Belle Vernon, PA, Mar 21, 2011 -- UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Press Release
Dawn Knepp 717-237-2286
Groundbreaking Ceremony Held for Washington Township Sewer Project Phase II
New sewer collection and treatment facility will serve 1686 residents in the Washington Heights, Arnold City and Lynnwood areas
Belle Vernon, March 21, 2011 – A ceremonial groundbreaking, held today for the Municipal Authority of the Township of Washington's Phase II Sewer Project, marks an important day for over 1,686 local residents. Congressman Mark Critz (PA-12th), officials from USDA Rural Development, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers participated in the groundbreaking.
Phase II of the sewer construction project area includes the areas of Washington Heights, Arnold City, and Lynnwood areas. The areas are currently served by on-lot sewage systems, which are malfunctioning and allowing raw or partially treated sewage to be discharged to yards, roadside ditches, roadways and nearby streams. There have been numerous sewage related complaints concerned with the seepage of partially treated or inadequately treated wastewater to roadside ditches within the project area. The existing system is inadequate and poses a constant threat of bacterial contamination for the area residents, as well as fish, wildlife and downstream property owners.
"Not only will this project improve health conditions and the quality of life for the people who live here, but it will save home owners tax dollars and help remove barriers to economic growth," said Critz. "This is the kind of success we can enjoy when we just talk to each other and seek common sense solutions to problems that touch us all."
"The untreated sewage that is currently flowing into the local watersheds and the resulting health and environmental concerns will be removed with these improvements. This project is an example of how USDA Rural Development is helping to protect the environment throughout rural Pennsylvania," said Tom Williams, Rural Development State Director. "And, this project advances the Obama Administration's economic recovery goals to rebuild the nation's infrastructure by creating jobs."
USDA Rural Development is providing a $5,466,300 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) loan administered by the Water and Environmental Program which provides loans and grants to ensure that the necessary investments are made in water and wastewater infrastructure to deliver safe drinking water and protect the environment in rural areas.
"The Corps of Engineers is proud to be a part of this project," said COL William Graham, Pittsburgh District Engineer. "This project will not only improve the environment and quality of life for citizens of this area, but will promote economic development."
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is providing $2,000,000 of Section 313, South Central Pennsylvania Environmental Improvement Program, funding to support the design and construction for Phase 2 of this project. Section 313 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 established this program to provide design and construction assistance for water-related environmental infrastructure and resource protection and development projects in 15 counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Section 313 Program authorizes Federal assistance to provide design and construction oversight to communities for projects involving wastewater treatment and related facilities, water supply, storage, treatment and distribution facilities, and surface water resource protection and development projects. These projects directly improve the environment and the quality of life in the program area and contribute to the national goal of improving environmental quality.
Phase I of the project was funded through $11 Million in PENNVEST grants and loans, $1,000,000 provided through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, $950,000 grant awarded from The PA Department of Community & Economic Development under the H20 PA Water Supply, Sewer & Stormwater Act, and a $100,000 PA Safe Water grant.
USDA Rural Development serves as the lead federal agency for rural development needs by offering financial and technical assistance to individuals, businesses and communities. USDA Rural Development programs include funding for day care centers, fire trucks and other community facility projects; the purchase, construction or repair of homes; loans and guarantees to rural businesses to save or create jobs and renewable energy; and loans and grants for water and sewer utility projects. For more information on programs offered by USDA Rural Development, contact the Pennsylvania State Office at (717) 237-2299 or visit its website at www.rurdev.usda.gov/pa.
President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 into law on Feb. 17, 2009. It is designed to jumpstart the nation's economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.

I was watching one of the news programs last night. I don't remember if it was ABC, NBC, etc. They had tstest a bunch of cosmetics, creams, tanning lotions, etc. among a panel of just regular woman, like us. I remember one of the best was Aveeno Rejuvenating moisturizer. Did anyone see this new broadcast?
Does anyone remember what channell it was on? thanks. I do remember that White Rain shampoo was the shampoo the woman liked the best. Imagine, White Rain. and they said it cost $1.00. And it wasn't of bunch of expensive stuff. Just wondering if anyone remembered it? thanks. |

Thyroid Cancer: Screening
Screening is a way to evaluate people without symptoms to determine if they are at risk for cancer or have already developed cancer.
Screening involves:
- Assessing your medical history and lifestyle habits that may increase or decrease your risk of thyroid cancer
- Testing to identify early signs of thyroid cancer
Screening Guidelines
According to the US Preventive Services Task Force, there are no official screening guidelines for thyroid cancer. Testing is only recommended for people who are experiencing symptoms suggestive of thyroid cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, all people between the ages of 21 and 40 should have their neck, lymph nodes, and the area directly over their thyroid gland examined (palpated) every year.
There are some healthcare providers who think that people with a higher-than-normal risk of thyroid cancer should be periodically screened. Factors that lead to a higher-than-normal risk include the following:
- A history of exposure to radiation
- Family members with either multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) associated thyroid cancer or non-MEN associated thyroid cancer
If members of your family have a genetic defect (a change or mutation in the RET gene) that increases the risk of medullary thyroid cancer, you should strongly consider having genetic testing done to determine your personal risk and the risk of transmitting this gene to your children. The screening blood tests include: calcitonin and RET proto-oncogene. This type of cancer may arise during childhood and at a very young age. Thus families may wish to openly discuss the risks and benefits of genetic testing to determine the frequency of screening among members.

Volkswagen Cabrio
edith7 Posts: 1I have a 2002 Cabrio with 163K miles and the car shakes when I turn on the A/C, it's in drive and I'm at a stop. The RPM gauge fluctuates below the 1 and up to the 1. I have a secondary air injection code from the check engine light and I'm not sure if these are related. What can be causing the car to shake when I am using the A/C?

