Tomato Hydro in Rockwool. these plants are about 20 days old. i attached a pic of a lower leaf branch that recently fell off and it shows purple coloring under the leaves. apparently its a Phosporus deficiency.
i started my youngling mix of around 250ppm mix, in RO Water, using GH flora grow/bloom/micro. i water them by hand 2 times a day with a pour technique. they get 18hrs of light (LED) and i have other cherry tomatoes that i had great success with but they started to develop this purpling about a week ago and has now shed an entire leaf branch. i upped the PPM to 500, about 4 days ago and mixed to a gallon, which is basically 5ml of grow/micro/bloom with RO Water. Yet i am now seeing a curl and almost like a burn to these leaves. i don't see how 500ppm would nuke this plant at 3 weeks old. when 250-300ppm was not enough... i always keep PH around 6.0. Just kinda purplexing how these plants are still having issues. any suggestions? |

The GH Micro has nitrogen in it, which means you don't need the GH Grow, too. Try using equal parts of the Micro and Bloom, without any of the Grow. That gives you more control over the P without providing too much N. |
The grow does have 2 parts N in it, but it also has 6 parts potassium that i would be losing out on. i research a lot of these elements and am trying to follow howard resh's formula for PPM of each element as well as get near his PPM number. Problem i have found is, with these GH nutrients, there calculator on the website, gives exact PPM of each element and i have measured accurately to the ML of each of these and tried to come up with an accurate total of each element per RESH's formula. BUT...the PPM is off by like 200+ if i follow it when i take a measurement with my PPM meter. i message GH directly and they say just use a PPM meter and don't follow the calculator...something is strange with there math because im adding it to RO WATER with 3 PPM and its so far off. but i guess i could try your method but i would be losing about 70ppm of K. so i don't know... i do know lucas's forumla that does not use GH Grow in it, but im skeptical on the loss of K overall. your thoughts? thanks |

Maybe GH assumes people will use tap water, and that accounts for that 200 ppm? I also wonder if your cubes are maybe evaporating a little, since you're only watering twice a day. That would raise the concentration of nutrients and possibly account for the burn you saw. It could have also caused the deficiencies by nutrient lock-out or ph fluctuation within the cube. |
Have you calibrated your ppm meter to make sure it's reading correctly? Most ppm readings are calibrated to either 500 or 750, so you have to make sure it's calibrated correctly. If you're using the grow proportions of GH's flora series, that is not the cause of the phosphorus deficiency. I've grown tomato plants just fine using the 3 part flora series. I'm not saying it's perfectly balanced or anything, just that it's going to provide ample nutrients for your plants. What are those other plants growing with the tomatoes? A 200 point swing in the range of 500 to 700 isn't going to hurt most tomato plants. 200-250 is low (really too low for tomatoes) but the overall growth of the plant will be affected. Have you looked at the solution in the tank to ensure nothing is precipitating out of the nutrient? And whatdo you mean by the "pour technique"? are you simply poouring nutrient on top of the hydroton twice a day? |
thanks for the replies. My ppm meter is fine, calibrated 500 nacl. These are late additions to this system, so i put them in the system, but i am hand watering just these 2 plants with a 500ppm solution from the top yes. the solution in my tank is about 600ppm which the other tomato plants and peppers are DWC with there roots at this point. i also drip feed them but thats not doing much since the roots are completely submerged. Yes i have aeration in res. as you can see in this new picture attached, i have some pretty decent leaf curl and small lesions on the lower leaves working its way up. a little history i did have 4 other tomato plants that all had the same issue in this system with the leaf curl and eventual death. i never figured out why and it was only to a particular breed of tomato (tomosa). the cherries are doing fine and are fruit setting. I am using a "Pour" technique for a few weeks twice a day from a gallon jug. i only use half a cup or so to get the rockwool remoist and some runs back into the resovior. i did not attach these 2 tomatos to the drip because they were too young to deal with the higher PPM of 600. so i figured a few weeks of this then the roots will probably be down into the water and itll be ok. Yet im getting this curl alredy and dont know if they will make it. Thanks |

Six Organs Of Admittance
In 2003 Chasny began an association with Comets on Fire, which led to him becoming a full-time touring and recording member of the band. He also released Compathia for Holy Mountain and two titles for Time-Lag, a CD reissue of 1999's limited-edition Nightly Trembling and the landmark For Octavio Paz. After recording and touring extensively with Comets on Fire in 2004, Chasny returned to the studio and issued the moving and beautiful School of the Flower on Drag City in January of 2005. Sun Awakens and Shelter from the Ash arrived in 2006 and 2007. After touring and a long break in 2008, SOOA undertook what would become a prolific 2009. First was the release of the sonically expansive -- and very electric -- Luminous Night, followed by the double-disc retrospective RTZ, both of which appeared on Drag City.
In addition, Chasny and friends provided a vinyl-only soundtrack for Joseph Mattson's novel Empty the Sun, from Barnacle in a limited edition that also included the book. Chasny and guitarist Andrew Mitchell recorded -- as SOOA -- an all-acoustic, limited-release CD-R entitled Life at the Cat's Cradle, recorded by Cory Rayborn in October. Chasny spent 2010 immersing himself in the writings of French critic Gaston Bachelard and American theology professor Catherine Keller. They proved a profound influence on the composing, arranging, and recording of the next (primarily acoustic) SOOA album, Asleep on the Floodplain, issued in the early spring of 2011 on Drag City. The band returned in the summer of 2012 with the decidedly more rocking Ascent. ~ Jason Nickey & Thom Jurek, Rovi

