Index -> Web-Only -> The Richardson Report Could the 11,000-Point Dow Make Us All Miserable? Could the 11,000-point Dow make us all miserable? If the Elliott Wave theory is to be believed, stock market predictions for 2010 are about to get very bad, and could take down Obama with them Losing the Drug War in California Opponents of the proposed law to legalize and tax marijuana need better arguments, because just saying they're concerned that kids will start driving high is sending the debate up in smoke The Fastest Way to Real Reform Sure, the Tea Partiers could just shut up, but our national delusion is the result of screaming on all sides. Joseph Stiglitz is right: if we want financial reform in 2010, it's time to follow the money. The Next Questions We Should Be Asking About Health Care What does the health care bill mean to me? What is the health care bill, anyway? These are the questions you should be asking about the health care reform pros and cons. John H. Richardson has answers. Dear Tea Party: This Is What America Stands For Looking at scenes from Tuesday's Tea Party protest on the health care bill, John H Richardson sends a message to the Tea Party's "can't-do" spirit, and a history lesson for the eve of health care reform Everyone's Freaking Out. Should Obama? It's time for Obama's health care push, and if Obama wants reconciliation to work, the the Left needs to stop shooting the messenger and remember what's really swirling around health care reform Is the GOP the Party of No or Just Plain Ignorance? The GOP health care plan? What GOP health care plan, asks John H Richardson. Before we get to the Jim Bunning fiasco, we need to get down to HCR details from the summit, the history books, and abroad Why the Torture Fight Keeps Going Around in Circles John H Richardson has some much-needed perspective on how to correct the future of the torture debate after the Justice Dept torture report from the OPR course before Obama's no-torture rule gets broken Unearthing the Foundations of the Tea Party... from Wingnut E-mails John H Richardson unearths Tea Party movement history through revealing emails that essentially make Ezra Pound look like the first conservative talk-show host? If you follow the logic, it all starts to make sense. What Will Be Our Second Revolutionary War? John Richardson says there's movement on two fronts in the new American "revolution": Al Franken and the Health Care March on Washington, and Sarah Palin's tea party quote triangulation. Can either make enough sense to work? Crisis at the Tea Party: Dare They Touch the Real GOP? A look at the Republican party platform vs the tea party in crisis, plus the Right's complaints of the week, with an exclusive take on the new budget from Lamar Alexander Did Scott Brown Kill the 'Liberal' Media? After Keith Olbermann's post-Scott Brown apology, John H Richardson has a modest proposal for Keith Olbermann and Co. to know what they're up against before they embarrass the Left. Why Conservatives Are in Denial About Scott Brown, Secret Liberal If Scott Brown's poll numbers surprise you, read this conservative denial of his big-government agenda from the Tea Party supporters behind his Massachusetts Senate race. Can Congress Stop Pot from Becoming Our Prohibition? Can marijuana bills in Congress for 2010 start legislative hearings this week? Committee chair Mary Lou Dickerson says states can take the lead toward passing a legalization of marijuana bill now. Is This McCarthyism 2.0? Inside the Right's Battle with ACORN The head of the Acorn group that became Fox News' favorite bogeyman on the campaign trail speaks out on why the conservative obsession with Acorn won't go away Why Are All These Republicans Acting So... Liberal? Because when politics turn local, our parties' national politics can take a 180 for the better. A report from the sidewalks on a partisan divide that's more surprising than you ever knew. Why Health Care (and Reality) Will Defer the Republican Dream No matter how much the conservatives think they've won with health care reform, here's why the votes will never be there, for their health care bill or their small government agenda. Why We Need to Stop Blaming the Big-Name Cheaters Don't hate Tiger Woods for continuing the Great American Sex Scandal epidemic among our athletes and politicians. Hate yourself. John H.

In an exclusive interview on nuclear power, Senator Lamar Alexander says he wants a mini-Manhattan project for clean nuclear reactors and that "we may need to put caps on smokestacks and low carbon fuel standards on fuel" The 'Socialist' American Reform That Worked Long Before Health Care Got beef with the House's health-care reform bill and what's headed into the Senate? Try the history of this country's public-education system on for size. Whaddaya Mean Obama Hasn't Done Anything? A timeline of Obama's first year reveals that today's frustration stems not from a lack of policy so much as a lack of common ground. Therein lies the myth of the American center. One City's Insane Fight Against Obama's Sane New Pot Policy The Obama administration's new medical marijuana policy has put a stop to crackdowns, but insane new California laws on the medical-marijuana dispensaries could find a loophole Can One Day of Your Weekend Help Save the World? The 350 project's global warming protests across the globe (including Afghanistan) could sure as hell wake up the millions of people who'd just as soon ignore the great scientific story of our time.

The free-market economists who rallied against it, like NYU's Alberto Bison, look back and realize they had almost no idea what they were actually talking about. The Other Public Option: In Search of Better Health Care Abroad Joe Wilson is worried about offering insurance to Mexicans, but Mexico has a working public health care system, and they give free treatment to American medical tourists Why the Obama Haters Are Choking on Their Own Sins Beyond shouting from Joe Wilson and the 9/12 rally in Washington (we've got the protest sign photos to prove THAT was scary), the undercurrent of American rage seems increasingly founded in backward logic Why Obama Can't Let the School-Speech Tantrum Slow Him Down As a top education scholar puts it, "mindless political correctness" can get the best of the bottom line. And critics of Obama's speech to students are being hysterical. A Radical Solution to End the Drug War: Legalize Everything Leading ex-cop Neill Franklin helps do the math: America's drug war may be costing more lives than Mexico's and nearly enough dollars for universal health care.

