In this ad for Phillips ProTouch Steamer, Yaroslav Maltsev re-creates traditional Dutch paintings using a bed sheet as his canvas. Entitled the 'Art of Ironing,' three intricate portraits come to life as Yaroslav creases the sheet ever so carefully. With every crease a new piece of the image is revealed until the entire piece is finished.
After each portrait is complete, Yaroslav uses the Phillips ProTouch Steamer to flatten the design creases and return to a blank canvas (and perfectly pressed bed sheet). Once flattened, he begins again on a new one showing the effectiveness of Phillips' ironing aids in achieving neat, pressed sheets and garments.
In this time lapse video, which is accompanied by music from Arcangelo Corelli, the mundane chore of ironing morphs into an artistic method few could've seen coming.

I'm planning on doing about 25, 5 gallon pepper containers this season. Say i need about 4 gal soil mix in each one more or less. so 100 gal total mix. grit mix = 33 gal each 511 mix = 14gal per part This doesn't count the lime / gypsum and/or other ferts.. Does it really cost that much? am i doing something wrong? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are probably shopping the most expensive sites possible. Look for bulk providers in your area where no shipping is required. You may have to buy more material than you need, but still save money. Al |

i have a couple nurseries in my area otherwise don't know where to look. i should look for farm supply places? |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Jan 5, 14 at 13:41
Yes, farm supply, turf supply (sports fields, golf courses, et cetera), and landscaping supply. Repti-Bark is far to expensive to use on the scale you're considering, especially when you account for the product loss after screening the bark for the Gritty Mix. If you're doing annual or vegetable gardening, I strongly encourage the 5-1-1. Josh |
Jon: Forget the Reptibark. The particles are actually too big for the gritty mix and partially composted fines are better for the 5-1-1. I agree that 5-1-1 would be better for your purposes. Look for pine bark fines at a nursery, garden center, landscaper or a big box store. Sometimes it's sold as a soil conditioner or mulch. There are at least a couple nurseries in Oklahoma that people have mentioned as having them in past threads: Marcum's and Springer's. You need about 14 cubic feet of mix. It costs me less than $50 to make that much 5-1-1. Two cubic feet of coarse perlite cost $17 and two cf of peat costs about $8 from Home Depot. I pay less than $4 for a 2 cf bag of pine bark fines from a local mulch company, or about $20 for the 10 cf you would need need. Follow the link below for a discussion of making 5-1-1 on the Oklahoma Forum. Maybe someone there can give you more info. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Oklahoma forum
I am also planing to do about 20 pepper plants in pot. Just consider another way/option to cut your costs down: I have come to the belief that 5 gal. container for most pepper plants is unnecessarily too big. In average 2.5 gallon container should do : some might need just a ONE gallon pot. Only a very large variety MIGHT need a 4-5 gal. container. I will keep my average pot size at 2.5 gallons. This should save a bunch on potting mix, container cost and fertilizers. |
Keep in mind that the "gallon" in nursery pots is actually 0.7 gallons. And, assuming again that you are in Oklahoma with long hot summers, the smaller your container, the more often you will have to water and the more vulnerable your plants will be to being knocked over by high winds. |
Thanks Ohiofem, i was going to check ace hardware 50 mins away, or local nurseries (on limited winter hours). I will read that thread and see if there is another place close to me. I thought about just going for the 3gal bags as they are a bit cheaper so i bought some of those as well to see how much difference there is, certainly going bigger doesn't hurt the plant just makes me have to make more mix lol. i'm probably going to line them up along 80ft of south facing privacy fence so i don't think they will knock over. |

I found Happy Gro 2cu for 6.40$ is that a decent product / price ? |
There were some discussions about Hapi-Gro pine bark mulch on this forum, one of which is linked below. Notice the post by ltruett in Houston. The photo at the top of his message is not a very good product but the one at the bottom is. You could use either product, but you might want to cut back on the peat moss if you used the first one. You need to look at what's in the bag before you buy it. Mulch products sold by big box stores vary widely from location to location and even bag to bag. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Is this good for pine bark fines?
- Posted by JonOklahoma (My Page) on Wed, Jan 8, 14 at 19:27
found a thread after searching about a nursery that carries it in my area, i'll ask that guy / call that nursery |
I agree. The Happy Grow mulch sown in Ltruett's top picture has too much sap wood. You want bark not sap wood. Keep in mind that all of these nuggets are sold as mulch in landscaping not for potting. That is why they are inexpensive ( $4/ 1.5 cu.ft) and not quite consistent. |
So the 3 places around me all have the hapi grow composted pine fines, looks good as a soil amendment in my flower beds but not what we've been talking about for pine bark pieces (lots of fine material). I did find another place an hour away that has rexius Douglas fir bark 1/4-1/8 in pieces they are pricing that for me atm. the search continues |
I think sometimes people confuse the two mixes. It is OK to have lots of fine material in your composted pine bark for the 5-1-1 mix. You do not need to screen out anything. The Hapi-Gro pine bark in the photo on that thread (attached here) is acceptable, if not ideal: I don't see any significant amount of sapwood. I have used PBF like that for my summer container vegetables by leaving out the peat (so it's 5-0-1), and in some cases, doubling the amount of perlite (5-0-2). Seysonn: I wish you would make it clear that you are offering an opinion that has no basis in experience with the 5-1-1 mix or growing vegetables in containers. It makes it difficult for new people when you chime in on every discussion as if you were an expert. |

