How Do I Prepare My Case?
In order for the Judge to decide in your favor, you must be able to
that the Defendant owes you a certain amount of money. This proof can be sworn testimony in court, or the sworn testimony of witnesses who will testify that what you are saying is true. For example, a friend may have seen your neighbor drive his car over your bicycle. Proof can also be physical objects, such as a contract, lease, receipts, bills for repairs, photographs, or cancelled checks. For example, if you are suing a dry cleaning store because they ruined your dress, bring the dress with you to court. You should bring with you
that you have that will help you prove to the Judge that your story is true.
If there is someone who would be a good witness for you, but he refused to come with you to court, you can request the Circuit Clerk to issue a Subpoena.
A Subpoena is a legal document ordering a person to appear in court at a certain time and place. This Subpoena must be served on the witness, and you will have to pay an additional service fee and a small witness fee. Once the Subpoena is served, the witness must appear in court. These fees are another court cost which the Defendant will have to pay if you win your case.
It is a good idea to practice ahead of time what you are going to the Judge. You should also write out all the questions that you want to ask your witness in court. Another good idea is to get to court a little early so that you can watch how other cases are handled by the Judge. This will put you more at ease since you will know what to expect when your turn comes.

13th Arrondissement
Café Charlot
Paris, 75003, France
A go-to bistro for the trendy locals of Marais, Café Charlot is housed in a former bakery across from the Marche des Enfants Rouge—literally the "Market of Red Children," the oldest food market in Paris. The café is designed in a 1950's retro style, with a salvaged zinc bar, white tiled walls, frosted mirrors, and simple globe lights. There's also an outdoor patio beneath a large white awning. Charlot is a popular brunch spot, serving pain perdu (French toast) and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. For lunch or a late night dinner, opt for the cheeseburger with crisp frites.
Insider Tip:
If you're just stopping by for a coffee and croissant, order at the bar; it will cost you half as much than it would at a table.

Don't Count Out the 2012-2013 New Jersey Devils.
As a fan, I want articles about the Devils to have enthusiasm and passion. Lately, that doesn't seem to be the case. I've read many "preview" articles about this season that have already written the Devils off. They read something like this…"I wouldn't be surprised if the Devils didn't make the playoffs." This pessimism, as well as excuses for the disaster they predict is shameful. Perhaps it's a case of setting the bar low so no one will be disappointed, but I believe that we should be expecting more from this Devils team. With good reason.
SCF Game 5 Recap: Devils' win ends Kings road dominance
3rd star: Justin Williams (Goal)
2nd star: Bryce Salvador (Game-winning goal)
1st star: Martin Brodeur (25 saves)
The recipe for success in the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals has been pretty simple for both teams: score the first goal, win face-offs and out-hit the opposition. That's easier said than done, of course. For the second straight game, the Devils were able to accomplish all three of those things en route to their second win of the series. They're back in it now, though still down 3-2 to the Kings. The Devils' 2-1 victory in Game 5 makes them just the third team in the history of best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals series to win at least two games after trailing, 3-0.
Pete DeBoer was hoping that his team would get off to a good start in Game 5, but that wasn't the case early in the first period. Instead, it was the Kings who controlled play and had a majority of scoring chances early on. The game started off at an incredible pace, and the visitors nearly took a lead. After a turnover by Dainius Zubrus in his own zone, Justin Williams hit the post behind Martin Brodeur and Stephen Gionta's diving effort broke up a chance for Slava Voynov. That's when Willie Mitchell was sent off for a questionable penalty call, and the Devils went on a power play.
They nearly scored on a tic-tac-toe designed play, as Zach Parise fed Travis Zajac in the slot. Zajac's shot trickled through Jonathan Quick, but sat on the goal line before the Kings cleared the crease. Parise then missed a pass directed at Patrik Elias, but Jonathan Quick, who tried to get the puck to his defenseman, but turned it over to Parise, and the Devils' captain stuffed it past Quick for a 1-0 lead. The goal seemed to spark the Devils, as their overall play elevated after the goal was scored.
The Devils played a better second period, as they started to control the puck for longer periods of time. However, early in the second period, Williams split the Devils' defense and wristed a hard shot from the slot stick-side on Brodeur to tie the game. Williams nearly scored again on the ensuing Kings' power play, but Brodeur warmed to the task. Halfway through the period, the Devils got back on top. Alexei Ponikarovsky skated up to the right point, and fed Bryce Salvador on the left side. Salvador hesitated, then released a long wrist shot, that re-directed off Voynov's body, through David Clarkson's screen and past Quick, who overplayd the shot. The Devils took a 2-1 lead and held off another Kings' power play to close out the period, as well as a Jarret Stoll attempt that was tipped into the net with a high-stick, therefore washed out.
Los Angeles picked up their game in the third period, and Brodeur played his best as well. The Devils did some good things, as they played well in their own end and eventually got some strong forechecking from Gionta's line and Zajac's line. Most importantly, they kept the Kings off the scoreboard. Alec Martinez had a chance on a rebound that got a piece of the goal post early in the third period. Momentum shifted a bit when Dustin Brown held Henrik Tallinder's hockey stick, putting the Devils on a power play. They didn't score, in fact the Kings nearly did, but Marek Zidlicky eliminated Mike Richards to negate the scoring chance, and then Quick made a strong glove save on Ilya Kovalchuk at the other end.
Late in the third period, Dustin Penner and Ponikarovsky went off for coincidental roughing minors in the Kings' zone, so the Kings had a chance to tie the game, 4-on-4 and then once they pulled Quick, a 5-on-4 advantage. They came close, but the Devils survived and took Game 5 by a 2-1 score.
Brodeur's strong play consisted of much of the talk from the Devils' perspective after the game. In every series, there's always at least one game that the goaltender needs to steal. Perhaps Game 5 was that game for Brodeur and his Devils. DeBoer acknowledged that the first period especially wasn't how the Devils wanted to play, but they got the job done and won the game.
Bryce Salvador's offensive emergence in the playoffs continues, as he scored his fourth goal of the playoffs after not scoring at all in the regular season. Salvador is tied with Drew Doughty (yes, that Drew Doughty) as the highest-scoring defenseman in the playoffs this year. Alexei Ponikarovsky has also come up big for the Devils. He set up Salvador's eventual game-winning goal, making it the fifth point on a game-winning goal for Ponikarovsky this postseason. Henrik Tallinder also recorded nearly 20 minutes of ice time in his second game back from his blood clot.
Stanley Cup Finals Game 3: NJ Devils at LA Kings
Stanley Cup Playoffs – Round 4
New Jersey Devils (12-8) at Los Angeles Kings (14-2)
TV: NBC Sports Network
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
The first two games of the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals haven't gone the Devils' way. That isn't something that an expert analyst has to tell you. The Devils dropped Games 1 and 2 at home, both by identical 2-1 overtime finals, with Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter scoring goals in the extra period for the Kings. If you look at the 2-0 series deficit that the Devils now face and the seemingly insurmountable task of defeating the Kings four out of five times to win the Stanley Cup, especially considering the Kings' 14-2 record in the playoffs, there's little reason for optimism, but in fact, there is much more reason to believe than those numbers might dictate. If you're in the mood for an optimistic view on the series, read on. If you don't feel like being optimistic, you probably shouldn't read on.

