Was wondering if anyone had any Nellie R Stevens Holly's
and if so, what your opinion is on them? Thanks, Beth |
Follow-Up Postings:
I hope it's ok for a 'Southerner' to jump in here. ;) I have heard nothing but excellent reports on Nellie R. Stevens holly. Neil Sperry, who is a renown gardener from Texas A&M says it's probably the best. Good luck! |
I planted one at my son's house about six years ago, and it looks wonderful and has been completely trouble free. Foliage is a very dark green, so it makes a nice contrast with the other shrubs and trees around, and it does a great job in all seasons of eliminating a view of a neighbor's bathroom window. I recently saw an old one, though, standing three stories tall and very wide, which made a lot more of an impression on me than the mere paper description of ultimate size did. We've planted ours much too close to the house. |
I work in lawn maintenance and my company has a customer with a row of old Nellies on the property. These plants are all massive with the largest easily 40'. They always seem to have berries and flowers present. The plants look outstanding all year and they are never bothered by the climate. The only thing that detracts from their presence is the huge amount of falling dead leaves in spring. With plants as big as these are, the job of keeping the ground clean seems never ending. I have never seen a Nellie that didn't look great, but the normal spring leaf drop in a manicured situation presents ongoing work. Of course this is an issue with any broadleaf evergreen, they drop their oldest leaves eventually. |
does this holly tolorate cold weather? zone 6.. and 7 it gets 20 below here |

Does anyone know what the width of these are in say 20 years? I think we planted ours too close to the house also..... |
Bumblebeez, my parents have a Nellie Stevens Holly on the side of their home in Atlanta, which is presumably as old as the house (22 years). It is as tall as their multi-level home, which must be at least 25 feet if not 30. I estimate the width is 8-12 feet. Theirs is fairly close to the foundation and should have been planted farther out away from the house, but it doesn't look too bad overall. Nellie Stevens Hollies look fine pruned if you want to keep it inbounds. |

Thanks! That's smaller than I was thinking and we have room for that size. I have a hedge planted on one side of our house near the property line but still 25' or so from the house. I guess I'll have a shade garden over there eventually. |
We moved our's last spring. It was on a corner and was too close. We were as careful as we could be, but ended up, after a couple of hours of digging, pulling it out with a truck! We were as gentle as we could be, but the tap root(s) were tough. Anyway, it has survived a summer and a winter in it's new spot and looks happy. I am too. |
If there is any problem with this plant, it's that people don't realize how big it wants to grow. The trunk and branches will become very large, too, making this plant the wrong choice as a typical foundation plant. |
Even the "dwarf" Nellie gets around 10x10. |
Where can I go to get pictures/guidelines for how to prune my Nellie R. Stevens hollies (planted last year)? I don't want a formal, manicured look, but would like to keep a nice shape. |
THANKS! Great hints on pruning. |
After listening to my local garden center advice, and having 10 leyland cypress die -- I've decided to ask for other opinions before planting again. We have a shaded area (about 4 - 6 hours of intermittent sunlight in the summer and 4 - 6 hours of nearly direct sunlight in the winter) and need to plant a screen to hide the neighbor's area behind our yard. I think that the Nellie R Stevens hollies might do well in this area, but thought I'd ask for other opinions than my local garden center. We put down soil conditioner with the leylands and the ground stays moist (we have the area mulched and we water as needed). Any other tips that you can provide for success this this plant would be great! Thank you! |
Lyn, you might consider a raised planting of sasanqua camelias, most varieties will get 10'-15' tall and wide. It is a very adaptable plant as far as sunlight goes. |

I just planted 10 rather large Nellie Stevens Holly trees/bushes ....thus the user name, achingback. They have have created the desired hedge to shield street side....Question ......two of the taller plants ( 6ft.) are heavy with berrys and shiny leafs ....the shorter plants (4ft.) have no berrys and a haze on the leafs that the seller said was caused by minerals deposited when watering. Should I be concerned about the health of these plants? Any thoughts? Thank You, Nancy |

Are these the hollys that have hard prickly teethed leaves or the ones with soft pliable leaves? |
How much do these Nellies grow when they are babies (2ft)? I was wanting a fast growing hedge. But I don't know what to plant. It has to be evergreen and dense and fast growing as I have a new road going in behind my place. It should help with noise and air pollution if possible. How big are Nellies or other evergreens you may suggest when one buys them from the nursery. I have hardpan soil here, too. Awful stuff. Will these tress be able to fight through that? Thanks and can you email me at email@example.com Steph. |
How quickly do Nellies grow In general pretty fast. Where are you? In zone 7 I would plant them in the fall. You can expect a fast growth rate after the first growing season. That said, even though they aren't my favorite plant, if you have the room and don't mind having a plant that doesn't look manicured, it is hard to beat eleagnus pungens for reducing road noise. They are a maintenance nightmare if you require a manicured look. best to go with the nellie if that is the case. Good luck! |

i am looking to plant about 20 plants on my property. the area is over an area where there are some cables. i have dug about 12in deep and not run into any, but there is a cable box close by. do these roots grow deep? would i run into a problem planting these plants over the cables? |

Does anyone know where I can buy 50-100 nellie stevens holly seedlings in bulk? What can I expect to pay? I am in Atlanta and we want to build a hedge around our property. I've already got around 80 Leyland Cypress seedlings in the ground. |

I planted three seven foot tall Nellie Stevens hollies last October and they looked great until February when they stated turning brown. They are under a black walnut. Are they not tolerant of black walnut toxicity? |
A sub-division went in the 20 acres of woods behind our house. At least 23 years ago, we planted 15 long needle pines. 6 hollies (bufordi, I think) 4 red tips across the back of out lot. We have lost all but 4 pines. The last one was huge but fell one night ??. The hollies have been very slow growing. They are about 7 feet tall now. The red tips are huge and have been the best ones. they are up there almost as tall as the pines. We paid $60 each for the 15 pines (plus a rental fee for a ditch witch thing to plant them), $28-30 each for the hollies and about $3.00 each for the red tips. Red tips were the best...Sarah |

I thought this holly is drought resistant. Monrovia says that it needs regular watering. It does well in North Texas heat? |

