Designed by architects NBBJ, construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion anticipated by late 2008. The new Innovation Centre will provide a state-of-the-art facility comprising approximately 40,000 square feet of laboratories and offices designed specifically for high technology companies operating in the Life Sciences sector. The Innovation Centre will attract start-up companies from Queen Mary as well as independent companies from further afield. The Centre also anticipates supporting an additional 60-80 jobs in services in the local community, for example from minicab services and printing shops, to café bars and restaurants. The location is in an area of east London that is developing into a 'Life Sciences cluster', centred around Queen Mary's Medical School and the Royal London Hospital. This network of world class clinical, teaching and research resources offers exciting benefits for both healthcare research and the development/ regeneration of the area.

In addition to gardening, music is a hobby of mine. I am going to be making some instruments with my nephews from bamboo. I need some seasoned (dry) stalks with about one inch diameter hollow in the center. Thinner wall are better. I grow mostly succulents I have :
I also have
I would also trade for green polls, but seasoned would be best as my nephews are eager to get started. Thanks

planted bush beans (provider snap variety from seeds of change) on 4/20. everything germinated well....looked to be going good and now they are falling over. looks like their stem becomes pinched (for lack of a better word) then they just topple over and die. all that i've lost were growing true leaves, not just the seed leaves. what's happening?? can i stop it?? thanks!!

There could be several causes, but none that I know cures for once they occur. I have several places where Phytophthora gives me a fit so I would suspect it |
Here is a link that might be useful: Phytophyhora
This might sound dumb LOL but what if you put some extra soil around them? I had a few cucumbers that started to do that. I added soil around them up to the point of just the leaves sticking out above the soil and they took off and are doing great. For me it was almost as if they weren't planted deep enough or something (even though they were initially?) Good luck! |
I'm assuming these were direct seeded and not started indoors? It sounds a lot like damping off to me, but I've never heard of it affecting beans before. |

Head west on Interstate 88 outside of Chicago for around 50 minutes and you'll run into the charming city of Aurora, known by many residents here as the "City of Lights." Aurora's great location, proximity to numerous business opportunities and low cost of living (compared with other areas in Chicagoland) make it an ideal suburb. With its four historic districts, numerous shopping opportunities, excellent schools and a growing population, there are plenty of reasons to rent apartments in Aurora Illinois. According to the U.S. Census, the population is estimated to be just under 200,000, making it a small city within a large metropolitan area.
Many people are very eager to move into apartments in Aurora IL, and the cost of living has a lot to do with it. Despite being within close proximity to Chicago, the cost of living in Aurora is very similar to the national average - only 3 percent higher - making it a very affordable place to raise a family. You can expect to rent studio or one bedroom apartments in Aurora Illinois for anywhere between $600 and $1000 a month. Price rises depending on location, amount of space, and amenities.
There are many reasons why people are excited to live in Aurora. One of the best things residents can look forward to here is being close to RiverEdge Park. Located along the Fox River, this beautiful green space is very popular with area residents. If that isn't enough Aurora is also situated near four forest preserves, giving you plenty of outdoor recreation if you decide to move here. The city also provides a variety of community events for people living in apartments in Aurora IL, including Downtown Alive! and Blues on the Park - both great music festivals that happen every summer.

