I'm testing Organics Vigoro organic potting soil. I planted pumpkin seeds 3 weeks ago. They are growing slowly and are all yellow. What does this mean? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If your picture is where they are actually growing, and I don't see a normal flash shadow, it looks partially shaded. I would suggest it is water to sun imbalanced. Congratulations on having a curious eye that actually leads to doing an experiment. The pot looks very clean, perhaps you are doing this experiment inside, then you might be using tap water that has chlorine. |

The potting soil sucks. I used it earlier this year when I winter sowed a bunch of flowers and veggies and got the exact same result as you. Slow growth and yellow-y plants. That was the first and last time I'll ever use it. Rodney |
The material looks like it has a lot of woody material in it. This will have to be broken down before the nutrients will be available for plants. If you want a seed starting mix, I recommend Pro-Mix BX. |

A road sign blocked a street of the village of Lochwiller, eastern France, on July 04, 2013. Leaning houses, cracks on walls, damaged streets : the ground moves in Lochwiller, where worried inhabitants are afraid that their village becomes uninhabitable. At the origin of the phenomenon, a 100-meter (328-feet) geothermal drilling in a private garden, according to experts.

My next brew I fly-sparged (same as the past 15 years) and hit 75% as expected, then got a little distracted by a new 'assistant/home-brew drinker' and forgot Irish moss and the damn beer is cloudy again! understand that it still tastes phenomenal!

Remarkable little souvenir commemorating the historic World War One Battle of Verdun, a French victory finally, but with casualties estimated at somewhere between 700,000 to 976,000, one of the longest and most deadly battles in military history, period. So this piece was once carried with pride by a lucky survivor of this epic battle. Amazing.
This piece feels good in the hand, hefty and smooth. The brass case and engraved copper insert are worn and have a deep patina that develops only over time. And the best part is that the little wick-cap that is usually missing from these old lighters is present and still works as intended.
CONDITION is as shown. I believe this piece is in working condition, it might need a flint, I'm not sure, but is still certainly serviceable. The body measures 2 1/8" in diameter and the flint adds an additional 5/8".
Perfect for the history buff or Trench Art collector in your life... even if that's you. Enjoy!

I had just gotten home from work when my cell phone rang.
"K. It's Sarah. Listen. Jane and Tom broke up and I need you to get your ass to my apartment. Stat."
WHAT?!?! Things had been going so well! I was in shock. I didn't even change my clothes. I just grabbed my purse and headed over.
The scene at Sarah's wasn't pretty. Jane was out of her mind, sobbing uncontrollably and getting little bits of the story out in between. From what I gathered, Tom finally admitted that, not only did he lie about sleeping with his ex-girlfriend, he'd been seeing her behind Jane's back ever since.
This hurt me. I can't even imagine how much it hurt Jane. I'd always considered Tom a friend, and thought of him as a really solid, nice guy. To think that he would do this? Unthinkable.
What do you do when a friend is sobbing openly and not talking all that much? You tell her what she needs to hear. You refill her wine glass. You don't complain about the smoke when she lights up. You make sure there is a steady stream of tissues available. And after you've done all that, you still feel like you haven't done enough. Because you couldn't stop the sobbing. :(
"You know," I said, finally. "I hear Ryan is still available."
"I hate you," Jane said, but she giggled a little.
"What?" asked Sarah, confused.
Oh crap, Jane and I hadn't told Sarah about Jane's wild night out. So we told her.
"Jane!" Sarah was incredulous. "Acting like a big slut in a back alley?"
"I know, right?" Jane said.
"Girl after my own heart," Sarah said. We all laughed.
"I don't know what I'd do right now if I didn't have you two," Jane said. Her eyes welled up again. I went in for a hug.
"Don't," she said. "I'll just start blubbering all over again."
"You're allowed to."
"Look on the bright side," Sarah began. "Tom moved out when you two did that whole backpedaling thing. No one has to look for an apartment. This isn't going to be drawn out. It's a clean break.
My mind flashed back to the not-so-clean break Mike and I had.
The moving out (him) part took months. He kept claiming he was going to look at places, but I'm not sure if he ever did. He didnt have a job, so I don't know how he was planning to pay for one. And the places he claimed he did look at were all within a three-block radius. He came home one night and told me he'd just looked at a place on the next block.
"What's the matter?" I said. "You couldn't find anything in the building?"
He slept on the couch. More nights than not, he'd climb into bed with me. I was too emotionally drained to argue. We never had sex. We never slept. We just laid there in pain.
Finally, I called Marni and Luke and told them they had to take Mike. They did. I slept on the couch for the next month because I couldn't stand sleeping in my bed without him.
"K.? Are you okay?" Sarah was looking at me strangely.
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine," I said. "Jane, Sarah's right. It's a really good thing you don't have to deal with the living together stuff."