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 Zac!
Facts about Zac
- Breed: Schnauzer (Standard)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Zac's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cody, Lilly, Mason, Onyx, and Zac are one big, happy family. They were dropped off at Animal Care Services as unwanted strays. We received a call from ACS live release team that they didnt want to risk putting these cuties in to the kennels and expose them to illness so we rushed on over and scooped them up. They like playing, rooling around, and wrestling with each other and then gathering into a pile to take a nap. Most of the time they can sleep through a tornado but the slighest sound of kibble hitting a bowl is all it takes to wake them for lunch. They have done well around other dogs and dont know what a cat is yet but since they are young they can be taught that cats are friends. This little family loves one thing above all else (including food) and that would be children. They loved to be carried and enjoy stealing puppy kisses from kids who happen to wander too close. If you are interested in any of these little ones please visit www.snipsa.org to fill out an adoption application or email us at email@example.com
Other Pets at SNIPSA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zac, a San Antonio Schnauzer (Standard)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Standard)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Schnauzer (Standard)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 Schnauzer (Standard)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Schnauzer (Standard)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

Traverse axes while tool is being changed
After the tool change command M06 the axes can continue travel without having to
wait for the tool change acknowledgement and, e.g., execute traversing blocks
without tool compensation. Travel only stops in a block with an compensation selected
(D no.) until the tool change is signaled by the PLC.
Requirement: MD 20270: CUTTING_EDGE_DEFAULT= 0 or = --2
Example: Traversing blocks between tool change and cutting edge selection
N15 M06 ; Tool changeN20 D0
N25 G00 X100 Z200 ; Traverse machine axesN30 Y150 M79
Activating the tool compensation.
Check whether tool has been changed. preprocessing
stop until tool change preparations are completed.
Main run waits until tool change is acknowledged
from PLC
The preprocessing stop is maintained until the tool change preparations have been
completed. The main run waits at N35 (D1) until the tool change has been executed
and acknowledged.HTH,SteveA
I don't think that is a matter of tool compensation, because the program is something like that:
N 100 T="Drill 20"
At first tool change, everything is OK. At the second tool change, (because they rerun the program the magazine is not moving) the pointer on the screen passes over N100 and stops at N105 with "Waiting for TC acknowledgment". In the PLC I've checked and it's seems that both signals for prepare change and perform change (DB72.DBX 4.2 and DB72.DBX4.1) is coming at the same time. I checked the PLC acknowledgment for tool preparation and it's OK, but I think that the NC wait another kind of acknowledgment since it sanded both signals. More, in the tool change cycle in the NC, I have more movement commands before the effective tool change but they are not executed because the NC stops before M06. Is the very first time when I encountered this kind of problem since the machine is running and they made many other programs on the machine and everything was OK.
By the way: I put a T0 and M06 before N5 and the tool change was performed afterwards.
Anyway thank you for your replay
It's not clear from the sample whether the M6 calls a subroutine or not. If there is still a D word active, block execution will stop at the M6 until the tool acknowledgement. Since it works with T0, which has no active D word, that seems like it might be related.Even with a D0 programmed in the M6 subroutine, you have to set the MD parameter for cutting edge default to -2 for it to work.SteveA
Yesterday, I managed to dig up dipper. First of all I want to tell you that the tool change is made partially in the NC (M06 call a subroutine in which I made all the necessary movements: spindle positioning, movement on Y and Z axis necessary for tool change when spindle is the change position DB72, loop for Block search active…) and partially in the PLC (magazine movement, effective tool change, movements necessary for tool change for the magazine as change position DB71 and acknowledgements). I tried to change MD20700 first in 0, but the result was even worse. The tool change wasn't completed and still the machine continuing the movement in the program. After that I changed MD 20700 in -2 but no result. After a wile I understood what it's happening. When the NC call the M06 subroutine, due to D0 it call a REPOSA subroutine and in the same time generate a Block search command (???) (only in NC) which bypass the normal tool change from the subroutine, and reach in a point in which due to the fact that the spindle is still rotating (M5 and SPOSA was bypassed), the PLC program stop. So I think that now I must program in the PLC the same movements as in subroutine (partially I done for the manually load/unload command).
Anyway I think that now I can solve the problem, and I want to thank you for your ideas.

Hello, Im looking at purchasing a new zero turn mower. I have it narrowed down to Scag Freedom Z 52" deck with 26 hp Briggs vs John Deere EZtrak Z445 54" with 25hp Kawasaki. Does anyone have any expierience as to why one maybe a better purchase than the other? perhaps something technical that makes one stand out above the other?
Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
John Deere / Scag differences: - separate Kanzaki pump/Parker gear motors on JD vs integrated design on Scag - plus JD - Std. Kawasaki engine on JD vs Briggs on Scag, although a 19HP Kaw is available on the Scag for a few hundred more - plus JD - John Deere nation wide service/parts inventory support - plus JD (IMO) - Scag has a ROPS as standard - plus Scag (important if you have significant slopes) Looks to me like most all the other important items are pretty much the same between the two, even deck steel gauge and deck lift/adjustment system. Which surprises me because I would have thought the Scag would have a heavier fabricated deck for that price. Maybe someone else can shed some light on differences. |

The Scag Freedom Z 52' gets so very good reviews. I like larso1 I would opp for the 19hp Kawasaki over the Briggs 26. 26 Briggs ELS 19 HP Kawi as you can see the 19hp Kawasaki has more Torque than the 26 Briggs ELS. So the 7 more hp doesn't help out that much. |

There's a lot to like about the Z445. ROPS are over rated in my book due to the fact they do look cool, and if you need roll over protection is a must have. But in my case ROPS would just be in the way getting hung up on every tree I own. I don't have ant roll over situations on my place. Nor do I plan to ever be in a roll over situation. Out side the engine choices I would have to demo both mowers to see which mower felt better to me. |

Thanks for the follow up guys. I hadn't noticed the torque differentials that you had mentioned. So the pump difference is better because its not integrated on John Deere.... Is this for future replacement purposes better or just a better setup in general? Scag has a lot of points about things not needing maintenance (grasse) etc, anyone see any benefits here? or is it so simplistic John Deere doesnt say anything about it? Thanks again for you help. |

There's a lot to like about both of those mowers. I haven't read many reports about the Scag transaxles being a bad choice. As far a sealed bearings, I like them. I feel like the Scag spindles might be stronger and easier to maintenance. Just take the center bolt out, push out the bearings, push new ones in. That's how just about all commercial mowers are now days. Fast, cheap, and easy to repair and replace. I don't think either mower have very many grease points if any. I feel the Scag has a stronger frame and deck. But hey! I still like that Deere. I was there once looking at both mowers a year ago. I like them both then. I think the Scag will cost more out the door. But I think it'll cost more maintaining the Deere. Heck! What do I know??? I didn't buy either one of them. I bought a Bad Boy Pup instead. I've never met a mower I couldn't like, as long as it was mowing!! You need to go look at them. Sit on em. Look all around them, and underneath them. Get the dealer to let you drive each one around on grass mowing. One has to catch your eye more some than the other. Flip a coin, Deere It never stops until you get the one you just have to have. Both are good Mowers! ms |