We are starting our kitchen remodel next week and I am in the midst of finalizing our granite countertop choice. Our kitchen cabinets are Medallion maple raised panel door (Winston) in the White Chocolate (which is a cream color) for the perimeter cabinets and chestnut for the island. I wanted light granite and was thinking either Saint Cecilia Light or Giallo Ornamental Light. Unfortunately, the granite places my kitchen designer insists I go through do not have either. They do, however, have two other granites I like. One is Giallo Verona and the other is Delicatus White. The Delicatus is about $28/sq. ft. more (about $1400 more). The question is, which do you think is nicer with the cream cabinets? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not knowing what your cabs look like, personally I prefer the Delicatus White, both in color (more gray) and pattern. The Giallo Verona looks a little pink to me which I could not live with. |
More to the point, which do you like? Which goes with the cab door when you hold it up? If both look great with the door - undertones being very important, as linelle points out - and you like both equally, then take the cheaper one. I find Delicatus more interesting, but it depends on the feeling you're going for. |
- Posted by herbflavor (My Page) on Tue, May 28, 13 at 17:59
both are nice:what are the objectives: is it big so you want texture and pattern throughout all the counter areas/do you want simple consistency with the warmth of the paint and chestnut stain/ I might choose the type of pattern in delicatus but something with a tad more warmth/browns and bronzes-it looks very "cool".Chestnut stain is usually a very true brown-veering warm for the most part-unless you smoke it with ebony/pewter glaze or something. Keep looking, IMO. |
That slab of Delicatus is very pretty! I like the color and veining much better! |
- Posted by firsthouse_mp (My Page) on Tue, May 28, 13 at 22:18
I find it sort of strange that your kitchen designer insists that you purchase your slabs through only her slabyard recommendations. I think that smacks of a kick-back. I have worked with many kitchen designers in my business and anyone that insists on using a specific vendor in my mind has some sort of deal going that is not in the best interests of that client. That said, if your perimeter is cream and your island is chestnut, you will have a totally different feel if each of the pics above are "true"....the Giallo Verona seems like it matches your color scheme better, and the Delicatus has a much "cooler" tone to it. I prefer the Delicatus but would need to see the undertones and colors of the actual "chestnut". |
Thanks for the input. I like the delicatus more than the giallo verona, but I am a little unsure of how it will look with the cream cabinets. I've held samples of the cabinetry up to both and I think there's enough cream in the stone that it makes sense. That said, the giallo will clearly go with both the cream and the chestnut. I guess I just feel it's a little blah. Also, these granite places have the worst lighting- florescent with no natural light. I have a sample of the delicatus that I was able to bring home and see under the light conditions at home- I really love it but am worried about it with the cabinets. Here's the photo of the delicatus sample with both the cabinet samples. Do you think it's too white/grey? |
Find a stone you love, and love with your cabinetry. Do not compromise for your KD. |

Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease
Diabetes is responsible for many health complications. These include an increased risk of blood vessel disease, especially coronary artery disease. All things being equal, diabetes substantially increases the risk of heart disease. In fact, about 80% of people with diabetes die of some form of heart disease or a stroke. Diabetics with high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol, and low HDL are even more at risk for these problems.
In type 2 (previously called "non-insulin-dependent" or "adult-onset") diabetes, the body's cells become resistant to insulin and the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance. Insulin is the hormone that permits blood glucose (sugar) to move into the body's cells, where it's used for energy. Insulin also reduces the amount of glucose released by the liver. During the initial period of insulin resistance, the pancreas tries to compensate by increasing insulin production. Over time, most type 2 diabetics show a decline in insulin production, and blood sugars rise even more.
The association of insulin resistance and coronary artery disease is well established. Does this mean that higher levels of insulin cause angina and heart attacks? The answer is not clear. For now, one prudent approach to elevated blood sugars and higher insulin levels due to insulin resistance is to lower the blood levels of both. This is best accomplished by weight loss and increased exercise. For type 2 diabetes not controlled despite best efforts at lifestyle change, researchers are studying whether drugs that do not raise insulin levels are superior.
In addition to lower blood sugar, optimal treatment for type 2 diabetes includes modifying all risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Ideally, blood pressure should be less than 140/9. Cholesterol treatment with a drug from the family of medicines known as "statins" can reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke. Most people with diabetes who are over age 40 will benefit from taking a statin drug.

Can anybody school me on garden worms and adding them to my plot? I've read the vermiculter forum but didnt get much out of it. Thanks in advance. |

When you add organic matter, you'll attract the worms. I am noticing an increase in earthworms (nightcrawler-type) in the ground compared to what I used to find. This type lives in-ground and builds permanent burrows. The compost-type (likely red wiggler) worms generally live in the above-ground layers of mulch and/or organic matter. When I first built my raised beds, the horse manure I got came with a nice supply of these guys. That supply has grown quite well. These guys were polishing off some pumpkin I buried in the garden last winter. (click if you care to enlarge)
From what I understand, worms work on a "if you build it they will come" sort of theory- meaning feed them (by adding organic matter) and they'll find it. If that theory doesn't work (and frankly, I might have my doubts out here), perhaps I could dig some up for you :-) (if I'm remembering right, you live very nearby?) There's my non-scientific summary as I understand it. I hope it's at least slightly helpful. |

