Three bank chief executives are set to step down by July 10, 2010 courtesy of a new tenure limit unveiled yesterday by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). By the new limit, no managing director or chief executive officer of a bank will be allowed to serve for more than two terms of five years each. Jim Ovia, pioneer chief executive of Zenith Bank; Tony Elumelu who transited from the defunct Standard Trust Bank (STB) as its CEO to United Bank of Africa (UBA) also as the managing director and Falolu Bello, managing director of Unity Bank.
Given the retroactive nature of the tenure limit, the three bank chiefs who had already spent more than 10 years in their various positions will have to hand over to their successors on July 10. The decisions were taken on Monday by CBN's Board of Governors as a way of instilling good corporate governance in banks, institutionalising the arrangement for appointment of chief executives, as well as ensuring that banks put in place a good succession plan.
Announcing the Board's decision to journalists yesterday after the Bankers' Committee meeting held in Abuja, Samuel Oni, CBN's director of banking supervision said the apex bank also took the steps to especially ensure that the institutions are not nationalised.
According to Oni, all banks will reflect the provisions of the new guidelines as part of their engagement procedures of their CEOs. "All CEOs who would have served for 10 years by July 31, 2010 shall cease to function in that capacity and shall hand over to their successors. The banks are expected to have a credible succession programme that would be supervised by the board and monitored by the CBN.
Similarly, "where a bank is a product of a merger, acquisition, takeover or any other form of combination, the 10-year period shall include the pre and post combinations service years of the CEOs, provided that the bank in which he previously served as CEO was part of the new bank that emerged after the combination", Oni said of the apex bank's decision said.
According to the CBN directive, any person who has served as CEO for the maximum tenure in a bank has been disqualified for appointment in that bank or its subsidiaries until three years after his exit as CEO. Oni further reiterated that the conditions and terms under for the appointment of CEOs as approved by the board must also be ratified and approved at their annual general meeting.
Under the new dispensation also, Oni informed that "the governor, deputy governors of the CBN and the managing director/ CEO and executive directors of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation shall not be eligible for appointment in any capacity in banks and their subsidiaries under the supervision of the CBN and NDIC until after the expiration of five years from the date of their exit from CBN or NDIC as the case may be".
Also, "the departmental directors of the CBN and that of NDIC shall not be eligible for appointment in any capacity in banks and their subsidiaries under the supervision of the CBN and NDIC until after the expiration of three years from the date of their exit from either the CBN or NDIC as the case may be", the director added. However, some finance experts have expressed reservations on the tenure limitation. They are of the opinion that the owners of the company should determine who manages their bank and not the apex bank.
One of the respondents who spoke with BusinessDay but preferred not to be named said if one owns a bank, and he is running it well with depositors' funds not threatened, the CBN has no right to chase him or her away.

