Adderall overdose: How much amount of Adderall to OD?
An Adderall overdose can be fatal for adults or for children.
And even if you don't die during an Adderall overdose, OD'ing on Adderall can cause permanent damage to your body. So can you prevent an unintentional Adderall overdose? We'll review the risk factors for Adderall overdose as well as recommended quantities for safe dosing to avoid Adderall death cases here. We invite your questions about Adderall and overdose at the end and try to respond to all Adderall questions promptly.
How does Adderall overdose happen?
In general, the time Adderall stays in system depends on dosing frequency and amounts, but it can be detected in urine for days after last use. But sometimes people take too much Adderall? How and why?
There are a few reasons why someone might take too much Adderall. Adderall helps people with sleep disorders like narcolepsy stay awake, so it can be used to try to increase alertness, But increasing the frequency of Adderall dosing or the amount of Adderall that you take is an easy way to unintentionally overdose on Adderall. Taking Adderall for getting high can also result in an overdose. And some people overdose on Adderall as a form of self-harm or as part of a suicide attempt.
Adderall overdose – How much is too much?
One special danger with Adderall is the fact that it's often prescribed to children suffering from ADHD. In fact, it is much easier for a child to overdose on Adderall than an adult because of the difference in body mass. The fatal amount of Adderall varies from person to person. And even normal doses of Adderall can (infrequently) cause sudden death. In general, 20-25 mg/kg of a person's body weight is considered a fatal dose.
In children – The typical dose of Adderall is only 2.5-5mg per day. It should never be given in doses larger than 40/mg per day.
In adults – Adults may receive anywhere from 5-60 mg of Adderall per day, depending on their situation. But even at normal therapeutic doses it can be dangerous and cause stroke or sudden death. As little as 30 mg of Adderall can be dangerous to some people, while doses as high as 500 mg have been reported as safe in people with chronic exposure and histories of Adderall abuse. 70 mg in one day is considered the maximum safe daily dose.In a 150 lb adult, the fatal dose would probably be about 1360 mg.
Adderall overdose complications
Cardiovascular problems are the biggest risk of overdosing on Adderall. But Adderall can cause heart and lung problems even at doses lower than OD range.
Adderall overdose prognosis
In an emergency Adderall situation, you'll need to receive immediate medical attention. The prognosis will depend on a number of different factors, including your own size and body chemistry. Because the results of Adderall overdose can be so unpredictable, it's best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Adderall overdose amount questions
This medication should only be taken in the doses recommended by your doctor. And Adderall abuse (taking Adderall to get high) poses a real risk of death and overdose. You're increasing your risk of overdose when you snort or inject Adderall.

What should one do durring a over dose? Besides of course see a doctor. I guess a better question is what should one do if there wasn't a doctor while overdosing?
if you take a few pills,like i did today, and afterwards, you feel like you might have taken too much adderall, what should you do?puke it up?
Hi Stewart. I'd suggest that you call you local poison control center for more information on what to do. You can call the national poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222 to be connected. Also, more help here: http://www.aapcc.org/
152 lbs. 9:40pm yesterday, took 4 30 mg. capsules. This happens to me reasonably frequently, I forget my meds in the afternoon and don't watch the clock when I go get them, so I accidentally take them in the late evening, but this time it turns out I DID get my afternoon meds and I took the meds in the evening a total of three separate times I'd estimate probably about 20-35 minutes apart. (I was watching TV and didn't have my phone w/me to check the task off. My normal dosage is 60 mg a day and I'm 14 years old. (It should by this point be fairly evident why it is that I have to be on 60 mg a day (1 30 mg tablet in the mornings usually about 7:30am, and then another 30 mg tablet when I get home from school about 4:45. Anyway, it's now like 6 am and I haven't slept at all (I have insomnia so I'm used to that) and I'm also used to the sick to the stomach hypertense feeling of having taken 2 or 3 pills by accident IN THE AFTERNOON but I didn't eat anything yesterday so pretty much completely empty stomach and the whole nausea hypertension thing is a lot worse, I'm not gonna OD (I've actually been on WAY higher doses then right now and was fine, but I was wondering if u knew of anything that help with the stomach, (whenever this happens it takes like 3 days for the Aderall to exit my system and I generally lose 2 or 3 pounds from being so f*****g hyper and never slowing down and while I do need to lose some weight, this isn't really what I had in mind. (If it helps, I play the saxaphone, and whenever I'm coming down off a dose like this, like the next day, I can't play because when I try to blow steadily into my instrument I can't because my diaphragm and stomach are shaking)
I have a friend of mine who called me in concern for her grandchild. He is 10 years old now and has been on Adderall for 5 years. Last year, he developed mild muscle tics in his right shoulder and right arm. She called the doctor and immediately told her to stop the adderall, and she did. This was 6 months ago. These simple muscle tics has led to more severe tics only on his right side. His knee going up to his chest. His right arm flailing, facial tics, excessive humming. When she returned to the doctor for more answers, he explained that he was born with tics. And because he was reaching puberty, they were just coming out. I'm not a doctor, however I am a teacher at a school that he attended for the first 5 years. Last year he moved to Grand Island as a healthy young boy, and know cries because he can't stop ticcing. (Also, I'm not sure what dosage he was taking, but she found out that the dosage was higher than what's prescribed by an adult) Could Adderall cause this much damage to a young boy? Especially if he had too much? Please reply and if you could advise what to do, we would very much appreciate it.
Hello Debbie. It is possible that the boy has a pre-existing condition of tics. However, Adderall contains a general precaution regarding patients with tics and Tourette's syndrome. Check out the following FDA website for more information. You can file a complaint with the FDA and get in touch with a neurologist for follow up diagnosis and treatment.
I weigh about 145 lbs, I'm 5'9″, and 19 years old. I took 40mg of adderall at about 6p.m last night. I experienced intense headaches and stomach pains accompanied with nausea. After getting no sleep i started to vomit at about 8 a.m this morning and have been feeling nauseous every since. I have only taken adderall once before.
Hello Brian. I'd suggest that you report these symptoms to a doctor…and check in with a pharmacist to confirm how often similar symptoms occur for other Adderall users. Do you have a prescription for Adderall or were you just trying it out?
ampheta s/combo 30mgtab barr would 750 mg be fatal in a 6hr period
Hello curious…Call 1-800-222-1222 to be connected directly with the Poison Control Center who can advise about possible poisoning.
Hey, im very concerned I might have possibly overdosed and not known. First and foremost I weigh 150 pounds I stand at 5ft 11in. I was on 70mg of adderall xr everyday for 2 weeks straight, my main concern is if this is enough to cause brain damage? I had many of the symptoms of an overdose the last day of the 2 week period I was taking it…. did I possibly od? Also I was not taking it to get high I was taking it for exams I had the last 2 weeks of school. I don't want to see a doctor about this because I plan on going to the military and this would automatically disqualify me from getting in. Feed back and answers to my two questions would be much appriechiated, thanks!
Hello Calvin. Hmmm. I have not heard of brain damage as an outcome of amphetamine use at high doses. However, you can call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 or contact a local pharmacist for more information,. Given that you'll be applying for the military, you'll probably have a full physical and be evaluated for cognition, at which point you can also see the results of where you are in terms of mental ability.
My sister took five 10mg Adderall and she weighs about 125 and is 15 years old my mom and her are on the way to the hospital, will she be okay?
Hello Joe. You must be worried about your sister! Adderall overdose can be treated by administering medications. Standard management of stimulant overdose includes neuroleptics, but benzodiazepines can also be used to control possible delirium and agitation. You can read more about the treatment protocols here:
How is your sister doing now?
I've taken 25 20mg over ghe past 3 days…..is that an overdose?
Hello Paulette. Please call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for help in identifying, diagnosing, and getting medical recommendations for this dosing.
Let me begin with this is 100% true and I thank God that it did not turn out much worse. Among numerous other meds prescribed by my psychiatrist I was on 30mg of Adderal as needed up to 3 times a day. In a suicide attempt I took over 200 30mg pills along with over 100 other pills including Ritalin, Intuniv, etc and a magnum of wine. Amazingly, I survived with no current visable side-effects. PLEASE be careful with this medicine!
I'm prescribed 60 mg of adderall a day in less than 24 hours i've taken 200 mg. i feel fine just getting hot and sweating alot. I have abused meth and adderall in the past I have a high tolerance.
Hi guys! Wow, Lucky you're very fortunate! Might not be if you tried again, & i hope you have sought out & received the help you need to be OK! ?
Pauline: i also always had a high tolerance to drugs & back in the day, I also abused Meth ,& all kinds C2 Rx drugs lol) tho 0 @ sametimesame time tho. Diagnxd w/ adult adhd so my Pdoc rx'd three 30mg tablets daily. Pfff i never followed that! Did I mention @ the time I was tiny like about 120 lbs & only 5'4. Also w/ extra tabs. the night was more fun & exciting. Lol. Also, for sure I always sweat too, & usually pretty hot, I was still maintainimg work & staying upright, LOL! & & did very well @ my job! Well 1 night & lucky was just standing on a rubber mat–& I blacked out & when i awoke, had soppimg wet pants & a sore tongue from biting on it hard during the Grand Mal Seizure. Lucky didn't go into coma post g.m seizure & not wake up cuz that can happen on Adderall OD as well. in ER dr knew was from my Adderall Rx cuz he's all you took too much Adderall, didn't you? I said yep & shut up. Did you most addicts w/various drug choice say seizures are 'par for the course'?
Lastly, I had never OD'd even once during 3 yrs chronic meth use! Honest to God! Peace out!

