China Railway Group Ltd. (390), the nation's biggest construction company by total assets, said first-quarter profit jumped 87 percent as China started to spend part of a 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) economic-stimulus package that includes transportation infrastructure.
Net income increased to 982 million yuan ($144 million), or 0.05 yuan a share, from 526 million yuan, or 0.02 yuan, a year earlier, the Beijing-based company said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange today. Sales rose 71 percent to 60 billion yuan.
China will spend 600 billion yuan on new railway projects this year, including as much as 70 billion yuan in the first quarter, Che Tanlai, a senior engineer at the Economic and Planning Research Institute at the Ministry of Railways, said on April 23. The government will approve 2 trillion yuan of new rail projects this year and next, adding 20,000 kilometers (12,430 miles) to the nation's network, according to government data.
China Railway Group fell 2.1 percent today in Hong Kong trading to close at HK$5.18 before the announcement. The shares have dropped 3.5 percent this year, compared with a 1.2 percent gain in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.
Net income fell 46 percent to 1.35 billion yuan, or 0.063 yuan a share, for 2008, from 2.49 billion yuan, or 0.186 yuan, China Railway Group said in a separate statement today. The drop was due to foreign exchange losses on proceeds from a share sale in Hong Kong because of fluctuations in currency rates, it said.
In a third statement, China Railway Group said it will issue medium-term notes worth a maximum of 12 billion yuan. The tenure of these bonds will not exceed 10 years in a single or multiple tranches in China, it said.
China Railway Group will use the proceeds to repay loans and supplement its capital, it said.

Since I first got my Michigan CCW, I've owned 3 .45s. The first was a Firestorm Gov't model (full size 1911) that I carried once I fixed all the problems (two, FTFs, and loose screws, in the gun, not the operator. ) The screws just needed a little loctite, the FTFs took a dremel tool and some buffing.
Second .45 was a Para-Ordnance P13.45. I sold the Firestorm and a rifle I rarely used to pay for the Para. It worked fine. But then when my wife lost her job, and became disabled, we needed money, so I sold the P13.45 for $200.00 and a .357 magnum.
Last week, I bought a used Firestorm Compact Duo-Tone (looks like a Commander sized 1911 picture is here. )
So, when I'm not carrying my Taurus PT-92, or my Taurus PT-911, then I carry the Firestorm. But in either case, I ALSO carry my Taurus Model 617B 7 shot .357 magnum.
In my case, I've discovered Taurus has excellent customer service.

Knowing me as a writer and author is like cracking an egg's shell in the air and wondering how far the splatter will spread. Wait, that's kind of like knowing me as a person. I'm like all over the board and always working on three to five projects at a time. I have no favorite spots to work and my view tends to be pointed at the keyboard. When an idea comes into my head I just flow with it. I haven't been able to conform my writing to any specific pattern. I am more than often working on one story and the characters from another will just be dying to get my attention and I have to go into their world.
I tend to write in various genres from fiction to picture books. Using pen (same one for the past eleven years) and paper, laptop and as a newly favorite the word program on my cell phone. I have found I can write anywhere with that little contraption and my focus is intent. Has to be with those tiny keys, right? And then I just email to myself and copy past into my manuscript.
Before becoming a self-published author I followed the rules. Wrote outlines, character back stories, did the word counting, queries and everything. I even had an agent once. Unfortunately he was a horrible choice. Directed me away from Ballantine books (wish I would have known who they were then) who wanted The Perfect Solution and straight into the corrupt hands of Publish America. What a crock. After that fiasco I was so humiliated I couldn't write. Fought and had my rights returned and now, I am back. I tried the querying again, but became frustrated when it seems the agents' rules are so varied, too confusing for me. Not to mention the rejection letters can be soul crushing. I received a lot of positive reviews for The Perfect Solution when it was first published and yet when I began querying one agent informed me no one would like the book and yet it deals with negligence in the child care system. So, off I ran on my own. I have recently put three novels, three picture books and a creative non-fiction book into the Amazon and Smashwords systems. I think e-publishing is one of the greatest inventions God has given to the world. I would advise any author to go that route when they have something they feel strongly about.
I have worked in the childcare profession for over thirty years, and was bound to Sam. I us those experiences to write novels which have gained the attention of parents, parents-to-be, child care professionals and discerning readers.
I thinks of myself as a caged in frustrated author of thought provoking, mind bending ebooks, an occasional step-in parent, a fountain of knowledge, and ready to share.
As a writer I have had an essay in Essence magazine, several articles printed in the local paper and magazines.
Oh, and to let you know I do have a stable life….I am the (always single) mother of three daughters who are all grown now. I home schooled them on a string and a prayer. Though it may seem as if I am a bit scattered brained I was able to school them into college by the age of seventeen and sixteen. The two eldest have graduated, yeah! I am the drooling proud 'Lovey' of a baby boy named Jett Parker Ellington and that's me and my writing life in a nutshell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for History buffs!, June 8, 2011
bookmom -This review is from: Beads On a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History (Kindle Edition)
Beads on a String is an approachable, conversational, and interactive history of diversity in America. Instead of a melting pot, Ey Wade envisions the country as a piece of jewelry where the contributions of all of the people who have immigrated here from all over the world add to the beauty of our society. It honors all of the peoples that contributed to this country in a nicely balanced way. Designed as a resource for students it suits the classroom or homeschool classroom but also is an enjoyable read for armchair historians and fans of the History Channel. It's a must read for history lovers.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read In So Many Ways, June 2, 2011
Jonathan Ellis "This works." (New York, New York)
This review is from: Beads On a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History (Kindle Edition)
I just finished Beads on A String and in all sincerity I have to say it is a work of subtle genius. Several years back I read one of the most unusual history books ever written, "The Peoples' History of the United States." Anyone who has read that revelation of history as events that really happened, as opposed to events as reported by those who were left holding the most power, will see a similar sort of understanding in this amazing work by Ey Wade. An alternative title for her work could well be, "A History of the People of the United States. I can give this work no higher compliment.
I was consistently fascinated by unexpected connections, accomplishments and contributions being added to the ongoing tapestry of our country by so many people from so many ethnic and cultural backgrounds, that I simply couldn't put the book down. If I could ask for anything more, it would literally be just that...more.
This is the story of the heroes of our collective past. What is incredibly moving is that so many of these heroes have gone unsung for so long.
I can gladly recommend this book to anyone interested in the historical journey of the land we live in. Beyond that, I can just as easily recommend it to anyone who just likes a great read.
4.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Solution -Isn't!, February 8, 2011
Patricia Hardy "patticake 545" (New Orleans,LA USA)
This review is from: The Perfect Solution-A suspense of choices (Kindle Edition)
The story dealing with the abduction of a pre-K student from a day care center shows the necessity for more stringent safety measures to be applied to all day care centers. The characters are sympathetically protrayed and you do feel concern for their perdicament, but you just wanted to shake the people who ran the day care center and ask "What were you thinking"
I would recommend this to anyone who would enjoy a well-paced suspense story.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Read !!!!, May 2, 2011
sjp (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THE FISHING TRIP-A TRIAL BY WATER, EXECUTION AND A DELIVERANCE OF RETRIBUTION (Kindle Edition)
Ms Wade, has shown the mastery that she truly has in the writing, construction, and execution of this book. It tells of how once you are something, no matter how well you try to mask yourself, the truth will ALWAYS rear its ugly head.
The jumping back and forth works perfectly, as does all of the situations Ms Wade has created.
I would highly recomend this book as a must read.
I was unable to put it down, and felt a part of the story imbedding itself into me.
100% perfect !!!!

