The war in Afghanistan should weigh heavy on the public's mind, given the recent increase in troop levels and grumblings from high military officials about the manner in which the war is being fought. Now there's news that a NATO airstrike has killed 90 people, 40 of them believed to be civilians, in the northern part of the country.
White House / Pete Souza
General Stanley McChrystal, the top-ranking U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, on Monday issued his highly anticipated report about the status of the conflict on that troubled front, and his assessment of the situation doesn't fully help President Obama's cause in ramping up America's Afghan war effort since he took office.

After an initial bulk-up in the number of troops in Afghanistan earlier this year, the commander of NATO forces in that country is preparing to ask for 20,000 more international troops as part of the ongoing war against the perpetually resurgent Taliban.

Tensions continue to build before Thursday's presidential election in Afghanistan. After a spate of violence in the capital city of Kabul on Tuesday, including a suicide car bombing that killed at least eight people and wounded 53, the government banned local news outlets from reporting any similar incidents on election day.

After eight years of getting nowhere in Afghanistan, U.S. and British forces have decided to open negotiations with "second-tier" Taliban leaders. Those would be local bigwigs, as opposed to Mullah Omar and friends.
The basic question is whether the United States wishes to treat Russia as a permanent enemy, even if it is not. The result of treating states as enemies is that sooner or later they become them.
An account from the Taliban side of the Afghanistan war, which was published in The New York Times on May 5, provides devastating evidence of the failure that almost certainly will eventually overtake the United States and NATO.
If Obama had wanted to give the NATO allies prudent advice about how to avoid terrorist attacks, he should have told them to have nothing to do with the American war on terror, even if it is now under Obama management.
President Barack Obama draws upon the traditions and meanings behind "two very different holidays"—Passover and Easter—as his jumping-off point for his weekly address about the state of the country and the world ... and about his time rubbing elbows with other world leaders during the past week.
President Obama's NATO allies may have responded favorably to his call to ramp up the war effort in Afghanistan, but anti-war demonstrators near the French-German border made their opinions known with protests following the photo ops in Strasbourg, France, on Saturday.
Afghanistan's women are no longer in vogue. President Karzai has just signed a law that forces them to obey their husbands' sexual demands and in general again consigns them to lives of brutal repression.
NATO today, approaching its 60th birthday, faces the prospect of sending home all of its units not willing to fight in Afghanistan under the American flag. They will go home to "defend" Europe. From whom?
A hawkish speech by President Dmitry Medvedev may signal a massive overhaul and escalation of the Russian military. Fears of a growing threat posed by NATO have pushed Russian officials to plan a modernization of the country's conventional and nuclear forces by 2011.
France's president has lived up to the stereotype that his people, fond as they are of home vacationing and generally convinced of their own superiority, not infrequently fail to know what they are talking about when dealing with foreign countries.

The president must be getting bad advice. Why else would he offer not to build a missile defense system he doesn't want in exchange for Russia's help with an Iranian nuclear weapons program that doesn't exist?

Vice President Joe Biden held forth at a NATO meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, reinforcing President Barack Obama's message from last weekend about a slight shift in foreign policy with regard to Afghanistan and urging NATO to be vigilant about the threat of attacks from extremist groups harbored by Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Combat troops are to be pulled out of Iraq by August 2010, President Obama said, but some 50,000 occupation troops will remain behind. Someone should let the Iraqis know the distinction.
USAF / Staff Sgt. Aaron Allmon
I have often asked for an explanation of why the United States should be at war with the Taliban. Of the several reasons given, none is satisfactory, and all fail to grasp the fundamental truth that peace is better than war.
Exactly what do we think we are doing in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Are we there to liberalize their forms of religious observance, or conduct a war over theology, or establish permanent NATO bases there, or are we searching for Osama bin Laden? It seems that we are doing all of these things at the same time. But why?
AP pool photo / Alexei Druzhinin
Relations with Russia haven't been this frosty since there was an East Berlin. President Obama may be distracted by other priorities, but getting reacquainted with Vladimir Putin and his nuclear arsenal should be at the top of the list.
NATO has no coherent overall purpose and has not had one since the end of the Cold War. Any number of redefinitions and reorganizations have been proposed or tried and have proved unsatisfactory because no one can explain what it is that NATO really does or is for, other than to clean up behind the United States.