Protea Dental Studio Earns DAMAS Certification
Posted on April 15, 2014
Protea Dental Studio President Leon Hermanides, CDT, is proud to announce that Protea earned its DAMAS certification on April 1, 2014. This marks the conclusion of a years long process to ensure the high-end esthetics dental laboratory meets one of the strictest voluntary quality assurance standards in the dental industry.
"The certification is important because I believe in competency standards and their importance in delivering the highest quality product for our customers and their patients," says Hermanides.
DAMAS requirements are based upon the sound quality system management principles specified in ISO, but are written specifically for the dental laboratory setting. The standards required by DAMAS closely mirror the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Quality System/Good Manufacturing Practice (QS/GMP) specifications, which are required of all dental laboratories conducting business in the United States.

All is calm, all is not quite so bright.
The Scrooge-like image rated coverage around the country: four grocery-store employees tackling a Salvation Army bell-ringer.
A ringer in every sense of the word.
The gong show got under way last Thursday when David Duncan, who was stationed at the Salvation Army outpost at the Safeway at Sixth and Corona, started spewing a little too much holiday cheer. "When I walked up, there was a Safeway employee with the bucket, with this little guy trailing behind him," remembers shopper Tana Wedum, who stopped in around two that afternoon. "About thirty seconds later, you heard the sound of the bucket hitting the floor and a guy yelling to the service desk, 'Call 911.'"
Wedum was standing by the service desk, where the clerk seemed frozen. "I took a couple of steps around," she reports, "saw the scuffle and told the clerk, 'No, really, call 911. Tell them two guys are fighting at the front door.'"
While the clerk was on the phone with 911, Wedum provided an eyewitness description of the fracas: "two African-American males, one in a white shirt, red tie, one dressed like a bum." The well-dressed male was the store manager, and the other? "I thought maybe he was trying to steal the bucket," Wedum says.
By the time the cops arrived, four store employees were subduing the bum, who turned out to be the Salvation Army's assigned bell-ringer. "He was a little guy, and it took four men to hold him down," Wedum marvels. "I thought he had to be on meth or crack or something."
It wasn't until she caught news reports the next day that Wedum realized that Duncan, who was on his second year as a bell-ringer and his eleventh outstanding warrant (nine for public consumption of alcohol, two for trespassing), was simply drunk as a skunk. "If drinking gives you this kind of superhuman strength," she says, "I may start drinking a bottle of Jack every night and just leave my doors unlocked."
With thousands of bell-ringers nationwide -- about 200 of them in the Denver area -- the Duncan dilemma represents just a drop in the bucket. The nonprofit faces bigger challenges this season. For example, Target, which has a longstanding no-solicitation policy, recently closed a loophole that had previously exempted the Salvation Army's ringers; Wal-Mart is taking full advantage of its competitor's move by matching donations through Christmas at over 3,600 stores.
And the Salvation Army will take all the help it can get, because so many people out there need help. "We're seeing a lot more working families," says the Army's Becky O'Guin. "They need a little extra help to get them through the first of the year." That's in addition to all of those who can't find work -- even as a bell-ringer, a job that usually involves a more careful vetting process than Duncan went through. With just a few days to go, the Denver battalion is still shy of this year's goal of $950,000; last year, bell-ringers raised $747,000 in the metro area.
But the season's over at the Sixth Avenue Safeway. When Wedum stopped by the store again Monday, there was no bucket or bell-ringer in sight. "I think they've had enough ho-ho-ho for this year," she concludes.

With star quarterback/running back David Yancey likely out six-to-eight weeks — essentially ending the Purdue recruit's high school career — Lake Central still was generally in control, managing to advance to next week's semifinals against Crown Point.
Lake Central (8-2) held Portage (3-7) to 63 total yards.
"Our defense the past two years has been fantastic," LC coach Brett St. Germain said. "It's a testament to our coaches. Our kids are playing with a lot of grit — we have guys injured on that side of the ball, too."
But, of course, most of the attention has centered on the dynamic Yancey, who injured his left leg in last week's regular-season finale against Valparaiso. After initial tests revealed "soft tissue" damage behind his knee, further tests revealed a stress fracture in his lower leg and a slight tear of his PCL, St. Germain said.
"All indications are that David is out six-to-eight weeks," St. Germain said.
Arvanitis again helped pick up the slack. The 240-pound bruiser had 205 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries, after going for 110 and two on 25 last week, rarely getting tackled on first contact. With backup running back sophomore Brandon Scott also sidelined after suffering an ankle injury in practice, Arvanitis admittedly was tired after the heavy workload — "I'm worn out," he said — but the senior has flourished in a more featured role.
"I knew if I ever was called upon, I would do what I do," Arvanitis said. "I'd do my best. … We showed up like we didn't have any injuries at all.
"I like this kind of pressure. I like the do-or-die kind of thing. I don't want this train to stop rolling. I love these guys."
Lake Central scored the only points it would need on quarterback Alec Olund's 7-yard touchdown run with 4:15 left in the first quarter.
LC made it 14-0 when Arvanitis scored from 18 yards with 17.9 seconds left in the third quarter. That touchdown was set up when Mitchell Oskam intercepted a pass from Rashaan Coleman, operating out of the wildcat, at the Portage 38.
In the final game of his high school career, Coleman rushed for 55 yards on 29 carries, and had an 11-yard reception.
"It doesn't have to be pretty," St. Germain said. "At the end of the day, it's about advancing and getting to next week."