It makes sense that this DU landmark stands near the center of SciLands. Corbin and DU physics professor Robert Amme have used their development of the Science School to establish DU as a key player in this online science consortium, and the university now enjoys a hefty reputation in online science and technology circles.
If only they could get the real school to care.
So far, DU administrators haven't gotten on board with Second Life, but they may have to soon as a result of Corbin and Amme's latest and most ambitious endeavor.
"Have I shown you the core?" asks Manbi, referring to the nuclear reactor being built under his direction with help from a Nuclear Regulatory Commission grant. With a whoosh of blackness, we teleport away to the reactor's construction site, with Manbi, at the last moment, noting ominously, "It's still unfinished."
Can virtual people be harmed by virtual fallout?
Back in the real world, hidden away in DU's physics building, is a small, cluttered room behind a door marked "Defect Products," where Corbin oversees the Science School. Two computer screens, one showing Second Life, sit perched amid Doritos bags and soup cans, piles of paper and tangles of electrical cords.
Corbin himself sort of resembles his eyeglass-wearing avatar, though Manbi has a lot less grey hair, prefers neat button-downs to Corbin's rumpled Hawaiian shirts, and exudes calm confidence where Corbin displays hints of nervous awkwardness. Manbi can also fly, which he's doing right now, soaring over the Science School.
The land below — including a detailed version of the Rose Center for Earth and Science in New York City, complete with working exhibits — is largely vacant.
While the Science School features enough interesting exhibits and buildings to attract a small but steady stream of visitors — science geeks, professors, college students, random avatars out for a stroll — its big draw is the open-air auditorium, which hosts the weekly in-game version of the hit NPR show Science Friday.
During a recent show, a small crowd sat in the venue, chatting via text windows about the day's topic and asking questions to "Ira Flately," the virtual radio-show host. It's sort of like being at a real-world taping of the show, the difference being that attendees are pirates and aliens and a Barack Obama look-alike with angel wings. On this occasion, turnout was just a few dozen, though Corbin notes that the event has drawn hundreds. "I've met so many people," he says. "What cracks me up is I became famous through my avatar."
Corbin is the perfect fit for his virtual museum curatorial duties. He's always been an idiosyncratic tinkerer, obsessed with capturing the intricacies of science. Growing up the son of an oil worker whose job took the family from Aspen to Libya to Casper, Wyoming, Corbin preferred losing himself in his chemistry set to excelling at schoolwork. "I wanted to make a bomb," he explains. "As kids like to do."
He didn't go to college, at least not in the traditional sense. While living in Denver in 1984, he spotted a National Geographic with a first-of-its-kind holographic cover, and its murky three-dimensional eagle blew his mind. "I have to do this," he said, so he enrolled in the San Francisco School of Holography, one of a number of such schools that opened in the 1970s, where he learned to make the images with lasers, lenses and beam splitters.
When he got back to Denver, he became volunteer assistant director at the one place around that might possibly use his training: the Colorado Science Center, a hands-on science museum then based in City Park Pavilion. He loved every part of the Science Center: its two-way mirrors, its sparking electrodes, its Mars Viking Lander model. "It really turned me on to the hands-on aspect of science," he says. "Kids wouldn't be so turned off by science if they could play with it."
Corbin wasn't the only one interested in turning kids back on to science. The Second International Science Study, conducted between 1982 and 1986, found that U.S. high school students were trailing many European and Asian countries in science achievement, and were even doing worse than their American counterparts from the 1970s.
Corbin befriended another Science Center volunteer who was equally passionate about figuring out what had gone wrong in science classrooms: Robert Amme, a DU physics professor with a fashion sense as colorful as his academic interests. Over the years, Amme has spearheaded projects to transform coal plant waste into usable concrete, to reuse tires as paving for recreation trails, and, possibly hardest of all, to inject enthusiasm back into math and science curricula.
"He's brilliant. He's excited. He has the enthusiasm and curiosity of a kid," says Corbin of his colleague. "Most people link that sense of wonder to neuroses."
"Jeff and I complement each other," adds Amme. "I have the formal training and many, many years of teaching to secondary-school teachers. And Jeff has all the technology know-how. We were a natural pair."
Even this dynamic duo couldn't save the Colorado Science Center, however, which closed in the late 1980s due to dwindling attendance and funds. "That was kind of a drag," says Corbin, who tried unsuccessfully to find a new location.