What really happens when you demand that President Obama produce his birth certificate? You get a bunch of birthers storming the offices of the attorney general, the secretary of state, and the FBI. Esquire's John H. Richardson bears witness. When Did Americans Turn into a Bunch of Raving Lunatics? A look back at how we got to this apex of the "birther" movement and more frightening still a road trip into the heart of Obama hater country Bringing America's Real Criminals to Justice The same Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats who put the freeze on health-care reform now want to cut funds in all the wrong places.

Enough Fence Already: Tough Questions on Immigration Reform Yes, Obama made a commitment on Thursday to push new immigration laws albeit not 'til next year. But, yes, there are 11 million illegal immigrants in our country. What happens between now and then appears complex, until you talk to this one to Mark Sanford: 'Man Is Fallen' Before he admitted to an affair with a woman in Argentina, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford wrote his thoughts, then opened up in this exclusive interview What the Trucker Knows: A Checkup on the Card-Check Law As Capitol Hill takes on union rights with the Employee Free Choice Act, we speak with one organizer whose company spied on him and then left him without enough to support a family.

JAIPUR: Rajasthan University's language department is drawing students from different disciplines by offering industry-oriented courses in foreign languages, ranging from certificate to post-graduate diploma courses in French, German and Spanish.
The last batch is well-placed with an average starting salary between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000 for post graduates in French and diploma holders in Spanish and German. Some have moved abroad for higher studies.
Professor Asha Pande, former head of department, European Languages credited the popularity of these courses to increased bilateral trade between India and non-English speaking European countries.
''IT, and knowledge process outsourcing companies (KPOs), tourism and travel companies contact us for students skilled in foreign languages," she said.
Students land up with lucrative jobs in cities such as Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi, she said.
The faculty employs a unique teaching method to help students build a larger vocabulary at a fast pace. Interactive lessons are meant for beginners in all the three languages and focus on grammar, conjugation and word order.
The department offers 70 seats in certificate, 30 in diploma and 15 in post diploma course.
Kavita Singh, a management graduate, has applied for a diploma course in French to pursue higher studies in France. "Proficiency in the language would increase my job opportunities in France," she said.
Many professionals from media, entertainment, IT are enrolling for these foreign language courses. "A large chunk of them wants to go abroad for work," added Pande, who is the first Indian women to receive French government's highest civilian award Legion d'honneur.
Around 400 students apply for these language courses every year. Despite umpteen efforts by the university, the department continues to be plagued by a severe faculty shortage against rising number of applicants.
Apart from the RU department, the city has around 15 institutes which offer degree and diploma courses in foreign languages.

I planted my garden about a month or so ago and it is making no progress at all:
When I transplanted those tomatoes and cucumbers they were about that size. No progress is being made. Infact those photos are a bit old, right now the tomatoes look alot worse(more yellowish-brown). Does anyone know what the problem could be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Aside from planting very late, I'd say maybe lack of nitrogen in the soil... Susan |
We planted tomatoes in topsoil the same time which grew vibrantly unlike the square foot ones. How would I find out if I lack nitrogen? |

In the process of replacing my kitchen faucet config and have been shopping for a Waterstone set up. I notice all their suites have air gaps. It's been many years since I had an air gap and really did not know what they were. Having now (somewhat!) educated myself here by reading threads, I wonder if it is advisable to have one.
Our state code apparently does not require it, and I've never had an issue with our "high loop" under the sink. We had first a Fridgidare DW I think, and now Bosch, but will be changing that out soon for possibly a Kitchenaid. I have only 4 holes drilled in my granite, and want to use them judiciously. Should I reserve one for an air gap to be safe, and be a good citizen? And does the necessity for an air gap vary with DW brands, or is it all a matter of the high loop under the sink? No RO system in use. Still, I would hate to special order faucet configs and DWs that were incompatible. Many thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am getting away with a high loop, though, my local authority requires an air gap. IMO, they do exactly the same function, and, mine has been in for 6 years with no problem. The hole where the old air gap was (so I could get my permit signed off) is now occupied by a soap dispenser. An air gap or high loop is necessary for all models, I believe, and, most DW installation guides say that one of the two need to be used but to check with the local authorities (permitting agency/AHJ). |

Hello Mizz, Here in California where I live Air-gaps are code. I suggest you spend the $5-$10 & add one into your new DW install. They work great when properly installed & will help your new DW drain nicely. Good luck. |
- Posted by CigarLover (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 21:58
By the way, it just dawned on me about your possible new DW purchase. I recommend the "Whirlpool" brand of DWs. I have purchased 2 this year, (Grandmas house & Girlfriends house). They make some really nice units & very energy & water efficient. If you want the higher end model, I put a black one in at my Grandmas & its really sweet. You can hardly hear it running standing next to it. Here is a few links for you: http://www.whirlpool.com/kitchen-1/dishwasher-%26-cleaning-2/dishwashers-3/-[WDT790SAYB]-1003281/WDT790SAYB/ Go to page 10 to see the efficiency specs for the Whirlpool models, very impressive on the water usage: http://downloads.energystar.gov/bi/qplist/Dishwashers Product List.pdf |
Thanks, guys. Air gaps are not code here, but it does strike me as safer than counting on a hose. I will check out the Whirlpool DWs. Thanks. |
The air gap is hooked up with hoses. At least some places have dropped the requirement for air gaps in residential DW installations. They always have been over kill. |
I agree with Brickey. If one were to compare a high loop to a air gap with the understanding what the setup is to address, the difference between the air gap and high loop is about 2" of additional raise - that is insignificant. I live in California also, but, that didn't stop me from getting my permit signed off and then an install of a soap dispenser in the air gap's place and adding a high loop. Just me... |