As Israel's Security Cabinet prepared to vote Saturday on a possible cease-fire in Gaza, the Israeli army drew criticism for the killing of two boys who were taking cover at a United Nations school in northern Gaza, according to The New York Times.
U.S. Army / Staff Sgt. Michael Bracken
An American living in Kandahar writes in The Washington Post that the "corrupt gunslingers" the U.S. put in charge of Afghanistan are as much to blame for the resurgence of the Taliban as anyone. "Why," after all, "would anyone defend officials who pillage them?"
Why are the allies waging war against the largest of the native ethnic groups in Afghanistan? The NATO answer is that the allies didn't set out to fight a war against the Pashtuns. It just happened that way.
When the journalistic pack bites into a tasty cliché, they often refuse to let go, lazily chewing and regurgitating a phrase like "team of rivals" long after the flavor is gone.
President-elect Barack Obama introduced his principal national security Cabinet selections to the world Monday and left no doubt that he intends to start his administration on a war footing. It is revealing that his choice for national security adviser is a director of Boeing, a weapons manufacturer, and Chevron, an oil giant.
What is the message of a terrorist attack that fails to deliver a message? Threats and warnings are being exchanged by India and Pakistan over the attack on Mumbai, carried out by presumed Muslim extremists. But acting to what purpose, and under whose instructions?
USAF / Tech. Sgt. Jerry Morrison
Multiple news outlets, from ABC to Fox, now confirm that Robert Gates will retain his post as secretary of defense for at least the first year of the Obama administration. The president-elect will roll out Gates and his other hawks during a national security team unveiling next week.
Barack Obama has said that he is not against war, only against stupid wars. One might then reasonably ask if the present war in Afghanistan is not a stupid war?

In the dying days of the Bush administration, yet another presidential claim in the "war on terror" has been proved false by the withdrawal of the main charge against six Algerians held without trial for nearly seven years at Guantanamo prison camp.
Governments, like corporations and modern organizations of all kinds, make much of systematically teaching "lessons learned" to those newly arrived to responsibilities, yet they seem infrequently to succeed.
It did not take the clash between Russia and Georgia to reveal that relations between Russia and the West have taken a bad turn. They have been deteriorating since the mid-1990s, when the decision was taken to expand NATO to include the former Warsaw Pact states.
Military and economic disasters have caused Europeans and European governments to view the United States in a new, unflattering light.

When U.S. troops massacre Iraqi civilians in Haditha because their buddy has been murdered, what is the difference between their revenge and that of Saddam?
The issues that have fueled Russian-American tensions in Europe in recent months, and European tensions with both Russia and the United States, have suggested a willingness on all sides to reignite tensions that on the face of it serve no one's real interests. Recent developments could change all that.
DoD / Michael L. Casteel
Victory in Afghanistan? That's "neither feasible nor supportable," according to the outgoing commander of British forces there, who tells The Times of London that the Taliban "seems relatively impervious to losses." The Afghan government must instead reach some political settlement with more moderate insurgents, concluded Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith.
There are at least three differing accounts of exactly what happened on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border Thursday, but most agree that American and Pakistani forces shot at each other. Cross-border raids by U.S. forces into Pakistan's territory have inflamed relations between the two countries.
Although she acknowledged that Georgia fired the first shots in August's bloody conflict with Russia, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday laid most of the blame for that showdown on Russia. During a strident speech, she also gave several other examples of how she believed Russia's leaders were taking their nation down a dangerous road.
Thanks to Russia's incursion into a belligerent Georgia in mid-August, a country in possession of Washington's assurance that it soon would be given a "membership action plan" for joining NATO now hasn't a hope of membership in the alliance.
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is finally answering questions from a journalist in ABC's three-part interview series with chosen reporter Charles Gibson. Palin comes out of the gate with guns blazing, rewriting history about the Georgia-Russia conflict and considering the possibility of a U.S. war with Russia in the first episode, airing Thursday.
The United States has just invaded Cambodia. The name of Cambodia this time is Pakistan, but otherwise it's the same story as in Indochina in 1970.
Cell-phone footage shot by a doctor in a makeshift morgue in Azizabad, Afghanistan, showing rows of dead Afghan civilians, including several children, has led to a renewed inquiry into an American-led airstrike that occurred on Aug. 22. American officials had previously insisted that only seven civilians had been killed in the attack, but they're now having to face the possibility that the actual figure could be as high as 90.

