A photograph from Sonepat Housing Scheme
Projects In Progress
Phase-I work has been completed. In Phase-II scheme, as good response was received for type-I units, the scheme was modified with multi-storied type-I units to meet the demand received and accordingly the plans were got approved from the local authority. Contract has been awarded and the construction of dwelling units is progressing well. As the response from Railway men for multi-storeyed type-I is not good, scheme was re-opened including outsiders from 02-12-2013 to 28-02-2014 for booking of balance dwelling units. Vacancies still exist in multi-storeyed type-I units. The scheme may be reopened for booking after a gap of 6 to 9 months.

Construction of 660 dwelling units has been planned. In eleven towers which have been taken up in Phase-I, roof slabs of all 260 type-II units, 192 type-III units and 106 type–IV units, have been cast. Finishing works are in progress. Expected target date of completion is April, 2014 for Phase-I. Draw of lots for specific unit for Type-II was held on 15-02-2014 and the results have been uploaded on IRWO website. Draw of lots for Type-III and Type-IV has been held on 01-03-2014 and 15-03-2014 respectively and the results have been uploaded on IRWO website. Phase-II scheme was reopened from 21-11-2013 to 18-01-2014 for IRWO members, their blood relations and outsiders for filling up a few vacancies in Type-III and IV DUs resulting from withdrawals. All vacancies have been filled up. Phase-II is expected to be completed by September, 2014.

112.9 Acre of land was procured. Approval of plans from MDA was received on 30-11-2009. Booking letters have been issued to 92 applicants for different types of dwelling units. Tenders were opened on 18-12-2009 and work awarded. Construction work is in progress on 92 units in Phase-I. Roof slabs have been cast for all 92 units. Finishing and external works are in progress. Expected target date of completion is April, 2014. Phase-II scheme for 105 units was launched from 21-01-2013 to 15-04-2013 and extended upto 17-06-2013. Since response to scheme from Railway men is poor, the scheme was opened to IRWO members, their blood relations and outsiders from 13-09-2013 to 12-11-2013, extended up to 12-12-2013 and further up to 12-02-2014. About 50% vacancies have been filled up with the response received.

A new Contract for the work including Phase-II work has been awarded in August, 2012 after terminating the contract fixed in June, 2010 due to slow progress. Work has been restarted and is progressing in full swing. All 195 roof slabs have been cast in Phase-I. RCC foundation work for all 6 blocks of type-IV units and 11 blocks of type-III units has been completed. Expected target date of completion for Phase-I is Sept. 2014. For Phase-II scheme, 102 roof slabs out of 248 have been cast. Phase-II scheme was reopened for members, their blood relations and outsiders from 21-10-2013 and extended up to 20-02-2014 to fill up the vacancies. All vacancies have been filled up.

Hyderabad Phase III
Area of land measuring about 1.5-Acre has been procured within Lingampally Phase-I scheme. Plans for 60 units were finalized and approved by GHMC. The scheme had been re-opened from 15-11-2013 to 15-01-2014 for booking of vacant DU's. Contract for construction which was closed due to stay order of A.P. High Court was revived. RWA has withdrawn its writ petition from A.P. High Court. The work at site was re-commenced and the construction in plot B was done up to final floor level (S+4). Brickwork and other works are in progress. In plot A front portion roof of 2nd floor has been cast and shuttering for columns of 3rd floor is to be erected. Application has been submitted to GHMC for revalidation of building plans. Target date of completion is December, 2014.

Chennai Phase II
11.88 Acre of land was procured in year 2004 and housing scheme was announced. Scheme has been launched and booking letters have been issued to 138 applicants. The revised layout plans have been approved by CMDA and Ambattur Municipality. Unit plans have also been approved by the Municipality. Contract for construction of Chennai Phase-IIA was awarded on 27-12-2011 and Contractor had mobilized to commence the work but a court "stay order" was brought by some local residents and work had to be stopped. The 'stay order' was contested. The case was heard by Hon'ble High Court and the stay has been vacated. Contractor was advised to restart the work but as he did not comply with the instruction, the contract was rescinded. Fresh tenders were opened on 25-03-2013 and contract for 140 independent dwelling units for Chennai Phase-IIA has been awarded. The new contractor has signed the Agreement and the foundation work is in progress. Chennai Phase-IIB housing scheme for construction of 161 4-storeyed DU's would be launched shortly in the balance available land.

Fails Of The Week: Gucci Mane, DMX, Chief Keef And More

Fail: His explanation of his MTV VMA appearance
Redemption: A$AP apologized to NBA baller Jason Collins for his reaction to their on-stage pairing at the MTV VMAs... "I'm mad that my facial expressions was like that because I'm not homophobic at all, and that whole thing just came off real homophobic," said Rocky. But Rocky may not forgive MTV. "I don't give a f–k if you gay or you not. I just found it odd that MTV wanted to stand me next to this n—a when they are talking about gay people, that's all. You know what I'm saying?" Not really.

We've stayed at Pop, ASM and POR and unless there was some incentive (like free dining) being offered to stay at a Mod I don't think I would pay the extra to stay at a Mod over a value, yes the rooms are slightly larger and you get an extra sink which I suppose is a benefit if you are a family (it's just the 2 of us) but I think the values in their own right are just as nice as the moderates. The moderates have lovely adult landscaping whereas the values have in your face fun landscaping. The mods also have a table service restaurant but that's never been a deciding factor for us either as we prefer the restaurants in park or at the deluxes.
I would say the biggest factor is personal preference on the theming of the resort and weighing up the extra cost if that is the type of theme you prefer (as usual it also depends how much time you will spend in room and resort) and also if the table service restaurant and slightly larger room are important to you.
We decided on All Star Sports for the first part of our May trip as the first week will be all about the parks so went for the cheapest option and as all our dining is centered around the parks, resort dining wasn't a factor and like I said there is just the 2 of us so room size isn't a factor and we find the value theming fun.
I do like the moderates I'm just not sure (for us) that they warrant the extra cost over a value to stay there (excluding any offers that are on)


text: The 'ME' (Motor Encoder) series is aimed at high-speed, high-precision rotary position measurement. The main application area is high-speed encoders for motor winding commutation and motion control. A typical specification for a 22 mm diameter unit is 17-bit resolution and speeds up to 20,000 rpm. Other sizes and speeds are possible with the larger diameter versions, offering even higher resolutions. Absolute and incremental versions are also available. The encoders are targeted at applications that need fast measurement for speed control as well as precision measurement for lower speed position control. The ever-increasing demands for greater resolution, harsher operating environments and weight or space savings mean that the new technology is likely to find favor in a number of sectors. The technology's main components are based on simple printed circuit boards and, when conformally coated, require no mechanical housing. The rotors are produced from thin, lightweight material and have a low angular moment of inertia, said to make them ideal for motors that need to accelerate rapidly. The encoders can be sealed to IP 68 and are rated from -40°C to 125°C. A linear version aimed at machine tool and linear motor applications is due for market release in early 2006. Zettlex

