Hi, I'm from Columbus, OH and My bonsai needs some help i think. This is my second year owing the trident maple forest bonsai. I bought it from online and it was doing great last year. Last year by this time all the leaves were out and grown. But there is not a tiny bit has came yet this year. I see the buds are there since winter but it hasn't opened yet and I don't see any progress. not sure how long it has been since its last re-potted, so i was thinking that it might need root pruning. So i talked a lady at garden center as seems to be knowledgeable in bonsai. She asked me to hold off on reporting or root pruning this year as tree might be in process of doing stuff. But she didn't see it visually so i wasn't sure. I'm asking for second opinion. Do you think its dead or has some issue? I do see that trunk is green from inside even i tried to open one of the but to see what going on and it was green as well. Has any experiencing this or has in past. I have attached some pictures. |

From a tiny workshop in Key West, we are making the most unique, one-of-a-kind longboards from 100% reclaimed and salvaged hardwoods.
Why? Because, no matter where it comes from, salvaged wood is textured with history and waiting to serve again. Finding the woods we use is a treasure hunt, but we love cutting into a battered, dusty old beam to reveal the brilliance inside. Salt, weather, rust, fire and oil season antique woods over time, and hint at the characters who have stepped, lived and loved on them. Maybe a walnut or hickory floorboard was tapped by a plantation owner's walking stick, burned by cigar ash, or spilled on by Papa Hemingway or Jimmy Buffett here in Key West. While each piece of wood contains history and stories, the best part for us is producing the most unique, handmade, one-of-a-kind longboards available anywhere in the universe. Firebird Longboards – The Ultimate in Recycled, Green Transportation since 2009.

Gasp! Every time I see pictures of your zinnias, I'm knocked out, Christie! I've not had much success growing zinnias - they get real tall, and then flop over in a big rain and start growing sideways, which I can't stand. How tall is that gorgeous scarlet flame, Christie? If it doesn't get too tall, I'd like to plant some seeds of that one! Here's one zinnia I grew that didn't get too tall, Zowie Yellow Flame - Sherry |

Gorgeous photos! Misssherry - You asked about the height on Scarlet Flame. They stayed under three feet for me and were doing fine until we got a storm. I had to prop several of them back up but they bloomed well the rest of the summer. They didn't look as neat as they did before the storm though. I think it would've helped if I'd had even a couple tomato cages or something in the middle to stop the domino effect. Molanic - do you remember what kind of zinnias you had? Looks very butterfly friendly. Great photos of the Painted Ladies! Your photo is beautiful too Imabirdnut. Sometimes the sun hits them just right. It looks like it's lit up. I can't remember which profusions I planted, maybe Cherry, but they faded badly to a dirty color and I haven't tried them again. |
I have no idea what kind of zinnias those are. I usually just direct sow an area where I mix up a bunch of taller annuals like zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, and tithonia. I don't pay much attention to the varieties of zinnias because I am not able to collect much seed from them before the birds get them. The only zinnias I can readily identify are the lilliput which are cute, but the butterflies don't care for them as much. All the zinnias usually get mildew and end up laying on the ground, but I always sow them anyways. FYI, I am really loving looking at all these great photos on these threads. I am having zone envy though. There are so many great butterflies in the more southern areas that I will never get to see here. This is my first year really noticing butterflies other than the most common five or so for this area. I was so excited just to see skippers which I never knew about just a year ago. I was really thrilled to see my first buckeye ever, even thought it was pretty ratty looking. I'm trying to add as many host and nectar plants to my yard as possible. But, I know that I will never get as many of these beauties as all you southerners have. I'm green with envy :) |
These are great photos! I love the idea of these threads Christie. I can dream about butterflies even if it's cold and wintry outside and butterfly season is long over. :) I have direct sowed the tall varieties of Zinnia elegans every year since 2006 because the butterflies love them so much. They usually do well except for one year that had terrible powdery mildew. That year I happened to grow them in the same spot as the previous year - supposedly rotating to new spots each year can reduce the chance of mildew and this seems to have worked for me. This year I grew Zinnia elegans seeds from Everwilde and some tall red Zinnias from a trade and they grew into a particularly nice patch. I've also grown 'Cut & Come Again', 'California Giants', and 'State Fair Mix' all of which the butterflies have loved. I've grown some of the shorter varieties of Zinnias like Profusion but the butterflies didn't show that much interest in them. These pics are from this year - Great Spangled Fritillary - Spicebush Swallowtail - Monarch - This pic is an old one from 2006 but it's one of my faves - twin Monarchs on twin Zinnias. |
- Posted by misssherry (My Page) on Tue, Dec 21, 10 at 20:06
I've never tried the Profusion zinnias, Imabirdnut, but they sound like some I should try. And the height of those Scarlet Flames sounds alright, Christie, although 2' would be better - once they get over about 2' they tend to get blown over or rained down. I'll definitely do some zinnias next spring. Sherry |
Very nice photos. |

Hi everyone, Christie...I agree with your assessment. almost all my butterfly/zinnia pictures are on red/pink zinnias. They also really enjoyed the zowie zinnias featured in Miss Sherry's picture and most of those have orange/red coloring toward the center. Tony |