Full user review
"Best all around browser is making Firefox look stagnant"
Fast, great UI. Innovation is moving much faster than FF and IE. I expect most of the cons to be temporary. Makes the best use of screen space without sacrificing menu items and bookmarks.
No NoScript. This is huge drawback security wise. Don't buy all the hype about sandoxes. This browser is vulnerable in some places where FF+NoScript are safer. In addition the Adblocking extensions are not nearly as effective as the FF ones.
This is the best all around browser available. It's fast, has a great UI, great feature set, and is constantly advancing at a fast pace. If Mozilla doesn't step it up they will end up being the next IE. I have even found that dev variants on the Ubuntu are faster and more stable than Firefox.
Some essential extensions are missing or aren't very effective. They just so happen to be the most important extensions available on Firefox. From what I gather the APIs aren't in place to make those features effective, so they do loose points for that but I expect that to be temporary. I really hope it has nothing to do with a clash with internal business practices. That being said, the extension experience on Chrome is much more seamless, often not even requiring a browser restart. I can't honestly say Firefox is a better browser because of 2 third party extensions.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We personalized this by using blues/navy colors, by removing 1 of the courses (we're only having 3 courses, but there is room for 4 on the menu if needed), by doing rounded edges which I think adds to the slightly more informal modern look, and adding a 'save room for wedding cake' note on the back. I'm really looking forward to adding this to our table display."
"My menu/courses did not exactly match the template, the WPDivas designer did a great job of modifying the layout to fit my meal"
"I want to thank Juan , Takashi, Matt, Angela, Renee, Russel and everyone who helped me at wedding paper divas. Everyone who helped me was beyond patient, helpful and curtious. The end result was beautiful and when I had a problem , Weddingpaperdivas was very helpful. I would definitely, without a doubt use you again and absolutely recommend you to others. Thank you again, Ariela"
"I ordered these menu cards for my wedding on May 4, 2012. I received them in approx one week. I chose a custom color and it was perfect. The color was exactly as it appeared online. The paper weight is ideal. My guests found the tag line on the bottom very cute. I would definitely recommend these to any bride to be."
"We kept everything white with navy where we had to have color, and these were the perfect addition to our overall look! They were easy to fill out online and I had a small custom request was WPDivas handled with one proof. We placed these inside the napkin with a white rose on top. The picture is sort of dark but it gives you a good idea at least. LOVED the look and how pretty the tables were when everyone entered the reception room!"