Page-Turning Romantic Suspense Set Against the Backdrop of a Small Mennonite Town
Lizzie Engel is used to running away. At eighteen, she left her Mennonite hometown, her family, and her faith with plans never to return. Five years later, Lizzie finds she'll have to run again. False accusations at her job, a stalker, and a string of anonymous threatening letters have left her with no other options. This time, however, her escape is back to Kingdom, her hometown.
As Lizzie becomes reacquainted with Kingdom, she realizes she may not have left her Mennonite roots and her faith as firmly in the past as she thought.
She draws on the support of Noah Housler, an old friend, as she hides out and attempts to plan her next steps.
When it becomes painfully clear that the danger has followed Lizzie to Kingdom, suspicions and tensions run high, and she no longer knows who to trust. With her life and the lives of those she loves at risk, Lizzie will have to run one last time–to a Father whose love is inescapable.
I was first introduced to Nancy Mehl by her Ivy Towers cozy mystery series. I liked them very much, so was interested in reading her newest mystery/romantic suspense novel, Inescapable. Inescapable is first and foremost a mystery.
Inescapable is the first book that I have read by Nancy Mehl, but it certainly will not be the last. The description of this book is what caught my interest. I have read books about the Amish for several years and I thought I would enjoy learning about the Mennonites, as well. I was correct. When you throw in some mystery and suspense it makes it a page turner that kept me up late into the night.
Inescapable comes from a new-to-me author. Nancy Mehl is actually an award-winning author of more than twelve books. Until this title, however, I had never heard of her. It was very nice to meet her.I admit I struggled to get into this. I prefer a more subtle style of writing and the first few pages struck me as too blunt in their descriptions. However, once about 30 pages in, I could hardly put down the book.
Inescapable is full of suspense and will leave you on the edge of your seat wondering who the mysterious man is and why he is following Lizzie. Will she stay in Kingdom or will she run again?
The plot was unpredictable, which is a refreshing change from several other books I've read recently. I often found myself perplexed when trying to fit the fragmented pieces of Lizzie's life together and solve the mystery of her stalker, true love and renewed faith. Once you've read this book, you will not, can not forget the ending! Betrayal and truth both take center stage but which will prevail?
Inescapable was a nice read. The author did a good job at totally keep you aloof to the villainous behaviors of some characters. If it had not been for a friend of mine who spilled, I would have not guessed who was behind the sinister plot. Nancy built your suspense level to full peak. Writing in first person was to the writers advantage in keeping the suspense, because there was no way you would know what the other characters were thinking.
Inescapable was a nice, fast-paced read. The premise and setting of the story intrigued me immediately. Nancy certainly met my expectations in the mystery department! Multiple twists and turns kept me guessing and on my toes- and the ending was somewhat unexpected.
I found most of the character's here to be so very loving and living a Righteous Life. You find God speaking to them, and I found myself wanting to live and visit with them. There is a lot that goes on in the story…stalking, embezzlement, threatening letters, murder, and when you think you have it all figured out, you don't. Loved how the story wrapped up! A really great and wonderful read!! Don't Miss!
The ending made me snicker as it was not done in the typical fashion. I think the author was clever and wanted to end the story in a fun way. It was a joy to follow this adventure and see not only how Lizzie's journey started but also ended.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Amish fiction with a little bit of mystery thrown in.
Inescapable is a great read! It is full of love for family, learning to trust God, mystery and intrigue. I didn't want to put it down!
Wow, I love this book! Lizzie, Clay, Noah, Lizzie's mom and dad, Cora and all of the gang are just like family to me now! Wonderful characters created by Nancy Mehl to give readers a story that will stick with us for a long time! I encourage you to grab a copy of Inescapable to read and enjoy. I love the mystery and suspense, with a little romance, and a whole lot of love. This is a story that will stay with you for a long time after you finish reading it! You will not be disappointed!
There were so many elements to this story that held my attention. There was the suspense and mystery of who was sending Lizzie notes, and following her, there was the issues that Lizzie faced because she was a struggling single parent, and there were issues between Lizzie and her parents as well as problems with the town of Kingdom itself. For me though what really made this story stand out was the character of Lizzie and the choices she made, in essence going full circle.
This is an interesting book and author, Nancy Mehl, has given a face to a branch of the Mennonite believers that I did not know existed. I knew Mennonites were peace loving, non-violent folks. I knew they held to a strict separatist form of church. But this story presented a very ridged isolationist church community.
I really liked the premise of this book: How might a former Mennonite handle worldly trouble of the dangerous variety? I've never encountered this idea in any other Mennonite or Amish book, and Mehl used this idea to create a storyline reminiscent of the old-timey villain movies. You know the ones – where the damsel-in-distress runs, screaming, from the dark-haired villain, up the steps and straight towards him? You know where he is, you can see her mistakes, but you can also understand why she's making them, and you're sadly unable to help her.
Inescapable, was a thought provoking book and really keeps the reader thinking throughout the book. I loved the suspense within the book and I also love how strong the main character is. I love reading books that have strong characters and especially strong female characters.
I absolutely LOVED this book, it will definitely be a keeper on my bookshelf. After lending it to a couple friends that is! Gotta say that this book was not my normal genre of read, normally i just like light and fluffy fun…but this romantic suspense was awesome!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book was not the run of the mill Amish romance. It is not often that you see an Anabaptist based book that is also a suspense, and this book was exactly what was needed to fill the gap.
Nancy Mehl has written an excellent suspense novel with a Mennonite twist. She succeeds in portraying a splinter group with cult-like tendencies which moved away from civilization many years before. Anyone who has watched the news in recent years knows this type of thing does happen, and of course is not limited to one belief or denomination.
An Old-Order Mennonite girl who runs away from home suddenly finds herself returning to the one place she never wanted to see again. That caught my interest! While it was really interesting to read about the life style of these people, Inescapable didn?t impress me as much as I was hoping it would. Especially since that cover is so intriguing!
This book is very suspenseful, and the "bad" guy is hiding in plain sight! I love it when that happens! But what I love most about this story, is that it really represents what fear does to all of us – it's paralyzing. God can and will deliver us from fear and allow us to face our fear rather than be held in it's inescapable clutches.
Inescapable was a satisfying read in all respects. I think that readers who enjoy Amish fiction and/or mystery suspense would find it to their taste.
I found Inescapable to be a wonderful mix of realistic characters, a fascinating setting, and a plot with equal parts suspense, romance, and faith journey. The initial story unfolds fairly quickly and the suspense builds rapidly after the initial lull where Lizzie thinks she is safe back at home. And while this is book one in her new Road to Kingdom series, each book will center on a different character from the town of Kingdom, which means the reader is not left hanging with regard to Lizzie?s situation.
There was a lot of telling in this book. The characters were kind of flat. But once you got past that, the premise was good, and it was interesting to read about a very strict, old order Mennonite community, and a woman who is struggling to find herself.
You will enjoy several plot twists and will be surprised in the end of what was behind all of the drama. This is one book you will enjoy reading!
This book started out with more of an old order faith, still with the horses and buggies, remote from the world and kind of isolated. I started out kind of
disappointed as I read about these people who were secluded and not interested in anything about the world, because that is not how the people I know are like. But hang in there, that was the way it was for a season and the group had begun to get enlightened to the truth more and more, rather than the rules.
I really liked this book a lot. It is the first one of Nancy's that I have read. She really drew me into the story right from the beginning with the air of mystery that is portrayed.
I liked the characters in the book, the plot, and the suspense. I can't remember if I have read any of Nancy's books before, but I really enjoyed this one.
Being a mystery buff since childhood, I was pleasantly surprised to read a good story with a mysterious twist, and a bit of romance! This is not just a mystery. Not just a Christian romance. Not just a good read. It?s all three wrapped up in one. I like that in a book!
I was captivated from the first chapter and could not put this one down until I knew who was hunting down Lizzie and Charity Engel. If you love a bit of suspense in your novels along with some Romance, then I just know you will want to pick this one up.
I love books like this. They are so enjoyable to read. Immediately I was drawn into the story and I wanted to know the how's and whys that happened to get our main character to where she was. Lizzie is a real person in how she acts and responds.
Inescapable draws you in from the first page and doesn't let go until after the last page is turned. The tension and suspense builds and builds as the story unfolds, this reader thoroughly enraptured with Lizzie's plight.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had a hard time putting it down and read it quickly. I do not like romance novels. My husband laughs at me everytime I say that. A lot of what have been reading lately could be considered romance – but that is not why I am reading it.
The book was really well written and had a little of everything…romance, suspense, mystery, crime, humor and so much more all rolled into one great book!
I really enjoyed this book even though I tend to stay away from Amish/Mennonite genre lately because they all seem to be the same! This one definitely is NOT and was great to read!
I really enjoyed this book, Lizzie just wants to find peace and happiness but she's being tormented by someone following her and by threatening letters. I enjoyed how Lizzie mends her hurts with her mom and how they both become strong women, I also thought the adventure and mystery in the book were quite intriguing!
I really liked how this book had a strong main character in Lizzie Engel. She wasn't just strong, she was vulnerable to and I really admired her drive to protect her young daughter at all costs. All of the characters in this book were so well developed, it's impossible not to notice how much attention the author paid to making the characters so real, with a rawness to them that made them all the deeper.
The reader will certainly be surprised to learn who the stalker is and there are more than a few twists to keep the reader busy before the end. The book is
well-written and the characters are enough to keep the reader flipping pages. This book is recommended to adult readers.
I think it's very difficult to create a character you don't understand. Therefore, I'd say there's a little of me in all my characters. Some may have more of my traits than others, but since human beings undergo a myriad of emotions and situations, there's always something to draw on.
Inescapable is a fast paced story that touches on themes of judgement, forgiveness, consequence, and perception.
This is the first Mennonite story that I have read, and I have to say that I truly enjoyed it. Nancy Mehl managed to write a modern day mystery over the backdrop of a small, insular Mennonite community. I found the story interesting and the pace fast. I read this one in just a day, because I got so caught up in Lizzy's plight that I didn't want to put the book down. This is the first book in the Road to Kingdom series and I will definitely be watching for the next one.
The minute I picked this book up I was hooked. I read the first 150 pages way into the morning hours. I was captivated by Lizzie who had run away from her Mennonite family and town of Kingdom, Kansas. She is a struggling young mom with a daughter who is doing her best to raise her child on her own.
Due to my own Mennonite heritage (though not Old Order) I was definitely intrigued by this book!
There were so many angles to this storyline – the suspense over who was following her and who was sending her the notes and was it the same person or were two different people involved, two possible love interests, dealing with faith and fear, dealing with forgiveness and bitterness, the relationship between Lizzie and her father…
After reading Inescapable, I do believe that I have found a new favorite author in Nancy Mehl. It was truly a great combination of my two favorite genres, Amish and Suspense.
For a genuine read about the difficulties of life, a love that never fails, suspense that keeps you intrigued, and insight into the changes in the Mennonite life, Nancy Mehl's book, Inescapable, is a great book to pick up and read!
I am a Kansas girl so I was tickled to read the back cover and find out that this story was set in my beloved homeland. Right from the beginning I was biased towards this book. Probably because I lived the majority of my life there and because the author lives there too, it was easy for me to picture the setting. I enjoyed reading Nancy's novel. I would not personally consider it in the suspense category. I thought it was more of a mystery type. Regardless of that, the story is intriguing and the characters are endearing (well most of them are). I think you'll be glad you picked this one up.
Wow, I loved this book. It had lots of suspense, heart, and redemption all rolled into one book. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. This was the first time I have read any of Nancy Mehl's books. I look forward to reading more of her books.
This was a great read from start to finish. It was fascinating to read about the Mennonite lifestyle and faith which differs from the Amish.
Mehl did a great job of making each man seem appealing, though I knew who I wanted Lizzie to be with, I wasn't entirely sure where Mehl was going with the love triangle. One of my favorite characters was Charity, she was completely adorable, and I totally understood her obsession with "nice" potties. I also loved seeing the changes in the Mennonite community as the book progressed.
An awesome book!! I loved this book, I love reading suspense and this totally fits the bill. Nancy Mehl kept me reading till I finished the book. I had a clue who the bad guy was, but there were so many twists in the story, that I was not hundred percent positive I was on the right track. Truly a great suspense story that can keep you guessing
Inescapable truly has everything you could ever wish for in a novel – adventure, romance, danger, villains, family, and an underlying message of hope. If you enjoy fast paced, exciting fiction, I most definitely recommend this book!
I felt like the book was filled with just enough tension and intrigue to keep me reading.I also felt like the mystery part of the book was very well done. I didn't guess who Lizzie's stalker might be until near the part in the book where he was revealed. There are also a lot of places in the book that spoke to me personally and touched my heart.
This is the first Nancy Mehl book I've read and it won't be my last! I absolutely loved it! I felt like I was right there in Kingdom it was so vivid and the
characters were so real.
I really enjoyed everything about this book. It is another one that grab me right from the start and I couldn't put the book down until I finished it. I feel in love with the main character and I loved seeing things through her eyes.
Inescapable was a real page turner-I couldn't put it down! I had never read one of Nancy Mehl's books, and now I am hooked! Inescapable is the first in the Road to Kingdom series.
All I can say is, "This is my kind of book in the extreme!" This book has it all: romance, mystery, humor, and a strong Christian message. The characters are extremely well-developed, and every aspect of the story makes perfect sense. I honestly don't think I have a negative thing to say about this book or author.
I was excited to step out of the, maybe over saturated, Amish market and into the Mennonite world. It would be nice to read a bit about how some Mennonite groups live as well. This was a pretty strict Mennonite group featured in this story and this particular group was similar to the Amish and even more so if that makes sense. But it was interesting.
I have to begin by saying that I loved this book. There was so much action and suspense happening that I had a hard time to put the book down and over two nights reading this book I stayed up late reading until the wee hours. Everytime I thought I would put it down something would happen that left me saying just a little more.
I enjoyed how Nancy Melh described the characters and plot in extremely detail. I felt like I was watching the story unfold line by line and page by page. The Western theme aspect to the novel added a nice country flavor to the plot. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy a mystery merged with forgiveness, healing, love, and overcoming pain. Major life lessons are woven into the concept of an appealing debut book in the series.
I started reading this book on a rainy morning and, literally, could not put it down! I read it in one day and enjoyed every minute of it.
I really enjoy when the author has some fun with names. In Inescapable the town Lizzie has left is named Kingdom. So she has let the Kingdom and is now returning to the Kingdom. Get it? Inescapable has a Prodigal Son feel to it even though in this case Lizzie is female so that would make her the Prodigal Daughter.
Inescapable is a surprisingly engrossing, action-packed thriller, as well as an exploration of whether it is possible to find one's way home again after an extended absence during which so many things change, yet seem to stay the same. Mehl also explores the themes of redemption, forgivenes, and trust amid a captivating cast of supporting characters. The result is a delightful story about fresh perspectives, and finding inner strength, along with discerning one's life purpose.
Lizzie is a character that you'll wrap your heart around. A great read of faith!
This was a great read for me! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. Lots of other goodies, don't want to give away the rest! Couldn't put this book down.
There is a bit of mystery and a little romance in the novel as well. It is all nicely done. This is the first in a new series and I look forward to reading the next book about Kingdom.
I really liked this book. It was an easy read. Just the right amount of suspense, romance, and humor to keep my attention and interest to the end. I can't tell you how it ends, or it would ruin it, but I can tell you that she kept me guessing. Just when I thought I had it figured out, there was another twist.
As a reader who's used to contemporary Amish fiction (minus the suspense) I found Inescapable to be a refreshing change. I enjoyed the characters, the romance and the setting however I did have some issues with the story. The relationship with her old friend Noah developed almost too quickly. It's been years since they've seen each other and they both led very different lives in the interim. I thought a few talks about their lives and each others faith and how they've changed would have made their relationship more realistic. Other than that the book was excellent.