Christie is quite "famous" for her beautiful Zinnias here on the forum. I don't know how she grows them up so pretty. Christie, share your Zinnia gardening secret with us, please. Mine always look like they're about to collapse. Do they need lots of water, fertilizer, soil prep? Susan |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Wed, May 30, 12 at 14:30
Susan - I didn't notice that this thread came back to the top earlier this month, so I missed your question - and somebody calling me "famous". Thank you! : ) lol I don't really have any secrets to share though. I never fertilize anything, mostly out of laziness, and I think zinnias are one of those things that do better in poor soil anyway. I do think it looks showier and maybe even attracts butterflies better to plant a huge patch of a single color rather than mixing them. Of the ones I grew last summer, I think Scarlet Flame handled the extreme heat the best. Zowie was my favorite for awhile early in the season but it got some brown leaves late in the summer and struggled. I also grew Violet Queen, Exquisite Pink, and Purple Prince (I think). It's not likely that it will be as hot as last summer again. I may quit gardening if every summer is going to be like that. I went nuts last summer trying to my plants watered so they wouldn't die. I doubt if anything really got enough including my zinnias. I'm giving Zowie another try and planting seeds a little earlier this year. I just sowed some today. Last year and the year before, I sowed seeds around mid June. I used containers this year though because I lost so many last year from various varmints. I will direct sow some too. This year I'm only planting Zowie and Scarlet Flame. I have some seeds that I ordered and also some that I collected last summer. I don't know if those will be worth the space but wanted to see what I get especially from Zowie, maybe some bicolors if the seeds are even any good. They were small. Some zinnias take longer but Zowie and Scarlet Flame started blooming barely over a month from the time I sowed them so it's not too late to plant zinnias for the butterflies folks. : ) |
No it's definitely not too late! I haven't even sowed mine yet and I do a large swath of tall Zinnias every year. I usually direct sow the Zinnias around June 1st, so I'm feeling a bit of pressure to get them sowed and get all the annual seedlings planted. Although today is rainy and cool and it's supposed to stay that way for most of the week. |

I thought it quite timely, while at our Application Architecture, Development and Integration Summit, that a bunch of cloud –types talked shop about how they plan to make your life easier when it comes to data integration. Here is the article: Integrating data for cloud and core apps the task is to make it suck less. My colleague, John Radcliffe, wrote on this a few months ago (The Impact of Social and Other 'Big Data' on Master Data Management, June 2012) from the perspective of Master Data Management. Master data will, of course, be at the center of many such data integration efforts.
The rub of the story is that there are no quick fixes. The core problem remains the same. You have a data model (or many), and the app-in-the-cloud vendor has a data model (or many), and you have to map semantically to make the integration work. And you could consider using a 3rd party data standard to map each too and so on. In other words, the choices you faced when you had total control and were doing this for apps inside your organizations are basically the same – only now you have less control. Now you have the same work to do (or someone does) and you have to be better at negotiating SLA's to make sure you get the support you need when you get the, "well, that request was not in the contract, sir", and "we can do that, but we need to set up a project to understand your 'new' requirements". Etc.
And it gets even more complicated once you add in a second cloud app provider – it's another moving part. I guess it will get more complex for a while, until and if the use of semantic web technologies are embedded in the semantic enterprise.

CureSearch for Children's Cancer funds and supportstargeted and innovative children's cancer research with measurableresults, and is the authoritative source of information and resourcesfor all those affected by children's cancer.
Children with cancer often receive blood and blood products as part of their treatment. Today, the U.S. blood supply is among the safest in the world. But, before the blood supply was routinely screened for viruses, some blood products contained hepatitis virus, which can cause infection of the liver.
Hepatitis is an infection of the liver that makes it stop working well. Most often, a virus causes the infection. The different types of hepatitis are named after the viruses that cause them. For example, hepatitis B is named after the hepatitis B virus that causes it.
The two main types of hepatitis that you can get from receiving infected blood products are hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Many people don't have symptoms when they are first infected. Some have flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or low-grade fever. Others have symptoms that suggest that their liver is not working well. These include yellow eyes and skin (jaundice), dark urine, severe itching, or pale stools. In rare cases, people may become very sick and develop liver failure.
Hepatitis may go away and cause no further health problems. But many people who were infected with hepatitis B or C as children have chronic, or ongoing, hepatitis infection. People with chronic hepatitis may have no symptoms, but they are at risk for liver damage. Signs of liver damage include enlargement of the liver and spleen, swelling or collection of fluid in the abdomen, yellow eyes and skin (jaundice), and problems with blood clotting. In rare cares, liver cancer can develop.
Screening of donated blood for hepatitis B began in 1971 and the most accurate screening for hepatitis C began in 1992. If you received the following blood or serum products before these dates you are at risk for hepatitis.
Other factors that raise risk for hepatitis B and C include:
Survivors who are at risk for hepatitis B or C should have blood tests to check for hepatitis virus infection.
If your hepatitis infection doesn't resolve, see a liver specialist (hepotologist) for evaluation and possible treatment. In addition, follow these tips to help prevent further liver damage:
To prevent spreading hepatitis B or C to others:
You can help lower your risk for liver problems by keeping a healthy lifestyle, such as:

shell structure
shell structure
In building construction, a thin, curved plate structure shaped to transmit applied forces by compressive, tensile, and shear stresses that act in the plane of the surface. They are usually constructed of concrete reinforced with steel mesh (see shotcrete). Shell construction began in the 1920s; the shell emerged as a major long-span concrete structure after World War II. Thin parabolic shell vaults stiffened with ribs have been built with spans up to about 300 ft (90 m). More complex forms of concrete shells have been made, including hyperbolic paraboloids, or saddle shapes, and intersecting parabolic vaults less than 0.5 in. (1.25 cm) thick. Pioneering thin-shell designers include Felix Candela and Pier Luigi Nervi.

