DiXiEmEdiC911's Note:
Just a simple way to throw together leftovers and come out with some down-home comfort food. I've included two different ways to do this pie. You only need EITHER the double pie crust, OR the refrigerated crescent rolls, not both.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 2 cups chopped cooked white meat chicken
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables or 1 (14 ounce) can Veg-All or 1 (14 ounce) can peas and carrots
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 2 prepared deep dish pie shells or 1 can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
- salt and pepper
- 1Preheat oven to 350. If you are using a double crust, set one of them out to thaw a little.
- 2Combine chicken, vegetables, and cream of chicken soup in a large mixing bowl. Add water until the consistency of the mixture is to your liking, not too runny. Salt and pepper to taste.
- 3If you are using a double pie crust, pour the mixture into the crust you have kept frozen. Trim the fluted edge from the thawed one and place it on top of the mixture. Press down the edges to seal and cut a slit in the top to vent. Place the pie pan on a cookie sheet for baking.
- 4If you are using crescent rolls for your crust, place the mixture in a 13x9 baking dish. Unroll the crescents on top of the mixture so that they are flat, don't tear them apart.
- 5Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, until bubbly. Keep an eye on the pie to make sure the crust does not burn. You can put tinfoil over the crust edges to prevent this if you like.
- 6If you are using crescent rolls, it usually takes about 30 minutes for them to get crispy enough. You will be baking this a lot longer than the directions say on the can, but this is okay. You want them to end up much crispier than if you were using them for crescent rolls.

OSLO, August 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- Results Further Support the Clinical Profile of This Novel Anti-Cancer Agent Under Development to Improve the Survival of Patients With Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC)
Algeta ASA (OSE: ALGETA), the Norwegian cancer therapeutics company, today announced that the primary objective of its BC1-03 Phase II pain palliation study was met. The study showed that even single doses of Alpharadin in patients with painful bone metastases could produce increasing clinical benefit with increasing dose. Pain palliation is an important quality of life benefit in metastatic cancer patients. The trial also confirmed Alpharadin's benign side-effect profile and, importantly for a drug in this clinical setting, no significant bone marrow toxicity was observed.
In men with HRPC life expectancy can be as short as 18 months, and it is estimated that 100,000 men in the EU and USA die from the disease each year. In 85% of these men the tumor will have spread into the bones. These metastases are a significant problem as they can cause intractable and debilitating pain as well as contributing to a further reduction in life expectancy.
The BC1-03 study was a double-blind randomised pain control study comparing the palliative effects of four different single dose levels of Alpharadin in patients with bony metastatic HRPC. The drug was given by i.v. injection mainly on an outpatient basis. The palliative efficacy of Alpharadin was measured using an assessment of bone pain as well as the patient's consumption of analgesia. The primary study objective was to investigate whether there was a dose-response relationship with respect to pain palliation in this patient group. The study has shown the beneficial palliative effect of a single dose of Alpharadin and that there is a clear dose-response effect, with higher doses providing better pain relief.
The study also showed a dose-dependent reduction in bone al

Intel Buys Embedded Specialist Wind River
Chipmaker Intel has paid around $900 million for Wind River's know-how in things embedded and mobile.
Intel is taking over 100% of the Wind River stock, which at $11.50 per share comes to $884 million. The California software company will bring its knowledge of embedded and mobile systems under Intel's aegis. Taking over as its new chief is Renee James, vice president and general manager of Intel's Software and Services Group, according to Intel's press release.
Embedded systems and mobile devices are by Intel's account one of their largest growth factors. The market sector includes mobile Internet devices (MIDs), smart phones, and infotainment devices for the auto industry. These devices have been a hotspot for Intel over the last few years, notably through its past ownership of Moblin and its participation with BMW in the Genivi project. Wind River was also working with some customers on adapting Android, such as for Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform.

POSTED: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 - 7:31pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 11:58am
There's probably nothing more gut wrenching than walking into a parking lot and finding your car or truck stolen.
Well one automaker has been particularly vulnerable, and is trying to change that.
Yeah, and that missing vehicle frustration is no doubt even worse when your truck costs north of $50-grand.
Such was the case with the Cadillac Escalade.
So, the guys at General Motors have set out to make that car thief's job a little tougher.
Let's start with the basics. Now anti-theft system is perfect.
Even though banks have guards and cameras, they keep getting robbed.
So it is with vehicles.
But for Cadillac, this headline from the Highway Loss Data Institute is one they'd like to avoid in the future.
Yeah, the Escalade luxury SUV is the most stolen vehicle in the country.
To be fair, both Ford and Chrysler also have cars and trucks on the list, but Caddy is number one.
And number one on this list is not a good thing.
So they have designed what is described as the most advanced theft deterrence system in the industry.
They've tried to anticipate all the ways an Escalade can be jacked up, jump started, towed or flatbedded away.
Of course, it will still happen but maybe when you walk out of Nieman's with an armload of excess, the Caddy will still be there.

Sump Basin Install Considerations
I want to locate a new 30 sump basin in our crawlspace. The old basin was a temporary means to pump out water while we determined the source of the water infiltrating our crawlspace. At the same time we also installed a concrete gutter on top of the spread footing for the front retaining wall. The gutter emptied into the old basin through a drainpipe in the gutter. We believed water may have been entering through the front retaining wall, but determined after watching two winter rains that was not the case. Ultimately we determined that all the water entering our crawlspace was coming through stake cavity openings in a wall we share with our neighbor. We have done everything we can to make sure we dont have water infiltration in the future, but there is always the possibility it will happen again if the downspouts for the townhomes upslope from us clog again and flood those crawlspaces.
The details are as follows. The bottom of the excavation for the new basin is below the base of all the foundation members surrounding it, but the base of the basin excavation does not bisect any 45-degree lines projected out from the bases of all the foundation members. Surrounding the top of the basin I want to install a 48 x 80 inch concrete apron. The new basin is a Jackel SF30 PR made from structural foam and is very strong. I would like to set it in a three-inch base of sand to level it and then pour 4-inches of concrete around it up to 6-1/2 below the top of the basin. Let the concrete set up for a week and come back and pour a 48 x 80 inch concrete apron around it that allows surface water to drain into the basin. The entire crawlspace has been graded to direct water to the basin location and the existing concrete gutter will be modified to remove the pipe that drained into the old basin and the lip will be removed so any water entering the gutter will drain into the new basin. The purpose for this basin is just for removing water that may enter the crawlspace due to the possibility of downspouts clogging up slope from us. We do not have a problem with raising groundwater and do not want to install a basin that will allow groundwater to enter below the grade of the crawlspace. My main concern is to maintain the soil bearing around the foundation and minimize soil heave under the basin and apron. I would appreciate comments from anyone who has a background pertaining to this type of installation and welcome suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Howard Advertisement |

Sump Basin Install Considerations
For our situation we dont want to risk undermining the foundation by using a perforated sump basin. Yesterday we cut the existing concrete back and set the basin. Next week we will pour the apron around the basin.

