Mary Armstead, program director for the National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC), has been appointed acting associate director of NIH's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Policy Management, agency officials said Sept. 11.
Robert Coen, current deputy director of NITAAC, has been tapped as its acting director.
In her new role, Armstead will oversee three divisions: acquisition policy and evaluation; simplified acquisition policy and services; and financial advisory services. Armstead will report directly to Diane Fraiser, director of the logistics and acquisition office and head of contracting activity.
The changes happen Oct. 1.
"I have truly enjoyed my time at NITAAC, and found the position extremely fulfilling," she said in a written statement.
NITAAC hosts several governmentwide IT acquisition contracts, including the Chief Information Officers-Solutions and Partners 3 and its small business version, as well as the Electronic Commodities Store III (ECS III) for IT hardware, software and related services.
Coen said he's ready to carry on Armstead's success.
"With the award of our two new CIO-SP3 GWACs, each valued at $20 billion, we have aggressive plans for agency outreach and training, as well as keeping the contractor community engaged and involved," he said.

I went to Dr. Arthur for a Nerve Root Block. I would never recommend this doctor to ANYONE! I came out of recovery and he came by to ask me how my back was. I told him I had a massive headache, like I never had before. He informed me, HE DIDN'T CARE!! I told him several times and you know what he told me several times, "I DON'T CARE". I called his office for several weeks, trying to explain the pain I was in, guess what? He never returned my call! And, I am not a complainer I just go with the flow. I have never complained about a doctor before. For years I was in pain with a massive headache. Finally, I found a doctor that had the knowledge and listened. When Dr. Arthur performed my Nerve Root Block his incompetency cause 2 punctures in the dura tissue where he did the procedure. I was in so much pain for years and was was in bed most of the time because of his incompetency! I highly recommend you DO Not USE HIM.
Dr. Arthur stops at nothing for his patients. He has treated my father for years and always gives his best. I know my father is getting the very best!
The doctor and the nurse where very impatient and it seems as if they treat everyone as if they all have the same problem. The injection given was wrong to begin with. Calling them and getting them to call back for follow ups is a huge hassle. Please save yourself the trouble, money and pain, and go to an actual good Dr that takes time to listen to what you have wrong and answer phones for any appointment or follow up.
Takes the time to answer all questions. Reviews all tests. Liked him. The staff was very pleasant.

Hi there, I just went to beaches in RI and collected some rocks for my koi pond. Can i put the rocks in the pond? or do i need to soak/rinse them out before putting them into pond? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ahhhh... RI, my home! Which beach? I would definitely recommend washing them to get the salt off. Maybe soak them overnight in a vinegar solution and then rinse them really really well |
- Posted by grrr4200 z3 MI (email@example.com) on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 22:38
Anytime I use rocks from an outside source I boil them, rapid boil 20-30 minutes, this way it gets the rocks hot enough to kill any parasites or bacteria that may cause harm to your fish |

text: Hi all, I apologize for disappearing for most of Feb. I just didn't feel like I could be very supportive, and I didn't want to bring everyone down. Things have been really hectic around here, I'm still trying to get the travel agency going, and it is not going well, so I am having to look for a part time job already, I was hoping to be able to wait for a while longer, the thought of leaving my baby is heart wrenching. :( But I don't have a choice, we just can't make ends meet on dh's salary. So, I have been pretty depressed lately. I still managed to lose about 3lbs and 7 inches in Feb, which I was amazed at, I have officially lost my first 10 lbs, which is why I decided I needed to pick myself up and get back to this group. I always do so much better when I post here, and with my sisters wedding a mere 2 1/2 months away, I need all the help I can get. I had to try on my bridesmaid dress yesterday, thankfully it fit, although it is a size 24!!! :o :^: The next largest girl in the wedding party is a size 12! So I am sure I will feel like a whale, I just hope I don't ruin the pictures. :shrug: Anyway, I hope to lose another 10 lbs in time for her wedding, so that means I really have to work. I promise to post more often.

KOLKATA: The arrest of slain Maoist leader Kishanji's close aide Sadanala Ramkrishna from the city was seen as the biggest rebel bust in the state, but it has been learnt that a bulk of the damage had already been done before the Special Task Force (STF) and Greyhound commandos could pin him down.
STF officers on Monday came to know that the Maoist brigade had already transported six consignments of spare parts and hardware required to manufacture rocket launchers to Chhattisgarh from the city. It was only during the smuggling of the seventh consignment that Ramkrishna got trapped in police net. On Sunday, however, cops conducted a raid in Raipur and seized 75 boxes of hardware materials (different types of metal sockets) that are believed to be spare parts of rocket launchers. Interrogation of Ramakrishna and Deepak, another Maoist held by the team, led STF officials to Raipur.
The consignment was transported to Chhattisgarh through a city-based transport company and police seized the equipment from the company's Saraswati Nagar warehouse in Raipur. STF officers claimed the sockets were made at a workshop in Kamarhati. The manager of the transport company, Rabi Tripathi, has been detained for interrogation. Police also picked up Rekha Pardhania, Deepak's wife, who is believed to look after the transportation in Raipur.
According to sources, STF has detained two more from Kolkata, one among them has been identified as Rajesh Sau. The duo reportedly purchased the Birati flat where Ramakrishna and Depak had been camping for past six months.
After recovering the spare parts, a security alarm rang among the top bosses of internal security. "Probe confirmed that rebels had already gathered huge fire power in their arsenal that they plan to unleash on security forces," said an officer. It is also feared that only one channel of the weapon supply chain has been detected so far and more such chains are active across the country.
Police suspect that more consignments are in the pipeline. They also believe that more transport companies are being used to smuggle raw materials. Police are now trying to unearth other supply chains.