text: you asked... Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I have already had to go up two cup sizes and it seems that my bra is tight once again! How can I accommodate my growing bust size without investing a fortune in new bras? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I have already had to go up two cup sizes and it seems that my bra is tight once again! How can I accommodate my growing bust size without investing a fortune in new bras? Good question! I had the same problem. While there are bra back extension bands on the market, I have not come across a wonderful bra with a cup size that grows with you. For that reason I had to purchase a number of bras during my pregnancy. I found out the hard way that you get what you pay for -- budget bras I bought were quickly replaced with quality, professionally fitted maternity numbers with ample support and comfort.You may not be able to avoid the expense of buying bras, unless you have a friend like me who passes on her Amazonian intimates to pregnant friends once she's done with them. But you can at least find some solace in the notion that what goes up must come down, so you'll be able to wear the sizes you outgrew when you begin to lose the baby weight.One thing you should consider if you need a new bra and are planning to breastfeed is a nursing bra instead of a regular maternity bra. A quality nursing bra will support you until you have your baby and it will become even more useful after the fact.Whatever you do, make sure you buy a great support bra fitted by a pro. It may be expensive and about as sexy as grandma underwear, but as you can probably already attest, nothing trumps comfort when it comes to the ever-expanding bust line of a pregnant woman. Allison Micarelli re: Q: Handling bigger boobs? Does anyone know where I can get nursing/maternity bras in a size H or bigger? I know, they're huge, but I was a size DDD before pregnancy. Mama Grande | re: Q: Handling bigger boobs? I recently asked for advice at a maternity shop on what is normal during pregnancy. I felt awful, like something was wrong with me when I left there. The lady told me that something was wrong with my breasts if I was already increasing in cup size at only 25 weeks; I should only be increasing the other number. I was worried until my doc finally set my mind at ease. cprn | re: Q: Handling bigger boobs? cpm-I cant believe she made you feel that way!...bigger boobs is exactly how I knew I was prego, my bra didnt fit and my shirts were suddenly 2 in too short b/c of their increased size....they have only gotten bigger....regardless of the fact that I'm 23 weeks and am still down 5 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight....I ended up going with a full coverage bra rather then a demi, it tends to give you more room to grow, especially if you combine it with a bra expander. mykatydee | re: Q: Handling bigger boobs? I wear a G or an H cup regularly and you can get comfortable and beautiful Bras from the Wizard of Bras, you can look them up and purchase online. They are based in so cal. redhotsubstance | re: Q: Handling bigger boobs? i had to go up a cup size within a few weeks of finding out i was pregnant. I purchased a nursing bra to wear when I need exta support but mostly I wear a tank top with a built in bra under my work clothes. It allows for more room to grow with out having to purchase new bras every couple weeks. frf1537 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? My boobs growing was my first clue i was pregnant with my cheat being sore, because it's never been that way before so i just had to wait for the test to say pos so i could say i told you so lol. But my mom did a little trick for me and she took me to Target and got me a bra that was 3 or 4 sizes higher then what i was. I was a B34 and she got me a C36 i think, but i'm still wearing it only because i'm slowly growing into it untill i will need a bigger one. Try that with Maternity pants too, you can always pull them up untill you fill into them, this saves money and time. blackdollhouse66 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I buy my bras from Bravissimo.com They are based in Europe. They are kind of expensive but they are the best fitting, most comfortable bras I have ever found. I wear a 36G without being pregnant and they have almost any size you can imagine. Kristi09 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Go to the Bravado design website. There they carry bras that grow with you. The silk seamless nursing bra is my favorite and I wear it right now at 30 weeks pregnant. This bra will stretch as you grow. You can go to their site to see who carry's their bras locally and some have fitters especially for their bravado bras rrocky | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I use to work in a lingerie dept in JC Penney. and for women who had "expanding bra sizes" (lol) I would reccomend the Bali bras with no underwire. believe me, they are not the cutest thing but they are comfy and are good enough to sleep in too. They come in different colors and can be ordered online or in a catalog for larger sizes. I hope this helps!! I am TTC right now (for about a month with no luck :( ) but that's what I plan to buy if my girls get out of control! Hope this helps! mrs_sherrill09 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? i am 6 weeks and mine are already bigger...they are so hard and they hurt something awful..all the time. luckily i still wear my same bras but mainly bc if they are supported pretty tight they hurt even more. this is my only symptom so far....is this normal. i mean they are huge! gent678 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? My first pregnancy I went from a B to a C then back to a B, and with my second I went from a B to a D and then to inbetween a B and C. Now I'm between a C and D and I'm only 5 months, and 5ft1in in height. I hope I don't get too big, I'm too short to get bigger than a D and not look funny. pinkpixie11303 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I WEAR AN A AND THEY ARE A C NOW AT ROUND 7 WEEKS MAN THAY NEVER BEEN SO NICE BUT THEY HURT LOL jermainesbaby2010 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I'm at about 7 1/2 weeks and I've already gone up a cup size! Possibly a cup and a half. I'm living out of one bra right now that I got from Lane Bryant a few months ago that has the bubble padding thats removable for when you wash them, so when my bust started growing, I just popped out the inserts and it was like having a brand new bra! I also keep making the shoulder straps longer which gives me a little more space. IamSubmarine | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I bought a great maternity/nursing bra at Mimi Maternity for about $18.00. It expanded w/me and I used it while I nursed my youngest child. I am now 7 weeks along w/y 3rd and I have grown 1 cup already, so a trip to buy a new bra is in order! Matthan2b | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I am definately going to need the same advise you are asking for. I am only 5 weeks and I have already gone from a B to a C!!! I am not very comforable with wearing sports bras either.. suzyq678 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I am almost 8 weeks and my breasts were bigger before i even knew i was pregnant! Actually my husband noticed :) Then it all made sense when we found out! I can not wear my bras i am also wearing tanktops with built in bras under everything! I am almost afraid of how big they're gonna get if they are growing this early! babycoe11 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Your breast size increases based on your prolactine levels, at least this is what my ob and my endocrynologist told me. I have a pituitary tumor that made my prolactine levels go through the roof and I wasn't even pregnant! (I went from an A to a DDD and even started leaking milk!) Now that DH and I are pregnant and I know that my levels will increase I'm terrified of how big that I will become! mississippiwifey | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Oy...I"m at 5 1/2 weeks and haven't started yet. I'm not looking forward to it, because I'm already a large C cup in a small 5ft, 112lb frame. I don't want to look like a cartoon character!!!! When do you usually start growing? njmamatobe | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I'm 7 weeks and have gone from a 32C to a 32DD in what feels like overnight!! My boobs are my #1 symptom - they hurt so much it's shocking i have to be in some kind of bra at ALL times.... - and my OB says to brace myself, that it WILL get worse and they WILL get bigger... ugh!!! isadoras18 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I am at 30 Weeks and got couple of Bravado nursing bras from a maternity store. They feel amazing. One is with underwire and one without and i love both. They are pricey at $50 but well worth the money. I am hoping they expand and last throughout pregnancy and nursing time frame. BTW - i was a 34C before and now I am a 36E. grishmabatra | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I finally sucked it up and went to Motherhood this weekend and bought a bigger bra. I was a 36C and was fitted for a 38D. I'm 17 weeks and I've been dreading buying new bras, only because I hate to waste the money if I don't really need too. I invested in a nursing bra because a friend of mine said she was glad she bought those while pregnant because afterwards it was incredibly helpful as she was losing weight and nursing. tamara0827 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? multi strap bra and also invest in a adjuster you can get them from beterware catalouge which you clip onto the hooks on the back .and gives you two exta back inches. suziehart3476 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Anyone here have implants before pregnancy? I'm curious to how the pregnancy and/or breastfeeding affected them. HeatherAndAndy | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I am 6 weeks along and haven't noticed a change.. Is there something wrong? kmoldenk | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I had that problem when I was pregnant with my two and I found that wearing a sports bra helped it was comfortable. It just depends on how much support you want. Sports bras have some support. LizzieB69 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I've given up almost completely on bras. I bought a bunch of sport bras, a size larger, so I'm having room to grow. i'm a small girl 5'3" and 145 pre-pregnancy. But I got so sick my first three months I lost 25 lbs! And my stomach and boobs kept growing. Now I look so weird with my stomach so big and my boobs so large (they are a 34-D!) My husband is shocked because I'm only 22 weeks and I can't see my feet! He says I wasn't even this big the day a gave birth to him. I'm actually kinda nervous there is a hidden twin or something. SammieBear88 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Man, you all are lucky because I am 12 weeks and my boobs have not changed, still a 38b. They never changed with my first pregnancy either... boy am I getting jipped! Lol. BabyHansen | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I'm 23 weeks and some odd days pregnant right now. I had to buy 3 bras so far. My boobs were a DD but now they are outgrowing an F. Does anyone know where I can go to buy bras to fit bigger than an F. The motherhood maternity only goes up to F's in my area. I tried going to lane bryant. I know they will just keep getting bigger and i'm dreading the engorgement that happened last time when the milk comes in. I looked like I had two watermelons on my chest. ammunro | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I hear ya! My breast grew from a full 34A to a full 38D! it seemed like ever time i turned around my boobs were bigger. I just mainly stuck to larger sports bras and wore multiple layers. But, when i felt uncomfortable doing that i just got one size bigger and put a sports bra on over the bra to keep everything secure until i grew into it. So far its worked tiffanator13 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? RE: ammunro I am TTC and I'm already extremely busty and hands down, the 3 best websites for larger cup sizes are barenecessities.com, figleaves.com, and bravissimo.com, the last being a UK company. These companies carrry cup sizes up J-L, including nursing bras! Whatever size you increase to, one of these sites will carry the perfect size for you. Congrats and good luck! sanriobaby | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? During my 1st pregnncy my boobs went from 34b to 38d so to aviod spending a lot of money on bras I just wore sports bras. They were a whole lot more comfortable anyway. bjones86 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Mocky, you are a blessing! I was having trouble finding bras that are 32-34E before I was pregnant, now that I have out grown the cups I didn't think I would ever find cute nursing bras that were G+. Your post is a tremendous help! faerynpooka | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? im almost 26 weeks, and i havent really had to change sizes yet just got a nursing bra. im a 38D bfore pregnancy and im only 4 foot 7 inches... ive never been over 89 lbs either so... i hope they dont get any bigger! leahsmommy2be | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I'm only 6 weeks, and yesterday I finally gave in and bought a new bra. I've never worn such a big bra. I'm in a DD, and I'm only 5 ft.