Sandell sings Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and she does all she can with it: Her voice is balletic and rough-cute in just the right way…though I'll quibble a tad and say that my ears did wish for a clearer melody. Blake and Usher both spin, and there are words exchanged about the value of tattoos. All that is second to Blake's pitch, which is eerily exact — calling out the "sneaky" quality of Sandell's voice, and the way her notes ring a bit with vibrato. She's sold, as she should be, and goes Team Blake. That wraps up Blake's team going into the battle rounds. Off-hand, my favorites are Christian Porter, Holly Tucker, and Michelle Raitzin.
In a twist so obvious they reference it, Amber Carrington is the night's next performer. She's young and she has baggage (a mother dead of cancer) and she has dreams. Carson tries to share some words of advice with her, and it comes from a sincere place, I imagine, because he's also lost parents to cancer. But she tears up and it just feels icky, no? But as Carrington approaches the stand, she bucks up, reminding us that, "I'm going through those doors today and I'm gonna take my mama with me." (Y'all.)
For her audition, Carrington sings Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl." She's clapping and singing along and Adam loves it, while Blake is just upset that he can't spin around. (Shakira is jiving too, but Shakira is also waiting for a performer to blow her mind, remember, and cute, Carrie-singing blondes do no minds blow.) Adam spins early even as Carrington's voice weakens in the middle, but she rallies enough to earn a triumphant fist pump and effusive praise from her future coach, including phrases like "incredibly good" and "biggest surprise." I didn't hear quite that note of wonder, but I'll blame the translation from stage-to-screen because, again, Adam loves it. With Carrington going Team Adam, he's all stocked up for the season. My favorites are Judith Hill, Sasha Allen, and Sarah Simmons.
At 24, with a pair of glasses and shirt buttoned to the very top, Minneapple resident Dustin Hatzenbuhler could have been hiding some sort of vocal trickery. Alas, his style and sitcom-cute parents — who let us know that it's totally fine that their son is still living at home, nudge nudge — are only masking a pleasing voice doing a spin on Bublé's "Haven't Met You Yet." As I wrote in my notes, OF COURSE HE DID. Hatzenbuhler seems nervous even as he snapped in rhythm, which is surely part of the reason his performance descends rapidly into shaky garbles. No coaches turn, but they do offer him some advice: Next time, be more Sinatra ("swag," Usher corrects me) than show tune.
With two spots still open, the episode should start to show a little strain here, between suspense and inertia. After all, it's inevitable that Shakira and Usher will pick two more contestants — and there's only minutes left in the episode, and only minutes left for surprises or rejections. Things should feel settled. But this is The Voice, and The Voice is in the prime of its cultural moment and we're about to be reminded why.

I dug them up last fall and saved them in a cool dark place, in paper bags.
How do I tell if they are alive? By the time I find out, it might be too late to find (or start) replacements. I had some planted in pots with tuberous begonias. Someone on here (I've forgotten who) suggested just storing those pot and all. But I'm not sure how to start them again: bring them up to warmth and daylight, or just water the pots, or both? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I threw out my caladium bulbs today. They seemed light and dry and when I cut up a few they crumbled more than cut. I did something wrong in the fall. Maybe I should have cut off the leaves when I dug them. I think the whole plant dried and died instead of the energy going back down into the root. I would repot the ones from last year, but only because I'm a poker and can't leave well enough alone and would have to see the bulbs rather than have the faith something is going on underground. In theory warmth, light and water should wake them up, and it's probably the more responsible approach. |
Kato, the ones I stored in bags, are like yours! All dry, light, and crispy. That leaves the ones that were left planted, but I doubt they are alive. The soil is very dry in those pots. I DID cut the leaves off mine. I did that first, then dug them a few days later. They were declining anyway, as fall temperatures got colder. I figured they had already gotten the signal to go dormant. They must be more easily dried out. The paper lunch bags (put inside a larger cardboard box) work well for my tuberous begonias. I will have to find out what is the right way to store these. Now I have to find more. Menard's had them at 4 for $5.50; that seemed like a lot to me. IS it? Plus they were packed in wood shavings in a blister pack, and you could not tell how large or small the corms were. If caladiums dry out that easily, I'd think wood shavings are not the way to go. Plus I really love the green and white ones I had last year, and Menard's did not have those. Home Depot, where I bought the White Christmas in a bulk pack of 18 last year, did not have them. HD had nowhere near the quantity/choices of summer bulbs they had last year. |
I'm not sue what the deal is with them. I did almost just like you except I left the leaves on the bulbs while they dried. I didn't run into this last time I grew them. Actually one winter I left the tubers bare in a dish near the windowsill all winter (due to laziness) and still it came back as good as ever the next spring. Go figure. I wouldn't worry about the wood shavings. I bet they are fine. Somehow those bulb sellers are just better at storing bulbs and keeping them from drying out.... it's like they make their living that way or something, lol! All I see around here are mixes, I'd get them but never know what to do with the green and red ones (which I don't like). If I could find the white and green ones with the pink blush in the center I'd be happy! 4 for 5.50 sounds high, but not if the tubers are big. I got a pack at SAM's last year, 60 for 15 dollars.... the bulbs were about the size of the tip of my pinky finger. This year I saw the bags labeled 30 bulbs for the same price. I think I'm passing on those, even though they did work out eventually... |