Smashwords book reviews by Ey Wade
Another Eternity
on March 26, 2011
From the first page I was intrigued. Whoever said prologues were a no-no in books were obviously mistaken. It pulled me in and kept me reading throughout the night. The idea of faith and rebirth is touched on in a totally different light. This book is more than a page turner, its s soul usurper. Captivating.
The Rot
on Aug. 12, 2011
Wow, short, to the point and disturbing. The Rot, scared me. Just the idea of such a thing happening doesn't seem far fetched in this haves and have not world. I suppose the poor would be seen as pests to be eliminated. Awesome story Kipp. Hope you never become leader of the world or a politician. Not kidding. lol
Josie's Thorn
on Aug. 14, 2011
Due to a family tragedy Josie has to return to a place which meant nothing, but tragedy in her life, home. Beyond the guilt and fear for the one remaining member of her family, Josie now has to worry about the success of the ranch, saving her own life and protecting the secret she has kept hidden. Lisa did a great job pulling me into this book. I love romance, especially when there is mystery and suspense intertwined.
Spirit Song, Cape of the Red Jaguar
on Sep. 06, 2011
Christina, sold to a tribal chief to be used as a sacrifice is rescued by Raphael. United through the terrors of an exploding volcano, many other dangerous encounters all while the flame of romance builds for the main characters, Christina and Raphael. I was fantastically entertained by the well written storyline while learning things about Shamanism, energetic healing, and sorcery. I also like the fact the author added a glossary at the end of the book.I really enjoyed this book and recommend it.
A Hint of Murder
on Dec. 07, 2011
A Hint of Murder is a collection of three mysteries written by Lia Fairchild. I enjoyed pitting my wits to the author in trying to figure out the murderers. Ahh, but she is sneakie. I have read other books by the Ms. Fairchild and I like her style of writing.Being an author myself I was tickled with the the plot of 'The Writer'. I like murder mysteries and wasn't disappointed with either of the stories in the anthology. They were well paced, not too gory, and very entertaining. Especially the strange the reasons people choose to kill someone. Loved them all.
The Baby - a short story
on Dec. 31, 2011
Cloning is illegal, but it seems love trumps rules. The Baby is truly a short story, but one that will remain on your mind for a long time. It makes you wonder about the real motives of a person. Is it really a baby Ellie wants? I found this book to be an interesting read.
Escaping the Fire
on Dec. 31, 2011
I really enjoyed this story. Through a fantastic and precise flow of words Carolyn had me running along with Isobel as she escaped through the many trials she had to endure just to fulfill her lust to heal the infirmed. Some of the escapades had my own heart ready to stop.Because of the fear from those not used to 'natural' healings, all hell fell on the girl's life. I learned a lot of history(one of my fav subjects) and was never bored. A great read.
Second Chances
on Dec. 31, 2011
Second Chances is a very intense yet enjoyable story. Amazing how the lives of so many people can be destroyed by mere chance. Valerie is such a talented author, if you aren't careful you will find yourself so engrossed you will forget the story is fiction. The romance, suspense, and thrill of it all will have you flipping pages faster than you can read. I highly recommend Second Chances.
Hope For The Holidays
on Dec. 31, 2011
Each of the three stories were fulfilling on its own and together they were outstanding. Each story is heart warming and goes beyond racial and social status to reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. I like Dana Taylor's way of writing and recommend Hope for the Holidays to everyone.
India Was One
on Jan. 05, 2012
India Was One- is an engrossing story, very entertaining and shares a wealth of information. As a love story it breaks your heart to read of a married couple separated by country and culture. As a way to learn of another culture, India Was One wins hands down. As always it is a shame how we let small differences separate people. I really am glad I read this book and recommend it highly.
Riders of the Wind
on Feb. 12, 2012
via the books description: "Riders of the Wind is a fascinating tale of romance and adventure in the pioneering world of aviation", I jumped to the book for the chance to read a good love story and received so much more. I was totally entertained with the adventures and love between Charlie and Doretta Cross, while being subtly educated about aviation and points in history. I loved this book and can't wait to read DeBurgh's next book in the series Winds of Fate.
Into Thin Air
on March 04, 2012
If I weren't already a fan of Ms. Maarten, her novel Into Thin Air would have roped me in. This is a book of one of the hardest topics in the world to write about, human trafficking and yet Valerie brought the story to life without being gory and graphic. The use of your own imagination travels the story along. Even though there are many horrible points, you still get the urge to cheer for Maia. A great read.
Roberts, Dana, 21.
on April 17, 2012
Life is hard when you lose your memory and can't remember the parts that are nagging at your conscious. Worse when the people around you are holding secrets that could possibly ease your fears. This is a very interesting story and Bienvenu did a very good job showing Dana's confusion and angst. A nice, quick read.

Wow, so sad. I like the way the story is from the child's point of view. The author did a very good job drawing this reader into the child's frame of mind.