Okay, here it is. I have been researching hydroponics for a few years now and pretty intensely for the past 18 months; the wife thinks I have gone insane. I researched, designed and build my very first hydroponic system based on the compilation of information I could find online and in books. I have built a 2 channel NFT system.
So here is the rundown; I used 4ŌĆØx4ŌĆØ-5ŌĆÖ Vinyl fence posts + caps for the channels. I have them supported on a sturdy folding table about 3ŌĆÖ off of the ground. The design is simple enough. I have a fountain pump supplying nutrient solution out of a 20 gallon Rubbermaid container. The supply line provides a nutrient solution to the upper channel which flows through the first channel before ŌĆ£looping down and aroundŌĆØ to the second channel. Solution flows through second channel and ŌĆ£free fallsŌĆØ back into the reservoir. I made the adjustment to the ŌĆ£Free fallŌĆØ after water levels looked too deep while the initial drain valve was on the terminal end. With the valve removed it looks much more like a film. (The top channel still sits a dit deep (1 cm or more)
I will try to explain as much as I can
I have a ┬╝ŌĆØ drop over the first 5 foot channel, then a 3ŌĆØ step down to the second channel, also on a ┬╝ŌĆØ slope. I have adjusted my flow to right at 2 liters per minute or just a hair below; Nutrient solution appears to be flowing right around a few millimeters. I have read the slower flow and minimal slope should help increase oxygen and nutrient uptake by the roots. Lighting is provided by a 2 bulb T8 fixture with Sylvania 32W Octron 6500K bulbs suspended above the system. There is also moderate daylight that comes through the adjacent window. I have made reflective coverings to surround the back, sides and top of the system to retain as much of the (what I understand to be) minimal light as possible. Temperature and humidity are in line with local weather (Northern Virginia) as I have kept the AC off and windows wide open in this room since I started. So, I started the system with 10 gallons of tap water and ran it for a couple days to check for leaks, check functionality and adjust Ph. Confident that I was mechanically within ŌĆ£industry standardsŌĆØ I added ┬Į strength nutrients; Dutch Master Grow A & B & Add27 (I came out to 1200 PPM including the taps base of about 350 ppm). I was ready to plant! I started with Rosemary, Thyme and Chive starters. Using a bucket I carefully washed the dirt off the roots of the starter herbs. I placed the root system into my 3ŌĆØ net pots and supported the stems with Expanded Clay Aggregate. A few days later I transplanted a yellow squash that I started from seed and a ŌĆśPatioŌĆÖ (determinate) variety tomato plant that came as a starter.
So now that I have shared a basic picture of the setup I open myself up to critique, criticism and advice. I have many questions and look forward to becoming an active member of your forum.
WhatŌĆÖs the deal with transplanting into net pots? I could all but not get the fragile roots through the net pots openings and had to resort to cutting holes large enough to pass them through. I fear that this has bound some of the roots together as the Rosemary and Thyme roots look like soggy ponytails.
Lighting, is it possible to grow the fruiting vegetables under this light setup? What about the herbs, even if the T8 setup is not sufficient for the Tomato and Squash, shouldnŌĆÖt the herbs be doing just fine? On that note, is it a disadvantage to be growing different crops at the same time versus growing all of the same type? Nutrients. Is this ŌĆ£Dutch MasterŌĆØ brand nutrients and additives adequate for these types of crops? I get the feeling that these may be blended for more ŌĆ£controversialŌĆØ crops and may not be suitable for my hopes of fresh herbs, lettuce and veggies.