anyone have experience adding a hose fiting to a steel deck for clean out purposes? I've got a lovely snapper mulcher and I think adding a hoase fitting woul simplify cleaning. Not sure where to locate it and whether a specific fitting is any better than any other. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tip the mower with the air filter on the high side and scrape and rinse. You will do a much better job. |
By me, the Deere dealer has kits for under $10. Many are over $20 |
I made my own by welding fittings onto my Wheelhorse deck. It was a hassle dragging out the hose, using it, and the mess it made and I didn't do it long. Probably more of a gimmick than a benefit. |
They should call it a rust promoter and not a deck cleaner. Using water to clean your machine will take years off of it. Use compressed air. |
My original Toro had one built in with a flip cap. Using the hose through that little hole would remove some of the loose grass but not much else. Simply flip the machine on it's side or up from the front and hose away. For the really caked in stuff it will take a putty knife. |
If you use a hose to clean the underside of the deck, run the mower a little after the cleaning - helps dry the water off. I used to do that - now I use my leaf blower. |
I used my hose clean-out the first year I go my new mower and all it did was cake the grass in! Wont use it again thats for sure... |
- Posted by chesapeakebeach (My Page) on Sun, Mar 28, 10 at 8:14
Waste of time and money IMO. A clean-out port won't do as good a job as tipping the mower up and spraying with the hose on a regular basis. If you can't tip the mower, just spray with a hose in front of the right rear wheel while the engine is running and that will do a pretty good job (although you'll still need to scrape with a putty knife at the end of every season). |

When the Jays signed Adam Loewen with the intention of turning him into an outfielder, it was a win-win scenario. Not only did they troll the OrioLOLes in a big way, they acquired a big giant CANCON reclamation project to market. The upside of the player ranks a solid third, especially when we consider the immensity of his task.
Not only is Loewen's story inspiring in and of itself, the maple syrup coursed through his veins, giving him superpowers in the eyes of many Jays fans. After 1000 minor league plate appearances, Loewen got his big league shot in September. After a (charitably) mixed bag of results, the Jays removed Adam Loewen from the 40-man roster today, exposing him to the Rule 5 draft among other indignities.
Update: The Blue Jays have given Loewen his full release. He is now a Minor League free agent.
It seems the public opinion on Adam Loewen is rather divided. Some state he "proved" he can play in the big leagues during his September call-up. Others, myself included, feel he proved he did play in the big leagues and not a lot more.
A player of Adam Loewen's calibre is not a viable Major Leaguer for a developing team like the Toronto Blue Jays. Every at bat given to Adam Loewen comes out of the pocket of a better, higher-ceilinged prospect. That he is Canadian should not obscure his marginal status on the far edges of a Major League roster.
Remember John Hattig? His 2005 cup of coffee was very similar to Loewen's in that he was a mid-twenties journeyman making his first big league splash. Hattig posted very respectable numbers in baseball's silly season, drawing many walks without showing much in the way of power. He was never heard from again.
Hattig was born in Guam, the first-such Big Leaguer to claim the island nation has his homeland. Did that grant the well-travelled third baseman any special amnesty or favor among fans? Nope. Gone and instantly forgotten.
On twitter, many fans seem to wonder why the Jays would waste so much time converting and progressing Loewen through the minors only to expose him and, quite possibly, end his time with the team? Let the value of Adam Loewen's admittedly great story never be understated – it means as much to the Blue Jays brand as it does to fans' attachment to him.
The Jays are doing a great job of growing their brand within Canada, driving up TV ratings and travelling the nation with their marketable core of young players. The Loewen project is a tidy feather for their cap, providing countless column inches this fall as Loewen and Lawrie took on the world with Maple Leaves flying high.
There is no price for that kind of soft-focus exposure but there is a key difference between the two. Brett Lawrie is a major league talent, an impact player who happens to be Canadian. Adam Loewen, unfortunately, looks like quite the opposite. Hard to blame the team, when you think about it. The world is lousy with replacement-level 5th outfielders; there is no harm in grabbing one with a sweet backstory to soften the hearts of even the most cynical among us.

Is anyone growing this? I saw it on Northland Rosariums list. |
Follow-Up Postings:
While I can't speak for Sweet Antike Freelander, I purchased Carmel Antike Freelander from Northland last spring, and love it! The blooms just last and last and don't ball at all for me. If you go no HMF the last three pictures submitted are mine from the same bloom, at different statges of opening. I've actually placed an order from Northland for Spring, Sweet Antike Freelander & Party Dress (although not a Freelander), hoping for similar results with Florist's Roses. There's some blackspot, but its not often that a florists rose does this well in a no-spray garden (at least for me). I'm just dying to find Magma Freelander! Can't say how the rest of the Freelander Series would be in CA in relation to diseases there, but Carmal Antike seems to enjoy the deep south :) Let's hope Sweet Antike does as well! |
I have Sweet Antique Freelander. I barely survived the freeze of 2009-10 that took out half my Freelanders. But the flowers are just amazing..very fragrant ruffly blooms of a slightly lavender pink. my plant is still struggling back after 2 unusual Northwest winters. I know I will love it if and when it gets back to a good blooming size. I think it would probably be AMAZING in your climate! Of the Freelander Series the best for me have been Antique Caramel, and Ice Girl and one of the coral- apricot blend colored ones that wants to be 7' tall no matter how often I prune it, and grow one flower on the tip of each of its branches. RIght now after an ice storm, in late January it is sitting out there with 3 perfect roses blooming away! ITs not Safari, which I lost but one of the others in that color range. |
It is so true that location and environment are everything when it comes to growing roses. In another thread, we were asked to list the five worst roses in our gardens, and Caramel Antike was number 3 on my list. Its blooms were fine, but there were only about six produced a season, and it will not grow. Period. I've had it about three years. Last year, I got Party Dress against my better judgment, and so far it is doing better than CA. However, part of the problem is my fault. Both these rose were ordered from Palatine and grafted on multiflora, which I know does not like alkaline soil, and we have alkaline soil. I should have known better, or ordered own root roses from Northland, I guess. I'm hoping that with the continued adding of amendments to acidify the soil, things will improve. I wanted Kordes roses so much, and I didn't realize at the time that Northland had them. Diane |
Freelanders are roses intended to be grown as commercial cut flowers in zones 6+ outdoor climates and in high hoop houses in cold climates. I am not suprised that they are not doing well in very cold zones or in typical garden settings. We have all of them in the Pacific NW and they did survive the past seasons, but what killed the roses in Pacific NW in 2010 was the long mild fall with an early killer freeze when the plants were not dormant. I trial all the Kordes and I would not choose the Freelanders as roses for my garden. They do not have the disease reistance for my no spray trial and they have an angular upright habit which is not pretty in the garden. Commercial growers grow them for the high production of stems and the lasting quality of the flower. I wish gardeners would not buy the Freelanders - it is not the use they are intended for. Party Dress is not a Freelander, but some commercial growers do grow it as a cut. It should be quite hardy and is a pretty good garden rose. Kordes has all these great varieites which have been tested to perform well in gardens and cold climates with great disease resistance - please grow these roses. Freelanders do not meet the cold hardiness or disease resistance requirements of Kordes garden roses. Instead of Sweet Antinue gorw Beverly a pink HT than has won numerous awards for fragrance. Poseidon is now avaiable and it is a great disease resistant Lavender. Wedding Bells is a great pink with large blooms and reflexed petals. Sunny Sky is a new yellow HT. Grande Amore is a very good disease resistant red HT. The list goes on and more Kordes garden roses will be released in the futre. |