PANCHKULA: Two days after a 24-year-old girl was found murdered in Mansa Devi Complex (MDC) area, Panchkula police on Friday claimed to have solved the case by arresting two youths Sunil and Babloo, who were allegedly involved in the murder.
According to sources in police, Pooja's boyfriend Sunil had murdered her with the help of his friend Babloo by strangulating her. Pooja was having an affair with Sunil for the past three years and was pressing him to marry her, added sources. Sunil was the driver of a bus hired by Vardhaman Factory where the deceased also worked.
Police arrested the accused from Sector 20, when they were about to flee Bihar.
They will be produced in the court tomorrow.
On October 19 Suman, a resident of Bhainsa Tibba village in MDC area found Pooja murdered near an under-construction shop in the wee hours of the morning.
"Several times the couple had a tiff over the issue of marriage. One day Sunil called Pooja to meet him at 11pm. There he had a talk with her for about 15 minutes in which the topic of marriage arose again and later turned into a fight, following which he strangulated her with her dupatta. For about one-and-a-half hour they kept the body with them in the bus and around 2.30am they threw her body near the shops," said sub-inspector Deepak Kumar.

CLICK HERE FOR NATALIE COLE'S VIDEO INTERVIEW A discussion with Larry King about her need for kidney transplantation after only 4 mo. of hepatitis C treatments!
Sandy's Story (by Sandy )
Sometime in the late 70's I was told I needed a hysterectomy due to fibroid tumors. I had the surgery and was given a pint of blood to make up for blood loss during the months preceding surgery where I bled profusely and lost a lot of blood. Unbeknownst to me, the blood was tainted. There was no way to test blood then for hep C. Several years later while visiting relatives in Fla. I passes out cold on the floor, hitting my head on the marble floor and waking up in an ER. I had lost 7 pints of blood due to internal bleeding from an esophageal bleed. I was diagnosed with severe hep C and advanced cirrhosis of the liver. Didn't know what hit me! Was told eventually I'd need a transplant. That was 12 years ago. My doctor thinks I'm a walking miracle because he said usually patients as advanced as I was were usually transplanted or dead within the following 5 years. I truly believe in the power of positive thinking and although the virus is very much alive in my body and my liver enzymes are high and my blood platelets go up and down I am still fine for there hasn't been much of a drastic change in anything in quite sometime. I do take Milk Thistle, Dandelion and am going to look into SAM-E, which I know have helped me stay the way I've stayed so far. My sister was also diagnosed and was on the experimental meds with interferon for one year. She became depressed, suicidal, insomniac, stressed out but stuck it out for one year. She was okay for about 6 months after she stopped but her detectable numbers eventually returned to where they were before. My friend Sandi, also diagnosed with hep C, was on the experimental meds for exactly 3 weeks and felt like a zombie so her doctor took her off.
So I am thankful I'm here and keep hoping to stay on this earth and enjoy my kids and grandbabies as long as I can. Sandy

CyenEast Brunswick, NJGive It Try And You Will Not Be DisappointedI have tried many flat iron, but none of them has done a great job. It is light and easy to use. My hair look shiny and straight now. This is what I have been looking for. It is an excellent product.posted Dec 20, 2004Link to this post
LisaLong Island, NySedu Is A Miracle!It used to take me 45 mintues to straighten my thick wavy/curly/frizzy hair. Now, with Sedu, it only takes 10 minutes. And my sister, whos hair is twice as thick, frizzy and curly as mine, use to take her over an hour. Now it takes her only 15 minutes! Sedu gets our hair sooooo straight and makes it silky and smooth. Everyone kept asking me if I got the Japanese straightening done to my hair because its so straight!!! I love it! Thanks!posted Dec 20, 2004Link to this post
Content ConsumerBest Results EverI have very wavy, slighty frizzy, and very long hair and Ive tried a cheaper $20 flat iron with no results. Ive also used various hair products that are supposed to relax and straighten your hair, but to no avail. However, after purchasing this awesome product, I have no need for those other hair products anymore. All I have to do is set the heat index option to 180 degress and within minutes my long hair is straight and frizz-free. I love this thing!posted Dec 20, 2004Link to this post
M. StoiberSedu Ionic Ceramic Flat IronI bought this as a gift for my daughter. She has extremely thick, course hair. Used to take her 2 hours to blow dry and straighten. It has definitely cut her time in half. Ive used it also. It works wonders, no frizz, no pulled hair. I believe I made a good choice with this flat iron.posted Dec 20, 2004Link to this post
ImpressedChicagoSalon Strength Ironing Looks Great, But Watch Out For Your Hair's ConditionI have used the straightening irons you can buy at local beauty supply stores (Target, Walgreens, Sallys), but none of them carried salon quality straightening irons. I read all the reviews for the other straightening irons on folica and decided to go with the Sedu. I have thick, coarse, Indian hair that is extremely resilient and in good condition. The Sedu on the recommended normal setting was more than powerful enough to straighten my hair. I would just be very careful in choosing your heat settings. I think the recommended heat settings may be a little on the aggressive side in order to ensure your hair gets as straight as they promise. Just make sure to watch the health of your hair. I noticed that my hair looked silky smooth, but when I tried to run my hands through it like I normally do...didnt feel so healthy. So, Ive decided to turn down the heat setting, not straighten my hair everyday, and most definitely deep condition to repair the heat damage. But besides keeping a close eye on not hurting your hair, the Sedu seems to be working well. The quality of the iron (on/off switch & settings) looked a bit lacking. So, well see how long it lasts.posted Dec 20, 2004Link to this post
LisaSherwood Park , Alberta, Canada.I'm Loving It!I have very thick,wavy,frizzy long hair. I read reviews on a couple of different Ceramic Flat irons and decided to purchase the Sedu. Im very very happy with my purchase. Im not only impressed with the preformance but the design as well. Im enjoying making my hair look silky smooth and beautiful. Thanks Folica.com for the incredibly quick service!posted Dec 19, 2004Link to this post
DebbyWashington, DCFinally Straight And Flat...This iron has changed my life. I have ultra thick Italian hair and have paid hundreds of dollars for japanese thermal straightening treatments each year but will not have to go to that extreme anymore. This iron straightens my hair in minutes and it looks shiny and naturally straight - like japanese hair. Even when its raining, your hair will stay straight and not fluff out and frizz. It is worth the splurge because it will save you in time and frustration. I think the secret to this iron is that is gets very hot like the salon irons and works like a charm.posted Dec 17, 2004Link to this post