Hiring in Today's Job Market
Article by Evan Gordon, Regional Director in Workbridge Philadelphia
Are you a technology manager in need of new talent to join your team? If so, the market may be a little different since the last time you hired. As someone who has been in the recruiting industry for over a decade, it is obvious when the pendulum swings from a client to a candidate's market, and for those that have hired this year it is ever so clear; good candidates are hard to find and even harder to land. Below are a few points aimed at capturing talent in a very competitive job market.
Move Quick
Good candidates come on the market quick and jump off the market even quicker. The key to landing talent in this market is to condense lengthy interview processes and strike quick. The interview process from first interview to offer should wrap up in a week or 2 max, with an interview process consisting of 2, MAYBE 3 interviews. Do what you can to maximize a candidates visit and allow them to meet as many people in one shot as possible. Especially as the best candidates are typically employed, making it hard to schedule multiple rounds of interviews.
Be Open Minded
In the search for the "perfect" candidate, it is easy to be nearsighted and miss out on hiring candidates who may not have all the skills listed on the job description, but have both drive and desire. A bright, more junior candidate will often times outshine a more experienced candidate because they have something to prove and appreciate the opportunity. Don't undervalue desire in favor of current skills.
Sell Them on Your Job
Remember, an interview is a two way street: it's a chance for the candidate to sell you on them but also a chance for you to sell the candidate on the opportunity at hand. Make sure to get them excited about the technology, projects, opportunity and the company as a whole. It is your job as a hiring manager to get candidates excited to work for you.
Give Them a Chance to Speak
One of the most underrated parts of an interview is asking the candidate if THEY have any questions for you. This is a window into how they think and an opportunity for them to ask about upcoming projects, technology initiatives and clear up any lingering questions they might have. It is also a way to test how prepared the candidate is. If they don't have any questions prepared or simply ask about benefits, work from home, perks, etc... I recommend continuing the search.
All in all, the market has picked up considerably which is great news for the economy. With that being said, capturing talent is a about supply and demand. The demand increases as business expand and hiring increases but the supply of candidates remains mostly flat. Therefore, make an effort to capture talent before your competitors do.
How to Make the Most of Your Job Search
Article by Marialice Carter, Lead Recruiter in Workbridge Philadelphia
As Crystal previously mentioned, one of the most important things a job-seeker can do to enhance their search is create a digital presence. I'd like to add a few additional tips that will help get the most out of your job hunt.
When you make the important decision to start your search, you can help yourself by taking care of a few things ahead of time.
Interview Attire
What's appropriate here will have a lot to do with what your skill set is and where you are interviewing. A good rule of thumb is to have an interview suit ready to go. It's probably been a while since you've had to wear it, so try it on, make sure it's clean, fits well, and makes you feel like a million bucks. If you have a couple of different shirts/ties/necklaces/accessories options, you can get away with wearing the same suit to multiple interviews. First impressions go a long way. You'll want to do the same with a business casual or fully-casual outfit. Even in a jeans-and-t-shirt environment, you need to look put together - no wrinkles or stains. And don't forget to get the right footwear. No sneakers with your suit.
When in doubt about the dress code, ask your recruiter. Once you put the word out that you are looking for a new position, you should be prepared to have interviews lined up right away. You don't want to turn something down because you have nothing to wear! In addition to clothing, now is also the time to make an appointment for a haircut or any other grooming that's important to you.
Resume Preparation
It's time to dust off the old resume file and update it with details about your current position. Also, take a look to see if the formatting needs to be updated. If your resume is saved in Comic Sans, you'll want to rejuvenate that. Do you have your summer jobs from college listed? Chances are, if you are trying to take a step forward in your career as a UI Engineer, you don't need to tell the world that you were a Subway Sandwich Artist. (Unless you are applying for a UI role at Subway- there's always an exception) Do take a minute to add on anything interesting about yourself; you want to highlight your professional experience but also make yourself seem human.
You'd be surprised by the out of date contact information recruiters see on a daily basis. Is your address correct? Location, location, location! It's often important for hiring managers to know that you live close by. Is your phone number current? Does it have a reasonably professional message and/or ring back tone? Are you using an AOL or Hotmail email address? Think about getting something a little more current. Even my mom would tell you that having an AOL account is like having a rotary phone.
Internet Presence
Your LinkedIn page should be current, and Facebook accounts should either be scrutinized for professionalism or privatized. Same goes for Twitter. If you have a website, make sure it's something you're proud of, especially if you're a Web Developer or a Designer, or a UI or UX Engineer. As Crystal suggested - if you are interviewing for positions in the Open Source community, then get on GitHub - that's just plain smart.
Think Ahead
Think about when you can actually interview and what's important to you in your next position ahead of time. Scheduling can be one of the biggest headaches for job seekers and interviewers alike. Alleviate this stress by coming up with some scenarios that will work for you. Do you have any PTO, flex time, or work from home days? If a company will meet you after hours will you be able to make it? Do you have any evening obligations? When an opportunity comes along, you won't have a lot of time to schedule the interview, so making the time will often have to happen in 24-72 hours.
Finally, when you get to the interview, are you ready to answer the questions that will come your way? There's no doubt that you know your craft in-and-out and can answer the technical questions easily, but are you prepared to answer the other questions about why you are looking, what you want next, why you've left positions in the past, and what kind of compensation you'd like? If not, talk these things through with your recruiter, that's what we're here for!
To conclude, get your house in order ahead of time. It will keep your stress level down and make the whole process go by smoothly. When you're prepared and feel good about yourself it shows. Bring that confidence and energy into your interview. If a manager is already excited by what they see on your resume and what they can find on Google, you'll settle into your new position in no time.
Tread Lightly When Discussing Reasons for Leaving Your Job
By Evan Gordon, Regional Director of Workbridge Philadelphia
In today's market, some candidates have trouble explaining the reason they left their last position in a way that doesn't set off red flags with their perspective employer. During the course of my career I have heard a multitude of reasons, because candidates often feel more comfortable being "blunt" with a recruiter. However, it is important to realize that a hiring manager or human resources professional will often use these facts to decide whether or not to move forward with a candidate. It is important to be honest, but remember to try and look for the positives when explaining why you are looking, or have left positions in the past.
Let's look at a few common reasons for leaving a job:
- Career Growth
- Commute
- Technology
- Compensation