Can anyone report on how well the Fine Line buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula "Ron Williams') held up in the big snow we had in the Southeast in March? It sounds perfect for me for a certain spot, but I've been wondering if the heavy snow or ice we get in Georgia every 4 or 5 years will eight down the branches and ruin the shape.
Thanks! |

Poorly, a hedge of it in the area was completely trashed by a ice storm a few years ago. And even if it was not, buckthorn, both common and this species (glossy) is an absolutely horrible weed that is destroying natural areas as well as being weedy in towns as well. There are hundreds upon hundreds of this weedy woody plant within a mile of where I am now, coming up agains buildings and in unmowed patches of land. Do not -ever- plant this species. Please. |
The Kemper Center for Home Gardening at the Missouri Botanical Garden warns that the species is invasive, but recommends the Fine Line cultivar, reporting that the few seeds it produces are non-viable. Fine Line has ferny foliage--I don't know if it's glossy or not. Have you observed that this cultivar is invasive in SD? I surely don't want another invasive around here--we have enough kudzu, privet, and (non-native) honeysuckle already!

Hum. To be honest, I saw berries produced and I assumed that the berries contained viable seeds. I can tell you with certainty that both of it's parents are known to be able to escape and most seedlings produced by both them readily revert to the typical from. IF it truly produces all non-viable seeds... then it may not be a problem. However, I know of quite a few examples where supposedly seedless strains/cultivars of certain invasive plants either produce seed with the right pollinator (purple loostrife and Bradford pear) or were MOSTLY seedless but the limited amounts of viable seeds were able to successfully invade and start populations (some grass strain that I can't remember off the top of my head). So if it truly is seedless, then it may not be an issue. But as you can tell I am skeptical as seedless claims, as many are often not completely accurate. These plants truly are scary around here so my advice would be to avoid it, but IF the claim is completely true it may be a viable option after all... but I would suggest looking for an alternative first anyways. Just my two cents. |

Rumors have been floating around Oxford for weeks now about Lamar Lounge and whether or not John Currence would be adding the restaurant to his City Grocery Restaurant Group.
The answer is yes.
However, in an interview with EatingOxford.com today, Currence says that he has every intention of keeping things status quo at the popular establishment. This means keeping the name, the atmosphere, the pricing, the now-infamous burger that everyone loves, and any staff members that choose to stay on. "I want the transition to be as seamless as possible," says Currence. "I've always loved the Lamar Lounge space and that was my reason for wanting to get involved when I was approached by the owners."
Along with Lamar Lounge menu favorites, Currence plans to offer plates featuring whole hog barbecue and items such as tamales; cheese and gravy fries; ribs; burger steak with onion gravy; and jerk chicken.
Ownership will change hands at the start of August, with Currence looking forward to turning up the smoke on some down-home barbecue.
Update 8/25:
Whole hog bbq is now available at Lamar Lounge. Check out the updated menu below.

If you're new to the EDM (Electric Dance Music) culture, then you should be familiar with one of the most recently spoken and mainstreaming artist, Steve Aoki. Aoki, or as others love to call him "Asian Jesus", has been around longer than one might expect. Not only has he been working for past decade, but he is also the man behind the infamous Dim Mak Records label. The label has also released other electro artists such Dada Life and Zeds Dead, to name a few; they have even collaborated with artists like Tiesto and The Bloody Beetroots!
In the past few months, Aoki has made a big hit in the media from his Deadmeat Tour, traveling around the US and his current Euro Trip, from his XM Radio shows to the recent MTV broadcast of "Heartbreaker", one of his many songs that released off his album "Wonderland". If you don't think that's enough to make your eye browns rise, then how about the fact that his album cracked to the top 10 of iTunes overall charts just a few days after the release of this album "Wonderland"! Now that's something to make your jaw drop.
One may wonder if Aoki's music is the same "Wub Wub" bass dropping action that EDM cultural gets stereotyped as. Well, in Aoki's case, let's just say he has a mutating playlist of music that won't fall in the same category for non-EDM listeners or new ones in that case. Songs like "Ladi Dadi ft. Wynter Gordon" or "Turbulence Ft. Lil Jon & Laidback Luke" are songs with their unique tunes, energy, and sounds. It's honestly something that you have to hear to understand and feel the goosebumps crawl up your skin as you blast these songs through your earbuds.
It also becomes a whole different experience when you go to one of Aoki's concerts. If you are listening to one of his tunes as you read this, then you will also love it when you interact with him as he body surfs the crowd, hoses everyone with champagne, and takes out a large cake to toss at the front rows. Aoki has really made it far throughout the decade and he is one artist worth to listen and see. Check out if he will be in your area soon by visiting his website.