Need to replace driver side fender
Posts: 11
My wife dented up the fender pretty good-can't claim on insurance. Found a "same color" fender at a salvage yard. My question: It looks like there's just about 5 or 6 bolts on the top and a couple of screws to hold the black plastic around the wheel well. Are there any other hidden bolts that's going to make me wish I never tore into this?
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740It will be a pain, as there are likely a lot of various pieces that will require removal before you get to all the fender bolts, such as headlamp, bumper shell, etc., but unless there is hidden damage or you do not have the time to see the project through, you will likely not regret tearing into it.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon

It's a 2005. Now the salvage yard just called and said they don't have a gold fender. I really don't have the means to paint it so I kinda have to find gold.
My wife's going to drive this car until it has high miles so I'm not really worried about a exact match but I'd like it to be the same color. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740My repair manual is only for the third generation vans ('96-'00), but it indicates that you must remove the bumper, wheel, wheelwell insert, headlight assembly, and a small piece of trim under the sideview mirror in order to fully access the quarter panel bolts.
You might consider picking up a repair manual for your van to assist, especially if your wife plans to keep it into high mileage.
Best of luck to you in your search - gold is a fairly common color within your compatible model years, so the trick will be to find a parts van that has a good panel on it!2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -

Showers linked to chronic lung disease
For many, taking a hot shower is a refuge, a few moments of relaxation before or at the end of a busy day. But there is growing evidence that daily ritual could be putting you at risk.
"Excuse me. This is one of the things you get," said Mary Lou Area, catching her breath between coughs.
When her symptoms started, Area had been traveling back and forth to California to care for her dying mother. "And the coughing kept getting worse where I would just cough up Kleenexes full of stuff," Area said, sharing her story with our 2NEWS sister station in Denver.
Area was recovering from pneumonia and initially just wrote it off as lingering symptoms. But after weeks of coughing to the point of exhaustion, she went to see a specialist.
"He said, 'You may have this really weird thing,'" said Area.
The weird thing the pulmonologist diagnosed her with was Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Complex or NTM.
"I thought, 'That's ridiculous,'" said Area.
But it is real. NTM often hits women around 50 years old who are slim, Caucasian and otherwise in good health. The other thing they have in common? They take showers.
"For a number of patients, I am absolutely persuaded that showers are the primary means by which they were infected," said Dr. Michael Iseman, professor of medicine at National Jewish Health and the University of Colorado.
Iseman specializes in the treatment of complicated or multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis or disease due to nontuberculous mycobacteria. Iseman told us he and other physicians who specialize in treating rare respiratory infections are seeing a spike in the number of NTM cases.
"We see hundreds if not approaching a thousand patients a year with this condition," Iseman said. And he has also seen evidence showers are to blame. "We've actually surveyed the showers and the water system in these individual's homes and have found, in a modest number of cases, there's an exact fingerprint identity with the organism from the patient's lungs to the organism in the shower head," said Iseman.
We found more evidence linking showers to NTM at the lab of Professor Norman Pace at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
"The stuff you see on this shower head is bacteria," said Pace. "NTM pulmonary disease is heavily under-diagnosed and probably more prevalent in the community than we think."
Pace and his graduate students spearheaded a recent study that found 30 percent of shower heads harbor significant levels of disease-causing bacteria.
"Nasty is the word. I'd throw this one away and get another one," Pace said looking at a sample shower head provided by us.
"These buildups that people usually think of as calcium deposits or soap scum, are really biological," said grad student and researcher Kim Ross.
"In other words, this white stuff is encasing some bacteria that are living in there?" "That's right," Ross said.
Pace said all of us are bathed in bacteria every day, most of it harmless. But in the shower potentially harmful bacteria have a direct route to your respiratory system, he said.
"What that steam-like material is, is microscopic droplets of water and when you inhale those, you are, of course, inhaling whatever is contained in the water," said Pace.
That includes bacteria that is breeding in your household pipes. "I truly believe I got it from a shower head," said Area of her NTM diagnosis. Area said she often stood in a steaming hot shower for 30 minutes at a time before she was diagnosed. Area said she had a portion of her lung removed because of the disease and will be taking multiple antibiotics for years to come to treat the disease.
"It's hard to enjoy your life when you feel not so hot," Area said. She is hoping someone will hear her story, get help and change their routine.
"I am absolutely persuaded that this will be a large public health issue within this decade," Iseman told us.
All the experts we spoke with agree, there is enough preliminary research to suggest further study. The problem is funding. There are efforts under way to get the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Environmental Protection Agency to participate in more aggressive research and awareness campaigns.
In the meantime, the experts suggest removing and soaking shower heads in bleach or germ-killing cleaning agents as part of a regular cleaning routine. If they do not come clean, Pace said throw them out and replace them, but keep in mind the bacteria will reappear even on a new shower head.
Iseman said increasing
the temperature in your water heater to 140 degrees will kill harmful bacteria, but it will also increase the risk of scalding and should be done with extreme caution.
Other advice: remove the shower head completely and use the water straight from the pipe and avoid steam rooms, hot tubs or any environment where bacteria particles could be inhaled. Additional Information:

like them all but the second one is PRICELESS!! the juice is a beautiful touch! Few things are as precious as a content child, and he looks VERY content! |
In the first shot, there is a problem with color (white) balance and focus, otherwise the shot is very good. The fingers of the hand nearest the camera is going out of focus because the depth of field isn't great enough. The prime focus was on the face which was the better choice. The second shot is great - no change recommended here. The composure of the third shot is good. The problems are technical. The apple is not as sharp as it should be. This photo seems to suffer from compression of the digital file and that may have been due to the requirement to come under the 60KB limit for posting on this site. One would have to examine the original image to make a judgement on this. Possibly, the light source could have been moved up a bit to better light the top of the apple. A smaller aperature (resulting in slower shutter speed) would have increased the depth of field. Since this is a still-life shot, you could experiment with sacrificing shuuter speed (in steps) for smaller lens openings. This shot probably will stand shutter speeds as low as 1/30 sec. The warm brown tone of the background is fine. |
Nice shots, I especially like number 2 and 3! JoanMN/FL |
Thank you Ashelton, Jemdandy(your input much appreciated) and thank you Joan.... Juanita |