- Issues with coworkers/manager
Keep in mind that inherently, these may all be valid motives for looking for a new position. And quite frankly, the people you are interviewing with have probably left occupations in the past for some, or all, of the same concerns. A phrase I learned years ago applies here, "it's not always what you say but how you say it." The way that a job seeker describes the situation which is causing, or has caused them to look for work is usually more of a red flag than the actual issue.
It is important, when explaining the above, to remain upbeat and go into as much detail as possible. For example, if your main motivation for looking for a new position is due to your career hitting a wall, explain this by going into specifics, instead of just saying "I am looking for a better opportunity." Instead, illustrate why you feel you stagnant, and how this new position will offer the possibility for career growth that is lacking in your current role.
Also, remember to be conscientious about what you say. Your explanation can be interpreted incorrectly and you don't want your new employer to think you will be quick to jump ship, which will most likely result in no job offer. Perception is reality, and the reality is how you explain your reason for leaving a position is usually a major factor in screening out potential candidates.
The best thing to do, when preparing for an interview, is to plan exactly what you want to say, and the desired perception. Once you have that down, do a dry run with a friend that you trust, and get their feedback. If your friend comes up with any questions, be sure to practice addressing the various concerns, and edit your explanation, if need be. This is a situation where the old idiom, "practice makes perfect" really applies. You don't want to sound rehearsed, but going in prepared will make you more comfortable and confident. That will be sure to give you a leg up on your "looking for a better opportunity" competitors.
Happy Clients and Job Seekers at Workbridge Philadelphia!
We at Workbridge Philadelphia could not be more happy for one of our .NET recruiters- Joe!
Joe worked tirelessly to find the perfect job seeker for a great client, and we're happy to report that of his effort paid off!
Joe hard at work!Sometimes when recruiters are asked to find a specific job seeker for a client, they have a feeling that it will be an easy match to make. Sometimes, they get the feeling that it will be exactly the opposite. This was a case of the latter. When Joe got the requirements for his client's new position, he knew it was going to be tough one to fill, but he was determined to succeed.
Joe's client is one of the .NET team's favorite people to work with. The last time he was in the market for a new job, we were actually able to place him in an awesome management-level position. He's a great guy, and a pleasure to have in the office. He definitely has strict requirements for job seekers he is looking to hire at his own company, but we appreciate the passion and always enjoy a challenge!
This time around, he was looking for a brand new Senior Software Engineer. His company is UK-based, and was looking to make a big move to the states. This was a major hire for them, and the to-be-determinded job seeker was going to have a lot of impact and visibility.
It ended up being an involved process, with lots of nearly-perfect job seekers, but Joe persisted. He ended up finding the perfect person for the job! When we say he worked tirelessly, we mean it. He tried anything he could think of to find the right job seeker- and it paid off!
We hear that everything is working out great- for the job seeker, the client, and the company. We could not be more excited for everyone, and more proud of Joe.
If you would like to speak with Joe, please give him a call at 215-209-0100, or shoot him an email at email@example.com
Two Positions Filled by Jonelle at Workbridge Philadelphia!
We here at Workbridge Philadelphia are all incredibly proud of Jonelle, who was able to speedily fill two positions - all during the bustle of the holiday season!
Jonelle recently reached out to a new company in Delaware, who was looking for both a QA Analyst and a Senior Systems Engineer. They had been having trouble finding qualified applicants and were thankful for the help.
Jonelle was able to set up talented job seekers to interview for those positions. Our client loved the people Jonelle scheduled to interview with them and they found the perfect applicants to fill the available positions.
We were all overjoyed to be able to find not one, but two, people that the company was happy with! Jonelle was especially happy, "it made my holiday break even more rewarding!"
Congratulations to both people on their new job, and great job Jonelle!
Another Happy Job Seeker at Workbridge Philadelphia!
Eric (seen below) is a job seeker recently placed by Marialice at Workbridge Philadelphia.
Eric had worked in the IT field years ago, but eventually became burned out and decided to make a major life change, becoming a tattoo artist. (Talk about a career transition!)
Recently, he'd been considering getting back into the programming world, and figured the best way to do that would be to teach himself one of the newest programming languages. So that's what he did! He taught himself Ruby, contacted Workbridge, and the rest is history.
Marialice set him up on an interview with a great company, he killed it, and they offered him an awesome position a few days later.
We couldn't be happier for him!
Workbridge Philadelphia Lends a Helping Hand to Habitat for Humanity!
We over at Workbridge Philadelphia were super excited to spend an afternoon volunteering our time at our local Habitat for Humanity Restore last week!
If you haven't been to a ReStore, it's a Goodwill-esque system; people drop off unused furniture, homegoods, and also things like kitchen cabinets and appliances, the ReStore resells them at a great price, and then the proceeds are used to build more homes for families in need.
It's a wonderful organization, and we were pumped to be able to help them out in any way.
It was also really fun! Check us out having an awesome time in the pictures below.
Recruiters Joe, David and Ryan wrapping up glass doors Taylor and Sarah cleaning newly-donated kitchen cabinets Regional Director Evan working really hard to reattach cabinet doors Kate disinfecting and vacuuming a huge couch that was just dropped off (She genuinely LOVED her job) We spent a lot of the day cleaning... And moving furniture... And moving some more... Which produced lots of dirty hands.But we had a WONDERFUL time!
The Workbridge crew with Javier- our ReStore ambassador!Everyone at the ReStore was absolutely wonderful- including, of course, our buddy Javier. They were so helpful and appreciative of us coming. It was an amazing experience that we hope to repeat.
If you're in the Philadelphia area, please visit (or volunteer with!) the ReStore! They are located in Kensington at 2930 Jasper Street, Philadelphia PA 19134, and open Wednesdays - Saturdays, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Philadelphia's Tech in Motion Mixer and Can Drive Recap!
We recently planned an awesome tech mixer/can drive for our Tech in Motion event series.
With the holidays coming up, we wanted to do something fun and casual- with a little help for the community thrown in for good measure.
This was our first tech mixer, so we were a little nervous about how it would turn out, but it ended up being a smashing success!
All ready for the event to start!
Recruiters Jonelle and Kate manning the sign-in table and showing off our first donations!
The mixer was held at Ladder 15, a bar and restaurant just around the corner from the Workbridge Philadelphia office. They hooked us up with the most amazing food. I'm surprised I was able to snap a picture before it was all gone!
Networking Techies! Nothing makes us happier!
Our donation haul once we brought it back to the office- Not too shabby!
We hope to do many more tech mixers and events in the upcoming year. Hopefully they'll all be as great as this one.
If you're in the Philadelphia area, and are interested in coming to the next event, please join our Meetup group! http://www.meetup.com/TechinMotionPhilly We'd love to have you!