E.On's 1-year tariff could save you serious money, so why has it gone for such a miniscule price cut for regular customers?
Ofgem rewarded civil servants with £856,000 in payouts for doing their job
Ofgem chief Dermot Nolan says suppliers don't need to make a profit
A Government subsidy scheme for 'biomass' boilers is allowing the rich to almost literally burn public money while fuel poverty grips Britain
The Big Six energy companies are once again accused of profiteering after failing to pass on the savings from a wholesale gas slump to customers
Industry watchdogs have repeated concerns firms are not passing on lower wholesale costs as their profits soar
Wholesale gas costs have plunged by half but the savings are not being passed on to consumers
The figure is sharply up from the £56 Ofgem forecast a year ago. And it is 920% more than the £10 annual rake-off per customer in 2009
According to Ofgem, around one in five people who tried getting through between January and March 2011 gave up because they were kept on hold so long
Richard Lloyd of Which? said: "Supplier profit margins are set to double. Energy companies must do everything they can to pass on savings to customers"
Ofgem's forecast profit margin for the firms is double their £53 from a year ago – and 1,100% more than the £9 they made per customer in 2009
In a six month period the number of complaints rose from 10,598 to 22,671
Industry expert Niall Trimble says the threat has been caused by delays in building new power stations to replace ageing and polluting plants being forced to close
Dale Vince, the boss of independent supplier Ecotricity, argues that form Tory PM Margaret Thatcher's push to privatise the energy industry has spectacularly failed
Npower shambles leaves hundreds of thousands of households at risk of bill shock
Energy customers can abandon fatcat energy giants much quicker and easier from the end of the year after Ofgem intervention
New figures show the main suppliers have not had such cheap wholesale gas costs for four years and Ofgem has demanded to know why prices are so high
Consumer rights champion Dean Dunham on the regulator's full competition investigation and what it could mean for customers
Prices have rocketed, service has suffered and for millions of people heating is an expensive luxury.
Energy select committee MP John Robertson said Centrica boss Sam Laidlaw, whose firm runs British Gas, is "holding a gun" to households' heads
Regulator Ofgem said the investigation would 'consider once and for all' whether there are barriers to effective competition
The study, from Ofgem and the OFT, is likely to criticise "vertical integration", where energy companies own both power stations and their supply arms
Investigation by the power regulator found the big six have kept "an unacceptably large amount" of former customers' money
Firms may also be told to set up a 999-style emergency number by the end of 2014 as part of several recommendations
Ofgem claims a lack of transparency prevented it from being able to look into whether energy companies are guilty of price fixing
Npower agreed to return £3.5million to hard-up households after it admitted a catalogue of sales blunders
The companies, including SSE and Scottish Power, own the power cables that go into properties and had business plans for 2015 through to 2023 rejected
Five of the six companies that own Britain's local network have had their business plans rejected by industry regulator Ofgem
In a shocking discovery, 16% of all those behind with their electricity bill, and 17% on their gas, owed more than £600
Energy watchdog Ofgem and City regulator the Financial Conduct Authority said customers had not been harmed

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
This cooktop came with our new home along with Electrolux fridge, DW, wall oven and mic. We have has issues with all of these except the mic. The cooktop looks nice but notice the front burners - these are the largest/hottest burners - the grate size is very small and oddly shaped. This is where you put the big pots for say boiling water n high for pasta. If you use the front right burner with a 10 or 12 inch pot - centred on the burner, the flames from the burner lap out and heat the control knob to the point of melting. Your choice is to wear a flame proof glove or set the pot off centre. My wife has burnt her hand on more than one occasion and our control knob is a melted blob. To add to the poor design, the back burners have big square grates away from the control knobs but this is where the small simmer burner situated. So not only can you burn your hand you have to reach OVER a large pot of boiling water to stir maybe a sauce simmering on the back burner. Further bad design is the cast iron grate - the tangs are not at 45 degree angles - maybe to make to look chiche BUT the hottest burner is your likely choice for a wok and wok rings expect those tangs to be at square angles, otherwise the wok ring cant seat properly and is unstable. I have contacted Electrolux Canada several times on this issue. I phoned the 1-800 # on Groudhog day and was told they were closed for the holiday - seriously. When I called the toll number I got a customer service rep who refused to even speak with me until I sent her evidence that the house was occupied less than 1 year ago. They want me to fax my home occupancy documents to prove warranty coverage. I tried to explain that this is not a warranty claim this is a product flaw and she kept insisting that I first prove I owned the home less than 12 months. To add insult - I have made 4 prior warranty claims so they have all that on file but she insisted she needed to create a new file and I needed to again fax my home occupancy papers. (the other claims - twice the control panel has blown on the oven (resulting in 8 weeks without an oven as the part was backordered) and twice the ice maker has stopped working in the fridge (a flaw that cannot be fixed - you have to manually cycle the ice maker on and off.) In the end electrolux's solution -- they want to send a rep out to replace the control knob. Elextrolux could not care less about the obvious safety hazard. We are not shopping for a new cooktop - one with controls away from the burners, the biggest burners at the back and big square grates. Bad design backed by indifferent, complicated service.

Radio station KMOX reports that Holden says he was approached Wednesday by a man holding a gas can and asking for help. The former governor says he pulled out his money clip, and the man grabbed it and ran.
St. Louis police say no arrest has been made. It's not known how much cash the thief took.
Holden, a Democrat, served as governor from 2001 to 2005. He now teaches political science classes at Webster University.

Remove the seeds and their pulp by slicing through the tomato the core. Set aside the seeds. Your aim is to keep the pulp of the seeds together to create tomato seed "fillets" that are separate from the firmer tomato flesh. Repeat with each segment of the tomato.
- Using a small melon baller, hollow out the watermelon cubes to create little watermelon cups.
- Place 3 watermelon cubes on each plate. In cube #1, spoon 1/2 teaspoon of double cream and top with 1/2 teaspoon of the roe. In cube #2, add a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Using a microplane grater, shave a generous amount of Parmesan over top. In cube #3, place a tomato seed fillet.