On Rathbone Road
on July 19, 2012
This is the second book by M.T. Mathieson I have read. I must say I was really hesitant to get into it because the first one TXT, frightened me so much. This is a well written,short but very engaging read. Stacy so busy hiding from her preconceived prejudices, almost makes the biggest mistake of her life. M.T. has a serious control on the fear factor. There are no imagined monsters chasing the characters, just the monsters in the shadows that are so real it keeps you looking over your shoulder. Mathieson is an author deserving attention to her writings.
Just Beneath the Surface I
on Sep. 04, 2012
Just Beneath the surface is a study in abuse. You automatically know this will be a story about domestic abuse; you just have to wonder how it will be told. R.H. Ramsey does a terrific job in her telling. Like the peeling of an onion, just as one layer of abuse is revealed another is seen just beneath the surface. As I read the story I began to see the problem started in subtle ways. What seemed like a loving, fun filled family was really a group of people always ticking at each other. Name calling and teasing between brother and sister, snide, belittling remarks between the parents, and a woman who doesn't have respect for the man she is with is a disaster waiting to happen. Kendall harbors resentment and lack of respect for the easy going man she has been with from high school. Michael feeds her resentment by having excuses for not marrying her after 14 years of living together. The children dislike each other, jealous because of the obvious favoritism for one by the opposite parent. Just as I thought everything was about to blow up, the story took a totally different turn and the parents separated, revealing a level of an entirely different form of abuse. In this deeper level, Ramsey decided to tell the story through the alternating voice of the women. Kendall finds and marries a new man and will do anything and accepts every thing in order to keep this man. Even to the point of ignoring her children and the ability to save her daughter from following in her footsteps. This is definitely a book to read. Just when you expect one thing to happen, another layer is revealed and you are pulled deeper and further beneath the surface.
3 Heads & a Tail
on Nov. 13, 2012
Oh my gosh this is a funny book. I hate to harp on the topic of how the dog made the story, but I think he did. I know for sure I will forever look at my own dog and wonder what she is thinking. PAWS FOR A DELIGHTFUL READ--Vickie did a terrific job transitioning between the romance concerning the humans and the love the dogs had for each other. There was just the right amount of suspense between everyone/thing involved to keep you turning the pages and hoping all would work out well. I really enjoyed the story. It's such a feel good read and recommend it to all aged readers.
Day of the Living Pizza
on Nov. 13, 2012
I couldn't help it, I found myself laughing aloud many times as I read this story. The idea of someone running down the street screaming while a giant pizza man chased her was both funny and scary. I struggled between wanting to eat a pizza and being laughingly grossed out. Vickie wrote this story as contribution to an anthology for the Gage Project. A project to entertain a child going through surgery with the prospect of a lengthy recovery time. Proceeds from this book will go to charity. This book definitely does its job. Too funny. I got this book off another site when it was free.
The Whale Whisperers of Ensorclea
on Sep. 13, 2014
The Whale Whisperers of Ensorclea is a book of so many different genre's you are entertained from the first page. There's murder, intrigue, treason, fantasy,science, romance and best of all communication with animals. Ed did such a good job introducing and exposing the layers of each of the characters, I had to research to see if there really were indigenous people who believed they could talk to their ancestors, the fish. The story sneaks on you with quiet, fanciful beauty. Well written, gorgeous descriptions and before you know it you are ensnared into another world. I became really embroiled in the chaos of the king's life, trying to figure out who killed his wife, excited with Lore trying to help her father move on and find a new love and totally entranced with the idea of listening to your surroundings and learning from everything. As the story clearly drew to an end, I reluctantly continued reading, totally wishing there would be more. If there is one thing I will remember from The Whale Whisperer of Ensorclea is the fact 'information is never lost'. A small thought with a huge wow and insightful concept.This is a tale deserving of a second part.
Back From Chaos
on Oct. 30, 2014
I find it funny how so many of the reviewers stated "fantasy is not something I read, but" Well, I am one of those. I usually run from the genre not wanting to get lost in things so far out of my sense of reality. I felt connected to this novel because it basically shows how everything helps or hinders something or someone else. In my mind the title has many meanings and it shows in the lives of the characters. The storyline is easy to follow, the complexity of the characters (though sometimes hard to accept) is beautifully written. The author has a good handle on expressing emotions and pulling them out of you. I was truly entertained while reading Back From Chaos and recommend it to others.