When tranplanting, say a plant in a 4-6" rockwoll cube with hanging roots place the roots in then fill in clay pellets. The roots will find their way. You may need to consider the size of the plant and figure if the netpot is the right one for the palnt. "Is it acceptable to use only clay aggregate as the substrate or should I be using them in conjunction with something like Coca husk, perlite or Rockwool? . The nutrients that I prefer: General Hydroponics 3-part/CaMg/florashield. |

Sorry about that. To bad you cant edit ;) "Is it acceptable to use only clay aggregate as the substrate or should I be using them in conjunction with something like Coca husk, perlite or Rockwool?" Just the clay is what you want. BTW Vey nice set up. Try cherry tomatoes in that system. |

AHHHHHHH!!!! AS TMG stated, the roots need only be covered with the hydroton and they will eventually find their way through the net pots, no need to cut those guys! I am impressed by the amount of dedication you have put into the system, and it looks like all of the research has payed off! The best part is, you actually made a system that runs well : ) Trust me, now that you have a working system, it will be easy to learn about how the plants grow and what it takes to get them to grow. You need to take into consideration that you will probably be learning about the plants and their needs for about as long as it took you to learn how to make this fantastic system before you are very good at it. Unless you are like Michael Jordan and just know how to play basketball from the get go ; ) |

Yes. Where hydroponics is less leg work it is more brain work. Find the best ppm for your plants. I am sure you know this but the basic macro and micro nutrients and a "cleaner" is all you need to grow. |
JVAT, I read the post, but was interrupted a few times, so I may have skipped something. Are you planning to move some plants out? That lighting won't likely be enough for larger plants that require lots of light. It's not just important for the health of the plant. It's important for the taste of the fruits. The sugar content of the tomato is largely determined by the amount of light it receives. I ran an experiment and found a real significant difference between using T12 lighting and sunlight when growing cherry tomatoes a couple years back. The kids didn't even like the T12 cherry tomatoes. They couldn't get enough of the ones in sunlight. The herbs will grow, but more light does equal more potency. For example, cilantro isn't nearly as good grown under T12's (never used the T8, but I'm guessing it's going to have similar results). Will they grow? Yeah. Will they be as good? Doubtful. It's like lettuce. I have seen other people post pics of lettuce grown under cfl's and T5/8/12 lighting. They seem satisfied with the results and use it as evidence that you can use this lighting successfully. If I got those results, I'd be adding to the compost bin. I like my leafy greens to be dark green and full of flavor. Never seen any evidence that this can be done under that lighting. Your plants are awfully close together. Plants get huge when you grow hydro. I would say tomatoes need no less than 24 inches of total space and that is only if you are ready to prune the hell out of them. How are you planning to trellis? Squash usually needs trellised or staked in the ground. I imagine it is even more necessary in hydro as the plants grow bigger. Obviously, tomatoes need trellising or caged. I wish you luck. I am not trying to be overly critical. I just hate for you to get too far into it before you realize some of the problems many of us have already experienced. |