Washington, D.C.—Leading library practitioners and experts discuss promises and "Faustian bargains" of ebooks in the new American Libraries digital supplement Digital Content: What's Next?
Hundreds Gather in D.C. for 39th Annual National Library Legislative Day
Washington, D.C.— More than 350 librarians and library supporters from across the country converged in Washington, D.C. from May 7–8, 2013, to meet with members of Congress to discuss key library issues during the American Library Association's 39th annual National Library Legislative Day. The event focused on supporting federal funding for national libraries.
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Thursday, the American Library Association (ALA) Office for Information Technology Policy released "U.S. Public Libraries and Broadband Technology Opportunities Program," a new report that details U.S. library engagement with the federal program.
In a statement released today, Simon & Schuster announced the launch of a one-year ebook pilot program with three New York library systems. In response to the news, American Library Association President Maureen Sullivan released the following statement:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Susan Crawford, telecommunications policy expert and former White House official, will share insights about national technology policy and implications for the library community at the 2013 American Library Association Annual Conference. Crawford will address conference attendees during the Washington Update session from 8:30 – 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2013, in the McCormick Place convention center.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—To help school librarians and educators better understand copyright law, author Carrie Russell will host the workshop "Copyright for K-12 Librarians and Educators" on April 11, 2013. Russell is also the director of the American Library Association's Program on Public Access to Information.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the American Library Association (ALA) Office for Information Technology Policy released the first national report detailing U.S. library engagement with the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP). The preliminary report highlights statewide library BTOP projects and improvements they have made to public access technology resources, digital literacy and workforce development.
Washington, DC – As the e-book environment continues to evolve and libraries are presented with a wide range of licensing conditions by publishers and vendors, it can be challenging for libraries to determine which ebook business models offer the best terms.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the American Library Association (ALA) recognized five libraries for offering cutting-edge technologies in library services, honoring programs in Boston, New York, Tucson, Ariz., Orlando, Fla. and Le Roy, N.Y.

Follow-Up Postings:
This sounds ideal for checking into concrete raising. Google "concrete raising" and see what you think. |
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't remember the term but I had seen that ages ago on "This Old House". Everyone I've asked about it around here (NC) either doesn't know what it is or says it's very expensive. I did Google and found one company listed in the Raleigh area concreteraisingnc.com It looks like RamJack in Durham does it too, although a guy that used to work for them is the who recommended the helicon piers. Concrete Raising Corp of America (CRC) has a website that says they are coming to this area soon. I'm not sure I want someone getting practice on my house though. I will give these guys a call and see what they say. Anyone have any experience with any of these companies? |
is it still sinking or has it stabilized. If it's stabilized then pour some leveling material on the existing pad and be done. |
sdello, It keeps sinking a little more each year. Now it tilts back so rain water collects in the far left corner and I think that keeps the cycle going. The front end is raised up so it would have to be ground down. And the steps are brick so we'd have to take those out anyway. OTOH, the footer for the steps goes down pretty far so they may not be able to get it with the drill and hose. I emailed both companies on their "contact us" page last night and haven't gotten a reply yet. That's not a good sign, especially in this economy. |
If the settlement has gone on for 18+ years and you are still settling more then you really need something to stabilize it like the piers. Not sure what they mean by "concrete raising" but it sounds like injecting something below to bring the concrete back to the correct grade. If you're still settling then by raising things back you're probably just starting from 0 all over again and in another 18 years you'll be 4 in. down again. |
Sdello, Yes, continued sinking is a concern. Our thinking is that the tilted slab is directing rain toward the house and is contributing to the problem. The hope is that when we get the steps and sidewalk sloped away from the house properly, it will stop sinking. They put appropriate gravel fill and footers in and the only place we have sinking is in the backfilled areas so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. In concrete raising (or mudjacking) they drill holes in the concrete and force cement slurry type stuff under the slab to raise it up and fill in any gaps. We haven't gotten a quote yet but if it's significantly less expensive, I'm thinking it's worth a shot. If nothing else it will buy us some more time. |

China agreed Saturday with the United States to scale back production of "super greenhouse gases" used in refrigerators and air conditioners in a joint bid to fight climate change.
That the United States and Europe have been following different energy policies over the past few decades won't come as a surprise. However, according to one researcher, their divergence – with the US leading 'the shale ...

Germany saw increased emissions in greenhouse gases last year due to more coal and gas usage while the country seeks to develop its renewable energy sources, officials said Monday.

The fractious debate at UN climate talks in Doha points to a rocky road ahead to a new, global 2020 deal on saving the Earth from calamitous global warming, observers say.