Skybird, I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes pictures of worms... When I posted the worm pics on my blog last year, it was about the time I sent a blog link to a friend of mine. She thought the worms were kind of gross. I thought they were a beautiful sight! |

I have white juicy grubs in my compost pile but no worms. I want to buy and set free a bunch of worms in my garden but dont know what kind to buy. Is it the "red wigglers" I am looking for? And where can I buy them in Colorado Springs? |
- Posted by austinnhanasmom 5 Broomfield, CO (My Page) on Tue, May 4, 10 at 9:36
Twice annually, for six years, I bought dozens and dozens of nightcrawlers at Walmart and tossed them into my yard after aerating the lawn. I was dismayed last year when I increased my veggie garden and found NO worms!! The robins are loving life though eating those dozens and dozens of Walmart worms... I started composting - with worms. DH built these great outdoor worm bins. I ordered Red Wigglers online and received some from a composter in Fort Collins. I also ordered European Nightcrawler cocoons last year after reading that transplanted worms do not thrive like hatched worms. Could be true...Not sure. I chose the European variety because I read that they compost only dead material (hopefully ignoring my tomato plants) and dig deeper then the Red Wrigglers (will compost live plants if necessary) and American/Canadan Nightcrawlers. I also read that these populations sometimes die when the ground freezes, because they don't dig deep enough to avoid it. Covering the veggie garden with bags of leaves is an AWESOME idea!! Must help to keep the ground warm for the worms!! So I buried the cocoons in my veggie garden and also buried food scraps. The cocoons must have done well because I have HUGE nightcrawlers throughout the garden and yard. The European Nightcrawler (larger variety) must indeed be thriving in my clay. I highly recommend them. Happy Gardening - |

I have a food-scrap compost bin sunk in the ground with holes in it, and that's where I get the worms now. After we built the raised bed, a couple times riding the the bike down to the reservoir I picked up some nightcrawlers at the bait shop and introduced them to their new home. I see their evidence but rarely see them during the day even when planting (I don't turn the soil, just fork). Dan |
Muddycoinz, I have ordered Red Wrigglers a few times online with great success. You can usually get about 1000 worms for around $30. Just Google "worms" ... or you can even order them through Amazon.com! |

Cake Ideas, Please
posted by: suzieque on 05.15.2009 at 11:52 am in Kitchen Table Forum I've been asked to bring a 13x9" cake to an event. I could certainly just go buy a mix and a can of frosting, but I'd like to make it a bit more than that. Does anyone have any ideas for either doctoring up a mix or a from-scratch (but not too fancy) recipe? Remember - it must be 13x9, not a layer cake.

How to post a picture here!
posted by: oklamoni on 01.04.2007 at 09:52 am in Kitchen Table Forum First, you need a hosting site. The one a lot of peeps here use is Photobucket. This is a free site.
Thus, go to photobucket.com and open yourself an account. Next upload the picture you will want to post here. Really, uploading is easy. Just follow their directions. Once you have the picture uploaded to a "hosting site", you click on the HTML tag line, and your computer copies the info for that picture, and now go to the Kitchen Table, to the post where you want to insert the picture, and type your text and then use the CTRL V buttons and paste the picture in your text. Preview the message. If you picture is to big, you can go back to Photobucket and make it smaller. If your picture is really small.... well, then you uploaded a really small picture and as far as I know there isn't anything you can do. How is this everyone? Did I leave anything out? Please, post your directions if they are easier. Moni NOTES: <none>

Update: Man Arrested for Dropping Cruise Ship Anchor Sentenced to Jail
Update, March 7, 2012, 1:30 p.m.: A federal judge sentenced Rick Ehlert, who released the stern anchor on Holland America's Ryndam in November 2010, to four months incarceration, reports the
Associated Press
. The sentence, which was issued on Tuesday, calls for two months to be served in a federal prison and two months at his home. The terms will be followed by three years of probation. Ehlert was also ordered to pay a $7,500 fine and participate in substance abuse and mental health counseling.
Ultimately, Elhert and his legal team were able to convince the judge "that the conditions did not meet the legal standard that would have led to a greater sentence," reports
Tampa Bay Online
(TBO). While the prosecution argued that his actions could have led to the deaths or serious bodily injury to others aboard the ship -- the Coast Guard Investigative Service initially advised Holland America that the sudden release of anchors could puncture a vessel -- the judge did not agree.
Elhert blamed a combination of intoxication and curiosity for his actions. According to court filings obtained by TBO, he started drinking at about 9 p.m. on a formal night. Before releasing the 18-ton anchor at approximately 5:25 a.m., he consumed three or four glasses of wine, a wine glass full of vodka, five single martinis, four double martinis, one-quarter of a two-liter bottle of Grey Goose vodka (that he stole from a closed bar) and an Ambien. In an apology letter to the captain, Elhert, a boat owner, explained that he believed "that [he] was intrigued by the machinery and curious to see if [he] could operate it.
"I do remember trying to stop the anchor once it started moving," he wrote, "but it just kept going faster."
The original story appears below.
(November 30, 2010, 11 a.m. EST) -- A California man has been arrested and is facing charges of attempting to damage a vessel and endangering a ship's navigation after he dropped the anchor of
Holland America
over the weekend. A Cruise Critic member was onboard and recounts what happened on our message boards.
Press Association
is reporting that 44-year-old passenger Rick Ehlert entered a restricted area on Deck 11 of the 55,819-ton, 1,266-passenger ship while it was chugging from Costa Maya back to Tampa after a seven-night Caribbean cruise.
An FBI affidavit says the man -- who claims he was drunk when the incident occurred -- put on work gloves and entered the area and released the ship's rear anchor. It is also said that Ehlert threw a life buoy overboard.
Cruise Critic member
, who was on the Ryndam at the time of the Saturday incident, corroborates the account on our boards: "At about 7:15 a.m., the Captain announced that the aft anchor had been 'engaged' (meaning exactly what?) by someone at about 5:25 AM and that a ring/buoy was tossed from an upper deck at about 5:55 a.m. I wondered when the bridge became aware of the anchor 'engagement' as the ring toss was nearly half hour later.
"The Captain indicated that a rescue maneuver had been undertaken to retrieve the ring. The Captain encouraged (ie. demanded) that the responsible party step forward (nada) or general muster and head count would be required; this followed about 15 minutes later (and took about 75-90 minutes)."
Prior to disembark, woodofpine continues, Ehlert's name was announced on the P.A. He ends his report with a thought being echoed by many CC fans: "Sorry to say that passengers have to be treated like children."
According to the
Tampa Tribune
, Ehlert was identified on a security video (reportedly in formal-night attire), then interviewed by the FBI and the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service. The paper reports that the affidavit indicates "he told investigators he knew how to release the anchor because he owns a 50-foot boat with a similar anchor."
The affidavit states the ship wasn't damaged, says the Tribune, but it could have been, inasmuch as "releasing an anchor on a moving cruise ship could damage the rudder and propeller, disabling the vessel's ability to maneuver. It could puncture the ship, causing it to flood or sink."
In a statement, Holland America states it "will not provide any information beyond what has been included in the Criminal Complaint." However, the line does confirm the information in the affidavit and thanks the authorities for the "professional manner in which the investigation has been conducted."

