Letter From the President
Hola Amigas!
Bienvenidas to Laramie County Community College! On behalf of the LCCC family, it is my great pleasure to continue the tradition of hosting the Wyoming Latina Youth Conference! Our Latina and Latino community is a growing and ever-important part of our community, Laramie County, and Wyoming, and for that reason I am honored to have your presence on our campus for this year's conference.
The American dream is still alive and well here in Wyoming. While opportunity still exists for the first time in generations, grabbing that opportunity will require rising to the challenges that may stand in our way and have unfailing hope for a better future. This is true of every community, but especially for women of color, even more so when they do not necessarily have the support structure to help them tackle these challenges.
Yet there is hope. At LCCC, our Latino student population is growing, and more importantly, we are seeing more and more students from ethnic backgrounds earn their degree, go on to the University or become employed in a rewarding career. These individuals are inspirations to me, and I hope they will be inspirations to you and your families.
Higher education will be your key to experiencing a productive, self-fulfilling life. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of all jobs in the future will require some education or training after high school. We also know that college graduates are more likely to be involved in their communities, to volunteer, and to lead healthier lives. And probably most importantly, we know that the most significant indicator of whether or not a child will go on to pursue a higher education is if their parents or family members did so. Your journey and ultimate success in college will not only be yours, but it will likely lead to the success of those around you.
LCCC is happy to support you in your preparation for the future, starting with the Wyoming Latina Youth Conference. I wish you the very best in your future and applaud your participation in this worthy event!
¡Buena suerte!
Joe Schaffer, Ed.D. President
Letter from the Superintendent

Discusses New Advancements to Improve Existing Simulations of Plant Nitrogen
Written by research pioneers and leading scientists in the area of agricultural systems, Quantifying and Understanding Plant Nitrogen Uptake for Systems Modeling comprehensively covers plant N uptake in agricultural system models, especially for building soil-plant system models.
The text illustrates how to minimize the transportation of nitrogen fertilizers in crop production to surface and ground waters, as even moderate errors in uptake estimations lead to a dramatic increase in the amount of nitrogen leached into groundwater. It also highlights the knowledge gaps preventing correct simulation of this process and explains what to look for when using a system model and interpreting simulation results.
Applies to a Variety of Crops, Including Oilseed, Wheat, Potatoes, and Maize
Addressing quantification and synthesis in the context of system modeling, this text introduces cutting-edge and original information regarding N uptake not previously offered by other research texts in the field. This, in turn, benefits scientists, professors, system modelers, and model users in interpreting modeling results for enhancing nitrogen management and developing decision support tools.
This volume documents, with complex, detailed models, plant N uptake based on absorption kinetics of transporters across the root cell membranes, mass flow, and diffusion to the root surface of single or composite roots. It also provides simpler models used in N uptake simulations at the field and watershed scales.
Discusses All Areas of the Complex Process
In addition to the important processes of nitrogen translocation, remobilization, and grain protein formation, the book documents various philosophies, mechanisms, and scales in simulating plant N uptake in agricultural system models, while providing an extensive review of the uptake of dissolved organic nitrogen by plants in ecosystems.

A crowd of about 200 gathered to celebrate the upcoming marriage set for Aug. 8 at Hilfiger's home in Mustique in the West Indies. Among the guests were Terry Lundgren, Vera Wang, Kenneth Cole, Harvey Weinstein, Russell Simmons, Clive Davis, Roger Waters, Anna Wintour and William and Aerin Lauder.
Leonard Lauder, chairman of the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc., said he had two words of advice for Hilfiger: "Yes, Dee."When asked why he decided to throw a party for Hilfiger, Lauder recounted his more than 15-year relationship with the designer, who was Lauder's first licensee.
"We've been partners from Day One," Lauder continued, describing the growing closeness of their relationship."It's been a love affair all those years. We've finished each other's sentences," said Lauder. "I was worried about him being single. When I met Dee, I thought, we need to get this engagement going right away."
"He hit the jackpot," said Weinstein.
According to Ocleppo, the ceremony will be held by the sea in the backyard of Hilfiger's island home, which is called Palm Beach. The event will be limited to just family and their six shared children.
A "celebration" of the marriage will be held at a reception Oct. 17 in the ballroom of the Plaza Hotel in New York.Ocleppo, an American former model who had lived in Monte Carlo and Paris, first met Hilfiger in Saint-Tropez back in July 2005. When asked how they first met, Ocleppo recalled going to a bar to get change for a 500 euro note to buy her son something off the beach and unexpectedly got introduced to Hilfiger through his yoga instructor. "My son was being very greedy that one day at the beach and kept wanting me to buy everything from tattoos to peanuts," said Ocleppo. "Had I not gone to the bar to get change, I would have never meet him."