JessicaTheLoved | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? i am 6 weeks preg, and i have sore, bigger breasts, it was my first sign of pregnancy, it's hard to sleep at the moment because my breasts are sooooo uncomfortable and very sore and it has already made my upper back ache due to bigger breasts ^_^ . is anyone going threw the same. CT26 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I'm only 4 weeks and my boobs are quite sore and hard in the middle! They are growing, but one seems to be growing much more than the other. The one growing more has always been larger than the other pre-pregnancy, but it feels like it's going to explode! Is this normal? melijake | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I'm not quite 17 weeks, and my breasts have grown tremendously. Normally a 34D and I don't even know what I am now. I've yet to be fitted. However, what I'm wondering is, has anybody experienced one breast growing larger than the other? I feel as though my left breast is growing much more signifigantly. Will this continue? Any knowledge on the subject would be great! iplay4him | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? CT26: I have had the same issue as you. My breasts are sore, but at night sleeping they are even worse and have woken me up at night. The best advise I can give you is get a supportive comfortable bra to sleep in...it does wonders. I have also found hugging a pillow when laying on my side relieves the pain. I don't have any idea why since they hurt to touch, but it is one of the most comfortable ways I have found to sleep. MThorsby | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? For those of you who have outgrown your local department or lingerie store's sizes, I would try the store {intimacy}. I was a 34 DDD before I got pregnant and now I'm up to a 36 I (yeah, I didn't know they made bras that size previously). The bras at {intimacy} are a little more expensive, but they are very high quality and I've been very happy with the bras I have gotten there. They sell nursing bras too, which although are not fashionable, are quite comfortable and will come in handy after our little boy is born. For those of you who aren't very far along and are having pain, don't fret, it goes away after the first trimester (or at least did for me). Best of luck! rachelcolinoct9 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? Jo-Ann Fabrics carries bra extenders in a 2 or 3 pack. i know it just prolongs the inevitable.

I would go with sports bras. They fit any cup size and are nice and stretchy. I had to do that with my son. I went from a B cup to a DD. I wasn't about to go out and buy a new bra every couple weeks. the best part is you'll probably still be able to wear them after you have the baby. meaghan198 | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I am 8 weeks pregnant and my boobs are not sore and haven't grown at all. I have always been small chested barely an A cup 5feet tall and 110 pounds. That would be my luck.

However, I'm enjoying the feeling of being a "busty betty" for the meantime. I've heard from quite a few, including my mother, who started out very small busted that pregnancy is what it took to actually have a larger, more proportional bust size and they never lost it.

I know how you feel and there isn't much we can do except keep on buying bigger bras! firstname.lastname@example.com | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I feel your pain. I am 36 weeks pregnant, and went from a D to an F. With only four weeks to go, I am praying they don't get too much bigger. Motherhood sucked at fitting me, and their return policy with bras is horrible. I ended up going to a lactation center at the local hospital who had a store, and although it's not the sexiest item in the world, I have NEVER had a more comfortable bra. I suggest contacting your hospital to see if they sell them, because those nurses won't sell you a bra that doesn't fit right. theatregator | Q&A: Bigger boobs during pregnancy? I am almost 10 weeks now and already busting out of my bras. I was a 34B and probably a 36C by now.

I was like you eluino78 I just at 16 weeks decided to purchase 2 new bras and it is so nice! I went to TJMaxx and bought a beautiful CK bra normally $36 for only $10. I also bought a bunch of really nice clothes for work. I just bought the next size up for now since I am not too much bigger (other than my boobs). As soon as the word maternity is slapped on the label so is a higher price! I figure after the baby I can wear these same clothes again until I get back to my regular weight.