The Left mocked NRA president Wayne LaPierre call for armed police officers in schools, but the Left's patron saint, Bill Clinton called for the exact same thing in 2000!
Balogna Bill. You ask for 60 million but we all know it's going to cost 10 times that. once you get it in and the price tag hits then you say, "Well aren't our children worth it????" Train, arm and issue teachers the concealed weapons permit. You would be surprised by how many Annie Oakley's are out there that would leap at the chance to pack a heater in school as they would not only protect students but also could be protected "from" school bullies too!

With paid seats at more than 150,000 businesses — including 92% of the Fortune 500 — Box has made serious inroads into the enterprise. In part, that's by working to support every device and platform out there. During his keynote interview at the first TabTimes TABLET STRATEGY West conference in San Francisco, Chris Yeh, VP of platforms at Box, said that the service works on every platform.
"We will be everywhere natively that we can until someone shows us that HTML5 is the way to go."
Much enterprise adoption of Box is from the ground up: One user shares a file with another user, who also signs up. Or a small department might start using Box for free.
"That's often the way we can get into bigger accounts," said Yeh. The company tracks users at each company. "Once we get a critical mass, our guys will go in and have a conversation about using it in the enterprise."
Approximately 50% of access to Box comes from a mobile device, and the vast majority is the Android operating systems in various forms, Yeh said. However, the picture is different when it comes to license in the enterprise, where 90% is iOS — and almost all of that is access comes via iPad.
Box went live on Windows 8 when it launched in December, and it had very strong take-up. Installs on Windows 8 remain close to new installs on iOS, but Yeh thinks that is because Box was featured on the Windows 8 tablet. He expects Windows 8 installs to stall but did however note that there are enterprises considering bringing Windows tablets in en masse.
Partners and indie developers have created some interesting use cases that Box execs might never have thought of, according to Yeh, and deployed them on unexpected platforms. For example, Box provides a native app for the defunct RIM PlayBook that's used by the National Hockey League Players Association. The players use their PlayBooks to shoot video and photos in the field, then upload them to Box with one click so they can be worked on by professional editors.
"These native use cases are really hard to stop serving. It's a struggle," said Yeh.
With the company's ability to develop for new platforms maxxed out, it's focusing on working with third-party app developers to link into Box. "One of the most important things when we get onto a platform is to spread out into the ecosystem and start working with people," said the Box VP.
Yeh said Box will white-label cloud storage for third-party apps, as well as deploy services and accounts. Partners may also be featured in Box marketing. He admitted, however, that its app distribution channel is only decent.
"Our mission this year is to make that work better. We need to take an app developer and bring them to the customer base in a form where they can make real money."
The next Tablet Strategy conference is April 30 in New York.

I miss this scent . It smelled good, and it was refreshing to use after running in the summer time .
I don't recommend this body wash. It doesn't smell that great, isn't particularly moisturizing, and irritates my skin - especially around the girly bits.
This body wash is a very moisturizing cream that produces average lather. The scent is very fresh, and lingers on the skin. The price is great for the size (24 ounces), and one bottle lasts for months. It's not my favorite body wash, but it's definitely a good one.
I love this product! I'm a fan of Dove products in general but I especially love this because it leaves my skin really soft and the I find the fragrance fascinating, very fresh. This fragrance is my favourite from the Fresh collection. It doesn't lather a lot but I apply it to a loofah and then rub it with my hands to produce some lather and then I wash my body. After Satsuma shower gel from TBS this is definitely my second favourite shower gel.
I really like this. It tingles, and I like that. The scent is amazing, too. I haven't tried it 'down south' because I use a buff puff, and that seems scary to me. Dove products have gotten better in the past couple of years, and I will definately buy this again.
I love the scent of this....but I was shocked when I first used it in the shower this morning and felt like Vick's Vapo Rub had been applied somewhere that it shouldn't go... :) Sorry for tmi, but that is the only reason I will be returning this product. Kind of felt like it was burning. Felt good everywhere else though!
I loved the smell. But, as another reviewer said, it left me WAY TOO TINGLY in a certain area, almost burned.
my sister bought this and hated it, stating how it made her too tingly in a certain area. so she passed it on me to and i love it! it smells great and does a good "cleansing" job. it does make me feel tingly, and i mean everywhere... would definitely buy this