Could you please door a story on the following:
The City of Cape Town Central Library, in Cape Town, South Africa, broke the World Record for longest book domino chain previously held Seattle Public Library. Here is a link to the a report on the event.
Thank you
Rudi Wicomb
City of Cape Town
Via Gawker a librarian who is sick to death of the same kid always having read the greatest number of books at the summer reading program.
Nine-year old Tyler Weaver calls himself "the king of the reading club" at Hudson Falls Public Library. But now it seems Hudson Falls (NY) Public Library Director Marie Gandron wants to end his five-year reign and have him dethroned. Tyler won the six-week-long "Dig into Reading" event by completing 63 books from June 24 to Aug. 3, averaging more than 10 a week.
He has consistently been the top reader since kindergarten, devouring a total of 373 books over the five contests, according to his mother, Katie.
"It feels great," said Tyler, an intermediate scholar student at Hudson Falls School. "I think that was actually a record-breaking streak."
Everyone is so proud of him. Everybody, it seems, but Gandron, who was surprised to learn Katie (his mom) notified a Post-Star reporter about her son being a longtime winner. During a phone call Tuesday to Gandron, the library director said Tyler "hogs" the contest every year and he should "step aside." "Other kids quit because they can't keep up," Gandron said.
Gandron further told the reporter she planned to change the rules of the contest so that instead of giving prizes to the children who read the most books, she would draw names out of a hat and declare winners that way. She said she can't now because Katie has come forward to the newspaper.
Gandron said she has an "attitude" about the contest because several years ago a little girl came in claiming she had read more than 200 books. Her mother backed her up, but it was discovered the girl was lying.
From NPR, a new program to deliver books to Seattlites via bike.
By the loading dock of Seattle's downtown library, librarian Jared Mills checks his tire pressure, secures his iPads and locks down about 100 books to an aluminum trailer the size of a steamer trunk. The scene is reminiscent of something you'd see in an action movie, when the hero is gearing up for a big fight, but Mills is gearing up for something very different.
"If you're not prepared and don't have a lot of experience hauling a trailer, it can be kind of dangerous," Mills says, especially when you're going downhill. "The trailer can hold up to 500 pounds."
Mills is part of Seattle Public Library's Books on Bikes program, which aims to keep the library nimble and relevant by sending librarians and their bicycles to popular community events around Seattle.
After a hilly, 5-mile bike ride to a local farmers market, Mills sets up shop among the fruit and vegetable booths. The bright orange trailer is custom-made with bookshelves and an umbrella holder (it is Seattle, after all).
Malena Harrang, in her early 20s, is visiting the market with a friend. She says Mills' book station is "like [a] carbon-neutral library on wheels — doesn't get better than that."
Respect your library, and public restrooms: "Potty talk, or What They Don't Teach Us in Library School" is a topic on which I've lectured several times at librarian conferences, and I was able to point to Noel Wien Library's restrooms as models of improved design. Several years ago we brightened the restroom lighting considerably, replaced old, dark wall tiles with lighter ones, added timers to the toilets, urinals, and faucets, as well as stainless steel dividers, and new air blade hand dryers. Old-style blower dryers, for example, were used by those bathing in the sinks, and thereby flooding the whole room, to dry body parts other than their hands; that's impossible with the blades, which are also quieter and use far less electricity.
The Wapello County Sheriff's Office is investigating the explosion of small bomb in a library book drop in the small southeast Iowa community of Blakesburg.
Librarian Rebecca Brittain says the ``homemade bomb'' was found in the Blakesburg Public Library's book drop on Wednesday morning.
Wapello County Chief Deputy Don Phillips says the explosion was caused by a chemical reaction inside a Gatorade bottle.
In this special episode we talk about a new issue in public policy that may create trickle-down issues for public libraries. This is an exception to the on-going hiatus which otherwise remains in effect. The next regular episode remains scheduled for release on Monday, September 2, 2013.

Police report that a woman found an item that looked like a hand grenade in bushes near the Deschutes Public Library Thursday morning, put it in a garbage can and called police.
Turns out it was a bicycle lock, fashioned to look like a grenade.
KTVZ-TV reports that Sgt. Dan Ritchie says the building was evacuated as a precaution.
An explosives expert was called and determined the object was not dangerous.
From huffingtonpost.com
"The news that Miami-Dade Mayor was axing funding for a no-kill program at county animal shelters got worse on Monday when he announced that nearly two dozen local library branches would also be shuttered to avoid a tax increase.
The deep cuts, if passed, mean closing 22 libraries and laying off 251 library employees."
Four Brooklyn libraries will remain closed during the current heat wave due to busted air-conditioners.
The city typically urges residents to go to libraries to flee Mother Nature's fiery wrath, but the Brooklyn Heights, Brownsville, Clinton Hill and Flatlands branches won't be able to serve the steaming public.
"The library is one of the only options we have," said Brooklyn Heights resident Lori Burch, 54. "It's a problem for parents, teachers and even the seniors if there are no indoor activities for them in this weather."
The four branches are part of an expanding list of 60 libraries in the system — including the central branch — that need $300 million in fixes for rundown roofs, broken boilers and aging computers and furniture.