Use Gold To Decorate A House
Decorating using gold is the latest trend in 2010, and a modern approach and shining ideas make this metal more precious than ever. There are many ways for increasing the expressiveness of the walls and for making your home a place where you feel at ease.Decorating your home in a theme of gold is one of the toughest themes too chose, as a single mistake can spoil the whole show and get up of the place.
Gold is a precious color, but when used excessively it can look very kitschy. I personally don't like this color at all. Most of the times it's used excessively or in a bad way and the results are ugly. So even if this is the latest trend, don't be fooled by the rest of the world. Stick with your own preferences, unless you want to make your house look cheep and to ruin the beautiful design that you already have, It takes a very artistic eye to be able to use this color in a good way. So I wouldn't recommend it to you.
There are a lot of tones of gold, and most of them are not natural looking so it's not a good idea to use it on your furniture. It is going to look cheap and you'll eventually realize you have ruined it and you'll have to replace it. So unless you're certain that this is what you want, don't try this at home.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomics, offering a broad range of novel applications on a high throughput, genome wide level.
The goal of our Core Facility is to provide cutting edge next generation DNA sequencing technology to its users. Currently, sequencing is performed on Illumina platforms (GAIIx and HiSeq) in single read or paired end modus. Maximal read length is 2x100bp yielding an maximum of 40Gbp quality filtered reads per lane.
Advice and guidance of sequencing projects are offered by our team, that relys on five years of experience with sequencing systems and sequencing data analysis. All common sequencing applications (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, Whole Genome Sequencing etc.) are supported and the development of novel methods and protocols encouraged.
Depending on the required application, library preparation can either be performed by the users or by the NGS team. Multiplexed, barcoded samples can be used to fully exploit the sequencing capacity of the systems. We provide sample preparation protocols and offer contact to Illumina or reference customers on demand. To ensure optimal sequencing results we have introduced quality control steps at several points of the sequencing procedure.
Base calling and primary analysis is standardly applied to the sequence reads resulting in bam/fastq files and quality information.
Our Core Facility team set up a selection of bioinformatics tools in order to assist you in further data analysis. Additionally, to these programs we use Galaxy.
If you are interested in Next Generation Sequencing please contact the NGS facility team to discuss the best support of your projects.

Founded in 1712 by Tsar Peter I of Russia, Tula
Arms Plant (Tulsky Oruzheiny
Zavod) is a Russian weapons manufacturer that served whoever ruled Russia.
Before the company went into the production of arms and sports weapons mainly
for the Russian army, its main objective was to manufacture weapons of the
locals of Tula to defend themselves from invasions. In 1720, the plant began supplying weapons
such as light infantry, pistols flintlock and dragoon files for the Russian
army. In 1749, the plant went into the mass production of sabers, knives,
swords and broadswords.
In the 19th century,
the reorganized Tula Arms Factory was one of the best firearms manufacturers in
Europe. The plant went into the production of the Berdan rifle. There was an
increase in the production of single and double-barreled muzzle-loading rifles,
shotguns and breech-loading centerfire rifles.
In 1891, Sergei Ivanovich Mosin and Belgian Alexander Nagant designed the
three-line-rifle of 1891 which was used by the Russian army.
In 1902, the plant went into
mechanized mass production of hunting rifles. In 1910, came about the Maxim
machine gun. In the next 20 years came about the production of model P hunting
rifle, NK-8.2 rifled carbine, TOZ-1 and TOZ2 small caliber rifles, TOZ-7 and
TOZ-8 rifle sights, and TOZ-10 sports rifle. The plant also manufactured the
first spinning and milling machines.
In WW II, the Nazis' advancement
into Tula forced the evacuation of the plant which resulted into minute production
of weapons at this time. Between 1941-1945 Tula produced the Tokarev pisytol,
the Nagant revolver and the SVT-38/40 self-loading rifles for the Allied
forces. After WWII, there was concentration on the production of hunting and
sporting weapons such as the TO3-25, TOZ-8M, TOZ-12, TOZ-16 and TOZ-18, and the
7.62mm carbine Simonov SKS. In 1965,
the TOZ-34, a double-barreled shotgun
with vertical shaft was offered. From
1961-1980, the plant was commissioned to manufactured the Kalashnikov assault
rifle, Bonfire competition grenade, anti-tank guided missiles (Baby, Viola) and
the TOZ-35 competition free pistol.
Tula Arms Plant manufactured
various military rifles from the early to mid-Soviet era. Some of these rifles
are the SVT-40, Mosin-Nagant, AK-47, SKS and the Nagant M1895 revolver. From 1980 onward, the plant continued to
produce the AK-47, AK-75. TOZ rifle. OTs-14 Groza, AS Val and VSS Vintorez
including small arms ammunition for the public and military use.
This manufacturer currently doesn't have any firearms listed.

Rahul Vaidya who stood 3rd in Sony Entertainment's hit show Indian Idol is doing quite well recently. He launched his first album "Tera Intezaar" which is quite hit. Jalees Sherwani and Sajid-Wajid who happens to be the music composer for the hit films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Tere Naam composed the music for Rahul's album. 18-year-old Rahul Vaidya proved his talent by giving an album comprising entirely his songs. Tera Intezaar with its deep-rooted songs, great names behind it and Rahul's voice got to do well.
Rahul also sang for Sanjay Dutt starer Shaadi No.1 whose music is composed by none other then one of the Indian Idol Judge Anu Malik. Shreya Ghoshal is his co-singer and the movie is produced by Vashu Bhagnani with David Dhawan is the director. It will be right to say that he is the best singer among all Indian Idol finalists commercially. He gets the highest rates for the show, has come up with an album, which is completely composed by established music directors, and did playback singing in big banner movie too.