Creek Burial Customs
The Creeks had burial customs resembling those of the Chickasaw, and, in some instances, deposited the remains of their dead beneath the floors of their habitations. To quote from Bartram: " The Muscogulges bury their deceased in the earth. They dig a four-square deep pit under the cabin or couch which the deceased lay on,

Ugly Goat Milk Company farm tour: healthy boobies, raw milk and plenty of cavorting
There's a whole lot of spring "cavorting" going on at Ugly Goat Milk Company's farm. And that means plenty of milk, butter, cheese and good times for both the animals and humans.J. Wohletz One of the many cavorting goats at Ugly Goat Milk Company's farm.
Karin and Rob Lawler, owners of The Truffle, arranged a Memorial Day weekend "Get-a-Whey" trip from the cheese shop in Denver to the Ugly Goat Milk Company's farm in Parker via posh tour bus, and fifty guests were treated to a meet-and-greet with farm owner Mike Amen, his ranch foreman -- and "sanity manager" -- Frank Ugolini, and all the cows, goats, sheep, geese, ducks and chickens living on the forty-acre dairy farm.J. Wohletz The hills are alive with the sounds of cavorting.
And, of course, there were samples of fresh goat and cow's milk, fresh butter and cheese, and a gourmet lunch perfect for a day out in the country.
I crawled my reluctant ass out of bed at 7:30 a.m. in order to make the bus pickup at the cheese shop at 8:45 a.m. I was thinking that in farm time, this was probably about midday.
The Lawlers know how to tour in style: The bus was posh with huge, comfy seats, very effective air conditioning, a bathroom and drop-down screens that played The Cheese Nun , a fairly new documentary about a Benedictine nun learning to make artisan cheese by hand, and the hour trip out to Parker seemed much shorter with that (I now understand why parents love SUVs with DVD players in them).
The Ugly Goat Milk Company farm is at 1701 Hidden Acres Place in Parker, and it has a shareholder arrangement by which a $40 buy-in gets you access to raw goat and cow's milk, butter and cheeses like chevre, feta, ricottas, mozzarella and -- in the future -- cheddar. The farm also produces fresh eggs, which we urbanite foodies value somewhere between gold and platinum.J. Wohletz (L to R) Frank Ugolini, Mike Amen and Karin Lawler.
The farm is gorgeous -- rolling hills, green grass, friendly, fluffy animals, and a barn so clean I searched all day for barn-elves. Mike talked for a bit about how he got started in the dairy-farming business -- apparently he found two goats on Craigslist, then a cow named "Truffle" who needed a good home, and started his farm on a five-acre plot in Elizabeth, before relocating four months ago to the more spacious farm in Parker.
Since then he's either acquired or facilitated the birthing of a modest Noah's Ark of plump, happy critters, including a couple of sweet, placid Jersey milk cows named Violette and Honey; a handful of newly shorn rescue sheep that eat animal crackers; Nubian, Alpine, Sable and Saanen goats; a few misanthropic geese and laid-back ducks, chickens, complete with baby chicks for everyone to fawn over; and a female barn cat named Roxy with advanced people skills.

The motivation for my research is to understand the chemical and dynamical factors that determine changes in atmospheric composition. These are fascinating as scientific problems in their own right and are also important for global environmental issues such as stratospheric ozone depletion and climate change. In the past, scientists have concentrated on relatively short term chemical processes (seconds to weeks); it is now important than ever to understand how atmospheric composition is influenced by longer-term processes (weeks to years).
A wealth of measurements exists that has been collected in global monitoring networks, during focussed field campaigns and by satellite instruments. Great opportunities exist to exploit these data to understand a range of atmospheric problems. My approach is to analyse and interpret the available measurements, collaborating closely with the atmospheric modelling (Prof. Pyle) and measurement (Prof. Jones and Dr Kalberer) groups in the Chemistry Department. Given the global nature of the problems considered, international collaborations are important components of the work. Topics are being studied include:
- Stratospheric ozone depletion over northern mid-latitudes. Quantifying past ozone loss and particularly the relative importance of chemical depletion and dynamical influences is essential to understanding how stratospheric ozone will change in future;
- Winter-time chemical ozone loss over the Arctic. This is a major factor influencing ozone over mid-latitudes and varies greatly, with much greater losses in cold winters. Since the cold Arctic winters are getting colder, it is important to understand its relation to climate change;
- Transport of chemical species in the Tropics. The bulk of air entering the stratosphere does so in the Tropics. There are large natural (terrestrial and oceanic) and anthropogenic sources of trace chemicals into the Tropical atmosphere whose influence is not well known.
In addition to interpreting existing observations, I have a small group developing and constructing instruments capable of running autonomously in order to make observations for months and years at a time. These custom-built instruments will be used to make measurements of short-lived halocarbons and hydrocarbons at sites in the West Pacific (Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand) as well as on commercial container ships. There are very few measurements in these places and these instruments will operate for months and years. The observations are thus valuable in their own right, and are being used to estimate emissions of these compounds, which are important for ozone in the stratosphere and troposphere and possibly for particle formation over the remote oceans.