Chávez: "Public" channel will replace RCTV
EL UNIVERSAL Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez late Tuesday announced he has selected the members of the board of directors that is to conduct a new "public" television channel that will replace Caracas-based private TV network RCTV as from May 28. Chávez' Government has decided not to renew a broadcast license for RCTV, arguing that this 53-year-old television station was involved in an attempted coup d'etat in April 2002. According to the Venezuelan ruler, "one microsecond following the events of May 27 at midnight (expiration of RCTV broadcasting license), a free, entertaining, healthy, educative, enlightening programming that spreads our own values and culture should be aired" on the radio frequency signal currently operated by RCTV. "I am not going to disclose any names ahead of time, but this is a great board of directors comprising real journalists, real fighters." He added he assessed the intended programming of the new TV channel during a meeting with Executive Vice-President Jorge Rodríguez, Minister of Communication and Information Willian Lara, and Minister of Telecommunications and IT Jesse Chacón. President Chávez denied claims that his refusal to renew the broadcast license for RCTV has political motivations. "This has nothing to do with politics. This goes even deeper, and has moral grounds, because of the damages this TV channel has caused to our country: anti-values, broadcasting of bastard values, violence, hatred, racism, inappropriate approach to sex issues, disrespect for women, boys and girls, homosexuals, and handicapped people, and disrespect for the country and the world." Chávez rebuts Drug Czar claims "Venezuela is not even a producer. We have eradicated all of the drug crops we have found here. The thing is that the empire is trying to mislead the world with lies." Further, Chávez praised the current process of registration with his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Despite media reports claiming that the process has been a failure, he said, the truth is an unprecedented turnout has been recorded. Translated by Maryflor Suárez R. |

2013 and earlier Volkswagen Touareg Lease Questions
carb1776 Posts: 13Hi,
Lets see...5500 miles.
The brakes squeal like a pig at every stop and they can't be fixed says the dealer and now at 5500 the DRIVE shaft is defective and needs replacing. I have owned Honda's and Toyotas and done nothing but oil changes for the first 60,000 miles. The vehicle drives well, but not worth the headache unless you happen to live next to a VW dealership which has technicans and managers who want to repair your car. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're very welcome, bassmiesternj. The easiest way to get a good deal on a lease is to negotiate the lowest possible selling price on the vehicle that you want and then have the dealer calculate its monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Just make sure to specify that you want the dealer to work up a lease without any down payment.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi Sebis. Unfortunately, Volkswagen's lease program on the 2006 Touareg TDI is not very attractive right now. If you were to lease this truck through Volkswagen Credit right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00301 and 53%, respectively.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Thanks Kipa :blush: . I'm glad that you find this discussion so helpful. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am sorry to say that Volkswagen's lease program for the 2006 Touareg TDI is not very attractive right now. If you were to lease one through VW Credit for 24 months with 10,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00301 and 65%, respectively.

panzer Posts: 125I sold my 2004 Touareg a few months ago. Miss it alot, but not the visits to the dealer. The brakes never made a sound when I kept the wheels and brakes clean. I've been following this board since the beginning and don't recall many complaints about noise, except for what I call crud squeek, common to German and Swedish cars with metallic pads. You have to carefully wash your wheels and brakes by hand, using a high pressure stream of water directed at and around the calipers. The car wash won't get it. A little compressed air wouldn't hurt either. You see the black dust on your wheels - it's gotta go away every week or two. The problem is worse where it rains alot. The dust turns to rust and sticks tenaciously to the brake parts. Japanese SUV's don't have the problem because they use a hard, organic pad. Their cars don's stop for beans either. For a 5500 pound truck, I think the brakes have very impressive performance. My complaint is the cost of almost $2000 when it comes time to replace pads and rotors at about 40000 miles.
The drive shaft thing has been going on for years. You'd think they'd have that figured out by now. Takes a couple of hours at the shop and that should fix it for good. I had to have a new transfer case at 1500 miles. Never a lick of trouble from it afterward.
If you want to drive German cars, you better get to know and love your service department. The same goes for Audi, Porsche, BMW or Mercedes from what my relatives and friends tell me. Some of them cover all required maintenance for a few years in the vehicle cost, which you end up paying for anyway. Of course you could always drive a Japanese or American SUV if you wish to sacrifice a little driving "soul." I bought a Ford Explorer V8 and it isn't too bad in the soul department, but it is crude compared to the VW. Never thought I'd buy a Ford, and no, I do not like the door pulls and it is not even close to as good off-road as the VW. Lots of power, comfortable seats, good stereo, good brakes, good in the snow, decent handling and tows well. -
jholley Posts: 3Matt, I have been trying to find out if there is any difference in the 06 and 07 diesel. I have an 06 V8 and love it but dealer has a great deal on a left over diesel. But. I want to know if any difference in the 06 and 07 diesel engine. No one there can tell me. Thanks, Jim Holley
vwdallas Posts: 1I am considering leasing a 2007 Touareg V6. Because I like the standard features, the base model is fine with me. Unfortunately, I've never leased a car before and don't want to make a bad deal.
The dealership has a "deal" of $399/mo for this car. My trade-in will knock $6,800 off the price. I'm looking for a high-mileage (20k mi/yr) 3-year lease and was tentatively quoted $475/mo, net of my trade-in.
Is this a good deal? What should I "beware" of?
Thanks... -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi vwdallas. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the Touareg that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.
I see that you are considering trading in your current vehicle when you lease your new one. There's nothing wrong with doing this, but it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments when leasing. Those who make them risk losing their money if their car or truck is stolen and never recovered.

goodrics Posts: 6Hi, can you please tell me what the money factor and resid. % are on a 2008 Touareg 2 Base Model. The MSRP is $40,000 and the invoice is $37,224 (I am not sure what my price would be) and I would like $18,000 miles/yr. Length of contract does not matter between 36 and 48 months. Also, no money out of pocket.
Thanks -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey goodrics. Volkswagen Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Volkswagen Touareg V6 in your area with 15,000 miles per year are .00111 and 54%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease are .00173 and 47%. 15,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that VW Credit publishes residual values for. If you need to drive more than this, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It is less expensive to do so at lease signing than it is to wait until the scheduled end of your lease and have to pay an excess mileage penalty.

jkenik Posts: 6I have a loaded '05 Touareg v6 w/ just under 19,000 miles, and 10 months left on my lease. Payments are $450, and there is a $21,000 buyout at the end of the lease. KBB trade-in is about $27,000. I know what the obvious option is, but I do not want to fold current lease into a new one. I was thinking that, because of the low mileage, that I might be able to strike a favorable deal with the dealership. Do I have any chance in making this happen, without having to put down $$.
Thanks!! -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey Jabber. Here's the information that you're looking for. Volkswagen Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 VW Touareg V6 with 15,000 miles per year are .00122 and 52%, respectively. This truck's 12,000 mile per year residual would be 2% higher and its 10,000 mile per year residual would be 3% higher than the 15k resid. VW Credit charges a $575 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases.