DMM - digital multimeter safety: This article discusses safety procedures to follow when using digital multi meters or DMMs or VOMs. We describe safety procedures for inspecting residential electric panels and building wiring using DMMs, volt meters, VOMs, and similar electrical test equipment. These DMM/VOM safety procedures aid in addressing safety hazards found at residential electrical panels and electrical wiring systems and are intended for the electrical inspector, home inspector, or other professionals who examine residential electrical systems. Safe electrical inspection procedures and safe use of volt meters, DMMs, multimeters, and similar electrical test equipment are discussed. Original text: DF, as ASHI Technical Journal Staff, January 1992, with updates through 2012. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Safe Use of Electrical Test Equipment: DMMs & VOMsIn some circumstances, when examining electrical panels, receptacles, or other electrical devices in a building, ASHI, CREIA, CAHI, or other home inspectors may elect to make current and voltage measurements. For inspectors who elect to use these tools, make sure that the tools themselves do not become a source of damage, or injury. The following tips are based on a short article by Leonard Ogden in CEE News. Shown here is my little Jensen analog VOM (volt ohm meter) which has served flawlessly for decades. At the top of this page is our still smaller pocket digital DMM DM78 made by CircuitMate™. Other examples of VOMs and ammeters or current measuring instruments are shown below. How to Test digital volt meter DMM or Volt Ohm Meter VOM meter conditionHigh energy measurement instruments: Use only DMM's (digital multi meters) or VOMs (volt-ohm meters, the analog predecessors to DMMs) designed for high energy measurements. Frequently check for damage to the meter itself, or for loose, cut, or worn test leads. If you can see the conductor in the leads, replace them. Check that there is low resistance between the leads themselves - a partial indication of good condition. Use well insulated test leads that have finger guards. Insulate yourself from possibly live electrical parts by careful selection of clothing, leather boots, and where appropriate, insulated gloves. Wear gloves: If you cannot operate your equipment while wearing gloves you have a safety problem. (Photo at left). Use the proper voltage range and other control settings on the meter. If you attempt a voltage measurements with test leads in the amps or current jack (a big but common mistake) and if your probes or meter are not fused, the resulting short across the voltage source can cause an explosion in the meter. The photo (left) shows our Sperry Digisnap™ DSA-500 clamp-on ammeter that also functions as a digital VOM multimeter and continuity tester. Here, missing safety gloves, the DMM user was measuring 0.11 Amps current draw at a control on a gas-fired warm air furnace. The openings at the bottom of the meter show that before attempting a current (amps) measurement the user removed the test leads from the instrument. Don't use a DMM or VOM meter having cracked or loose parts. In selecting a meter, look for recessed input jacks to reduce shock risks at the connectors. A simple volt ohm meter (VOM) such as the TriplettTM 310 shown here can be used to test for unexpected and unsafe voltage at a component. Set the VOM in the highest AC-voltage range. One probe of the VOM is used to contact the surface of the electric panel (or any component to be examined), the other probe is touched to a reliable ground source, [NOTE: Once having tested at the highest voltage range, greater accuracy may be obtained by choosing more sensitive ranges which permit readings to be taken in the upper portion of the scale. Disconnect the test probes (or shut off the voltage source) before changing the voltage range setting on the VOM.] or in the example shown, to the neutral side of the circuit. For example, if the VOM meter indicates more than 1or 2 volts between a service panel cover and ground, there's a safety problem. Most low-cost analog-type meters such as the one described provide additional ranges used to read lower voltages with more sensitivity. Some VOM models provide alligator clips for the ends of the test probes. These clips permit measuring high voltage without handling the probes. Always shut off the power before connecting the alligator clips. This clamp-on multimeter made by TriplettTM can measure amperage draw (we used it when servicing and testing air conditioning system compressors) but it also includes probes permitting the device to be used as a standard, if slightly awkward probing VOM as well. One feature we liked on this analog meter was the adjustable scale which permits measuring voltages in ranges of 1-5 volts, 5-25 volts, 25 to 125 volts, 100 60 500 volts (our scale for inspecting residential electrical equipment), high voltages from 250V up to 1250 volts, and as well, an ohms scale - making this a versatile analog multimeter. After nearly 20 years we still make occasional use of this nice analog meter. Here's close up of the adjustable scale on this meter. Electrical Inspection techniques Using DMMs and VOMs
To measure amps or current see AMPS MEASUREMENT METHODS. Also see DMM Digital Multimeter HOW TO USE for the proper DMM or VOM function and range settings. When measuring amps without a current clamp, make sure power is off before connecting into the circuit. When disconnecting the multimeter or voltmeter, always unplug the red (hot) lead first. Also see SAFETY for ELECTRICAL INSPECTORS Safe Use of Electrical Test Equipment: DMMs & VOMs8.3 During an electrical system inspection the inspector is NOT required to Do Not Grab an Shake SEC Entry Mains in the PanelIn his final electrical seminar in St. Louis a decade ago, Bob Smith, a lecturer from SHRC, the Small Homes Research Council, told ASHI home inspectors and candidates that he always verifies the quality of the service connection at the main breaker by grabbing the two hot entrance wires and giving them and the panel a good shake. Watch out: Don't do this! Readers would not be warned here if this questionable advice had not been presented at that seminar. Electricians and trained experts work with live electrical wires. Home inspectors should not do so. October 22, 1988 - El Cajon, CA - a young electrician died when he accidentally electrocuted himself. Acting police Lt. Carl Case said 19-year-old Sean M. Smith was working under a house, lying on his back working on an electrical addition to the house, when his wire [strippers] accidentally connected with a live wire. He said Smith's boss, Troy Beatty, heard the victim yell. Beatty found Smith unconscious under the house, pulled him out, performed CPR, and summoned help. -- IAEI News, November/December 1990 p.40.

ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR SAFETY PROCEDURES describes important basic safety procedures, clothing, gloves, eye protection, and other safety equipment for home inspectors and electrical inspectors. Safety Warnings for Electrical Inspectors & Home Inspectors Using Electrical Test Equipment on Building Electrical Systems & DevicesSafety Warning: The ASHI Standards of Practice and other home inspection standards for electrical inspections do not require the inspector to insert any instrument into the service panel. Therefore this testing is optional. It's also a dangerous procedure that can damage electrical equipment or worse, cause electrical shock, or even death, and should not be undertaken unless the person conducting the examination is trained and competent to avoid electric shock. If the inspector is not trained for this procedure s/he should never insert any instrument or tool into electrical equipment. See SAFETY for ELECTRICAL INSPECTORS at Residential Electric Panels. Simpson Instruments adds the following safety advice for users of VOMs and DMMs and similar test devices, and other instrument manufacturers offer similar cautions: [6]
Fluke adds this safety advice: To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines: [5]