Hello Jamill. Call 1-800-222-1222 to get in touch with the Poison Control Center to assess your risk of overdose and to get suggestions for how and when to seek medical help.
I took a total of 90 mg of xr adderal over the span of 2 days. Now I feel sick to my stomach and all dried out and my side hurts. I haven't gotten any sleep and didn't eat hardly anything. I am 145 pounds and age 23 and I took it to get hi. Am I going to die or whats going on with me ?
Hello Eddy. The dose you took is not considered to be lethal by doctors. However, your symptoms are on the list of side effects from Adderall, including your sleeping problems (insomnia), dry mouth, abdominal pain, loss of appetite. Medical professionals advise people to stop using the medication and call their doctor upon experiencing any of those side effects. You should definitely see your doctor ASAP.
Adderall withdraws are horrid. THEY SUCK.
I'm lexie I'm 15 I weigh 130 pounds and I took 2 15 mg adderall and now I'm laying in bed and I can see my heart beating out of my chest but I feel fine what should I do ?
Hi…I take a 20 mg of adderall in the morning and another 20 mg at noon and then at 5:30. I take a 30 mg tab is that yo much to take in 1 day I'm 5 ' 11 255 lbs plz let me know thanks for your time
Hello Dave. Please check in with your prescribing doctor or a pharmacist about the limits that are best for you, personally.
Hi Lexie. When someone takes adderall, the heart rate and blood pressure can increase. Another side effect you may experience are palpitations of the heart. Tell your parents and have them take you to a doctor for examination.
My 23month old just found my 6year olds meds and took 10mg. I cant get him to the ER what should i do?
Nessa, act fast! Call 911 or get to the ER somehow. He needs medical assistance ASAP.
Hi. I am a 14 year old girl, 116 lbs and 5 feet tall. I do not have ADHD but but I don't focus on cyberschool very well and was introduced to adderall about a year ago to help me focus. I would take half of a 20 mg pill once a day and it would do the trick. After school was out I stopped taking them but school has started again so I have started taking the adderall again. At around 1:15 in the morning on Sept. 4th, I took a whole 20 mg because I was a bit behind on work. This kept me awake all night before I decided to get some rest at around 10:00 am. But at midnight on Sept. 5 (tonight) I took half of a generic pink pill which is 15 mg I think and it's making me feel very odd. I'm actually very tired and not alert like usual. I have a killer headache and my head also feels very heavy. My heartrate is fairly normal though. Basically I'm just incredibly worried that I have overdosed on adderall. I don't know if the previous 20 mg pill was out of my system by the time that I took the 15 mg. I really just need to know if I'll be okay or not.
Hi… my fiancé recently passed away and we just received the toxicology report saying that his levels of Adderall were just above the lethal dose. They said his was 550 (blood level) and 500 is lethal dose. My question is he only took a total of 5 30mg tablets that day and I read on your site that a lethal dose is over 1000mgs so if he only had 150mg how was this a lethal dose? Why did the medical examiner say that, who is correct?
Hi Connie. You can Call 1-800-222-1222 to get in touch with the Poison Control Center. You will talk to a poison expert over the phone, and he/she will help you assess the risk of overdose and to get suggestions for how and when to seek medical help.