SNL Kagan: Future Radio Online Revenue Looks Good
Monterey, CA - Nov 2, 2009 - According to updated projections from SNL Kagan, radio online revenues are expected to grow by double digits in 2009 to $441 million by year-end, up 12 percent from $394 million annually in 2008.
Looking forward, SNL Kagan projects an annual online revenue growth rate of 20 percent in 2010 to $530 million. As the market matures, growth is expected to level off through 2013, rising to $827 million, or 4.7 percent, of total radio revenues by the end of the five-year period. That compares to 2.0 percent in 2008 and a projected 2.7 percent of total radio revenues in 2009.

TOKYO - Looking at the year ahead, there's no stopping Toyota. Analysts say 2007 could be the year the Japanese manufacturer surpasses General Motors Corp. as the world's No. 1 automaker in vehicle sales.
Soaring oil prices have drivers around the world snatching up gas-saving Toyotas with a reputation for reliability, like the Camry — the best-selling car in the U.S. nearly every year since 1997 — and the Corolla, the world's bestselling car.
Toyota Motor Corp., which passed up Ford Motor Co. as the world's No. 2 automaker in annual sales in 2003, is opening new plants in Russia, Thailand and China next year to keep up with demand.
"Everything is going right for Toyota in every way possible," said Yasuaki Iwamoto, auto analyst for Okasan Securities in Tokyo. "Toyota has carved out a reputation for reliability and quality."
The numbers tell the story.
Toyota expects to sell 8.85 million vehicles worldwide this year. It won't announce vehicle sales targets for 2007 until Dec. 22, but earlier said it aims to sell 9.8 million vehicles globally in 2008.
General Motors Corp. doesn't give vehicle sales targets but sold 9.17 million vehicles globally last year, the second-largest volume in company history.
Toyota is expecting a $13.4 billion profit for the fiscal year ending March 2007. It posted a $11.8 billion profit last fiscal year, marking the fourth straight record income for Toyota.
GM's situation couldn't be more different.
The U.S. automaker is undergoing massive restructuring after racking up more than $10.6 billion in red ink last year and losing $3 billion more the first nine months of this year.
GM says the perception that its cars are gas-guzzlers is unfair and inaccurate.
The Detroit-based automaker, which has begun an ad campaign to fight that perception, has its own share of fuel-efficient models, such as the Saturn Vue Green Line hybrid.
The company said it is focused on its turnaround plan and won't make decisions for the sake of keeping its global sales leadership.
"We're focused on remaking GM into a more competitive, leaner company that can generate profits on a sustained basis," said spokesman Brian Akre. "We won't alter our North America turnaround plan or sacrifice our profitability for the sake of one superlative."
General Motors is also far ahead of Toyota in China, the world's third-largest auto market behind Japan and the U.S. Last year, GM had 11 percent of the Chinese market while Toyota had just 3.5 percent.
GM already has five joint venture assembly plants that make nearly all GM vehicles sold in China and plans to spend $3 billion in 2004-07 to expand operations.
But Toyota is expanding in China and aims to roll out the remodeled Corolla next year there — and around the world.
In the U.S., Toyota is encroaching on GM's turf.
A decade ago, GM controlled about a third of the U.S. market while Toyota had barely 8 percent. Today, GM's share has dwindled to 24 percent.
Toyota's zoomed to more than 15 percent.
This year, Toyota won top honors in eight of 19 categories in a J.D. Power and Associates vehicle dependability study — more than any other company.
Toyota's Lexus luxury brand was the top-ranked nameplate for the 12th consecutive year.
And with the renewed consumer interest in environmentally-friendly cars, Toyota has done well with its Prius hybrid, which went on sale in 1997 and delivers about 51 miles per gallon.
Toyota officials say beating GM isn't on their minds.
"Our goal is to become No. 1 with the customer," said Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco.
"The increases we are experiencing in production and sales is simply a reflection of consumer demand."
But Toyota has seen its reputation take a hit recently in a rise in recalls, partly as a result of successful cost-cutting that involves many models using the same parts.
Although Toyota's production methods are emulated by other companies and studied at universities, it has been struggling lately to maintain quality as it expands production — a signal of possible danger ahead.
President Katsuaki Watanabe has repeatedly promised to beef up quality controls.
To keep up with the burst in demand, Toyota will be opening new plants next year.
Its first auto plant in Russia will start producing the Camry. Toyota in Thailand will add another plant, its third there, to produce a pickup truck.
A new plant in China will produce a compact that Toyota has yet to disclose.
In the U.S., the first Tundra pickup trucks rolling off of Toyota's Texas plant will arrive in showrooms in 2007, a sign of Toyota's ambitions in a lucrative sector dominated by American automakers.


text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Problems Hepatitis During Pregnancy All the information you need to know about being pregnant with hepatitis A, B or C. What is hepatitis during pregnancy?Hepatitis is an infection and inflammation of the liver caused by a virus. There are several different kinds of hepatitis viruses, including hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. What are the signs of hepatitis during pregnancy?Common signs of hepatitis include nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, abdominal pain and jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. The problem is, depending on the type of virus, symptoms might not show up for months or years after infection, or you may have no symptoms at all. Are there any tests for hepatitis during pregnancy?Yes. A blood test can indicate the presence of hepatitis. Other blood tests can show how badly the liver has been affected. How common is hepatitis during pregnancy?About 0.1 to 2 percent of Americans have hepatitis. How did I get hepatitis?Hepatitis B is spread through infected blood and body fluids. That means you can get it from unprotected sex with an infected person or from being poked with a needle used by someone with the infection. Hepatitis C is mainly spread through contaminated blood, though in rare cases, it can also be spread through sexual contact. Hepatitis A is usually spread through the feces -- there have been cases where people have been infected by eating food handled by someone who didn't wash their hands after using the bathroom. How will hepatitis affect my baby?Your baby should be fine throughout the pregnancy. The biggest risk is that your baby could become infected at birth. That's why all pregnant women are tested for hepatitis B. If your test shows you've been infected, your doctor will take steps to minimize your baby's chances of infection."[Certain] invasive practices in labor will be avoided [if you have hepatitis]," says James O'Brien, MD, ob-gyn, medical director of inpatient obstetrics at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, so baby doesn't get infection. "The newborn should also receive an injection of hepatitis immune globulin and the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth." (See next page for hepatitis treatments.) -- Jennifer L.W. Fink Next Page >> Page 1 of 2