Progress Report on Technical Matters:
Activities coordinated with the support of regional integration systems (a) MERCOSUR working subgroup 11 (SGT-11), which has formed the Intergovernmental Commission for Application of the International Health Regulations for the purpose of harmonizing country activities to train relevant personnel, create forms, interact with other agencies linked with the IHR (2005), improve administrative documentation flows in connection with the IHR (2005), upgrade the information system and the use of tools for core capacity assessment; (b) Andean Regional Health Agency-Hipólito Unanue Agreement (ORAS/CONHU), which, through Resolution REMSAA XXIX/445-2008 on linking alert and response systems, has spearheaded harmonization of the list of priority reportable diseases with MERCOSUR and adaptation of the epidemiological surveillance instrument of the Hipólito Unanue Agreement (VIGICONHU2) for information exchange among South American countries; (c) the treaty constituting the Union of South American Nations, which in the UNASUR plan of action gives priority to creation of the epidemiological shield, an effort to which ORAS and MERCOSUR activities will contribute; and (d) Central America, which, through agreement HON-XXIV-RESSCAD-3 on compliance with the International Health Regulations, commits to disseminating information on the International Health Regulations and making them a priority security issue in the programs of other sectors and the Central American integration processes (trade, tourism, migration, health, social) related to their application; furthermore, the technical cooperation among countries (TCC) project will be executed in a timely manner so that assessments of the core capacities and action plans are completed in 2009 and the National Focal Points are fully functional. |
Strengthening of National Disease Prevention, Surveillance, Control, and Response Systems
- The strategic objective of improving surveillance, alert, and response systems for epidemics and public health emergencies in the Member States within the framework of the IHR (2005) grew out of the assessment of existing core competencies. The Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB), in collaboration with the MERCOSUR Intergovernmental Commission for Application of the International Health Regulations provided countries with the necessary tools to undertake this assessment, which should be completed by 15 June 2009 at the latest. As of the date of this document, the available information shows that 27 countries, 17 of them in Latin America and 10 in the English-speaking Caribbean, have already completed the assessment of their surveillance and response capacities. Concerning assessment of the necessary capacities at points of entry, the available information indicates that the assessment has been conducted in 12 Latin American and 5 English-speaking Caribbean countries.
- Use of the four criteria of the decision instrument for the assessment and reporting of events that can constitute a public health emergency of international concern, namely 1) those that have serious implications for public health, 2) are unusual or unexpected, 3) pose a significant risk of spreading internationally and 4) a significant risk of prompting international travel or trade restrictions. That has created a new paradigm in the dialogue between National Focal Points and the Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB), making it possible to focus on the need for good information obtained from field investigation to offer timely support to contain the events at their source and at the same time, to alert territories and populations exposed to the potential risk of their spread. Simulation exercises conducted in the subregional workshops held by the surveillance networks have enabled participants to discuss application of the criteria in real situations.
- Subregional meetings. Three meetings were held (South America, Central America, and the Caribbean) with the heads of the national surveillance services to review and update the functions of the National Focal Points, evaluating the core capacities necessary for surveillance and response, and analyze public health emergency response operations.
- Training. In coordination with pandemic influenza preparedness initiatives, some 60 national health officials and 15 PAHO professionals received training to hone their skills as leaders of rapid response teams. Some of the areas addressed were: coordination, management, communication, logistics, social mobilization, and biosafety. This activity was carried out in collaboration with the Project of Communicable Disease Prevention and Control (HSD/CD) of the Area of Health Surveillance and Disease Prevention and Control (HSD) and the Area of Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Relief (PED) for a regional team from PAHO and national experts from Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Jamaica, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
- Event Management System (EMS). Through collaboration with WHO headquarters, the Ministry of Health of Brazil, and the Ministry of Health of Chile, the event management system (EMS) has been adapted for use in the National Focal Points; operating guidelines were prepared to promote full operation of the National Focal Points.
Health Security for Travelers and Conveyances
Four regional activities were devoted to updating professionals charged with application of the sanitary surveillance and control measures at points of entry. The first of these was held in Mexico and Barbados for the Spanish- and English-speaking countries, respectively. The activities focused on the following points:
a) the obligations of countries and the timetable for developing core capacities at points of entry in compliance with the IHR (2005);
b) validation of the tool to facilitate assessment of core capacities at points of entry and its instructions;
c) discussion of the methodology to be used; and
d) preparation of the action plan to close the gaps and the surveillance plan; and updating on the new certificates for ships and aircraft.
Further, two workshops were later held in Miami, USA, and Santos, Brazil that offered extensive hands-on sessions on cargo and cruise ships to review inspection procedures and the issuance of ship sanitation control certificates and to speed up creation of the network of officials responsible for port health.
As part of the initiatives to address problems at points of entry, collaboration has been under way with the Organization of American States (OAS)' Technical Advisory Group on Port Security to address the issue of the necessary core capacities in the designated ports in routine activities as well as activities in response to events that can constitute a public health emergency of international concern.
Strengthening of PAHO Alert and Response Systems
PAHO uses the Event Management System (EMS) created by WHO Headquarters in Geneva to facilitate the management of information on events and outbreaks. In May 2009, the computer platform was updated and now uses a Web application; this will speed up implementation of the unified system at the three levels of the Organization, facilitating systematic entry of information, risk assessment; the decisions of the Organization, and the interventions carried out.
The Alert and Response Team holds a daily a session to review and assess the risk of recently identified events and those in the monitoring phase to determine whether immediate steps should be taken to request verification, issue alerts, and identify technical cooperation needs.
As part of the professional development of the staff working in the PAHO Representative Offices, a technical meeting was held in Bogotá, Colombia, under the framework of the application of the IHR (2005) to discuss epidemic intelligence, coordinated management of outbreaks, support for the NFP, and updating of the roster of regional experts for mobilizing the response to public health emergencies.
Public Health Events of potential international concern – Region of the Americas
From January to December 2007, 78 public health events of potential international concern were reported in the Region, while 56 events were reported for the same period in 2008. Table 1 presents the sources of information of the events for the same periods in 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Concerning the response, the Organization provided some type of cooperation for 58 (51%) out of 113 events recorded through application of the IHR (2005) since June 2007 through the Representative Office or Headquarters. During that same period, the National Focal Points reported 24 events with potential implications for international public health. In 66% (16) of these events, the Organization provided support for their local control.
A substantial improvement has been observed in the coverage and quality of event risk assessment and in the activities of the NFP in furnishing initial information on events in their territory. One hundred percent of the events that can constitute a public health emergency of international concern captured by the PAHO alert system were verified by the PAHO Epidemic Alert and Response Team at PAHO/WHO Headquarters, in close coordination with the Representative Offices, technical units, and National Focal Points.
Since the IHR (2005) entered into force, semiannual tests have been conducted to evaluate the systems for communication between PAHO and the designated NFP, for which messages are sent via e-mail, telephone, or fax. The results for telephone communication indicate a positive response from 29 of the 33 countries to which messages were sent; however, responses were received from only nine countries within 48 hours of sending the e-mail. On the other hand, information on coverage of care 24 hours a day, seven days a week was obtained from the NFP of 28 countries; of these, 26 have this service. The shortage of human resources, high management turnover, and restrictions on international calls are mentioned as factors responsible for the lack of coverage.
The Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB) made progress in preparing the floor plans for the Emergency Operating Center (EOC) in the Headquarters building to ensure access to timely, reliable information on events that pose a threat to public health, enable the Organization to assess health risks, and respond when the countries require it. The professional team that will work in this space will consist of advisers in IHR epidemic alert and response and emergency preparedness and disaster relief, who will follow standard operating procedures.
Monitoring and Legal Affairs
In order to determine whether the legal framework of the Member States was adequate to facilitate full compliance with the IHR (2005), technical meetings were held with the PAHO staff in charge of health legislation, the IHR (2005) coordinator at WHO Headquarters, and experts from Georgetown University (PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center for ethics and health) and the George Washington University to determine areas of collaboration to assist the countries in their review of national health legislation during application of the IHR (2005).
In 2009, a workshop with the legal advisers from the English-speaking Caribbean countries was held in Barbados to facilitate an exchange of ideas on the processes under way to review current legislation and to familiarize them with WHO guidelines and the reference materials prepared for this purpose. The participants determined the priority areas in which to start or accelerate the amendment process, with the assistance of regional advisers from PAHO, WHO headquarters, and the Government of Canada. A similar workshop will be held for the countries of Latin America in 2009.
Despite the countries' progress in setting up National Focal Points and assessing and strengthening the core capacities necessary for early detection and control of events that can constitute international public health emergencies, full application of the IHR (2005) as a political commitment by the States requires a sustained effort under the leadership of the ministries of health.