I've got chickens. A couple years ago I got a cubic yard of sand to line the chicken run with. It works great to keep down the odor. But after two years its about reached its carrying capacity and I need to clean it out and replace with fresh sand. Its the large size sand, by the way, I think they call it "construction sand". Anyways, my question is can I mix this sand in with my garden soil and spread it around my fruit trees? I am aware that chicken manure can burn but this stuff has been sitting long enough that the danger of the burn effect is past. I'm just not sure about the sand being mixed in with a clay-loam soil. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It won't be any issue at all. There can't possibly be enough to hurt anything even if it was "bad". And I don't think it will have any negative effect, at least not from the sand issue. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 5, 13 at 13:16
The sand won't hurt the soil and whether you should do it depends on the volume you intend to incorporate. CS is very high in P and N and although the N is stable and shouldn't burn you may not want to create the vigor for some plants it might inspire. Also P can tie up other nutrients when applied at excessive rates. I would use it like compost and apply it as a top dressing. Coarse soil on top of fine is the way plants like it- not that the sand would be a problem incorporated. In some really sticky clay soils they say adding sand can create concrete, but I've never managed to do this. |
I have made concrete with sand and sticky clay because that's what we naturally have. If you have it, make sure you mix in quite a bit of organic material with it. John S PDX OR |
We used to use composted turkey manure on our fruit trees and garden at my parents house. It doesn't burn them as long as it is not fresh but it will make them grow like crazy. The trees took off and doubled in size compared to the ones without it. We also had tomatoes that werre over 8' tall. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 11:44
That's the thing- you want lots of vigor while trees are establishing but you need to be able to dial it down when they've filled their space. Too much organic matter is hard to dial back. Gardeners aren't usually programmed to think about reducing vigor. To elaborate on my point, commercial growers often spray urea on fruit trees in early spring so it only goes to spur leaves that feed the fruit. Organic based fertilizers applied to the ground give you no control over what part of the tree you are feeding or when- as long as soil is warm OM releases N. Moderate vigor is key to best quality fruit and regular cropping. Also to keeping pruning needs down. |
Brambles could benefit a lot from this. I have to buy my manure for them. |
Thanks for the info, I will use it. My local ag agent also told me adding the sand to clay, even the small amount of clay I have, can make concrete. But she is also the one that told me not to prune my apple trees the first few years so...obviously her advice should be taken with a grain of salt.. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 14:02
If you mix enough sand with clay the soil will cease to be a clay. The advice is based on a preconceived notion that you would not add enough sand. If you mix it 50-50 by volume only working it in as deep as this is possible with the amount of sand you use, I don't think you will do anything but improve your soil. I have successfully done this with soil so grey and clay it could have been used to make pottery- it was excavated from deep into the earth and trucked in. I used a mixture of 1 part each, clay, sand and compost. Placed this over the pure clay in raised beds when putting an orchard in for someone about 8 years ago and now it is one of the most productive orchards I manage. The pure clay below helps deinvigorate the fruit trees- it is tough for roots to penetrate. |

Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX) announced that following shareholder approval at a special meeting held here yesterday, the Company's Board of directors has approved a 1-for-3 reverse split of the Company's Common Stock. The reverse stock split will be in effect at the commencement of trading tomorrow, July 26, 2006, with Wave's Common Stock trading temporarily under the symbol "WAVXD." The reverse split is being implemented for purposes of regaining compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (previously known as the Nasdaq National Market). For each three (3) shares held, Wave shareholders will receive in exchange one (1) new share of Wave Systems common stock. Shareholders otherwise entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split will receive cash payments in lieu of those fractional shares. Giving effect to the reverse split, the number of common shares issued and outstanding (Class A and Class B combined) will be reduced to approximately 36.3 million (from approximately 109 million). Shareholders' percentage ownership in the Company will remain unchanged as a result of the reverse split.
Commenting on the reverse split and Wave's listing status, Steven Sprague, CEO of Wave, said, "We are gratified that our shareholders strongly supported the Board's view that the reverse stock split will help us to retain our listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Board has elected to pursue the 1-for-3 ratio as it should allow Wave to comfortably meet the $1 minimum bid price requirement. We continue to view continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market as important to the strategic interests of our Company and its stockholders."
Earlier this month, Wave received notice that a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") granted Wave's request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to implementing the reverse stock split and meeting certain other conditions. On or before August 8, 2006, Wave's minimum closing bid price must be at least $1 for a minimum period of 10 consecutive trading days. The Panel has reserved the right to extend the period of consecutive trading days or impose other conditions if, during the 10 day period (or longer period, if extended), the Panel determines that such conditions are required to demonstrate that Wave is able to maintain long-term compliance with the minimum bid price and other listing requirements. The Panel has also reserved the right to reconsider the terms of Wave's continued listing based on other developments that would make continued listing inadvisable or unwarranted.
Wave believes that the reverse stock split will enable the Company to regain compliance with the $1 per share minimum closing bid price continued listing requirement. However, there can be no assurance that this result will be achieved or that Wave will maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. Wave is currently in compliance with all other continued listing criteria for the Nasdaq Global Market.

It was reported some time ago that the Samsung Galaxy S would hit every major carrier in the US – and it seems like the prediction was dead on. First announced for AT&T as the Samsung Captivate, the Galaxy S has already been confirmed for T-Mobile as the Samsung Vibrant, and was just announced as the Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint, the Samsung Fascinate for Verizon, and an unnamed version of the device for US Cellular.
It seems a new Android phone is on its way to T-Mobile stores, but it might not be the superphone you're looking for. The Motorola Charm, revealed in leaked training materials sent to Engadget, is running an enhanced version of Motoblur on top of Android 2.1.
However, what makes this phone unique is its form factor, a candybar style with a front-facing keyboard, similar to many Blackberry devices. The materials also note a variety of changes and additions to Motoblur in 2.1:
- Seven home screens
- Motoblur widgets can now be resized
- Widgets include enhanced functionality including "Like" for Facebook and "Retweet" for Twitter
- Usual Android 2.1 enhancements, such as multitouch and 3D Gallery
No technical specs were included, but given the nature of the device, you shouldn't get your hopes up.
Can't wait to get your hands on the next Android superphone - Motorola Droid X? Then you'll be probably be interested to learn that Best Buy has already begun their pre-orders for the newest addition to the Droid family, which will be arriving in stores on July 15th.
The biggest difference between buying the phone from Best Buy instead of directly from Verizon is simply the bonus of avoiding the mail-in rebate, as Best Buy is selling the phone for $199.99 flat instead of Verizon's $299.99 with a $100.00 mail-in rebate.
** Thanks to AndroidGuys podcast host Scott Brown for this leak. **
T-Mobile's been taking a lot of hits from the Android community recently, as they haven't really caught up to the other carriers (well, Verizon and Sprint) in terms of great phones. Though they introduced us to Android with the G1, the rest of their Android offerings have been lackluster in terms of specs, with the recent myTouch Slide having only a 600 MHz processor and 3.4" screen being unable to compete with the likes of the Evo and upcoming Droid X.
There have been plenty of leaks and rumors about the Droid X for the past few weeks, but now that it has been officially revealed, it looks even better. Here are all the official specs:
The Specs
- 4.3" Screen (854 x 480)
- 720p recording
- 8 megapixel camera with Dual LED flash
- 1 GHz processor
- HDMI out
- Android Eclair 2.1 at launch, to be upgraded to Froyo 2.2 in "late summer"
- A radically changed version of Motoblur on top
- 8 GB onboard memory, and ships with 16 GB micro SD card
- 3 microphones, one used for noise cancellation
- Shipping with Swype
Price and Plans
The phone is going to run you the usual $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate, and the unlimited data plan will cost $29.99 a month, with the optional tethering plan to cost $19.99 a month for the ability to have up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices connect to the phone.