Please, I need an advice. I have a 1-meter (4 feet) tall papaya planted in my garden. Its doing great and starts to produce small flowers. By the way its about 4 months old. However, where I live, it will stop growing in lets say two months tops. So I'm pretty sure it will have few small fruits by the time I cover it and protect it for winter break. Should I remove small fruits, to retain the plant as strong as possible and hope for real fruits next summer, or leave them be? I would say the chances for the plant to survive here are 60 to 40. We have 30 degrees for couple of mornings almost every winter. Thanx! Marin |
Follow-Up Postings:
I assume you have a solo variety? If it were me, I would leave the fruits. At 4 feet, you could toss a blanket over it if you think you are going to have freezing temps for a night. The other factor is your overall environment. If your days stay plenty hot and you do get a sudden cold front, exactly how long would you have below freezing temps? You might only stay below freezing for 2-3 hours and hopefully the papaya can survive that. If it's planted close to the house, the house will also retain enough heat for a short term basis to protect it. In a zone 9 type of environment, use your house, a wall, tree canopy etc., when possible, to give your borderline plants some extra winter protection. |
Yes it is solo. The problem is I cant be near my papaya every day during winter so I put a cover in late november and remove it in late march next year. Some mulching and soil around stem to protect lower 2 feet from freezing and plastic cover to protect the plant from rain. Over the top just net cover to protect from heavy winds and frost. To be honest chances to survive with more or less intact top are very small. But I hope the lower part will survive and continue to grow strongly in spring. We get some frost 2-3 mornings for couple of hours, average. Some winters none, last winter snow and temperatures at 32 for two whole days. Thanx for advice! Marin |
How about erecting a mini greenhouse using pvc pipes w/ elbows and greenhouse film? Anchor the bottom film w/ bricks and this should keep it toasty. I've manage to grow cold crops in zone 7A and harvest in January with this method. This year I'm keeping my 7 ft. papaya in the basement (2nd year) and it has fruit, so I'm hoping it'll be happy. I don't know what I'd do in zone 9, probably tent over the whole yard and grow mango trees! |
Yes, I tried that last season, covering whole plant with greenhouse plastic. Unfortunately, I left open about 1/2 foot at the bottom , cause I wanted the plant to have some fresh air and at the same time I ran out of plastic. That whole at the bottom was way too much, the plant looked rather ok till february frost and snow..It died.. This year I'll be more concentrated on keeping alive lower part of the plant with roots. I just wasnt sure about keeping small fruits on. My guess is papaya will have more of growing and strenghtening and making leaves instead of making fruits larger. Thank you. Marin |
- Posted by treefrog_FL z10 FL (My Page) on Wed, Oct 12, 05 at 1:08
Could you start some seeds now and keep the young plants warm and happy all winter? In a mini-greenhouse or inside when it's cold? Then plant them outside when the weather warms. That way they would have a headstart next spring. If papayas are in fertile soil and are well fertilized and watered, they should produce a good crop in one growing season. I had a volunteer sprout last fall in the garden. Wishing you success with your tree! Treefrog |
Just to summerize my ideas regarding papaya, its fruit and winter protection. Yes, treefrog I could do that. But from my experience I should be more concetrated on keeping growing one alive. I can always start a new plant inside in winter. Bottom line is - I am not going to cover it from above. One thing ,its not so easy because of the location, and I did it with bad luck last year. As I said I cant check my papaya every day but once a week, even rarely as twice a month. There is one thing to do that will probably save the plant in winter. Covering lower 2 feet of stem with soil and plastic to prevent watering and then cutting the stem at that point. With no upper part and many leaves it probably will not freeze. If frost happenes with lot of leaf mass it might kill entire plant to the bottom. I heard this from experienced ones. Well I have a month or two to re-think. But if I'm pretty sure that leaves and top won't survive, cutting it at halfpoint is not a bad idea. That way plant should continue to grow strongly in spring with maybe more then one upper stem. Once again, thanks for opinions everybody! Marin |
So I should cut the giant papaya half way down if there is going to be a freeze>>>? Should I mound the remaining trunk with leaf bags full of oak leaves for warmth? Does anyone know if the papaya trunk is layered like the trunk of a banana?? |
I would leave the fruit on as it has been my experience that it will ripen during the spring. I do not think removing the fruit will increase or decrease the chance of surivival (temps and moisture will). Victoria, papayas are not like bananas (not layered). I would protect the lower sections, but would not cut it down to size, as the cut can prove to be a entry way for water/rot. I have let the tops of papaya take the frost and protect the lower half from damage. Good Luck |
- Posted by braveheartsmom Maui,Hi (My Page) on Fri, Dec 2, 05 at 15:29
Aloha! We do not have the same frost problems here in Maui, but some advice if you do decide to top the plant - here we put a large sized tin can over the cut trunk to keep the water out. Myself, I use a shower cap. The trunk will branch with the top taken off which is so much easier for harvesting. Perhaps it would be easier for you to have it lower so you are better able to protect it during cold weather? Best of luck, Jenny |