It's me again. Rinse and repeat. Does anyone on here have a KA induction cooktop? Or do you know anyone who does? I can not find any good reviews online. DH says the same disgruntled customer is the only one who is posting reviews and that most people are perfectly content with their cooktop and don't bother to post reviews.
I AM concerned about the noise issue. I wonder if that is related directly to the lower price (can't manufacture something cheaper without cutting corners somewhere). None of the retailers in this area have the KA plugged in so we can't have them turn it on to listen to it. We have tried the Wolf and the Thermador. We had a KA dishwasher in our last house. It was a great dishwasher so DH thinks that we will be okay going with the KA induction cooktop. He also likes the bridge feature and the fact that we can get it without the stainless trim (he wants the solid black look). I don't want to buy it and wish we had spent just a little bit more to get a better quality cooktop. We are at the point in our build where $1k here and $1k there and another over there and another and another are really starting to add up and I want it to stop somewhere. BUT, I'm also willing to spend the money if it is REALLY worth it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
if you google KA reviews, include the model # you are considering, you should get some answers. on GW many people are happy with their bosch, electrolux, miele and wolf's. you can also search here on GW at the bottom of appliance form. i personally have miele and love it. chose it for the burner layout, timers, quality and customer service. good luck! |
Are you buying on line or a local dealer? I don't know who makes the KA models but most have warranties. If you try it for 30 days and are unhappy, can't you return it? I bought mine on line and it had 30 days to return. I bought bosch mainly because of the self-turn off burners. I have used the feature twice and like it. Would it matter in the end? probably not, but that is what swayed me. That and the bosch name but even so, there are many people who slam bosch products. I think it is like cars...there's always a possibility of a lemon. Besides, I thought the noise came from the cookware and not the cooktop. Maybe the complainer has crappy cookware. |

Sister has a Kitchenaid induction cooktop. 36". Works great. She has All Clad and Ikea cookware and they don't hum or click loudly. Just a soft hum. The KitchenAid is made by Bosch. |

They see your firing and raise you a $25 million lawsuit.
Two former employees of MF Global have filed a WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) class-action suit against MF Global Finance USA and MF Global Holdings Ltd. on behalf of themselves and 1,066 employees laid off from the U.S. broker-dealer last Friday. The suit, filed in U.S. Bankrutpcy Court in Manhattan, alleges that MF Global failed to provide 60 days notice of layoffs as required under federal law, and also under the New York WARN Act, which mandates companies give 90 days notice. Todd Thielmann, a former floor broker in Chicago, and Pierre-Yvan Desparois, a vice president in credit risk management in New York, allege in excess of $25 million in damages as a result of the firings, which took place following the bankruptcy filing of MF Global Holdings Ltd. Oct. 31.
"It's important to note that the lawsuit was filed against the holding company, MF Global Holdings Ltd., and not the broker-dealer," said Kent Jarrell, spokesman for the trustee's office that fired the employees and is liquidating the unit. "However, the trustee acted appropriately in connection with the termination of employees as part of the court-mandated liquidation and wind down of MF Global Inc." Charles Ercole, one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs, said they plan to amend the lawsuit to make clear that one of the defendants is in fact the broker-dealer, MF Global Inc. The plaintiffs are suing for wages, salary, commissions, bonuses, accrued holiday pay, pension, healthcare and other benefits for 60 days (and for 90 days under the New York WARN lawsuit).

Exceptions to Notice Requirement
Employer's may be exempted from the requirements of the NY WARN' Act's under certain circumstances. Exceptions include, faltering companies, unforeseeable business circumstances, acts of terrorism, natural disasters and strikes or lockouts. The law indicates that each of these exceptions is available not only to plant closings but to mass layoffs, relocations and work-hour reductions as well. -

text: I feel your pain. I cannot stand all these little "enhancements" they do that includes phones or their cast website that keeps constantly changing. I understand the need to keep things up to date and more efficient, but doesn't it defeat the purpose if you're trying to make a system that's already efficent, and make it 1 or 2 percent more efficient which will cause about 2 - 3 months of headache in trying to make sure everyone is up to date with the new numbers or new page. There was one morning I was rushing in almost late for work and I forgot my ID which I'm sure happens to everyone once in a while, and thought that I'll be ok, I have my nametag on and costume on, lunch, etc, ready to work. They wouldn't let me on, which is also understandable because I don't have my photo ID, but to make sure that it's really me, I have to go call my manager whose number I can't remember off the top of my head, plus I'm not sure which 1 of the 10 - 15 managers is mine so I was given this one number that will direct me to the area I needed. Turns out, that number "is no longer in service, try this number ****" Ok, so I hang up, and try the other number it suggested, and I get some resort number and they're wondering why I'm calling them to ask them to send an email to security telling them it's OK for me to go to work, thankfully they transfered me over to someone who sent security the email, and 30 minutes later, I finally show up to work.

I am completely amazed! I took dormant Boxwood cuttings on 2/15/06, dipped in rooting hormone and stuck in a peat pellet. Covered with a CD dome cover and today I have 12 new plants with very healty root systems. I picked up one and saw roots bursting out of the peat. All the rest were the same.
I am heading out right now to repeat the process 10 fold. My goal is to design a Knot Garden of amazing proportion. I am one step closer but a long road ahead. Has anyone done this before? I would love to see some photos. Grancru |

please keep posting as this goes along. i am completely fascinated. my dream is to enclose my raised beds with a very low, tough boxwood hedge. i'm close to a tidal river & get some pretty fierce winds sometimes, so i'm not entirely sure it's practical; but, i've seen a couple venerable boxwood hedges in my town in massachusetts, so i have hope. it's going to take about 250 of the little guys to do the job. i'm hoping to start them outdoors so they get used to the conditions from the get-go. what variety are you growing? yay! and best of luck! |
The cuttings in the 4" pots are all rooted. They took 8 weeks for the roots to bust out of the peat pellet. The ones under the cd cases and pop bottle I just cut after sucess with the 1st batch. They have been moved outside to harden off. I am building a large humidity chamber to go into mass production. Here is a link for mass production of Boxwood cuttings. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-407.html I don't know what kind these are but they form a beautiful hedge in my front yard about 2 feet tall. They sit in from of a large window where they get bright light but no direct sun as they would probably cook. Grancru |

Im trying the same thing u are doing covering it but with a half cut 2 liter plastic bottle and a home-made newspaper pot :-P if u want a pic email me and ill send it tell me if it looks good, took the cutting 2 days ago and has new growth but dont wanna touch it....how will i know when it is rooted...well anyways do u sell them :-P i would like to buy some :-P if not well just need help in growing them |
Xavier, You may want to go to the link I posted just above. It has some great info to reference. My cuttings were dormant and took 8 weeks for roots to show through the peat pellet. The article states the same time for activly growing cuttings. I just built a large wood frame to hold a tray (easier for moving, they break easily) and a wire dome with plastic to set ovet the top. I filled the tray with a 50/50 mixture of peat moss and perlite and will do a larger scale project. I will post photos when complete. Almost there. I hopefully can get 50-100 cuttings in it.