Yea the above poster has really hit alot of points that we left out. In hydro trellesing is huge. Also to fruit yes you will need hps lighting to get a good harvest. |
Thanks for all of the positive feedback! I build the system with 12 net pot holes but already have figured that I may need to keep some of them empty as adjacent plant size dictates. As far a trellesing I plan on "training" the tomato and Squash to twine running from the ceiling, securing the vine every 12" or so then using zip-ties or something to that effect for supporting the fruit/veggie clusters as needed. Thanks for all of the positive feedback so far! I build the system with 12 net pot holes but already have figured that I may need to keep some of them closed-off as adjacent plant size dictates. As far a trellesing I plan on "training" As far as herbs, assuming I get any substantial growth, I am going to keep the herbs pruned (the wife and I cook from scratch regularly and use fresh herbs with most meals. Ideally, I would like to have the squash, the '┐Įpatio'┐Į tomato and the herbs, and then if things are going okay, adding lettuce (or other greens) as space permits. @joe.jr. No, you didn'┐Įt miss anything, right now, the 2 bulb T8 fixture is all I have. My plans are to purchase a HID light setup within the next week. I spent MANY hours researching pros and cons of the different varieties available. Once I have the HID setup, I will use the T8s for seed germination in rockwool. So on the HID light topic'┐Į I like the specs on a few 400W models that I have found. 400W should be adequate for my 4.5'┐Įx2'┐Į area, correct? I don'┐Įt want to overkill it as overall space and monthly power bills are a part of my equation. I have seen 400W "Light Kits" that include Electronic Ballast, reflective hood, HSP and MH bulbs. The claims are that the ballast and hood can run/fit/hold either bulb type. Is there any validity to these claims? Are there any drawbacks to one of these "combination" HSP/MH kits? |
Here is a link that might be useful: 400 Watt HPS/MH combo
Just wanted to add that fruiting plants can be grown successfully as well as tasty with florescent lighting, provided they get enough light. However I don't think it's really any more cost effective than using HID lighting. But here are a few videos of a hydroponic grower that has been using nothing but florescent lights for years to grow everything from peas, to beans, to tomato's, to berry's, to melons, to pineapple etc.. And even just regular flowers too. Also, from what he said in another forum, the fruits and veggies were very tasty as well. insert anchor text |
@homehydro - Some of those are pretty cool! Last night I acquired HID lighting. Hydrafarm 400W MH setup and a Generic 1000W HPS setup. I Installed the 400W last night, tested it, checked for safety and rigged a box fan for temporary heat reduction. Today is day 1 with the new light, Im pretty excited to see the difference. The 1000 W may be overkill for my limited space but I figure I can run it intermittently (2 on 2 off or something to that effect, any advise appreciated!)when my veggies really get going. |
Not sure what you mean by 2 on 2 off. Do you mean hours? I recommend against that if you do. |
Yes, I am wondering if it would make overall sense to run the 400w MH for say 12 hours a day (or whatever timelegnth, 14 or 15 hrs) and then in order to conserve energy costs, only run the 1000w HPS intermittently, 2 hours on 2 hours off, or 3 and 3. something to that effect. Or does the light need to fall for a consecutive amount of time, say 6 hours straight. Because I am attempting to grow multiple plant types simultaneously, I would like to provide both light sources daily. I have so much to learn! |
You could, if you have the means, run the MH light with fluorescent as the supplementary lighting. Then switch to HPS for flowering and continue to use the fluorescent as supplementary. If you could put the fluorescents lower and on edge to shine from the sides, that would increase the amount of light lower than the canopy without the increase of heat from the HPS. Also, I misunderstood. I thought you were going to run the HPS and MH alternatively, like the HPS 2 hours and the MH the next 2 hours. It is my understanding that turning the light on is harder on the bulb than leaving it going and the more often it is turned on and off the shorter the life. I have no evidence of this. I've only heard that is the case. Something worth at least looking into. |

Could the war in the Persian Gulf bankrupt National Public Radio? At $1,000 each for reporters' chemical warfare protection suits and $75 a minute in production costs, covering the conflict hasn't been cheap for any news operation. NPR has been spending $81,000 a week on coverage and whatever the course of events expectations are that the final bill will add at least 10 percent to its $14 million news budget. Moreover, unlike commercial broadcasters, the member-supported network can't just shrug and take a bite out of profits.
For the six weeks of coverage now ending, $300,000 from the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting, plus $100,000 from member station KCRW in Santa Monica, Calif., enabled NPR to extend its Morning Edition and All Things Considered news shows. To continue with seven full-time correspondents (including Scott Simon, Deborah Amos, Neal Conan, and Deborah Wang) in the region, the network is looking to its 41mber stations and their five million listeners to bridge the $1 million gap. Deficit spending scares NPR it was $7 million in debt in 1983 but its staff is again prepared to do without. Says news division chief William Buzenberg, ''We're experts at doing more on the cheap.''