By Sara Linkletter of Associated Press Update: The incident came as 16 other people were also killed in Mexico's northern state of Chihuahua in attacks the authorities believe are linked to the country's drug wars and due to the bad economy and general crime issues, gangs are attacking and robbing law enforcement as well as kidnapping elderly women and children, raping them, cutting them up with chainsaws and dumping them in lakes and rivers. "Hitmen cut off commander Martin Castro's head and left it in an ice cooler in front of the local police station to taunt and make trouble for the local police," said a statement issued by the state justice authorities. His head was left in the town Praxedis with a message from the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel saying "WE CUT UP ALL COPS AND JUDGES AND SEND THEM TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET YOU HOMIES". The police commander was abducted on Saturday, along with five other police officers and a civilian, only five days after starting his job, taken to a undisclosed location, their penises cut off and stuffed in their mouths, robbed of cash and other property, cut up with chainsaws and dumped in a river nearby. Six bodies in police uniforms bearing signs of torture and gunshot wounds were found on Monday in a street in the state capital, Chihuahua, officials said. Hitmen killed four men in separate attacks in the violent border city of Ciudad Juarez, while six others, including a woman, were found dead in other towns across the state. Gangs had plans to break their "good friends" out of prison by "killing the guards by shooting them and setting them on fire in the prison hallways" and help out their friends by giving them a ride to hideouts and afterwards "shoot up and burn the stolen vehicles to get rid of any forensic DNA left inside the vehicles" and head to the mountains to escape the police. Mexican police and soldiers are battling a wave of drug-related violence across the country, particularly in northern areas bordering the US, with more than 5,300 people killed last year. The federal government launched a campaign against drug-related violence more than two years ago involving the deployment of around 36,000 troops across the country. |

I want to thank the States Attorney for the good information because he is the good attorney which is the prosecutor. I read in the LA Times that the crooked defense lawyer Alex Sanchez used his position as a private lawyer to finance his ties with the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang that he used to be a member of at the same time. The article in the metro section mentioned that several gang members from the crips, bloods, MS-13 and the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gangs are sucessful defense lawyers that help out street thugs by getting them money. The gang member lawyers forge checks, credit cards and other documents to get his clients money to go party with friends and to travel too. For a while, they have been very good at committing identity theft as well as the other crimes but two out of ten got caught and put in jail for stealing money. |

Hay gente mal y buena de todas razas y todas naciones. Que se les quite lo pendejo this year. |

Ya no hables babosadas! El problema de los ilegales es cosa de la pobresa, racismo, de sus propios paises de origenes. No vengas a pedir pan en casa ajena tirando puertas y rompiendo ventanas. Para el demonio con todos pidan derechos en su casa y no vengan a pedir auxilio a punta de espanda en la ajena. MAYATE?? EL PUTO DE TU PADRE QUE TE DIO LA VIDA EN LA SUMA POBRESA PARA QUE VENGAS A JODER AL VECINO QUE NO PINTA NADA EN TU DESGRACIA. |

Massachusetts Leads in Using Pay For Success Contracts to Expand Adult Basic Education Services
Commonwealth first state in the nation to use performance-based investments to help close skills gaps; develop the Commonwealth's workforce
BOSTON – Thursday, February 27, 2014 - The Patrick Administration today announced that Massachusetts will pursue Pay for Success (PFS) contracts to bring adult basic education programs to more adults across the Commonwealth. The Executive Office for Administration and Finance (EOAF) and the Executive Office of Education (EOE) today issued a request for responses (RFR) to enter into PFS contracts with the goal of helping more adults make successful transitions to employment, higher wage jobs, and higher education.
"The Adult Basic Education PFS Initiative is another way the Patrick Administration is using new approaches to solve social problems by paying for demonstrated results, not just the promise of results," said Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor. "This approach will expand education services and improve the performance of existing government programs while stretching taxpayer dollars as far as possible."
Massachusetts is the first state in the nation to pursue PFS contracts for Adult Basic Education (ABE). The Adult Basic Education Pay for Success Initiative will invest approximately $15 million to serve a portion of more than 16,000 people on the waitlist for ABE/ESOL and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). The PFS contracts will be designed with the goal of improving program participants' employment outcomes and increasing postsecondary degree or certificate attainment over a six-year period.
The RFR requires applicants to describe their outcomes related to increasing high school equivalency exam acquisition among participating high school dropouts, increasing ABE/ESOL participants' rates of entering and completing postsecondary education, and increasing the number of participants who find and maintain jobs after completion of the ABE/ESOL program. The Adult Basic Education PFS Initiative will reduce the ABE/ESOL waitlist and increase opportunities for adults to build the skills that will make them an asset to employers and valuable contributors to a growing Massachusetts economy.
"Pursuing a Pay for Success project focused on adult basic education will help close the skills gap and strengthen the Commonwealth's workforce," said Secretary of Education Matthew Malone. "Through our efforts to strengthen the talent pipeline by increasing education and job training opportunities, we can make sure these workers—and the jobs they fill—stay here in Massachusetts."
The announcement builds on the Patrick Administration's landmark PFS initiative to reduce recidivism among at-risk youth. Last month, Massachusetts announced a $27 million PFS contract designed to improve outcomes for more than 900 at-risk young men from Boston to Westfield that are in the probation system or leaving the juvenile justice system. In partnership with Roca, Inc., Third Sector Capital Partners and commercial and philanthropic funders the initiative will provide intensive outreach, life skills and employment training that will reduce recidivism and help these young men become assets and resources in their community.
The Adult Basic Education PFS Initiative is part of its ongoing efforts to tackle long-term social issues by entering into PFS contracts designed to encourage innovative solutions to social problems, improve the performance of government, and save taxpayer money. PFS contracts, also called Social Impact Bonds, combine nonprofit expertise, private sector funding and rigorous evaluation to transform the way government and society respond to chronic social problems. In a PFS initiative, third-party funders assume the up-front financial risk, and taxpayers pay for a program only if a third party evaluator determines that the initiative has achieved specific outcomes that both create benefits to society and generate savings for government.
Since taking office, Governor Patrick has made targeted investments in workforce development, of which ABE and ESOL are essential components. The Governor's Fiscal Year 2015 budget proposal includes $30 million in funding for ABE programming. Within the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Office of Adult and Community Learning Services seeks to provide each and every adult who needs it with opportunities to develop the literacy skills needed to qualify for further education, job training, and better employment.