Hello Irina2525. See the number in the comments above? Call the Poison Control Center on 1-800-222-1222. It's over-the-phone and free. You'll tell the poison expert on the other end of the line what you took, how much and what's happening now. They'll tell you what to do next.
I took one 30mg of Adderall and experienced what others have said. I took one about 3pm and at 2am that night. Bam! I was pissing every 15min palms were getting sweaty. My hands and feet got numb and tingly. And my heart was beating not really fast. But hard! Then it would beat out of rhythm and I had short breaths as if I was on a freefall ride. I accepted the fact I was gonna die that night. Said my prayers and passed out. But I woke up and here iam! BE CAREFUL WITH THAT STUFF! LOL
I am 17 years old and have only had a very low dosage of adderall a few times before. Im interested in taking a 30mg pill for a few tests i have tomorrow, but i am concerned about how ill react to this higher dosage. I weight around 135 pounds and measure about 5'8. I am not perscribed to adderall and i dont really have any other experience with "uppers". Would it be safe for me to take the 30mg?
I take aderal for pleasure once a week and it usually last a couple days. ..I'm averaging 1000 to1500 milligrams during this time…. I want to stop because I know I can die by taking these extreme amounts… what can I do to stop this addiction?
Hi Annie. I don't mean to be patronizing, but I hope you do realize that taking a medication that you don't have a prescription for, is considered to be abuse. I'm aware that many students take it to enhance their earning abilities, but I do believe it's a high dose to start with.
my 4 year old great grandaughter took about 7 adderall pils she is in the hospital inanother state what are the results of this will she be ok.
I took 40mg of adderall at once with no perscription , just to get high , its been a day and im glad i havent died , but the high is over now and i feel like a hangover today. Any suggestions? Im 14.
I have been taking 20 mg of adderal for several years. My doctor began 6weeks ago to ween me off by gradually reducing my dosage. I came off completely 3 days ago. Since yesterday I have been having severe abdominal pain. I just spoke to my doctor who doubts if it is a result of coming off federal. He said it sounds more like a gastrointestinal problem. However, I read that this could be a withdraw symptom. I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me?
i weight 125lb and i took 200mg its sunday night and i took them friday my blood presser has lowered and i fainted at one point walking up stairs. i have notice the veins in my skin are hiding and i am wondering if this is permanent. note i get really bad head rushes anyways and i am no longer in pain but blood flow feels constricted. i have not eaten either. will my blood flow return to normal?
Hi Gary. 200mg is quite a lot and nowhere near the recommended safe doses. Call the Poison Control Center on 1-800-222-1222 for a free over-the-phone assessment of the risk of overdose. Their poison experts will suggest what you should do next, but blood pressure isn't something to be overlooked.
DEV24, you are having what's called a panic attack.
Panic attacks are completely non-life-threatening, as is 30mg of amphetamine. You are not even remotely near lethal or even toxic dose at 30mg. That is, unless you have a diagnosed or silent heart defect, as in the several of the very few confirmed death cases.
This blog exploits the readers' general lack of understanding about drugs (and medicinal chemistry in general) in the interest of fear-mongering that doesn't really match up with the facts.
By the way, here is just one study about the relative toxicity of racemic amphetamine (as found in Adderall):
The toxicity study is on dogs, but all mammals have very similarly functioning central nervous systems and hepatic detoxification/excretion machanisms, so the LD50 data is considered valid without the need for human experimentation.
I took way too much adderall over a 24- hour period. Somewhere between 180-200 mg. I was recently prescribed them, and binged for finals week. I brought myself to the ER lastnight and was treated with an IV of fluids. Once I got home I slept for a good 13 hours. I feel okay now, a little shaky. My question is, and this may sound stupid and so be easy on your criticism and answer… Would it be okay to take a 10MG IR to help me study for my final tomorrow? Or will it put me at risk for OD?
Hi Court. I wouldn't suggest you do that. Even if you don't OD (and I'm not saying you won't), you are causing too much stress to your organism with binges like these. If you feel good and slept well, wouldn't that be enough to help you study?!
I am prescribed adderall but rarely take it. I'm 19, 5″8 and 130lbs. I took 30 mg at 6 pm last night and later forgot I had taken it so had a few cups of coffee. I didn't really sleep last night but feel fine. I do have a bit of a high heart rate though. It's around 110. Is that okay? Do you think it will go away? I am pretty healthy and usually never mix the 2 but want to know how long my heart rate will be increased
Hello M. Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 to talk to experts on what to do next.
I was abusing adderall two days ago. They're 18mg tablets and I took 6. I'm 115 lbs and am 17. I'm 5'3. Since I took it I've been seeing black dots, I've been unable to focus, extremely nauseous, have had an unbearable headache, and haven't been able to stay awake. What should I do? The ER isn't an option. I have extremely strict parents and would be kicked out of my house.
Hi kha. Why don't you talk to the pharmacist at your local pharmacy, maybe they can help. I still believe the best thing to do is to go see a doctor, and you should definitely do that if the people at the pharmacy suggest the same. I hope you feel better soon.
My current prescribed dose is 90 mg/day. I have taken higher doses in my younger adult years and took a stronger medication (Dexedrine) at 120 mg as a child. I can take 30-45 mg of the tablets and take a nap. I am hyperactive and these make me tired. I have been on hyperactivity drugs since I was 5 and I am 34 and 5′ 7″ and 165 lbs and male. I know a 300 lb guy who takes 2.5 mg of ritalin twice a day and he can barely eat or sleep because it is so strong. I knew a girl on 30 mg of Adderall 6 times/day and she was 5'1″ and 100 lbs. And her meds lasted 2 hours so that 6 tablets didn't even cover her 16 hour day but she slept and was fine. Her liver was off or something so 30 mg 6 times a day for her was like 30 mg 2 times a day for the average person.