Farm Press Release
The Honorable Ann Veneman Secretary of Agriculture United States Department of Agriculture 1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20250
RE: Federal U. S. Warehouse Act regulation changes affecting state grain dealer/merchandising laws
Dear Secretary Veneman:
We, the undersigned state attorneys general and commissioners and secretaries of agriculture, write you today on an issue of immediate importance to our respective states. Our concerns revolve around two considerations. First, an agency of the federal government is encroaching on regulatory schemes for grain merchandising that have been the sole province of the states for many decades. This agency does so without any federal regulatory plan in place to compensate for the elimination of the state programs. Second, this encroachment is not in the best interests of the states' agricultural producers.
For many years, the federal government and various state governments have worked harmoniously performing their respective regulatory functions at federally licensed elevators throughout the country. Specifically, the USDA has regulated the storage of grain, and state regulatory agencies have regulated the merchandising of grain in federally licensed facilities.
In addition to regulating the merchandising of grain in federally licensed grain warehouses, many state regulatory schemes provide a source of indemnification for farmers who suffer financial losses resulting from their sale of grain to insolvent federally licensed grain warehouses. This indemnification has been accomplished by means of grain dealer bonds and/or grain dealer indemnity funds derived from assessments paid by those farmers and/or elevators.
During this period, if the purchase and sale of agricultural products were governmentally regulated and/or producer losses indemnified, those responsibilities fell on the respective states. There was no question raised as to states' authority to do so. In addition, no federal regulatory program in the past or at present has existed to perform these important regulatory functions.
On August 5, 2002, a USDA rule change, previously unknown to the public in general and the states in particular, was made public. If this change is ultimately implemented, the authority of states to regulate the purchase and sale of agricultural products in both federal and state warehouses, and the protection of the financial interests of farmers selling those agricultural products, will be jeopardized. Specifically, section 735.1(c) of the Final Rule states that "compliance with State laws relating to warehousing, grading, weighing, storing, merchandising, or other similar activities is not required with respect to activities engaged in by a warehouse operator in a warehouse subject to a license issued in accordance with this part." (Emphasis added.) 7 C.F.R. § 735.1.
Interestingly, the term "merchandising" was never a part of this rule during the initial drafting and comment phases of the rule making process. Its existence became known only after it appeared in the Final Rule last August, well after the comment period had concluded. Since the buying and selling of agricultural products is totally removed and different from the storage of those products, many individuals and governmental entities believe the massive change set out in the rule is beyond the scope of the U. S. Warehouse Act itself.
The impact of the proposed Final Rule is monumental for and, in our opinion, detrimental to America's farmers for three major reasons. First, federal regulators have no administrative procedures in place to implement a federally-sponsored system of checks and balances on purchases of agricultural products from producers. Second, even if rudimentary merchandising procedures could be established prior to the Final Rule's current implementation date of January 8, 2003, the USDA lacks the sufficient number of employees adequately trained to perform the requisite merchandising oversight duties. Third, the USDA has neither developed nor implemented a system of indemnification to protect farmers who sell grain to Federally licensed warehouses.
The undersigned respectfully request that the United States Department of Agriculture rescind the Final Rule as it is currently drafted. At the very least, we urge you to extend the moratorium on implementation of the final rule and leave state regulatory and indemnification programs governing federally licensed grain warehouses in place until the USDA has actually developed, adequately staffed and is ready to implement alternative, effective federal programs to regulate federally licensed warehouses and indemnify producers.
If you feel a meeting between representatives of your office and a delegation representing the undersigned might prove helpful, please contact my office as soon as possible so that such a meeting might be arranged.
Because of the serious consequences that may impact producers in all agricultural states, we look forward to your response before January 7, 2003.
Thank you for your time and consideration of our concerns.
Yours truly,
THOMAS J. MILLER Attorney General of Iowa