It makes it difficult for new people when you chime in on every discussion as if you were an expert. (Ohiofem) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't know what are you talking about ? You did not quot me !! I don't consider anybody an "EXPERT " here, that includes me and YOU. This is a "forum". I hope you know the meaning of "forum". What everybody says in most part is his/her view based on his/her experience, knowledge and understanding. So take it Easy Lady ! BTW: To my knowledge, the medium pictured in your last post is NOT bark and as far as I know it is not what intended for in 511 formula. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Jan 11, 14 at 18:36
Seysonn, the 5-1-1 mix actually does call for *composted* bark for the best results. As Ohio mentioned, the product in that image is "acceptable" but not "ideal," given how composted it is. The more composted or aged the bark, the more moisture retention - thus, one might need to reduce or eliminate the "peat" component entirely, and increase the perlite fraction. I use *uncomposted* bark in my own 5-1-1, and that probably confuses people. I just prefer something more durable, longer-lasting, less moisture retentive, and with greater structure. Josh |
- Posted by JonOklahoma (My Page) on Sat, Jan 11, 14 at 19:46
i think thats a decent idea, i can just get the composted pine bark and not use peat instead using some perlite / napa dry stuff |
Hi Josh, I have seen most people (here, CG forum) are chasing and use barks that is about 3/8" size. But isn't the purpose of using bark for good drainage? If I wanted more moisture retention, just would add more peat moss. Here is a quote from Al's description of 5 -1-1 mix >>>> The 5:1:1 mix: 5 parts pine bark fines, dust - 3/8 (size is important EDIT: One more thing I should clarify here. |

The bark should be from dust size up to 1/2 inch, with a healthy range of particles in between. The purpose of the bark is mostly as a relatively inexpensive filler which *also* happens to have structure, durability, a favorable pH, et cetera. Josh |
Hi Josh, I agree. The barks that comes in the bag is not consistently one size. It has particle sizes ranging from dust to 1/2" nuggets( though more nuggets than dust). I have also found some pine bark mulch that is very very fine, with less than 25% piece of it about 1/4" max. So I will mix the two to get a more finer structure. So, anyway. I am just a nubie to this(511) but I think that I understand the logic behind it. I do not like the commercial potting mixes(like MG) they are costly and either stay soggy or get dry and cake up. |
Jon, I'm new to this as well. I'm in the Tulsa area and just mixed a big batch of 5:1:1 using Al's big batch recipe. If you do the math it is closer to 3:1:1 to 4.5:1:1. I bought my supplies at HD (pine bark mulch $3/2CF, peat moss $10/3CF) and Southwood Nursery (perlite $25/4CF). So for 100 gal (13CF) it would cost about $31-35 with sales tax (10%) for just he mix. The fertilizer is not cheap. I bought a 50lb bag of Osmocote Pro at Southwoods for $125 plus tax. They had smaller bags at 10lb for $27. The lime costs $4 for a small bag at Southwoods or $5 for a large bag at Southerlands (Ag store). Hope this helps. Van |

I have a question: What if I just skip the perlite ? For annual outdoor plants a bark based mix should have enough drainage and aeration. I find perlite a bit to expensive. |

Melrose Place to Wisteria Lane: Real Life Love
Leighton auditions, hoping to be cast in a pilot of next year's hit. Savant aspires to be Gavin MacLeod, moving smoothly from one long-running show to another. No wild fantasies here, I note.
"We're circus people," Leighton replies.
They're more like prime-time gypsies, I think, aware that even the biggest TV payday isn't a permanent resting place. But then, they've been here before.
Remember Melrose Place? It was created for the big brothers and sisters of the tweens who adored Beverly Hills, 90210. At 9 p.m., Family Hour ended and Anything Goes began. Heather Locklear took her pleasure on desks and beds alike. Her rival as a hottie? Sydney, the vixen played by Leighton. Savant also was on Melrose Place, as Matt Fielding, the gay guy— a very brave part for an actor to take back in the mid '90s. Not that he hesitated. "I always wanted to be a character actor," he says, "and I thought this was an exceptional role." Plus, the job had a large upside—great visibility, a regular paycheck, and a growing friendship with Laura Leighton.
Both Savant and Leighton were going through the throes of professional success and personal distress. For Savant, that meant the end of his marriage and finding himself, at 32, the custodial parent of two small girls. For the 27-year-old Leighton, it was the end of her high-profile romance with another Melrose Place actor.
You know how the story goes from here. One day two close friends looked at each other with fresh eyes and realized they were destined to be lovers. "It was like, 'Where have you been?'" Leighton recalls.

Hi Kitty: Chicago Peace was first found at Cantigny Rose Park, 15 minutes from me. Here's a quote: "Be sure to look for the Chicago Peace Rose, which is a sport mutation of the famous Peace Rose that was discovered in the gardens at Cantigny in 1962." Chicago Peace's bloom is HUGE. I love your many-petals look. It's a nice color-combo with Sugar Moon. |
Great looking bloom Kitty! :-) |
And Chicago's stems and leaves even look like a camellia! verry pretty. |
As always, one of my favorite HTs. So changeable, but always gorgeous. Nice photos too. Kate |

Compare VersionsRPM - The Red Hat Package Manager
updated Jul 9, 2008 6:22 pm | 4,499 views
Revision as of 03:17, 17 June 2008IntroductionPrimarily for Linux distributions, the Red Hat Package Manager is not only for Red Hat. It is imitated by many other Distributions ("distros"), and, for a new Linux user, faced with a complex installation of an unfamiliar operating system and software packages running in an environment totally alien to Microsoft Windows, where when there is a point of being bemused by a new action involving computer configuration, a friendly "wizard" appears to take over the brain-breaking elements of measuring, counting and cataloging hardware components all of which are needed for configuration and install. Frankly, when faced with installing a Linux distro for the first time, a neophyte user will unlikely have the screen resolution and other elements of the hardware of the computer on which the software is about to go. So any automation would be welcome. RPM fills that need to a certain extent. At any rate, it has stood the test of being used for Red Hat, subsequently Fedora, and many other distros, so it has earned the reputation of being a word which means in its simplest most generic form, 'a package manager,' which will install on many different pieces of computer hardware, calculating things in the background simply and easily. Obviously, this is not the case for Gentoo, but then Gentoo is built for people who want to have the last word in the way everything is configured and installed, with no intervention by any guess-making wizard! |

text: So I built a stir plate, and I tested it with a small chain of nickel-coated neodymium magnets as my stir bar. Everything seemed to work just fine, so I ordered a teflon coated stir bar, but it turns out the one I got is a bit too large and gets thrown pretty quickly. The chain of magnets worked fine, so I'm wondering, will a nickel-coated stir bar (vs one of the teflon coated ones) have any adverse effects on a yeast starter?