The Michigan Pond Hockey Sports Charities (MPHSC) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit charity. This tournament is a fund raising event for this charity. All the proceeds from the tournament go directly to a fund that will be dispersed to local school districts and hockey associations.
Michigan Pond Hockey Sports Charities (MPHSC) provides families in need of financial assistance for their children to participate in youth athletic programs.
Many school districts are forced to adopt a "pay to participate" model for school athletics programs. Families that are under a financial hardship can apply for a MPHSC scholarship, which will pay that child's participation fee or needed equipment. The support from the MPHSC will encourage and promote the health and well-being of children through youth athletics.
There's something about Pond Hockey that touches us all; memories of our youth, a chance to get outside and celebrate the cold winter, and another way to play the greatest game we know. With events such as the NHL Winter Classic helping grow popularity for hockey and celebration for the game in its purest form. We are fortunate to have our own opportunity to bring this enthusiasm to Michigan, in the form of the Michigan Pond Hockey Classic.
The event was the brainchild of a couple of Whitmore Lake residents, Pete Read and Sam Iaquinto. These men share passions for both the greatest game on earth, and the love of winter activities. Read's passion for the game helped channel a vision of an old time hockey tournament held in Whitmore Lake; essentially, a tournament boasting "hockey the way it was meant to be played."
Read got together with Iaquinto, and the first annual Michigan Pond Hockey Classic was born in 2008. As we head into the eighth year, the tournament has grown both in size and maturity. We learn from the past, and improve each year to provide our participants a well-run tournament while growing the level of participation in a manageable way. The bottom line is, and has been since inception, to provide an unforgettable experience for all participants. To be able to grow the sport in Michigan and support local charities is simply an added reward to the efforts of all those involved.
We are all fortunate to have had a hand in creating this special weekend on an annual basis, and are even more privileged to be able to promote our beloved sport of hockey.

If you owe back taxes the IRS is constantly adding on interest and penalties to your balance. Your debt will grow about 2% per month in combined interest and penalties, adding nearly 24-25% to your balance every year. If you owe $10,000, after one year your debt grows to $12,400. Worsening your plight is that the IRS applies any payments or refunds to interest and penalties first, causing the "principle" of your tax debt to be reduced more slowly. This is one reason installment agreements are so expensive. Your payments are applied to principle and interest first, but the principle and interest continues to compound each month you are in the installment agreement. Consider these possible solutions:

This is our first house & we want to baby it with TLC as much as possible in our attempts to provide a tight house & prevent any moisture issues. What are good caulk types/brand for these specific application:? 1) Window trims - non bathroom Appreciate any feedback. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd recommend Alex Plus acrylic latex caulk from DAP for most DIY projects. It's paintable, durable, non-hardening, has a long work time and is readily available. For sinks, tubs, showers, etc, I use DAP Tub, Tile and Basin caulk. It's non-paintable, but has the other attrributes above. |
randy's choices are close---I use GE kitchen/Bath caulk. As important as the type of caulk is the prep for applying the caulk. Do a LOT of research on specific directions/recommendations for applying non paintable caulk---simply because if the surfaces are not absolutely pristine and clean, that type of caulk will not adhere. Very often, those surfaces need more prep than the simple 'clean and dry' mentioned on the label. Scrubbing with alcohol/thinner/weak acid is necessary in some cases. |
Thank you both. I will do some more research on the prep portion of it. I've also seen silicone & transparent caulk - when are those applicable to use? |
Paint won't adhere to Silicone caulk. Silicone transparent is used when colored caulk isn't desired. |
Got it now. Thanks randy427. |
Polyseamaeal, all the properties of the dap product, for a longer period of time, all paintable, excellent adhesion and tools with your dampened finger. Silicone work best 20ft deep in a land-fill, unopened. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 23, 13 at 16:18
Silicone has poor adhesion to porous materials; it works best on clean non-porous surfaces like metals and tile. It also cannot withstand immersion in water for long. But it is very stretchy. |