Asian Traditions Meet Tomorrow
By: Bryan Durocher
Posted: June 26, 2008, from the July 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Soothing treatment and talented therapists help the Mandarin Spa at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong provide its guests with a unique, revitalizing spa experience each and every visit.
page 5 of 6
Recommended for muscular discomfort after long travel, as well as physical exertion and sprains, the Choorna Swedam features an herbal poultice bundle containing a blend of proprietary herbs. Two therapists work simultaneously, rubbing the body with ayurvedic oils, and the bundle is then used to release muscle tension with a pounding motion, encouraging the healing oils to penetrate more deeply into the skin. Oils are also placed on the seven charkas to aid balance and detoxification. I noticed immediately after the Choorna Swedam a skin irritation and rash that had been persisting on my shoulder completely disappeared.
Then, from the tradition of the Choorna Swedam, we switched gears into the completely modern modality of the Radiance Facial. Also ideal for travel-weary complexions, this rejuvenating treatment incorporates alpha hydroxy acids for a gentle peeling effect, and the exfoliant and other active ingredients decongest and balance uneven skin tone.
The therapists who worked with Coty and I were not only proficient in technique and service, they also provided us with in-depth education. They explained every step of each treatment—what it was, what it did and what we could expect to feel. This was especially welcomed by first-timer Coty, who was never left guessing on questions such as how long something would be left on the skin or whether or not a product should be stinging.
The education didn't stop there, either. The Mandarin Spa offers guests a wide variety of products for the body, face and home designed to "replicate the fabrics, scents, tastes and sounds of The Mandarin Spa and continue your personal journey to harmony in the privacy of your home." For the first time at a destination resort, my therapist did a brilliant job of educating me about the products used in my treatments. She explained why she used each one, how it benefited my skin and concluded by saying, "You can get these products downstairs to maintain the benefits of what we did today." In addition to the unparalleled luxury of the Mandarin Spa experience, we left feeling enlightened and equipped to continue the work—and pleasure—we had begun in this world-class facility.
Finally, there was a truly tangible takeaway worth mentioning here, as well: Upon checking out, each spa guest receives a Mandarin Spa amenity kit. The men's kit contains shaving cream, a shaving brush, toothpaste, a toothbrush and hand moisturizer, all in a beautiful pouch sporting the Mandarin logo—an affordable and highly effective way to brand your spa business.

The Mommy Files: Using Your Crockpot
As a kid, our crockpot was always out. It was like a staple fixture on our pink countertops.
As an adult, mine isn't always out, but I do use it quite frequently; and for more than cooking a roaster chicken and making soup stock.
If you don't own a crockpot, it's high time to buy one. They aren't expensive and you can make everything from oatmeal and casseroles to soap and crayons in them. And no, I'm not kidding.
Easily the best investment in my kitchen.
This article by Linda Larsen can get you started with your crockpot and even gives you tips on making your purchase. And through a Pinterest search for something totally unrelated, I came across Stephanie O'Dea's website called A Year of Slow Cooking where she's made just about everything imaginable using her trusty crockpot.
To find recipes, all you need to do is Google "crockpot recipes" or even visit your local bookstore where you'll find all kinds of books on the subject. The Fix-It and Forget-It series is probably the most well-known series out there, and they do have some excellent recipes. But don't be afraid to make alternative things (such as crayons) in your pot, too.
The added bonus of crockpot cooking? Most of what you make will also freeze well, meaning you can throw the leftovers in the freezer and have a meal already prepared for those nights when life is just too hectic to even consider whipping up some culinary concoction.
What's your favorite thing to make in your crockpot? At what point did you decide your crockpot was a worthy addition to your kitchen?

As July melts into August, one thing to be grateful for is a freshly-picked apples.
Although it's easy to think of Michigan when you think of apples, Northern Illinois is ripe with the fruit as well.
Many orchards offer pick-your-own and bags of apples, as well as apple-related treats (apple cider donuts, anyone?) Also, most orchards offer an array of apple varieties with different flavors, uses and ripening dates.
For example, the tart Granny Smiths will ripen in late October or early November — just in time for holiday baking. The sweeter gala and Honeycrisps will be ready in early to mid-September, which is perfect for back-to-school lunches and apples for the teachers.
Many orchards – like All Seasons Orchard in Woodstock, Jonamac Orchard in Malta and Kuipers Family Farm in Maple Park — have additional fall activities like corn mazes and hayrides that run during apple season as well. Some offer the dual experience of visiting both the pumpkin patch and the apple orchard in the same day.

Just one question... Are the future shows going to be longer?
Awesome show Lou! Will anyone be making a cameo in the Mongello household? :)
Checking it out.

Hi Lou, I've been a regular MT listener for over a year and despite it's demise I'm glad the two of you are still going to be doing shows. Also really happy you are continuing the 7 Wonders feature as I'm interested in what you have picked. You keep babbling and I'll keep listening - deal?
YAY Lou!! I was thrilled when my husband came home from work with his jump drive in hand...he always downloads the podcasts for me from his much faster work computer. I was so panicked that I'd have to go for a while without my Disney podcast fix. We need ya Lou! I am very excited about the new format and get wait to get into the "meat" of the shows. Your intro sounds great too. best of luck and you can count me in as aloyal listener right from day one!

We have 22' high ceilings so disbursement of heat isn't really a problem, but the mantle does deflect some heat. We tore the old tile off the fireplace surround, cut off the raised hearth and built a recessed area above the fireplace for the TV. Installed a 65" X 11" granite mantle. Used 2" hose to fish wiring through behind the fireplace. Then put in a marble hearth. Take a look.... Work In Progress: Completed: |

YU Alumni currently manages professional networking groups for alumni on Wall Street, in real estate, accounting, financial planning, and law. Next up: Startups!

Rate Dr. Robert A. Adami
Dr. Robert A. Adami's Ratings
I was a patient of Dr. Adami when he was with Gentle Dental in Pembroke Pines, FL. I had dental implants and I was assured by him that I had enough bone to keep my implants. This was not the case. I have lost both implants, spent thousands of dollars and now I am back to square one. Beware of this doctor!

I haven't smiled since the day Adami touched me. procedure - cosmetic veneers. Worst experience of my life, needless to say it did a lot of personal damage for me. Every morning i wake up and relive what he put me through. I want to find other people who have had bad experiences here. FYI - the review sites like google can be maniplulated by paid members.

Designer Dental has beautiful furniture and they give out very nice pens and lip balm. The problem is that it appears the dentists work on commission and that affects all their recommendations for dental care... No matter what work you may need on your mouth, it appears from my experience they will push more expessive and at times unnecessary procedures to meet their quotas. For instance when simple fillings may only be required as was my experience, they constantly pushed root canals, implants and the most costly dental procedures they can think of. Then they refused to do the fillings altogether when explained I didn't have the means to pay for the high-priced alternatives. Their only response was to offer me credit plans. Now once they realize they can't profit off you, at that point they get instantly turned off on you as a patient Also there are a lot of girls who work in the office and those who work at the bottom i.e. hygenists are very friendly.. But watch out for those managers.. God! They are Horrid, rude bullies who treat you like riff-raff once its decided your financial worth to them and the office is zero. If they can't do the big work on you, you have no value to them as a practice and the fake-friendly peels off like a veneer.. Would rate them zero stars if I could..