There is nothing in Hollywood, save for marrying Tom Cruise, that will boost your career more than winning an Academy Award.
That bald gold man ensures "Academy-Award Winning" is attached to your person for perpetuity in movie trailers, on posters, in commercials for probiotic yogurt and most importantly, in contracts—promising at least a 20% increase in your asking price for all future gigs.
Why then, would a young, up-and-coming starlet (let's call her Anne Hathaway) want to lose out on this embarrassment of riches? Perhaps to save her relationship. Keep reading »

Is Bloody Mary real or fake? So many people have tried it at their home; some can swear that the ghosts of Mary have visited them and stroke horror in their hearts. Others claim that it is just a hoax or a myth. So how can we know – Is Bloody Mary real or fake?
There are some skeptics that say no to the question is Bloody Mary real or fake? It is probably very common sense that you can not summon a specific ghost which is very popular. Think of it as if thousands of people are summon her spirit at midnight, she can not visit each one of them at the same time. So it doesn't work every time, only few can do it. It also depends on how you are doing this ritual and if you have a specific interest thing to offer or to attract the spirit of bloody Mary. The ghosts don't sit at hell and just waiting for you to call them. They need to have a good reason to cross between the worlds. Usually it as related to unclosed issued they had in their last past life time.
Those who says yes to the question is Bloody Mary real or fake? Have often found themselves summoning another spirit instead which had the same footprints of bloody Mary. You see the story of her loosing her baby or as it described in other legend that she couldn't even have a baby, is not unique. People are dealing this issue every day. So it is possible to attract other ghosts who have unsolved issue here on earth. It can also attract the souls of unborn babies. Sometimes it happen because of a tragic accident but other times it is because these spirits were punished for their bad deeds and were not allowed entering our world. So the only way they can have a little time here is by appearing when you are summoning Bloody Mary.
There are many psychic ways that you can attract the spirit of Bloody Mary and find out on your own way the answer to the question: is Bloody Mary real or fake? The most popular way is to go to your bathroom exactly at midnight and stand in front of the mirror. Make the room dark and light only a small candle. Then say her name: "Bloody Mary" seven times. If the magical ritual works as expected then you will see in the mirror a reflection of her face. You will also feel coldness around you which will probably shut the candle light. After you will run away from the room with your fear you will start to realize that your face is corrupted with little scratches and rivers of blood. The legend says that most of those who tried to find out is Bloody Mary real or fake? Found that she is real but it was too late because now they are also dead.
Sometimes we are very curious about some psychic mystery thing but when things are going worse and we are going to find ourselves haunted by a scary ghost, will not care anymore about is Bloody Mary real or fake? We will just want to move away or get our old life again. But it might be too late. There are two kinds of lost souls – those who will try to help you from doing the mistakes they did and those who will deceive you and drag you to hell in the same way they have been fooled.

Organophosphate Pesticides
Environment Food and Rural Affairs
Mr Hugh Robertson (Faversham and Mid Kent, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what economic assessment has been made of the cost of banning Thinsec (Carbaryl) for the top fruit industry.
Mr Elliot Morley (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Scunthorpe, Labour)
holding answer
Pesticide products containing carbaryl have been reviewed as part of the general review in the UK of all organophosphate pesticides. The main purpose of the review is to address public concerns about the potential toxicity of these chemicals and economic impact is not an overriding consideration where safety is concerned. However, the loss of some compounds may have an economic impact on particular sectors of industry. The decision to revoke a particular compound is not taken lightly. It may be revoked because serious safety concerns remain following the evaluation of data submitted in support of the compound or because there was insufficient data submitted for an adequate evaluation of the data to be made. The loss of carbaryl stems from a commercial decision by the approval holder not to support the compound under the UK review.

Nevada County, CA: Deputies in Nevada County, Calif., arrested Mulligan on Friday after she allegedly tried to arrange a drug deal with a friend through a text for fentanyl, an opiate similar to morphine.
The message was actually sent to a narcotics detective who decided to take her up on the offer and arranged a meeting, according to 14NewsOnline.com.
She was arrested and charged with three felony counts, according to Nevada County Sheriff's Dept. spokesman Lt. Steven Tripp.
I bet she's president of the PTA at the school were her kid is an Honor Student……yeah, right…….
Why would she have the cell number to a narcotics detective anyways?
Talk about a dum crakkka
you crakkkas are nasty ass drug usin pink monkeys
So, you think she asked "My bad, can I have a mulligan?"
See what drugs can do to a person? She looks like she was once an attractive woman.