The other two were also included in the previous lawsuit, but needed minor corrections and were instead included in the new suit. The two new patents are actually very closely related, with the newer one being a continuation of the other.
Owners of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 have a pretty good reason to be upset. While recent phones like the myTouch Slide and EVO were rooted within days of their release, the Xperia X10 has been available for months without root, and is stuck on Android 1.6 running a custom skin.
Android may be used almost entirely on smartphones, but that hasn't stopped companies from trying to use it on other devices. While Android hasn't made a big impression on netbooks yet, the term "smartbook" has been used to describe devices with an emphasis on a strong battery life and being constantly connected, usually through 3G. And while smartbooks in the past have failed to materialize, Toshiba's latest Android offering looks like the sweet spot between smartphones and laptops (and it is sweet indeed).
Ever since they promised to help developers and slow the growing problem of Android fragmentation, Google has been quite consistent in updating their platform version chart, which shows how many phones are running each version of Android. Just over a month ago, the chart was used in the argument that fragmentation is a major problem for Android, as Android 2.1 was running on a much smaller percentage of phones than previous versions Android 1.6 and 1.5.
Just like most Verizon Android phones, the LG Ally garnered plenty of hype with its advertising campaign – in this case, it was used as a promotional tie-in with Iron Man 2. With only a 600 MHz CPU and 3.2MP camera, it's a pretty mid-range phone, but you're also getting Android 2.1 and hardware keyboard, so at $99 it's not an awful phone.
The phone was set for release on May 20, but now it seems that release has been pushed back.

La Sirena Sea Sprite
Product Features
- Size: 5 1/2 x 42
La Sirena Sea Sprite
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
The La Sirena Sea Sprite cigar is one of the new kids on the block coming out of the Miami Cigar company. Blended by Don Pepin Garcia and rolled at the My Father factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, La Sirena is a Connecticut broadleaf wrapped and Nicaraguan filled cigar.The La Sirena Sea Sprite cigar is a 5 1/2 x 42 Corona.
With a band that must have been designed in Texas, there is no way you'll not see these in your home humidor. Brightly colored with a mermaid in the middle and surrounded by maritime elements, these bands are not only BIG, they are pretty too.
Holding a La Sirena in hand, there are few, if any soft spots, the broadleaf wrapper has a small amount of tooth, and it feels slightly heavy in the hand. Boasting a triple capped head and a rather well packed foot the La Sirena is one well rolled cigar.
Sniffing the foot of the cigar opens your senses with the smells of berries and chocolate, kinda similar to a chocolate covered cherry or strawberry. Whichever way you cut this cigar, the draw is superb. Wide open with just a tiny bit of resistance, smoking the La Sirena is a real pleasure. The 1st third boasts flavors of chocolate, earth, berries, and cocoa, especially for those who retrohale. The 2nd third flavors develop into leather, bold bitter coffee flavors, and lingering notes of chocolate from the 1st third. The final third brings more of the leather and introduces a a tiny bit of that famous Don Pepin spice.
The flavors are good, the draw is great, there is a decent amount of smoke, the ash holds on for a long while, and the burn is even the whole way through. What more can one ask for from this La Sirena cigar. Give one a try you won't be sorry.

Download (356Kb) | Preview |
The standard motivation for unemployment compensation is consumption smoothing and most papers in the literature have analyzed trade-offs involving consumption smoothing and moral hazard. This paper shows how such policy can increase output by enhancing the assignment of workers to jobs in the face of firm productivity heterogeneity and skill-biased technological change. It shows that in order to do so policy needs to be a function of the properties of the firm's productivity distribution. The paper undertakes an empiricallygrounded, normative analysis of this issue. The analysis also bears upon the wage distribution, showing how optimal unemployment compensation policy is affected by wages and affects them in turn. A key insight emerging from the analysis is that the degree of firm productivity heterogeneity, in terms of skewness and variance, matters for the design of the time path of unemployment compensation.

3D-printed heart uses urine to power robot (seriously)
December 5, 2013 10:24 am | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsIn the buzzword story of the year, researchers at the University of the West of England created a 3D-printed heart robot heart that runs on urine. That's right, a printed organ that pumps pee through a robot. This hot topic cornucopia was actually the result of a theory that urine was capable of making electricity.
Why replacing waiters with tablets is a good idea
December 4, 2013 2:51 pm | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsThis, friends, is a dining option for people who hate other people. Earlier this week, Applebee's announced that they will replace waiters (to a degree) with tablets at the table. These tablets will be used to take orders and pay the bill, plus they'll feature games that diners can play while they wait. The tablets, which are Intel-backed startup E la Carte Presto tablets, will total over 100,000 pieces of hardware.

Well, now there's a bra for that. Microsoft recently reported it has been working on a "smart bra," equipped with a generic remote access sensing platform (GRASP).
Bridge devices translate into longer life for NTDS systems
November 27, 2013 10:20 am | by Chris Warner, ECN Executive Editor | Articles | Comments"It's like turning around an aircraft carrier." This analogy is often used in the business world to indicate how hard it can take a large entity to change direction, usually amounting to months or even years. But for the United States Navy, which is charged with turning these massive vessels, turning around an aircraft carrier pales in comparison with keeping communications networks up to date.
Here's what the ECN Editors are thankful for this year
November 26, 2013 3:18 pm | by the Editors | Blogs | CommentsSay what you will about Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa. For our money, the "most wonderful time of the year" is Thanksgiving, when the fall foliage sets the scene for family, football, turkey, more football, and dessert (in that order). And though "Black Friday" has crept into Thursday, there's much to be thankful for this year. Here's what the ECN staff had to say....
Turning the world's biggest landfill into a NYC solar power plant
November 26, 2013 3:00 pm | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsIn a recent Engineering Update, we took a look at Japan's largest solar power plant, which boasts the capability of powering 22,000 homes with its 313 acre facility. Now, we're checking out New York's newest solar project. This solar facility will be located at Freshkills Park on Staten Island and was, at one point, considered to be the largest landfill in the world.
Revolution on wheels
November 22, 2013 4:21 pm | by Allegra Sparta, Editorial Intern | Blogs | CommentsMorph Wheels sounds more like a rejected children's toy idea than a legitimate advancement in mobility technology, but it's real, and it's going to have a huge impact. It's one of many new foldable, space-saving inventions coming into the market. People tend to crave convenience in whatever they purchase and anything that they can slip into their pocket will fit the bill.
Watch our new missile defense system destroy a fighter jet
November 22, 2013 3:08 pm | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsWhile it may seem like most countries around the world are focused on the Patriot Missile Interceptors, the United States is already looking to its next missile defense system. In fact, the military has moved on from looking at systems to testing them.
Will pills become the new standard of online security?
November 22, 2013 1:03 pm | by Allegra Sparta, Editorial Intern | Blogs | CommentsIt's no secret that the internet is a minefield. There are hackers and thieves at every turn waiting to steal your personal information and everything else you love. And now the NSA has front-row seats to watch it all happen. This is all pretty scary, so we tend to cling to anything that offers us a semblance of security and safety, even if it means swallowing another pill with our multivitamin every day.
The first robot suicide
November 21, 2013 2:22 pm | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsAt least that's what hysterical media reports would have you believe. The standard account goes something like this – tired of doing its master's bidding (er, cleaning), an iRobot Roomba 760 made history by committing the first robot suicide. The poor guy chose an especially gruesome way to kick the bucket, committing self-immolation by driving itself onto a kitchen hotplate....
PhoneBloks are Legos for adults
November 21, 2013 1:20 pm | by Allegra Sparta, Editorial Intern | Blogs | CommentsFinally, adults don't have to relinquish the joy of playing with blocks! Most of the fun in Legos lies with the customizable nature of the toy and the ability to stray from the image on the box to create something truly unique.