Jack Reacher also known as "One Shot"Reviewed by: Maggie Hays Offensive
Moviemaking Quality:
Primary Audience:
Adults Teens
Action Crime Suspense Mystery Drama
2 hr. 10 min.
Year of Release:
USA Release:
December 21, 2012 (wide—3,200+ theaters)
DVD: May 7, 2013 Relevant Issues
murder by sniper author: Lee Child, crime series novelist (off-site) character: Jack Reacher, ex-military homicide investigator (off-site)
"The law has limits. He does not." Following the shooting at the theater in Aurora, Colorado, just six months ago, resulting in the wounding of 70 unsuspecting people and the deaths of 12, and then the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School mere weeks ago, resulting in the deaths of 20 children and six adults, this movie hits a nerve. It begins with five people, innocently strolling a river walkway, gunned down in cold blood by a sniper, for no apparent reason. A shooter is arrested and ex-military investigator Jack Reacher arrives on the scene to, hopefully, provide evidence of motive. Tom Cruise plays Reacher well, just as he does Ethan Hunt in the "Mission: Impossible" movies. He has that self-confident carriage that makes him the "Righter of all Wrongs"—in this case, a potentially-innocent man wrongly accused of all those murders. Reacher is a modern-day Lone Ranger, a vigilante, an unsung hero everyone wants for a best friend when your rude neighbor acts like a jerk, and you don't know how to handle the problem. Jack Reacher knows how to handle every situation. Reacher does have a heart, evidenced by his protective attitude toward a young woman headed down the wrong path with the wrong guys. Desiring her welfare, he says to her "You don't have to let guys like that use you". If you're a good guy, you will be glad Reacher is around. If you're a bad guy, you will definitely regret any tangle with him. Let's look at the negative stats from a Christian perspective. One "F" word, several disrespectful mentions of "Jesus" and "Christ" as curse words, several crude references like "don't be a p_ssy" and "h_rny", "wh_re," "pr_ick," no sex scenes, though a one-second scene implies previous sexual activity, one woman bare-backed while dressing, and a report of rape. There is a bar scene. There are several cold-blooded killings. By the standards of the 1950's, this film would have been considered terribly crude and peppered with dirty words. By today's unfortunate standards, this film would have been so much worse if produced by some of Hollywood's more illustrious purveyors of filth, and the body count would have been much higher and more graphic. It is the violence in this film that is explicit. Is there any bad guy in this story Reacher does NOT brutally beat up? He hospitalizes many who make the mistake of annoying him, and we get to hear the crunching of bones and cracking of skulls. Though, to be fair, Reacher gives his opponents plenty of chances to walk away from his fast fists and killer kicks, because Reacher does nothing halfway. Once he engages you, your next ride will be in an ambulance. The PG-13 rating assigned to this movie is accurate, though it violently borders on "R." I suppose if we had seen more blood that would have earned the "R." Bottom line, did I enjoy the movie? Yes. It is suspenseful, has a good soundtrack, and moves quickly as the mystery is engagingly solved. I like Tom Cruise in roles like this, he puts the bad guys in their place. Should you take your children? No. The brutal fighting scenes and the crude language are not appropriate for young kids, though blood is kept to a minimum. There is no "pray for those who persecute you" or "turn the other cheek" philosophy in this film—it is more like "I'm going to BREAK your cheek". Or, as Reacher tells the cruel bad guy over the phone "I'm coming for you, and I'm going to beat you to death." Be warned—that opening shooting scene will disturb the more sensitive among us, as it did me. Point of note: at the end of this movie, the audience actually applauded. I haven't heard that in a long time. Violence: Heavy / Profanity: Moderate / Sex/Nudity: Minor See list of Relevant Issues—questions-and-answers. Comments below:
Positive—This is a violent, but very good, thriller—a cut above others of this genre. I have read most of Lee Child's books about Jack Reacher and went to see just how well Tom Cruise fulfilled the role of a character who is tall and big in the book—a very large man—and Cruise did this very well despite being short. He really captured the loner, super bright personality of Jack Reacher. This movie is fast entertainment, and it does not glorify breaking the law, although Reacher does step outside the law when he is unjustly accused and when he, and he alone, is in the position to mete out justice.
Obviously this R rated movie is for mature audiences only. I read the book on which this movie is based, and the screenplay did a fine job of bringing the story to the screen. Moral rating: Extremely Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 4½ —Halyna Barannik, age 66 (USA) Positive—This was MUCH better then I expected. It was kind of like a CSI crime story (and I don't even watch those shows) and more talking then I would have expected, but the plot was so interesting and had so many things to it, with action in between, that it kept my attention. Sure, lots of killing, fighting and gunfire, something that is expected with these type of movies, but I don't recall much cursing, at all; only one butt shot of a woman standing up after they obviously just did it, but no sex scenes. And the movie actually had some really funny one liners.
I didn't know if Tom could pull off a movie like this, but he did great in the acting, and, overall, it was a very good movie for its kind. Certainly not a Christian flick, nor do I expect these kinds to be, but very entertaining and interesting. Moral rating: Average / Moviemaking quality: 5 —Samantha, age 38 (USA) Positive—I have been watching Tom Cruise movies ever since I saw him in the film "Valkyrie." For the most part, I have enjoyed the films he has been in (including "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol"). I treated my dad to a film he really wanted to see and, I must admit, one that I knew little about. So we went to see "Jack Reacher." Tom Cruise did a fine job in his portrayal of the Jack Reacher from the books (apparently there are 14 books… I believe I smell sequels in the future). Cinematically, there is nothing wrong with this film. The picture quality was phenomenal. The performances by both leads were excellent.
The story? It's hard to say. The whole premise behind why the "bad guys" did what they did was a little tough to determine, and I asked my father to explain some of the missing information. Other than that though? I enjoyed it. Virtually no sex or nudity, other than one scene of partial nudity at the beginning (no more than 5 seconds at most) and a scene where a girl, Sandy, gets in a conversation with Reacher, and Reacher calls her some filthy names. Profanity? Non-existent. Violence? VERY heavy, so parents this is not a children's film (heed the PG-13 rating, as the violence is very realistic). Bottom line? I enjoyed the movie. Tom Cruise is certainly an actor I have enjoyed watching for the past few years. He doesn't need to work hard to put in a good performance and for that I commend him. The movie itself gets an "A" from me. Moral rating: Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 4 —Alexander Malsan, age 22 (USA) Positive—Reacher. Jack Reacher. No middle name. I've read about four of the Reacher books, and to be honest—I like some of the changes that they made for the film. But they still kept much of Reacher's common sense attitude and deduction ability, while making him a bit darker and edgier, which I quite enjoyed.
The movie style is a bit different than what I'm used to. Sort of a more down to earth, less special effects and drama style. The plot is pretty simple, and goes well with our times. A man commits a mass murder, of seemingly random people, slam dunk evidence against him, he acted alone… sound familiar? Reacher isn't a perfect man, by any means, but he is a *real* man. He calmly takes on five guys (Well, according to Reacher, it was only three on one) and refrains from hurting them anymore than needed, as well as verbally putting his attackers in their places. He also gives a brief monologue that many people in our nation could do with listening to. "Look out there, at those people in their cubicles. How many are actually free? Free from debt, free from being degraded, free from fear. How many of them would, if they had the chance, choose to live like me?" (Reacher's a bit of a drifter, who lives a minimalist lifestyle on his army pension.) He's got a good point. Beware—Reacher is a violent man, while he is a just man. Like any good action movie, he goes up against murderous villains, and calmly executes one, rather than let him try his luck beating justice in court. Most of my fellow Christians hate when people do that in movies. I'd say, why? Scripture is clear that murderers forfeit their own lives. It doesn't guarantee them the right to try to use trial procedures and rules of evidence to get out of it. All in all, a good movie, though not for viewers under 17. Moral rating: Better than Average / Moviemaking quality: 4 —Andrew, age 21 (USA) Neutral
Neutral—While this movie spent significant effort at developing a plot, supporting most of the characters and delivering a satisfactory ending, it was not without its deficiencies. I felt a bit empty and wanting at the end, and wasn't quite sure all the directive effort was worth the result. It was one of Tom Cruise's middle of the road movies. On a moral and spiritual aspect, I felt a bit unclean and overly stimulated with overt killing and violence. This is not a movie for kids, at all. I would not take my teenager for any reason. I would suggest that adults seriously consider whether it is worth the mental exposure. Cussing was typical for this kind of movie. I did not find it gratuitous. There were a couple of unnecessary scenes of scantily clad women, although this was not the focus of the movie.
If you go, don't expect it to be a good date movie. If you are troubled by the recent events of the massacre of children at the hands of a gun wielding maniac, you may find some scenes to be harsh reminders of death in the midst of the innocents. Personally, I walked out a bit nauseous and relieved it was over. In all, I would say avoid it. Moral rating: Very Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 4 —Eric B, age 47 (USA) Neutral—I was hesitant to see this film with my two 14 year old boys before reading a review first, but since there wasn't one yet for this movie, we decided to risk it. Therefore, I feel I need to warn parents that this is a very violent film and only older teenagers should view this. The bad parts: There are several utterances of the word s*** (last letter "t") and one "f*** you." In the beginning, a girl is seen briefly from behind in her thong underwear. It is a movie about a sniper being accused of murder, so there are lots of people killed and/or beaten.
The good parts: Jack Reacher is an intense yet humorous guy who doesn't miss a step. He encourages a girl who lets herself be used by men, that she could do better. No sex. :) Overall, it was an exciting movie—a mystery that was unraveled bit by bit. I just personally didn't enjoy all of the killing, but it was well played by the actors/actresses. Moral rating: Better than Average / Moviemaking quality: 5 —Melinda, age 46 (USA) Negative
Negative—Phillipians 4:8—"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Not only does this movie not fall into any of these categories, it begs to be the champion of the vehicle to guarantee your mind will be dulled to ungodly kinds of thinking. I walked out disgusted and felt wounded for several days after when I found myself replaying the disturbing scenes that are described below. I stayed through the end of this film only to write this review, as it seemed another viewpoint was needed as to the depravity of this foray into the edginess that is so typically Hollywood. The acting in the film was good, and I would go deeper into the characters and plot, except for 2 issues that puts this movie into the "Extremely Offensive" category.
***SPOILER*** The first issue is the mass murder scene. This is a drawn out and dreary, ungodly couple of minutes where you look down the scope of the assassin's rifle, as he first scans then picks out his victims. I was hoping the camera would not show the close-up of each senseless killing, but apparently the director judged that this edginess would be a wonderful foray into the horror of what the unregenerate soul can dream up and then portray on a screen, in the name of art. Even sadder is that many parents would take their children to witness this horror and have it forever make it's mark in their souls that "this is entertainment". As we left the theater at the end, I saw a young girl about 8 years old who was with her family and felt sad for her. There is no arguing that films MUST go beyond the boundary of what a culture will tolerate in order to entertain, precisely because we become bored with the thrills of a few years ago. The proof that it works is that Christians would deem this graphic and detailed close-up of murder as justified, because it is part of real life or because it isn't real. Quite telling. This was one part of the movie, I lowered my head and chose not to watch as the loud report of the high powered rifle accompanied the slouching body of the next victim, one after another, until the scene was over. The other scene that was pitifully unnecessary and hit me in the gut like a javelin meant to rip my guts out, was the murder of a young woman. After this poor 20 something year old is slugged with one punch that knocks her out, the dastardly violent man puts a single hand on her face, the camera zooms in, and he smothers her to death like a lion killing its prey. It was not only sickening, because of the graphic nature of the scene, but because, again, that in searching for the new edges in film making, this means future movies will push the boundary only further. ***END SPOILER*** I won't go into the amount of violence that are spread around in this film, like it were sweet jam being generously spread on slice after slice of warm, freshly baked bread to feed the audience, hopefully the main reviewer will cover that. This level of depravity is something a believer should not care to become immune or desensitized to, because this is not true, noble, pure or something worthy of praise, this is scraping the dregs of a cesspool. I have decided, after this film, to stay away from the movies and probably only rent them when they are released on DVD, so that I can research them, and then, if necessary, turn a movie off at home, if it goes near the edge. Ask yourself, then ask God, is this desire to be entertained going to trump his desire to make you into a discerning child of his, who seeks knowing what is praiseworthy. Jesus died for your ability to discern by his spirit. Moral rating: Extremely Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 3½ —Robert Maclean, age 63 (USA) Negative—I cannot help but to think as popular and easy as it is for Tom Cruise to attract viewers, I was puzzled why he felt it necessary to do this movie. Right out of the movie intro, I was immediately tossed into an adulterous scene with him with a women that he is not married to in a cheap motel with her in very revealing lingerie. The rest of the movie did not get any better, with several scenes wear there is cleavage and short skirts. If you realize that your eyes and heart belongs to God, you will not want to expose either to this movie.
Moral rating: Extremely Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 3 —Angel, age 37 (USA) Comments from young people
Negative—First of all, this movie was so cheesy. He acted like he had rock hard abs. But really his stomach looked like it was bloated, and you could totally tell he was sucking it in. And the woman was showing cleavage, the lines were cheesy. Tom Cruise short and full of himself and disturbing. Plus the woman was liberal. The script seemed to be made just to puff up his ego. The only good thing about this movie wad that it was stupidly funny.
Moral rating: Very Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 3 —Monica, age 16 (USA) Sorry, no other viewer comments received yet. If you have seen this movie and would like to share your observations and insights with others to be posted here, please contact us! |