Havana Twist Hair V.S Marley Braid Hair
What do you think about this video?
JazelleRozayVP: OMG yall just gave me life, i will be ordering this hair today lol . Jalissa Willis: How much did the Havana hair cost? Dannielle M.: Hey I love the video, an its me Dannie from Eng 150 wit Pro. Greene of Sp 12. Do more hair videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Melissa Butler: the promo code is: Therealmellyb :-) L. John: Lol. I have fairly long natural hair (a little below my shoulders), so I would want/need long(er) twists rather than short(er) ones. AKIYIAKELLY: So which do you think was better? Tiffany LaShawn: All marley hair isn't the same tho. I give seen marley hair much puffier than the one you have there... Melissa Butler: i think $11, I say it in the video if i'm not mistaken and you can always go ahead and click the link. :-D thanx for watching! L. John: Do you know how many times it can be reused? If it can only be reused once for example, I can't justify the price, but it you can use it 3+ times I could. Melissa Butler: Yes it worth it though I can honestly say that. I still use the hair for faux buns and pompadours too. Dannielle M.: Im doing crochet braids and this will be my 3rd hair attempt, an I was just looking for new hair to use an your video came up when I was looking for "crochet braids using marley hair". Melissa Butler: Thank you :-D.... it's revlon color-burst lip butter in lollipop if im not mistaken. Melissa Butler: Ofcourse I'm comparing my particular brand w/ the havana twist hair and since that video I have tried 3 more brands of Marley Braid hair and I have hated for two strand twists as well. For some reason what I've been noticing is the hair starts off puffy then when I twist or braid it, it get more silky. Melissa Butler: Hey girl! how did you find my youtube? I will def be doing more hair videos :-) Melissa Butler: I will try twist with the hair 3 times just for you. lolzz but what length of time are you thinking of for each time? L. John: Oh. I like to keep mine in longer. It's nice not having to do my hair for awhile! Dannielle M.: ok..i'll check them out Melissa Butler: ook I usually only keep my hair in for 1 month max b/c i get bored and miss my hair but I will try to keep it in really long to do a in-depth review Victoria Renee: lol I used the Marley Braid hair to try and do Havana twist and lets just say my hair looked like I grew locks overnight. It was cute tho I did a video on it, check it out on my channel. I discuss natural hair, extensions, fitness, education, life, etc, and sometimes if I'm feeling creative or silly I will post a skit. So be sure to check me out sometime. Thanks. =) Mariah203: it's 12.99 a pack Melissa Butler: havanna twist hair can be reused so I'm feeling better about the price now. If you are still thinking of buying it you should subscribe to my channel and I will be making a video soon with a coupon code that will upgrade your shipping. :-) JazelleRozayVP: Well! I have NOT ordered the hair yet, but now im excited lol :) Melissa Butler: Havanna twists hands down for 2 strand twists and durability, I was able to wash and reuse the hair. I ended up trying 4 different brands of marley braid and they all we're too soft for the 2 strand twist, I will keep trying them out but right now Havanna twists hair has them beat. Melissa Butler: if you haven't already ordered I will have a coupon code soon for my lovely subbies to get upgraded shipping. :-) Melissa Butler: I meant like 3 times (1 month each use) or 3 times (3 months each time)? But I actually am planning on trying a technique to make my havana twist longer too cause I love hair longer. Kristin Grey: Which did you say is softer? I don't want to buy the Finger Comber hair if it's ruff? ColourMeChoco: i just ordered this hair (its pricey) but im really glad your reviewed it :] that way I can feel better about the money aspect of it. Im glad you can reuse it. L. John: Oh, haha. I mean 3 times of 6-8 weeks each. Melissa Butler: will do :-) Nappybutterfly Callender: what color lipstick are you wearing. its a pretty color and it looks good on you. Mahogany Philly: This is a useful comparison. Thank you! AKIYIAKELLY: Thx... I was wondering what the diffrence was. L. John: The Marley braid hair they have at Sally's (Vienna brand) is fairly coarse. I had twists put in using it, and a week later, my hair looks just as good, if not better than it did when I first got it done! The texture definitively has some good curls, and it's a bit puffy, especially if you separate it out first. It's $8 a pack, so it's definitely easier on your wallet if extensions aren't something you normally do. I do want to try the Havana twist hair though, especially since you can reuse it. L. John: Hmm...I only do braids/twists in my hair, I don't like wearing it out much...so for the Havana hair to be worth it to me, it would need to have at least 3 sets of twist in it, because it you can only use it twice, it would be cheaper to just buy and use Marley braid hair. Melissa Butler: Makes sense. I will put them in for valentines day then keep them until I come back from my cruise (mid march) which should be about 6 weeks :-) Melissa Butler: yes I will be ordering some more too, just beware it will hurt your pockets a bit. lolzz AKIYIAKELLY: Thank you so much! I am going to get some of this hair. :-)) I will keep you posted. Kristin Grey: *rough oops Melissa Butler: Well thats tricky I have re used it once for havana twists but I have used it several times for faux buns and pompadours. The hair is still fine. I am planning on using it for a third time along with more havana hair, I will make a review after that use describing how well the hair holds up. Melissa Butler: The marey braid I found to be smoother while the finger comber is really coarse. Melissa Butler: N/P i was too thats why I decided to share the info :-) Melissa Butler: oo cool I haven't tried crochet braids yet. I have more hair vids though. Melissa Butler: you welome, hope it was helpful.... :-) JazelleRozayVP: Yayyyy L. John: Sweet. Let me know how it works out! Melissa Butler: hmm I'm not sure, I think you should contact them but as far as the ends I have a tutorial where I show how I curl the ends. I twisted mine just fine so i'm unsure why you had an issue but I think you should contact them. Have you watched any tutorials? Tiffany LaShawn: Have* Melissa Butler: Please do... can't wait to find out the turn out! :-) |

Large tube for a low price. It tastes and smells sweet which I like - not recommended if you don't like sugary glosses. It isn't one of those very sheer flavoured glosses, which I'm thrilled with. The colour is full-on and is a fabulous shiny red-brown/mahogany. I'd class it as a 'grown-up' type colour. I've been using this lipgloss for ages. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it's sticky and your hair will stick to it when you walk around, but this is common with shiny lipglosses.
I can't believe how many bad reviews this lovely little lipgloss has gotten! I loove this lipgloss, I bought it on sale for about $3 and am so glad I did. It's a shimmery (not glittery) reddish-brown colour which suits my skintone reaally well -- I'm about an NC42 for reference. The smell and taste are really nice and sweet, pretty much like brown sugar as the name suggests. I usually wear this when I'm going for a golden, bronzed look.
I was pressured into buying this stuff even though I thought it didn't suit me, which is another issue altogether I have with Bath & Body. Anyhow, I hated the smell and the colour of this stuff. Flat, boring, brown colour and sickening sweet. I gave it so many tries too until I gave up the dream and realized that there was no salvaging this dud.