"If one were to compare a high loop to a air gap with the understanding what the setup is to address, the difference between the air gap and high loop is about 2" of additional raise - that is insignificant" Hardly the difference and hardly insignificant. You don't seem to understand what an air gap is and how it works in a DW installation. A high loop is a closed loop that can be overcome by backflow from the drain sufficient to overcome the height of the loop and then cross-contamination of the potable water can occur. An air gap is exactly that. Backflow from drain CAN NOT overcome the air gap. Backflow from drain will run into the sink from the air gap housing because the air gap is open to atmosphere and cross-contamination of the potable water will not occur. Regardless of how many choose the high loop and how many never had a problem with a high loop the air gap is real protection from cross-contamination and the high loop is not. |

Mizz, Lurker has spent the time to explain the function/purpose of the Air-gap in detail. I know a guy that is a health inspector that told me that they will shut-down a restaurant when they discover that a DW does not have an Air-gap properly installed. They will reopen when it is installed; imagine the cost of that over-site in a large restaurant? They have made & sold millions upon millions of these little devices, there is a reason why. |
Justa, I BOTH know what it is and what it does. It is overkill, just like Brickey stated. Nice picture, though!! :) |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 12 at 18:12
So tjdabomb your position is that you'll take the chance of drinking your sewage and that's fine with me but I draw the line when someone is irresponsible in recommending that others take that risk along with you. I defend your right to be as reckless and stupid with your own health and safety as you like. So you and brickeyee keep your sewage at your lips and I'll keep my sewage an air gap away. I'm confident that even in those locales where the plumbing code does not require an air gap on a DW and allows a high loop no plumbing inspector would make a plumber remove an air gap if they installed one. As a side note, softener installs require an air gap on the drain line in most plumbing codes and a while back a buddy of a buddy had a sewage backup and the entire plumbing system was contaminated because the DIY homeowner installed a mail order softener and didn't know what an air gap was so he didn't install one. The entire family got sick and it cost the homeowner considerable discomfort and a fair amount of money to sort that out. |
- Posted by CigarLover (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 12 at 19:08
Hey Bomb, Not sure what you do for a living but I see custom built multi-multi-million Dollar homes being built with Air-gaps installed in the kitchen for the DWs. Anything that protects you from bad bacteria that makes you sick does not sound like over-kill to me. I suggest you look-up how many contractors license specialties/classifications it takes for building in California, then how each trade gets trained (up to 6 years) & then retrained to keep up with the changes in technology, materials/building codes. Your talkin out of school. |
Wow. It's way more exciting over here on Plumbing Forum than on Kitchen Forum. My only claim to cred here is that my late father was a pipe fitter. (Couldn't plumb worth a s**t though, now I think on it.) But I'd go with the air gap for sure. Then again, I live on the highest hill in town, and I bought flood insurance -- to protect my garage full of Volvos. Yes, I embrace overkill. Thank you all for sharing your not insignificant knowledge with a newbie. I actually understand what the blasted thing is now, too, which is saying something. |

I am a plumber so maybe I can shed some light here; Under the UPC you are required to have an air gap. Under the IRC a high loop is permitted, but the problem here is that many DIY'ers and homeowners do not configure the high loop correctly to meet code spec. It is not enough to just hang the drain hose up high somewhere in the cabinet. To meet code the drain line should be attached as high as possible immediately behind the DW, then the line should drop down to the base of the cabinet and run to the drain connection where it rises up to the final connection on a disposal inlet port or a DW inlet port on the sink tailpiece. If you just drill a hole high in the cabinet wall between the sink cabinet & DW location then run the line up through the hole and straight down to the Disposal or inlet port that will not pass. The line MUSTcome down from the high loop to an elevation below the trap then return back up to final connection. |
"cross-contamination of the potable water can occur. " Bovine Scatology. The unit will not hold enough water to submerge the water inlet. Some very old units (especially portables) did not have a supply side air gap, but it was normally built into the adapter that clamped onto the faucet well above the flood level of the sink and proved both inlet and outlet protection. And despite all the (likely) thousands of non-code complaint installations (no air gap or inadequate high-loop) no place has recorded issues beyond urban legend. |

If you haven't a few weeks ago, he caught a rut in the ice at the University of Ottawa and went head first into the boards at a pick up hockey game. The result is now he's paralyzed from the chest down with at least a year of rehab in the hospital and no long-term disability insurance to help his family. Rene and his wife Dianne Douglas have three young children under the age of 5. The community has been rallying together to raise funds to support the family at this incredibly difficult time. One of the latest initiatives is with the The Ottawa 67′s Hockey Club. The Ottawa 67′s will donate 50% of revenue from this week's online and box office ticket sales to a trust fund in Rene's name to support rehabilitation and living expenses for Dianne and the three children. You can support Rene Faucher and his family by attending this Sunday's game against the Guelph Storm. you can order tickets at www.Ottawa67s.com and click on the René Faucher Fundraising icon. You may also order by telephone (613.232.6767) or simply show up on Sunday at the box office in the Coliseum Building at Lansdowne Park or at the Urbandale Centre box office and reference the Faucher Douglas Trust Fund when purchasing tickets. Game time is 2:00 PM. If you can't attend, but want to support Rene, Dianne and the children you can make a donation at any local Scotiabank branch or by visiting www.FaucherDouglasTrustFund.com.