Pain or discomfort that travels along the sciatic nerve is called sciatica. The sciatic nerves run from your lower back, down through each hip and buttock and into the back part of each leg. It usually affects only one side. Sciatica is often painful, but rarely causes serious or permanent damage. Most sciatica is caused by inflammation, which may be related to an underlying condition. Most often, it can be diagnosed and treated conservatively.
Sciatica pain may feel dull, aching, or burning. It is usually worse when sitting or standing for long periods of time. Sometimes it starts gradually, worsens at night, and is aggravated by motion. Sneezing, coughing, laughing, lifting, bending, or having difficulty with bowel movements may increase the pain. It also can cause tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in the affected leg.
The pain often results from pressure or irritation to the sciatic nerve. The pressure or irritation can have several causes, including a narrowing of the area in the lower back that the spinal cord passes through (a condition called lumbar spinal stenosis); a displaced, or herniated disk in the lower spine; pregnancy; obesity; and a breakdown of the disks (a condition called degenerative disk disease).
An exam by your health care provider is important to help determine if you have sciatica. He or she may check your reflexes, foot and leg strength, and flexibility. Blood tests, X-rays, or MRI scans also may be recommended to help determine what's causing the condition.
Unless you have diabetes or nerve damage, apply cold to your lower back for the first day or so. Doing this for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, 3 to 4 times a day may help relieve the pain. Then, alternating heat and cold may be soothing. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever if your health care provider says it's OK. Your health care provider may also recommend steroid injections, physical therapy, or surgery.
For most people, sciatica usually goes away on its own within 6 weeks of self-care. See your health care provider if the pain gets worse and it's difficult to do daily activities.
These are reasons to seek emergency help:
You have sudden loss of bowel or bladder control; lack of mobility; or numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs or feet.
You have numbness or tingling in a saddle pattern (the area of your body that would be touching the saddle if you were riding a horse).

Ask someone who knows Mike Tolbert what hes like, and the response always is the same.
Tolbert, whose Panthers will host New England Monday night in the teams most significant home game since the 2008 season, leads Carolina in touchdowns and nicknames. He also leads them in the category of Guy Most Likely To Make Another Panther Smile. Every time you ask someone about Tolbert, that person starts to grin before he says anything.
The Panthers running back is a blocky 5-foot-9 and 250 pounds. His shoulders, waist and thighs all seem to be the same thickness. He weighed 120 pounds as a 7-year-old growing up in Georgia, when because of his weight he said he had to play in a Pop Warner league with 11- and 12-year-olds. And I started for that team, too, Tolbert said.
Having the build of a human bowling ball another one of his nicknames coupled with the fact he thoroughly enjoys back-and-forth teasing makes Tolbert the butt of one good-natured joke after another. Of his more than half-a-dozen nicknames (see the chart accompanying this story for a full list), I ask him what hes called most often in the locker room.
Fat boy, Tolbert said, laughing. Cam Newton calls me Tub of Goo. But its all in fun. I am a little plump guy. And I can give back the jokes just as fast as they come.
Make no mistake this isnt a case of bullying. This is the way grown men on equal footing like to bust each others chops, especially when they are on a team that has won five games in a row and everyone is feeling good. And Tolbert is feeling especially good these days he has scored a team-high six touchdowns in 2013. Better yet, and he and his wife had their second child, a healthy boy named Major, on Thursday in Charlotte.
In a stunning development, baby Major weighed a modest 7 pounds, 7 ounces. Tolberts teammates, of course, were expecting a 15-pound baby.
The last Carolina player I remember evoking the exact same response in teammates as Tolbert does was the late Sam Mills on the first three Panthers teams. The linebacker was an easy target. He wasnt fat, but he was short, old, balding and couldnt see very well.
But much like Tolbert who accidentally gave San Francisco safety Eric Reid a concussion last week on one collision Mills could hit like nobodys business. And no Panther ever ultimately was afforded more respect inside the locker room than Mills.
A million on the table
In a backfield more crowded than ever now that Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams are both healthy, Tolbert has simply been playing too well to be benched. Since he plays both running back positions and is Carolinas best short-yardage back, Tolbert actually got the most offensive snaps of any running back in Carolinas 10-9 win against San Francisco Sunday (Tolbert had 36, Stewart 22 and Williams 19).
Said Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula: Mike is a lot of fun to be around. Hes got a great football mind. Hes got a great attitude every day. Hes real positive. Energetic. Its been easy as a coordinator because hes so versatile. He can play fullback and halfback. He can be basically a third tight end. He can be your third-down back. He can run guys over. He can make you miss more so than you think or at least that defenses think. And hes got real good hands.
All of that comes from a player who was modestly recruited in high school and undrafted out of college. Tolbert was raised just outside of Atlanta in Douglasville, Ga. My father was never around, Tolbert said. So Ive always wanted to be the dad that I didnt have.
Tolbert loved growing up in the South, though. When he became a free agent following the 2011 season in San Diego, the Chargers wanted him back. But he wanted to get back to the South and proved it by taking a contract worth $1 million less to come to Carolina rather than stay in San Diego.
After being in San Diego four seasons, I had seen the culture, the fast pace, the California lifestyle, Tolbert said. I didnt mind it, but I also didnt want to raise my kids in that atmosphere (Tolbert and his wife also have a 2-year-old daughter). So that was the main reason I took less money to come here.
Vulture and Big Meezy
In high school, Tolbert was mostly a linebacker. He said Georgia Tech offered him a full scholarship, Georgia offered him a partial one and some other ACC schools showed interest but ultimately didnt pull the trigger. He ended up at Coastal Carolina, playing four years in Myrtle Beach, S.C., with respectable but not eye-popping statistics. They called him The Big Meezy there, and he was no fun to tackle back then, either.
Said Tolbert: My college coach at Coastal, every time Id do something crazy, hed say, There goes Meezy again, running through people.
But playing for such a small school usually doesnt lead to getting drafted, and it didnt for Tolbert. Instead, he made the Chargers as a free agent.
Rivera, the Chargers defensive coordinator for most of Tolberts time in San Diego, watched with approval on the other side of the ball as Tolbert worked himself after a couple of years into one of the Chargers primary backs. Tolbert scored 25 touchdowns his final three years at San Diego and earned the fantasy-football moniker The Vulture, because he was always swooping in at the last minute to score from the 1 after somebody else had gotten the ball close to the goal line.
In San Diego, Tolbert sustained the first two of the three concussions he said he has had in his NFL career - the third came in Carolina last season. Tolberts bruising style of play lends itself to vicious collisions. That was one reason he went over to check on Reid after the 49ers defensive back got hurt last week.
I was like, man, Ive been on the other side of a hit like that, too, Tolbert said. I went over, said a prayer for him and tried to make sure he was all right. Then I gave him a hug and told him to get healthy.
Broken promises
Tolberts first year at Carolina was decent, but some in the locker room felt he was under-utilized by then-offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. His best game in 2012 was his last, when he scored three touchdowns all from a yard out against New Orleans in the Panthers season-ending win.
Tolbert said during the Panthers 2013 training camp in Spartanburg that last year was a lot of broken promises.
That theory was expanded on by wide receiver Steve Smith in a conference call with Seattle-area reporters before Week 1 this season. Smith said the Panthers occasionally had been hurt by Chudzinski trying to call creative plays because Chudzinski really was positioning himself to just apply for that head coaching job.
At times, we got cute, Smith said on that call. We did things that werent necessarily us, like the under-utilizing of Mike Tolbert.
Last week I asked Tolbert to expand on the broken promises comment.
Im not a selfish guy by any means, Tolbert said. When I said broken promises, I meant the team as a whole, not myself. I could care less about running the ball. If I run the ball twice and DeAngelo runs it 25 times and we rush for 150 yards, Im happy.
But it was broken promises in the fact that I thought we last year, at times, we tried to do too much. Instead of making the simple play, we wanted to get cute.... And we talked about that with our offensive coordinator. And DeAngelo talked about it with him. And some of the wide receivers talked about it with him. But things happen and you have to move on.
Chudzinski was hired as the Cleveland Browns head coach after the season. Shula was promoted to offensive coordinator and installed a more traditional offense, one in which Newton runs the ball less and the running backs carry it more.
Im going to dance
Tolbert is always doing something in the locker room. He does impersonations. He teases. He preens.
Hes hilarious, offensive tackle Jordan Gross said.
Said Rivera: Theres no nonsense to who he is on the football field. The nonsense comes in off the field. He is really good in the locker room.... The thing I like about him too, he can sense when guys are getting tight. Hes been around successful football teams, and when guys get tight, he has a way of making everybody laugh and kind of relax for a little bit. He really is a good teammate.
Tolbert began his career as a special-teamer and said he probably will end it that way, too. For now, though, he is 27 years old and in the prime of his career. The Panthers picked up his option in the offseason - he will make $2.3million in 2014 and $2.4million in 2015. His spontaneous touchdown dances will be around awhile (my favorite was the time he pretended to bowl in the end zone in homage to his human bowling ball nickname).
Tolbert went on the field on a kickoff earlier this year and, while awaiting it, started dancing again. Like Jake Delhomme and Newton, you always know when he is having a good time on the field.
You have to have fun, Tolbert said. Embrace the moment. Every time I step on the field on Sunday, its like, You never know. This could be the last one. You cant take it too seriously, you know. You get serious, you stress up. You stress up, you mess up. You mess up, you get cut. I dont want to get cut.
So while Im out there, Im going to go ahead and enjoy it. Im going to laugh. Im going to talk trash.
And when the music comes on, Im going to dance.