Our entire family(3 of us)were patients of Dr. Adami and his staff for the past 2 years. We orignally were impressed with his facility and the services his office offered. But as time went on we become suspect that the recommendations of the dentist in his office were not necessary and they were just trying to increase our bill since we had insurance coverage. The last time my 18 year old daughter went to his office for her 6 month cleaning and Xrays, she came home with a report that she had 5 cavities. This was 6 months after his office filled 4 cavities. I just could not believe my daughter was not taking care of her teeth to the extent that she had another 5 cavaties. We decided to get a 2nd opinion and took her xrays to another dentist. He determined she may have 1 cavitiy but not 5. And the 1 cavitiy looked was under the filling that Dr. Adami's office completed 6 months ago. To say the least, we will not be going back to his office again. Buyers beware!

Dr vitale is the worst dentist. He wanted 8k and never even looked in my mouth. You will pay for the 'spalike experience'. And what reputable dentist advertises for botox? I go to my licensed plastic surgeon for my botox...keep it real designer dental.

Do yourself a favor and stay away.. All decisions seem to be left to inexperienced staff. They are so money hungry that they have staff bring you bills while you are sitting in the chair. Also so overpriced it is a joke. The Drs there have no bedside manner especially Dr. Pike after extracting a tooth. Dr. Young as well. Its seems like Dr. Adami needs to really reconsider how he runs his practice. A friend had 12 veneers put on and they all broke out and what should have been right the first time turned into a nightmare. Go fond real dentists who are more concerned with treating you and treating you like a person.

This office charges way too much for fillings that may or may not need to be filled. It seems as though every time I go there, or anyone I know goes there they find work that needs to be done. After the doctor told me I needed close to $1000 in fillings I asked if she could point out which tooth she was referring to said 'i don't know' and made the dental assistant show me. Dr. Young needs some additional training on bedside manner.

I recently visited Designer Dental and had my teeth cleaned and ended up needing a Root Canal. I had been putting off the tooth pain for a while so this was no surprise. The dental assistant and dentist both explained to me what services they would suggest getting done immediately as well as the fees according to my insurance. They even showed me a video! I got to relax in a massage chair and listen to an iPod during the procedure which made for a much better experience than previous ones at other dental offices. To those who have had bad experiences, maybe you should give them another try. The staff was amazing as well as their hospitality. I don't understand how anyone would have something bad to say.

A simple root canal turned into a horrible experience. Rough filling left on my tooth; the crown fitted by a trainee; procedures taking much longer than promised because of inexperienced staff; tooth still painful, head and neck painful from mishandling during procedures, crown does not fit. At first glance the delray office is beautiful and the staff is helpful, but unfortunately it does not seem as if he knows what he is doing, and he leaves important work to trainees. Not sure what is going on here, but I wish I never came.

On first impression, I would have thought that this doctor was full capable, and totally trusted him with the care of my mouth!! Now, after 35+ visits on what was supposed to be a 10 visit fix, there is not a time that I eat something, where the fear of some other disaster ocurring in my mouth does not creep in!! This has been the most horrific, frustrating, and painfully ridiculous experience of my life!! Do your research and find a real doctor, or you'll just end up down the same road I'm on!!!

G.729 is a standard for Internet Protocol (IP) private branch exchange (PBX) vendors, as well as for the public switched telephone network (PSTN). G.729 digitizes analog voice signals producing output at 8 kilobits per second (Kbps) with 8:1 compression and employs an algorithm called conjugate-structure algebraic code-excited linear prediction (CS-ACELP).
IT Acronyms - A Quick Reference Guide
Download this free quick reference guide with over 3,000 IT acronyms; including a special section of the top 15 acronyms you need to know today.
G.729 has several extensions or annexes. The two most common are G.729A and G.729AB. In G.729A, input frames are 10 milliseconds (10 ms) in duration and generated frames contain 80 bits. The input and output contain 16-bit pulse-code modulation (PCM) samples converted from or to 8-Kbps compressed data. The total algorithmic delay is 15 ms. In G.729AB, the parameters are the same as in G.729A with the addition of voice activation detection (VAD) in which the effective signal bandwidth is reduced when there is no audio input. A technology known as comfort noise generation (CNG) produces a small amount of background pink noise during pauses in speech to avoid user distraction that can be caused by intervals of absolute silence.

Billy Reid Spring 2013 | Runway
Billy Reid Spring 2013
Billy Reid's Spring 2013 presentation Friday night lured showgoers with the promise of craft ales from Dogfish Head, but the crowd assembled stayed to watch the designer's muted take on Americana come down the runway.
As is always the case, Reid's main focus this season was on making sophisticated alternatives to traditional men's workwear. A gold cotton windbreaker was shown layered over a hand-tailored gray linen suit, while a tough lambskin jacket got paired with deep brown python penny loafers.
The women's side was infused with the same hardworking spirit but enjoyed its own touches of refinement. A beige suede duster floated over a simple white gauze dress, and suits in varying neutral shades were perfectly primed for the office. But a pair of silk dresses decorated with pale golden stripes were the height of the collection's easy elegance.

Anagoge - a Glossary of Meaning
Essential Truths
About the Conceptualist
Contact Us
Essential Truth applies equally to everyone, everything, everywhere. A stated Truth, however, is a generalized statement of facts about a situation or condition that interpret its underlying applicability to other environments or similar circumstances.
A stated Truth is often not actually true but rather an apparently fact-based conclusion about the nature or experience of reality, which may not reflect actuality on all levels of awareness. Many factors influence our perception of Truth: society, religion, cultures, corporations, the media, and institutions of all kinds, all prejudice our perspective.
To uncover Essential Truth, every statement must be examined to determine whether all facts have been considered equitably and applied to the condition or situation with an open mind. Prejudiced statements that emphasize only one aspect of a situation or condition are beliefs rather than Truth and must be tested.
The Ponderable Truths List below is presented in no particular order and continues to grow. Contemplate the sentence. Consider each Truth statement and ask Two Questions:
1) Is this actually True? 2) What does this mean to me?