Is there any truth to the idea of ringing the vegetable garden with marigolds to keep out rabbits and other animals? I know they won't eat the tomato plants but sometimes will taste one, or bite the ripe fruit. I have not planted beans in years because they all get eaten as soon as they emerge.
I can't use a fence: if it's tall enough to keep them out it's tall enough for me to trip over. After falling out of the garden (an 18" high raised bed) last year because I caught my foot in the top wire, I decided it's not worth the risk. |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, mariglods will not deter rabbits. The flowers do a great job of attracting spidermites though. There are two options to protect against rabbits: Gun |
You forgot dog and hawk. |
Ha, ha. First 3 options are out. I would love to encourage the hawks if I knew how. For a few years the coyotes who moved into the area did a fine job on the bunnies, but they seem to have moved on. My cat worked her tail off too, but is no longer allowed outside after she picked up a parasite in the yard which caused a stroke. I tried the liquid fence too: fine as long as it didn't rain, then the rabbits must have come out the second it stopped. |

No, marigolds will not deter rabbits but will harbor thrips that vector tomato spot wilt virus. |
Linnea, Border collies work fantastically but (sadly) they only last 12-13 years... Terry Light |
If they attract thrips and spider mites, why do so many people like to plant them in tomato beds? |
rexx, good question ,i would like to know the answer to this aswell. I just planted some in my beds with the assumption that they would help ward off bugs. |
Yes dogs work well but only when they are outside and free to chase. And you need your dog never to take naps as rabbits feed mostly in early morning and early evening. Never take your dog to the vet either. If the dog isn't on partol even for an hour the plants are gone. What I am saying is that a dog is great but not 100%. More on mariglods... every garden I have ever visited near me that had marigolds growing in full sun had spidermites without exception. Maybe my area is prone to this situation. I have no idea. But I stopped growing them years ago. linnea, I wish I had a magic solution for you but a fence is 100%. Perhaps a fence with a secure gate? |
I was starting to think that the tomato forum has some flower haters on it! I have never had spider mites on any outdoor plants. I do occasionally get them on indoor plants. Oddly enough, most often on plants I grow on my deck and bring inside to overwinter, usually right before it is time to put them out again. A short time outside and they are "cured". Maybe it's the chilly Midwest nights. Ditto whitefly, which I got on the dahlias I stared inside this year. Shortly after the dahlias were put outside to harden off the whiteflies were gone. I had some idea that the scent of marigold leaves was supposed to repel something. Maybe it was bugs, not rabbits. I'm sure I've seen them planted in vegetable gardens; I think even in the local Botanical garden. Just an old wives tale? Though in actually I don't like marigolds too much (don't like any flower in a mustard-y color). In the vegetable garden I wouldn't mind them because they would not clash with anything else. Maybe I just needed an excuse to buy a few more flowers… I'd still use them but now I'm worried about thrips! |
AH-HAH! The marigolds win! Check out this scientific article proving their benefits! http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T6M-48CX1T2-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=85a13ff31e563ec87a28ed450ffe6699 Then google "marigold tomato" and see what else you find. In addition to the article above which proves than to have an inhibitory effect on blight, apparently they play host to beneficial insects that prey on pests that can harm tomatoes. I'm going ahead and planting them tomorrow; though I still don't know what to do about the rabbits. |

I planted marigolds to help with the root nematodes that are rife in my area. Seems to be working well for me. I did have some spider mites earlier this year, but they only lasted a couple of days before disappearing. I noticed the ladybugs arrived around the same time the mites (and aphids) "left", coincidence? I hope not. I don't have a problem with rabbits, the neighbors have three very noisy dogs that seemed to scare off everything save for squirrels, rats and possums, and since I got my dog all of the wild mammals except the squirrels have left. I think to get the squirrels to leave we'll have to convince the other neighbors to stop feeding them. If you know someone with a dog that sheds a lot, you might ask them for some of the hair and see if incorporating it into the mulch along the edge or distributing it around the paths helps deter them. |

Marigolds are planted near tomatoes b'c initial observations showed that they could possibly serve two functions. One, is that they do secrete a weak nematocide that has shown some activity against pathogenic root knot nematodes and second b'c they serve as a trap crop for those same nematodes. That means that nematodes infect them but can't complete their life cycle in the marigolds so are eliminated. But two problems. First, one has to use the Tagetes type marigolds, not just any marigolds and second it's become quite clear that one just can't plant a few Tagetes marigolds here and there, rather, they have to be planted as a dense cover crop and then tilled under. And that takes the growing area out of use for a whole season. Ebon rye is another cover crop that has shown weak activity. If RK nematodes are the problem it's best to amend the soil with lots of organic material b'c those nematodes, where present, can multiply to high numbers in warm sandy soil where temps don't freeze. Adding the organic material makes the sand grains be further apart and that helps b'c the nematodes move from sand grain to sand grain via the water shell that surrounds each grain and that's how they build up to high destructive populations. So RKN's are not a possible problem in the US except from maybe GA down to Fl, along the Gulf coast up into CA. I love flowers, both annuals and perennials, but I sure wouldn't plant Tagetes, aka French, short, marigolds just to deter RKN's if they were a problem in my area, which they aren't. I'd work more with improving the soil as a longer term possible solution. Or as a last resort, growing my tomatoes in containers. Carolyn |
There are many different types of mites. I am talking the warm weather type (two spotted) and not the cool weather (spruce) type. I have read your link and it is a lone wolf. All the other links on Google page 1 support my reference that mites do indeed love marigolds in warm weather. The warmer the weather the faster they breed. They are a major problem where I garden. Back in my old chem days I tried various miticides (Isotox, Kelthane), water blasts, soaps, oils, etc and nothing worked. I went totally organic about 13 years ago and now I am nearly mite free because I release green lacewings into my garden in early June every year. Anyway, keep an eye out on those marigold's...:) |
Yeah bigdaddyj.........a native flower protects a semi-native vegetable......ya think! Besides it seemed to be used to affect the humidity that caused the problem with blight. |
I've used floating row cover to deter rabbits with some success. Last year, when they ate my pole beans down to stumps, I replanted and wrapped the bottom of the teepee with row cover (secured it to the poles with clothes pins). The beans grew up and escaped and the rabbits were baffled. This year I have a checken wire fence so I can grow bush beans too. |
linnea, wow that is some link. Could that be true? WOnder how many marigolds you would have to put under each plant to deter conidia production and create that microclimate. Seems unbelieveable. I was just going to write that planting marigolds to repel pests has been proven ineffectual though many books and magazines still promote the practice. Even Organic Gardening magazine says it doesn't work. They are supposed to attract spider mites. Didn't know they attracted thrips--that alone would put them in my NEVER GROW list as I have had TSWV in previous years. I did grow the special nematicidal marigold as a cover crop in a few areas. They are like a huge dense shrub--nothing like the little plants at the nursery. I couldn't really dig them in those areas as you are supposed to so I really can't say if they deterred nematodes or not. I 'guess' you could plant one of these big marigold 'bushes' and then just press it over and plant a tomato right in the living mulch of the marigold. Just pray for no thrips. Because TSWV is much worse than early blight. |
What is TSWV? I have not had nematodes so far. Maybe they are not prevalent in my area. I have not had any insect problems either, when I have grown marigolds elsewhere in my garden. (Though I don't like them, my daughter does: when she has gone to the nursery with me she picks what she wants.). Japanese beetles on my roses, yes. Are marigolds a thrip magnet just under certain conditions? Or in conjuction with tomatoes? I still need to find a plant that rabbits HATE! (I need my revenge…). |
TSWV = tomato spotted wilt virus Nasty virus vectored by thrips. |