Object Culture
Here's one of those design concepts sure to make the blog rounds, even though it's more neat-looking than practical. The "Bottlass"—meant to be a portmanteau of "bottle" and "glass," but perhaps they ought have gone with the less titillating "Glottle"—in essence turns beverage packaging design on its head. The idea is that a glass container shaped like an inverted wine glass, minus the base, is sealed and shipped with an aluminum base nested into the bottom. After purchase, the consumer is meant to remove the base, flip the container, open the top via a pull-tab, and insert the glass stem into the base, via "screw tab joining," as per the description—can anyone tell me what that means?—or "forced insertion."
While other websites have claimed these designs are "manufactured in Korea," this is clearly a concept that isn't in production. And here's why I don't think it's practical.
User Experience: Opening the Thing
Imagine holding any of these shapes in your hand, and trying to pull the seal off of that wide mouth without spilling any of the contents. Think you could do it? How much concentration and time would it require versus opening a bottle top or popping a tab on a can?
User Experience: Drinking From It
Looking at the renderings above, I'm not convinced that the hole in the base—whether threaded or press-fit—is deep enough to provide the stability necessary to securely support the stem.
No Functional Benefit to Two-Piece Design
Perhaps most damning is that there's simply no functional benefit conferred by this design beyond the novelty. For example, you've probably seen those cheapie screw-stem plastic wineglasses that look like this:
Because the connection point is midway between the bowl and stem, this breaks down to nearly half of its height, and you can stick the inverted stem inside the bowl during shipping. That provides a benefit. In contrast, the Bottlass is nearly the exact same height assembled as it is disassembled.
Since the Bottlass' point-top, glass design is too fragile to be pallet-stacked like say, plastic bottles...
...it would of course have to be shipped like wine bottles, with a cardboard grid insert like this:
Which begs the question: If there's virtually no height difference between the assembled and disassembled versions, and it will require a cardboard support grid, why not just ship the thing assembled in the first place? For that matter, why not just ship it as one contiguous piece of glass?
Lastly, these containers have to be filled on a production line. On filling lines, containers either have flat bottoms that ride on a belt...
...or they have collared necks that can be "grabbed" by tabs that support the bottle in space as it's filled:
The flat-bottom option is out here. And as you can see with the tabs in the photo of the green bottles above, the tabs are typically flat, simply-shaped pieces of metal, because when you need 100,000 tabs you want to keep the cost of each down. While it would be possible to create some kind of compound-curved tabs or nesting stands that could hold each Bottlass securely in place on the line during filling, I can't see a company swallowing the extra cost when there's no appreciable benefit.