alakate Posts: 4I am currently leasing my 2006 Touareg. I know that I am going to be over the mileage and am considering buying as I love this vehicle. Lease ends 02/2009.
The MSRP was $38,080.00 My adjusted capitalized cost was $32731.00
Purchase Option/ Residual Value is $20,886. What do you think. Is this purchase price worth it? -
kyfdx Posts: 31,811You can't buy it at that price, now.. That is the purchase option price at the end of the lease.. after you've made all the payments...
Are you asking if it will be worth $20,886 in February of 2009? With a lot of miles? Probably not..
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs -
kyfdx Posts: 31,811If you post a description of your vehicle in Real-World Trade-In Values, an expert can give you a good idea of its wholesale value..
Normally, buying a lease out early isn't that great of a deal.. but, if you are going to be over on your miles, and you plan on keeping it, it might be beneficial to do so.
Good luck,

elgupaso Posts: 4Carman,
Do you know what is the money factor and residual value for a 48 month lease with VW credit?
Is this a good deal?
40k MSRP, $2500 VW owner loyalty, $37500 Negotiated selling price, .00098 money factor, 53% residual value, 8.25% CA sales tax, 39 month lease and I would carryover $2600 from negative trade-in. The payment I got quoted was $517.00 with tax included. -
scottinky Posts: 194is this lease deal worth it given VW's reliability? This is such a beautiful
vehicle! Just not sure it is worth trading in a soon to be owned and paid
for car on to have warranty. VW is one of the few manufacturers to offer
Sirius standard, and that makes a big difference since I am a sub. -
jack97 Posts: 1I received the following lease offer on the Touareg V6 with the luxury package:
12k miles a year
39 months
money factor .00117
Residual Value 22,737
I believe the sticker is 42,900
$0 out of pocket due at signing with the Sign + Drive event
$596 per month inclusive of taxes
Is this a good offer? Has anyone out there gotten a better offer? -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I'd be happy to, Jabber. Volkswagen Credit's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 VW Touareg V6 with 15,000 miles per year are .00098 and 51%, respectively. This truck's 12,000 mile per year residual would be 2% higher and its 10,000 mile per year residual would be 3% higher than the 15k resid. VW Credit charges a $575 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi elgupaso. The money factor that you were quoted for this lease is right in line with Volkswagen Credit's current buy rate for this model. That is a very good thing because it means that the dealer you are working with is being very straightforward with you about this aspect of your deal.
As far as this truck's price goes, Touareg that you are interested in probably has a spread of around $3,100 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. As long as the $37,500 selling price that you were quoted doesn't include the $2,500 loyalty discount it represents a price of around $600 over invoice, which is pretty good. Still, it wouldn't hurt to stop by the "Volkswagen Touareg Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar trucks lately.

An age old problem I know... but despite my best efforts
to glue the offending stile to keep it from expanding each summer, I am now faced with the same problem , same interior door, again. Before I take the clamps to the door to tighten it up (now that drier air exists in the house), so the door will close efficiently, does anybody have any long term solution to this problem apart from replacing the door. (Fyi, we're dealing with a four panel clear pine, stained, urethane coated interior door. Thanks.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The usual solution is to seal the top and bottom of the door so moisture can't get in. I've been in 80 year old houses that have never had these sealed. Ron |
It's probably not the stiles expanding but the panels in the door. They are too big or glued to the stiles. The panel need to be able to float in the door so that they can expand and shrink. If the stiles and rails can be pulled apart then do it and adjust the panels so they float in the door. |

Should I tell relatives we didn't get what we need at our shower?
Recently my mother-in-law and sister-in-law threw a baby shower for me. My husband and I created a baby registry, but not one person used it. Instead of getting baby gear, we got a lot of clothes that we didn't need. Since then several family members have asked if we got everything we needed at the shower. Should I tell them the truth?

I tend to lean on the side of appreciating the gifts you did receive. Most folks want to give a lovely gift to a new baby and let the parents give the practical things. With relatives you have close contact with, you could be more upfront. Baby showers are to help get you started and to welcome your little one, not to supply everything you cound ever need.posted 12/05/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I also got tons of baby cloths and multiples of items at my baby showers. Although I was gratefull for all of it, like you, we needed a few big ticket items for the baby. I went through the bags and what I could find with receipts I took back and exchanged for a bassinet and diapers. My baby still has plenty of clothing and blankets, but now she has somewhere to sleep too. I told my relatives that I had to return a few things because I received so much, and they understood because I bought something else that was still used for the baby. If you can't do that though and you still need help, tell your family. They want the baby to have everything it needs just like you.posted 12/05/2006 by mommy1meg
be tactful, but yes, tell them you didn;t get what you relly needed!posted 12/05/2006 by sobxfiredancer
I wouldn't say anything. I work in a baby shop - and a lot of people that come in looking for a baby shower gift want to get something 'special', not something that mum and dad would be buying anyway. Enjoy the extravagant things that people have bought for your baby. It's your baby - you buy the necessities.posted 12/04/2006 by Beau's Mum
Don't complain about free lobster! This is a saying my husband and I came up with when at our wedding, someone complained about the lobster we served. It was nice of you to do a registry for others convenience... but that really is what a registry is for... essentially a shower is a "polite" way of asking for gifts... so to also tell people what you expect and truly expecting it is a little rude... if people want to use suggestions given to them; great.... if they didn't use the registry... I guess they did not need it... they already knew what they wanted to do. If you feel like you have too many clothes, donate them to a thrift store... where people who can't afford the new stuff r don't have other people buying for them have to shop.posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I registered for what we needed and lots of people skipped the list. Fortunately they at least shopped where I registered (Target) that way I returned the things I didnt need (how many identical tiny fuzzy Pooh blankets can you really use anyways? and 3 bathtubs!). I combined all the returns and there were a lot!! I used the store credit to get the larger pieces of nursery furniture that I still needed. I still have one more lot of things to return (my baby will be born bigger than some of the clothes to start with) and I have some store credit left over and I plan on getting the much needed breast pump that I otherwise couldnt afford. This way, when people ask if we got everything that we needed, we say yes and that all the gift cards came in handy too.posted 12/04/2006 by elftoy
I am a grandmother and have been thrilled to buy for my grandchildren. i would buy anything my daughters need. They do not take advantage and are very grateful for anything they receive. With my first grandchild,my daughter's co workers went together and purchased an Exersaucer. It provided many hours of enjoyment for my grandson and we always thought of her friends as he played/ . Reading these responses have opened my eyes to what I would buy if I attend a shower. i haven't been one to buy clothes that often,but I will definite buy from the register or give a gift certificate the mother can use towards a more expensive item. judy H.posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
We were in this situation also and were simply able to take the things we didn't need or received two of back to the store without having a receipt - as long as it was in the original packaging with all the tags - and they gave us store credit to spend there on the things we did need. No feelings hurt, didn't have to ask anyone for receipts - people still got to have fun shopping for baby clothes and we still were able to get what we really neededposted 12/04/2006 by alysongm
Grrr. Stuff like that always annoys me. If people know you have a registry, and then deliberately don't use it, I think THAT is rude, as opposed to being honest when someone asks if you got everything you need. You can definitely be tactful about it, but my feeling is that if they're going to ask, they had better be prepared for an answer other than, "Oh no, we're great!". Again, this is a great reminder to ASK if a person has a registry somewhere, and if they do, then USE it. Yes, you can buy other cute things, like clothes and toys, but I would think bottles, diapers, a stroller, and so on would be much more useful. I have a registry myself, and when I have a baby shower I will make a definite point of telling people.posted 12/04/2006 by fairyjosie
If they are asking it's because they wanna know. Tell them the truth. Lying to be polite usually isn't the best policy.posted 12/04/2006 by Brown_Sugar_99