Fiber-to-the-Antenna systems bundle up for the elements
November 21, 2013 10:12 am | by Chris Warner, ECN Executive Editor | Articles | CommentsYou can't drive very far without seeing a cellular tower. As more Americans curtail or ditch their landlines in favor of mobile phones, and increasingly smartphones that require high-speed internet, network operators must keep pace with the incredible amount of data traveling through their infrastructures.
Where are all the girl engineers?
November 20, 2013 11:04 am | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsI recently went to a "Pumpkin Sling" (aka Punkin' Chunkin') where participants designed trebuchets to see who could get theirs to throw a pumpkin the farthest. A lot of the teams were made up of kids, who all did an incredible job building the machines. I was particularly inspired by a young man from a Cub Scout troop who very clearly outlined how the machine worked and how they had built it.
This NASA-inspired shower could lessen the global water crisis
November 14, 2013 12:28 pm | by Allegra Sparta, Editorial Intern | Blogs | CommentsGrowing up in a rural area I learned to expect cries of "Turn that shower off, you'll run the well dry!" while getting cleaned up for school. Having a well was the price you'd pay for living in the middle of nowhere, away from a reservoir-supplied water source. But apart from my teenage battles, a real problem lurks, one of global proportions.
The largest, most ambitious challenge to Net Neutrality
November 13, 2013 8:42 am | by Chris Warner, Executive Editor | Articles | CommentsThis summer, I learned one of the few cable TV channels I sometimes watch is no longer available to me without upgrading to another "tier" of channels. None of those other channels appeal to me, so I simply decided I would do without the channel. My decision was pretty sound, but I believe my choice was not a choice at all.
3D-printed metal guns are nothing to worry about
November 11, 2013 4:24 pm | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsWell, it was bound to happen. A company has finally succeeded in fabricating a wholesale 3D-printed metal gun. But this should cause considerably less hand-wringing than the "Liberator" and its follow-up, the "Grizzly". To quote the Hitchhiker's Guide, don't panic.
Should we use drones to prevent animal abuse?
November 11, 2013 11:06 am | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsHunters beware: PETA may be watching you – or rather, its "customers" will if they purchase a specially modified Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 to "spy on hunters and catch them in the act as they terrorize animals and break game laws." The animal-rights organization introduced the "Air Angels" drone on its site in an effort to cut down on "illegal" hunting activities or anything it deems immoral....
This rock-climbing robot will haunt your dreams
November 8, 2013 9:27 am | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsEvery so often, you see a robot on the internet that is so macabre-looking it belongs in a horror film. There is a quality about these robots that's not quite robot, but not quite human. Generally, in the technology community, nine out of ten of these robots come out of the Department of Defense sponsored Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (a.k.a DARPA). (If you need proof, check out DARPA's PETMAN)
Just like on TV: Ocean exploration for the masses
November 7, 2013 3:34 pm | by Allegra Sparta, Editorial Intern | Blogs | CommentsImagine upwards of eight tons pressing down on your body as you make the descent into the icy waters of the deepest parts of the ocean. The human body isn't meant to withstand that sort of pressure, so we must utilize devices like the OpenROV to get our exploration fix if we don't happen to have millions of dollars on hand for more sophisticated equipment.
3D printers: A cheap solution for amputees and those with genetic defects
November 6, 2013 2:24 pm | by Allegra Sparta, Editorial Intern | Blogs | Comments"Not to worry, I'll just print another hand." This statement would belong in a work of fiction a few years ago, but today, it is reality for those missing fingers or limbs. Prosthetics have come a long way from the archaic image of a pirate hobbling around his ship on a wooden peg leg.
We finally have drones with "frickin' laser beams"
November 5, 2013 4:43 pm | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsDr. Evil would be proud. Lasers have always been the next frontier (some would say pipe dream) of weapons development. But recent developments have brought Sci-Fi closer to reality. And now this — the Pentagon has awarded a total of $26 million to defense contractors to develop a laser countermeasures system for manned and unmanned aircraft.
This hypersonic Blackbird can launch weapons from space
November 4, 2013 3:43 pm | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsIn aviation, it doesn't get more chic than the SR-71 Blackbird, the Rolls Royce of the sky. From 1964 till its retirement in 1998, this supersonic, Mach 3+ reconnaissance aircraft played a crucial role in the Cold War (and afterward) for over three decades. But ever since the Blackbird went to the Boca Raton of the skies, aviation buffs have been pining for a successor. And now they have one. And it's glorious.
Why you shouldn't implant computer chips in your arm
November 1, 2013 3:31 pm | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsIn general, medical implants and their components are strictly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and for good reason. You can't just stick anything under your skin without extreme consequences including things like major infections, pretty gnarly scaring, and potentially deadly health complications.
F-35 successfully targets aerial drone (is still a moneypit)
November 1, 2013 11:28 am | by Kasey Panetta, Managing Editor | Blogs | CommentsThe F-35 Lightning II program, which surpassed 10,000 flight hours in September, has another reason to celebrate today. On October 31, the F-35A, a 5th generation fighter, successfully launched an AIM-120 radar-seeking missile from the internal weapons bay.
Should the government regulate Google Glass?
October 31, 2013 4:22 pm | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsEvery new technology or consumer widget must inevitably run headfirst into the regulatory powers of government — often in conjunction with automotive safety. So this was no surprise: San Diego police have pulled over a motorist and ticketed her for wearing Google Glass, touching off the latest battle between federal legislators and the private sector.