(This article is an adaptation of this entry pwassonne.livejournal.com/5446… from my personal blog.)
Last Saturday (that was yesterday), there was a deviantMEET in Paris. It was awesome. Many members of dA staff were there (that is, many Americans, including spyed, founder of dA, in other words, "God". kalistina fangasmed since she got to shake hands with him, but I, on the other hand, didn't realize who he was until a while later (I had figured out that he was important, but not much more...).
Here's what we did : first, get nametags (those stickers were quite impractical btw, but well), say hello to many people we knew but didn't expect to see there (K had told me that DragonChameleon was to be there, but I had a good surprise seeing UmbreoNoctie and Aegis-L, who is really nice. I met him once in real life before, but I didn't know him yet at that time), talk with the developers (one of them is French !), and after a while, sit and draw. I started by doodling a Spiritomb on paper, then I had quite a weird idea, which ended up as a (small,) totally improvised conceptual art installation (ze-gobou.deviantart.com/art/Ar… - the little blue thing is my card, I had made a few of them so that I wouldn't have to scribble down my contact information everytime someone asked. Eventually I didn't use many but they were a great thing to have). I quickly took a picture of it with K's iPhone so I could post it to dA that same evening, but the photo I thought was most interesting turned out to be unworkable - I saw that later and so I had only the close-up left to work with. DeviantArt-ception, anyone ? xD And in the end, I took out my netbook and pen tablet to doodle again, and this time I drew a Mudkip. Since neither that one nor the Spiritomb are too developed or well done, you probably won't see them unless I do a sketch dump. (Makes me think, I probbaly have enough doodles by now to make one). And as everyone was leaving, the last people who stayed got extra goodies (emoticon buttons - which I'd probably have bought sooner or later had they not given them away for free to anyone had a chat with them - and more stickers).
Also, a giant group photo yousry-aref-photos.deviantart.… was taken in the street. Since I was in the back, I am barely visible, but I was there. K was there too, but she was even farther back, since she was chatting with someone (or some people) at the same time (I don't remember who they were, but apparently they weren't too interested in the photo being taken).
I had more or less expressed the idea that I could take advantage of the creative atmosphere and all that to WRITE (I NEVER write in public or even when I'm with a small group of people, seems like a self-confidence issue). I intended to push myself a little, so as to "unblock" myself, but I eventually didn't have any opportunity to do so - first because I didn't have any idea of what to write to begin with, and secondly, because there was too much noise around.
In the end, I was able to point out two issues that I have. They aren't new issues at all, but this day I was able to become aware of them again. The first issue is that I won't get any better at art unless I practice regularly. Someone was saying this about drawing skills, but it also applies to writing, for instance. I would have liked to have more stuff to put up online at the end of the day, but meh. The second issue is that I don't have any "big" artistic project at the moment, and as a consequence, when asked what kind of art I did, I had a hard time finding what to answer. I ended up saying "Pokemon fanart and conceptual art", but it made me sound much less interesting than those semi-professional to professional artists, or than K who was distributing flyers kalistina.deviantart.com/art/C… in order to promote her webcomic kalistina.deviantart.com/art/C…. And now I WANT to start some projects, so that I can say "This is what I'm doing right now", but I don't have any base idea yet. I feel like I'm not advancing at all, but I don't mean to remain stuck at this step forever.

UNICEF's Booklet on Menstrual Hygiene Management Released
The gathering included Santha Sheela Nair, Secretary, Department of Drinking Water Supply, Gautam Budhha Mukherjee, Secretary, Tribal Welfare, Ann Hasselbalch, Deputy Director, UNICEF, Lizette Burgers, Chief, Water and Sanitation Section and many other officials from the government, other agencies and UNICEF India.
Although menstrual hygiene is an issue that every girl and woman has to deal with in her life, there is lack of information on the process of menstruation, the physical and psychological changes associated with puberty and proper requirements for managing menstruation. The taboos surrounding this issue in the society prevents girls and women from articulating their needs and the problems of poor menstrual hygiene management have been ignored or misunderstood.
Good menstrual hygiene is crucial for the health, education, and dignity of girls and women. This is an important sanitation issue which has long been in the closet and there was a long standing need to openly discuss it.
Delivering her address on the occasion, Santha Sheela Nair said "Being a woman myself, I found that besides every other need, there was also a huge issue of menstrual hygiene and women needed privacy and facilities for dealing with menstrual hygiene".
Equipping adolescent girls with adequate information and skills on menstrual hygiene and its management is seen as empowering them with knowledge which enhances their self-esteem and academic performance.
UNICEF developed the guidance booklet on Menstrual Hygiene Management which will serve as a self reference and support girls and women in providing basic factual information about menstruation and its hygienic management will also clarify some of the myths and taboos centered on this issue.
A short advocacy film has also been developed that focuses on the importance of menstrual hygiene and low cost sanitary napkin production units.
Sharing her experience and the convenience low cost sanitary napkins has provided her, Mohana, a 8th standard student from Nemelli Village, Kanchipuram District of Tamil Nadu said " Earlier we did not know how to manage and were forced to go back home if our periods started in school. Now, we have to just keep an extra napkin in our school bag and thus are prepared anytime"
Impressed with the low cost sanitary napkin production and the vending machine installed in schools on an experimental basis, Mukherjee saw its huge relevance in tribal society and schools.
"I was so impressed by the way in which such interventions helped in building confidence and safeguarding the dignity of young women and adolescent girls", he said.
With 2008 being the International Year of Sanitation (IYS), the Total Sanitation Campaign of the Government of India acquires added importance.
The focus on menstrual hygiene management is an essential part of promoting hygiene and sanitation amongst adolescent girls and women who constitute approximately 45 per cent of the total female population.
Lizette Burgers stressed "From the age of around 12 and until she reaches the menopause somewhere in her 40's, every girl and woman has to deal with it. Overall, she spends approximately 2,100 days menstruating which is equivalent to almost six years of her life. So, there is no question that girls and women need to be equipped with proper information on how to handle this issue best for their health and dignity."

So after seeing a few posts on leaves problems... I decided to take a closer at my plants and lo and behold I got a BIG problem! I guess I was so focused on the flowers and the snails issue I failed to notice the other issues. But clearly something is going on.
Now since it has gotten hotter I have been misting the leaves so I'm wondering if that's a no-no? Please analyze this and let me know what you think. A scratch on my J105 leaf. There are two other leaves w/ similar markings. There are quite a few leaves with this type of holes in them. I have noticed spiders and ants on my plants. Could they be the culprits? Here is another plant w/ similar holes. Then some have these strange scars... I don't know what to make of that! Some have really weird shape!! More weird shape and scaring. Now I'm very concerned! This looks like rust maybe?? But only this one from Armstrong that has it. Here is the back of the leaf... does it still look like rust? Last but not least... my Makaha Sunn's leaves are all curling out weird. I have not seen leaves curling like that before. So how worried should I be right now? Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Plants that have been in greenhouses have a bit of a time adjusting to the dry, hot climate outside. Often they need to have filtered sun at first until they adjust. Also, a water drop is like a small magnifying glass and on a very hot day the sun will burn the leaf. I always mist early or in the late afternoon to avoid this problem. Makaha Sunn is a very difficult plant to grow in the mainland and often suffers from the cooler, drier climate, especially the nights. It is often better to just let a plant be because messing with them causes more stress and problems. Over fertilizing, over watering, using insect sprays on hot days can all cause this kind of stress. Go buy a cheap water meter and do not water until almost at dry. This will improve the plant health. To me the dark green leaves say greenhouse and much of this appears to be sun related stress. The hot sun from 11 to 3 can be hard until plants get adjusted. Bill |
Ok so no need to freak out yet right? I won't mist until later in the day. I do have a moisture meter and it always said wet or medium wet! So I'm wondering if the meter is wrong or the soil truly is still wet? I don't know... so I have been using the chopstick to test and I have to admit I still can't tell when I need to water or not. I guess I should leave them alone and stop fussing w/ them huh? Thank you Bill. |