Advisor Name Title Prof J B J van Ryssen Keywords
- no key words available
Date 2004-06-14 Availability unrestricted Abstract The influence supplementing the micro-elements selenium, zinc and copper during drought feeding on ewe lambs has been studied. Certain parameters of the immune-system were studied at different times during the trial. The accumulation of the elements in the different tissues was investigated with specific emphasis on the accumulation of selenium in blood and plasma. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, 60 and 90 to determine the peculiar way in which the selenium levels rise in the whole blood and plasma.Sodium selenite was used as source for selenium, zinc oxide as source of zinc and copper sulphate as source of copper. These three groups of chemical compounds were dosed to two groups of S. A. Mutton Merino lambs (two times a day). A third group of sheep was given only the basic diet which consisted of Smutsvinger hay. Salt and water were given ad lib to all three groups.
The supplemented groups (groups 1 and 2) received 1.6 or 3.2 mg selenium/animal/day, 48.1 or 96.2 mg zinc/animal/day and 5 or 10 mg copper/animal/day, respectively.
The two supplemented groups showed a tendency to heavier body weights than the control group, but the differences were not significant (P > 0.05). This could mean that the supplemented groups were healthier than the control group. The creatine phosphokinase (CK) and aspartate transaminase (AST) activities were significantly lower in the supplemented groups than in the control group (CK, P < 0.01 and AST, P < 0.05). This could mean the muscle cell membranes in the supplemented groups were better protected against degradation.
There were a tendency for higher primary antibody production against bovine erythrocytes in supplemented groups than in the control group, but with no significant differences (P > 0.05).
The selenium levels in tissues and blood (whole blood an plasma) were significantly higher in the supplemented groups than in the control group (P < 0.05). The selenium accumulation in the liver was exceptionally high, even higher than the selenium concentration in the kidneys, which is difficult to explain.
Copper levels were significantly higher in group 2 than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found between the groups when superoxide dismutase activities were studied (P > 0.05).
The conclusion could be drawn that it is necessary to supplement micro-elements which will contribute to the antioxidant status of the animal especially in times of food scarcity and elevated stress in the animals. The supplementation will have a positive economical influence on the production (growth, health and reproduction) of the animal.