Russia announced Wednesday its willingness to withdraw its remaining troops from Georgia if, and only if, some conditions were met: one, bring international peacekeepers in to replace Russian soldiers and, two, Georgia must sign nonaggression pacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
NATO has now been broken because it was used by the United States and the European NATO members as a tool for expanding Western power into the Russian "near abroad," and after that, to make an inexplicably rash and dangerous effort to break into and split off portions of the Russian empire as it existed in the 19th century—long before the Soviet Union existed.
Where in the world is Condoleezza Rice? Well, as the ink was drying on the deal she signed to secure Poland's cooperation in the United States' controversial missile shield project, Secretary of State Rice turned up in Baghdad on Thursday for an unscheduled visit with Iraqi leaders. Surprise!

The Bush administration continued efforts to resurrect the Cold War this week by demanding that European governments back sanctions against Russia. So far, America's allies in NATO are showing relative restraint in the face of a transatlantic temper tantrum.
For reasons too numerous to fit into a short summary, Pat Buchanan isn't someone whose writings we'd routinely pick up on this site. However, in this case his essay about the Georgia-Russia conflict, er, bears repeating here, if only to illustrate how not all conservatives see the recent clash in Eastern Europe the way the Bush administration does.
Since Karl Rove skipped out on his subpoena to appear before the House Judiciary Committee last month, the whereabouts of Bush's longtime political strategist have emerged—Rove was in Crimea, Ukraine, for the fifth annual Yalta European Strategy summit. Also in attendance: former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.
"Unfortunately, today we are looking evil directly in the eye," an emotional Mikheil Saakashvili said Friday after he signed a cease-fire agreement to end his country's eight-day showdown with Russia. The Georgian president declared that other European nations ignored clear signs of impending conflict last spring and he hinted that trouble could also be in store for other countries.
With the worst timing imaginable, the U.S. and Poland announced a missile shield deal on Thursday, which prompted a Russian general to strut like a peacock and threaten to punish the land of pirogi. The proposed missile shield has been a go-to irritant for President Bush to use on old friend Vladimir Putin, and for an obvious reason: It works.

Hey there, So I've had some time to waste this week and my LHBS is only open a few days, so I have planned my next few brews and made some labels for them... basically modified versions of my first label. Below are all of them so far. Obviously ABV and tasting descriptions will be changed (as well as little font alterations and whatnot that people mentioned in my previous post). Just havin fun with it...that's all (MORE IN THE FIRST REPLY)
I'd like to see a pic of those on the bottle. I think simple lables show much better on the bottle. Nice work! I especially like the descriptions
Yeah I'm going to pick up some label paper soon. I agree with the simple labels. I feel like I'm going to have a seizure when I look at Flying Dog labels, for example
Sweet labels. Thats my next thing to figure out. I'm not too quick with photoshop....mine must be written in Japanese or something! I hear ya on HDYB. I wish it was open more myself. I'm gonna stop by sometime tomorrow for some more ingredients and another carboy. Joe mentioned last time that they are looking around for a new location. He's tired of having to carry all of that stuff up that ramp out front.
Great labels! I love the simplicity and the music theme. I take it you're a musician?

On August 30, 2013, ANNA submitted a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the Proposed Rule: Changes to the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Prospective Payment System (PPS) for Calendar Year (CY) 2014 (CMS-1526-P), which was released on July 8, 2013.
On July 12, 2013, the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality / Survey & Certification Group within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a memorandum clarifying the responsibilities of ESRD facilities to comply with the National Fire Protection Association Life Safety Code (LFC) 101. The memorandum points out the following:
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has partnered with several other organizations to develop an interactive online course on workplace violence prevention for nurses and direct-care health care professionals. Workplace violence incident videos and nurse testimonials are incorporated throughout the course to enhance the learning experience, and continuing education is available.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the proposed rule "Changes to the End-Stage Renal Disease Prospective Payment System for CY 2014." This rule includes the proposed reduction in the prospective payment system (PPS) to account for lower drug utilization as required by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. CMS is proposing to reduce the base rate in the PPS by 12%. CMS is also proposing a market basket update of 2.9%.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has released the 2013 PHS Guideline for Reducing Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus Transmission Through Organ Transplantation. This guideline updates the 1994 U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Guidelines for Preventing Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Through Transplantation of Human Tissue and Organs.