Would it be better to remove these leaves or just leave them on the plant?. It looks like you only have a few leaves per plant. What would be correct? I would think if you removed the disformed leaves, the plant would have more energy to produce new leaves. Barbra |
That's a good point Barbra. Yes only a few leaves are affected. Maybe I will pull them. Thanks! |
- Posted by houstontexas123 z9a (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 23:34
there's really nothing wrong with the leaves. they are able to photosynthesize sunlight just as well as more asthetically looking leaves. its mainly a cosmetic issue. removing those leaves just means less energy your plumies are able to produce. its a similar issue with citrus when we get leaf miners, the leaves look terrible but professionals say to not pick off the affected leaves b/c they are still able to produce energy for the tree. |
Ok so it's nothing serious... then I will just leave them alone. Honestly I was so in awe of the flowers I really didn't noticed the leaves until today. I just thought it was something dreadful... but if you all think it's only cosmetics then I'm cool with that. Thank you! Now I can focus on chasing Wildfire and a few other plants. :) |

It could be you...
Posted by Huw,Here's a heart warming story that proves that, despite all the issues around Goldgate, it could be you...
Brickset member bodybomb3 emailed to say he'd found one: "I bought it from a "Toy Barn" in Worthing, UK. I went there after being disappointed after Argos had no series 10 minifigures. I went in and picked eight bags at random; just grabbed them from a box in the LEGO aisle.
"When I went to pay, it turned out there was a loyalty card promotion: buy 5, get the 6th one free. So I got 8 for the price of 7. I didn't feel them as I just wanted a bit of old fashion luck and a surprise like I did with series 1. Later, I opened 4 and nothing special, then the fifth of the eight packets I pulled out a double bagged gold plated Mr Gold minifigure and I'm still in shock!"
LEGO's official Mr. Gold tracker is now live. 19 have been registered so far.