"Jesse is a very unusual athlete, in my book," says Patti Campana of Amherst, Ohio, Csincsak's home town. "His mind thinks different than other kids his age." When Csincsak asked Campana to be on the board of his new nonprofit, she agreed immediately.
Their first fundraiser was a lowly steak fry. "We rented out the Amherst Eagles Hall," recalls Ryan Lahetta, who helped organize the event. More than 500 people showed up -- out of a town of 13,000. "Amherst is just thrilled with Jesse," Campana says.
Since then, dinners and other fundraisers -- sales of snowboarding calendars, mostly -- have provided J-SAK with an operating budget of about $10,000 per year. At first the idea was to support Ohio riders. But when Csincsak moved to Colorado, the program followed him.
Campana says that in addition to being promising riders, applicants for J-SAK grants must demonstrate a certain amount of social awareness. Last year, she recalls, J-SAK turned down two sisters who'd applied because they couldn't manage to see beyond their last run. "Their mother was an officer in USABA" -- the United States of America Snowboarding Association -- "and so they never really thought they had to do their part to give back," she says. Past recipients have agreed to mentor young riders and give talks to local youth organizations, among other projects.
"Jesse doesn't want to deal with people who aren't serious," says Campana. "We want people who want to make it to the top." Although J-SAK's board reviews applications, the final decision is made by Csincsak.
Baker-Haight, who is 25, applied after she happened to notice Csincsak's truck parked in Lake George. The truck had his website advertised on the back, and she logged on and applied for some cash. Csincsak called her a few days later and invited her for an interview. "We went riding through Peak 8's pipe," Baker-Haight recalls. "I'm not much into superpipe, and these were eighteen-foot walls." Still, four runs later, she had a new sponsor.
The amount was typically small -- a $300 season pass, about $500 in professional-organization membership dues and the promise to pay a handful of competition entry fees. Maybe later, if things go really well, J-SAK will buy Baker-Haight a gas card to help pay for the daily drive from her home in Woodland Park to Breckenridge. "But every bit helps," she says, pointing out that the most she's ever won at a competition was $100. "I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for Jesse."
J-SAK sponsors five other riders, one of whom, naturally, is Csincsak. But he says the real kick is being the guy who doles out the cash rather than being the one begging for it. "People come to me now. I get the phone calls instead of me calling them."
Of course, it shouldn't have to be that way. This past January, a record number of spectators traveled to Aspen to watch young athletes hurl their bodies off motorcycles, over jumps and down steep pitches. The Winter X Games included daily live telecasts on ESPN and were broadcast in ten languages to more than 145 countries and territories around the world. They were seen by more than 100 million people. Somebody's making money off of snowboarding; there's no reason the athletes involved should have to beg for scraps.

The Times has an exposé today on Mayor Bloomberg's eating disorder, the fallout from which the city of New York is suffering. Basically Hizzoner binge and purges constantly and on really bad days looks in the mirror and thinks "you don't deserve a third term because you're a fat fat fattie fat." The crescendo of the piece is the accompanying slideshow, entitled "The Mayor In Snack Mode," in which the Gray Lady presents us with close ups of Mikey Boy literally shoving food in his mouth (chicken wings? pizza? don't mind if I do!), after noting that just the sight of an unflattering picture can trigger foul moods and episodes of gluttonous ecstasy, followed by starvation, practically ensuring the guy's going to knock over a 7-11 tonight after work. It's pretty uncool of the paper, of course, and not very sensitive, but obviously our minds immediately turned to how we could exploit the Bloomie's skills for sport. Has Oyster Boy met his match? Pretty confident Mike would've actually had the Munchkins swallowed and digested by the buzzer. No special ruling necessary.