Investors file suit as SEC opens investigation of Facebook's IPO
POSTED: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 - 4:00pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 - 4:04pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Last week's Facebook frenzy on Wall Street has quickly turned to frustration and astonishment.
"It's the worst IPO I've seen in 30 years. I've never seen anything like this actually," says CNBC host Jim Cramer.
NASDAQ blames a software glitch for the initial delays in the stock's offering on Friday, and after an under-whelming showing on that first day, the share price of Facebook stock has tumbled.
"Everybody thought there was tons of demand, but now we know that wasn't the case," says the Wall Street Journal's Shayndi Raice.
That could be because of reports that investment banks guiding Facebook's IPO process shared
negative information about the company's financial outlook with selected major clients before the stock hit the market.
"Perhaps they decided to dump their stock, which is a lot of the reason this stock has been in
free fall from the beginning," Cramer notes.
Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for Facebook's IPO, says its procedures complied with regulations.
Nonetheless, the financial industry regulatory authority is looking into the company's actions and the Senate banking committee is said to be preparing its own review.
Meanwhile a group of Facebook shareholders have filed a class action lawsuit against Morgan Stanley and Facebook, claiming IPO documents concealed negative information about revenue growth.
"You can't tell me there isn't one investor in that Facebook IPO who wouldn't have wanted to know that information," says attorney Sam Rudman.
A Facebook spokesperson responded "we believe the lawsuit is without merit and will defend
ourselves vigorously."
More than 80 million shares of Facebook stock changed hands in the first 30 seconds of

Report into the interrogation of key suspect makes detailed claims of ISI support for the bombings.
Pakistan's powerful intelligence services were heavily involved in preparations for the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008, according to classified Indian government documents obtained by The Guardian.
A 109-page report into the interrogation of key suspect David Headley, a Pakistani-American militant arrested last year and detained in the United States, makes detailed claims of ISI support for the bombings.
Under questioning, Headley described dozens of meetings between officers of the main Pakistani military intelligence service, the ISI, and senior militants from the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group responsible for the Mumbai attacks.
He claims a key motivation for the ISI in aiding the attacks was to bolster militant organisations with strong links to the Pakistani state and security establishment who were being marginalised by more extreme radical groups.
Headley, who undertook surveillance of the targets in Mumbai for the operation, claims that at least two of his missions were partly paid for by the ISI and that he regularly reported to it. However, the documents suggest that supervision of the militants by the ISI was often chaotic and that the most senior officers of the agency may have been unaware at least of the scale and ambition of the operation before it was launched.
European and American security services now fear that the LeT, which has thousands of militants, runs dozens of training camps and has extensive logistic networks overseas, is moving from what has been a largely regional agenda — focussed on Kashmir — to a global agenda involving strikes against the west or western interests. The documents suggest the fierce internal argument within the organisation over its strategic direction is being won by hardliners.
Headley, interviewed over 34 hours by Indian investigators in America in June, described how "a debate had begun among the terrorist outfits" and "a clash of ideology" leading to "splits."
"The aggression and commitment to jihad shown by several splinter groups in Afghanistan influenced many committed fighters to leave [the LeT]," he said. Headley, who changed his name from Daood Gilani, told the investigators that the ISI hoped the Mumbai attack would slow or stop growing "integration" between groups active in Kashmir, with whom the agency had maintained a long relationship, and "Taliban-based outfits" in Pakistan and Afghanistan which were a threat to the Pakistani state.
"The ISI... had no ambiguity in understanding the necessity to strike India," Headley is reported to have said. The aim of the agency was "controlling further split in the Kashmir-based outfits, providing them a sense of achievement and shifting ... the theatre of violence from the domestic soil of Pakistan to India."
Headley describes meeting once with a "Colonel Kamran" from the military intelligence service and having a series of meetings with a "Major Iqbal" and a "Major Sameer Ali." — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2010

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - Facing continuing controversy over his new book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, former President Jimmy Carter issued a letter Friday to American Jews explaining his use of the term ''apartheid'' and sympathizing with Israelis who fear terrorism.
In a ''letter to Jewish citizens of America,'' released Friday by The Carter Center, the former president also said that American Christians, not Jews, are responsible for an ''overwhelming bias for Israel'' in American media. Carter wrote the letter following his meeting Tuesday with a group of rabbis in Phoenix, Ariz. The rabbis said they would not call for a boycott of Carter's book, ''Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,'' but they also would not suggest that anyone read it. In the letter, Carter said the group's chairman, Rabbi Andrew Straus, ''suggested that I make clear to all American Jews that my use of 'apartheid' does not apply to circumstances within Israel, that I acknowledge the deep concern of Israelis about the threat of terrorism and other acts of violence from some Palestinians, and that the majority of Israelis sincerely want a peaceful existence with their neighbors. The purpose of this letter is to reiterate these points.'' Straus said he was ''very appreciative'' of the letter and believes in Carter's sincerity. However, he still disagrees with the former president's use of apartheid. ''Even though he doesn't mean it in a racial term, to use that term can be nothing less than overly provocative,'' Straus said. The rabbi also said he would like to see Carter further acknowledge Israel's efforts in achieving peace and fighting terrorism in the Middle East. Carter's letter asserted that ''apartheid in Palestine is not based on racism but the desire of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land and the resulting suppression of protests that involve violence.'' He called it ''contrary to the tenets of the Jewish faith and the basic principles of the nation of Israel.'' The former president also said, ''I have never claimed that American Jews control the news media, but reiterated that the overwhelming bias for Israel comes from among Christians like me who have been taught since childhood to honor and protect God's chosen people from among whom came our own savior, Jesus Christ.'' He went on to say the American Israel Public Affairs Committee has a ''powerful influence'' in American politics to the extent that, ''There are no significant countervailing voices.'' Carter added that he knows of ''the extreme acts of violence that have been perpetrated against innocent civilians,'' in Israel, and understands Israelis' fear of terrorism. ''I reiterated my strong condemnation of any such acts of terrorism,'' he said. Carter's book follows the peace negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians during his presidency in 1977-1980. He's critical of all players in not reaching a better accord, but he's especially critical of the Israelis. He previously told The Associated Press that Americans are rarely exposed to anything other than pro-Israeli views in the news media. Simon & Schuster said the book is in fourth printing, with 395,000 copies in print. Most of Carter's books have been best sellers. The latest is on The New York Times best seller list.More like this story