The Scoop on Summer Pregnancy Issues
Regardless of where you live, summertime and pregnancy aren't a great match. The increased sunlight, humidity, and heat can aggravate normal pregnancy changes, such as fluid retention, skin discoloration, and fatigue. It can also increase your risk of dehydration. Here's what you need to know to keep cool this summer.

I have a very specific problem with my tomato plants and it has affected virtually all of them. This is a problem that I have every year and cannot find any info on the topic.
After having a nice couple months of growth and my first batch of tomatoes I start to see tiny, uniform, pinhole sized black spots on the leaves and sometimes the stems of my plants. They eventually curl up and die. This is absolutely not a fungus but is instead caused by a bug. I have no idea what this bug is and cannot find any information on it. But is is insidious and very hard to control. Organic soap spray does not seem to control them. The bugs are not aphids, I know the difference. They are about a millimeter or so long. They have wings, although they don't fly very much. They tend to hang out on the underside of the leaves, but will scurry to the top if I try to kill them. I can smash them pretty easily between my fingers, but after smashing 50 of them for 15 minutes spent on one plant, I can always still spot more. They are everywhere. Wherever they are on the plant I find these tiny black spots on the leaves and some of the young branches. They aren't solitary, but they don't really congregate all together either. They seem to give each other space. They are grayish in color, kind of like gnats. I hate these bugs, they make me want to pull my hair out. I cannot seem to get rid of them. They attack all of my tomato plants, regardless of age or type. They do not attack any of my other plants, peppers, squash, herbs and spices, etc. No one seems to know what these are, which blows my mind, because they are the nastiest pests I have ever faced and I've been dealing with them for 5 years. I may just give up on tomatoes altogether if I can't figure this out. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, I have no clue what the bug is. If you could get a pic. That would be great. I do suggest re-posting what you wrote over on the Tomato forum since this one does not get a lot of traffic. Some one there might have an idea. If no one does there, you could visit another site, tomato ville dot com. (GW does not allow writing their name out properly.) Remy |

I have a good selection of trees that don't mind a high water table (Metasequoia, Taxodium, Acer rubrum, A platanoides, but I have one spot left. And it allows for a massive tree. I'm open to conifers or deciduous, catch is I want something that gets really big and is either evergreen and stately or something with the best call color possible. And grows huge if possible. Kind of prefer a non maple. I've considered Oxydendron but it's just way too slow. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