Video: Shotgun-wielding 90-year-old surrenders after SWAT standoff
Police responded to the scene Thursday after the woman, armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, threatened nearby construction workers
By PoliceOne Staff
CHANNELVIEW, Texas — An armed 90-year-old woman was arrested after a four-hour standoff with a Texas SWAT unit.
According to KPRC, police responded to the scene Thursday when the woman, armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, threatened nearby construction workers after being angered by their excavation of dirt onto a barge near the woman's residence.
The woman - Eleouise Adcock – is reportedly the last holdout in the purchase of land in the area.
Adcock had threatened the workers multiple times previously, but the level of Adcock's anger made the standoff the first instance the police were called to the scene.
Adcock refused to drop the shotgun, and sat on her porch as police negotiated with her.
Around four hours later, with SWAT surrounding the residence, police were able to convince Adock to put the gun down.
Adcock was escorted to nearby paramedics without incident and sent to the hospital for a psychological evaluation.
Police say no charges are expected against Adcock.

Criterion Files #24: High and Low
Criterion Files By Adam Charles on November 10, 2010 | Be the First To CommentAs discussed in last week's entry in the cannon of the Criterion Files with Carol Reed's The Third Man for our themed month dubbed "Noirvember", the delineation of what is considered film noir is as gray as the pictures that encompass the genre (if genre is what it's believed to be). It's many things yet nothing distinctive.
In many cases, the aesthetics of low-angles and dark photography dominating the image mark a common visual signature that's distinguishable, but not always definitively 'noir' and not always present in film-noir. Yet, somehow, we kind of know it when we see it.
In other instances, visual style takes the backseat of the police car in a picture with literary elements of crime, corruption, betrayal and other sinful activity found quite often in the films considered undoubtedly 'noir,' yet their presence does not define their categorical placement amongst films like The Third Man. Yet, somehow, we sort of just know it when we feel it.
Taken in its literal context the word 'noir' simply means dark. Dark what? Dark anything, really; and that's part of what makes the genre so non-distinct and occasionally contradictory. A dark film is not necessarily noir, but noir films are in one way or another dark; and some in ways that non-noir films can be.
Therefore, the only definitive fact about film-noir is that it's an abstract concept thanks to films like Akira Kurosawa's High and Low (1963), loosely adapted from Ed McBain's crime novel "King's Ransom", and is in many ways the antithesis to what would be considered dark for nearly eighty-percent of its running time. Yet, when you see it, you feel it, and its inclusion in consideration for what is noir further expands what the genre can be, or doesn't have to be.

Hi All :D been a bit hectic around here over xmas etc so have only just whizzed in quick to give you an update,the boys go back tomorrow so I'll be around more then :niceone: Had quite a few problems since the 29th when we had the pads fitted to Ryan's brace..his little red bit is now a huge red bit when he takes it off(not sore still just red) so there is obviously a lot more pressure being applied,he asks to take it off after a couple of hours so we are basically starting from scratch again :-o would it be best to loosen the straps a little or should we persevere do you think??? Hope everyone had a great xmas and new years I have millions of posts to catch up on!!! Dee XX

FROM THE PRIVATE FILES OF MARK OSBORNE©: This is sad but true. Irvin Kershner, the director of what was probably the most influential movie of my entire life, The Empire Strikes Back, has died. Not many details are being given, but apparently he had been sick for some time…
I just recently had the pleasure to see TESB on the big screen in honor of the 30th Anniversary (with a Harrison Ford Q+A afterwords!) and I was so happy to see that the movie I loved so much throughout my life holds up. I have so much affection for that movie because at 10 years old, I was perfectly primed to soak in everything that movie had to offer. I'm pretty sure I still believed it was all real and it became my religion even more than it had already been. I actaully got to hear Yoda teach Lunk the ways of the Force, so I was convinced I knew everything I needed Each movie had it's own vibe and feel and as much as I love the first one, Empire and Kershner's work within that universe is what firmly anchored that universe for me and turned a childhood joy into an obsession. Here are some images of him at work and a video clip to remember him by:
And here's a nice interview I found today where he talks about his relationship with George Lucas:
And here's a loving tribute to my most favorite toy from the entire movie franchise:
And you can buy the "Making Of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" book HERE.
How does a CORPORATION innovate? This is the question that has plagued STATISTICAL ANALYSIS PROCESSING ENGINES for centuries. Steven Johnson's book, Where Good Ideas Come From, The Natural History Of Innovation is summed up nicely for humans in this "RSA Animate" short.
That doesn't seem so hard does it? Go innovate!
In his book Bagombo Snuff Box: Uncollected Short Fiction, Kurt Vonnegut lists eight excellent guidelines for writing a short story…
(but the HAPPY PRODUCT STATISTICAL PROCESSING ENGINE© believes that he could have been talking about short films as well):
- Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
- Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
- Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
- Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
- Start as close to the end as possible.
- Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
- Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
- Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
Follow these instructions and you should make lots of humans HAPPY©!
Seth Godin gives a tour of things poorly designed, the 7 reasons why they are that way, and how to fix them. Very good wisdom for those seeking to make people HAPPY©!
Seth Godin is an entrepreneur and blogger who thinks about the marketing of ideas in the digital age.