Under The Right Conditions, Imagine How Masterfully This Guy Could Massacre A Food Eating Challenge
By Bess LevinIf you want to work for an organization that is squarely focused on making profits, don't work for a UK bank. That was the most recent message from FSA Chairman Adair Turner. The age of profit as the primary motive of financial institutions should be replaced by "social usefulness". In fact, there may be some products out there so socially useless that they should be abandoned altogether, regardless of their ability to help repair roughed up British banks.
"Top management of banks — and in particular of any banks which are involved both in complex trading activities and in retail banking activities — need to operate within limits," Turner told 300 financial-services executives and lawmakers late yesterday in London. "There are some profitable activities so unlikely to have a social benefit, direct or indirect, that they should voluntarily walk away from them."
Welcome to the age of walking away from your problems solutions.
Banks Should Prioritize 'Social Benefit,' Turner Says [Bloomberg]
Lindy Boville: RBC Was The One Who Set Me Up With A Ponzi Scheming Boyfriend In The First Place
By Bess LevinOf course they probably didn't know he was a criminal at the time, but that's besides the point. According to the complaint filed by everyone's favorite moose fister, it was her colleagues at RBC who encouraged her to get involved with Westgate Capital founder (and noted con) James Nicholson, making the firm's claim that her relationship with him was inappropriate (and a fireable offense) kind of bull shit (Boves also says that the allegation she helped her Ponzier bf raise money for his fund is a lie). With regard to the sexual harassment Lindy claims she was subjected to during her time in the New York office, she's provided a few more examples of the pick-up lines used on her at work:
13. Robert McGuire incessantly commented on her appearance…On one occassion, Mr. McGuire told her to "keep [her] guns at bay," referring to her breasts.
25. Brit Railston also harassed Ms. Boville by repeatedly referencing the ways in which he would hit on her when he was drunk. He said in a message, "I'm going to be in town next week. Make sure you hide. Don't pick up the phone when I call after three drinks."
Bernie and Sir Allen may need elaborate schemes to swindle people out of billions, but in the emerging markets, fraud tends to be a bit more direct. Take for example Kazakhstan. While some may look to bad loans as the primary culprit for the outbreak of restructurings, one bank was being victimized by the time honored tradition of theft.
Abylkasym Mamyrbekov, ex-deputy chief executive of Alliance Bank, is accused of using deceptive accounting practices to shift 1.1 billion dollars (744 million euros) into privately held offshore bank accounts.
How exactly could the #2 in charge of the fourth largest lender in Kazakhstan get away with a ten-figure heist? Surely the guy in charge must have been keeping a watchful eye over his empire to guide it through the crisis.
The company's former chief executive, Zhomart Ertayev, was also arrested over the scheme in August.
Then again, you never leave your wing man.
He's just trying to be honest, okay?
Blankfein: I think we all know that greed can drive behavior, but it tends to be short term and ultimately destructive. Our leadership team stands out because most of our people have built their whole career at the firm and stayed through many years and many changes in the market. When our people leave they tend to go on to other positions — whether in government or other forms of public service — that no one would do if their were motives were financial. Those characteristics don't make me think of "greed."
SPIEGEL: So only modest, good people work for Goldman Sachs? We hardly believe that.
Blankfein: I have stated my honest view of things.

Lehman Alums Eye Fund Launch (NYP)
Get in on this while you still can: " A little over a year after Lehman's demise, former top trader Alex Kirk is said to be joining with the former second-in-command, Bart McDade, to launch a fund called River Birch Capital. While details are scarce, sources said Kirk, a 25-year Lehman veteran, has been working the phones for months, with an eye toward getting the investment fund off the ground. River Birch could aim to purchase distressed assets and other fixed-income debt, including high-yield securities — areas in which Kirk has expertise. One source said some of the billions in mortgages and other esoteric securities still owned by the defunct Lehman might be on the radar."

A day after the Amaranth clawback campaign kicked off, their target, Touradji Capital explained to their investors that the $350 million lawsuit against them is nothing but a misguided attempt to partially right a $6 billion wrong.
Amaranth's action "is merely an offshoot of the frivolous litigation brought against the firm by two disgruntled former employees and one of their family members," (Touradji CEO Gil) Caffray wrote.
So what if they've got a couple guys who think they're still owed $25 million (each) in back pay. Gentry Beach and Rob Vollero must have bigger things on their mind than what allegedly went down with Amaranth and how much they might get one day in exchange for remembering some timely details, right?
In an April 15 deposition for the district court of Harris County, Texas, for the Playa case, Gentry Beach, citing his unidentified colleagues, said Paul Touradji signed a non-trade agreement with Amaranth so he could review their metals positions when Amaranth was shutting its fund during September and October 2006.
"From what I heard, Mr. Touradji then aggressively pressed these positions against them," Beach said in the deposition.