I have not had nematodes so far ***** And you won't, not the pathogenic ones anyway. As I said above they prefer sandy warm soils and will be found where the ground doesn't freeze/ The RKN's I'm speaking of here are also called the southern ones, and there are some northern ones but rarely, and I mean rarely, have they been IDed as being a problem. I think I can remember only one person in the past 20 years who had the northern ones IDed as being a problem. So we zone 5 ers such as yourself, don't have RKN's to worry about. Carolyn |
I work at a greenhouse and am ask this question frequently. Marigolds will not deter rabbits, my co worker actually seen rabbits eating her marigolds. Now maybe they do deter certain insects but not bunnies. I have had a bad problem with rabbits at my house too. Almost gave up on growing peas and beans because of them. I have a fence around my garden and that keeps the big ones out but the babies can squeeze through. I also have a large dog but honestly shes getting lazy in her older years. So last year my bosses son gave me some castor bean plants. Swore they help keep away critters. I put a couple in the garden and i have to say i didn't have a bunny problem. Now i don't know if it was the castor beans or not but i have planted some in my garden this year too. I am aware they are poisonous so obviously you would want to keep children and small animals away. Which is not a problem since my garden is fenced in. Im curious to see if bunnies are a problem this year. So far so good. But my beans and peas are just starting to sprout so we shall see. Tami K |
A good cat will take care of the rabbit problem. Cindy |
My vegetable garden is too small for castor beans, but I love the way they look. I hope to get some in the future for their ornamental value. I have some perennials like lilies that are consistently attacked by rabbits, so will keep that in mind for a companion planting. My cat did her best in previous years, but I only let her out when she could be supervised. Too many big dogs around, plus the occasional coyote at night. Last year she picked up a parasite in the yard (too long a story to detail here), and suffered a stroke and brain damage as a result. I thought she was safe if only allowed out with me: I was thinking only of predators. I didn't know about these parasites then. My little former gardening buddy is on 2 x a day anti-seizure medication. So even if I get a new cat, she/he will not be allowed out in the future. The pet is more valuable than the rabbit-chaser. |

Yes, there are benefits to winter! On a trip to Mexico last winter my teen daughter had been complaining all the way down about how terribly cold the Midwest was, how she hated winter, etc., how much better it must be to live at all points south. Then she saw some insects of frightening dimensions, and said, "I didn't know they could get that big! I'm glad we don't have those!" Where upon I said, "And you know why, right?" Point made… |
Don't forget Elmer Fudd. |
bigdaddyj More on mariglods... every garden I have ever visited near me that had marigolds growing in full sun had spidermites without exception. Maybe my area is prone to this situation. I have no idea. But I stopped growing them years ago. How very odd. I've grown marigolds in full sun for years and have never had that problem. I have found that rose chaffers really enjoy them, however. Course one possible issue with the 'dog solution' is if said dog crashes through said plants............ |
I'm in NW NJ (aka "tomato capital"), and only grow tomatos for the family - 1 or 2 plants a year. Anyway, I've always used marigolds b/c that's what everyone around here said to do. I think it was b/c the marigolds attract the ladybugs, which eat the aphids. I've see lots of aphids, and no spidermites. Our marigolds grow beautifully here w/o any spidermite probs. Then again, our tomatoes don't enjoy completely full sun b/c of our location, so the marigolds don't get completely full sun either. Maybe the region (NW NJ) combined w/a couple hours less than full sun has something to do w/ why marigolds "work" for us well w/toms here in NJ ?? All the Best, Tree (who usually hangs out in Soil Forum, but lurks around the others to see what everyone's up to :) |

Wow..that's a first I've ever heard of Marigold attracting spider mites and thrips. I grow Marigold tagetes (short and tall types) in my beds in hot full sun and have never had either infested with either pest. Our summers are hot and dry too with low humidity. I've pulled off some thrip infested Brandywine leaves today though but are not near Marigold, but Calendula this year in a new bed. In the other bed where I have both Marigold and Tomatoes plus Calendula the tomato plants have no thrips...have never had them. However this bed is also surrounded by lots of flowering perennials and annuals that attract a ton of beneficials to the area. |
Cindy is right. Get a cat that likes to hunt. We live in a "no fencing" subdivision, and rabbits killed hundreds of dollars of plants in my yard over and over, often the first morning after I planted them. One cat stopped all that, as well as ridding us of chipmunks, skunk visits, and most of our squirrels. We let her have a couple of litters and kept Big Red, our current patrol cat. He sleeps inside during the day, but goes out at dusk and stays out all night. Mama Cat retired to a neighbors house. Better food I guess. |

My cat hates clay kitty litter so I have to use the pumice dirt we have here. I started dumping the cat box NEAR the back garden. Haven't made it all the way around it yet and plan to put in turkey wire on 3 sides. Rabbit and squirrel tracks are never where I have dumped the used dirt. |

I have used Cayenne pepper to keep rabbits off my beans when they first come up. Just sprinkle it on when they just come up and after rains. After the plants are established, the rabbits seem to leave them alone. Just be sure to wash your hands afterwards before touching sensitive areas on your self. Eyes, nose and points South. I have also used dried blood as a deterent. Bill |