http://freeplants.com/frame set.htm...this site has a Simple, Homemade Plant Propagation System...you should see it looks pretty simple and i have considered trying it um well hope this works...oh also can i see your pics of the dome you built...ok well my box wood cutting i tried is growing new leaves is that a good thing or does it do that i mean im thinking it shouldve atleast turned a little brown right but i dont know PM your email address and ill send u a pic of the cutting i have |
Here are a couple photos of the dome I built. It will easily hold 100+ cuttings. I have about 30 in it already and doing more shortly. |
I am no expert but I noticed that very shortly after taking the cuttings there is a burst of growth(new folidge)that appears. They still take 6-8 weeks to root strongly. Grancru |

Wow Very nice dome its a mini green house :-P foreals it does. Im gonna try that and the one on freeplants.com....by the way did u see the one on the site i put it looks good but yours looks better...Im Going to the store and bye a tray... i have the wire and wood as i have raised chickens and work in construction so i have the materials all i need is the tray... thanks for postiing the pics hope u get them rooted and all goes well |
This all sounds so interesting! What size cuttings do you make? Is it just one stem? How do you prepare to plant in ground? is one stem supposed to make a bush? |
- Posted by xavierdlc61887 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 29, 06 at 14:47
Yeah it is Interesting the sizes i took were 4-6 inches, still waiting for them to root....you prepare them like you would any other plant and as to make it bushy you pinch off new growth the promote multiple branching but im guess it would take a while...but if u do it in growing season like spring i think they would proly grow faster when u pinch off the new growth...im not expert so ask someone else in the post i mean this is my opinion i dont know it if its true but guessing common sense i think that would be right...:-P |
I've always been interested in cuttings - never tried it though. I have boxwood with new growth in the yard that I'd like to try. Question is.......do you leave them under the plastic at all times? wouldn't that cause a mold? Don't they need to breathe? Please give me the heads up on that process please....it's still frosty at nite yet here in zone 5b or else I'd try the outside method. I like the freeplants.com site and get the newsletter too. But no info on the humididome. I thank you in advance. By the way, great job! I hope I'm as lucky as you. Deederbug. |
The top photos are the first I ever tried. They all rooted in 60 days with GREAT roots. I then put them in the 4" pots and placed outside in a bright area but no direct sun. They are left under the plastic all the time. If I ever saw mold I removed the moldy leaf(s) and sprayed with an anti fungal spray (GardenSafe Fungicidal 3. Only had to do it a couple times. After 30 days I began to remove the cover every few days for a day and then replaced never letting them dry out. I am in Zone 5 as well. I have to believe tha Xavier is correct about the pinching for fuller growth but again I am a beginner like most. I will try this method as well. Grancru |
I used duct tape to hold the plastic on the wire frame. the made it very light and easy to place on the tray frame. The tape was folded over and also protects from the wire ends scratching or cutting anything. Grancru |
I have a great solution for any mold or fungus that might grow on the cuttings due to the high humidity. I keep a can of Lysol nearby and any signs of something I didn't put there it gets a quick spray. This has worked excellent in many occasions. My mass cuttings are looking great so far 1 month in (halfway there). Lots of new growth and not a single one looking unhealthy! Grancru |
They are very easy to grow -- slow growing plants, but easy to root. I've done it several times. Ianna |
Virginia State University: Shearing and Pruning Shearing is the uniform removal of all or part of the latest flush of plant growth. Plants are sheared to increase compactness or to maintain a specified size or shape. During the first few years after planting, boxwoods should be sheared after each flush of growth to encourage additional branch development. Thereafter, they should only be sheared to maintain a desired shape or form. However, be aware that continuous shearing causes a thick outer shell of foliage that creates dense shade on the interior branches. Continuous shading of the inner branches results in foliage drop from those shoots, thereby decreasing plant value and aesthetics. Do not shear boxwood in late summer since this might force new growth that will not have sufficient time to harden before frost. Pruning is the removal of selected branches or plant parts. Plants are pruned to remove diseased, injured, dying, or dead branches. Unwanted branches are also removed by pruning, especially when plants are being trained to a specific form, such as a topiary or espalier. Boxwoods are best pruned, rather than sheared, to maintain a natural shape and to keep plants at a desired size so that they do not outgrow their landscape value too quickly. Boxwoods usually require some pruning in spring to remove any branches that have been killed during the winter. Also, as plants get older, some of the older branches may have to be removed so that light can get to the inner shoots. |

ok, i'm taking the plunge. got 15 buxus 'wintergreen' at home depot (of all places) for $4 each. they look healthy & they're in gallon pots, so i thought it was a pretty sweet deal. i'm going to try to get about 200 little starts going this summer. fingers crossed! thanks much for all the tips & encouragement. |
Hey what happened to the pictures? I am very much interested in doing this very thing. Can they be posted or am I just to late to view them. Thanks |
Mary, What is your e-mail address? I can send you some photos directly. Grancru |
Thanks Grancru I just sent you an email. Mary |
I've started a baker's dozen of boxwood cuttings in an open plastic container. I scraped the cambium w/ a steril knife and added rooting powder to the wound then placed the cuttings in moderately moist peat pellets in the shade. I will continue to monitor the moisture level of the pellets. Does it sound like I did it properly? When should I expect to see results? Paul B. |
Paul, I believe you need to maintain a good humidity level for the cuttings to absorb moisture. Unless you are misting or are in an area that has good hunidity. It takes 45-60 days for good roots to form. Grancru |