Welcome to the Seminary of The Christian Community in Spring Valley, New York.
The vocation of the priest in The Christian Community is a modern vocation for men and women. It means to accept the challenge of not only defying the conventional belief that human knowledge is limited to the physical world, but more importantly of working toward actually crossing these boundaries of knowledge. In this task the priest is aided by Anthroposophy, the science of the spirit introduced into the stream of human consciousness by Rudolf Steiner at the turn of the 20th century. The vocation of the priest expresses in a concentrated way what is the innate potential of every human being. Therefore, anyone can benefit from studying at the seminary for however brief a time. Applicants are not required to intend for priesthood to be their life's vocation. The Christian Community was founded in 1922 as a worldwide movement for religious renewal: www.thechristiancommunity.org. In September 2003, the first seminary in the English-speaking world opened its doors in Chicago. Before that, pursuing the vocation of a priest in The Christian Community was only possible in Germany. In 2011 the seminary relocated to the East coast, to Chestnut Ridge (Spring Valley), 28 miles from New York City. Studies will be enhanced by internships with congregations in this country and abroad, exchange programs with the seminaries in Stuttgart and Hamburg, and the opportunity to study with students and faculty from around the world. On these pages you will find information about the Seminary – including open week-long courses. For further information about the Seminary or to contact one of the directors, please call 845 356 0972 or write to email@example.com.

I joined Assistance League a year ago this past September. They take the time to inform you of all their charitable endeavors before you even join. Because I serve as the PR photographer I go to most events to document it with photographs. I have never been involved with a group of women where so many show up to help whether its to man the Thrift shop, help bag food for the food pantry or read to preschool children. The camaraderie and friendships that develop from this 100% volunteer group is nothing less then inspiring. This is by far the best volunteer group I have ever encountered or been involved with in my life.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

"OH MY!! These were so good! I've never had Polenta before, so I wasn't sure if I would like it. Guess what! I do! I have to agree wit Annacia the flavor is amazing. Great recipe Sharon, I will be making this again. Made for Veggie Swap 20, March 2010."
"I thought this was very good! The brownies are nice and moist, and the pumpkin top layer is an added plus. My DH and DD were a little skeptical when I was making them, but gobbled them up quickly afterwards. I'll be making these again for sure! Thanks for another great recipe Prose.

"I love fennel tea. I add a little cayenne pepper instead of milk and sugar. I find it to be soothing and a great warmer upper on cool brisk day."
"We have a simular shake at the fitness center I belong to. Very good indeed. I omitted the unsweetened chocolate, and replaced the peanut butter with about 1 tbls of ground flax seed. It still has that nutty flavour and adds a little fiber."
"Delicious! DH could not get enough of this tasty, and colorful meal. I boiled my sausage first to get rid of some of the fat. Then I tossed it around on the grill to brown it a bit, cut it into bite size pieces, and finished it off with red, yellow, green peppers and sliced onions."
"I am also on the South Beach diet. It's really not that bad. One thing I don't do though is think about the things I "CANNOT" have. Instead I think of the things I "CAN" have. It makes dieting so much easier. These mashed potatoes are great! I add one or two wedges of the Laughing Cow cheese to them for a little extra flavor. UM UM Good!"

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Wilson, Kelly-Anne email@example.com URN etd-02272007-140300 Document Title Status and distribution of cheetah outside formal conservation areas in the Thabazimbi District, Limpopo province Degree MSc (Wildlife Management) Department Animal and Wildlife Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J du P Bothma Keywords
- Thabazimbi district
- areas
- formal
- outside
- conservation
- distribution
- cheetah
- status
- Limpopo province
Date 2006-04-24 Availability unrestricted Abstract The current status of the cheetah Acinonyx jubatus outside formal conservation areas in South Africa is undetermined. The largest part of the cheetah population in South Africa occurs on cattle and wildlife ranches. Conflict between cheetahs and landowners is common and cheetahs are often persecuted. Cheetah management and conservation efforts are hampered as little data are available on the free-roaming cheetah population. A questionnaire survey was done in the Thabazimbi district of the Limpopo province to collect data on the status and distribution of cheetahs in the district and on the ranching practices and attitudes of landowners. By using this method, a population estimate of 42 – 63 cheetahs was obtained. Camera trapping was done at a scent-marking post to investigate the marking behaviour of cheetahs. Seven different cheetahs were identified marking at one specific tree. Scat analyses were done to determine prey use of the cheetahs in the study area. The most common prey remains from the scats were of the grey duiker Sylvicapra grimmia and the impala Aepyceros melampus. VORTEX analyses were used to investigate the long-term viability of the cheetah population as well as the viability of sport hunting of cheetahs. The current Thabazimbi population is viable over 100 years without immigration, but after 200 years extinction probabilities become unacceptably high. Harvesting through sport hunting is only viable if staggered over several years. Several factors influencing the survival of the free-roaming cheetah population are also discussed.

text: Lumesse ranked #1 for customer satisfaction in HRO Today's "2012 Baker's Dozen" survey of talent management vendors Published on 22.03.2012 Austin/London, March 22, 2012 - Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced that it was ranked #1 among the top providers of talent management software in HRO Today's 2012 Baker's Dozen Ratings. The rankings were based on independent customer surveys carried out in the first quarter of 2012. HRO Today's 'Baker's Dozen' rankings are based solely on feedback from buyers of the rated services; the ratings are not based on the opinion of the HRO Today staff. Once collected, response data were loaded into the HRO Today database for analysis to score each provider. In order to determine an overall ranking, HRO Today analyzed results across three subcategories: service breadth, deal sizes and quality. Using a predetermined algorithm that weighs questions and categories based on importance, HRO Today calculated scores in all three subcategories as well as an overall score. The rankings are based on those scores. "Customer satisfaction is our number one priority - we measure it formally four times a year and we use the results to drive our business decisions," said Lumesse CEO Matthew Parker. "Having the quality of our customer relationships ranked in this way is a great testament to the effort that Lumesse people put into our promise to be the only global company making talent management work locally. We have great technology, but it's how we work on the ground, every day, with our customers in local markets that matters to them."