Quirky Style Showdown: 'Glee' Character Rachel Berry vs. Zooey Deschanel (PHOTOS)
If Lea Michele's Glee character Rachel Berry walked the red carpet, we think there'd be some style crossovers between her and New Girl star Zooey Deschanel.
Zooey and the character of Rachel have such similar fashion statements that one may wonder if the 500 Days of Summer star has a side job of styling the Glee cast. From knee-highs and tights to headbands and bows, these two have mastered the quirky-preppy style.
So throw on some argyle, polka dots and/or stripes, and check out our style showdown between Rachel Berry and the real-life fashionista Zooey. Who do you think dons this look best: Rachel or Zooey? Cast your vote in the poll and play fashion critic to these quirky characters in the comments!
Zooey, 31, recently commented on her trademark style, admitting to Allure magazine's February issue: "I'm bangs and eyes. It's who I am. There have been periods when I've grown my bangs out, but I always cut them back, so it's like, why go through the trouble?"
So how can you snag Rachel and/or Zooey's look? It's probably one of the easier styles to obtain. Here's some key pieces we would suggest:
- Cardigan- This is a key piece to achieve a preppy look, and an affordable one as well. If you're really thrifty, you can spot a cardigan for under $25 like this one from Forever 21. Though this one is floral and very Rachel-esque, solid colors are probably best if you're looking to mix and match.
- Tights and/or knee-high socks - Zooey rarely dons the red carpet without a pair of tights and Rachel Berry wouldn't dare pair her school skirts and oxfords with anything but tights or knee-high socks.
- Headbands- Simple headbands can dress up an outfit instantly and can be found at most drug stores. (note, Rachel wrote a song on Glee titled "My Headband")
- Bows- Any sort of bow you can find will transform your style into a flirtier number. Whether it be on a belt, blouse or headband, bows are a must to master this look. This bow-baring Urban Outfitters sweater is so their style!
- Miniskirt- A solid miniskirt paired with black opaque tights is probably the trademark look of both Rachel and Zooey.

Imagine if you had a direct connection with thousands of readers who loved reading your books. And imagine if those readers eagerly awaited the launch of your next book. How would that direct relationship with your readers change your writing career? How would you feel knowing that every time you started a new book project, you already had people excited to buy it and ready to recommend it to others?
In Your First 1000 Copies, seasoned book marketing expert Tim Grahl walks you through how successful authors are using the online marketing tools to build their platform, connect with readers and sell more books.
Tim has worked with over 100 different authors from top best sellers such as Hugh Howey, Daniel Pink, Charles Duhigg, Chip and Dan Heath, Ramit Sethi, and Pamela Slim to authors just get started on their first writing project. He has worked with authors across all fiction and non-fiction genres.
The result is Your First 1000 Copies and the Connection System, a plan that every author can immediately start using. The plan looks like this:
This is a system that any author can immediately put in place to start building their platform. Whether you're a seasoned author looking to step into the new publishing landscape, or you're a brand new author, Your First 1000 Copies will give you the tools to connect with readers and sell more books.

"Essential for Contemporary Authors!"
Great content about how authors can take their careers (and, by extension, their lives) into their own hands. Tim's advice is both practical and revolutionary. Very empowering!
"Lean and Meaty"
This book is lean because the author does not endlessly repeat platitudes and give vague words of advice. Many audio books on promoting the sale of new books sound like they are selling themselves instead of giving concrete actionable advice. They are fluffed out to book length when the net information contained in them could be stated in a single paragraph.
This book is meaty because it is full of concise factual advice laid out in a logical manner. The author outlines the tools and plans that the reader can put into action immediately. He also tells the reader what actions would not be worth their time.
This question applies more to works of fiction.
Tim Grahl narrated his own book which works well because he understands his own material better than a hired narrator.
This question may apply more to fiction.
I have ordered the paperback version of this book to use as a reference copy.
"A good audiobook narrated by the author"
Unlike some people, I enjoy nonfiction audiobooks narrated by the author. It gives the book a flair that professional narrators can't. After all, the author knows best how to express the ideas.
That's the case here, as the author does a great job of expressing himself. I've listened to him in seminars and podcasts, and his voice is consistent.
Content-wise, this is the best book on marketing out there. If you're looking for something to listen to on the way to work, you can't do any better, especially if you're trying to focus on growing your mailing list.
Also, the bonus interview at the end with Tim was totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. I almost missed it, though.
Performance-wise, this could have been better, but that's to be expected from an author-narrated book. There were a few run-on sentences and choppy reads that could have been better. They weren't too distracting, but they were noticeable.
This was a great audiobook, and I'd definitely listen to it again.
"Practical Advice for Your Marketing Your Book"
Your First 1000 Copies guides you through the process of developing your fan base. Tim emphasizes the importance of creating an email list. Its okay to manage your marketing and launch through social media but you want to hook people and get them on to an email list. Check this book out if you want to extend your reach and provide more value from your book.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