I would wait for the spring growth to harden off a bit, or they will rot. Ron |

Great project! I am glad this got brought forward at this time, it gives me time to plot and plan how many I need for a partere in my back garden. Thanks for sharing with us. Do you have any recent photos? I would love to see what they look like now. How many additional cuttings did you stick? Janie |
Hi Janie, Must have been 100 +/- that took. They are all in 4" pots right now being burried in snow as wee speak. No recent photos but maybe the next thaw I can take a few. They are slow growers but the new growth is unmistakable. Grancru |
Hey guys, I'm looking at propogating boxwood from branches. When can I start? I'm in zone 6. Do you need perticular potting mix? root harmon growth? Can you put it in styrofoam cups or 6" pot, outside in shady area and make sure it is moist. |
- Posted by hookedongardens67 6 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 31, 11 at 0:18
Zone 6 for boxwoods i would suggest the best time is probably in July or August but you can really do them any time of the year except for when the plant has soft wood pushing out. The firmer the better. You can expect to see some rooting in about 4 weeks with a nice system of roots in 2 months or so. No pretreatment is needed but if you feel better with using something along those lines, maybe something really weak perhaps 1000-2000 ppm. peat/perlite works best, but i planted 200 of them last year in just plain sand and it worked just fine. I may have lost 8 or so over this past winter. You'll do fine with doing boxwoods. Oh with the treatment, if you perfer using it, I wouldn't use anything in powder form, I'm a true believer in liquid solutions, and yes, I do have a favorite, a little more $$$ than the powder forms but wow! What a difference! Not sure if we can brand names here. Well, good luck with your boxwoods. |
If I only need to propogate few boxwoods, can I use water bottles, cut it in half,fill it up with garden soil, make some slits in the bottom for drianage, leave the top cap open for ventilation to creat the same dome house and leave it outside? Just like winter sowing method. when the roots grow you can transplant thenm in a pot and then when do you put them in ground? would you put it in ground this summer/fall or next spring? |
Hello All, I know it's kind of late to be posting as it seems this thread is already inactive, but I am also endeavoring to take a few cuttings from some boxwood plants I have in my front yard. So far they have continued growing and new leaflets are starting to form, but as of yet, there is no root system. I am kind of confused because wouldn't the plants need water from roots to continue growing? I have had the cuttings in a half and half mixture of sand from a river near my house that has been rinsed and sterilized and regular potting soil, any suggestions on what I should do? |

whatever happened to john??? he should call me ... as to the last post ... hardwood cutting can take a very long time to actually root ... and you provide no facts as to when you 'stuck' your cutting.. also.. you should have started a new post.. so replies come to your mailbox.. instead of john's .. heck... i dont know if you will ever get this reply ... what you are seeing is the cuttings using up the energy stored w/in them.. and you hope that they root.. before they use it all up ... ken |
I like your set up. Boxwood & azalea are easy to root, so 90-100% is great, but not rare. |

Oddly enough, it is totally legal in Louisiana to purchase an alcoholic drink in a drive through. Here's the catch….it's still illegal to drive drunk. Most places put a piece of scotch tape on top to keep you from drinking and driving. It's hysterical.
Used to be legal in FL to have a 'closed' container. Open container not so much. Put a straw in the lid and it's closed.

TUCSON-Pit bulls have gotten a bad rap because of some attack incidents.
Supporters said the attention is giving the breed a bad name.
Some dog attack victims held a walk Saturday to educate others about reducing dog attacks.
It comes on "National Pit Bull Awareness" day.
Those we spoke to said they were attacked by pit bulls and are still recovering emotionally.
"Sometimes I find myself just crying in tears," said Jennifer Amdor.
Amdor said her neighbor's pit bull ripped off her face just months ago.
"Completely torn off... I'm not really sure how it happened, but at some time the dog let go because I had some skin that I could put back on," said Amdor.
Not only was her face severely scarred, but her inner sense of peace as well.
"I see pictures of myself before this and sometimes get a little choked up because this is getting used to a whole new way to look," said Amdor. "I still have a little bit of a trauma response. I get startled very easily."
This group's goal is to raise awareness about "dangerous dogs."
"Give people a chance to hear from people who have experienced these attacks and what has happened to them afterwards," said Collen Lynn, another victim of a dog attack.
Rose Welever, with The Animal League of Green Valley said not all pit bulls are dangerous dogs.
"People see them as big and scary and fighting dogs, and in fact people make them that way and because of their loyalty and their eagerness to please people that they make such good fighting dogs. They want to please," she said.
At this no-kill shelter, there are plenty of pit bulls.
The shelter's president told us they're the last to be adopted because of their reputation.
"People think that they're not good pets and that they're dangerous, but as you can see here today, ours are so peaceful and so loving and very beloved by their handlers," said Jean Davis, the shelter's president.
They hope people will give this breed a chance so that these dogs could find a forever home.
But the victims hope anyone giving these breeds a chance will use extra caution.
"If you're going to have a vicious dog, you're going to have to be a very smart owner," said Amdor.

I will create an environment where you can speak openly without fear of retribution as long as your speech is not harmful to others.
I will earn your trust by being a good listener and remaining confidential in personal matters. I will be honest and complete in my communications. I will not hesitate to make the tough decisions although they may not be popular. I will use reliable information when making decisions. I will have a personal relationship with the staff and faculty of our school.
I will accept the responsibility for my shortcomings. I will not place blame on others. I will be a constant learner. I will follow through with my commitments. I will know my limitations and will ask others for help. I will hold myself accountable for the results of the students at Roosevelt Elementary. I will take the responsibility for the success or the shortcomings of our instructional program.
I will treat everyone with fairness. I will not show preferential treatment to others, but I will have individual consideration. I will act with consistency in all that I do. I will demonstrate empathy by being there during difficult times. |

A strong undersea earthquake rocked western Indonesia Friday, about 190 miles southwest of the capital, Jakarta.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The 6.4 magnitude quake comes as recovery efforts continue from another powerful earthquake in September. It was not powerful enough to cause a tsunami, an official with Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, said.
In September, a 7.6 magnitude quake on the neighboring Indonesian island of Sumatra killed more than 1,100 people. The epicenter of that quake was a few hundred miles north.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the strength of Friday's earthquake at 6.5 and said it had a depth of 35 miles.