Thanks for the info. about freelander roses. nanadoll I had the same experience with Palatine. The roots hate my soil. Luckily, half were put into 15 gallon cans and these did well. I let them form roots of their own and now they are happy in my soil. The others that went into the ground.. I could not understand why they were declining so fast when they looked very husky as bareroots. Thinking that the location might be bad, I decided to move one and saw it had almost no roots left so I put them all into pots of potting mix+sand+soil and in a few years they bounced back having made roots off the bottoms of the canes.In all cases the giant roots they arrived on were almost completely gone. I would still buy from them but plant only in a container at first. It's better than not having the rose at all. I have to say that some of the rescued ones. that almost died from lack of roots are now some of my healthiest, largest roses |
newroses: I don't remember Caramel Antike being sold as a florist rose. I purchased it because it sounded like it was rose I might like. It is still very much alive. Winter kill is not a problem here. I have never protected a single rose against the cold, and I have never lost one to winter kill, nor have ever had any significant cane damage due to the cold. I never worry about disease resistance here, either, since we don't have black spot. This is a desert. So, I personally think that the multiflora is the problem, since my other Kordes on multiflora have had to overcome a similar problem to a lesser degree, and the Kordes roses on Dr.Huey have not had the lack of growth and bloom problems. |

Thank you kittymoonbeam and Diane for sharing your experiences about alkaline soi. In my pH of 7.7 alkaline soil with limestones, own-roots struggle and are not as vigorous as grafted on Dr. Huey. The own-root Easy Elegance rose developed in Minnesota declined to 1/10 of its original size, and doesn't bloom here. When that rose was in an acidic potting soil at HomeDepo, it was loaded with blooms. I will dig it from the ground, and put in a pot with MiracleGro potting soil. Thanks, Kitty, for that idea. |
Caramel Antique was one of the earliest Freelander roses as a commercial cut. It is a decent garden rose and is proved to be fairly hardy in cold climates. Kordes has better choices than Antique Caramel for cut flower production with longer vase life and better stem production. I don't like its tall lanky habit in the garden setting but others seem to tolerate it. Disease resistance is average for a Kordes rose. Multi-flora is a very good root stock for colder climates. I agree that in California or desert climates Dr. Huey is better and on alkalline soils it is certainly a better choice. We use multiflora because we can seed propagate it thus avoiding any potential for virus transmission in our mother block plants. It is a pain in that it can sucker and we have to clean it up. I have a prefernce for own root plants when the variety performs well on its own roots - not all do. I have never produced Freelander as own root plants so I have no advice on that. A 7.7 pH is a very alkaline soil and I don't doubt that roses have a hard time flowering and growing in this soil. Have you considered acidifying the soil when planting. I am sure the local Extension office could make a good recommendation on what to add. |
I have acidified all my roses on multiflora,and all are doing pretty well, but Caramel Antike. I will be doing this again in spring. I also have a few Kordes on Dr. Huey, and they are fine. I only have a couple of roses that seem to have a hard time flowering. On another topic, I am using the new zone rating from the new USDA map. Hope I interpreted it correctly. I was shocked at the big change. Diane |

Caramel Antique did very well here the first two years, but has since declined. Don't know why. As noted by others, it is not a good cut. |
INTERESTING that the assumption was made that I was growing Freelander roses for my own garden use. Actually, I run my own organic cut flower business. I use garden roses, English roses, AND Freelanders. My Freelander Roses are in a row in my cutting garden. THey are marvelous for just the reasons they are advertised...a cutting garden! Ice Girl gives me tons of beautiful long lasting fragrant white roses. The last cutting of them provided 2 dozen for a special birthday party. Safari went into a bouquet for a 20th wedding anniversary along with Marvelle (Which was sold as a Freelander the year I bought it, but corrected by the next year. IT is HUGE in my garden. Sweetness, now in its 3rd year is giving me copious sprays of ruffly pink roses to sell at my flower stand. Caramel Antike...One good cutting in early summer of huge flowers, usually rain spotted here, with a rebloom later in the summer. They are much like Jude the Obscure, but longer lasting as a cut. In a dryer climate they would be lovely. Tonight I picked sprays of Red Typhoon, and the yellow blushed with red ones (Magma?). The bushes are big and beautiful. It has taken them 3-4 years to hit their stride in my garden, but that includes learning time for me! I wish Palatine could still sell Freelanders, but now I am filling in the gaps with those other new wonderful Kordes roses that were mentioned by NewRoses. For me, the Freelanders were tough roses that stand up to the conditions of a roadside flower stand in summer warmth and wind. Some even had lovely fragrance, like Ice Girl. (And now all my Freelanders get a good 6" mulch over their graft in wintertime, even if other roses seldom need it...no more losses). |