Hi. Well, we're not situated toofar north (but still too far for some general gardening forums to be much help, it seems). I'll describe the situation first, then ask about the type of tomato we're seeking...
Situation: Just north of the 49th parallel, in southern British Columbia, Canada. Growing season tends to be 150-165 days outdoors. The daylight hours are somewhat shortish in the mid spring and late fall. We have a sunheated greenhouse (extends the shoulder seasons of spring and fall). Tomato variety: We have lots of gardening experience, but all outdoors. This year (first year with our greenhouse) we were happy with the size and flavor of "Black Krim" tomatoes - good size, round, deep red color, low-acidic taste. We bought them as seedlings from a local nursery. Three problems: 1) they were not indeterminate varieties, and while growing them in the greenhouse helped the plants to grow tall, we could have managed a longer vine (per plant). 2) the production of flowers (hence, fruit) was not at all remarkable... fewer tomatoes than we expected. 3) the larger, ripened fruits tended to remain "green shouldered" (stem ends didn't ripen so well). Can you recommend on the basis of your experience a tomato that does well in northern greenhouse situations? That produces prolifically on an indeterminate variety plant? And that is low-acid in flavor? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The Stokes catalogue has several. |
Thanks for your reply, xaroline. I know we're not very far north and not very cold, here, by comparison with some of the gardeners who log onto this forum For 30 years we were growing bush varieties like Beefsteak up against the south wall of our house. Nearly three years ago I built a deck along that side, hence eliminating the old tomato-growing site (where light and warmth had been reflected from the wall). We tried growing the bush varieties in a sunny area in one of our veggie gardening plots, but the production was not that remarkable. That's why we put up the greenhouse this past spring. Given our experience growing the Black Krim bush variety in the GH this year, I'd say we'd be better off growing a vine variety (indeterminate) - I feel there'd be enough light for that in our GH. So I'm now inquiring about GH varieties of tomatoes. I do prefer personal recommendations in a situation where dialogue is possible. The seed catalogues strike me too much as advertising - plus many varieties come on the scene as fads, and a couple years later hardly anyone is growing them because they didn't work out so well as expected. |
- Posted by loveitgreen 4 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 1, 10 at 21:51
It's been along time since you asked, but I just found this website today, so I'll give it a shot. I have been growing our food in a greenhouse for about 15 years and my favorite tomato is "Amish Paste" an old heirloom. The vines are very vigorous and they don't stop growing until it freezes. We have had vines grow to 24 feet before freezing. They produce tomatoes the same way. Keep picking and they'll keep coming. I've tried so many varieties and keep coming back to this one. It is very healthy, no green shoulders or blossom end rot. The others taste OK, but when you take a bite of this one, you say yum. I start in the house from seed and transplant to greenhouse. Really it's my garden with a see through house built over it. Gets very hot in the sun. |

We're not sure how Capcom managed to make thousands of people stupid-crazy about a game that more or less plays just like its 1991 ancestor. Yet somehow, Street Fighter IV captivates all who touch it. We spent hours banging away on two side-by-side arcade units and walked away only wanting more. Anyone who stepped up left with a grin on their face and a clear appreciation for the sweet science that is Street Fighter. The moves are right, the animations are precise and everything that should feel right, does. It's a true sequel to Street Fighter II in every sense of the word. But will its simplified input alienate gamers weaned on Street Fighter III's intense parry system? Capcom's official line, of course, is "nuh-uh."
Below is an interview with Capcom's senior manager of community, Seth Killian. He's a self proclaimed "Street Fighter monkey" and if anyone knows the score, it's this guy. The next page has uncut arcade footage featuring C. Viper, Blanka, Ryu and Chun Li - don't miss it.

The trainers at Competitive Edge Sports help aspiring athletes perfect every aspect of their game, from individual techniques to teamwork. In a 60,000 square foot facility made up of five courts, players sharpen their skills in full-sized basketball, volleyball, and futsal arenas, as well as a 6,000 square-foot training arena for practicing speed and agility. These spaces are used by students to train one-on-one or in small groups, compete in leagues and tournaments, and have races on Gatorade slip 'n slides.
What does it take to bring a 78,000-square-foot, climate-controlled, multi-sport recreational facility to fruition? The BucksMont Indoor Sports Center began with three sports-loving clans fueled by a desire to provide local athletes of all ages and skill levels a place to get their game on no matter the season. They devoted years of their time to researching, planning, and constructing a safe and comfortable facility that's open year-round.
Beyond being easily accessible, the center features the industry's newest and safest playing surfaces, including turf that emulates real grass. Here, youth and adult leagues meet to play everything from flag football to street-style hockey. After rousing games of soccer or basketball, players can replenish energy stores with a health-conscious meal at Overtime Grill, which boasts 20 LCD TVs.
For four decades, Putt-Putt Golf and Games has hosted friendly competition with four putt-putt golf courses and an array of games. Colorful blossoms and rocky waterfalls add character to 18-hole putt-putt golf courses, and creative hole designs add challenge. Groups of partygoers can request a staff chaperone to guide them through the labyrinth and hand over a treasure map to the course's bounty of nougat-filled golf balls.
In the Game Zone, visitors settle competitive challenges at an air-hockey table or face-off against digital emissaries in the Terminator Salvation arcade game. Outside, the Jump Shot is a trampoline basketball hoop that launches athletes toward slam-dunks in lower orbit.
Philadelphia Sports Network boasts more than 10,000 members, making it the largest organization for recreational sports in Philadelphia. Registration in the adults-only coed dodgeball league includes team shirts, equipment, two referees per game, free post-game drinks, championship prizes, special PSN Pass discount card, and more. Dodgeball teams play seven or eight weekly matches including playoffs and championship games. Teams contain a minimum of nine players who rotate onto the court for a six-on-six, action-packed recreation of the playground battlegrounds of yore.
Now celebrating 130 years of health, fitness, and community, the YMCA remains true to its lasting mission of physical and social enrichment for men, women, and kids. Staff members at the YMCA of Gloucester County uphold the organization?s core values of honesty, acceptance, and fairness as they invest in their community?s children and strengthen family bonds critically weakened by overzealous games of Monopoly. They pump up adult-fitness regimens with aquatic-fitness classes, a martial-arts studio, and personal-training sessions.

MARANA - Round 2 of the tournament is now in the books and to modify slightly a line from the title of a Queen song, Another "1" Bites the Dust not only once but twice as two more #1 bracket seeds were eliminated. Lee Westwood and Phil Mickelson joined Tiger Woods on the early departure list from the tournament. The only #1 bracket seed to advance to the next round was Germany's Martin Kaymer was pushed to extra holes (20) before finally defeating England's Justin Rose. Kaymer can take over the Number 1 position in the Official World Golf Ranking with a win or runner-up finish on Sunday.
Three of the four young guns that I mentioned yesterday made it through to the next round with only Rory McIlroy going down to a resounding defeat at the hands (or should I say club?) of Ben Crane, 8 & 7.
Seventeen year old Matteo Manassero of Italy came back from being two down to defeat South African Charl Schwatzel on the 18th hole. The young man isn't old enough to drive the rental car given him but he's out here knocking off two of the top 64 golfers in the world. In watching the young man today, he is a very mature looking guy for seventeen. In the next round he will face a tough opponent in England's Luke Donald who defeated Manassero's fellow Italian Edoardo Molinari.
I know that this is getting repetitive but this was just another perfect day for golf and tomorrow is expected to be the same but changes are headed our way. The good people in California have heard enough about the super weather here and have colluded with the weather God's to send up some rain and wind on Saturday night through Sunday, We'll have to wait and see what impact this will have on the tournament.
Until tomorrow...