I think Liriodendron tulipifera fits. It grows commonly near or even right against bodies of water, so should do OK with a high water table. It is fast growing, not a maple, and by all accounts, huge. Fall color is often a strong golden yellow, which will add to the reds of your Acer rubrum and the russets/orange of the Metasequoia and Taxodium. |

I'd want a better explanation of "high water table" before I was comfy with Liriodendron. While it likes moist soils, won't tolerate much actual wet, so if any periods of standing water or actual flooding, not a great choice. Another alternative is Nyssa sylvatica. Will tolerate wet soils and even periods of flooding without issue. Nice tree for wildlife attraction as well. |
I have found pin oaks don't mind growing in wet areas of my yard. |
Sycamores and tupelo are common trees in wet areas. And if the ground is constantly flooded, trees like pecan and black walnut are often river bottom species that survive flooding. |
Swamp white oak maybe? Richard. |
- Posted by viburnumvalley z5/6 KY (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 16:51
Nyssa sylvatica Quercus bicolor Quercus michauxii Populus deltoides Betula nigra |
Wingnut trees do also like water, grow fast and gets large. |
I suspect "high water table" could means something very different depending on whether the soil is clay or sand, open or compacted. |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 19:45
Nyssa aquatica and.....what is the weeping willow. Concerning Liriondendron tulipfera, maybe if you pick the right tree and the right spot you can get a good yellow fall color also. My neighbor has one which is better than most. Some oaks will tolerate down right flooding during the right season in southern missouri and illinois. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 19:50
Nuttall oak is another one to consider. |
Quercus michauxii Cow Oak Quercus texana Nuttall Oak Quercus alba White Oak I know you already have at least species, but if only species then Metasequoia 'Ogon'. Arktrees |
I'd have a sycamore in a heartbeat. They grow in ancient groves down along our canals on the river bank. Needless to say, they've tolerated their fair share of floods. Fall does not present a great show but their stature and bark are breathtaking. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 23:23
I'd second the sycamore. If your area gets anthracnose regularly on sycamores, I think the anthracnose-resistant London Plane cultivars are also tolerant of flooding, but maybe slightly less so. |
Quercus Bicolor and Sycamore, already mentioned but I think would get large and impressive more so in my opinion. I have the London Plane, but Sycamore has nicer adult bark, the contrast of white and tan/ brown, in the winter you can see these trees from a distance away, through wooded areas. |
- Posted by fireweed22 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 13:43
Jeez, thought I had responded, thanks for all the great ideas! Plenty to work with here. Wishing there was a the blue Metasequoia, as I have several of the others incl Ogon. Thanks again! |
Let us know which one you decide to plant. I do want to commend you for not only considering, but desiring to plant one of those grand and majestic trees our children and their children's children will admire. The very large trees are not planted enough. It makes me cringe to see McMansions with tiny, little space saving trees as landscaping and you can say the same thing about those houses on five acre lots. The grand, old giants keep the scale and perspective in line. |
Q.lyrata, overcup oak - would also fit the bill, though fall color is not much to shout about. But, I've seen it's hybrid offspring, Compton oak (Q.lyrataXvirginiana) exhibit good red fall color - which wouldn't necessarily be expected, based on its ancestry. Won't be huge... but ornamental in multiple seasons...Carpinus caroliniana is nice, and was everywhere throughout the creekbottom swamp forest in my boyhood home. |

the one I used in this summer tee. The lace patterning
happens every other row and the stitch and row repeats
are easy to memorize. Lavina is worked in the round

gave it fun "sleeves" by adding a few stitches in a 1x1
rib pattern along each armhole.

Environmental Task Forces
Each year, coalitions around the country create local task forces with the goal of improving pedestrian conditions for children by making long-term environmental improvements.
In 2010, Safe Kids updated the Environmental Task Force initiative and partnered with the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC) to provide expert trainers to conduct a two-day pedestrian safety workshop in the local communities of the grantees in order to prepare them to administer their newly awarded grants.
Projects are comprehensive in approach, involving engineering, education and enforcement solutions. Once implemented, HSRC staff evaluates the projects to assess their impact on reducing crashes involving child pedestrians.
Examples of environmental improvements that coalitions are completing include:
- Adding a curb to a school entrance.
- Installing pedestrian safety lights and countdown timers.
- Adding crossing signs.
- Installing high-visibility crosswalks and flashing lights.
- Adding solar-powered flashing school zone and speed limit signs.
- Replacing and retrofitting signal heads.

Hi, my name is Michiah.
Where did you volunteer and what did you do?
In 2007, I signed up as a participant for the first university project. Our group spent six weeks building a care centre in Swaziland in a community with one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in the world. The experience was tremendously rewarding and was such a source of personal growth that I applied to become a team leader when I returned home. The next year, I went back to Swaziland with a team of my own to complete a similar project. The experience as a team leader was challenging and rewarding, and I took particular satistfaction from providing the best possible experience to my participants. The following year, I led another trip to Peru and also joined DWC's president, Wayne McRann, for an exploratory trip to Haiti. Finally, in 2010, I led trips to both Kenya and Nepal.
What impact did volunteering abroad have on your life?
My work with Developing World Connections was one of the most valuable experiences for me both personally and professionally. DWC provided me with extraordinary opportunities to grow and expand my skills and leadership. I was constantly challenged and always given the space to push further. DWC is an organization that recognizes commitment and allows each volunteer to make the best of their experience. I deeply appreciate the opportunities and trust that I was given and know that I would not have accomplished so with any other organization.
Why should someone become a team leader?
Becoming a team leader with DWC provides young people with an unparalleled opportunity to develop leadership skills that are highly sought after in the professional world. My work with Developing World Connections significantly contributed to me being hired by the 2008 Obama for America campaign and later by the David Suzuki Foundation. Being a team leader with DWC is a life-changing personal experience and an absolutely outstanding professional opportunity!
Michiah Prull works for the David Suzuki Foundation, managing a community leaders program to empower supporters to work on local projects. In 2008, he managed a field office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the United States democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama. Michiah has been voted a Top 25 Environmentalist Under 25.

Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a good reliable catalog for these type of seeds. What's your recommendation? Thanks Flo |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try Seed Savers' Exchange, Select Seeds, Seeds of Change. There are three, all with websites. I like all of them. Lisa |
I like Bakers Creek seeds. Just ordered from them the first time last month and was pleased with their service. |

I can't recommend Bakers Creek. They ship their seeds with not one scrap of planting or harvesting information. I had to guess as to when and how deep to plant some of the more "exotic" varieties. Next year I'll try one of the other heirloom seed catalogues. |
Try Sandhill Preservation Center. Below is a link to their site. They are a family run 'hobby business.' But they have an outstanding selection. George |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sandhill Preservation Center
I will add a few... Johnny's Selected Seeds & Territorial Seeds, while they also sell hybrids, carry quite a few heirlooms, and both also have their own excellent open-pollinated varieties from their in-house breeding programs. Bountiful Gardens has a good selection, generous seed portions, and very informative info for each variety. Also a very good selection of OG publications. For peppers, try Redwood City Seed Co. Since you are in zone 7, I have to respectfully disagree with the above, and highly recommend Baker Creek (sorry Jay). While it is true that little info comes with the seed pack, they have a detailed planting guide on their website, plus their own forums. They also simply have the _best_ selection of cowpeas, melons, squash, eggplant, and many Asian heirlooms, all acclimated to Southern climate. For more varieties acclimated to the South, try Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They also have many seed saving supplies, should you find yourself headed in that direction. All of the above have websites, and all except Southern Exposure have free catalogs (last I checked). Southern Exposure will download a .pdf version of their catalog for free. If you can't find something anywhere else, I would be remiss if I did not mention contacting a Seed Savers Exchange _member_, who has access to many varieties not listed in SSE's catalog. I am one of them. (shameless self promotion) ;-) |