Gear Guide 2014: Alpine
Rock, ice, or snow, these 12 tester-approved toys will get you to the top.
Rock, ice, or snow, these 12 tester-approved toys will get you to the top.
From cams to carabiners to shoes, here are 18 of the best new products for plug-and-chuggers.
Innovative, smart, lust-worthy, and just plain cool: 10 new must-have products that topped our testers' lists.
The climbing rope is a unifying piece of gear. Primarily, it connects a climber to his belayer, but every tribe member who wants to get higher than 15 feet off the ground ties into one, whether he's toproping or big walling. (The Honnolds and Crofts of the world don't count!) However, a toproper and a big waller will be looking for two very different cords. Our testing crew visited nearby Colorado areas, Ten Sleep, Wyoming, half a dozen Utah crags, and California's High Sierra to find the five best single ropes on sport, trad, and alpine routes.
The Haku makes transporting and flaking a breeze, with this bag, bucket, and tarp in one ultra-portable package. When you're done climbing, flake your rope onto the 4'x4' tarp, grab the corners and give a shake, and the cord will disappear into an attached nylon bucket (that lies flat when not in use).
Slated for a fall 2013 U.S. debut, these ropes sold out so fast in Europe that Edelrid couldn't meet demands for both the U.S. and all of Europe—and that should tell you something. The Snipe is a 9.8mm rope that increases to 10mm for six meters at each end and in the middle using Edelrid's EnduroTech technology.
The brunt of a rope's strength comes from the core, and while the sheath doesn't add significant strength, it does protect the core from damage. A sliced sheath will quickly unravel, exposing several feet of core, making the rope unusable. Solution? Beal introduced Unicore technology last year in two ropes; this bonds the core to the sheath via a thin, lightweight filament that's woven between the two.
This cord quickly became the top choice among our sport climbing testers thanks to its supple feel, easy handling, thin diameter, and kink-free performance. "We've had this line for about seven months, and it permanently stays in the rope bag as our go-to cord," said one testing duo. "It hasn't kinked once on 100+ pitches, and it clips like a dream."
Although the average diameter of most ropes is getting smaller, the standard length is growing, and Metolius has responded by making their tried-and-true rope bag in a "high capacity" version. For day trips to Clear Creek Canyon and weekend trips to Shelf Road, both in Colorado, the bag easily fit an 80-meter rope and full rack of 15 quickdraws.
The climbing rope is the centerpiece of your safety system. Unless you're bouldering, it's your most critical climbing equipment. You may buy a one-size-fits-all rope, or build a quiver of ropes that suit each type of climbing you do. Modern nylon climbing ropes use a kernmantle design, meaning they have a thick "kern," or core, providing most of the strength, plus a thin "mantle," or sheath, to protect the core. Extensive twisting of the core yarns gives a rope most of its stretchiness and energy-absorbing capabilities.
New England Ropes/Maxim Airliner 9.1: Easy clipping and complete smoothness out of the gate made this Maxim rope an absolute favorite for the serious sport climbers in our test squad. Knots were easy to tie and untie, and initial kinks were kept to a minimum. The 9.1mm diameter is absolutely perfect for redpointing—thick enough to stand some abrasion and big whips, but thin enough (61 g/m, or less than 9.5 lbs for a 70m rope) to feel like there's practically nothing there.

This is my first year planting tulips so I'm pretty naďve as to what to expect. I've searched the forum and see that squirrels like bulbs. I've had no problem with that. But do they eat the newly sprouted leaves??? Mine are about 2" high now and it looks like someone went across the top of them with a weed-whacker, taking off just a little bit.
And if they do eat them, are they so particular that they go after only one type of tulip versus another -- since I've got two other areas in the same small garden that isn't being bothered? But not with the same type tulip. And if not, then what ELSE would be eating the tops off my leaves? (I'll try to post a pic tomorrow if necessary.) I don't live in the country, I'm real close to a street and don't have lots of critters around (but I will say, in summer there are raccoons and possums at night). No deer and never see bunnies. Only have a couple squirrels and they seem quite content with eating the fallout from my feeders plus what I put out for them. BUT -- the seed fallout IS in pretty much on top these leaves -- where this problem is happening. Could there be a connection to that? The seeds on top of the new growth and something trying to get to the seed??? Could it be the birds??? My mom says maybe it's my cat??? bonnie aka brit5467 |