Oregon's flourishing wine region
But don't underestimate the delights of visiting stand-alone tasting rooms, too. On the main road in the town of Dundee, Argyle Winery, which grows its grapes nearby in the Dundee Hills and in other Willamette Valley AVAs, offers a flight of four sparkling wines, including a rosé and a brut blended with pinot noir grapes. As an adventurous option best saved for spring, summer or fall, when the days are longer and the rain lighter, ditch the car and ride a bicycle between tasting rooms to more intimately experience the rolling hills and cloud bursts. Bike rentals are available in Portland at numerous bike shops, but you will have to either drive the bike to wine country or take it on the train as far west as you can go. Beginners should opt for an organised tour leaving from Portland; try Pedal Bike Tours which offers 10-mile intermediate-level tours for $89 per person and stops at three wineries before returning to town with you and the bikes in a van.
The Willamette Valley's wine country tourism infrastructure is still developing. There is a wide range of bed and breakfasts – from the high-end, Tuscan-styled Black Walnut Inn three miles west of Dundee, to Abbey Road Farm, 10 miles west of Dundee, with its grain silos converted to guest rooms – and only a handful of non-chain hotels.
One of those is Hotel Oregon, an excellent budget option that is part of the McMenamins empire, which turns historic buildings in Oregon and Washington into whimsical lodging, dining and drinking destinations, In addition to 48 European-style guest rooms with shared bathrooms, the hotel offers a four storey-high rooftop bar with views of the town of McMinnville, 12 miles from Dundee. You don't have to wander far from the hotel to taste wine. Head to nearby Willamette Valley Vineyards Wine Center, R Stuart and Co, or Panther Creek Cellars.
As the first large-scale luxury resort in the region, the Allison Inn and Spa in the town of Newburg, five miles from Dundee, offers a posh launch pad for wine aficionados. Rooms are well appointed and have views of the property's own vineyard and surrounding hazelnut orchards, while the onsite spa treatments feature herbs, grapes and other natural ingredients. Its Jory restaurant serves farm-to-table cuisine, including house-cured meats, a grilled Wagyu beef burger made with pinot noir and Pacific oysters on the half shell, and has an impressive wine list with hard-to-find local drops.
For the most part, the best wine country restaurants are located close to each other in the towns of McMinnville, Dundee and Newberg, although there are exceptions, including the Joel Palmer House in Dayton, six miles from Dundee, which specialises in wild mushrooms, including a crème brulee made with candy cap mushrooms, and the French-focused Cuvee in Carlton, 14 miles from Dundee, which serves boeuf bourguignon and steak and frites.
This past spring, the revamped Paulée restaurant in Dundee opened to rave reviews for its modern cuisine by chef Daniel Mondok. All the ingredients on the menu are locally sourced, from the tuna poke – a raw fish salad with apple and ginger – to the peppercorn duck with rice, baby bok choy and smoked black tea jus.
In McMinnville, Thistle offers an intimate setting complete with chalkboard menu and candlelight. Dishes of duck liver paté, braised oxtail and gnocchi with black trumpet mushrooms are inspired by deliveries from local farmers and harvesters. Around the corner, Nick's Italian Cafe remains an established classic, with exceptional wood fired pizzas and handmade pastas.

A look ahead at the week's TV schedules.
IF THE sight of Jo Brand exploring sewers and falling over in mud is your idea of a good time then Jo Brand's Big Splash on Dave, tomorrow at 9pm, is the show for you.
"It was originally an idea which came from a production company called Doghouse Media and over the course of a few months it metamorphosed into its finished stage really," explains Jo.
"Basically it was quite nice swimming ideas at the beginning and metamorphosed into horrible ideas," she laughs.
She added: "I was tortured in various forms of water or made to jump off things or generally humiliated."
However, while there are some unpleasant moments, this mix of stand-up comedy and filmed reports linked by nicely animated segments reminiscent of 1970s swimming baths posters is rather well handled.
In this week's offering, Bill Bailey helps Jo work out whether wild swimming is any better than a trip to the local pool and the comedienne tries her hand at a white-water canoe slalom course.
When you stumble across an instalment of QI you've never seen before, it's almost like winning the lottery.
But there is no feeling quite like sitting down to an all-new episode of this TV institution, which has been educating us and making us roar with laughter for the best part of a decade and is now the best panel show on TV.
About as far removed from the raucous and macho combat of Mock the Week, this cerebral and silly programme is in a class all of its own and in Friday night's episode on BBC Two at 10pm I can say with absolute certainty you are in for a treat.
A few days after launching new series Fry's Planet Word, Stephen Fry hosts the quiz with a difference, joined by comedians Phill Jupitus, Rich Hall, Jimmy Carr and regular panelist Alan Davies.
He asks questions based on the theme of indecision and awards points for the most interesting answers.
Choosing what to do with your Friday night can be a tricky thing.
Pub? Well, it's expensive and there's the hassle of getting home. The cinema also costs a fortune.
No, the best thing you can do is stay in and enjoy a night's chilled out viewing in the company of some of the greatest musical performers of all time.
There will be few music lovers who will not be delighted to see the return of Singer-Songwriters at the BBC, on BBC Four, Friday at 9.15pm.
It boasts archive performances from the 1960s and 70s, featuring the Canadian king and queen of soul searching Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, Sandy Denny and the brilliant Don McLean.
And if that leaves you hungry for more, look out for Elton John, Paul Simon, Rab Noakes, Clifford T Ward, Loudon Wainwright III and Cat Stevens.

At Lowes they have a 400 Watt (U) Metal Halide bulb that sells for about $21. I know it is rated as "street lighting" quality, but what exactly does that mean?
I looked up it's specs: Type: Sylvania M400/U/RP
I have seen alot of the lower cost, plain, 400W metal halide bulbs advertised as plant lights online and I am wondering if it is this same bulb....only for a higher cost. The specifications that were provided on the sites were the same. Yep, I do know about all the other (plant growth specific) bulbs that are available. Unfortunately, I can't afford alot of the good stuff. :-D I was just wondering if anybody is using one of these bulbs and if it will successfully grow plants thru the vegetative stage. I would hate to buy a light bulb for $30-$50, when I can buy it at lowes much cheaper. Anybody bulb experts out there? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not a metal halide bulb expert but I'm not surprised you can find a wide price variation for the same item. A big chain like Lowe's can afford to sell at a lower price than a small hydroponic company. It the bulb has the right specs, buy it at the lower price. I clicked on one of the Forum advertiser's links for metal halide bulbs, 1000bulbs.com. They offer a 400 watt metal halide bulb which seems to have the same specs for $16.41. |
I'm sure you are aware, but don't forget it's only the bulb - you will also need a reflector and ballast to make it work. And they're not cheap. |
If you are getting a MH lamp at less than 1/2 the price for the lamp, question the quality or age of the lamp. Probably a recall. MH lamps are a commodity item and every electrical contractor and electrician in the USA would be at the door buying them for $21 if they were any good. |

They are fine. I use HPS rather than Halide, but I have grown tomatos to fruiting under the bulbs I got at Home Depot or Menards for about 15-18USD. I have advised people to buy their bulbs at hardware stores for the last couple years. The speciality grow bulbs at grow shops are comparable to the "high end" floros in that they -may- be slightly better in terms of spectrum or lumen output, but they aren't enough better to justify their cost. Summary: I have used hardware store bulbs without a problem and see no reason to spend exponentially more on a high margin marketting gimmick. |
- Posted by hydro_nerd Z5/6 MO (My Page) on Sun, Feb 15, 04 at 7:51
Thanks everybody for your input...really appreciate it. I am going to go ahead and try the $21 bulb at Lowes. And, I'll let you guys know how it turns out. |
- Posted by hydro_nerd Z5/6 MO (My Page) on Sun, Feb 15, 04 at 7:59
Dave, Thanks for telling me about your experiences using these cheaper bulbs. I will probably buy the MH and the HPS bulb. I can't wait to get started!! |