Former city attorney ID'd as driver in fatal hit-and-runApril 11,2013By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
Former Rutland City attorney Christopher Sullivan has been identified as the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash in the city Wednesday night.
In a statement issued by city police Thursday evening, Sullivan, 53, was identified as the driver although police also said he has not been charged with any crimes in relation to the death of 71-year-old Jane Outslay who died hours after she was struck while crossing Strongs Avenue at about 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Police Chief James Baker said Sullivan, through his attorney, turned his vehicle over to detectives who are examining it. The make and model of the vehicle were not disclosed and Baker said the vehicle was being sequestered while the investigation continued.
While Sullivan, who was city attorney under former mayors Jeffrey Wennberg and John Cassarino, has not been charged with any crimes, Baker said charges were pending and Rutland County State's Attorney Marc Brierre and the Vermont attorney general's office were involved in reviewing the case.
A press conference has been scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. to provide further information in the case.

Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Slovakia's budget deficit narrowed to 4.6 percent of gross domestic product last year, preliminary data show, below the target as the government cut spending to counter the effects of slowing economic growth.
The result, released by the Finance Ministry in an e-mailed statement from Bratislava today, compares with a revised shortfall of 8.1 percent of GDP in 2010 and a 2011 target of 4.9 percent.
The second-poorest euro-area member seeks to improve its public finances even the export-driven economy is slowing to retain investors' confidence and differentiate itself from the troubled peripheral members of the bloc.
Spending cuts accounted for more than four-fifth of the year-on-year improvement, with the rest stemming from higher revenue, the ministry said.

Radiation therapy is used alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy in the care and management of nearly all adult and approximately 75% of pediatric patients with central nervous system malignancies. Success in controlling a brain cancer by radiation therapy hinges on being able to inactivate the cancer cells while preserving normal tissue function.
This study evaluated retinal endothelial cell response to radiation in the presence of a metalloporphyrin antioxidant, AEOL 10113, using monkey choroid-retina endothelial cells. AEOL 10113 was added to the cells one hour prior to the administration of a single, 10 grey dose of radiation. Statistically significant (P less than 0.05), dose-dependent protection of normal retinal endothelial cells by AEOL 10113 was seen at 24 hours and 48 hours following irradiation. In addition, cell viability was significantly enhanced at 24 hours and 48 hours in non-irradiated endothelial cells cultured with AEOL 10113 at 10ug (P less than 0.05). Laser scanning cytometry showed AEOL 10113 altered cell cycle kinetics and led to significantly (p less than 0.05) increased G1 population 48 hours following irradiation.
The Potential for Metalloporphyrin Antioxidants in Radiotherapy for Cancer
Radiotherapy treatment in cancer has the positive effect of
tumor destruction, but also has the negative effect of normal
tissue damage. Optimal dosing in radiotherapy balances maximum
tumor destruction with minimal toxicity and damage to normal
tissue. The "ionizing radiation" used in cancer radiotherapy

Time was, out of the office networking was the purview of men. Ladies might have been able to break into the corporate world, but they were missing out when it came to off-the-clock bonding with colleagues and/or clients on the golf course, in the strip club, and at the bar at 3AM after drinking for 7 hours straight. Well no longer.
Tired of missing out on the opportunities to get ahead afforded to people who don't necessarily do the best job at the office but impress the boss with their ability to put back 16 Manhattans during happy hour, businesswomen are going shot for shot with their male counterparts, according to a new study from QZ:
Take one of our participants, Gina, a tech entrepreneur from São Paulo. She told us that her choice of drink, and even the quantity she consumed, was part of her "hard-edged" business performance: "I would make a point of drinking rum, straight up, in a big glass wherever I was at a business networking event," she said. Poli, one of our subjects from Russia, explained that she was cultivating an expertise in cognac to aid her business ambitions. She described cognac as highly aspirational and business-like—a drink for "confident and experienced women," she told us.
Em, in New York, proudly exhibits her connoisseurship of hard alcohol, specifically whiskey, in her business networking. She told us it was "empowering" in conversations to suddenly surprise her male counterparts with an expertise in something so typically masculine. In China, where corporate drinking cultures are heavily centered on drinking games involving countless shots of baijiu (the national liquor with an ABV between 40-60%), career-driven women are taking charge and downing their drinks. The women in our study told us that participating in these games was a surefire way of communicating commitment to the job and a competitive edge.
Basically, it's a 2-pronged approach. Prong 1: drink A LOT. A couple Chardonnays over a 3-hour period isn't gonna cut it. Start thinking in bottles, not glasses. Prong 2: Drink things typically associated with having a penis. Goodbye Skinny Girl margarita, hello Don Julio. If it gets confusing, just picture the boozehound who sits across from you, sweating Sidecars and barely keeping his life together, the guy whose stories all start with, "So I wake up in this gutter," and who is up for managing director. That's what you're aiming for.

I;m sure the drinking helps lubricate the situation.
I fuckin love chicks and they love me!
They are still trying to fuck their way to the top believe me. See it every week
Lean in and puke on the table.

Alcohol sanitizes the STDs from the inside-out.
Em, from New York likes to pound down a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue then gargle balls until she pukes it back up
Finance Tool: They are still trying to fuck their way to the top believe me. See it every week.
Reality: No, you don't.
Finance Tool: Well, not me personally, but a guy I know. Him and them got it on.
Reality: No, they didn't.
Finance Tool: No, no, no, they didn't. But you can imagine what it'd be like if they did, right? Huh? -
Poli, from russia, got smashed on Don Julio at the company christmas party and complained out loud that Tinder is a waste of time because no one wants to fuck. She was promptly promoted to MD
My parents almost named me Gargle Balls!
yes, cannot tell but most likely yes, yes
Hilarious Billy Madison reference. Step into the 21st century buddy
Gina, who liked to drink rum straight, proceeded to drink a bottle of captain morgan white. she blacked out and woke up with a pink sock and wearing a cincinnati bow tie. She was named COO one week after
She may know her whiskeys, but can that 100 pound frame drink more than 2 glasses of Bookers and stand up at the end of the night?
-guy who knows 120 proof bourbon will put you to bed quickly
Orange is the new blackout
Nice work on the pink sock.
Sure they know their whiskeys, but do they know their milkshakes?