I can't believe it... there is a liplicious that I DO NOT LIKE!
I love the liplicious lipglosses -- I collect them, along with the VS Beauty Rush glosses, which I was told by a SA at B&BW that they are the same because they are owned by the same corporation. I picked this up, along with several others, at my local B&BW outlet for $1-2 each. I always pick the glosses based on their scents, and I was thinking brown suger has to be a safe bet, right?
It smells like maple syrup. Ok, so I know I am probibly a minorty, but I HATE maple syrup. Not even on my pankes! So, this should be called MAPLE & BROWN SUGAR, so then I never would have bought it! This is the first time ever I've ever had Liplicious lip glosses has not smell exactly what you would expect it to smell like based on the name. Wow. they messed up on this one. I was expecting the "warm vanilla sugar" type scent...
Other then that, I loved the color. I kept trying to get over the smell because I thought the color (a medium-deep red brown w/ golden shimmer) would be great for fall/winter, but nope.. it just smells/taste too strong, which is normally why I like them, but if you don like the smell/taste it's just unbearable.
I'm going to be lenient on the rating, however, because I understand smell is such a personal thing, and everything else about this I love... I just had to tell you guys that it smells/taste like maple because I wished someone told me that... then I wouldn't have wasted my money on this.
Other then this one, I love the liplicious lip glosses. The usually smell/taste great, just like what they are supposed to. I love that the regular ones are rather pigmented for a lip gloss, and give you some real color, except for the "sheer" ones. I love that the label them that way so you know what you are getting -- nothing is more annoying then buying a lip gloss for the color, just to find its another clear/sheer to add to the millions I already have. I love the consistency of these - I find them to be a little thick & sticky, but just enough so that they stay on the lips for a long time. They make my lips feel nice & hydrated as well.
Packaging is pretty standard, but good quality. Mine have survived a lot of abuse being thrown around in bags, purses, backpacks.. and they have a stopper in the cap so in case I sit on it in my back pocket it won't "ooze" out and I've never had one of these burst open on me yet.. one even survived a trip through the wash in tact -- that was pretty amazing.
Too bad I just can't stand the smell. IMO, this is the worst liplicious ever -- & I've tried my fair share. :(

I really do like this gloss...The color looks beautiful on my olive skin tone, very understated. It looks cool and dark in the tube, but it is actually slightly warm/neutral brown with red and gold shimmer. The smell is tolerable, a bit like caramelized brown sugar, and the taste is like maple syrup. Not bad at all. My one complaint is the price. If I didn't love the color so much, I would just buy something cheaper with bigger packaging. But, all in all, I love the product and would most definitely recommend it.

Smells and tastes teribble! I don't like it at all, I threw it out after getting it in the brown sugar gift basket!
Mmmm this smells and tastes like a bakery! Very yummy but I really hate the color. The dark brown looks bad with my skin tone and it doesn't come out and give full coverage - it's a bit blotchy and a couple coats just leaves you looking the same. It looked sheer but brown on me but may look better on other people. Either way, this is so delicious and I use it during the winter!
More reviews by bhindhazeleyez
I really like this color. I never would have bought it if the SA hadn't convinced me to try the tester. I have pale skin with pink tones, and this was the last color I would have reached for. To my surprise, it looks amazing on me! I really like it for fall/winter. I don't mind the smell, even though it's definitely not my favorite scent.

Zip Code Dispatches: Is your economy on the mend?
Economists have been saying that the recession that began in December 2007 with the subprime mortgage loan craziness and took a nosedive in the fall of 2008 is, technically at least, over. And though unemployment remains high, at 10 percent, economists are predicting growth in the spring. (Sort of sounds like Chauncey Gardner in the movie "Being There," doesn't it?)
Over the summer, I was reading Home Economics, a series of dispatches in The New York Times by writers in different parts of the country on how the recession was affecting each of their communities. One writer in Detroit found a booming business for bicycles as the engine of the former Motor City went silent. Another wrote about a fish store in Iowa City.
I got to thinking, how cool would it be if people in this area wrote dispatches, or sent in observations about what they're seeing in their own communities - a sort of recovery watch by zip code in the Washington, D.C. region, if you will.
E-mail me with your idea or the story of your own life or an observation from your own zip code. We'll compile the dispatches and publish the best ones here on the blog.

According to the U.S. Green Building Council, buildings in the United States consume 70% of total electricity and 39% of all energy, as well as generate 39% of our total carbon footprint. They also represent 40% of raw material use and 30% of all waste output. Whether it be in the planning, design, construction, and operation of our homes, buildings on campus, or our local government headquarters, buildings represent one of our greatest social liabilities in Wisconsin when we consider the long-term costs of energy and material resources, not to mention the change occurring in climate and ecosystem adaptations. We are clearly at a point where it no longer makes sense, economic or otherwise, to build and/or rehabilitate buildings that don't produce as much energy as they consume. As we think about personal, professional, and civic choices in building design and life cycle costs, we hope you will find the links below of interest and assistance in making choices that make sense for the next generation.
As always, your constructive critiques and suggestions for refinement of this portion and the rest of the site are welcome.

Attorney for Indianapolis' weather service chief responds to his removal in sexual harassment case
Daniel McCarthy relieved of duty
INDIANAPOLIS - Days after the top administrator for the National Weather Service in Indianapolis was relieved of his command in a sexual harassment investigation , his attorney is proclaiming his innocence of any wrongdoing.
The Call 6 Investigators first reported Friday that Daniel McCarthy, 56, has been relieved of his command amid allegations of sexual harassment at the local forecasting office.
"(He) is innocent of any allegations of misconduct … and looks forward to clearing his name," his attorney, Joel Kirkpatrick , said Monday.
He declined to reveal any specifics about the allegations against his client.
McCarthy was appointed Meteorologist In Charge in July 2007, according to his blog. He also listed that he is married with three children.
A 32-year-old who works for him, among approximately 25 forecasters at the local office, filed a police report last week stating she is being threatened on Facebook because of the sexual harassment case.
The police report did not spell out her involvement in the case, so it was unclear whether she is the alleged victim in the sexual harassment investigation.
The woman told police that she started receiving threatening text messages from another coworker's wife after McCarthy was removed from his position.
Police wrote in their report that the woman sent officers several Facebook messages from that coworker's wife, but officers wrote that she claims to have deleted the most serious and threatening messages.
"She did this so they wouldn't be seen by her Facebook friends," the officers wrote.
The interim Meteorologist In Charge, Steve Eddy, told the Call 6 Investigators that the woman is a senior forecaster at the office, who is still on the job as usual.
Eddy also said the man whose wife is accused of sending the threatening messages is also a senior forecaster, who also remains on the job during the investigation.
Eddy said he was brought in from Hastings, Neb., to run the Indianapolis weather office during McCarthy's removal. He said the removal of a top official during an investigation, "doesn't mean they're guilty."
He said he has seen other top meteorologists removed from their commands elsewhere in the past, and some have been returned to the top job after being cleared of any wrongdoing.
Eddy said the Facebook threats are now being rolled into the overall internal investigation at the weather service.