Fund This Film: Alison Bagnall's 'Funny Bunny' Incentives Include Life Coaching from Alex Karpovsky
Features By Christopher Campbell on March 9, 2013 | Be the First To Comment"If you love movies that are trying to tell real, unadulterated stories, pure, heartfelt stories, you need to be a part of supporting those films and helping them come into the world, because that's the only way that they will." – Alison Bagnall When we contribute to a crowdfunding campaign, we tend to think of the specific project at hand. The quote above reminds us that for movies that pledge can also be an investment in more than a single film. It's about supporting and encouraging independent filmmaking overall and certain genres or kinds of movies. Bagnall acknowledges that she makes a particular sort of film, which maybe is not everyone, yet which is really, really loved by enough people that they need to be made. Studios and larger production companies might not see reason to make films that a small audience is really into when they get more money out of films that a large audience is just sorta into. The quote above comes from Bagnall's Kickstarter campaign video for her next feature, Funny Bunny. And we can assume that if we like her previous works, 2003's Piggie and 2011's The Dish and the Spoon (one of our must-see picks for SXSW that year) and even Buffalo '66, which she co-wrote, that we'll want to see this too. As she describes it, the film is about "a friendless anti-obesity crusader, a trust fund manchild and a reclusive factory farming activist. These three marginal people bump up against one another and […]
AFI FEST 2011 Announces Young Americans, New Auteurs, and Spotlight Titles; Includes 'Bullhead,' 'Green,' and 'Michael'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWith AFI FEST 2011 presented by Audi rapidly approaching, the festival has just announced their first slate of film selections, including the full line-up for three of the festival's most unique and important sections – Young Americans (which features film from up-and-coming American filmmakers), New Auteurs (which gives a platform for first and second features from around the world), and Spotlight (which picks one filmmaker for special recognition and screenings of their work). This year's AFI FEST is already shaping up to be a fine festival for the fall season (alliteration is so choice), and the announcement of these selections only highlights that. Today's announced films include a bevy of already buzzed-about titles from the festival circuit, including Sophia Takal's Green, Athina Rachel Tsangari's Attenberg, Michaël R. Roskam's Bullhead, Markus Schleinzer's Michael, Justin Kurzel's Snowtown, Clay Liford's Wuss, Alison Bagnall's The Dish & The Spoon, and many more. This year's Spotlight will also shine on filmmaker Joe Swanberg, who will show all three films of his Full Moon Trilogy, including the World Premiere of the final chapter, The Zone. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting October 27). After the break, check out the full list and descriptions of the films to be featured in AFI FEST's New Auteurs, Young Americans, and Spotlight sections.

Lovely dress

Such a lovely dress! I was a bit sceptical about buying it at first because it is a tight dress, but the material is great and it really compliments my figure!

VIDEO: Hodgson girls stay undefeated, roll over Tigers The Hodgson girls basketball team trailed A.I. duPont at the end of the first quarter, but the Silver Eagles outscored the Tigers in the following three quarters to pick up its 10th consecutive win with a 60-41 victory on Thursday. A.I. (6-2) took a 12-9 lead at the end of one, when Lauryn Griffin and Sarah O'Connor both drained shots behind the arc, but the Tigers saw its lead crumble in the second. Hodgson (10-0) went on an 8-0 run to open the second quarter and held on to a 27-21 lead by halftime, with the help of Dynasty Williams' 15 first half points. The Silver Eagles' Mia Wynn got her team going in the third, hitting the first three buckets inside for Hodgson. At the end of three, Hodgson led 43-32. In the final quarter, Hodgson opened again with another run (9-0) with shots made from Williams, Quiara Mayes, and Tierra Johnson. Hodgson's Jordan Coleman extended the lead to 20 points when she nailed a jumper, and the Tigers never could find the answer to the speed or size of the Silver Eagles in the second half. Williams led all scorers with 20 points, while Coleman chipped in 10 points for Hodgson. Griffin led A.I. with 12 points. |

JAIPUR: Furious over non-availability of any doctor at Barkat Nagar dispensary for the past two months, the residents of nearby areas locked up the dispensary building on Sunday.
At around 9 am, people from nearby areas along with Malviya Nagar MLA Kalicharan Saraf reached the dispensary. "If there is no doctor to take care of the patients, it is better to close the dispensary. So, we locked up the building," the MLA said later.
From the same building, a mother and child welfare centre (MCWC) is operating with an aim to provide better health facilities to the people.
At the MCWC, there is facility for deliveries and there is a gynecologist posted. "But there are no coolers to provide relief to newborn from the hot weather," he said.
Residents also demanded that blood test and other laboratory tests should also be made available at the dispensary. Since it will take some time to introduce the facilities at the dispensary, the registration slips of the dispensary should be made valid at Jaipuria hospital, where the patients could avail the blood test and other test facility on the dispensary registration slips, the MLA said.
The protest continued till 12.15 pm when chief medical health officer O P Thankan reached the place and made arrangements for a doctor. Thankan said: "Since the doctor who is deputed at the dispensary is going to retire soon, he has taken leave. Now, we have posted a doctor at the dispensary."
The people also demanded sanitation, drinking water facility and proper distribution of free medicines at the dispensary.

In March, the Marion County Election Board declared Senator Dick Lugar ineligible to vote in Indiana, the state he's represented in Congress since 1977. Lugar sold his home in Indianapolis decades ago, and he currently resides in McLean, Va. True, the board's vote was along partisan lines, with the two Democrats voting against the one Republican. But Republican activists say they've hardly seen Lugar since his first election 36 years ago.
"I have never met Dick Lugar, and I have been to more Lincoln Day dinners, GOP events, and tea-party rallies than can be counted," writes Dee Dee Benkie, Republican national committeewoman for Indiana, in an e-mail to National Review Online.
"Lugar has hardly ever appeared at any county Lincoln Day dinners," adds Jim Bopp, Republican national committeeman for Indiana. "And he almost never even appears at Indiana GOP state dinners or our state conventions." Like Benkie, Bopp is supporting state treasurer Richard Mourdock in the primary.
By contrast, many Republican activists have been impressed by Mourdock's availability. For instance, Phillip Stoller, vice chairman of the 3rd Congressional District GOP, remembers chatting with Mourdock one-on-one for 30 minutes on Congressman Mike Pence's campaign bus.
Yet Lugar has his defenders. "I've met him many times going back to college in the '90s," writes Mike O'Brien, chairman of the Hendricks County GOP, in an e-mail to NRO. "I had a class assignment to interview an elected official. Rather than select the local officials like most of my classmates, I sent a request to Senator Lugar and he accepted it."
"To suggest he's some distant, obtuse elected official is a total fabrication that fits the narrative of this primary for his opponents," O'Brien adds. "I'm not of the class of county chairman who expects to see my United States Senator at my ham-and-bean supper. We hire these guys to go represent us in Washington, D.C., and then we're shocked when they actually spend more time in Washington, D.C., when they're elected than when they were campaigning to go."
Frain disagrees. "When we elect representatives to Washington, I think there is a certain expectation that they stay engaged and involved in Indiana," he argues. "How else are they going to know the needs and wants of Hoosier citizens if they're not involved?"