Falling through a glass ceiling drunk and drinking your way through a glass ceiling are two very different things to keep in mind, business women of the 21st century.
That ain't rumchata in the martini glass, sweet-tits….

I think they want her to be laying down by then, no?
Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your flashy ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)-The 90's
Drinking is something that women should avoid as they climb past us on the ladder of success.
>It's hard to climb any ladder drunk. It's folly try to do it in heels.
Just goes to show they don't have an expense account. Otherwise they'd be drinking Petrus to impress
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Yest, but there will be always hard sticks they can rely on to get some traction.
Later that evening Poli received an Alabama Hot Pocket, a 20% raise and a SVP title. She now gets drunk 7 days a week
Given that the 'value' provided by most MBA programs involves school-sponsored happy hours, I'd say a $100k MBA is doing a fine job of preparing the business leaders of tomorrow in light of this article.
– BSBA, CFA Finance guy
Bookers = weapons grade Bourbon. You will succeed in all of your endeavors when imbibing in significant quantities.
That said, if the ladies really want to impress the good ol' boys, let them get so drunk on the first 9 that they shit themselves on 13th of the TPC at the Woodlands fairway and use their shotgun start partner, the guy from El Paso's golf towel to clean up a bit without telling him.. That will get you into legendary status where I come from.
I don't want to get you drunk, but, ah, that's a very fine Chardonnay you're not drinking.
– P. Bateman

Young, newly rich Verity Daniels claims to be receiving threatening demands for money from a mysterious caller. When Jake Runyon agrees to investigate, it seems a relatively simple matter to expose the extortionist by setting a trap for him.
The case, however, is nowhere near as clear-cut as it first appears.
And Verity Daniels is nowhere near the helpless victim she pretends to be.
A series of surprise revelations culminates in Runyon being falsely accused of a crime that never happened, and he and his employers then become the targets of a vicious legal vendetta. A sudden act of violence turns the case upside down, leading to a much more serious charge against Jake.
With the help of partner Tamara Corbin, Nameless (known as Bill to his associates) puts aside the difficult personal issue that has kept him sidelined at home and works to clear both Runyon's and the agency's good names. The task requires untangling Verity Daniels's bizarre past and present relationships, and before Bill succeeds, he must overcome a deadly threat to his own safety.
Nemesis continues author Bill Pronzini's acclaimed Nameless Detective Series.
BILL PRONZINI has been nominated for, or won, every prize offered to crime fiction writers, including the 2008 Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He lives and writes in California, with his wife, the crime novelist Marcia Muller.

I'm just a little concerned, its been just about a month here after i transplanted my seedlings (diff types of peppers and tomatoes) and havent seen much growth. Especially my cayenne and jalapeno's. The seedlings are about 6 inches still, and hardly any movement the last week. The weather has also been great last few days. I had similar issues last year and ended up basically with dying peppers that resulted in no fruits or growth. This year i rotated with new appropriate soil in my planters, added fertilizier, water appropriately. added mulch. Figured i have been doing every thing right so far, but i dont want to end up like last year with no peppers. Am i being paranoid as a new gardner? will they bounce back? should i replace the seedlings that arent growing while early in season stiil? i dont want another season like last Two years ago i had 2 cayanne plants in the smallest box and they grew beautifully. Last year expanded to very big outdoor space for plenty of plants and saw terrible results, and seeing not much results (except tomato) so far this season would appreciate any help or advice. |

I would assume it has something to do with temperature outside. If the few first weeks were not very warm that could slow growth down. Otherwise it could be your soil. Search your zone on google and find out what type of soil you have. That could maybe help you out. Good luck! |
I guess I should mention it is a big raised bed planter with soil I got from home depot garden center. Soil is for planters (non ground use), for plants and veggies. Says feeds up to 6 months. Also tested my soil, and it is slightly acidic |
I doubt it's the soil. Peppers don't NEED incredibly rich soil. My guess would be temps also. Hard to believe with a good part of the country having a late winter that it was appropriate for you to plant them early. I'm in zone 10 and I usually don't put mine in the ground until the beginning of April. I'm all about mulching, but not too early. For now, pull the mulch back so that soil can warm up some around the root zones. Good luck. Kevin |
This post was edited by woohooman on Mon, May 5, 14 at 12:55
Thanks, I'll pull back some of the mulch, maybe get some more warmth there. I planted the pepper seedlings maybe around april 10th, we had no more frost, temps maybe dipped in the mid 40s first week or so at night, but well above since then. Just didnt want the same thing happening again like last year where i got nothing from the pepper plants, this is why i am being cautious, or over-thinking it at this point i suppose. I will try to be more patient, hopefully things will start progress with increased temps. May post pics as well later on |

I live just across the river from you in Maryland, mdy. It has been a hard year for peppers for me and many others because of the cold. It has definitely been too cold to put out pepper seedlings and get much from them all month. This is the season to be hardening the peppers off, not putting them into raised beds yet. Not that they will die, just that it is not an optimal time yet. Put-in-ground time is almost here though, Since they are in raised beds early, I would recommend leaving the mulch over their rooms. That will help them stay warmer at night much the way a blanket helps keep you warm at night. Angie |
Thanks Angie, think you are right. Hopefully the warmer temps coming up soon will kick them into gear. Just hope there wasnt any damage done because of the little cool weather. |

text: By Bill O'Neil One final appearance as Governor before the State Republican Party's Convention in Fort Worth--where Rick Perry sounded more like a 2016 Presidential candidate. "Soem states took the bait of Obamacare--and they expanded Medicare. We did not--and we will not subscribe to federal blackmail" the Governor said to cheers. Perry also criticized the Administration for the V.A. scandal--pointing to it as an illustration that government-run healthcare does not work. As for efforts to turn Texas "blue" in the years ahead--which has had some national Democrats buzzing--Perry said he is not impressed.