Tragedy Strikes: Ottawa Hockey Accident Spinal Cord Injury.
A personal appeal from David Hollingsworth:
"Rene Faucher is a friend of mine and I urge anyone who can to please donate to support this incredibly wonderful family who have always given to the Ottawa community and now need your help. I personally thank you."
Mr. Rene Faucher, a young father of three wonderful children under the age of five, and husband to Mrs. Dianne Douglas, may never walk again after a serious accident during a casual game of pick-up hockey at the University of Ottawa Sports Complex on Sunday. Faucher, 40, was rushed to Ottawa Civic Hospital after tragically going head first into the boards while playing hockey.
Though he was wearing a helmet, his spine experienced injury and doctors in the trauma unit are unable to ascertain if he will ever walk again. "We have to wait until the spinal shock subsides to understand what the long term recovery road looks like," states Marc, Faucher's brother to CTV Ottawa reporters. Faucher is self-employed and unfortunately does not have long-term disability insurance. Douglas expressed to CTV that she never thought her family would have to deal with such a tragedy: "Coming home to get that call, you just don't ever think something serious would happen to you."
Family and friends, myself included, are now appealing to the community to step in and help in whatever way they can, every donation and expression of good will and support helps. Faucher's brother Marc said the support has been overwhelming.
How You Can Help:
Donations can be made at any Scotiabank Branch, to The Faucher Douglas Trust Fund, Branch 25486, Account 0016713.
Alternatively, cheques payable to the "Faucher Douglas Trust Fund" can also be mailed to the attention of Russ Reil at Scotiabank, Markdale, Ontario.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Morgan!
Facts about Morgan
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Morgan's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Morgan is a very nice medium haired girl between 2-3 years old. She loves attention and to be brushed, she just wants to be with you. She was found pregnant along with her 2 adult offspring from a previous litter. She had 6 more kittens who have been adopted and now it is her turn for a loving, permanent home. She is spayed, has tested NEG for FELV/FIV and has her current vaccines. She would be best to be the only kitty and NO DOGS PLEASE. Her adoption fee is $50.00. Please call Laurie @ 480-236-9453
Other Pets at Kitty Kat Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Morgan, a Mesa Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Mesa, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Mesa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mesa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mesa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mesa paves the way for another one to be saved.

South Africans make semis after stunning display

The Reds' reign as Super Rugby champions is over after the Sharks crushed them 33-17 at the Suncorp Stadium.
The underdogs produced a huge upset, clocking up three converted tries, two penalties and a drop goal.
The Durban-based side will now face the Stormers in an all-South African semi-final.
The Sharks' win was rarely in doubt after they took a 17-0 lead thanks to tries from JP Pietersen and Paul Jordaan.
Charl McLeod added a third after the break while Frederic Michalak kicked 15 points.
The Reds points came through a try and conversion from Will Genia, whilst Radike Samo also crossed. His try was converted by Mike Harris, who also kicked a penalty.
The Sharks may be the lowest-ranked side left in the competition but they stunned the Reds by racing into a 10-0 lead inside 12 minutes.
Former France international Michalak knocked over an early penalty before the South African side manufactured an outstanding try from their own 22.
A fantastic move ended with Bismarck du Plessis' well-timed pass, which created the room for Pietersen to race over.
After Michalak converted the Reds hopes took a further blow as fly-half Ben Lucas, was forced off with a nasty ankle injury.
And whilst the hosts were adjusting to the reshuffle, the Sharks struck again.
Sublime handling on the right touchline allowed centre Jordaan to go clear, and Michalak again added the extras.
Harris put the shell-shocked Reds on the board with a penalty, only for the Sharks to go straight up the other end and respond with a Michalak drop goal.
The Reds desperately needed a try before the break and they got it thanks to their talisman Genia. It was converted by Harris to trim the half-time deficit to 20-10.
But they were dealt a hammer-blow after the break when McLeod read a flat pass from Genia on halfway and seized on it to canter in, with Michalak's conversion the Sharks were 17 points to the good.
The Reds responded by battering away at the Sharks line, and they thought they had got themselves back in it, but Liam Gill's try was ruled out by the video referee who couldn't be sure he had grounded the ball.
The Queensland side finally got their consolation, but Samo's crossing came simply too late.

Is new magnet school process illegal?
By Jonathan Pelto
You can keep Gov. Malloy's "Special Master" Steven Adamowski, and Windham's school administrators on the list of entities and individuals who seem unable or unwilling to follow the state's laws and regulations.
With the lottery to select students for Windham's new Charles H. Barrows STEM Academy Magnet School about to take place, Adamowski and the Windham School System STILL HAVEN'T filed a legally-approved Operations Plan with the State Department of Education and the application form that they have been using inappropriately requests that students provide their social security number.
It is a technique that effectively reduces the number of immigrants and poor who might apply for a seat in the new school.