UNC School of Medicine Dress Code Policy
"Personal neatness and appropriate attire provide an atmosphere of professionalism and inspire confidence in our ability to deliver services." - UNC GME Policy on Professional Business Attire
A growing body of evidence shows that a physician's appearance and attire has a significant influence on patient trust, confidence, and perceived empathy in the doctor-patient relationship1,2,3. Your attire functions as a symbol of competence, expertise, and compassion and is a vital part of the first impression you make on a patient or colleague. Accordingly, all students at the UNC School of Medicine are required to adhere to the following Dress Code Policy.
Professional settings
A "professional setting" is defined as any one of the following:
- any environment involving patient contact, including in lecture settings
- any event hosted by the SOM or UNC Health Care (incl. White Coat Ceremony and scholarship banquets)
- any event in which a student is representing the SOM
Students are required to dress professionally in all of the above settings, unless otherwise specified by the administration or supervising faculty or staff. Students are also required to wear a white coat and SOM-issued ID badge at all times while on UNC Health Care premises and/or in any patient care setting, unless otherwise specified.
Recommended acceptable attire in professional settings includes:
- collared shirts, button-down shirts, ties, blouses, and sweaters
- slacks or dress pants, knee-length skirts and dresses
- close-toed shoes and low-heeled shoes
Inappropriate attire in professional settings includes:
- clothing that is excessively tight or revealing
- denim or casual athletic wear incl. t-shirts, leggings worn as pants, tank tops, sweatpants and hoodies
- shorts, skorts, or skirts/dresses/pants that fall above the knee
- clothes bearing offensive messages or images
- sandals, open-toed shoes, excessively high-heeled or platform shoes, and "finger" shoes.
NOTE: If you have to ask whether something is appropriate, it most likely is not!
Disciplinary Action
If a student is found to be in violation of the UNC SOM Dress Code, he/she may be sent home by any supervising faculty or staff member. The administration exercises the right to further discipline students who repeatedly violate the dress code, in accordance with procedure for repeated professionalism violations of any kind.

Inequality Debates 1
November 27, 2012 in uncategorized
"It is now more dangerous to be a woman than to be a soldier in modern conflict." Major General Patrick Cammaert, 2008 former UN Peacekeeping Operation commander in Democratic Republic of Congo.
A woman is also least safe in her own home, amongst her own, most beatings, injuries and killings occurring at home and involving family, friends and neighbours.
Why is there a war on women?
How do South Africans relate to this?
"It is now more dangerous to be a woman than to be a soldier in modern conflict." Major General Patrick Cammaert, 2008 former UN Peacekeeping Operation commander in Democratic Republic of Congo.
It's worth listening to the Major General. In the last half-century, war has changed. Civilians now account for more than 70% of causalities, and most of these are women and children. This isn't just an unhappy accident either
– women are being targeted. Some 40 million people – 80% of them women and children – are forced to leave their homes because of armed conflict, left struggling to survive without food, shelter or health care.
Sounds a bit paranoid – why exactly are women being singled out?
It's true to say that in times of conflict, violence against women comes in all manner of gruesome forms – physical, sexual and psychological. As a weapon of war, rape in particular is horribly effective, used to conquer and control women and their communities, as we've seen in Bosnia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
And why? Because often, women are still seen as the property of men – rape the women and you humiliate the men. These women might be deliberately infected with HIV or made pregnant, and in some instances, might be forced into sexual and domestic slavery. As for the women themselves, words can't do justice to the burden it forces them to carry. Rape can make them social outcasts, often living in shame and fear, never seeing their attacker brought to justice. It's a nasty tactic with nasty results.
Come on, don't men suffer too?
Let's face it – no one gets off lightly in war-torn countries. We know that male fighters lose their lives fighting in appalling conditions, often for reasons they don't believe in or understand. But there's no denying the particular horrors that rain down on women. It robs them of their human rights, it strips them of their dignity.
Women can be part of the solution to the human rights consequences of conflict, yet often, their voices aren't heard. Over the past 25 years, only one in 40 of the folks signing peace agreements has been women. But hear them we must – if you want to build a peaceful country, you need to involve those who represent half of the population: women.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowThe Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant crouches demurely amid innocuous markets, barbershops and thrift stores along a stretch of Colfax that's the metro area's primary, though not only, Ethiopian zone. Meat or vegetable combination platters may be the way to go for novices, but the more adventurous should dig into an order of raw kitfo -- lean beef minced nearly to a paste and mixed with clarified butter and spices, resulting in a back-of-the-throat heat and luscious texture. Stewy wotts and sauteed tibs dominate the menu, but variations on sauces that whisper with cardamom, cloves, garlic and other unfamiliar but evocative flavors sit alongside searingly hot bites to be tempered with cold lentils or a salad of tomatoes and shreds of injera -- the ubiquitous bread that serves as an edible spoon in an otherwise cutlery-free restaurant. The atmosphere mirrors the personality of its proprietor (who is also the sole server, hostess, cook and cashier): a little harried but never rushed, spread a little thin but not to the point of frustration, and always sharing a smile or a gleam in the eye.

30 business owners share business-building advice
Celebrating 30 years in business is a milestone, but it's all the more significant when the entrepreneur is a woman in publishing. Sherren Leigh, the original Today's Chicago Woman, has the distinction of being that entrepreneur as both founder and publisher of the city's only magazine for and about professional women. Other women-owned publications have come and gone, and none have had TCW's staying power, strong content and excellent graphics.
To pay tribute to a woman whose first issue of TCW rolled off the presses in October 1982, I offer 30 "pearls of wisdom" (the pearl is the 30th anniversary symbol) from 30 successful women business owners. If you own a business – or plan to start one – and need a formula for longevity and success, read on.

U.S. natural gas production has surged in recent years and prices have dropped, reigniting interest in natural gas (NG) as a transportation fuel. Advantages include its domestic availability, low cost, and clean-burning qualities. Factors that have slowed widespread use—especially in light-duty passenger vehicles—include limited public fueling infrastructure, limited range compared to comparable gasoline-powered vehicles, and vehicle designs that sacrifice trunk space to accommodate the large fuel tank.
With support from the Advanced Research Programs Agency—Energy (ARPA-E), SRI is developing a new NG storage system based on commercially available carbon sorbent from ATMI, Inc. The carbon stores large quantities of NG at low pressure by adsorption, and has enough structural integrity to act as the pressurized container in a system developed by SRI.
Advantages to this new approach, developed under ARPA-E's MOVE (Methane Opportunities for Vehicle Energy) program, include:
Safety and convenience: Reduced NG pressure increases safety and reduces the complexity and cost of fueling at home or in public fueling stations
Design flexibility: ATMI's material can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, so storage tanks can be seamlessly integrated into the vehicle design without sacrificing passenger or trunk space
SRI showcased this new approach for the first time at the 2013 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit, held February 25 to 27 at the Gaylord Convention Center (just outside Washington, D.C.).