Do you have any rabbits in the neighborhood? Mine are always chomped off every spring by these hoppers. I wish they would stay cute away from my spring bulbs. That reminds me; I need to spread blood meal around the sprouts pronto! |
Honestly, I've never seen one bunny, BUT - with the way I described it to my mom, she said the same thing. RABBITS !! So, my question is - why are they picking on just one type of tulip leaf? Some sprouted WAY before these, still all green & lush and not one nibble. Then others came up after these. Same thing. Still beautiful and untouched. But they're giving this one area a fit. They are all in the same small garden, just in three different spots. But these ARE a different type of tulip than the other two areas. What's the deal? Do you think the fact that since birdseed falls down inside the growth, it makes them more yummy?? Do bunnies even like birdseed? That might be a naive question, but I'm no critter expert :) (PS - moved feeders last night :) DOES THE BLOODMEAL DETER THEM ??? tks !! bonnie aka brit5467 |
Based on what my pet rabbit likes to eat, I'd say bunnies would like birdseed. |
Well then....that all makes sense now. Even tho I must have 'stealth' bunnies (since I have never, ever seen one), the fact that the seed was all down inside each of the sprouting leaves, that must by why they picked THOSE particular ones. Tks guys !! |
I find the rabbits in my yard consistently like some tulip varieties more than others. And I don't have birdseed! |
Well....so far no one's mentioned any other critters who like to feast on tulip leaves, so I guess I'm just gonna have to set up a 'bunny cam' -- just so I can enjoy watching the little fellas chowing down. I just find it amazing that I've never seen one in the 5 years I've lived here. NEVER !! Maybe they know I have a cat and only come when he's in for the night, huh? Pitimpinai never said if the bloodmeal is to deter them? Am familiar with bonemeal but not bloodmeal. Will have to google it. But tks to all who've enlightened me to those " scwewy wabbits." bonnie aka brit5467 |

Blood meal does deter rabbits and squirrels. I use it around new shoots every spring. Great fertilizer too. :-) |
GREAT !! Gotta get some !! I love my couple of squirrels but they do tromp thru my garden and I don't really want them doing so while new growth is coming up so this will help with that as well. Thanks so much !! |
I usually don't see them either. When summer comes, maybe, but for now, they are "Stealth wabbits". Once you have buds the rabbits will get even more aggressive. Blood meal is easy to find, luckily. Walmart, all the home improvement stores. It seems to be the same price everywhere: about $5 for a box. I had a group of coyotes in my yard most of the winter: I'm hoping they got lots of them, or have scared them off by their scent. My kitty can't go outside anymore. I have heard that if you brush the cat, put the cat fur in the yard too. |

I can say with certainty that it isn't a cat.... slugs mow my tulip leaves down as they emerge. I had a lot of damage on my iris reticulatas this year too and my daylilies all have chewed tips. |
Well....I DO have the slug problem on my hostas, but this isn't from them. Always know by the shiny 'slime' trails. Nooo, this seems to be more of what others have been saying. The "stealth" bunnies. BUT - I'll tell you a trick I learned somewhere. If you have access to gum-balls (can't even say what kind of tree they come off of)...I was told to create a circle around my hosta plants as they sprouted. The slugs don't like the prickly parts. And as they grew last year, I just expanded the circle of gum-balls around the leaves so they could not crawl up onto them. It worked GREAT. So I guess it would work with anything else??? Just an idea. Don't know about other plants but seems it should work for anything?? bonnie |
I saw a squirrel run with what looked like a piece of bread in his mouth. I stalked him. He ran half-way up a tree and stopped. That was no piece of bread in his mouth, that was a tulip head! I had seen three other tulips with their heads snipped off cleanly...and other tulip plants had been carefully shredded. If there is any doubt about it, squirrels DO eat tulip heads! Blood meal be my revenge! |
Wow!! This is crazy. This is my old post from 2010 but what's even more crazy is....I saw the same thing. Was on phone talking to Mom and said, "Hmmm, I didn't know squirrels like bread. There's one running across the street with bread in his mouth." And he ran up a tree. NOW I know it was not bread. And he had just come from direction of my garden. Little boogers...lol. Bonnie |

Dwyane Wade's 20 Best Dunks In The NBA
Once in awhile, we're treated to watching Dwyane Wade unleash his athleticism all over the heads of multiple defenders, just as a reminder to know that he's still capable of doing so. The poster dunks are less frequent, partly because of age and the fact that he doesn't get the ball nearly as much as he did pre-LeBron, but they're still harrowing to watch because of just how impressive Wade makes it look.

Foles breaks hand, Vick likely to start It looks as if Michael Vick will be back on the field for the Eagles for Sunday's season finale against the New York Giants. That's because Nick Foles has a hairline fracture in his throwing hand. He was hurt just before halftime last Sunday against Washington, but finished the game after x-rays were negative. But an MRI revealed the injury earlier this week. Foles set several Eagles records for a rookie quarterback this season, but that hasn't been reflected in the team's record - the Birds were 1-5 in the six games he started. Vick hasn't played since suffering a concussion during a loss to the Cowboys on Nov. 11. He was recently cleared to return. If it's not Vick under center this weekend, it would fall to third-string quarterback Trent Edwards, who hasn't played yet this year. |