Here is a link to a nifty little program that allows you to print multiple pictures on one page.
You can download "photosheet" to be able to put more than on picture on sheet. You can save it and print it yourself - or take it somewhere to be printed. You can choose how many pics on a page and what size/shape to do them. You can choose what size paper. It is really nifty little free program... Also does some super fun collage type things. You can make a neat 8.5x11 (or any size) collage - print it - plop it in a $3 frame and you have a masterpiece! This program is also awesome if you enjoy making cards and want to print pictures smaller to mount on cards. You can put 2 or more pics on a 4x6 size! Works great for that!! There is also a simple cropping program and a mini book program on this site too. I haven't tried those yet. |

I do the majority of my photo editing and all of those features with "Photoscape", which is a free download from Google. |
- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 15:17
Yea - this really isn't a photo editing program. More so just a little utility to be able to cram a whole lot of pictures onto one page for printing. You can make wallets, etc.. same picture repeated, or different pictures. Scrapbookers and card artist find it very handy to use - especially if you aren't into using any post production type of software. |
Thanks to both of you. I do a lot of picture "manipulating" and will enjoy learning these new ones. |
Thank you, Iowagirl! Playing with pictures is always fun. PS: Do we have the same photo printer? |
- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 21:02
Nope - I have a HP printer. As far as printing the b/w pictures - do you do any post processing on them in Photoshop Elements - I have found that just changing them to b/w and printing they are kind of blahh... But if I change some of the levels I can get a much better print. There are loads of tutorials for PSe and b/w picture online. |
I read great reviews on an HP greyscale printer (the 8750, I think), but it was way too expensive for me. Yes, I do quite a bit of post processing, and play with the RGB levels when I convert to b&w. The reviews I've read for my printer say the color prints are outstanding, but the b&w are less than satisfactory--plus the b&w prints take forever. It's just not set up well for b&w, I guess. Canon makes another model with excellent greyscale printing, but it's also out of my price range. If and when I get serious about printing a large number of my dad's photographs (I've scanned and edited about 500 of his negatives so far), I'll reevaluate my options at that time. |

By Ellin Nolan
After three long weeks, the government shutdown ended, and Congress is now back at work. The biggest item on its agenda is to finalize an agreement for the fiscal year (FY) 2014 budget. A budget conference committee, chaired by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), has until December 15 to get that job done or face another possible shutdown. A review of the impact of the second phase of the sequester is part of those negotiations and will be implemented in early January if another solution to cut spending or increase revenue is not found. Although an agreement is a long shot, given the all-too-familiar partisan tensions, one positive note is the good working relationship that Ryan and Murray appear to have, and both have expressed optimism about finding a solution. The stakes are high, since without an agreement, another series of deep cuts in education funding will be required. Time will tell whether the budget conference members can find a way to do the math and make new numbers add up in a way that will garner support from their Democratic and Republican colleagues in the House and Senate.
Beyond the budget negotiations, education committees in the House and Senate are moving forward with oversight on the Higher Education Act (HEA), due for rewrite during this Congress. HEA provides financial aid for students and also makes critical funding available to teacher education programs for initiatives that are intended to strengthen and reform these important programs. Although no one expects action on a new HEA bill before the end of the year, hearings that were postponed during the shutdown are now under way in the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee and the House Education and the Workforce Committee. These hearings will be ongoing in the next several months.
House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-Minn.) is particularly eager to move several other education bills forward in the next few months. These include the Education Sciences Reform Act and the Carl Perkins Career and Technical Education Act. These bills support research that is intended to inform education policy and practice and support programs that provide funds for K−12 and community colleges to prepare young people for the workforce. The Perkins Act is the oldest education bill and one that the administration hopes Congress will take a serious look at rewriting. Two years ago, the president submitted a Blueprint for Reform of Career and Technical Education, which calls for a dramatic rewrite of the law. However, the Senate has not shown any interest in taking up these two bills, as HELP Committee chair Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) is still trying to negotiate floor time for a debate on his rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education received some mixed news last week in a report that compared the performances of U.S. eighth graders and their international peers on math and science tests. The 2011 NAEP-TIMSS Linking Study found that students in 38 states did as well as or better than students around the world in terms of achievement in math and science. Students in a few states—most notably Massachusetts, Vermont, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New Hampshire—did particularly well. The weakest scores were from students in Alabama, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia. Because only nine states actually participated in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), researchers took the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results from 2011 for all 50 states and predicted their performance on this international measure. Although the overall findings were positive, a high percentage of students did poorly, even in the highest performing states. Tom Loveless, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, put it well when he said, "If we as Americans want to get all of our kids achieving at the highest level, in terms of worldwide academic achievement, we have a lot of work, and it's not just the low-scoring states where it's obvious." Secretary of Education Arne Duncan used these results to point out that state policies really matter, given the wide range of performance for students all across the country.
And finally, a recent article from Quartz sums up the math conundrum quite well—"Math is the great mental bogeyman of an unconfident America. If we can convince you that anyone can learn math, it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything, if you work hard enough." Researchers have found that hard work plus preparation and self-confidence are critical to addressing America's "math problem," and that's where teachers, families, and communities can play a starring role in boosting student achievement.

'Obamacare' tackles health care costs. Will Congress?
The president's health care reform plan includes tools to restrain rising health-care costs, but they may not survive future political battles.

The United States spends far more on health care than any other nation. Those high costs pinch American consumers, but they're a boon to providers of those medical goods and services.
General practitioners, for example, made about $161,000 a year in 2004, about twice the average among the 30 democracies in the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Registered nurses with two years of college make roughly twice what teachers with a four-year degree make. The US spends roughly twice as much on prescription drugs ($572 per person) as the average OECD nation.
That's one reason Uwe Reinhardt, an expert on health-care economics at Princeton University in New Jersey, sounds so gloomy about prospects for reining in medical costs. "Every dollar of health-care spending is someone's health-care income," he notes.