I am new to gardening and try not to use too many chemicals in my yard. we moved to a new house and the flower beds around the house are populated by blackberries and some little trees i want to get rid off. I also have some nice huge camellias, gardenias and rhododendron bushes in these beds which I don't want to damage. Is it safe and productive to use Round up to get rid off the blackberries? I never used Round up and I wonder if it would slow down the growth of any new plants and flowers I want to plant in these beds. Or is the only right way to get on my hands and knees and pull them out? What about the little trees that i can't identify, is it enough just to cut them off or does my husband have to pull them out with the roots? Wouldn't that damage the root system of the bushes I want to keep?
I am thankful for any suggestions what to do. Have a happy new year and excuse my broken english, I am german... Manu |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can control blackberries in many ways, including by hand. If you do choose to use Roundup, you must not apply the spray to any plants you wish to keep. Any Roundup that hits green plant tissue will be absorbed. However, use of Roundup near desirable plants will not slow down their growth, unless you misapply. It is not soil active, unlike some herbicides. Small trees can often be pulled up without much disturbance to your landscape plants. |
Personally, I would pull out anything that I did not want by hand. Then, as new growth emerges from unwanted vines, etc, I would PAINT a solution of RoundUp on the newest foliage. This can be done with a brush or sponge, etc. Just don't get the RoundUp on your skin. |
- Posted by bamakrautie z8AL (My Page) on Tue, Jan 3, 06 at 12:29
Thank you so much for your advice! Since we have so nice weather here the last two days I already did a lot of pulling out and it's nice to see the progress. i just hope there won't come to much back in spring |
My personal experience with briars/blackberries is that pulling by hand is a waste of time and effort. They always come back and the roots run really deep. I have only had success using Roundup on them and then I had to apply it more than once. Usually 2, sometimes 3 applications are needed. I usually wait 2 weeks in between applications to see if I really need to do it again. Also, I think Roundup works best when daytime temps. are around 80 degrees. I think it says that on the bottle, but I'm not sure. Good luck. No matter what you do, you will always have to fight blackberries because birds drop new seeds every year. So, if you get rid of the ones you have now, next year you will probably discover new ones somewhere else around your house. I like the new sprayer thing (you pump the bottle) that has a very narrow stream as opposed to the wider spray. But I still hand paint some of the leaves of the plants growing around my other plants I don't want to kill. Rae |
Success with Roundup is not closely dependent on temperature, although it does greatly affect the speed at which it works. Its success on perennials is more dependent on the time of the year it is applied. Plants such as blackberry are most affected by Roundup when it is applied in the fall of the year. When sprayed during this time window, it often only needs to be applied once. There are other herbicides that are more commonly timed for use during spring and summer months, such as triclopyr based products. |
Blackberry seeds are viable for approximately 30 years. If you pull or dig them out and 1 small piece of root is left in the ground it will resprout. dig, cut, and spray for a couple years and you'll slow them down alot. |
If you cant remove the whole plant, it is still worthwhile just cutting the flowers off, to stop it seeding, and spreading. I have a big blackberry problem at my place, right now. I am in Australia, just north of Sydney. Today I was removing blackberry, mostly just pulling it out, but I know this isnt effective as if a little bit of root is left in the soil, it will keep growing. I need to poison it, but I have found that roundup is not terrible effective on blackberry. I think I will have to find something else to use. I hate chemicals, but I hate the blackberry as well. Popi |
Roundup can work well, but only if used when the plant is in the autumn stage and pulling sugars into its root zone. More commonly used are forms of triclopyr, which can be used whenever the plant is green and growing. |
So is spraying with roundup, better than cutting and painting ? Solution rates please. It is summer here, and I have been cutting and painting for days, I am going to monitor it and see how effective it is. It is on the council weed list and I have to remove it from my property else I could be fined. Popi |
Generally blackberries, and other brambles, seem to like the same soil conditions that Camelia and Rhododendrons do so unless you eliminate all the roots from them you will see them forever. The single best method of control is to keep the green above the ground part of the plant cut off so the roots do not get any nutrients and eventually starve and they die. We should not be poisoning our planet with weed killers. http://www.guarding-our-earth.com/aggrand/roundup.htm Compiled by Caroline Cox, Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Roundup, and related herbicides with glyphosate as an active ingredient, 1. Glyphosate can be persistent. In tests conducted by Monsanto, 2. Glyphosate can drift. Test conducted by the University of California, 3. Glyphosate is acutely toxic to humans. Ingesting about 3/4 of a cup 4. Glyphosate has shown a wide spectrum of chronic toxicity in 5. Roundup contains toxic trade secret ingredients. These include 6. Roundup kills beneficial insects. Tests conducted by The 7. Glyphosate is hazardous to earthworms, Tests using New Zealand's most 8. Roundup inhibits mycorrhizal fungi. Canadian studies have shown that 9. Glyphosate reduces nitrogen fixation. Amounts as small as 2 parts per 10. Roundup can increase the spread or severity of plant diseases. |
Using Roundup certainly cannot be construed as "poisoning the planet". This particular herbicide will completely biodegrade over time unlike some other pesticides. There is a great deal of misinformation being spread over the internet, the Cox list above, from a non-peer reviewed and deliberately misleading piece, being one of the most frequently repeated. It has been thoroughly countered and debunked repeatedly, and numerous Gardenweb threads have detailed this over the years. This link is to an article that details the issues and shows how misleading the statements are: I've investigated herbicides of all kinds, including Roundup, for several decades. One thing that becomes clear is that herbicides vary greatly in their toxicity, and their potential to cause problems. Roundup is on the low end of the toxicity and environmental effects scale. That is why it is one of the primary products that environmental organizations such as the Nature Conservancy use in their reserves to control invasive plants. If you use it as directed on the label, apply it only to the weeds you want to control, and do not apply it into water, it should not create a problem. In fact it is one of the few herbicides that have been approved for use in sensitive salmon riparian habitats here in the Northwest. It will biodegrade completely over time, and does tend to stay put where it is applied. There are some authoritative summaries of the properties of Roundup, and interested readers can get the real facts from them.

NOTE: Roundup and Rodeo--both are same--made by Monsanto-Rodeo is for aquatic weed control--therefore Roundup is not harmful around or in water====it does take stronger rate for blackberries |
To be clear, Roundup and Rodeo have the same active ingredient, namely glyphosate. Glyphosate is in various products that are approved for use in both terrestrial and aquatic sites. The Roundup product contains additional materials, most notably a surfactant. This detergent-like surfactant helps the glyphosate penetrate weed leaves, however like any detergent or soap it is toxic to aquatic organisms in large enough quantities. Rodeo contains no surfactants and is approved for direct application to water. Roundup is not approved for direct application to these aquatic sites. Labels for all of these products will make it very clear what kinds of sites are legal for their use. |