Rather than calling voters stupid, I prefer to call them naive and short-sighted. Voting for a Democratic challenger because you don't like the incumbent's Republican party affiliation is neither impressive nor rational. This is the classic "lesser of two evils" voting strategy, and it is naive and short-sighted because it simply replaces one bad choice of political representation for another. When was the last time the American public approved of the job Congress was doing? Does anyone expect the next Congress to get high approval ratings because we have a different party in control? As long as Americans continue to use the "lesser of two evils" voting strategy, control of the US Congress will continue to be passed from one group of underqualified power mongers to the other, with the opposition party promoting themselves as "the party of change" and the naive, short-sighted American voter eventually taking the bait.Comment originally posted on November 8, 2006 9:21 PM
ARE American voters "dangerously ill-informed" as Ilya Somin once argued in a piece for the Cato institute? The Senate results in Rhode Island suggest that at the very least, voters know something about how their government works. While Ocean Staters actually approved of Lincoln Chafee's job performance, they opposed the war in Iraq by a huge margin, and recognized that while they liked Chafee, his Republican affiliation was not what they wanted. This all shows an impressive degree of consideration and rational strategic thinking by Rhode Island voters. Whether they made the right choice is not particularly relevant—what is interesting is how they came to make the choice they did.

Once upon a time, a king told his men to search for a simple way through which people could learn wisdom.
The king's men scattered around the world to find it. After years of searching, they had gathered thousands of books that taught wisdom to people. But when the king looked at the large mound of books, he said,
"It would take a whole lifetime to read these books. I need something much simpler than this."
So the king's men selected the top 100 books, but still he was not satisfied. Then they narrowed it down to 10 books, but the king was still not satisfied.
Finally a single book was selected. Again the king asked them to narrow it down—first to a chapter, then to a page, then to a paragraph, and at last to just one sentence. For a long time the men searched for the single sentence of wisdom that would satisfy the king. The sentence they finally chose was this:
"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
It means that you must pay a price to get what you want in this world.

Other topics covered include: federal investments in research, science and technology; patent trolls; advanced manufacturing; wireless spectrum; PPACA and more.
It looks to be a fairly quiet week on Capitol Hill. Members of the House are out of town, back in their congressional districts for a constituent work week. Meanwhile in the Senate, the America COMPETES Act—which funds government research and development initiatives and STEM initiatives—is up for reauthorization and will be the focus of a hearing by the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.

I'll also be making myself a new profile banner/icon/header. I'm not sure on what to put on them yet. If you have any ideas please share, can't promise I'll use them though, nevertheless ideas never hurt.
While I'm making banners and images for profile I'll be making some for my union too. Also check this.. I got a union request today.. from the leader of a union that's the same basis as mine too! I know mines not one of kind, but how arrogant to invite me to their union when I have my own of the same nature. I had NO idea who this was, they weren't on my friends list or anything. I figure they spotted me off the union recruitment forum, when I made a post for my union. So union wars anyone? It'd be fun, but no. They'll cream mine, expierence and more time being established.
Anyway, I got off topic there. I'm making images for my union, news posts, and such, I'll also try to do more with the union in the next few days too. Well, that's all for now.
Thanks for reading, peace!

Hi there! I have decided to try seeds! I would love to get my hands on a heated propagator with variable temp control I am having a heck of a time finding anyone that has these! Do you know where I can find? I would be willing to get one shipped from the states to my dad's montana adress then he would drive it across the border to me. Please! Anyone! I am so frustrated over this. I have never had such a hard time finding products for gardening in my life! |

Not to sound blunt, but are you sure you need a germination mat and/or a thermostat? What seeds are you planning on trying? SCG |

germinator/propagator, aren't they the same thing? I want the heat mat that had variable temp capability or thermostat, dome with humidity control, seed tray., |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 12:49
Okay, I was just trying to save you money. Unless you are trying to germinate seeds that have a very specific, often high, temperature you don't need to waste money on all that stuff. For most vegetable and flower seeds room temperature falls within the optimal range for germination. Most germinate a little faster slightly warmer so placing them on a warm surface, like the top of your fridge, is all that is required. Instead of the germination dome you can use a piece of saran wrap over the container. I bought all that stuff and now never use it unless I am doing a very large batch (500+ seeds of one type) or very expensive seeds. Then I will set the temp at that species optimal temp. Good luck. SCG |
- Posted by danesnpits none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 13:36
Thanks for the reply! I am actually going to give a go at Bonsai Desert Rose - Red White Flower, Adenium Obesum, Blue Mini Angel Trumpet Flower Seeds, Iochroma Australis, Black Bat Flower Plant Seeds, Tacca Chantrieri, Vigna Caracalla Flower Plant Seeds, Corkscrew Snail Vine, Blue Passion Flower Vine Seeds, Passiflora Caerulea and Rare Tropical Hibiscus Seeds, Rosa-sinensis. I am thinking that I need heat for these, and a steady heat? |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 15:46
Yes, appears you did your homework. :) Many of those species require high and steady heat to germinate. One thing to consider is that there is a vast array of optimal temp's there, some seeds will fry at 30C. You may have to either have a couple mats or stagger germination. If your somewhat handy you can buy thermostats at your local plumbing and heating wholesaler. You can get them so you can direct wire from 120v without a relay. Then you can use it for a multitude of applications, including keeping ambient temperature up in a mini greenhouse for sensitive plants. I use the Emerson 16E09-101 for a few reasons. First, it goes to -40C. Second, it has a long probe sensor allowing me to stick it in soil or read ambient air temp. Lastly, you can control the cut in and out temperature to as small as one degree giving you very consistent temp. It is a little more money but I use it for many applications. It is simple to wire and I would be happy to help you if needed. Use "germination mat thermostat" in google for better results if you want to buy a commercial one. SCG |