Good Morning, Everyone,
We just had about three very rainy days. I went outside this morning and noticed that many of the quarter (or a bit larger) size green tomatoes have horribly cracked through the bottom. Should I remove them, so that the plant can concentrate on recreating healthy tomatoes or just leave them to ripen? They are awfully green, small, and already quite damaged... Thanks & Please Advise if you...:-) Stellabee |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's your choice. Many will heal/scar over weather permitting, some won't. So it is up to you which you remove and which you don't. You don't include your zone or location so we can't really advise on specifics. Dave |
Hi Dave, Thank you for the quick response, and I'm going to do just that. I'll wait and see if they start to heal and only cut the ones that don't seem to be recovering properly. Oh, and didn't realize I didn't type in my area (Decatur, GA)...oops. |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 12:37
Stellabee, there's also a Decatur IL. And one in AL. And TX. MI, IN, NE.... 8-) |
If you add your zone and/or specific location to the Zone bar provided with posts it then becomes permanent for all your posts and no need to type it in each time. It really is vital info. They need to remove the "(optional)" element from it because it isn't...optional. Dave |
Hey Guys, thanks. I will click around and see if I can make my area permanent for posts. It is annoying to have to type it in each time. By the way, Dave, the tomatoes have already started to heal and it's only been about 24 hours-amazing. Thanks for the good advice. |

View our feature on Nora Roberts's The Bridal Quartet.
New Love takes the cake in the third novel in Nora Roberts's new Bride Quartet-in a stunning French flap editionWedding baker Laurel McBane is surrounded by romance working at Vows wedding planning company with her best friends Parker, Emma, and Mac. But she's too low-key to appreciate all the luxuries that their clients seem to long for. What she does appreciate is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker's older brother Delaney, on whom she's had a mega-crush since childhood.
But some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the line with her-or so she thinks. When Laurel's quicksilver moods get the better of her-leading to an angry, hot, all-together mind-blowing kiss with Del-she'll have to quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into forever…
"No one writes relationships as well as Ms. Roberts, with the subtleties and quirkiness of the give and take of friendship and romance."
"It's the ultimate feel-good wish-fulfillment fantasy, and Nora Roberts is a true pro at delivering on those."
"It's impossible to deny Roberts's flair for sketching likable couples."
"This is the romance and grandeur of love that Roberts's fans have come to expect."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Georgie!
Facts about Georgie
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Georgie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi – My name is Georgie, I am 16 weeks old and I am soooo adorable and smart. I am potty trained, and learning to walk on a leash. I also love water and I am learning to swim in my foster home. Yes I am a blue Pitty but I got the white end of the stick. My spots are Blue.
I am very outgoing and love all people and animals that I meet. I will be about 55lbs when I am full grown and I weigh about 20lbs now.
Please call Joann at 602 819 5063 to hear more about me!
Please complete an adoption interest form and email it to email@example.com if you are interested in meeting me.
Other Pets at Valley Dogs
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Georgie, a Gilbert Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

For Jason Stalker, international experience with Atlantic salmon means a consistently high quality product and humane care of the fish. As Harvest Manager, Jason oversees the entire harvest process, including proper fish handling techniques.
"I follow the fish from the sites to the box," he said. We grow our fish for three years and know that the last few minutes of their lives are key. There's a small window of time to ensure the fish are exposed to a minimum amount of stress. "My experience in Tasmania gave me a clear understanding of fish handling and husbandry practices," said Jason.
Although Jason was born in Vancouver's Lower Mainland, his stepfather was employed in the oil and gas industry and his family relocated based on where the work was. Jason finished high school in Nova Scotia and later graduated from Sault College of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario in the early 1990s with a diploma in Integrated Resource Management and a major in Fish and Wildlife.
The aquaculture component caught my interest and I worked for a summer as a farm technician for Kyuquot Sound Farms, which eventually became Marine Harvest, said Jason. The job became permanent after school finished and I worked my way up to Assistant Manager, he added.
Jason worked for five years as manager of farms in Klemtu before an opportunity came knocking – a position as Regional Production Manager for salmon farming company Tassal in Tasmania where he was in charge of six sites. After five years he returned to Campbell River and a case of good timing meant Jason rejoined Marine Harvest sooner than he ever anticipated.
Jason and wife Leigh, who is a Registered Professional Forester, were married this past summer. They love the diversity of outdoor activities Campbell River offers, from mountain biking and snowboarding to fishing, camping, and canoeing.

Last month, the adventurous London dance-pop trio Saint Etienne returned with "Tonight," their first new single in a very long time. And now they've made a video for the track, which is mostly about how fun it is to go out at night in London. They would know! The band themselves mostly serve as a backdrop; this one's for the kids. Watch it below.
Saint Etienne are planning to release their first new album since 2005 later this year.