there is not enough surfactant in round-up to harm aquatic life---jayk stated round-up could not be used near water--WRONG--also anything is toxic in large enough quantities---even water!--a person just died from water toxicity in a contest of who could drink the most(on national news) i guess if you poured round-up in a gold fish bowl that would be toxic---but round-up is used to treat weeds around the edges of lakes and ponds, all the time--by the experts |
The labeling, at least on the containers I have read, says "Do Not Use" this product where it can get into water, ponds, lakes, streams. All of those people that JAYK uses to support those statements are either employed by are funded by the company that manufactures, and sells, the product. They are therefore suspect in their findings. The EPA's ground water research scientists have found more to support the NCAP position than to support even the regulatory side of EPA's people, most of whom once worked for the company they regulate. |
"there is not enough surfactant in round-up to harm aquatic life---" Actually, there is enough surfactant in Roundup to harm aquatic life, if the product is applied directly to water in large enough quantities. That is why it is illegal to use it in that way. Also, I did not state that Roundup could not be used *near* water; it is used all of the time in this way without harming aquatic ecosystems, something I have repeatedly pointed on this and other forums. As to the question of sound sources for information, there is a huge amount of misinformation that is spread on the internet about many subjects, Roundup being one of them. It takes a good deal of time to consult that actual studies to understand what is the actual truth. As for the EPA's "groundwater research scientists", I have no idea what is being referred to specifically, nor do their findings support the incorrect assertions of anti-pesticide groups such as NCAP. Perhaps this statement from the Groundwater and Drinking Water section of the EPA website is useful: "Glyphosate is strongly adsorbed to soil, with little potential for leaching to ground water. Microbes in the soil readily and completely degrade it even under low temperature conditions." Where Roundup has the chance to move off site is when it is applied incorrectly, where it is sprayed on impervious surfaces, or where actively eroding soil can carry the material it has adhered to away. These situations should be avoided by any responsible applicator. Roundup product labels state "do not apply directly to water", using near water is completely legal. The properties of the product make this possible, however other herbicides are different, and may be completely unsuitable for such use. A study that examined various herbicides applied over the long term and their presence in shallow groundwater highlights these variabilities between different herbicides. Residue detections in soil and shallow groundwater after long-term herbicide applications in southern Alberta Miller, JJ; Hill, BD; Chang, C; Lindwall, CW "After herbicide applications for 1-24 yr, there were no detectable residues of glyphosate, dicamba, 2,4-D, bromoxynil or methylchlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) in soil at two long-term tillage sites and one long-term manured site. The only detectable residues in soil were of diclofop and triallate. Residues of bromoxynil, diclofop and MCPA but not dicamba, 2,4-D or triallate, were detected in the groundwater at the manured site. Diclofop was detected in 6% and bromoxynil and MCPA in 2% of 84 water samples collected at the manured site. Maximum concentrations of bromoxynil (6.5 mu g L super(-1)) and diclofop (47 mu g L super(-1)) in the groundwater at the manured site exceeded levels set by the Canadian drinking water guidelines. Long-term application of herbicides has not caused accumulation of harmful residues in southern Alberta soils, but the presence of certain herbicides in the groundwater at concentrations above the level set by the drinking water guidelines is cause for concern." |

I wonder why "old" references are used. Experimental techniques have improved resulting in an increase in the understanding of how glyphosate behaves. The following are recent reviewed scientific papers on the subject of glyphosate leaching: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a794423521~db=all http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VB5-4S0307N-1&_user=5460004&_coverDate=11/30/2008&_rdoc=1&_fmt=full&_orig=search&_cdi=5917&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000062861&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=5460004&md5=ffdf887d3def5629d71bbdf49e700763#sec4 http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jws/ps/2008/00000064/00000003/art00008 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VB5-4TFDY5J-1&_user=5460004&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000062861&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=5460004&md5=e398654164bbf209d7187c8fa0c3131d The following link leads to a 2008 scientific review on the subject. I feel that it indicates that we still have a way to go before a thorough understanding of the leaching effects of glyphosate on the environment: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jws/ps/2008/00000064/00000004/art00019 I have a copy of the full review, but because of copyright, only the abstract can be presented.

Around here, birthdays go on for days. My parents visited for a family celebration of three of their grandkids, our family had a special beach day on her birthday, and then she had a gaggle of girls over for silly, wet, waterpark adventures...homemade, that is. We set up a piece of last year's greenhouse plastic with the sprinkler on it for a waterslide, and then we visited our pond for raft rides towed by our neighbour.
The whole party was outdoors ~ a rare treat because of usually horrendous skeeters. Fortunately, it is really an unimpressive bug year and we are outside all the time this summer! We tried to make a pinata again with Sunshine's favourite friend from next door, but a day later when it was dry, a certain four year old thought it was fun to smush it with a thunderous BANG! before we could even decorate it. Ahhh well, they had fun in all the newspaper scraps we used to make the papier mache. Luckily, once again, big brother to the rescue with his last minute cardboard box pinatas.
On the morning she turned six, her hummingbird came and visited. When she was born, like a fuzzy peach, a beautiful hummingbird came and peeked in the window, of whatever room we were in, every day for two weeks. It was remarkable and delightful. And so, when she opened her eyes as a six year old, there he was hovering by her window.
And so like a hummingbird she is...beautiful and powerful and determined and strong, despite her size. She loves to fly high on her swing, singing songs to the clouds. She loves to twirl and spin and dance around me, darting in to give me sweet kisses that land all over.
My daughter...how lucky I am to have this beauty grace my life. She brings me such joy and warmth and happiness. I am blessed.