Plans in the works to replace Rexford bridge
REXFORD - When the DOT laid out its plan Thursday night to replace the Rexford Bridge, some in the room at the local firehouse expressed their doubts. Concerns run from expected headaches caused by drivers who don't know how to use a roundabout to a feared reduction in response times from the local fire department.
The project director, Richard Filkins, told the crowd any improvement to the stretch or road between Riverview in Rexford and Aqueduct in Niskayuna will improve travel through that congested area. He said travel time would be reduced by a third through the use of a new through-lane heading north at the intersection of 146 and Riverview, a roundabout on the Niskayuna side and the addition of one southbound lane on the new bridge. Filkins said DOT took a "hard look" at building a four-lane bridge but said the cost and the extended construction time were two factors weighing against that idea. He said such a plan would also have require four lanes all the way from the bridge to each intersection, which would have required an environmental impact study.
Filkins said the project will cost about $25 million. The design approval is expected in March. Filkins says the type of bridge has not yet been selected but it may well end up looking like the Crescent bridge between Colonie and Halfmoon. According to Filkins, the money for the job has yet to be secured and he had no estimate for how long the construction will take. He said the earliest it would begin is sometime next year.
The bridge was built in 1965 and carries 22,000 vehicle a day. Filkins said the new bridge, to be built just west of the existing one, will include a lane for pedestrians and bicyclists. According to Filkiins no historic buildings will be affected and there will be twenty-three private property-takings. He said the property includes no structures, only small strips of land.
Rexford Assistant Fire Chief Ed Krowiecki said he is concerned about the plan to close the north end of Main Street, a move he says will affect their response times, possibly by less than a minute. He pointed out in an emergency every second counts. DOT Spokesman Bryan Viggiani told CBS6 News, the Main Street closure is "very much up in the air. We are taking the concerns of the residents and the fire department very seriously."
One man suggested a better plan would be to build yet another bridge over the river at a different location. Filkins said there's no money for it. He said funding levels also prevent making the lanes on the bridge reversible, saying that would require people to move barriers when necessary.

I love the upstate region of South Carolina. West of Pickens in and around the lakes. Table Rock in the same area. On the opposite side of the state I love Manteo near the outer banks. Love the Elizabethan Gardens, the Aquarium, the Museum and the little seafront area with all the shops and tourists. I am so lucky in that I live near Lake Benson in Garner (actually the lake and park were given to Raleigh, but it's IN Garner). I take the hound there twice a day for a walk around the place on the trails (1.6 miles). In the winter it is so peaceful and deserted - I can talk to myself if needed and she can chase anything that moves. |
mmm- i really love Southport, down near wilmington, and the oak island area. quiet and scenic. I love the landscaping at the zoo- i enjoy that as much as the animals. The lower Pisgah/Transylvania county area with all its waterfalls in western NC is wonderful, as is the maggie valley. locally, we make a couple trips a year out to duke gardens - we think that's a real gem. and of course, JCRA and UNC bot garden as well. Raleigh Rose garden is a hidden jewel. Umstead is a nice place to see nature in its glory while hiking up some actual hills! Eno is very pretty as well. we love lake benson as well,though we don't make daily use of it like john does. it's big enough that even when under weekend use you can breathe. they are supposed to run a greenway within a few years towards the park from behind us where they are building houses and i can't wait. that will make walking or riding bikes to the park much easier for us. seems silly to drive there when we're less than a mile. Babcock state park in southern WVA is gorgeous. I love the area around charlottesville, too- but i'm guessing that's farther afield than you were thinking. |

I haven't seen many "jewels" since moving here but have already enjoyed Table Rock State Park and Paris Mountain State Park. Both should be GORGEOUS when the Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels bloom. I'm also quite partial to Reedy River Park and all of Main St, Greenville. It's what convinced me to move here permanently. My son goes to Coker College in Hartsville, SC and they have the Kalmia Gardens there but I am waiting for Spring to check that place out. I've heard Charleston does a home and garden tour. Maybe one of these days I'll get down there to see what all the fuss is about. |
There is a book, CAROLINA EDENS, that lists many parks/gardens that most people would miss.Haywood Community College in Clyde, NC, is worth seeing when the dalhias are blooming. UNC-C has some great plants that many people miss. One jewel that is NOT in this book is a cemetery in Salisbury...can't remember the name...but it is really wonderful in the spring. The focus then is the 100's of tulips and other spring flowering plants. Wonderful! I am certain their Chamber of Commerce will know the name and directions. If you live nearby or are on the interstate one day, take a short detour to see it. |