I am going to need time to consider this but it really does seem that this will come down to how Gambit has dealt with some of the big-name sharpshooters in the Marvel Universe (e.g. Domino, Bullseye).
It would also be key to see what kind of range Gambit has been able to produce with his abilities.
To just make an earlier estimate, Deadshot seems to have range and skill here. But, I provide what I think may be relevant but I am unsure if it counts as pre-New 52 since I am pretty sure it is out of continuity but regardless there is no reason this should work.
I'll put the image below but I'll quote it since I needed to take the photo and the quality may not translate well.
Batman to Deadshot: "Bite-activated locking mechanism. Interesting. Secondary armor beneath the kevlar faceplate. Clever. The blood liner is a stroke of genius, but not nearly as innovative as the insulated costume that masks pulmonary functions and breathing. All designed so you can play possum if you're shot" - Batman: Cacophony, Kevin Smith
I'll leave this here and follow along before I vote but I will say I am leaning Deadshot on this one.

A fire-spitting device has turned an ordinary motorized wheelchair into a set of hot wheels.
The flame-throwing wheelchair is the brainchild of Lance Greathouse, a Glendale, Ariz., dental equipment repairman.
"It started out as a rescue helicopter seat. I had an electric golf cart and an old lawn mower and put the parts together and it was born," Greathouse told ABCNews.com.
His other creations in development include a six-wheel-drive chair, an ejection seat wheelchair and a "Dr. Evil chair," named after the Austin Powers character, complete with a barbecue.
"They show the person's personality — what they're like, what they're about," Greathouse said.
In between creating tricked-out wheelchairs, Greathouse said he also restores a few each month at his own expense and donates them to an Arizona charity.
"There are so many wheelchairs laying around not doing any good. I'm constantly getting requests for chairs," he said.
His passion for restoring wheelchairs and dreaming up custom creations came, he said, when he watched his brother's five-year battle with a rare form of Parkinson's.
"I saw people treat him really differently in his wheelchair," Greathouse said. "It was, 'What's happened to you?' They felt sorry for him"
After he created a souped-up wheelchair for his brother, Brent, Greathouse said it "changed the way people looked at him."
He said he hopes his custom creations do the same thing for other people who use them.
"They want to live and have fun just like everybody else, [but] there aren't any choices out there," he said. "A lot of people think I am crazy, but every disabled person who sits in my chair says, 'We love it!'"

'Things I Found on the Street' Journal
I get so excited when I find handwritten notes, grocery lists, forgotten school papers, tickets, and other little treasures that once belonged to other people. Welcome to my new little side project! I've been finding many of these things on my walks and have begun gluing and stapling my findings into a simple journal handmade from a paper bag.
I love the effect. Here are some more peeks:

text: Basketball fans returned to Indiana University's Assembly Hall Wednesday evening for a women's game just one day after metal fell from the ceiling, damaging seats inside the arena. Engineers used a crane to inspect the roof of Assembly Hall a day after an 8-foot-long, 50-pound piece of metal came loose from the arena's ceiling and crashed into a group of empty seats below. University officials said they don't believe there are structural issues with the roof, but they might consider taking a look at long-term design changes.