My wifey owes me TWO FREE PASSES! Not one, but two. I had already made arrangements with Steve for my next great Mexican adventure (profusely illustrated!), but wifey gets a phone call from Brenda. Brenda says, "Do you have an extra space for dinner right now? We need a hen fest!" Lucky for Brenda, I could accommodate here.
It was a shrimp, bok choy stir fry. Since I had well over a pound of shrimp that had been thawed and cleaned, it wasn't anything to just go out to the garden and cut some more bok choy growing, throw it chopped up in the wok, and add a combination of plum sauce, freshly pressed garlic, and lots of ginger into the mix. I served it with some rice, boiled in water with dried chicken stock. Then it was served with an Oregon white wine we had brought down. And voila! Now you know that when I go to Ejido Wonderful, I say I can eat in the best restaurants in Los Angeles.
You know how hen sessions and guys are. The gals can chat on and on for hours, and it's all "yadda, yadda, yadda." In one ear and out the other. Several days later, I announce that I'm off to my next great Mexican adventure, and the wifey says, "NO YOU'RE NOT!"
Apparently, the gals had decided that I was to attend the very important Red Cross breakfast in town today. Call up Steve, and tell him no go. Sheesh! You know how women are when they really mean it. So off to to town we go. Surprise, surprise, surprise. It turns out to be yet another hen session, this time with lots more women. I had a pretty excremental meal of eggs and frijoles with bits of Chihuahua cheese sprinkled on the refried beans. Being a guy, I ate it all. Hell, I'll eat anything. The meal wasn't a total loss, as I ran into Olivia, who'll be able to get me a deal as well as be translator on the Mexican adventure, but I digress.
Little did I know, but about one microbe of something nasty was on the cheese. Now the funny thing about bacteria growth is that there are probably a score or more of different bacteria that are residing in your body at any time. So when just one infiltrator slips into your system, it's hardly noticed until it multiplies to the point where it can exponentially take off.
In the afternoon, it had multiplied just enough so that my immune system was getting a painless workout. I actually had more pep than usual, so I went for a swim in the ocean -- a long distance swim. That's one of the things I do for exercise. Matter of fact, I swam probably a mile and a half non-stop -- a personal record for me. Unfortunately, I did not rehydrate after my swim. Instead, I'd made a ceviche of raw fish in lime juice, tomato juice, and chopped vegetables. There was a lot of liquid in it, and I went to bed.
About 3:30AM, I woke up. I felt mildly uncomfortable, and I went downstairs. Wifey was up, and I was carrying on a conversation -- being a bit cranky. I had a glass of leftover wine. I got crankier. The pain in my lower, left gut was getting more demanding, and I went to the bathroom to take Shit #1. This would be the first of several following BMs, each one getting progressively more gross during the course of this story. As there may be children younger than 123 years old reading this, I will spare you the gory details on further said bowel movements for the rest of this story.
After I got out of the bathroom, I was really cranky. Unfortunately, I was also getting mentally disoriented. I tried to go upstairs, and suddenly I felt as if I was having a serious brownout. Not good. Go to bedroom downstairs and lay down. Turning the corner, I fainted -- just long enough to fall down and take some books with me. I crawled into bed, and I immediately puked out the wine and the water I'd drunk. More not good. I felt temporarily better enough to go to the bathroom one more time, where I managed to spew everything out of both ends while feeling faint. Perhaps it's time to visit the emergency room. I vaguely remember telling my wife that -- perhaps a little more forcefully than what I've described.
She calls Guillermo, as there's no way that she's going to drag this big lug all by herself to the car. So I remain on the throne in my bathrobe, in a pixelated state -- feeling worse and worse by the minute. Eventually, after what seems like an eternity, Guillermo arrives, and they buddy-carry me to the passenger seat of my car. No way close I'm even thinking of driving.
I'm pretty much okay for the journey into town until Mr. Large Intestine makes himself known, telling me to get out of the car immediately. It is with some poetic justice that we manage to stop in front of Brenda's Motel. And I think I did the most disgusting Dump #3 or #4 yet. And then it's on to the hospital.
By now, my IQ has probably dropped 40 points, and I'm helped into the ER waiting room. The nurse has bad English, and my Spanish isn't so hot, but we communicate. Guillermo finally arrives, and he interlocutes for me and wifey. The bathroom is waiting for me one more time. Now imagine my shock, when I go into the bathroom of the ER and there's no toilet paper, and no soap or hot water! This hospital is primitive by American standards! I grunt to wifey for some paper, and it's back outside to the waiting room to wait for the doctor to show up.
Everything begins to be very far away. Even though I'm sitting next to wifey, I'm hardly aware of her presence. I close my eyes. Reality is too bright. I hear sounds selectively, if at all. And when I hear them, they sound disembodied and poignant. Despite my pain and discomfort, I am peaceful.
I remember being led to a gurney where the nurse yells at me in broken English. "DON'T MOVE!" He yells this several times, as he tries to jab me with this giant needle again and again. This actually annoys me. Most American nurses try to find relatively nerve free spots to do an injection. In Mexico, I think nurses just pretend to be toreadors, sticking the old bull any which way they can. OUCH! He does this again, and again, first on my inner elbow, and then on the back of my hand. Am I some kind of diabetic junkie where it's impossible to find a good vein? Muy primitivo!
The combination of bacillus, dehydration, and sedative do their work for the next six hours. I think I have conscious memory of about 15 minutes. I vaguely remember silhouettes of the doctor or nurse, appearing at the door or by my side. I get cold with nothing but my bathrobe on, and I ask for a blanket. I get two sheets, and my feet hang out a good foot and a half off the end of the gurney. I don't mind. I ask for something to elevate my head, and they give me something (not a pillow). These are not memories that are important.
The only thing that's important are the sound of the English Sparrows in the courtyard, so distant and far away. I hear their music, like I never heard them before. They might be the last things I'll ever hear in my life. I feel like I'm dying.
After some hours, the doctor comes in, and he tells me that it's time to go home. Woozily, I get off the gurney. And I wobble down the concrete walkway to get back into my car. My first significant Mexican medical adventure is over. The next 24 hours, I say that I could have spent my time more productively if I'd been drunk all the time. I thought nothing. I did nothing. I slept. Everything operated at 5% power. And of course, the most important thing in my life are my repeated bathroom experiences. What was it that gave me a near death experience? Was it my ceviche, where I perhaps didn't wash my vegetables well enough? Or was it something else?
The next night, the front part of my brain starts functioning again, and I have marvelous dreams. I'm happy to be alive, even if my bathroom experiences continue to be unpleasant. Through repeated trials at the bathroom, I discover that my problem was the tainted cheese at the Red Cross breakfast. It wasn't my ceviche!
Now if I had any taste or decorum, I'd leave it there. But I don't. So here is my recipe for ceviche. By the way, it wasn't the fish, because Rufi had brought it over -- ready to go and just caught from the ocean.
Take one pound of any fresh fish. Chop it up finely, and put it in a bowl with the juice of ten squeezed limes. Let the fish cook in the lime juice, while you finely chop up one bell pepper, two Anaheim peppers, and really finely chopped jalapeno peppers. Then chop up one pound of tomatoes, one giant onion, one bunch of cilantro, and bits of cucumber, celery, and carrot if you like. Put your finely chopped veggies in a big bowl, and pour in the fish in the lime juice. Add one can of V-8 juice or tomato juice, and gently stir. And don't forget to add three crushed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce.
Then go swimming, but don't forget to chug a quart or more of water after you've sweated things out in the ocean, and enjoy dinner. But don't eat the Chihuahua cheese after springtime down here.
bet you dont eat that for awhile.
Talk extensively and graphically about a horrible intestinal ailment, complete with puking, several dumps, and a great deal of pain, and follow this appetizing description with a ....
Now every time we think of ceviche......
I'm tempted to run a Name That Show request on Open Call
And sorry, if you think I am going to try the ceviche recipe after that colorful story, you've got another think coming. I ate a Hostess Ho-Ho just before I came down with the flu when I was eight years old, and I haven't been able to look at the things since.