Tammy, we love the Southport and Oak Island areas too. Southport is like you stepped back in time! That's one area I believe I could live. Calabash is nice too. John, we like the aquarium up that way and there's an area around Ocean City we like. Still have to check out the Elizabethan Gardens. Transplanted, that's an area I don't think we've ever been to, sounds lovely and interesing. ncrescue, We like Salisbury (neat old hardware store called Rufty), it's very quaint and laid back. We'll have to check out the cemetery. Some of the old roses you'll find at older cemeteries are tuff little plants and so fragrant. My husband has a memory of an old cemetery where they had what folks referred to as an old cemetery iris. He took me there one time to see some old family graves for genealogy purposes but they had just finished blooming. Not the Carolinas but here are some places in East TN. I think we've been to all of them multiple times. Have had more picnics in that area than I can count, even winter picnics! My dh grew up in that area and his Dad preached all over those hollows. Roaring Fork auto tour is incredible. Too small to drive RV's, Buses, etc due to old growth trees right up against the road. As I recall there use to be an old country store (pot belly stove and all that was NOT for decoration, lol) along there that we stopped in one day and there was an elderly gentleman sitting outside whittling that entertained my kids (and us) with stories while we looked around. He had as much or more fun than we did. There's another auto tour that takes you back into the hills where a lot of cottage/craft people live and sell their wares and you HAVE to see Cades Cove early morning or late evening. It's a one way loop thru an old mountain community. Most of the homes are gone, but they have preserved a few. Old cemeteries and churches, from the civil war era, lots of trails to hike and so forth. In the spring you'll see huge patches of daffs out in a field where a homestead use to be. Lots of dear, bear, skunks, etc. If you go in the early morn or late eve you'll see more of the critter kingdom. Slow down or you'll miss it!! I've heard people say they went thru it and didn't see the big deal. Those are the people that we pull over for and allowed to pass us. The deer cross from the wooded areas on one side of the road to the fields on the other in the day time and back across in the evenings, and they'll often come right across the road in front of you. Also when you cross the little streams look up a ways into the woods and you may see them in that area. There's a picnic area where kids (and big kids) can wade/splash in the water and we've often seen baby bears with their mamas roaming around. Umm, stay away from them! My daughter chased a family of skunks thru there when she was little calling out to them 'here kitty kitty..' luckily mom must have sensed she wasn't a threat! They also have an old mill arera where they hold special events thru the year. We especially love Old Timers Day with all the fiddle, banjo, etc. players. There's also the Townsend area, Greenback, the old Greenbriar school, the sinks, there are some old covered bridges in the area. There's a small power plant on I-40 right on the state line between NC and TN. If you take off back thru there it goes thru the Cosby area and then on to Gatlinburg. It's one of those areas where the back end of your car meets the front end, continual hairpin turns. Yep, we've roamed those hills, lol. |
Here is a link that might be useful: east TN
One of the prettiest places in west NC in my opinion is the Deep Creek area of the Smokey Mountain Nat'l park. Its not too far from me and I sneak over there every chance I get. There is not a time of year that it is not stunning in its beauty. Even with the worst of the drought, Indian Creek falls and Tom's Branch falls are beautiful and all within easy walking distance. Juneywhank Falls aren't surviving the drought as well, but it is still worth the climb. You can hike, ride horseback, or in the summer be brave and tube down the creek. I like to just take a book and read or pack a picnic lunch. I have taken many family members and all agree it is a much different experience than going up to the Newfound Gap area. Look back at the pics I posted of last fall's foliage and the pic with the bridge was taken in Deep Creek. Once you go and see how awesome it is, don't tell anyone because we don't want it to get crowded :o) |
that's where we went for vaca summer before last and my kids are begging to go back again this year. we tubed i think 4 days out of the 6 or 7 we were in the area. it's gorgeous- while they tubed i was concentrating on shooting them and waterfalls. one or 2 runs down was enough for me- that water's frigid!! :) |
This picture illustrates why everyone should visit Craggy Gardens in mid-June at least once in his or her lifetime: It's a 20-year-old photograph that's a bit faded, but you get the idea. I love the aviary at the zoo in Asheboro. I haven't been there for several years, but I think it's one of the best aviaries in the country. I've been to the aviary in Pittsburgh and the NC aviary beats that one hands down. Two of my favorite spots in the Triangle Area are in Chapel Hill: the NC Botanical Garden and the sisters' garden on Gimghoul Road. The sisters have a Charleston type garden that is at its peak during azalea season, but it's always lovely. |
Anybody ever go to the Azalea Festival in Wilmington? Not mentioned here, wonder why. I am planning our first trip and could use your opinions. Sounds like a good excuse for a post also. |

So many good suggestions I don't want to lose it so bumping to the top! It's been a while so feel free to add some more suggestions. With gas prices skyrocketing local places to escape to is good! :) |

First Known Use of PATENT
adjective \ˈpat-ənt, British usually ˈpāt-\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of PATENT
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Government grant to an inventor of the exclusive right to make, use, or sell an invention, usually for a specified term. It may be granted for a process or method that is new, useful, and not obvious, or for a new use of a known process, machine, or composition of matter or material, including asexually reproduced plants and genetically engineered organisms. It may also be granted for any new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture. The first recorded patent for an industrial invention was granted in 1421 in Florence to the architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi. Until recently there were wide variations in the patent systems implemented by different countries. The duration of patents recognized generally ranged from 16 to 20 years. In some countries (e.g., France), some patents were given shorter terms because the inventions had an overall general usefulness. In communist countries (e.g., the Soviet Union), patents per se were not recognized; instead, certificates were issued to inventors to ensure that they received some form of compensation for their work. The agreement establishing the World Trade Organization in the 1990s specifies a minimum set of exclusive rights that all patentees must be accorded and mandates a minimum patent term of 20 years from the date an application is filed. Patents are considered personal property and may be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred.

The husband has to treat his wife in a good and kind manner, and to spend on her food, drink, clothing and accommodation, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
âand live with them honourablyâ
al-Nisaâ 4:19
âAnd they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wiseâ
al-Baqarah 2:228
Ahmad (20025) and Abu Dawood (2142) narrated that Muâaawiyah ibn Haydah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I said, âO Messenger of Allaah, what are the rights of the wife of any one of us over him?â He said: âThat you should feed her when you feed yourself, clothe her when you clothe yourself, you should not hit her on the face, you should not curse her and you should not forsake her except in the house.â
Al-Albaani said concerning this hadeeth in Saheeh Abi Dawood: (it is) hasan saheeh.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined good treatment of women in more than one hadeeth. Hence the husband has to fear Allaah with regard to his wife, and give each person his or her rights. Honouring one's parents and upholding the ties of kinship do not conflict with treating one's wife kindly and honouring her and taking care of her. The best that can be mentioned concerning that is the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): âThe best of you is the one who is best to his family, and I am the best of you to my family.â Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3895) and Ibn Maajah (1977). Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) regarded being kind to one's family as being the criterion with regard to who is best. Whoever wants to be one of the best of the Muslims should be kind to his family, which includes being kind to oneâs wife, children and relatives.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: âYou will never spend anything seeking thereby the Face of Allaah, but you will be rewarded for it, even (the food) that you put in your wifeâs mouth.â Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 56.
You should examine the reasons for the shortcomings in the way he treats you; perhaps that is due to a shortcoming on your part with respect to his rights; perhaps you do not pay attention to him, or adorn yourself for him, or hasten to meet his needs.
You should be more patient, because there is a lot of good in being patient and it brings a great deal of reward. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
âand be patient. Surely, Allaah is with those who are As‑Saabiroon (the patient)â
al-Anfaal 8:46
âVerily, he who fears Allaah with obedience to Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds), and is patient, then surely, Allaah makes not the reward of the Muhsinoon (good‑doers. See V.2:112) to be lostâ
Yoosuf 12:90
âSo be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for the Muttaqoon (the pious)â
Hood 11:49
We ask Allaah to put our affairs and the affairs of all the Muslims straight.
And Allaah knows best.