Preparing fish - How to clean, gut, scale and skin your fish.
Although your fishmonger will be more than happy to clean and prepare your fish for you before you take it home, if you catch your own fish, or a friend presents you with a huge whopper of a specimen for you to cook for everyone, it would be handy if you knew exactly what to do with it.
There are several stages that must take place before you are able to
the fish and eat it.
First of all the fish must be scaled and afterwards the guts have to be removed. It is essential that these two processes are carried out first, especially when preparing a whole fish.
Next, it depends on whether or not you are going to cook the fish whole and what type of fish you are cooking.
The fish will then usually be skinned, although some types of round fish are generally cooked with the skin left on, whilst with flat fish, the black skin from one side is always removed but the other side is left intact.
If the fish is not to be cooked whole, it must then be
cut into fillets
, steaks or cutlets, which can easily be done with a sharp knife. In some cases, such as with plaice, it is filleted first and then skinned after, as it is easier to do it this way round.
When cooking a large fish whole, remember that the gills and fins must either be trimmed or removed completely.
How to remove fish scales
Unless you are going to fillet the fish or remove the skin, the scales must be removed from the fish first thing.
Start by giving the fish a good rinse under cold running water, as the water will loosen the scales.
Then, lay the fish on top of several sheets of newspaper. This is so that the scales fall directly onto the paper, which can then be thrown away.
Grasp the fish firmly by the tail and with the blunt edge of a knife, start to scrape away the scales, moving from the tail end to the head.
Rinse the fish under running water to get rid of any scales that have not fallen onto the paper.
Turn the fish over and repeat on the other side.
Check that all the scales have been removed by running a finger against the grain of the fish. It is important to remove all of the scales, as you won't want them appearing on your dinner plate.
Alternatively, you can cook the fish by your chosen method and then remove the skin before serving, which would also mean that the scales are removed.
For a moist, juicy fish, remove the scales but leave the skin on through cooking, as most of the moisture and flavour is contained within the skin of the fish. If you remove the skin, you may find that your fish dries out quite a lot and becomes somewhat flavourless, particularly when grilling or baking it.
How to clean the fish for cooking
So, scaling the fish wasn't too bad and the job could be avoided if you cook the fish first and then remove the skin afterwards. Removing the guts though, if cooking the fish whole, cannot be avoided. It is not a job for the squeamish either.
The guts and entrails must be removed from the fish in the same way that the giblets must be removed from a chicken. If the entrails are left inside the fish, it will spoil the taste and flavour and could leave you feeling quite ill.
This process is what is known as cleaning the fish and the methods are different according to the type of fish you are cleaning.
Cleaning round fish
In round fish types such as cod, herring or haddock, the guts are found in the belly of the fish. Therefore to gut and clean a round fish you need to carry out the following steps:
With a sharp knife cut along the abdomen of the fish into the flesh to open it up. Start just behind the gills to just above the tail.
Scrape out the guts and discard. Wrap them up in paper first.
Rinse under cold water to clean and remove any traces of blood.
Rub the cavity with rock salt in order to remove any black skin.
The inside of the fish should now be empty.
You may choose to leave the head and tail in place if you are cooking the fish whole but the eyes and gills must be removed. Alternatively, you can cut the head off just below the gills, through the backbone and cut the tail off too or the tail can be left in place.
In some cases the gills can be removed just by pulling them out, whilst in others you may have to cut them out with scissors. Use the scissors to trim off the fish's fins also.
Cleaning flat fish
The entrails of flat fish such as plaice, sole or skate are located in a cavity that is situated behind the head of the fish. To remove them, a semicircular cut must be made behind the head and just under the gills. Open the cavity with your fingers and remove the entrails with your hands or with a spoon. Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold running water. Lay the fish on a board and open the gills. The gills may be either pulled out or severed at the bone and cut off.
How to skin the fish
Not all fish need to be skinned. Leaving the skin on during cooking will help to retain moisture and flavour, which is particularly useful for delicate white fish such as cod. If you leave the skin in tact, remember that you must scale the fish instead.
Skinning a whole round fish
Most round fish are cooked with the skin on, although the skin can be removed after cooking but before serving.
To skin a round fish such as cod or herring, make a cut with a sharp knife across the skin of the fish, just below the head.
Loosen the skin with your fingers and then pull it down towards the tail in one big strip. Cut the skin off with the knife. Repeat on the other side.
Skinning a whole flat fish
The darker top side of the fish must be removed before cooking, but the white side of skin may be left on.
Lay the fish down on a board and cut gently into the skin, just above the tail.
Place your thumb into the slit and carefully loosen the skin around the sides.
Grasp and hold the fish up by the tail and pull the skin down towards the head.
Cut the skin with scissors.
Skinning fillets of fish
The skin may easily be removed from a fillet of flat fish by carrying out the following steps:
Lay the fillet on a clean board skin-side down and with the tail pointing towards you.
Make an incision into the flesh, at the tail end of the fish. Hold the knife at an angle and cut the flesh away from the skin.
Keep the knife almost flat against the skin of the fish the whole time whilst cutting.
In one big cut, separate the skin from the flesh by slowly and gently cutting from side to side and tearing the flesh from the skin. Hold the tail in one hand and cut the skin off by cutting away from your body.

I went to visit my doctor last week and he put me on yet another prescription medication! I am already on several, and adding another one to my daily routine is not only overwhelming to keep track of, but also nerve wracking because of all of the new potential side effects I may experience. He assured me that the prescription drugs I am taking do not interfere negatively with each other and have very few side effects, but I was still concerned.
He decided to get me set up with MedWatcher. MedWatchers is a side effect tracking application which offers users comprehensive information on nearly every prescription drug available, and even has a place to report a undocumented side effect. My doctor helped me to create a log in ID and walked me through the website. He showed me how to research all of the prescription drugs that I am taking and learn about all of the potential side effects. He also walked me through the process of reporting a side effect. You see, many side effects are documented after clinical trials or if the drug has been on the market for years, but every once in awhile, someone has a reaction which is undocumented by the FDA. MedSeeker allows these people the opportunity to report this side effect. First, you log into the application. Once you are logged in, you are asked a series of questions about the medication you are taking. They will want to know the name, the dose, why you take it, what time of day you take it, if you take it with food, etc. Once they have all of that information, you will answer a series of questions about your own health, to help them determine why you experienced this particular side effect. Once you finish filling out these questions, the form will be submitted to the FDA within just a few short days. Not only will this report be sent to the correct FDA office, but it will also be shared with the MedWatcher community so others can hear about your experience. This is one part of the application I particularly liked.
That evening, I went home and began my research. I read about all of the prescription drugs I was taking and even did research on my new one. It was great to read all of the information about side effects and information from the FDA on the safety of the drugs. I found it particularly interesting to read other people's experiences through the reports of various side effects. Many of the side effects were ones I was aware of, but some were ones I did not know could be a side effect from my medication, so I now know to look out for them.
Now that I'm taking so many medications, it is great to have a place where I can go to research my side effects to see whether or not they are serious. I feel much better now that I have MedWatcher to help me keep track of my medications!