Moss doesn't really put roots into the soil or surface underneath it so much as anchor itself to the soil or surface using a rudimentary structure called a rhizoid. Moss can grow on trees, rocks, soil, sand, roofs, old gym shoes, foam rubber, old rugs etc. but moss cannot grow or attach itself to a smooth surface because there is nothing to grip.Once I found Brachythecium salebrosum Except when you are growing moss in containers you generally will want to use a soil or other surface that moss can grip. Moss on soil and soil pH. pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a soil is. 99% of the time, just assume that the moss you see or want is a moss that likes acidic soil because the greater majority of mosses like an acidic environment. If you see moss attached to limestone or clay then that moss likes alkaline soil, otherwise just assume moss likes an acidic environment. If you don't know whether your soil is acidic or alkaline then ask your county extension office or any landscape nursery. If you do not have acidic soil and wish to make your soil acidic then add sulfur powder sometimes called soil sulfur which is sold at nurseries and landscape and garden centers. George Schenk in his book Moss Gardening recommends applying about 2 ˝ pounds of powdered sulfur per one hundred square feet. He recommends a pH of 5.5 which is quite acidic. Buy a cheap soil test kit and learn how to use it. I like the kind of test kit that you put a little soil in a plastic vial, add a capsule of test powder and fill to the recommended level with distilled water. You then compare the color of the soil solution with a chart to determine the pH of your soil. Moss hugs the soil. Moss needs close contact with the soil or whatever surface is underneath it. Since moss cannot retain water, except a small amount within its' cell leaves, moss does best when it can wick the moisture when needed from the surface or substrate beneath it. If moss is not in close contact with the soil then the small pockets of air dry out the moss and cellular activity is suspended when moss is dry. Kinds of soil: Black, brown, clay or sandy Black, brown, or clay should be treated as above for pH. Clay particularly has a tendency to be alkaline. For clay if you want to grow mosses that are not normally found on clay then the pH must be adjusted. Clay doesn't drain well so if mosses are growing on it the water stays on the surface longer and the mosses stay hydrated longer. Compacted soils of all types is where mosses do very well because compacted soils drain poorly. Do not use potting soil unless you plan on watering frequently. Bonsai which do have fast draining soils are watered daily and in hot weather even twice daily. So bonsai moss get watered very frequently. Sandy soil a lot of times in northern climates is acidic because sandy soils are glacial sand deposits. These glacial sand deposits contain large amounts of granite sand particles which are mildly acidic. So Maine, Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin, northern Ohio et al, those states seem to be mostly glacial sand deposits. Other parts of the country like the middle of Illinois for example has little surface sand so one would think you could go out and buy a bag of builders sand and use it to grow moss. Probably won't work for acidic moss. Sand from the garden shops and home centers may be excavated sand and excavated sand is usually alkaline. Can you adjust the pH of alkaline sand? Yes and no. Yes you can adjust it but sand is just miniature rocks which will need periodic testing and adjusting. Alkaline rocks like limestone are never going to accept being changed to acidic. It's like trying to change a lion into a house cat. Not going to happen. Those states that have glacial sand deposits also get a lot of rain. Lots of rain. Sand drains quickly and that can be a good thing if you get a lot of rain. If you are trying to use excavated sand and your yard is not in a northern tier state or get excessive rainfall then your alkaline sand will also leave your moss dehydrated most of the time. Now moss can live and grow in the desert but the moss you are trying to grow on excavated sand probably didn't come from the desert and doesn't like your alkaline dry sand either. You might think that mixing some peat moss in with the sand to add water retention and increase the acidity would seem to be a great solution. Unfortunately peat moss mixed with sand is an unstable combination. The peat usually deteriorates or blows away and the sand never retains any of the peat's acidic qualities. Builder' or garden center sand can be used to grow acidic moss on it if you add a lot of peat and minimize the drainage, or ……. just grow your moss on peat. Note: beach sand from the ocean contains salt and thus cannot be used for growing moss. Peat moss as a soil. Both Schenk and Fletcher mention growing moss directly on blocks of peat moss. Peat moss is acidic and does retain water but will give up the water to growing plants as they need more water. Schenk has several pictures of great looking mosses growing on blocks of peat. Peat moss is a good idea for a soil for small areas. Water Crystals For some mosses periodic wet and dry cycles may be important in the moss' life cycle but if you want to propagate your moss or just have it display well then keeping the moss hydrated is important. Since rains and mists may not be every day then water retention may allow moss to wick moisture as needed. Some