This is definitely one of the best articles I have read in this website! Thanks Mate
It is abundantly clear that natural gas will likely be the future of mass transportation and shipping. I am you on the safety aspect though. I have had a chance to work on and around natural gas vehicles and fueling stations and I am very concerned about the safety aspects.
Natural gas is way cheaper and actually car gets some extra boost power, because natural gas has a higher temperature and that produces more power in the engine. Now when the price for the gasoline jumped so high, natural gas become very popular.
U S.natural gas is a feasible used for the vehicles because the low cost of price and clean burning qualities. Also advantage is this domestic availability

Dog Haircut:
The American Cocker Spaniel haircut. This is dog grooming for your pet Cocker Spaniel.
The Cocker Spaniel is a high maintenance dog and you will use most if not all of your dog grooming equipment.
You have done all your setup; brushing, bathing, drying, finish brushing and sanitary trim and you're ready to start your dog haircut.
Using a #10 clipper blade, clip between the eyes creating an inverted V and then down the top of the muzzle to the tip of the nose.
Still using your #10 clipper blade clip the rest of the face following the lay of the coat.
You can also use an #8½ clipper blade against the lay of the coat to achieve the same look.
Clip the ears approximately 1/3rd of the way down the ear leather. Clipping the hair from the inside and outside of the ear.
With your #10 clipper blade clip the down the front of the neck to the breast bone and out to the sides of the neck creating a U shape.
Then with your dog grooming clippers you can continue with the #10 clipper blade or you can go to a blade that will leave more hair on the back of your dog. You can use any size full cut clipper blade that will leave you with the length of coat you prefer. I prefer using anywhere from a #10 to a #7 full cut clipper blade.
Clip from the back of the head down the back of the neck and sides of the neck blending into the U cut you made earlier.
Clip down the back and sides of the body blending off to leave a skirt.
You will want to clip down around the shoulder and then bring the line up some for the side coat. When you get to the hip drop the blending line down some and come around the hip.
Take your dog grooming scissors and scissor a round foot.
Do this by lifting up the leg hair and scissoring around the foot. Drop some of the leg coat and scissor around the foot again. Do this making the foot round and shaping the leg coat up into a bowl shape.
Scissor a sharp edge where you clipped the hair on your dogs ears. Be careful to only scissor hair.
Scissor the bottom of the ear into a bell shape and your cocker spaniel haircut is complete.
If you're finding you still need a piece of dog grooming equipment for your Cocker grooming you might want to check with our our suppliers and advertisers you see here.
Leave our Cocker Spaniel haircut page and return our breed haircut page.

The following are the 2013 Legislative Priorities for UVU. Click here to download the 2-page pdf highlighting these priorities. If you have any questions, please contact Cameron Martin, VP of University Relations, at 801-863-8514 or by emailing email@example.com.
Over the last five years, UVU has grown by 7,700 students (32% increase) and is projected to enroll 46,340 students in Fall 2020. In order to meet this demand, 1.4 million square feet of space is needed. In addition to its need for more classrooms, the University is also facing a critical shortage of faculty office space.
UVU is seeking a 250,000 sq. ft. classroom/office building that has 234 offices, 4 conference rooms, 11,704 sq. ft. of study space and a 1,000 seat auditorium. It will add 38 new classrooms. Total classroom seats - 3,189.
Ranks 1st through Regents' and Building Board's scoring processes.
A recent independent study commissioned by the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) showed that UVU receives a disproportionately low amount of state funding compared to the state's other institutions of higher education.
State appropriated funds account for just 38.15 percent of UVU's overall budget, falling well below the USHE median of 51.9 percent. As a consequence, UVU students pay a higher portion of their education relative to their peers at other USHE institutions.
Over the past 5 years UVU has increased its efficiency (cost per student FTE). However, with decreases in state funding per student FTE, the financial burden to students (tuition and fees) has increased by $847 (22%).
*Though tax funding as a percentage of appropriated revenue is at an all time low, it has leveled out thanks to equity funding.
The current USHE objective for its institutions is to compensate employees to at least 90% of median market value. A large portion of UVU faculty and staff fall below this mark. Among staff, a large portion fall even below 80% of median market value.
UVU respectfully requests, in partnership with USHE, that all higher education employees be included in any state appropriated employee cost of living adjustments.
UVU supports the Utah State Board of Regents' 2013 base increase operating budget request and legislative priorities (approved September 14, 2012), which are:

Mr. Ryder's big birthday
By LUIS MEYRELES / Towns Correspondent
Betty Ann Sutton raised two sons by herself in South San Francisco, supporting the family as an antique dealer. She also made art with pastels, held gallery shows and taught art students.
After 20 years of that, she wanted a change, "something less exhausting," and went to work at a hat store.
"I sold my teacher car and bought a Mercedes," said Sutton, 69. "Then the hat store failed."
When business faltered, Betty Anne decided to try selling the hats at the Marin Flea Market. "I looked around and said, 'Just look at all this stuff!' I sold my Mercedes and bought a 1972 Toyota station wagon."
Sutton parked that station wagon at the Colma dump near her home and started collecting antiques others had thrown out. Then she went to antique shows and rummage sales to sell her finds.
"I drove everywhere. Go to one, pack up, and go to the next," she said. "Every day was a different show or sale."
Sutton moved to Camp Meeker with the desire to do something for animals and her art. Forgotten Felines was holding a benefit. Sutton ran a rummage sale for the organization and raised $90. She was immediately hired as fundraiser "with no prior experience."
She put the word out: "If you like animals and you have stuff you want to get rid of, call me. I sold my station wagon and bought a 1986 Ford Aerostar van. I still have it."
Through her efforts in dealing antiques she became associated with the Antique Society, renting a space in the Gravenstein Highway emporium.
"Before long I knew all these people," explained Sutton. "When I first came to town I didn't know anyone. Volunteering, I met a lot of people. It made for a very full life.
"Around the same time I was thinking I could make more money if I leased a space, the Old Graton Post Office came on the market at $1 million. Six months later I saw it in the paper for much less. I called my Realtor and bought it that day."
That was August 2002, and Mr. Ryder & Co. Antiques was up and running by October, with her items and spaces for other antique collectors. "I just did everything they did at the Antique Society. No need to reinvent the wheel. All the people I came to know in the community pitched in."
Open a decade in October, the store got its name from her late dog, who in turn was named after her father. "Only his friends called him by his first name," said Sutton, remembering her father. "He was Mr. Ryder to everyone else, so we named (the dog) Mr. Ryder."
Each September she runs the Pet Parade as part of Graton Day.
"For $10 you can dress up your dog and walk in the parade. For the past two years proceeds have gone to All Aboard, a local animal shelter.
"We are very into rescue dogs. Each of the dealers has a rescue animal — Chester, Boomer, Gray, Norbert, Susie Q, Felix who just died, and Sarah Biscuit."
There are 12 dealers at Mr. Ryder. "Each dealer has their specialty, something they're good with."
She has gotten good reviews from antique dealers and collectors who have come through her store. One such customer said it was well edited, another that it was like a museum.
"There is no junk" said Sutton. Her customers, she adds, are "locals, of course. Lots of people from San Francisco, interior designers and photographers."
"I don't know how people find us. The restaurants bring people. Martha Stewart found us, Lonely Planet, Sunset and Via."
On Sunday, Oct. 7, the 10-year anniversary, Mr. Ryder and Co. will have a birthday party "in appreciation for the patronage and support I have received from the community," said Sutton.
Mr. Ryder and Co. is at located at 9040 Graton Road in Graton, 824-8221, mrryderantiques.com.
Editor's note: This story was updated to correct the date of Mr. Ryder's birthday party.