Our 350-acre campus overlooks the Minnesota River Valley and the busy streets of Mankato. Located in south central Minnesota, Mankato is a fast-growing community of 50,000 just 80 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Mankato, a progressive and student-friendly community, consistently ranks as one of the most livable communities in the country. In fact, Mankato was recently designated a "dreamtown" by Demographics Daily, named the 14th most livable micropolitan city, 16th in the nation for quality of life, and one of the top 100 for young people. Rolling Stone magazine even ranked Mankato as one of the top 50 college towns for "schools that rock" for the area's rich and diverse music scene.
The community, like the campus, is large enough to offer all the opportunities and advantages you'd expect from a larger city — top-notch recreational opportunities, sporting events, shopping, festivals, restaurants, diverse cultural attractions and a vibrant nightlife — but in a convenient, accessible and easy-to-navigate setting.
With a spectacular natural environment as a backdrop, Minnesota State Mankato and the community come together to create an ideal environment for living, growing, working and learning.
"The city is large enough to offer variety," says Rachel Busch, a student from Mason City, Iowa, double majoring in Chemistry and Secondary Chemistry Education with a minor in Mathematics, "yet small enough to offer community."

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates , to be ready to every good work, | 1 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, |
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. | 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. |
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived , serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. | 3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. |
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared , | 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, |
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done , but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; | 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, |
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; | 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, |
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. | 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. |

The author succeeds in leading the reader through an example application utilizing techniques that have been lumped under the name "Ajax". I suspect that many readers learn as I do by testing and experimenting with code examples. To get the most out of the book, these readers should have access to a desktop or ISP web server with Php capability.
Throught out the book, the author refers the reader to other resources that cover topics referred to briefly or noted as simply not in the scope of the book. Examples are installing Apache/PHP, verifying data input, security considerations etc.
The book is a excellent read for those who have already delved into one of the pre-Ajax volumes that covered MySql/PHP in depth and want an Ajax upgrade. Others with basic application implementation needs will benefit from the overview, example code and resource tips provided.
Every step of the project is explained at a level that assumes you might not have seen that type of code before. But the exact syntax of each line of code isn't always explained so you may have to follow up with more reading and research if you want to adapt what you've learned to your own project later.
I already have a book from Larry Ullman (on PHP5 and SQL). So I know the man is both a great programmer and an excellent teacher. I already know the basics of Ajax (XMLHTTPRequest object, asynchronous requests etc). But I'm always interested in studying case studies. The book was unexpensive and short so I went for it. And I'm really happy I did. The project developed in this book clearly shows how to deal with server side problems and even to deal with a client on which javascript is disabbled (or blocked by a security app).
Two thumbs up for this book.

Director David R. Ellis, best known for directing Samuel L. Jackson in cult hit Snakes on a Plane, passed away suddenly yesterday in Johannesburg, South Africa while preparing for his adaptation of Kite. He was 60 years old. No cause of death has been reported.
The director's planned adaptation of neo-noir anime Kite would have re-teamed him with his Snakes on a Plane star, Samuel L. Jackson.
Starting out as an actor in Los Angeles, Ellis went on to become second unit director on The Matrix Reloaded and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Ellis' own films include horror film Final Destination 2, Kim Basinger vehicle Cellular, and Shark Night 3D.
"So sad to hear of David R Ellis passing! So talented, so kind, such a Good Friend. He'll be missed. Gone too soon!" tweeted Samuel L. Jackson on the director's death.
[Update] ANN reports that Kite creator Yasuomi Umetsu stated the following about Ellis' death, and the future of the Kite live-action adaptation:
Just before filming began on the live-action Hollywood adaptation of Kite, director David Ellis passed away in a hotel in Johanesburg. He was 60. The reason behind his death hasn't been officially announced, but he died of illness. I was also extremely shocked when I heard the news of his death… And it is such a shame I cannot even express.
This is because I was very much looking forward to seeing David's talent. It was David who had ultimately ordered that the live-action script be brought closer to the anime version. At first, the live-action script changed the entire world and story so much that it became a completely different work. The one who brought it back to the original was David. Right when he came to begin filming, this happened… It's such a shame and so distressing that I can't stand it.
David, thank you for everything up until now. May you rest in peace…
Once we find someone to direct the live-action movie and get back to where we were, we can begin filming. The planning still continues, so for the sake of David as well, we are completing a great piece of work.