2006 Movia "Gredic" Tocai Friuliano, Brda, Slovenia
|Friuli, just to be clear, sits at the northeastern edge of Italy. The region surrounds the ancient city of Trieste, which balances on the tip-top of the Adriatic Sea. In the 1960s, Mario Schiopetto, whose name is about as Italian as you can find, imported German winemaking techniques to create the "super whites" that define the modern Italian style: clean, fruity, refreshing. I know where Friuli is; I've passed through Trieste on my way to Croatia.
So knowing all that, you might wonder why I picked a Slovenian wine for this edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday, the monthly Internet-wide tasting event that this month asked us to find Friuli whites.
Borders are a funny thing. We can hope that Italy's borders will remain stable for a long time, since wars tend to be the events that move them, but not that long ago surveyors needed to decide where Italy ended and other countries began. Working in the hills that straddle Collio, an Italian wine region, and Brda, a Slovenian one, some engineer had to make a long series of decisions about which ground belonged to which country. And one of those decisions put the line through a vineyard owned by the Kristancic family, then and now the proprietors of the Movia estate. So some — maybe all — of the grapes in my bottle of Slovenian wine are actually from Italy.
That may be the most mild of the stories surrounding Movia, today the property of the charismatic and passionate Ales Kristancic. I've heard that Movia, alone in Slovenia, stayed private under Tito's Communist rule because Ales's father or grandfather was a friend of Tito's. To get around the problem of a privately owned winery, Tito bought up all of Movia's inventory each year. I've heard that American presidents have wandered through the vineyard.
And then you get to the cellar. The standard (and useless) definition of biodynamic viticulture is "organic plus." Movia sometimes seems like "biodynamic plus." I've heard that Ales records his fermenting yeast and plays their own song back to them. He uses the atmospheric pressure of the new moon to clarify his wines. He leaves some of his whites in Slovenian oak barrels and on their lees, the dead yeast cells that drop from the wine during fermentation, for 2 years. He ages his reds for 3 to 7 years.
Clearly, Ales flouts modern winemaking. But he also makes some killer wines. I have tasted a number of them, either at wine dinners or at Jack and Joanne's house. I have never been disappointed.
His 2006 Gredic ($19), a well-balanced Tocai Friuliano, has light, buoyant aromas of honey and flowers, wax and cheese. It spanks your palate with searing acidity but then kisses the pain away with rich flavors of peach and wax. And if you ask Jack, who drinks them often, this is the least of Movia's wines. If you ever get the chance to order a bottle of Movia wine, do so.

I moved out of my old apartment two weeks ago. A few days ago I received my security deposit in the mail. The check was for $445 - my security deposit was $500.
I had done the walkthrough with the apartment manager and the only deduction he noted was $5 for the oven. So I should have received $495 back. I called the apartment manager to ask why the additional $50 had been taken. He said that between two and three years ago the landlady started charging tenants $50 to have the blinds professionally cleaned when they moved out. This is not stated in the lease - incoming tenants are told this when they sign the lease. I moved in four years ago, before the mandatory cleaning charge, so my apartment manager said he was 99 percent sure I'd get my money back. But the landlady says that she's been charging for the blinds-cleaning forever and she'll "think about" returning my $50. What recourse do I have? I've found out that under Washington state's landlord-tenant law, the term deposit can only be applied to money that will be refunded to the tenant. Since she's taking $50 automatically it's no longer considered a deposit, is it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In Texas if they withhold part or all of your deposit without notifying you in writing within a certain time period, you can sue them for three times the amount owed you in small claims court. I don't know what the law is where you live but you may want to check into it. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Tue, Apr 12, 05 at 9:16
If it's a mandatory cleaning charge, it's a :"Fee" and MUST be declared. Remind the manager that your lease shows a $500 DEPOSIT and says nothing about a "cleaning fee" (which is must) ... and I bet you can sue them in small claims court for illegally witholding an undeclared fee and get triple damages. Look up the "residential landlord and tenant" laws for your state, or just call the state informaiton number ... they might also owe you interest on that 4-year old deposit. |
- Posted by AdellaBedella (My Page) on Tue, Apr 12, 05 at 18:06
We had a similar situation when we moved out a few years ago. Our apartment manager decided we owed a $75 carpet cleaning fee even though it wasn't in the lease. We couldn't do a whole lot about it without wasting more time and money. The legal process isn't always worth it. My only satisfaction is that $75 has ended up costing the manager potential tenants. I've persuaded at least 3 potential tentants who would have been excellent renters to not move in there. |
- Posted by sleepless_st (My Page) on Wed, Apr 13, 05 at 3:05
Thanks for all the advice. Is it legal for me not to know the landlady's name or phone number? I've asked the apartment manager for her phone number; he said he'd give her my number so she could call me. And that I could write her a letter (I do have her address for rent-check purposes). |
you can go to the tenant-landlord union for free.I think it is on Rainer ave in seattle. Go to the website of the county you live in if your not in sea |
I would call the renter's board in your area. They will tell you over the phone exactly what your rights are and advise you on how to proceed. |

"I followed this recipe very loosely. I cooked a swordfish steak wrapped in prosciutto then placed it on top of an arugula/spinach salad with the oranges, raisins, and vinegar...it was delicious and easy! One slice of prosciutto is plenty for a steak...I used two and it was a little too much."""