Dave, I have also wondered this about the HD HID lights...I was wondering also what you grew and if there is a difference noticed among plants. You said you only used HPS. Are there some plants that as a rule like them better? I am familiar with HPS and flowering. I grow tropicals and it seems like my 400 watt HPS used solely makes the leaves on my plumerias look funny and stunted. My 1000 watt MH seems to make them look more normal...but overall, they were doing almost as good underneath T8's. I am not sure if the huge cost is better for the performance I get... I wondered, since we are on this thread, if there are also any places to get a 1000 MH bulb at a cheap Home Depot price... I'll also make a comment that seems "taboo" in the hydro world and that is the market itself. As a new person, the hydro market seems to me a tightly controlled vertical market with a few manufacturers(that are hidden, no web presence, PO Box addresses,) with a single distribution channel where prices are kept abnormally high. When you see a 400 HPS bulb that is going for $20 at Home Depot, you think either the market caters to people with high disposable income(I am a hobbyist) or there is a retail market for hydro plants that makes people that makes it viable commercially...I could be wrong, but I was surprised that when I did a search for them on line, I got systems made by a few manufacturers at roughly the same price. The things that has kept me buying at the "boutique" stores is that I am new and don't trust that "regular" lights used for street lamps would work for plants, didn't want to burn down my house, and wanted quality equipment. Now that I am into this for a season, I am beginning to agree with you...But I would add that my "plant" HID systems aren't really doing me much more than my store bought T8 fluorescents did for them... but now, I am paying for much, much more electricity. I know this is not a popular comment. Many people rave about their HID lights...I sure I would be more satisfied if the HID costs were much much lower...But the conclusion I am coming to lately is I don't think they are worth the huge premium in equipment, replacement cost and electricity. I could be wrong..the control plumerias I have under T'8s may not have as much new growth, but they are still blooming. The HID plumerias have not produced enough add'l growth to make it worth the price, in my opinion. The other thing is that these being high light plants, I may not going to notice much indoors under any lights...Also, they are on light tracks so they are not getting the amount light that they would directly overhead... I think it HID is worth it if you have money to burn, in the business to sell your plants, have to eat tomatoes in the winter, or have a small collection. I am trying to replace a greenhouse collection with them so my collection is huge. So far, no substitute for a greenhouse with sun, imho... |

- I have also wondered this about the HD HID lights...I was wondering also what you grew and if there is a difference noticed among plants. You said you only used HPS. Are there some plants that as a rule like them better? - Tomatos, peppers, lettuce, various flowers and occassionally a houseplant that looks tired out gets a vacation under the HPS. I suppose some plants might prefer one over the other, but I haven't experienced any issues with the HPS on anything. I haven't ever used a MH though so I can't say whether the results for anything would have been better. One option for the person who doesn't have any HID light yet is to buy a switchable ballast that can take both MH and HPS. Then go to the hardware store and buy one of each bulb for less than the price of one "high end" bulb from those catering to hobbiests. The bulbs at the hardware store are marketted for outdoor lighting applications where people aren't willing to spend the kind of money on a bulb that hobbiests are. As far as 1000 watt bulbs, you may be able to get them, but usually they aren't stocked at hardware stores I have seen. It was about 2 years ago at a HomeDepot where I asked if they would order them and they said yes. Can't hurt to ask, but as a rule 400 watts is the highest I would expect to find in stock most places. For indoor use a 1000 watt light isn't very efficient given the enourmous heat it gives off. You would do better with 2 400 watt lights which give you greater coverage area. |

Dave, What can I say, I wish I had ran into you sooner. Also, I have an Agrosun bulb MH 1000. I am not sure it is doing anything different with what I grow. Maybe they are for other types of plants...like tomatoes... Thanks, Scott |
- Posted by Dave_zone_5 Zone 5a/4b Wisc (My Page) on Mon, Feb 16, 04 at 23:31
Scott, don't sweat having a 1000 watter. You live in zone 5 like me so just hook it up in the cold basement and enjoy the warmth ;-) Seriously the one thing a 1000 watter is better for than the lower wattage lights is canopy penetration. With a 1000 watter you can grow taller plants like tomatos to fruiting without a problem. It costs a few bucks to run each month, but a MH light is much better for chasing away the winter blues than the orange glow of HPS. I know folks who use floros to help with the winter doldrums and I thought the HPS might help with that as well. Frankly working near the HPS makes me feel like a space alien ;-) I just tell myself I am outside during the sunset rather than noonday sun ;-) |
HPS and MH both run with lots more lumens/watt (light flux) than any other type of light source including fluorescent. Elec cost is less for same amount of lumens. |
1000Bulbs.com for an online source of lighting. HPS definately for flowering. MH or Fluro for veg. |
I just happened to visit the Hydroponics forum and saw this topic. The MH and HPS lights that are sold at Home Depot and Lowes are absolutely fine for growing. Lowes carries Sylvania and Home Depot carries Philips. They are good quality, and not some kind of junk rip-off bulb. If you buy a lamp from a "specialty grow shop", you ARE taking a chance on getting a low-quality lamp - if there is little or no manufacturer's information with it. I they do not know the company that made it, definitely don't pay any more than Lowe's or HD's price. There are some MH and HPS lamps custom-made specificially to enhance the portions of the spectrum that the plants can use (mainly 430nm,453nm blue and 642nm,662nm red). Although these lamps may perform well, they are overly expensive and the slight boosts in the "enhanced" wavelengths are overly subject to early deterioration of their output. One deceptive item you will find in "gro shops" is the "full-spectrum" high-wattage compact fluorescent grow bulbs. They are actually tri-color phosphor lamps manufactured in Asia and being marked as "Grow Lamps". Almost ALL fluorescent lamps nowadays are tri-color phosphor Just try to find out where they maufacture bulbs like the Envirolite. Hah! Those same bulbs will eventually (we hope) be in Lowes and HD for a bargain price too. Zink |