soils accomplish this is in different ways. I mentioned clay above but clay is also alkaline so it has pH issues. We have mentioned how peat moss can retain water. Another soil amendment that also retains water is the water crystal(s). About thirty six years ago I listened to a presentation in Peoria by a scientist from the USDA Research Lab about a starch based water retention crystal. He said the crystals had only a few uses they knew of at the time but eventually they expected many more ideas would pop up. As time passed the crystals showed up in diapers now they are in the potting soil. Both Schenk and mossacres .com recommend using water crystals mixed in with your soil. Three years ago I found on the web a bulk source for Hortasorb which is one brand of water retention crystals. I think I paid twelve bucks for two pounds. The crystals each retain water equal to anywhere from thirty to one hundred times their dry weight and then release the water as needed. For any moss garden from the size of a clay saucer up to two hundred square feet I would recommend using water crystals. Do you have to have water crystals? No but if your moss would do better by being hydrated for longer periods of time then the water crystals are a good idea. The crystals can be bought at many garden centers. Other surfaces: Sandstone, granite, concrete and synthetic Sandstone and granite are mildly acidic rocks. Sandstone may have varying amounts of clay in it but generally when the rock appears to be reddish or sandy in color and have lots of sand particles then it is acidic. Fresh concrete is alkaline and must be treated with a wash of vinegar which is acetic acid or wait a few months. Moss in the wild grows slowly on rocks and concrete and is difficult to transplant. Except for some moss growing on sandstone let me say it is impossible to transplant moss from those surfaces. You end up with small amounts of moss scraped off the surface and to move that moss you harvested to another rock you have to glue it and hope that it will receive enough moisture on its' new rock. Transplanting moss from rock to rock is a tricky business. Better to start from scratch and take the bits of moss and make a slurry and spread that moss mix on the new rock. Moss slurries will be covered in Moss Propagation FAQ. Can you take moss from the soil and plant it on a rock? Schenk says never. Fletcher doesn't say. Lets' assume the moss on the ground can also grow on rocks and that is usually not the case. If the moss is mature in size for its' species then it is used to receiving regular moisture that it needs. You put that moss on a rock and it must be glued tight to the rock so there are no air gaps. Glue probably inhibits any water wicking so if you stand the rock in a saucer of water, a favorite trick of Schenk's, then it is difficult for the moss to wick water across the glue joint. Better to use moss slurries on rocks and concrete and that is covered in moss propagation. Synthetic surfaces Moss can grow on surfaces like shingle roofs, foam rubber, old rugs, tennis shoes. The moss anchors itself to these surfaces and then just grows. Some mosses don't grow on soil, Grimmia for example, and only grow on rock. Moss on trees and logs Moss growing on logs and trees. You can try transferring these mosses to soil but depending on the species it may or may not work. Usually moss growing on wood likes wood. There are some mosses that are ubiquitous; they grow on anything. Like the genus Brachythecium which seems to grow everywhere. Mossacres.com has the moss of the genus Dicranum another common moss which they refer to as rock cap moss and they grow it on rock and say it can grow on soil. Decomposed granite and chicken grit. Nurseries and garden centers carry a granite sand called decomposed granite which is mildly acidic or neutral. Decomposed granite is used for walkways and is an excellent surface for growing moss. Chicken grit is usually another granite sand. Netting, landscape ground cloths and frost cloths. Netting is used to keep the birds and squirrels from wreaking havoc with your moss. In the springtime birds take moss for nesting material. The rest of the year, birds like to toss moss looking for critters underneath. Ground and tree squirrels may bury nuts in the fall. I buy a fine cheap fabric netting from Walmart that is found in the fabric/sewing section. I call it taffeta. It is black and almost invisible. The netting "squares" are about one quarter inch. The netting is invisible from eyelevel. Netting also makes it easier to remove leaves in the fall from your moss garden. Nothing can protect moss from pine needles. That is why in nature moss finds it almost impossible to grow under pine trees. Small moss gardens should have landscape fabric about one inch under the topsoil. Landscape ground cloths keep vascular plants if the start growing in your moss garden from putting down deep roots and they keep any germinating seeds from below the ground cloth from growing to the surface. Frost cloths are white spun cloth that are used to keep regular vegetable garden plants from freezing in the early spring and late fall. Frost cloths extend the growing season for garden plants. In the moss garden use frost cloths as a light cover to increase the humidity in a moss garden during hot weather if I want to keep that moss growing rapidly. Frost cloths should be loosely floating above the moss and should not be left on for more that a few days at a time. Rick |