Well done bodybomb3, although a little too close to my home for comfort!
"then the fifth of the eight packets I pulled out a double bagged gold plated Mr Gold minifigure and I'm still in shock!"
Congratulations, does this mean that you got two mr golds in one packet or one mr gold with a regular CMF??
(I very much doubt I will get this lucky :-( )
*sniff sniff* Oh well. ;)
Good to hear a good story around Goldgate. Hopefully we'll hear more where kids actually get it.
Well done, I think this is how Lego wanted things to work out. But sadly not.
Congratulations bodybomb3, I know exactly how that shock feels!
People should still have faith in finding their Mr Gold though, my local WHSmith had four boxes in (it's only a small branch as well) and when I asked if someone had gone through them to check for the 'gold minifigure' already the two staff behind the till just looked at me blankly and said "what gold minifigure, don't know what you're talking about" They seriously looked like they weren't interested and hadn't got a clue what I was on about and just carried on chatting to each other when I walked away.
I resisted the temptation to check the boxes as I've already got one and didn't think it would be fair to try and get another one (that's the god's honest truth) so there'll be boxes out there for people to carry on checking. Don't give up folks!!
COOL! I'm the only one In P.A. that found him!!!
Congrats on your find to :)
Congrats n finding mr gold.
That its unlikely, I'm hoping this difficulty in finding mr gold is just a publicty stunt and he is easier to find than most expect, but can't this being so.
The number of minifigs found will shoot up on wednesday when the stores open. I wonder if the minifigs are going to be released from the factory over time or all at once.
@Kez-by "double bagged" he means that Mr. Golds pieces are separately bagged in a small clear bag inside the gold foil bag. The stand and pamphlet are separate.
3 found in Illinois? That stinks, as I live there and the fact that 3 have already been found does nothing for my spirits and hopes of finding him.
The Idea that You can feel for certain figures is not new. If you just casually buy a few packs when you see a box chances are you are only aver going to get the figures that are printed the most. All figures that are short printed have been felt for in the boxes and are gone.
I understand this and accept it as a fact. Now that it had been made harder to find and not guaranteed in every box people have become frantic. This is still not going to affect the casual collector or the Grandmother who buys a few for the little ones as treats. For the most part it is only the AFOL who really is angry at this. There will always be children who are disappointed that they are not able to have one, to that I say do you buy every LEGO product produced? LEGO is very good at spreading important characters throughout all sets in a product line. I am sure most of you have gone through this and had to explain that your child can not have every set produced and if you are one of the few who can afford to purchase all the sets produced than you can probably buy one off of eBay if you are not lucky enough to get one in the stores.
My suggestions - 1) if you feel this is a must have for your collection wait a few weeks, as with limited number sports cards, the first few go for high prices and then they will settle down to a sustainable level. I predict between $300-$400 and may go even lower if a lot of dealers place them all up at the same time.
2) for LEGO in the future, why not place 1 gold Parallel if of one of the 16 figures from that series in each box. There would be 16 chase figures that no one could feel for, it really would be luck of the draw. You could even make them different levels of rarity as you do with the regular figures in each box. You still get people to buy more, because lets face it this is all about making more money and not about a bonus for loyal customers.
I know not everyone out there is going to agree with me but it is just my thoughts on the matter. :)
Good luck to all in the search..
and for those who are wondering I usually buy 1 box from an online source, keep a set and sell off the others in a local flea market. For series 10 I have purchased 4 boxes, I am going to open 2 (Yes I would like a Mr. Gold as well) and sell the other packs in the flea market but I will make sure no one will be able to search the packs to give all the customers a chance to possibly get one without them being searched.
Mr. Gold is hard to get rage rage rage blah blah blah.
I think the real issue here is Huw's use of Goldgate to refer to Mr. Gold. Is Watergate the only scandal you can think of? It seems like every minor scandal has the word "gate" stuck on the end of it for sensationalism. What about Teapot Gold? Goldhawk Down? Iran-Goldtra Affair? Or at the very least, go with Watergold.
314 million people out of the 7 billion people on this planet live in the US, that's 4.4% of the world's population. But 6 out of 5000 Golden Minifigures have been found there, that's .12% of all Golden Minifigures. Assuming the Golden Minifigures will be evenly distributed throughout the population of the planet, we'll see approximately 220 Golden Minifigures in the US, about .00007% of Americans will own a Golden Minifigure. However, this is not entirely accurate, since there will probably be a higher concentration of Golden Minifigures where the most Collectible Minifigures are bought per capita. If anybody knows where to find a list of the top Lego markets and how much Lego per capita is bought there, I would love to do more accurate calculations. Otherwise, just look at the map at the link and expect to see more red dots in dot-less areas.
12.86 million people out of the 7 billion people on this planet live in Illinois, that's 0.183% of the world's population. But 3 out of 5000 Golden Minifigures have been found there, that's .06% of all Golden Minifigures. Assuming the Golden Minifigures will be evenly distributed throughout the population of the planet, we'll see approximately 9 Golden Minifigures in Illinois. There're still 6 left, you have a chance!
mean while in the US only a un official lego store has those minifigs NOT in bags and no gold at all!
The minifigs he does have aren't the cool one either the coolest one are paintballer, grandpa and tomahawk dude.
How ever I do love this delightful story A BIG THANK YOU to Huw for telling us the story of A New Hope thanks!
Congratulations on your find
@8BrickMario thanks, good luck on your find :-)
@Legonizer, what are the odds of me still getting one in the UK?
@ Legonizer Assuming the Golden Minifigures will be evenly distributed throughout the population of the planet
That is a fairly bad assumption. Population of Africa and India together are about 2.5 billion. Obviously there are rich parts of both continents / countries where lego may be sold, but for the most part, I doubt there is much lego sold there. And that is a third of the world's population, which is going to skew your calculation.
And no-one really knows about sales in China too - again a huge population to take away.
Congrats on finding Mr. Gold.
Thats the very shop I frequently go myself, so congratulations again.
The Great Lego Gold Rush!
Well done, I hope some KFOLs find them this way.
@ Xackula
"Is Watergate the only scandal you can think of?"
I'm afraid that this is a British press thing and it riles me. Every scandal seems to have the word 'gate' on the end of it. Nothing to do with Watergate Hotel , it's very annoying.
Anyway, fingers crossed that there are plenty of Mr Golds in the UK
Great job on finding him! See, this proves that Mr. Gold can truly be "anywhere!" I'm heading down to my local lego store, TRU, target etc. Hope to find one! I'm crossing my fingers! ??
On the lego mr gold tracker the mr gold counts are making a circle around me on 3 of my bordering states... they are getting close.
Also all the mr golds logged in are signs of the people who r not scalpers or people putting them away in a closet!
I might go to TRU on saturday, wish me luck!
On the tracker 6 have been found in the UK already =D
Just popped into my local Lego store and there was one guy and two staff going through feeling every packet.
What a disappointment, thought the Lego store wouldn't stoop to that!
Just complained to Lego. Odds of finding one are 1:11million. Odds of finding one from Lego store Watford 0. They should do an old school lucky dip complete with saw dust!
^I had a feeling the store in question would be Watford.
Also, Lego have posted a FB status encouraging people to find Mr Gold. Let the real chaos commence!
Wow! 31 found already and 7 in the UK! More in the UK then USA Wow!
This is how it should happen.
This is how mr gold should be found. Nothing but luck. I think bodybomb deserves a mr gold.
I bought 50 packs from my local WH Smiths earlier. No feeling of the packs before hand, just bought them all from an open box. Got home, opened them all. Didn't find a Bee Girl, but I did find a Mr Gold!! I was somewhat surprised and let out a rather rude word! ;)
Yes, I am a lucky so and so!
No, I don't think I will be selling it for a quick profit.
WOW what a lucky lucky man.;)
@Maniac, yes I saw the FB status update and promptly left a little ranty message about 'horribly cynical way to drive up sales, etc.'
Not like it will make any difference as Lego seem to be unaffected by the ill-will this is generating in some corners of FOL-dom compared to the extra sales they will make on S10.
Iran-Goltra-afair I like a lot, even though it has nothing to do with Iran.
Wow!! I live in Worthing!
I guess that this was at Toy Barnhaus in the town centre?
Update/ got 14/16 regular figures at my Watford store. However they say there is no mr golds found yet and they cannot tell you if they find a mr gold (which if they do, they will most likey lie).
today i took a chance and went practically every where i live. but to start two days ago i started in my home town of merthyr and i managed to get all 16 minis, but did not find Mr Gold. whsmiths had one unopened box and nothing found whilst i searched four unopened boxes in the two argos' still nothing found apart from the 16.
so that was 5 unopened boxes and nothing, so i thought Cardiff a big capital with so many shops to check how can i not find him.
so off i went today, first stop whsmiths three opened boxes at the till nothing found but according to the lady a guy may have found one yesterday although she said he said it was bulging so that could of been Medusa... so who knows.
next i went to the entertainer but they didnt have them in stock. so then the first argos, 2 unopened boxes great i thought... but no nothing.
so off i went looking around stores that i thought would have had them but no not out yet, so then i went to the lego store who literally put out two new boxes into their lego minifig holders on the counter, but once again nothing found.
so then i decide to go on a 20 min bus ride to the bay, toys r us first and they had four opened boxes with contents scattered everywhere in fact when i finished looking, their display looked like they were just put out rather than a ebay scalper was raiding the store, so nothing there.
Morrisons and asda nex nothing apart from series 8 and 9.
so on to my second argos one unopened box, nothing found. so i go back into town and catch another bus to another argos one opened box nothing found
by now my feet where killing me. so i got on the bus and went to pontypridd on my way back to merthyr.
whsmiths was my first stop two unopened boxes and nothing found, by now i was fed up..
so i went to my fourth argos, just put out in their display a new box and guess what.. nothing found :(