These were good! Meyer Lemon Madeleines 2 large eggs, lightly beaten in a 2-cup measure Measure 1/4 cup of eggs into a bowl, then, using a wooden spoon, beat in the sugar and cup of flour. When thoroughly blended, let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a 6-cup saucepan, bring it to a boil, and let it brown lightly. Place 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl and blend in 1 1/2 tablespoons browned butter. Set aside for preparing madeleine pans. Stir the rest of the butter over a bowl of ice cubes until cool but liquid. Blend it and the last of the eggs into the batter along with the salt, lemon rind, and juice. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and set the racks in the upper and lower middle levels. Paint the madeleine cups with the reserved butter-flour mixture. Divide the batter into 24 lumps of a generous tablespoon each and drop them into the madeleine cups. Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes until the cakes are lightly browned around the edges, humped in the middle, and slightly shrunken from the cups. Unmold onto a rack. When cool, turn shell side up and dust with confectioners' sugar. Keep in an airtight container or freeze. |

Medical Coding and Billing - Certificate
The Medical Coding and Billing certificate prepares students for rewarding career opportunities in the fields of Health Information Management and Healthcare Professional Services. Because medicine is not always an exact science, codes were developed to identify all reasons for seeking healthcare. The code numbers are detailed in order to accurately describe the diagnoses and the procedures performed to test or correct these diagnoses. Students in HGTC's Medical Coding and Billing certificate program receive in-depth instruction on medical record coding and billing practices in the professional, facility, and payer healthcare industry. Hands-on coding practice takes place in classroom/lab settings and healthcare facilities. Courses are available online and on-site.
The program prepares students for coding/billing certifications with NHA, AHIMA, and AAPC
For more information, contact:
Tammy Marcin (843) 477-2067
Career Outlook
Medical coding involves transforming descriptions of diseases, injuries, and healthcare procedures into code numbers. Coding health-related data allows health records to be accessed according to diagnoses and procedures for use in clinical care, research, and education. Common uses of medical codes in healthcare include:
- Reporting services performed for reimbursement.
- Identifying symptoms that must be evaluated.
- Helping with administrative functions, such as staffing, scheduling, and adding or decreasing healthcare services.
- Comparing facilities and planning for new services in underserved areas.
Medical coders and billers can find employment opportunities in the following settings:
- Physician offices
- Hospitals
- Outpatient care centers
- Nursing care facilities

Fabulous Pump
Love, Love, Love these pumps! Super Fabulous!!
Love it
I love this shoes so much but the front toe cap is not long enough and when I wear it, people can still see my fingers. Other than that, i love the style, color, texture, and height.
Love these shoes
I have narrow feet.... These are the only shoes that I wear... They are also a investment but so well worth it...I would buy every shoe in my size if I could...

Re: Suggestion of Research topic in Hadoop for PhD research

Thanks in advance. > *Regards* > Given you are doing PhD, presumably you are expected to start with the reading of state of the art before diving into the depths of your own work For that reason, I'm attaching a .bib file containing papers you may want to read, This list is incomplete and biased towards work I was doing last year on data integrity within Hadoop -it omits all of Lamport's work on Distribute Computing, and all the classic RDBMs papers, the latter list including: [Chamberlin81] D Chamberlin et al., A History and Evaluation of System R, 1981. [Codd71] E. F Codd, *A Database Sublanguage Founded on the Relational Calculus*, 1971 [Date84]: C.J. Date, *A Critique of the SQL Database Language* 1984 Also: -everything from Google, Yahoo! Amazon and Microsoft Research groups, Facebook, etc. -the work done in the 1980s and early 1990s on "massively parallel" computers. They tried out a lot of designs there, some of which could have relevance again. Regarding working inside Hadoop itself, be aware that - The code is big, complicated and needs testing on large clusters. - It's in use in production, which makes people reluctant to accept large changes to the core There are some tactics to address that, especially if you are looking at the classic CS-hard problems of scheduling, data placement, etc - Work in your own scheduler - Use the block placement plugin - Find other plugin points, or help design one for the specific area you want to play in. - YARN lets you run completely different applications in a Hadoop cluster. Another thing to be aware of is that because of the R&D money being invested in the platform, sometimes it does change dramatically -and it is hard to compete with the efforts of a team of full time developers. For example, I've long complained that Hadoop wasn't that good in a virtual world. and last week VMWare published a patch that contains many tens of thousands of lines of code to address it. Anyone doing a PhD on the same problem would now be in trouble. This is why working on a related-but-higher-level stack such as Asterix or Stratosphere may be a good approach; another is to pick a specific application problem and look at implementing it within the Hadoop platform.

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 Zoey!
Facts about Zoey
- Breed: Pug Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Zoey's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Our first rescue of 2013 is 3 year old Zoey, a black pug mix with a heart of gold and a sweet temperament. Zoey gets along well with children and other dogs, loves being around humans and needs TLC and activity. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and ready to find a new loving home. To apply for Zoey please visit www.pugrescueaustin.com/adopt
Other Pets at Pug Rescue of Austin
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zoey, a Austin Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Austin, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Austin.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Austin 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 Austin 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 Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Austin paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi folks,
This is my first year of planting tomatoes. Some tomatoes on two of my 10 plants have black spots, and I have not been able to find exactly similar pictures on the Internet. My plants are in containers on my roof (mix of 7.5 gallon and 12 gallon wooden boxes lined with root-stopping cloth). I grew my plants from seed, and planted them in 50% fresh potting soil and 50% store-bought compost. I have four varieties but have lost track which plant is which. ;-) Will have to wait for the tomatoes to mature. |

Additional info: the black spot is slightly soft and squishy compared to the firmness of the rest of the tomato. The varieties I planted are: Big Zebra Ananas Amana Orange Costoluto Genovese |
Hi, How are the leaves and stems of the plants? Do the leaves or stems have any spots on them? |