Does moss on the soil of greenhouse plants affect the growth of the plant or indicate a symptom of a problem other than over watering which has already been adjusted. Thanks |

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It is very informative. The presence of moss growing on the surface of a potted plant may or may not be something to be concerned about. I think it depends on the kind of plant you are growing and the kind of culture you are providing the plant. Generally the moss must be well irrigated as well as having the necessary humidity and temperatures needed for it to survive. Most plants that do not require copious amount of aeration to the roots, such as orchids, may be at risk of root loss since the moss would tend to serve as an indicator of soil decomposition. A careful look at your plant roots should be the rule when growing with a dense moss growth. Even with orchids there are some that do quite well with the dense moss, Dendrobium cuthbertsonii for example. The best rule is to know the cultural needs of the plants you are growing and be able to make a determination that the presence of a dense moss growth is a plus or a minus in your cultivation. |

Interesting article,now you say at one point that clay is alkaline,and I read or was told ages ago that adding lime to clay soil can break it up,suggesting that clay is actually acid. True? |
Greenlarry, I had the same question as you do. I live in a newly constructed home in West Virginia and have a yard full of clay soil. I had a soil test done and the results indicated my soil needed lime. So I just bought a bag of lime yesterday to throw on my lawn to help break up the clay. I also have a stone walkway that goes from my driveway to my front door. I was reading this thread so I could get some ideas for trying to grow moss between the cracks of my stone walkway (even though it gets sun up until about 2:00 pm). After reading the comment from Deep Woods about clay being alkaline, I'm wondering if there could be different types of clay . . . . |
I know that our clay is alkaline. It seems quite possible that there are many different kinds of clay, though. -Jmcat |

Hi I need help, I just bought the house and the backyard has clay soil. There are a lot of moss on top of dry split clay soil and the soil smells like fish stink odor. Will moss generate fish smell? I worry the smell doesn't come from moss but other major issues like environmental soil problem or previous seller did something like chemical. If anyone can point out or help, I really appreciate. Thanks! |

Liverworts contain oil bodies in their cells. These oils can have a variety of scents ranging from musky to fishy. So the smell could be coming from the liverworts. You could mash up some of the plants in your hand and see if the plants themselves are giving off the odor. Sometimes the smell of the plants can be helpful in identifying the species. |

Disregarding surfaces. I've found moss growing in wet sand, would that fair well growing at the bottom of an aquarium in sand? Assuming Ph and alkalinity can be adjusted with out harming fish. I know there is a thing called a marimo moss ball that has a clay center and the moss I've found has the exact same appearance and texture as the marimo. |

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
29 "He replied, 'No, you'll hurt the wheat if you do. | 29 " 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. |
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds and burn them and to put the wheat in the barn.'" | 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' " |
31 Here is another illustration Jesus used: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. | 31 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. |
32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants and grows into a tree where birds can come and find shelter in its branches." | 32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." |
33 Jesus also used this illustration: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast used by a woman making bread. Even though she used a large amount of flour, the yeast permeated every part of the dough." | 33 He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." |
34 Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. In fact, he never spoke to them without using such parables. | 34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. |
35 This fulfilled the prophecy that said, "I will speak to you in parables. I will explain mysteries hidden since the creation of the world." | 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world." |
36 Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, "Please explain the story of the weeds in the field." | 36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." |
37 "All right," he said. "I, the Son of Man, am the farmer who plants the good seed. | 37 He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. |
38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. | 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, |
39 The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels. | 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. |

At regular intervals, Suresh Raina excels in the role of a 'finisher' in the shorter versions of the game. Coming down the order, the left-hander has often kept India on the right track. Now with Mahendra Singh Dhoni hinting at sending Raina up the order, the batsman is obviously delighted.
"I would love to bat up the order. When you know that you are going to get 10-15 overs, while batting at No. 6 or 7, it's always good (to get a chance) to bat up the order.
"But as long as I am playing for India, winning matches is more important for me (than the batting position)," said Raina while talking to the mediapersons ahead of India's final One-Day International against England here.
"I think, when you are batting at No 5, 6, 7, it is important you finish the game. I have been batting well in the last 10-15 games. One more game to go and then I'll be looking forward to the Test squad (against Australia). Hopefully, I can make the team," he said.
Looking ahead to Sunday's match, Raina said toss would be "very crucial" and continued, "Batting first, there is no particular target but it is important that you bat well against the new ball and if you have wickets in hand then you can build on the start. We are leading 3-1. It will be nice if we make it 4-1."
Admiring the picturesque venue, Raina said, "I would like to congratulate Himachal Pradesh for hosting its first international match. Of the five games in this series, we are playing three matches at new venues — Rajkot, Ranchi and now here.
"It's good that international grounds are coming up in India. The pitch here is always good for the bowlers and it will be a good challenge for the batsmen."
Raina also hinted at a more aggressive approach from the Indian line-up on Sunday. "Now that we have won the series, you are going to see a different batting approach from us. The first 10-15 overs are going to be very crucial and then we can play our aggressive cricket."
He praised the efforts of the Indian bowlers so far in the series and said, "Ishant (Sharma) has led the attack, with Bhuvneshwar (Kumar) and (Mohammad) Shami bowling really well. (Ravindra) Jadeja and Ashwin have put in good performances. So overall the team's morale is very high."