This beer had almost another 5 months to mellow. I cracked one over the weekend...wow. This turned out great, I will brew this again! Thanks again Surfer!
Great! I'm glad this turned out well for you. I am thinking of brewing it again soon as well. Any changes you would make since you were able to save some bottles to age? Happy Holidays.
To be honest, the only addition would be a bit of Biscuit malt simply for a bit more color. Other than that, not a thing! I'll probably convert this to all grain in Beersmith next time and age it for a bit longer in the bottles. Thanks for the Holiday greetings, same to you! I plan to have a nice quiet Christmas this year, I'm not working and I'm staying home and enjoying some homebrews!
DrinkinSurfer, thanks for posting this recipe. I will be brewing this on January 2nd. This will be my 3rd batch ever and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll keep you posted on the outcome. Cheers!
Didje, hope you had a good brew day. Let me know how it goes for you.
Any news Didje? And Erie, if you are still following this I just ordered the ingredients to to an improved(hopefully) AG version of this. It should be a bit bigger and darker but still within the style at over ~1.072 OG and 17 SRM. It looks like this: 2 row - 13 lbs Special B- 1 lb Crystal 60 - 4 oz Biscuit- 2 oz Clear Candi Sugar - 1 lb Saaz 4.5%- 1 oz at 60 min and 1 oz at 10 min WLP500 I will probably post this recipe officially after it gets brewed for quality assurance.
So here are the news... Beer has been bottled for just just over 3 weeks now. Tried a couple so far. It has a somewhat strong banana smell which points me that it might have fermented a bit too hot. But I really like the taste, it's a nice mix of spices and a bit of fruit. This really came out as a 'Belgian' tasting beer. I will brew it again for sure! Thanks again, DrinkinSurfer!
Glad to hear you like it Didje. The WLP500 has lots of esters so you may not have gotten it too hot. I just made a starter with it that I kept in the mid-high 60's and it smells like straight banana. Try to be patient with letting some of your batch age, this one hits its prime down the road a bit. I'm happy that you are enjoying it and I would like to know how it progresses for you.
Just bottled this recipe tonight. I'm curious as to how long you recommend before cooling and drinking? Having spent lots of time in Belgium/ Germany in the military am a huge Belgian beer fan! You wouldn't have come across a Leffe Brown or Rochefort 8 or 10 recipe anywhere?