so i gave up and went back to merthyr town for one look in tescos, seeing they didnt have them out the other day.
one unopened box on the top shelf i took it down opened it up looked and you will never guess... nothing found
so rare is defiantly the word my feet have blisters and my back is in half i didn't eat all day just because i wouldn't have had the time to go everywhere to find him if i stopped for food.
so that makes 14 unopened boxes and 7 opened boxes (i think)
i am frustrated as a collector and completest that people are just walking in to shops on the off chance and going yey found it, and scalpers going yey (ponds/dollar signs in there eyes) with out the thought of the actual collectors. i have to realize if i want this character it will have to be ebay but not at the silly disgusting prices they want, im just unlucky :(
so south wales seems to have little or no Mr Golds what so ever :( so far!!!
I just find one in a walmart in Montréal, Québec , Canada ! i'm so happy !
Come on @Zackula: GOLDWATER.
@timelash: WOW. That's determination.
I've had some odd results in my area: First thing this morning an employee told me they didn't received a toy shipment for today...while standing not 10 feet away from the 3 pallets of toy boxes (including LEGO) waiting to be cracked open and stocked.
At other stores I've seen Series 10 displays stocked full of Series 10, Series 10 displays stocked with Series 9 packs, Series 9 displays stocked with both Series 9 & 10 packs.
Mostly I'm just left laughing, not trusting the employees and thinking 'this endeavor is crazy...but oddly exciting.'
@ Curtis L: yes it was. but i am so knackerd now and would love to go to other areas like aberdare, ebbw vale and swansea but after today's 7 hours of disappointment i really cant be bothered. i know there are more lego boxes yet to go out to stores and there's is plenty of time but arrr... lol.
Tesco just don't know nothing i went yesterday and said do you have lego minis and they said we are not aloud to release them till the 1st, and so i showed her what i got in argos and she said sorry, went today and they said if its not on the shelf its not in the store yet, but i went down and saw it, small writing in a brown box on the top shelf and i just opened it. but no luck ...
last year they had about 6 boxes of series 9 out on display but one box this time so dumb or clever on them.
but should i give up?
hi went to my localtesco on littlehampton tonite new box and felt ever figure loads of medsussa and paintballer but no mr gold was feeling for the hat got some very strange looks as i was there about 15 minutes but will keep trying
btw me and my girlfriend (who found it), had to feel minimum of 12 full boxes that means close to 800 bags felt one by one in 5 different Wal-Mart. I still felt Lucky to find it, even if odds were on my side !
As many are already found, can you say if :
- MrGold's bag comes in addition to the 60 in the box, making them to 61,
- or does it take the spot of a regular CMF meaning a box can contain only 1 full set of 16 CMF ?
Thanks for the information.
^I asked someone on the forum who has one the other day, it's 60 still. It took the place of a Baseball Fielder so still 2 sets.
Congrats I might go to Toys R Us soon maybe so if they have series 10 I will try to feel every single pack and hope to get a Mr. Gold but that is if I go.
LEGO's tracker says seven found in Canada... Hopefully that there's a fair number out there so it's findable, even for maybe only 150/250 lucky people.
So much excitement on this Mr. Gold thing :D congrats on your finds people! no need to spend 900-3000 on him!!!! I didnt when I got mine!!! :D
I went to a TRU a few days ago, and the employee asked if I was hoping to find a Mr. Gold. He then proceeded to tell me that they had 4 boxes and he'd been through all 4 of them feeling for one without any luck. Hmmm.... I guess that's an unintended suggestion to shop elsewhere!
I went to a LEGO store that seemed like it had 200 CMFs... not enough time to check 'em all, so if there was a Mr. Gold, I missed it! Will be going to a Target on Saturday. Wish me luck! I'll need it. That Tomahawk Warrior is the bane of my Mr. Gold-seeking existence. Stupid axe pole! Yesterday, I felt the handle of the Roman's sword and freaked out until I found out it wasn't Mr. Gold.
Everyone who is feeling bags and thinking it's something like 800 bags until you're likely to find him, don't forget that the number goes up when the boxes your are feeling through have been raided by someone else first. ;)
Maybe there should be some sort of tagging system, so if you've rifled through every box in a store you leave a mark by the entrance to save others the trouble. :P
For what it's worth, I can verify that someone found a Mr Gold at a LEGO store in Florida. Not an employee, either. Just a regular customer.
Hey Folks, I have not posted a message in a year.
Well, I just heard about Mr. Gold, and want to say that I called this one a LONG time ago. during series 1 or 2. I posted my thoughts on how TLG was likely to start inserting Chase figures, when interest in the minifigs started to wane.
Let see my other prediction comes true. Theme oriented minifig pack boxes. Like Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings, etc.
I would be astonished if the Mr Gold tracker ends up with all 5000 on there to see.
Congrats bodybomb3! And to anyone else who has been lucky enough to find Mr. Gold! I bought 3 packs at random a few days ago at Smyths Toys but didn't find him. I collect minifigures anyway and have every series so I am just buying series 10 as I usually would. I would love to find a Mr. Gold and if I did I would never sell him, not ever! I would display him with my army of minifigures : ) I really hope that the majority of Mr. Golds are found by people who just love Lego, plain and simple. I have just ordered 9 packets of series 10 from lego.com with my spare VIP points, I need 7 more to complete the series ( not including mr.gold) so i will be happy with whatever I get. Good luck everyone : )
I'm hoping that's not the only one in Worthing... :|
Would also be interesting to see if the Brighton Lego store have been through and checked the bags - they're normally quite good at finding characters like that...
@ Obi_G The Lego store employees are not aloud to feel this time round, they have been told if they are seen to be feeling there will be serious consequences, so you will have to go it your self.
going else were today to see if im lucky after my bad luck of almost searching over 3000 bags on Wednesday im hoping it might be found in the places im going today crossing my figures
This is a little of topic but when you buy 5 minifigures from lego shop.com in the US you get a free poster, 19 by 27 inches with every minifigure from series 1-10. also my fingers are still crossed about finding a mr gold!
I found a mr gold in ireland
It's going to be harder finding Mr Gold here with whole-sale toy stores only selling series 10 as full box sets or each individual bag locked in plastic boxes in retail stores. Opened boxes can't be returned, but I could refund bags. Or maybe I could feel some at local Korean stationary stores...
got a box of series 10 today. NO mr. gold.
strange was that the outer box was sealed, but the inner box was sealed twice???(once cut open)
The only thing that explains that is that in the chech republic (where all lego is shipped from)
the box had already been gone trough.
This figure is really bringing up the bad in people.
Yesterday at a Florida LEGO store, a little girl picked out several minifigures but came back into the store because she got a Mr Gold and wanted to return him and the family had no clue what he was. They were soon told how rare he is so they did not return him. I found it interesting that she picked the figures at random and got one even though people had been looking for him all day!
I think it's so much nicer to see a little 5-7 year old looking for Mr. Gold than a crazy 39 year old. I saw this little kid looking for the "special" minifigure in five below today of course I'm a lot older but its nice to se that little kids are looking for him to. :D
Does anyone else see different chrome color on their Mr. Gold up by his arms?
What do I do with Mr Gold should I act as if he's a normal CMF or "trophy" him?
I just went into a Toys R Us in Canada and the sales clerk was laughing, saying that one of his colleagues had already gone through every box they had looking for Mr Gold's. So no kids from that Toys R Us will be getting any. Pretty sad.
Any one have an answer?
I plan to put him in a small clear wall-mounted case (if I get him), so that he can be played with or displayed!
yes I put mine in a case, but does anyone know if I can fix him if chrome comes off?
Ok so I went to aberdare, ebbw vale and several tescos on the way.. In total I searched through 5 unopened boxes and 4 opened boxes and still nothing, this mr gold is becoming a pain in my backside I have spent out so much on bus travel, I have walked my feet into the ground and had writers cramp feeling what feels like 1500 figures.
18 unopened boxes and 12 opened boxes and still nothing, I am so unlucky.
I don't know about the (tragically poor) chroming issue. If you re-chromed it, wouldn't the printing be lost?
OK finally my Tesco's put out the series 10 display, three boxes opened (well i say three as one was just ripped open at the front with a handful of minis taken from the center) and two unopened boxes bringing now my total to 20 unopened and 15 opened, this time i thought i found it i got so excited but i thought one last feel and it confirmed it was the tomahawk. i really don't know how i got that wrong wishful thinking probably.
so ive now exhausted everywhere i can get too in south wales, some lucky kid, AFOL or some bad eBay scalper out there probably has the only Mr Gold in south wales and congrats, i have dedicated these past couple of weeks in finding it up and down the country blisters on my feet, cramp in my hands looking for 6 pieces of chromed plastic, and now i call it a day hold my hands up and say i will never finish my collection. i refuse to pay eBay prices as they are... for one i don't have that kind of money (being a out of work animator supporting three kids) paying out £500 - £600 on one little toy is ridiculous when you could get two Death Stars for that.
I hope who ever is looking for the rest of these golden sods the best of luck, and im sure if you live in a granny town or some secluded place (which i kinda thought south wales was) that you will be lucky unlike me :(.
Getting a little bummed seeing that 13 have been found in Texas already, which is a staggering amount when compared to the other states.
have you found one in Toys R S
the problem with the Mr Gold tracker is that it tells you what states have found him but for the UK it only says UK. Wales and Scotland are separate and yet we don't know where they have been found for all i know with the 48 found in the UK all the ones in Wales could have been found, its not clear enough on where they have been found a list of city's and towns would be good to give all whos looking an idea of where not to go lol.
21 in California 49 in the UK
i just wish it was a bit more specific rather than 49 in the uk as there are three country's in the uk. oh well im still looking one more unopened box in merthyr today bringing my total of unopened boxes searched to 21 giving me a 82.5% of finding him i think. but i didn't again, i am now getting bored and frustrated im just glad that prices are falling on eBay..
Well, 10 have been found in IL. According to previous calculations, there are either two left in Illinois, or none. :(