I've used the hal bulbs and the floresent bulbs. 1 thing I know for a fact is "The high output of heat from halide bulbs is not good for plants. They do service a larger area, but they do need good venting for heat control. After using both, I settled for the floresent lights because of the heat problem, cost of the bulbs and electricity cost. |
Any HID lamp makes more light per watt than any fluorescent lamp, ie, they use LESS electricity for the same light level. Why do you think you see HID lighting the interstate and not fluorescent? |
Developments in the physics of phosphorescent emission are making the fluorescent light more and more efficient. The latest fluorescent lamps (T5's for example) have equal, or higher, lumen/watt ratios than a lot of the HIDs. Only when you get above 400 watts do the HIDs become solidly more efficient. The heat output from the new higher wattage fluorescent lamps is becoming quite significant. The reason the HIDs always seem so hot is because they have been much higher wattage lamps than any fluorescent. Eventually, there will be fluorescent replacements for many of the HID lamps. If you have touched one of the newer high-power CFLs, you know they get hot. Even the 42w spiral CFL's, which are becoming commonly available in stores, get hot enough to bcause quite a burn if touched. If you want to see some of the CFL bulbs we will be using in the future, check out these sites: By the way, this is where entreprenuers are buying bulbs and marketing them as "Patented Special Formula Full-Spectum Super Gro-Lites" and the like, since no one knows they are available yet. Those higher wattage tri-phosphor CFLs will eventually be commomplace, I hope. Zink |
So what's the warning about not staying near them for more than a few minutes? It's on the MH pkg at Lowe's. I've asked in other postings, but no response. Do you spend time in the room with your lights? Any idea what this is about? Sunburn? Eyes? |
- Posted by alexander_permison DC Zone 7 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 18, 04 at 21:49
Good question. I've seen this warning on compact flourescents as well. I've also see CFL's that advertised they were "shielded" and safe for inside. I am guessing they produce in the UV range. Anyone have any other ideas? Anyone get a tan from their CFL's? |
- Posted by peter318200 VIC aust (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 04 at 18:39
hi guys been reading the thread hope this helps 1st un- shielded halide bulbs =danger!! these bulbs are advertised as being shielded because they produce i believe some gamma and x rays not a scientist but you get the idea app what ever rays they are are very weak and cant pentrate glass unless it has a tiny hole in it i mean the bulb here theres no way you can tell if this is occuring but we are talking cancer here not sun burn SO SHIELD THE BULB ring up a bulb manafactuer and tell them you use them in your workshop or whatever and your worried about the workers and get the facts. this is only a concern with halides NO problem with HPS 2nd the great fluro debate rages on iv had a good run with them used carefully while its true that hps and halides produce more light per watt there is allso truckloads more heat which means the bulb is further away from the plant,light obays the inverse square law which simply means that if you double the distance from the light 2 the plant you only get 1/4 as much light if you double the distance again your down to 1/9th thus you are better off with good fluro bulbs 1" from the plants than a good hps 24" away espec when the plants are small as the plants gro the sitch changes as the hps has much better penertration thru foliage and the plants need 4 light doubles during flowering but you will save a load of electricity in the first month or 6 weeks and the plants wont mind a bit but you must keep them close to the bulb when the bottom leaves start to yellow and die back is the time to swap over. big difference between how much light your providing and how much the plants are using dont pay 4 light they dont need. hope this helps and sorry about the spelling guys peter |
Thanks! Glad I didn't race over and buy one. I suppose the standard hydro halides are shielded, but I'd better go look before I fire it up again! |
I'm really having a frustrating time trying to replaced my 400W MH lamp. I just can't seem to find out if they are shielded in such a way that they are safe for indoor use for hours at a time. The vendors I contact don't seem to have the faintest idea what I'm talking about. I know that some bulbs are coated, but I think that this is to make them more shatterproof rather than less UV intensive. Can't get an answer on that, either. Can anyone speak authoritatively on this subject? |
- Posted by shrubs_n_bulbs z8/9 UK (My Page) on Tue, Mar 8, 05 at 6:37
mkirkwag, Metal Halide bulbs produces dangerous amounts of UV. This is absorbed by the glass envelope on the bulb. If you examine a bulb carefully you will see it is actually a bulb inside a glass shield. The bulbs are safe as long as this outer enevelope is intact. Intact metal halid bulbs emit a fair amount of UVA radiation, which will fade died fabrics, and a small amount of UVB which causes sunburn. The emitted UVB is far lower than being in shade outdoors. You might be able to get a suntan if you spent the majority of your time in a grow room. If the outer envelope is damaged, the type and amount of UV that is emitted will give you a severe sunburn quite quickly, as well as possible eye damage and potential skin cancer. Some bulbs are designed to extinguish automatically in this case, some have an outer enevlope that remains intact even when damaged, but there is still a chance of exposure to UV. Metal halide bulbs can also fail explosively and should always be used in a light fitting with additional shielding, both to prevent damage from flying glass and to reduce UV after a failure. |
The heat that comes of these lighting systems can be easily fixed with the new air cooled reflectors. I can keep my hand on the piece of glass wich is only 6'' away from the bulb as long as I want. This is a 1000HPS that I can get 12'' from my plants with no burning. Heat problem solved. More light for the buck. Also, nobody is talking about 600HPS. These systems have the most lumen per watt than any other lighting systems. Quite impressive if you ask me. Example of high output bulbs: 1000HPS Hortilux: 145,000 lumens 145 lumens/watt These are just numbers to compare different bulbs. Always have to remember that par (photosynthetic active radiation) is what is truly important. I have been using Hid Lighting for 12 years, and the thing that have has improved the most on these systems are the bulbs. I have done side by side comparisons with your basic bulb and these new and improved bulbs and without a dought they perform as promised. The most important part of our gardening when it comes to supplemental lighting is the lights themselves. If you love your plants as much as I do I want give them everything they are looking for. Sure you can go by those bulbs at home depot with a 4000k (5000-6500k Much better for veg), but your cutting your plants short of what they can achieve. Your using the electricity why not get the most for your dollar when it comes down to it. If you think we pay a lot for bulbs talk to anyone who grows coral for fun. Those bulbs cost some money. But hey, if you love doing something so much whats a few extra dollars when comes to a lifetime of pleasure. Keep growing!! |

This is a good thread. Let's start with some basics: 1) Plants like light. 2) Not all light is the same. 3) Your money is your money. The 400 Watt MH bulb available at the Home Center will work just fine, but there are better bulbs. How much better and how much more they cost...well see #3 above. Everyone has to make his or her own choices. If you are happy with your choices, so am I. Each person's individual situation and individual set up are different, so it depends on what you are doing and how you want to do it. For regular homeowners and general winter gardening, it is a good idea not to look at the high Watt Growlights like 1000 Watt or 600 Watt. Even the mid range 400 Watt Growlight may or may not be too much of a stretch in the price range for regular gardeners either to buy or to operate. Most home gardeners should be looking at 100 Watt HID Growlights, especially to start. These cost about $175 to buy and cost the exact same to use as a 100 Watt regular incandescent light--or even less than a ceiling fixture which has two 60 Watt lightbulbs.. Indeed, if you can get your kids to turn off the lights, computer monitor, and TV when they are not in the room after you buy the 100 Watter, you may actually lower your electric costs. Those Incandescent Growbulbs are not a good use of money. You need to get the HID (High Intensity Discharge) fixture to use either a MH (Metal Halide) or HPS (High Pressure Sodium). A 100 Watt Growlight will grow at least one tomato plant to fruit--especially if there is supplemental window light--even in the winter. More money, but a better light is the 250 Watter especially when using a mixed spectrum bulb. This costs less than $300 to buy, but uses 2 1/2 times more electricity than a 100 Watter. The HID light fixtures from quality manufacturers come with five year warranties and if you take care of them can be used for at least 20 years. The bulbs need to be replaced. Fluorescents can work fine especially for starting seeds. There are many choices here as well. To get an idea of average, most tubes use 40 Watts apiece. There are 32 Watters which give off less light and 54 Watters which give off more light. A fixture which uses two 40 Watt tubes uses 80 Watts total; a four tube fixture uses 160 Watts. The key is to try what you think will work best for you, then you will have some experience to judge all the different claims. You can make up your own mind. |
How on earth can you grow veggies with 100 watts? Mine are complaining about my 400W, which has diminished to about 250. Thanks, shrubs_n_bulbs. Sylvania said pretty much the same thing, but you were more informative. It's interesting to note though that it's a Sylvania bulb that carries the UV warning. |