Much mirth at yesterday's culture, media and sport select committee hearing on press standards, privacy and libel when Mark Thomson, of formidable litigation specialists Carter-Ruck, took issue with the claim that he and fellow lawyers were charging up to £650 an hour for their services. Thomson insisted that the standard rate at his firm was £400 an hour. This prompted the Tory Ribble Valley MP, Nigel Evans, to wonder aloud if Carter-Ruck was "having a sale", which caused gales of laughter all round. Except, of course, from the row of lawyers who defend libel cases for media companies seated directly behind Thomson, that is.

The Blue Arrow circuit starts about half way around the Red Arrow circuit. The trailheads for the Red Arrow circuit are located near the Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre or to the east of the Tanks Art Centre. The Red Arrow track passes through a rainforested gully and uphill through open woodland to two lookouts, providing great views of Cairns city, the coast and the busy Cairns airport.
... moreThe Blue Arrow track begins with a steep 600 metre climb to a lookout with views of the coast north of Cairns and a glimpse of Lumley Hill. The track divides into a circuit, which can be walked in either direction. The right branch passes through rainforest and open grassland before climbing steeply towards Lumley Hill. The left branch climbs through rainforest on stairs created by the roots of rainforest trees. Halfway around the Blue Arrow circuit, a short, steep 400 metre side track climbs to the summit of Lumley Hill, 325 metres in altitude. The summit offers expansive views stretching inland to Red Peak Mountain and off-shore to Green Island.
This walk climbs to over 300 metres altitude on a track that is sometimes steep and narrow and requires a moderate level of fitness. Allow plenty of time to complete the circuit walk before it gets dark- do not start after 2.00pm.

Flatpanel Mounts
Apr 21, 2010 12:00 PM, By Mike Keadle
Long known for its custom mounting solutions, Display Devices is no stranger to the flatpanel-mounting market. The company's line of flatpanel lifts offers lift solutions for up to 50in. displays. The TFT55/75 series is configurable to either lift a display out of furniture, or to lower a display from within a cabinet. It supports screen sizes of up to 20in. wide and 17in. high.
The PL-2200i and PL-2600i lifts are designed to raise a medium-sized display from within millwork or cabinetry. Also offered are options of IR and RF control, as well as an optional closure frame for adding custom millwork. The PL-3000 and PL-3200 series raise and lower displays up from higher ceilings. The 3000 series is designed to support up to a 63in. display. The 3200 series offers a slimmer profile and supports up to a 50in. display. The Display Devices' flatpanel lift products feature extremely quiet operation, timed control motors accurate to within 1/4in., and finger-safety guards where appropriate.
Draper's Flatscreen Lift's design is much more slim and compact in the stored state, yet it rises to a maximum height of 2.4 times taller than its stored height. The lift only requires 2in. of height in the furniture above the display height. This compact design saves space and allows the lift to be placed in a wider variety of furniture and enclosures. Draper Flatscreen Lifts feature universal display mounts and offer drop-in installation. An attachment is also included, allowing a finished look at the bottom of the display by filling the gap with a trim piece matching the furniture. They are available in three sizes: the FSL-F-42, which fits up to a 42in. display; the FSL-F-50, which fits up to a 50in. display; and the FSL-F-65, which fits up to a 65in. display. IR and RS-232 controls are optional.
OmniMount's OL200FT mount combines fixed and tilting mounting, with 3-degree, 5-degree, and 7-degree increments, into one 2in.-deep design. It is universal and VESA 75x75-to-400x800 compliant, fits most 42in.-to 70in.-panels, and supports weights of up to 200lbs. An easy-to-install, single-wallplate design provides support for the mount. It features OmniMount's Lift n' Lock attachment system to allow easy attachment of the display to the mount. Installation is further simplified with the included mounting template and complete hardware kit. Not overlooking any details, OmniMount also includes end caps to ensure a clean side view of the display and mount, as well as providing a locking system to secure the display to the mount. The OL200FT is part of OmniMount's eco-friendly OmniLite series of products. With that in mind, the packaging is slim to minimize waste, and it features the instructions and mounting template printed on the inside of the box. Topping it off, the OL200FT features a five-year warranty.
Peerless Industries has solved a long-standing problem by offering the first direct corner-mounting solution for flatpanel displays in the industry. The CM mounts attach to both walls of a corner and allow the use of compatible Peerless flat and tilting wall mounts. The mounts are available in two sizes: The CM50 is capable of supporting displays from 32in. to 50in., and the CM60 supports displays from 40in. to 60in. Both mounts are available in black and silver finish.
The CM850 mount attaches to both corner walls as well, but it also includes the SmartMount SP850-UNL pull-out mount, which allows the display to be pulled out 11.9in. from the mount and swiveled up to 45 degrees for proper viewing.
Peerless' new SUA750PU is the world's thinnest fully articulating mount, according to the company. It is designed for 37in.-to-55in. ultrathin displays weighing up to 100lbs. Keeping with the aesthetics of these thin displays, the SUA750PU only extends 1.1in. from the wall, providing a truly low-profile mounting solution.