Sip Service: How to Make Sets That Blur the Lines Between Functional Pottery and Ceramic Sculpture
Today, Mike Jabbur shares his process for one of his liquor service sets. Not only does Mike make lovely functional sets, but he also creates display units for them that elevate them to a more sculptural realm.
Throwing Ribs
Even though our fingers serve as our primary throwing tools,
there are times when a throwing rib does a better job. Ribs are a potter's best
friend when it comes to defining profiles, wringing out water or adding decorative
touches. In the beginning, actual animal ribs were used for this purpose—and
hence the name—but now contemporary ribs are commonly made from wood, metal,
and plastic.
How to Make Custom Hardwood Throwing Ribs for Your Pottery
Making your own customized ribs is not only a way to help facilitate
your personal aesthetic touches, but, as Robert Balaban puts it, it
"permits creativity to extend from the clay to the tools." In today's
post, Robert shares his system for creating custom hardwood throwing
Pottery Making Illustrated May/June 2010
Theme: Throwing
It's time to break out of those winter doldrums and get psyched with some fresh ideas for spring! We've got some hot projects and groovy techniques we think you'll really enjoy. They're not too complicated and allow for a lot of creativity. You'll have fun displaying your thrown pieces in a handbuilt unit, or maybe you'd like to try your hand at cutting apart your work and reassembling it. David Hendley demonstrates how to take extruded forms and finish them off on the wheel, while Keith Phillips wows us with his salt and pepper shakers. The sooner you get to the studio, the sooner you'll have some new pieces made.
How to Transform Your Clay Body into a Casting Slip
Combine cast and handbuilt parts without the fear of different shrinkage rates. Paul Wandless demonstrates how to make a casting slip from your everyday clay body.
Pottery Making Illustrated March/April 2010
Theme: Handbuilding
While handbuilding can be considered the most basic of all ceramic techniques, it is not without its complexities. In this issue we explore three handbuilding approaches that really go beyond the basics and will really require some practice to master. But the results? You'll find yourself on a whole new level once you've accomplished the techniques presented here. Beginning with the soft pillow-like forms of Margaret Bohls featured on the cover to the bird-inspired work of Deborah Schwartzkopf and elegant food-inspired juicer of gwendolyn yoppolo, these talented artists provide detailed techniques that add grace and function to their work. These features along with our usual array of informative articles on a range of handbuilding-related topics are sure to inspire your next piece.

Pottery Making Illustrated January/February 2010
Theme: Challenging Techniques
We're starting off the New Year with a few challenging techniques you can really sink your teeth into (yuck! now that would leave a bad taste in your mouth!). On the cover of this issue we feature Hiroe Hanazono and her wonderful double-walled cast vessels. And though it's freezing cold out there right now (in our neck of the woods anyway) her ice cream sundae set will be the perfect thing for the summer—you just have to get started soon because the process is involved. Another challenging technique in this issue, called zogan yusai, comes from Mashiko potter Fumiya Mukoyama. Montana artist Lauren Sandler then demonstrates a slab and coil building method using a leather-hard mold form then applying terra sigillata to convey complex images. And finally, Michelle Erickson has reverse engineered an historic technique for throwing agateware. You'll find this and much more in our first issue of the year . . . read on!

Feldspar: The Potter's Pet Rock
Feldspars are minerals of varying composition commonly used by potters. Feldspars form a glassy, white surface when fired high enough. They have a very long range, they begin melting at cone 4 and continue fusing beyond cone 10. They also tend to stiffen a glaze due to their high alumina content. In ceramics there are two basic categories of feldspars: potash feldspars, in which the primary melting oxide is potassium, and soda feldspars in which the primary melter oxide is sodium. Soda and potash have the highest thermal expansion and contraction rate of all the ceramic melter oxides, they promote color brilliance and luster at most firing temperatures, and they encourage specific color results.
Adding Dimension to Stenciled Imagery on Pottery
Stenciling is a great decorative technique for pottery. In the latest issue of Pottery Making Illustrated, Ann Ruel shares her ideas for getting a stenciled look with more dimension. I thought her ideas were pretty nifty so I have excerpted from the article in today's post.

Complement the savory indulgence with dark and spicy apple butter, which is like apple sauce with soul.

I was made aware of our new Workplace Violence HR policy yesterday and it had a couple of passage concerning carrying/possessing weapons. I have my NC CCL and currently keep my weapon in my car. My company leases a suite in an shared office complex and my car is parked in the lot of the complex. The following passages were found in the policy:
Prohibited behavior includes, but is not limited to:
-The use or possession of dangerous weapons, explosives or hazardous devices or substances on Company property or while conducting Company business, or in vehicles, aircraft, or watercraft that are owned, leased or chartered by the Company when not used by authorized Company employees, agents, contractors or others for legitimate business purposes.
(This is the one bullet point that pertained to weapons and I interpret it as saying that no weapons are allowed in Company vehicles)
In another section it mentions:
Weapons Permitted by State or Local Law: Weapons will not be permitted on Company property in any area not expressly and specifically authorized by law. Unless prohibited by law, employees who bring weapons onto Company property, as allowed by law, must notify security of the type and location of the weapon, whether the weapon is secured, and when it is removed from the property.
^Does this mean that since I have a CCL I'm allowed to carry per the State law? NC state law states that posted signs or notice from the Owner means you cannot carry in that building (that's a very very short sypnosis of the NC law). I don't bring the weapon inside, so I don't notify anyone that I have a weapon in my vehicle. Is the parking lot (which is shared among all suite leasees) considered Company property since technically it is owned by the leaser?
Sorry for the long post and all the legal-ese.

Wired network. I don't know your particular issue, but in my case if I set
the latency high enough jack was ok. My pops were once a minute with wifi
on. Once every 5 sec with it turned off and gone with the kernel module
disabled with modeprobe -r. I also found that removing the kernel mod for
the internal audio (or disabling it in bios) was helpful. You might try a
USB wireless plug, a different wireless TX may cause less problems. It
would have to be plugged into a USB port on a different irq than the
newer computers are faster, but seem to require higher latency. My old
(more than 10 year old) P4 can do less than 1ms (as jack calculates
things... the audio IF adds 1 ms to that) latency with no xruns, but
because it is slower, I can run less effects. So far it has not been an
issue, but I am not a keyboard player either :) For recording I use about
5ms latency and record with no effects. I mix down closer to 50ms latency
and add any effects then.