Artificial light fades fast. The higher the light is hung, the wider the area it covers--at the same time the farther the light moves from the plants. The general recommendation is that a 400 Watt Growlight covers a 4 foot by 4 foot area with primary light. A 250 Watt Growlight covers about a 2 and a half by 2 and a half foot area with primary light. The 100 Watt Growlight covers just about one tomato or pepper plant with primary light. This is what a lot of apartment growers and homeowners can fit. A 250 Watt Growlight fits about 2 or 3 tomatoes or peppers, depending on size. If you also have your vegetables next to a patio door, or window where they get a couple of hours of sunlight as well as ten or twelve hours of growlight, then your tomatoes or pepper plants will do just fine indoors. As well, a Metal Halide will grow more compact plants while the High Pressure Sodium grows smaller leaves with more space between the leaves. You can also burn both types at the same time. shrubs_n_bulbs is exactly correct and he wrote it well. |

you can buy T5 or T12 bulbs(fluorescent) anywhere. They can touch the plant without burning. And have bulbs in both spectrums. they use less electricity, and are cheaper(especially if you buy at a hardware or electrical store) just look at the kelvin rating on a hydro website and copy there data. You will probably save 50% compared to buying flourescents online. 30% or more compared to MH or HPS |

"This is really great. We had Outback yesterday so I can definitely say it tastes very, very similar. I would caution against more that 4 tsp of salt. We did the 6 tsp because my husband loves everything really salty and even he didn't like it. Be very careful with the salt; you can always add more afterwards."
"This is my favorite watermelon recipe! I subbed jalapenos for the serrano peppers, lime juice for red wine vinegar, and cilantro for the dill. I also garnished with sour cream rather than feta. I had ingredients for salsa on hand, which is why I subbed so much. Delicious."
"Amazingly delicious. I used butter flavored crisco as my shortening (the only shortening appropriate for desserts IMO).

[47] Comparison of Autopsy Findings of 2009 Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) with Seasonal Influenza in Four Pediatric Patients
B Xu, JJ Woytash, D Vertes. State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY; Erie County Medical Examiner's Office, Buffalo, NY
Background: The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that emerged in humans in early 2009 has reached pandemic proportions and cause over 120 pediatric deaths nationwide. Studies in animal models have shown that the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus is more pathogenic than seasonal A virus, with more extensive virus replication and shedding occurring the respiratory tract.
Design: We report four cases of influenza A-associated deaths (two pandemic and two seasonal) in persons less than fifteen years of age who had no underlying health issues. Autopsy finding on isolation of virus from various tissue specimen, cocurrent bacterial infection and pathological changes of the respiratory tract were compared between swine-oringin influenza A H1N1 and seasonal influenza infected patients.
Results: The swine-origin influenza A-subtype H1N1 was isolated from post-mortem throat swabs, lung and brain tissue and was confirmed by real time RT-PCR in two cases. Isolates from throat swabs in two other cases were positive for seasonal influenza A virus H1N1 (non-swine) and H3N2, respectively. Evidence of concurrent bacterial infection, S. aureus (MRSA), was found in lung and blood specimens in both swine-origin influenza A H1N1 patients. H. influenzae bacillus was identified from the throat culture in one of two seasonal flu cases. Examination of the respiratory tract revealed marked hemorrhagic and necrotic changes of upper airway mucosa and hemorrhagic pleural fluid in swine-origin H1N1 patients. Whereas pathology evaluation of postmortem lung specimens showed non-specific edema and congestion in seasonal flu cases, diffuse alveolar damage with prominent hyaline membrane and type II pneumocyte proliferation, hemorrhagic necrosis of bronchiolar walls and neutrophilic infiltration were evident in the lungs of swine-origin H1N1 infected patients.
Conclusions: Our study suggests that bacterial superinfection in lungs and acute respiratory distress syndrome can play a pivotal role in fatal swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) cases.

The need to achieve a fat, high-voltage, long-duration spark across an ultrawide spark gap has outdistanced the ability of a conventional coil to supply the needed energy, especially when its output has to be divided among four, six or eight cylinders. An ignition coil is essentially a transformer that turns the 12-volt signal from the ignition amplifier to the 20,000 to 30,000 volts needed to arc across the plug. Traditionally, one high-voltage pulse was generated to fire each plug as its cylinder came around to the beginning of the combustion (power) stroke. A mechanical rotor inside the distributor switched the high voltage around to the individual plugs through the plug wires. Now, two different systems (with some variations) are used to replace the unreliable distributor.
The simpler of the two systems uses a single ignition coil for each cylinder, mounted directly on top of each plug or at least nearby. This way the ignition amplifier can send low-voltage pulses to each coil individually, without relying on the distributor. Simple and elegant-but expensive for six- or eight-cylinder engines.
The other class of ignition systems uses a single coil to fire a pair of cylinders. Huh? Well, when one cylinder (say, No. 1) is at top dead center (TDC) at the beginning of the power stroke, another piston somewhere in the engine is at TDC on the exhaust stroke. At this point there's no pressure in the second cylinder because both valves are open a touch, and the burned combustion gases have been swept out the exhaust. A single coil is used to fire across both of these plugs--and the spark in the exhaust-stroke cylinder is wasted.
Four-cylinder engines using wasted-spark-type coils can mount a coil on one plug and use a short wire to fire the plug two cylinders away. V6 and V8 engines have opposed cylinders firing on opposite banks, so they generally use some sort of coil pack and almost-normal ignition wires.
If you have issues with your ignition system that don't respond to simple diagnostics (like, say, the ignition amplifier has lost a crankshaft position sensor and the engine won't start at all), then you need to get a proper shop manual and slavishly follow the troubleshooting instructions in it because car manufacturers differ widely in their implementations of this system.
But you have an engine with a misfiring condition and a Check Engine light, not a no-start.
Scan tools will quickly pinpoint misfiring cylinders.
Spark testers are a safe way to see if coil output is up to snuff.