PrimeNet Direct Marketing Solutions : Addressing the Environment
August 2012 By Julie Greenbaum, Associate EditorIn addition to the Heidelberg Speedmaster 74, the company currently operates a four-color Heidelberg Speedmaster 72, a five-color Didde web press and a two-color Halm Jet envelope press. A Xerox iGen3 and an iGen4; three Xerox DocuTech 180 HLC color presses; a Xerox DocuTech 128 HLC color press; and a four-color Xerox Phaser 77606X round out the digital printing division. A new Oris Color Tuner System was added to help meet GRACoL color specifications.
PrimeNet also maintains an in-house bindery, and full mailing and fulfillment services, with an onsite USPS detached mail unit.
According to Jack Flick, PrimeNet's director of data services, the firm plans to make upgrades to its prepress department next year, and has already started to look at several options. He also foresees plenty of growth opportunities in four-color digital printing, using the company's existing iGen presses to take its personalization capabilities even further."
Since moving into the new building last year, Keefe has instituted several disaster recovery and energy-saving measures. For example, he had external barriers installed to control the climate and keep heat outside, and all of the windows were coated to reflect heat. All plant doors were also given a sun-reflective and insulated covering, to seal out the heat and the damage from hurricanes.
Hurricane Preparedness
The facility is now hurricane Category 3 certified and its data center within the building is in a Category 5 certified bunker. Diesel generators provide a backup in the event of a power failure. A comprehensive disaster recovery manual has also been created by PrimeNet's executive team.
"We go through countdown steps when storms are beating on us," emphasizes Keefe. "For example, we recently completed our sixth electrical power test, where we kill the power and test to see if the machines and the emergency lights are running, or if anything went wrong."
In the past year, Keefe has also implemented many eco-friendly initiatives, including a comprehensive recycling program; the use of soy-based offset inks and water-compatible inkjet inks; and forklifts that run on battery power. PrimeNet's AC filter program is also designed to ensure that all AC units are running at maximum efficiency, and that all facility thermostats are set at a constant temperature of 74 degrees and 80 degrees in off hours. Other additions include a low-voltage, DC motor that runs air through filters to suck up dust; and automatic shut-off light switches and motion-activated lights throughout the plant.
"In less than a year, we have been able to reduce our carbon footprint by 30 percent," says Keefe, who adds that the firm regularly monitors its electrical consumption and conducts energy audits to ensure usage is flat or down. "We also save about 26 percent on our energy bills and receive a recycling reimbursement of about $25,000 a year."
The sustainability effort PrimeNet has made so far has saved the equivalent of 6,336 trees a year, and has earned it certification by the National Association for Information Destruction.
Last November, PrimeNet held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and an open house to showcase its new facility to prospects and customers. "Reactions have been nothing but positive so far," notes Keefe. "They like the fact that it is clean, safe and well-organized. We also have plenty of meeting space."
Since June 1st marked the start of the hurricane season, Keefe remains calm and assured that his business will remain standing. "We have practiced, learned and simulated, and are now at the highest level of readiness than we have ever been," he concludes.
"I can now shift my focus on growing the company—adding more staff and enhancing our printing capabilities. We will also continue to build upon our direct mail business, make sure our lists are as clean as possible and take full advantage of the many workshare discounts that the USPS offers. PI

New Albany Farmers Market
Artsie Crafty
By: sammie malatesta (Oct 29, 2012)
My wife and I stopped by this market and quite frankly was not impressed. Unless you like lots of cookies and crafts. We found it to be mainly store fronts selling their wares. upon speaking with several of the booths and asking about their products they didn't know much about their products and one booth tried to tell us they grew the pistachio nuts -last time I checked pistachios didn't grow in Ohio. A few other booths we stopped at had items from other countries, and in checking out a few on line after talking with them and getting a business card it appears they just buy their products and do not make or grow them. My wife who loves farmers markets couldn't wait to leave. I would not recommend this market unless you have a sweet tooth and like lots of artsie crafty things. I highly doubt we will attend again.

At the New Albany Farmers Market, we strive to create a welcoming and community oriented atmosphere. The merchants who are at the market are producers of all the products they sell. We have local honey, maple syrup, produce, bakery items, jams, cheese, ice cream, soup mixes, coffee, pies, meat, lamb wool, and fudge. All of these products are made by our merchants. For the winter market, we added two merchants (a local art gallery and a group that re-purposes items into art) because we thought it would add a nice diversity to our market for this time of year. The pistachios are not grown in Ohio, but in California; however, the owner of the farm is a local resident. Again, it adds some nice diversity to a winter market. We hope you will try us again!