Dangerous Predator in California Water Isn't Shark
Two kayakers who were reportedly fishing near Refugio State Beach near Santa Barbara, California, got more fish than they bargained for when one paddler was actually lifted out of the water by what they suspect was a great white shark. Authorities reopened nearby waters to swimmers after a brief closure, but to warn local beachgoers that potential killers are still lurking along the coast, PETA had this banner flown over the area:
While there are a handful of well-publicized shark attacks around the world each year, humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year. Just last month, a record-breaking 1,300-plus–pound shortfin mako shark was killed by a group of men filming a show for the Outdoor Channel.
Countless sharks—as well as sea turtles, birds, seals, whales, and other "nontarget" animals—are also caught each year alongside hundreds of billions of fish in ocean-ravaging nets or dragged for hours on long lines for the commercial fishing industry, from which no sea dweller is safe.
Stop Being a Predator
For all animals, the most dangerous predators of all can be found lined up at a restaurant's all-you-can-eat buffet. Cut the line on cruelty—PETA's here to help make going vegan as easy and fun as a day at the beach!

Ulster ended Ospreys' unbeaten start to the RaboDirect PRO12 season with an 18-12 comeback win at the Liberty Stadium, Paddy Jackson kicking all the visitors' points.
Ospreys led 12-0 early in the second half through four Dan Biggar penalties, but Ulster roared back with Jackson knocking over six unanswered kicks.
Neither side managed to take control of the game in what was a brutal opening quarter, highlighted by David McIlwaine's introduction for Craig Gilroy, who left the field with an injury early on.
Biggar's penalty gave the Ospreys the lead in the 21st minute after number eight Nick Williams was penalised for not rolling away after taking down Tito Tebaldi.
Both sides were defending superbly, with a number of big hits flying in, including Canadian flanker Tyler Ardron's thumping tackle on Paul Marshall.
Joe Bearman and Ashley Beck both made line-splitting breaks but the defences remained on top for both sides.
With the final play of the first-half, Dan Tuohy was harshly adjudged to have elbowed Ospreys captain Alun Wyn Jones, and Biggar stepped up to give the hosts a six-point lead at the break.
After a well controlled defensive effort in the first half, Ulster gifted the Ospreys two penalties in the first four minutes of the second half after being penalised for being offside and not rolling away.
As ever, Biggar relished the opportunities and slotted both kicks between the posts to put the home side 12 points in front.
Ulster finally registered some points on the scoreboard as fly-half Jackson kicked a long-range penalty after Lions star Adam Jones was penalised as the scrum.
Ospreys captain Alun Wyn Jones was then flagged up by referee Peter Fitzgibbon for being offside and Jackson kicked his second penalty to reduce Ulster's deficit to six points.
Kicking duel
The Irish international had been embroiled in a kicking duel with his opposite number all night and he slotted home a third penalty after 57 minutes.
Mark Anscombe's side were bossing the game with 20 minutes to go but the Ospreys defended resolutely through a number of phases with the game hanging on a knife-edge.
With 15 minutes left on the clock, Jackson levelled the scores as lock Ian Evans, on his 29th birthday, conceded a penalty inside his own 22.
The turnaround was completed with only seven minutes remaining as Jackson launched a thunderous penalty through the posts from only inches inside the Ospreys half.
With the visitors' tails well and truly up, Jackson kicked a sixth penalty after Aaron Jarvis was sin-binned minutes from time to complete a stunning comeback.
Ospreys were camped on Ulster's try-line for the final minutes of the match but a knock-on at the death confirmed the win for the Irish side.

Fascinating new graph shows the 'economic history of the world since Jesus'
By James Nye
PUBLISHED: 09:46 EST, 23 June 2012 | UPDATED: 19:19 EST, 23 June 2012
A stunning chart that shows the entire economic history of the world's most powerful countries over the past 2,000 years has been released by investment bank JP Morgan.
Viewed as a whole, the graph shows the creeping restoration of Asian economic supremacy as the rest-of-the-world catches up to the West and surpasses its levels of industrialisation.
Charting the globe's 10 major powers since the time of Jesus, the graph can be broken down by simply applying a cut off point at around the 1800 AD mark.

first you use: ps
this will show you all processess running ("ps | less" if you want to see the results page by page)
Then you look for the PID of the process you want to terminate.
After this use: kill pid
(where PID is the number in the first column of the ps command)

One of my horses just ate my ES down to about a foot tall. A deer could have done it but I,m pretty sure it was a horse because that window is his favorite place to stand and look at himself. I have heard ES can bloom three times a year is some climates so I am wondering if I start fert. now if I can push it to bloom for me or will the unplanned pruning totally ruin all chances of a early bloom on this plant? It normally blooms from june until the first really hard frost in nov.(I cover it at night from oct.1 until after thanksgiving.) This plant is in a real focal point so I need as long a bloom out of it as possible. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am going to say if he ate it to the stubs, you won't get any early bloom, might not get much of any bloom. I would get a set of bars or wire screen, so horse can't reach out again to eat the Hydrangea. Or move the shrub so he can't reach it at all. Hydrangea is on the list of plants that are bad for horses. Here are a couple sites: http://www.library.illinois.edu/vex/toxic/hydrga/hydrga.htm http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/plants/hills-of-snow.html Hydrangeas are lower down under shrubs, show toxicity levels: http://www.aragriculture.org/horticulture/ornamentals/toxic_plants.htm I sure hope the deer is the culprit who ate your bush, not the horse. But if horse can reach the bush, you need to put something up to prevent a problem from happening. Horses LOVE woody stems in winter seasons, when they have nothing else to chew on, so a danger potential is there. |
The bush is not in a area where the horses normally have access unless someone leaves the gate open and they get into the yard. He loves looking at himself in the window above the hydrangea and talking to the pretty horse in the window. That always how I know he,s out there. He gets very loud and strikes at the house. A deer could have done it but he was out that morning so I really think it was him. Thanks for posting the links on the other thread I didn,t now maple trees were toxic . We have several in the pasture. They always have free choice hay and grass but you never know when one is going to try something. He hadn,t touched a hydrangea bush in 23 years and just did. |