Stretched thin by a string of dubious investments, Charlie was stuck. He didn't have big cash reserves, and he sure as hell couldn't drill new mines to generate cash flow with his offices padlocked and his papers seized.
That May, Charlie filed for Chapter 11 protection in federal bankruptcy court. It would take eleven arduous years for the Steens to settle with the federal government.
"It was culture shock," recalls the Steens' longtime friend. "There was a lot of bitterness. You lose a lot of freedom and independence. You're immediately impoverished, living in a big house with no electricity and no groceries. It was an immediate about-face. You don't take that without bitterness. But you come to the point when you accept it to survive, to keep from being sick every day."
The friend recalls asking M.L. whether they'd salted away money in a Swiss bank account. M.L. replied, "This is America. We didn't think we had to."
M.L. was "pretty well devastated," the friend says. "Charlie was devastated, too, but he was able to muster the need to fight back."
Charlie Steen, who'd enabled the government to buy uranium much more cheaply than it could have imported it, already had paid the government $30 million in taxes.
"He had saved the American taxpayer in excess of $2 billion and made us a world power," M.L. said.
None of that mattered.
Charlie's lawyers sorted through the complex case and offered a settlement of about $480,000. The government wanted $4 million. Charlie wanted to fight. While negotiations dragged on, the government allowed the Steens to live in their mansion, but they were denied the funds to run it. At one point, they were eating beans by candlelight after the power had been shut off.
Charlie simply had to make one of his mining ventures work, and so he went back out into the field.
Working at a drilling site in California in 1971, he suffered another major hit. The drill smacked Charlie in the head. He was rushed to a hospital, where he had life-saving brain surgery and then lay in a coma for 33 days.
When he woke up, he spoke Spanish, not English, and remembered his sons not by their names but as No. 1, No. 2 and so on. It took Charlie two and a half years to recover.
"He never did call me by name right after the accident," M.L. said. "It was very, very difficult for all of us, because he knew what he wanted to say but he couldn't say it."
Years later, though, both could laugh about it.
"He came up with some really funny things," M.L. said. "One time he came in the bathroom and he said, 'M.L., can you cut this hair right here with pliers?' And I said, 'I sure can!'"
"It hurt like hell!" said Charlie.
"And he said, 'Oh, dammit, you know what I mean. The scissors!' And another time he was out in the carport with one of our kids and he said, 'You know, we've got to get snowshoes for these cars.' Oh, we had a lot of laughs, even if they were at his expense!"
"Well," said Charlie, "I've had a sense of humor all my life. I laugh at myself even today."
And there was one big laugh yet to come--this one on the IRS. As it turned out, some of the bankruptcy court's appraisals of Steen's seized property were absurdly low and proved that he'd had the potential for at least one more big strike. Charlie's Mercur Mine in Utah was snapped up by Getty Oil for $83,000. Mark Steen says it later pumped out $150 million worth of gold for its new owner.
Mark Steen, now nearing fifty, is a driven person, much like his dad. His sense of humor, however, is about a thousand shades darker. "I've been in the sticky grip of the legal profession all my adult life," he says, sitting down for an interview in the Hotel Boulderado bar.
His view is that he stuck by his parents, while Charles Jr. and Andy deserted them. During the last few years of the fight with the feds, Charlie refused to even go to court, and Mark stood in for the Steen family. Lawyers came and went; there wasn't enough money to pay one set of attorneys to see the case through from start to finish. It was Mark who dealt with the changes, Mark who scraped together money to buy back Charlie and M.L's personal possessions from bankruptcy court in Nevada.
When the smoke finally cleared, the Steen empire had shrunk--but not exactly to nothing.
The Reno mansion is history; the family finally left it in 1975. But the Steens still own big chunks of land in Moab. And that little town is now one of the nation's mountain-biking capitals; it's booming with tourists. Some of the Steens' land is right along the main highway through town; another section is the only private holding on the popular Slickrock Bike Trail. Developed, the property is potentially worth millions.
In Boulder County, the Steens own the old Cash Mine and other gold-mining properties, which they call the Gold Hill Venture.

LONDON -- Ophir Energy announced the results of its Ngisi drilling program, Block 4 Tanzania and the upgrade of the recoverable resource across the Chewa-Pweza-Ngisi hub in Block 4 to 4.5 Tcf.
Ophir holds the 40% of Blocks 1, 3 and 4; BG operates with 60%. Gas pay was encountered in the Ngisi prospect within a high net to gross reservoir interval.
The penetrations into the Chewa reservoir also encountered gas pay as prognosed and confirmed widespread, excellent reservoir characteristics. As a result, these wells have increased the mean recoverable resource of the Chewa Pweza Ngisi hub from 3.7 Tcf to 4.5 Tcf, in excess of pre drill expectations, in addition to derisking exploration upside in several nearby targets.
This drilling result has also further demonstrated the feasibility of drilling highly deviated wells which will be incorporated into development planning of the assets.
Deepsea Metro I drillship has now moved to drill the Mkizi-1 exploration well in Block 1. Mkizi is a 0.6 Tcf prospect of Tertiary age, close to the Jodari discovery. Mkizi, appraisal of the Block 4 Pweza discovery is planned.

Superstorm waves cause little damage along Lake Michigan shoreline
By John Robbins Post-Tribune correspondent November 1, 2012 8:36PM
Workers use heavy equipment to return sand to the beach area at the Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton Thursday Nov. 1, 2012. High winds from the storm system surrounding Hurricane Sandy deposited unusually high amount of sand in the parking lot. | Andy Lavalley~Sun-Times Media

While a long way from the main event, Northwest Indiana felt the wrath of Hurricane Sandy along the shoreline of Lake Michigan early this week in the form of high winds and estimated 20-foot waves, but no serious property damage or beach erosion appears to have occurred.
Low lake water levels appear to have saved the lakefront from any major destructive impact from the storm.
The dramatic sight of 20-foot waves helped boost paid park admissions at an otherwise slow time of year. "It had a positive revenue effect with all the people coming to see the lake," said Brandt Baughman, Indiana Dunes State Park property manager.
Dunes National Lakeshore rangers stationed at the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk unit observed steady crowds, too. Some visitors wanting to view the waves of epic proportion were turned away due to limited parking there.
The rangers noted some scouring of sand away from the base of a ramp designed to make the beach handicapped accessible. Jenny Orsburn, Portage Parks Department superintendent, planned to assess the damage early Thursday with city engineer John Harmon.
"We're going to look at the impact on the walkway when it's safer to get out there," Orsburn said. The waves were striking the walkway so a review to determine the extent of undermining, if any, is needed, she said. The Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk is owned by the National Lakeshore but operated and maintained by the city of Portage.
"We got pretty lucky at the beach," said Bruce Rowe, public information officer for the National Lakeshore. There does not appear to be any erosion at Mount Baldy but staffers still needed to assess all the beaches, Rowe said.
Rowe said one tree was felled across a trail due to high winds and that a hazardous tree assessment will be undertaken along the 45 miles of hiking trails.
Ogden Dunes Marshal Jim Reeder said one beach access road was closed due on Tuesday due to debris blown onto the road and an officer reported that a beachfront house sustained minor damage.
The reason the Indiana shoreline of Lake Michigan saw such little damage, according to Steve Davis, Lake Michigan specialist for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, is because of near record low water levels.
"I came in yesterday (Tuesday) expecting reports of death and destruction," Davis said. He's still waiting.
Because of low water levels waves break farther from shore, expending their energy away from the shoreline. Low water levels cause beaches to be much wider, too, so waves that do make it to shore have less destructive energy and can't travel as far up the beach to reach the dune face where more erosion would take place, Davis said.
Davis noted that with the onset of winter lake levels typically drop even farther. He said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has estimated that in the next six months the lake level could break the record low of 576.05 feet set in March 1964.
As of Sept. 12 the surface elevation of Lake Michigan measured 576.97 feet above sea level, less than 1 foot higher than the record low.