I am not even an idiot! I am a smart man! I am a smart person! I do math! I know about some insects! I read 1984 in high school! You don't know me! I am smart! you don't even know!
I've always wondered if parasites could be considered intillegent? I mean, some of the things they do seem quite intillegent for, apparently, having no brain[1], or what not.-Nam 1. speaking about endoparasites; some parasitical plants, and other such parasitical forms.
"I'm doing science and I'm still alive."--J.C.
AFAIK most parasites kill their host. Without a host, they die as well. How did they evolve with such a flawed "design"?I assume the fault is with my knowledge, but I'd still like an answer just to be sure.

CA Legislators Hustle More Tax Bills
April 25, 2011 - By CalWatchdog Staff By KATY GRIMES With another poll out today saying that voters want to vote on Gov. Jerry Brown's tax extension increases, the media are mum about the many other tax bills slithering through the Legislature which would greatly increase every taxpayer's total tax bill. Highlights of the new Times/USC Dornsife poll include:
Legislature's Tax-Increase ObsessionIt's unclear whether Gov. Brown's $12 billion tax increase will be on the ballot, possibly in November. And even if it makes it to a ballot, the odds probably are against it passing. But that hasn't stopped legislators from pushing bills that would raise taxes, make it harder to cut spending or increase regulations. Here are a few bills to watch out for, all authored by Democrats. The bill descriptions are explanation enough why we should be alarmed: 1. ACA 18 by Assemblyman Sandre Swanson of Oakland and SCA 5 by Assemblyman Joe Simitian of Santa Cruz. Either bill would lower to a majority vote Proposition 13's two-thirds threshold for local bonds and parcel taxes. 2. SB 653 by Senate President Pro-Tem Darrell Steinberg. It would allow counties to impose new/increased general taxes, including an income tax with only a majority vote. A Couple of Real clunkers3. AB 438 by Assemblyman Das Williams of Santa Barbara. It would require that if any local governments want to privatize libraries, a vote of residents must be taken. 4. SB 448 by senators Mark DeSaunier of Walnut Creek and Loni Hancock of Oakland. It would require an individual who receives compensation to circulate an initiative, referendum, or recall petition to wear a badge stating, "PAID SIGNATURE GATHERER," and that identifies if and where the person is registered to vote. More Taxes and Expenses5. AB 579 by Assemblyman Bill Monning of Santa Cruz. It would prohibits mobilehome park owners from challenging a rent-control ordinance in court. And it would permit the award of attorney's fees and other litigation expenses to a local governmental when the owner challenges the validity or application of a local ordinance or regulation, or initiative measure that regulates spaces rented. 6. AB 669 by Assemblyman Monning. Call it the Pop Tax. It requires a tax on soda — specifically on "bottled sweetened beverages" — at a rate of a penny per fluid ounce. So a 12-ounce soda would get hit with a 12-cent Pop Tax. The tax would be deposited (minus refunds and administrative costs) in the "Childrens Health Promotion Fund," which this bill would create. And the bill would allocate the money to the State Department of Public Health and Superintendent of Public Instruction for childhood obesity prevention programs. It's another mandated expenditure at a time when the state treasury is broke. 7. AB 153 by Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley (what happened to the Berkeley Free Speech Movement?). It would impose a sales tax aimed at in-state sales by what are called "affiliates," which are state residents and businesses that sell items online at Amazon, Ebay and other services. The affiliates often are small Mom & Pop type operations. It would not affect Amazon.com's own sales, which are regulated by federal law. (CalWatchdog January story: Online Retailers Are Tax Targets) The Board of Equalization (BOE) estimates increased state and local tax revenues of $152 million in 2011-12 and $317 million in 2012-13. If this tax-increase passes, Amazon.com has said it would fire all its California affiliates. 8. SB 928 by Sen. Noreen Evans of Santa Rosa. It would grant counties the same local taxing authority as chartered cities. This bill would authorize the board of supervisors of any county to levy any tax that may be levied by any charter city. Legislators say this bill is needed to support schools, fire and police. And who could quibble with that? But the elephant in the room is the total cost of all of these tax bills California residents and businesses are facing should they pass — and no one is talking about that. "With California finally beginning to recover from the recession, it would be disastrous to open the floodgates for local income and excise taxes," the California Taxpayers Association objected. "The state currently is collecting billions of dollars more in personal income taxes than it did the previous fiscal year, which is a great sign for the state — a thriving economy is the best source of new revenue to fund necessary government programs." Total Cost of the Tax ShocksThe additional total cost of these tax bills, and the danger they could wage on Californians, many already precariously perched on the brink of financial ruin, could devastate the state. While each bill eventually gets analyzed by legislative staff, no one at the Capitol appears to be adding up the total cost of all of the tax bills to taxpayers, including Brown's tax extension increases.