"This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It's a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work."
Serving Size: 1 (307 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"My family loves this soup. There are a few things I done different that made it taste richer. Instead of cooking the potatoes on the stove top, (I think this maks them watery) I baked them in the microwave with the skin on. I let them cool down and then peel them and cut them into chuncks. They stay together much better, and they have a much better taste to them. If you are using red potatoes, which I prefer, leave the skin on them. I also saute my onions and garlic in a pan with butter really slow so they don't brown. I put the chicken broth in the pot first, then the onions and butter. I let the cream cheese get to room temp, and then use my wire strainer to mash the cream cheese through it with the back of a spoon. It dissolves much easier. After the soup comes to a slow boil, I add the potatoes and turn in down on simmer for a while. When I serve it, I put crispy bacon cumbles on top along with cheddar cheese and green onions. I also think it is good with a dollop of sour cream. Bake a pan of corn bread, and you have the most delicious meal you could ever eat. I use one cream cheese to one carton of chicken broth. I have to double or triple this recipe......Yuuuuuum"
"If sweet little baby Jesus floated down from a cloud and handed you a bowl of soup, this would be it.
This soup was so good that I created a username just to review and comment on it. I made the soup exactly as written. Even after adding the cream cheese I was still skeptical that it would come out okay (it's kind of ugly looking until the last minute). But after whisking in the cream cheese and letting it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes it was obvious that this was one HELL of a soup.
Add an additional russet potato or two if you prefer a heartier soup, but I thought that the texture was velvety and wonderful as is."
"Thank you for posting this recipe. My boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer and had half of his tongue surgically removed last July. He finished chemo and radiation 4 months ago. This is the first thing he was able to eat with ease and enjoy at the same time."
"This was delicious! This is a definite keeper. Here are a couple things that I did a little differently, preparation-wise. To avoid the possibility of the cream cheese curdling (as some have said), I put my cream cheese in the blender in fourths, added some of the broth and blended to perfection. I also put a whole onion in the food processor before adding it to the soup. My kids are funny about seeing big chunks of onion in ANYTHING, so this was a great way to hide the onion and still get the great flavor. I also doubled the recipe. Simply delish!!!"
"I had a block of cream cheese that was near expiry and I was looking for a meal to use it up on. I'm so glad I found this recipe!!! I'll never make potato soup another way again!! It was thick and creamy, very flavorful with plenty of potatoes. And it smells out of this world! I made a few modifications. I didn't peel the potatoes. I sauteed the onions in butter & olive oil, then added 2 cloves of garlic, a pinch of red pepper flakes and the potatoes and let them cook for a few minutes before adding the broth. I used 4 cups of water and 4 bullion cubes. Finally, I threw in about 2 tbsp of dried chives. Quick, easy and AMAZING -- thank you Shawn!!"
"Having worked at St. Louis Bread Co. when they served this soup, there are two things you're missing from the soup. One ingredient that was key to the taste is dill weed. Also, they had some very tiny pieces of chicken in it to make it a little richer. Still, this is a good recipe."
"This is a wonderfully comforting and creamy soup. I used red skinned potatoes and left the skins on. I diced them somewhat small and roasted them in the oven with some fresh rosemary and thyme, salt and pepper and olive oil. When they were fork tender, I smashed some of them.I sauteed the onion and garlic in a bit of butter and bacon grease, then made as directed adding the potatoes with the cream cheese. I topped each serving with shredded sharp cheddar, green onions, sour cream and crumbled bacon."
"Just made this tonight... It was really good - I HAD to add bacon though. Fried up 4 thick slices of bacon then sauteed the onions in the bacon grease before adding to give the soup some more flavor. Put 1/2 the crumbled bacon in the soup then used the rest as garnish. Added green onions and cheese as garnish too. I didn't think the cream cheese was 'too much' as some noted, but then again, I like cream cheese... alot! DH even thought it was pretty good and he's not a fan of potatoes OR soup!"
"I was influenced to make a potato soup while watching Kitchen Nightmares. The show was about a restaurant specializing in potatoes. Anyway, I gave this a try and it was great. I didn't change any of the recipe but wanted a texture that was smooth. I used my stick blender and it worked out great. The recipe is not only tasty by itself; but I can see it used as a base for a corn or clam chowder. I would add either canned corn and blend or add clams after all other ingredients were blended leaving the clams whole. Thanks for the recipe. It is definately a keeper."
"I just created an account so I could review this soup. This is the best soup I've ever made. I agree with 'learningtogether' that I was in doubt it would come out OK (it does look strange). This soup is fabulous exactly as it is. As a leftover I added a bit of sharp cheddar and crumbled bacon - that put the taste over the top. I'm already planning to make it again."
"Uhm...WOW! This was great! I've made it twice in one week and it's been perfect both times. I did saute my onions prior to adding the other ingredients...other than that I followed directions 100%. Both times, I've intended to try adding cheese or green onions, but I've not been able to hold digging in long enough to do that. It's just too yummy as is."
"Such a great recipe! It's wonderful just as written. I read reviews after I had made the soup and learned a lot of great additions or alternate techniques to complement this recipe. Will definetly make this one again... and again... and again!
For novice cooks- do not cut your potatoes ahead of time because they will get brown and gross!"
"Wow, this soup is fantastic and really hits the spot on a cold fall (almost winter) night. I made 1.5x everything except the cream cheese (for which I just used an 8-oz block of neufchatel cheese) and added a chopped carrot, chopped celery, and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic. Tossed everything (except the cream cheese) into the slowcooker on low for 6 hours and stirred in the cream cheese before blending everything. I might never look for another potato soup recipe again..."
"This is awesomeness in a bowl. Pretty easy to make and cheap, too. I cheated a bit and used red potatoes, left the skin on, and diced them in one of those vandalia onion chopper things. The skin gave it character, more of a distinct potato flavor. I also minced up a whole shallot and put it in(on a double recipe). I also sprinkled in some flour to thicken it up. Gonna try it with bacon tomorrow, should be even better because bacon is the candy of meats."
"i've made this a couple times now and it's so easy and tasty. i use light herb and garlic cream cheese and throw in some dill, garlic, and a handful of bacon bits. sometime i have to try topping it with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar like a baked potato. this is my new favorite autumn soup."
"Wow! Awesome! Some reviewers were right...it looks kind of icky right before its ready...I did use a stick blender bec we like it smooth. This I did immediately after adding the cream cheese. I served it like a loaded potato bar with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and freshly shredded cheddar cheese."
"Wow this recipe is perfect! Followed the directions exactly as written and I have to admit I didn't expect it to turn out so good.I haven't had much luck with potato soup recipes in the the past,I have always found them to be bland and disappointing.This was creamy, flavorful and comforting on a chilly day.Hubby adored this soup and I have a feeling it will be requested quite often:) Thanks Shawn H for a winner!"
"I also created an account to post a review!
I used white potatos for this soup & doubled the recipe. I took some potatos out & blended them to thicken up the soup, but this didn't work. Then I took out a bit of the liquid & added flour-2 different times-, still wouldn't thicken up. The soup also tasted quite bland. I ended up adding a bit more season salt(to taste) & also added a cup of shredded parmesan, asiago & romano cheese. The cheese made the difference!! Tastes just like a restaurant made it!"
"I wasn't really impressed with this recipe. I found that the cream cheese was very over powering and not very pleasant. I added bacon and garlic to give it some flavor, but finally gave up. It did taste better the next day, but I don't think that I would make it again."
"Amazing!!! My whole family loved it and I dont even really like soup. I did double the potatoes to 8 cups so our soup was nice and thick. I added a little sour cream and garlic powder then some sprinkles of bacon bits! MMMMMMMM!! We all kept going back for more, thanks for posting"

@Scrbblechick: It all depends on the kind of cancer, location, staging, etc. Some people have cases where chemotherapy is most effective, while others have a type of cancer that responds best to radiation. My mom just had surgery and chemo when she had breast cancer. Her oncologist didn't even discuss radiation. Maybe because her tumor was pretty small and had very clear borders. She also had the most common (and treatable) form of breast cancer –Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, so that may have played a role, also.
Chemo was certainly effective for her. She will celebrate 25 years cancer free this year!