You are pumped to the brim. I am back in action.
that's great NSG.. that's why i give them about 10 seconds of my time and that 's it..I used to post 100's of prices a week.. now they get the min., I used to post several great articles a week that were permitted.. now they get none.. I used to make valid points on comments and interact with all... now I write a few and seldom read comments.. if that's soured.. than i am that... and I am not a moron as Steve puts it.. I did nothing out of bounds.. except hit a raw nerve of truth.. that this outfit didn't dig.. nothing vulgar.. in fact.. they cited me for being offensive but once.. and that was it, despite my valid response and complete surprise at literally "putting a photo into written words".. exactly as I saw it.. well who cares right? their game.. they win.. Have a good one ... J1
Informative post on Evs mr NSG..mystified as to why they left the pollution factor out..I mean buying an Ev is supposed to cut overall pollution but this piece leaves that totally disregarded.. that's the main thrust as far as Im concerned, plus the cut on fossil fuel consumption. If I buy, I will charge with additional solar pv.. last paragraph says all..just a matter of time B4 the math changes again during the next fuel run up. J1
someday very soon I have no doubt the result will be the other way around.. good night
also noted is the tesla is almost 1000lbs heavier.. providing a serious disadvantage in weight vs HP
here's one where a lambo beats a tesla.. apparently the lambo driver is a bit of a pro.. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-model-p85d-drag-races-lamborghini-aventador-691-173012144.html
yup.. I'll agree there.. the hellcat's driver is the worst drag racer I've ever seen.. red lights.. tire spins.. lousy reaction time.. actually embarrasses anyone who is/was a strip regular .but let's face it.. the tesla doesn't roar!! It just zips on by like a gazelle.. and hell yeah a big cat can catch a gazelle once in a while... but 95% of the time.. the gazelle gets away clean.. the hellcat..is..in a sentence.. all show and little go... and in desperate need of an experienced wheel man.. best joe
how embarrassing.. he's already on my buddy list!! go figure.. sorry NSG...
Hah! looks like someone else is 'seeing' things from a different angle.. hmmm.. I'm not interested in talking politics.. I'm about progress away from fossil fuels.. the sooner the better.. the old guard is just that.. protecting their turf.. well.. much the same way a tesla blows a hellcat off the drag strip.. I want to blow the fossil fuels folks out of my wallet.. each day I get closer.. now as for Gb censorship.. that's just a given accepted fact of life.. and it should NOT be.. just that they disregard the truth so much.. they forgot what it was.. I vote for clean water, air, and tillable earth! I gotta go give JimL1 a 'buddy' request.. Hope the rest of your day goes well... joe

Is it safe to shoot 45 acp + P in the new model Ruger Vaqueros chambered for the 45acp

Ask Ruger.
An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society! Self Defense is an absolute and natural right! Keep your head down and your powder dry!
As Jim stated. Ruger is the best choice for the information. My opinion I would not! I believe in time it would no doubt damage your fine Ruger Vaquero which is a fine gun! Their original revolver design was not designed to fire very hot defense rounds. And for me I can not see taking a chance with any of my prized pieces. Even a model 66 S&W 357 Mag. Pistol will not withstand a constant diet of magnum loads and they were theoretically built for those rounds. Only my opinion! 03
The Constitution is not an instrument for the Government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the Government! *Patrick Henry Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." -- John F. Kennedy
yes. I would not feed it a steady diet of +P- it will accelerate wear on the gun- but not unsafe.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
+P is a legit spec. Typically if it's not safe to use +P ammo, a gun maker will be quite clear about it. NOTE: the +P spec wasn't exactly a huge leap in pressure either. It's a jump from 21,000 psi to 23,000 psi (not quite 9%). This might pose a problem in granddad's 1918 Colt, but in a modern Ruger it's not really worth worrying about, IMHO. From Wikipedia:
I want to thank everyone for their in-put on this I wouldnt want to take a chance of ruining my gun as Sniper brought out it just would not be worth it. I was considering only useing the +P as more or less for a densive load when I am out hikeing
You can. The new vaquero is pretty stout. Its not a colt or uberti clone of a colt. It will accelerate wear on the cylinder and forcing cone but not a lot. Did you get the 45colt 45acp combo?? If so 45 colt is a more effective round than the acp
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."

Murdoch Endorses Jerusalem as Israel's Capital
News Corp CEO throws support behind King David
Rupert Murdoch addressed the recent Democratic National Convention kerfuffle over Jerusalem while speaking today at a Wall Street Journal conference on investing in Israel.
"My platform is pretty simple," the News Corp CEO told the audience at the start of his opening address. "If it's good enough for King David, it's good enough for me."
At a conference about Israel's fertile investment opportunities and returns—government incentives to invest, GDP growth statistics, research and development sites for international companies—Murdoch's statement on Jerusalem injected politics into the otherwise straightforward morning talks. The powerful Republican donor and longtime supporter of Israel added his opinion to the criticism heaped upon the Democratic party after Los Angeles mayor and DNC chair Antonio Villaraigosa led a chaotic voice vote to re-insert recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital into the Democratic party platform.
Ultimately, though, Murdoch focused on the attractiveness of Israel's economic landscape, and the bottom line. "The path to global competitiveness runs through Israel," he assured the crowd. "Simply put: Israel's performance has now become too good for investors to ignore."

External storage for my nexus 10
Hi guys.
New to this forum. Just bought a nexus 10 16gb and I was wondering, Is it possible to use something like a sandisk 32gb via the mini usb port to store additional files from my nexus.
I'm a tech noob so I was looking for some good advice.
Thanks -
Re: External storage for my nexus 10
Yes, I use a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and a SanDisk SDDR-121-A11M MobileMate Micro Memory Card Reader to use the SDCard I bought for my old Xoom. The OTG cable I use is the Motorola Camera Connection Kit for the Xoom, but I'm sure there are cheaper options out there.
I have also connected a flash drive and a powered external hard drive to my Nexus 10 with the same OTG adapter, but found I also needed a USB Y Cable to provide power to the USB port when the Nexus got below 90% battery power (a Nexus 10 dock would probably remove this need).