No sooner do we hear about the sequencing of the wheat genome, than word comes this week that the genome of the apple has been decoded. The feat was accomplished through a collaboration between 18 research institutions in the US, Belgium, France, New Zealand and Italy, and was coordinated by Italy's Istituto Agrario S. Michele all'Adige (IASMA). DNA sequences of the Golden Delicious apple were produced in 2007/08, and over 82 percent of the genome was assembled into the total 17 apple chromosomes in 2009. Now, over 90 percent of the genes have been anchored to a precise position in the chromosomes. It may all sound like Greek (or Italian) to us non-geneticists, but the upshot of the whole thing is that we should now be able to selectively breed apples like never before, resulting in hardier, tastier fruits.

Wheat genome sequenced – superior types of wheat could result
Scientists from the University of Liverpool, in collaboration with the University of Bristol and the John Innes Centre in Norfolk, have sequenced the entire wheat genome. They are now making the DNA data available to crop breeders to help them select key agricultural traits for breeding. The data is presently in a raw format, and will require further read-throughs and annotations, plus the assembly of the genetic data into chromosomes, before it can be fully applied. Using advanced genome sequencing platforms, however, the task isn't as daunting as it might seem. While the sequencing of the human genome took 15 years to complete, the wheat genome has taken only a year. This is thanks in no small part to U Bristol's next-generation genome analyzers, which can read DNA hundreds of times faster than the systems that were used to sequence the human genome. Read More
Gardening can be physically-demanding work. Whether you're weeding, planting or harvesting, almost every garden-related task seems to involve kneeling down and/or bending forward - definitely not so easy on the knees or the back. For commercial garden workers, however, help could be on the way in the form of the Wunda Weeder, a device which allows workers to lie down as they tend to the crops. Read More
With all the publicity the Gulf Oil Spill is currently receiving, it's easy to forget about another disaster from which the city of New Orleans is still recovering - the flood caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. That flood, of course, occurred because the levee along the city's coastline couldn't stand up to the assault of the storm-driven waves. Daniel Wren, a hydraulic engineer who works for the USDA Agriculture Research Service in Oxford, Mississippi, is now working on a system that might have kept that from happening. He has developed floating barriers that can dissipate up to 75 percent of a wave's energy, before that wave reaches the levee. Read More
It has pretty much become a given that grain crops, such as wheat and barley, need to be started from scratch every spring. This means farmers must buy seeds, use seeding equipment to get those seeds into the soil, then apply a lot of fertilizer and hope for weather conditions that won't be too hot, cold, wet or dry for germination. There are such things as perennial grains, however - plants that, like the grass in your lawn, simply pick up in the spring where they left off in the fall. While perennial versions of common annual grains have seen little in the way of development, a new research paper says it's about time they did. The advantages of cultivating perennial grains, the paper's authors submit, could be one of the biggest advances in the 10,000-year history of agriculture. Read More
Compost filter socks are mesh tubes filled with composted bark and wood chips. Besides making lovely wedding gifts, they are also used at construction sites to limit the amount of silt in water runoff. What was previously unknown, however, was their effectiveness at reducing sediment, herbicides and nutrients in runoff from agricultural fields. Two soil scientists from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have completed a two-year study, measuring just how good a job the socks did when placed in grassed waterways alongside fields. Their conclusion: the socks rock... sort of. Read More
With increasing pressure on global food supplies requiring ever more intelligent use of technology, urbanized vertical aeroponic methods are shaping up as a promising alternative to traditional farming.

Ostara reactors harvest phosphorus from raw sewage
Here's something rather important that you might not know: there may be a worldwide phosphorus shortage within the next few decades. The majority of the world's phosphorus is currently mined from non-renewable phosphate rock deposits, and widely used in crop fertilizers. Scientists have begun to question just how much more phosphorus is left, and what the agriculture industry will do once it runs out. The answer – or some of it, at least – could be bobbing in a pool of raw sewage. Ostara, a Canadian nutrient recovery company, has developed a method for harvesting phosphorus from municipal wastewater and converting it to fertilizer. Read More
Nanopool says the case is clear for spray-on glass
Yep, you read it right, spray-on glass. It could revolutionize the fields of agriculture, medicine, fashion, transportation - really, it would be easier to list where it might not be applicable. The remarkable product, called Liquid Glass, was developed by the German nano-tech firm Nanopool GmbH. Their patented process, known as "SiO2 ultra thin layering" involves extracting silica molecules from quartz sand, adding them to water or ethanol, and then... well, they won't tell us what they do next, but the end result is a 100 nanometer-thick, clear, flexible, breathable coating that can be applied to almost any surface. We're told that there are no added nano-particles, resins or additives - the coating is formed using quantum forces. The possible uses are endless. Read More

Aichi is trying to decide whether to enter Card Capital's upcoming Shop Tournament, but is worried that he isn't good enough to compete. He finds himself coming to the shop anyway, and there's only two spots left! Just then, Kai walks in, and submits his entry form. Knowing that he might get to fight Kai if he enters, Aichi leaps at the chance, but just before he enters, another person sneaks in their application at the same time! There's only one spot left in the tournament, so there's only one way to settle this: An on-the-spot fight! Aichi is full of motivation, but can he defeat an opponent who seems to have accounted for everything?