The conflict in Syria
Sham II, named after ancient Syria, is built from the chassis of a car and touted by rebels as "100 percent made in Syria." It required a "month of work" for the design, assembly and development of the vehicle, says its designer Mahmud Abud from the Al-Ansar rebel brigade in the Aleppo region of northwest Syria. The fully-enclosed vehicle is made from light steel and has a lenght of four meters and a width of two meters, a remotely weapon station armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun is mounted on the top of the vehicle, which is controlled from inside the crew cabin with a joystick like the PS2 video game station. The metal walls are 2.5 centimetres thick and said to be able to resist up to 23 mm cannon fire. The vehicle, however, is not protected against RPG rocket-propelled grenade or tank fire.

Hi ya Mikieeeeee, an everyone, I have an been using the rapitest meter tester..i no others do i've read some posts on it..i'm wondering what are the good numbers for moisture,fert,light??thx inadvance |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use a moisture meter. I know others don't like them, but I've used one for about six years now. I measure in a couple of different spots. I start with 2 measurements, and if they are wildly different, then I measure a couple more times to get a better idea of what's really going on. It's time to water when the meter reads about a third of the way down from halfway. When it gets close to 0 is when the new growth starts to wilt. Just be sure to get it into the roots - don't slide it down the outside of the pot, even though that's way easier. |

Displacer, Buylady is currently using a 5-1-1 type mix, for which moisture meters are less effective/useful. I think a chopstick or a barbecue skewer in the mix will give a more useful moisture reading. As for the fertility readings...well, I'd rather just flush my containers and then add a |
Hi there both of you, i like using both really but i do the like the meter i just wondered what no's are normal for citrus i got a couple that are goin in the 7's...think i'm goin to have a LONG LONG winter..with my babies..what do you think the right no's are?? |

What did the instructions say? I have no idea which product you're using or any of the details. Josh |

Buylady: Hi..It is so good to see you again, well hear from you again! Did you have growing your trees this year? How did you like seeing them get better and better?:-) Here is some info that will help you.. Citrus trees like deep, infrequent watering so that the conditions move towards dryness and REMAIN ON THE DRY SIDE OF MOIST! I have a friend that says that once it gets to the"""" #3""", then you can water again...The key is to make sure that number comes back in less than a week...If not, your pots are holding way too much moisture, in your environment.. That is how some use this tool..But Buylady, you know that I do not use them anymore, since I never found them reliable and more so now that I use the mixes I use..My mixes are very porous and leaves lots of room for air exchange which is the reason why I now use wooden dowels..... Based on what you are growing in, I would skip the moisture meter all together and just stick with the dowel method..As long that stick feels moist if pressed up to your cheek or wrist, don't water until it comes out dry.. Take good care of your self:-))) Mike:-)))) |
Hi ALL, its rapitest 4 different things on the meter it measures,that is one of my problems of watering to much i no that but i thought the meter would help me more...flush them holy cow no way my puter room would be drowned LOL...i found one yellowish leaf that has brown spot on it and i scraped it off with finger nail oh lordie what is that an the solution is?? i think i got long hard winter coming on my babies looked so gr8 outside on the deck i think i could have left them out another week or so but i will next year...i try Mikeee hanging in there..thx...love this site...i'll try the dowel more |

Save yourself a world of hurt — back and shoulder hurt, I mean. Get yourself a cross-body bag.
These smallish purses that you drape across your body have a lot going for them. For one thing, they're generally cheaper than their full-size counterparts. Love that! And in a crowd, you'll like the cross-body because it's more secure than clutches, hand or shoulder bags, all of which are more susceptible to the grab-and-go purse snatcher.
But the best feature is that they force us to cut back on the huge quantity of stuff we don't need but carry around all day. These bags require you to pare down to your essentials: money, credit cards, driver's license, lipstick and phone. See what I mean about reducing back pain?
Hey, I'm guilty, too. I could use someone with the strength of a longshoreman to carry all three bags I bring to the office every day. That's the main reason I'm now using a cross-body bag myself.
For short trips, I just sling on my small bag and head off. I feel liberated! You will too.
Before you buy:
Try it out at the store. Pare down to the essentials and see if you can fit them all in the purse.
Too many pockets and zippers can lead to confusion, not organization.
Be certain the closure is secure and will survive lots of use.
The strap should allow the purse to fall at the hip (Is it adjustable, knot-able, etc.?).
Consider versatility. A removable or tuck-away strap converts it to a clutch.

Boot Camp Digital class teaches how to build brand through social media
CINCINNATI - Still don't know the difference between a "hashtag" or @ symbol on social media? There's a place where you can learn the drill around town.
Krista Neher, offers online training and social media lunch sessions at her Boot Camp Digital office.
"What our goal is here is to really help people understand how to use best practices so they're not just on Facebook, but they're growing their business with Facebook," said Neher.
Rob McCracken says Neher has helped him with branding his own social media company 2060 Digital.
"She really takes it a step back to say you just don't want to do social media. You need to determine what your end goal is. What you're trying to accomplish," said McCracken.
Rebecca Strayer from American Modern Insurance attended the lunch session titled "Creating Killer Content: Breaking Through the Clutter in the Social Media Age."
"She has so much knowledge and wisdom about what the good things are about social media and how to really maximize what's out there and to help grow your own business," Strayer said.
Neher says the lunch sessions, which run an hour and a half, always sell out.
"The lunches are a good way for us to do good education content, but it's really quick," Neher explained.
Neher's classes cover topics from social media 101, internet marketing to more complex classes for corporations looking to grow their brand on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.

Bengals fans will have a chance to meet the choreographer of the famous Ickey Shuffle.
We wanted to know how formal Bengal player Ickey Woods came up with the moves for the Ickey Shuffle.
"I was playing music and we were up and I was acting silly. I was like mom if I score tomorrow this is what I'm going to do and she was like boy you better not do that. And I was like I got to mom," said Woods.
Woods said he fine-tuned his moves over the next week before unveiling them at the next game.
Woods will take part in a meet and greet event at two Cincinnati Kroger stores as part of Black History Month celebrations.
"They're asking me to do the Ickey shuffle. We're taking pictures. They have information about Black History month,"said Woods.
Woods will be at the Spring Grove Kenard Avenue Kroger between 3 and 4 p.m. and the Newport Marketplace location between 5 and 6 p.m. Thursday, February 21.