In the spirit of the Holy Month and inspired by the generosity and philanthropic approach of the UAE leadership, du has donated Dhs2.5m to the UAE Water Aid campaign launched by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
The donation is an extension of du's continuous efforts to drive sustainability within the UAE and beyond. Launched to coincide with and starting on the first day of Ramadan, the UAE Water Aid campaign will provide more than 5 million people worldwide with access to fresh drinking water. du's contributions to UAE Water Aid will help 100,000 people to get access to clean water, as it will be be used in coordination with international organisations, the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) and UAE embassies, to dig wells and provide water pumps to areas that require water purification equipment.
Ahmad bin Byat, Chairman, du, said, "Water is the very essence of life, and is something that we take for granted, while others are less fortunate. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's UAE Water Aid initiative is a noble cause that will allow us to alleviate the water situation in less fortunate countries, contributing to saving millions of lives around the world by giving them access to clean water. We are proud, as an Emirati company, to support this cause, which will lead to more sustainable communities that have the potential to flourish and grow, echoing the progress of the UAE itself. As His Highness Sheikh Mohammed inspiringly said, 'the UAE was built upon the eternal principle of doing good deeds in the world, and we will continue in the footsteps of the founding fathers who laid this charitable approach'."
Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills 3.6 million person annually, due to dehydration and diseases carried in unclean water – 90% of these are children under the age of five. Hours are spent by women and children collecting water daily. Providing clean, easily accessible water to communities in need will not only improve mortality rates, but it will give children the opportunity to attend school and women the chance to work for an income, contributing to the overall growth and sustainability of their community.
Osman Sultan, CEO, du, said, "There are many privileges that we enjoy, living in the UAE, which can make it easy to forget that life is more difficult for those less privileged elsewhere in the world. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed has led the way on many visionary initiatives, and we laud him for his continued support of the global community. Civilizations are always found around water, as it nourishes life and connects people. It is therefore natural that telecoms would be among the first to support the campaign, as we build sustainable communications channels to connect people and develop communities. In helping communities beyond the UAE's borders to grow, we are sharing a positive example for our own community to follow – one that is driven by humanitarianism and philanthropic gestures, modelled after the generosity and compassion of the UAE leadership."
Hala Badri, Executive Vice President, Brand and Communications, du, said, "The Holy Month of Ramadan is a time for us to consider the needs of others, and to seek ways in which we can alleviate their suffering. We thank His Highness Sheikh Mohammed for his guidance and for the launch of the UAE Water Aid campaign, which draws attention to the plight of those less fortunate around the world. It is our honour to support this campaign."

There are some awful ideas out there. Real stinkers. But many times absolutely ridiculous-sounding, bottom of the barrel sludge can become the creative equivalent of a vaccine – a moldy concept that sparks a creative cure.

Pakistan spy: US should talk to the Taliban's Mullah Omar
To succeed in Afghanistan, the US must negotiate a deal with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, says retired Brigadier Sultan Amir Tarar, a former Pakistan intelligence officer. He trained Mullah Omar to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
Rawalpindi, Pakistan
The U.S. must negotiate a political settlement to the Afghanistan war directly with Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar because any bid to split the insurgency through defections will fail, said the Pakistani former intelligence officer who trained the insurgent chief.
Omar is open to such talks, asserted retired Brigadier Sultan Amir Tarar, a former operative of Pakistan's premier spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI). He is popularly known as Colonel Imam, whose exploits have gained him near-legendary status in central Asia.
"If a sincere message comes from the Americans, these people (the Taliban) are very big-hearted. They will listen. But if you try to divide the Taliban, you'll fail. Anyone who leaves Mullah Omar is no more Taliban. Such people are just trying to deceive," said Tarar, a tall, imposing man with a long gray beard and white turban, in an interview with McClatchy.
His comments came as the U.S. and its NATO allies appear increasingly anxious to find a path toward a political resolution to the more than eight-year-old war whose escalating human and financial costs are fueling growing popular opposition.

Spray on Polycrylic
Rags and Brushes
Foam Brush
Brooke started by staining the top with two coats of Rustoleum Ultimate Stain in Golden Oak. She also stained one coat inside the toybox.
She then painted the bottom part with two coats of Olympic No-VOC Ultimate Interior Paint in Semigloss.
Brooke wanted to soften up the bright white, but only subtly and wanted to keep the white nice and crisp. But she thought this was a little too crisp for her liking.
Brooke then sanded the edges of the false drawer fronts with sandpaper to expose edges.
She also sanded the legs and side trim.

ProsThe team; it really is a great environment with so much energy & ambition. We are all focused, & trying to achieve the same things, as a team. The two offices work really well together, & the senior management is knowledgable, supportive & approachable - I can't fault them
The opportunities; career opportunities here are amazing, if you do well, you will progress. But also, working for Clinical Professionals mean that as you progress, you learn "the best way" to work in recruitment. The quality standards are very high for the 360 recruiter, but also as you work your way up the ladder, leadership skills & management styles are taught to you that are of equally high standardsConsRecent reviews on glassdoor that are based on untruths & come from disgruntled former employees that are simply "throwing a mood".
Advice to ManagementAdviceKeep doing what you're doing. This business is only going to get better & better, I can see it happening. It's already developed so much since I joined