You have been super helpful SouthCountryGuy!!!! What do you think of these products? One link is for the hydrofarms hot house, then the grow light and thermostat. I hope this will work, as its fairly cheap. I can get it in the states, as my dad can drive across the border from Alberta in Montana to get it and bring it back. http://www.hydrofarm.com/product.php?itemid=7706 http://www.hydrofarm.com/product.php?itemid=3372 http://www.hydrofarm.com/product.php?itemid=2516 |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 31, 13 at 15:29
Well i don't think I would buy the hot house in a package like that. For one the peat pellets are, IMHO, not very good. I personally don't use small seed starting trays for plants I plan to grow in pots for any length of time. Every time you transplant a plant it will suffer set back to some degree. So if you can start them in larger, say 4" pots, they will usually grow bigger faster. I'd suggest buying 1020 trays and inserts or pots to fit them. You can buy them all separate for a reasonable price, including the domes. http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/category/flats-trays-inserts http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/category/seed-starting Links showing you basically the same things for a better price. Unless you only plan to use the light for starting seeds you are going to out grow it very, very fast. A standard tray is 11"x22" so you will only be able to get one under it. I also think that you will want more light when the plants get bigger. I would go with minimum 4 lamp 4' fixture for 2 trays. Have a good one. SCG |
- Posted by danesnpits none (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 7:40
Thank you so much for this info! I heard too those pellets are bad! I was at Early's Farm and Garden yesterday in Saskatoon and they had those 1020 trays. They said they could custom build me a tray dome with their products, and get me the proper heat mat with theromstat. They said I didn't have to go with all one brand like that kit I showed you. I will definately go with the 4 foot for 2 trays for sure! You have given me such great insight. I am so glad you responded. |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 12:16
Glad you found what you needed. It is a lot of fun starting plants from seeds. I will warn you that you should buy more lights than you think you need as you always run out. Also, if you plan to grow plants under the lights for a long period of time (months) figure out what size pots your going to need, probably minimum 4 or 6", if not bigger. We all seem to start as many seedlings as we can only to find out we don't have enough room or lights. For example if you plan on using 4" pots and have one 4 bulb 4' fixture you will be able to fit about 36 pots under your lights. We ALL started too many seeds the first time. Look forward to seeing some pictures of your plants. SCG |

T520: Unable to support more than 2 displays via docking station?
I have some trouble enabling more than two monitor displays. My T520 is connected to a docking station which has two digital video output, which are in turn connected to two NEC monitors.
For some reason, when I go to Windows | Display Settings, it will not allow me to turn on all three displays at the same time. I can either have a) both monitors on or b) laptop display + 1 monitor.
Whenever I tried to connect to the 3rd display, it will automatically switch off the 2nd display.
My other colleagues with T420 are not having this issue. The T420 & T520 use the same docking station so I don't think that's the issue.
My initial thought is to update the Video Driver which I did but still not working. The T420 has a nVidia card whereas T520 has an on-board Intel one.
The T520 with Nvidia Optimus can support up to four screens, while the T520 with Intel only graphics card can support only two screens.
If you need more screen support, you can consider USB2dvi, eGPU or Vidock.
For more on the various specifications on the T520, please refer to the following resource.

The problems with Tol Barad (and how to fix them) {WoW}

Guild size cap and the WoW Insider reader guild {WoW}
Oct 7th 2010 5:50AM If this were the case, then Blizzard's own statistic's suggest they have nothing to worry about...

Oct 7th 2010 5:48AM "That seems... irrelevant..."
Its been stated many times already, you may wish to review some of the other comments, however it is relevant because it means Blizzard's statistics on the number of guilds of a certain is inaccurate, hence any decision they make must be in some degree flawed (even from their own perspective as a business, they'd be better off with accurate data).
The guilds that have split up are in the same boat as those who have gone over the soft cap, they are just managing it differently. Both groups would like the same outcomes (more or less), and are therefor "affected".

Oct 7th 2010 5:44AM Guild achievements are capped in any case, the 600 limit is likely to have no real impact.

Oct 7th 2010 5:35AM I'm not sure I buy the memory argument. Sure, 600 is divisible by 8, but thats presupposing that the underlying mechanism for storing the guild roster is somehow related directly to memory consumption, which is pretty unlikely at that level of abstraction. The data will be stored in a database, where it is more likely to be the length of individual fields which affect memory, rather than the number of fields themselves. Its also unlikely to be related to the UI or bandwidth constraints, as the Auction House has managed a large data set for some time, and that seems to be working okay.
ESRB issues apology over email leak {WoW}
Jul 13th 2010 10:55PM This is pretty inexcusable. Any organisation which takes email privacy seriously NEVER uses mass-email to communicate, but has in place a system which is CAN-SPAM compliant and protects the privacy of its stakeholders. Such as system would automatically preclude an event like this from occurring.
The fact that an organisation with the level of responsibility of the ESRB does not have such a system represents a serious management failure, and I would have thought it had potentially serious legal ramifications, let alone issues of trust or responsibility.
You have to ask what else they are getting wrong...

Phat Loot Phursday: Onyxia Scale Cloak {WoW}
Aug 21st 2009 1:31AM You still need at least a tank with this to take down Nefarian without serious grief, even at 80. And everyone else has to stand behind the throne... but after that its cake.
