With the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943 and normalization of U.S.-China relations in the late 1970s, Chinese immigration to the United States has steadily increased, to a population of more than 2 million. Using the latest data, this Spotlight highlights characteristics of Chinese immigrants from mainland China and Hong Kong, including their top state and metro areas of residence, immigration pathways, educational attainment, and more.

In Moldova, 100,000 children have been left behind by migrant parents; in Ukraine, there are 200,000 such children. The scale of labor migration and impact of remittances on both economies have prompted Moldova and Ukraine to work with the European Union and international organizations to develop policies addressing the welfare of left-behind children. This article examines research on the effects of parental migration on children and the policy environment.
Normalization of relations between Cuba and the United States will have a significant impact on U.S. immigration policy and future Cuban migration to the United States. This Policy Beat explores the U.S.-Cuba migration relationship, as fear of changes to the "wet-foot, dry-foot" policy has spurred hundreds of new boat arrivals in recent months.
The Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 examines key migration developments of 2014. The Top 10 touches down around the world: from Africa, where the Ebola outbreak prompted quarantines, travel controls, and bans; to Europe, confronting rising humanitarian flows; to the Middle East, where the migrant worker regulation system is under ever sharper attack; and to Asia, where reform to China's hukou system could benefit more than 100 million internal migrants.
Migration to the United States from the Korean peninsula, largely from South Korea, owes its roots to political, military, and economic factors, with an estimated 1.1 million Korean immigrants in the United States. Korean migration to the United States has stalled in recent years, and even declined, with a small but growing number of immigrants and their U.S.-born children returning to Korea, as this article explores.
This country profile analyzes Ecuador's migration trends and examines how remittances and return migration have become an important policy focus for a country with an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million nationals living abroad, chiefly in the United States, Spain, and Italy. As waves of emigration occurred, the country also has experienced significant inflows of refugees and economic and lifestyle migrants.

Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Documentary filmmakers Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini, the team behind the acclaimed How Democracy Works Now series that explores the battle over comprehensive immigration reform in the 2000s, discuss what it was like to experience Washington, DC and the policymaking process from an insider's perspective.
In 2001, filmmakers Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini embarked on a journey that took them across the country and into the offices of the U.S. Capitol, local town halls, high-level negotiations, election races, and activist rallies, all to tell one large and complex story: how the U.S. policy process — particularly in immigration reform — really works. Joyce Matthews, editor of the Migration Information Source, recently caught up with Michael and Shari for a candid conversation about their ambitious project and what they took away from their six years filming the U.S. immigration debate. Foreword by Demetrios G. Papademetriou, President of the Migration Policy Institute.
There were more than 46 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2010, the highest number in nearly three decades. MPI's Alicia Lee and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations.
Comprising only a small share of all immigrants in the United States, the foreign born from Taiwan seem to embody the very spirit of the Asian Tiger. As of 2010, Taiwanese immigrants exhibited extremely high levels of educational attainment; a notable tendency toward homeownership; and elevated rates of employment in management, business, information technology, and certain other professional, science, and engineering fields compared to the foreign-born population overall.
Rarely is migration among the Chinese from Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan to the countries of the Pacific Rim as cut and dry as the labels "immigrant," "emigrant," and "returnee" suggest. In fact, Chinese migrants from each of these areas of origin share a tendency for traversing between their homeland; country of work, study, or residence; and even a third country as the needs of the family dictate. This article examines these contemporary migration patterns using Chinese migrants in New Zealand as a case study.
Both of the leading presidential candidates said during the campaign that Mexico needed to create more and better jobs to stem migration - but their approaches to the problem differ. Susan Gzesh of the University of Chicago reports.
This summer's conflict between Israel and Hezbollah displaced Lebanese but also affected Lebanon's hundreds of thousands migrant workers and refugees. MPI's Kara Murphy reports on these groups and highlights the Lebanese diaspora's efforts to help.
Leighton Ku of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities explores the key issues and research concerning immigrants' access to private health insurance, public health insurance, and to health care in general.
Both first- and second-generation children's sense of obligation provides meaning in their lives as they attend school and adjust to American society. Andrew Fuligni of the University of California, Los Angeles explains.
In recent years, Arab Americans have regularly been featured in the press as a group "of interest" to many federal agencies. Randa A. Kayyali of George Mason University takes a detailed look at the Arab-American population, trends in permanent and temporary migration from Arab countries, and the effects of U.S. security policies on this group.

One other interesting thing. When Eugenio Endrizzi died in the mining accident, Elizabeth was in Italy with her 3 children, Rudy, Bill,and Clara. She wasn't welcomed with her in-laws so she returned to Butte. It must've been very difficult and expensive to travel with 3 children! Not sure of the dates but its good she came back or I wouldn't be here! Once again,thank you! Notify Administrator about this message?

Gear Review
not too shabby
I brought these with me on a week-long camping/climbing trip and ended up having to use them at night when the temp. dropped below freezing (I have a really cheap sleeping bag and am a VERY cold sleeper). They worked out great, are very cozy and soft and stretch well. The sizing is a tad bit larger than usual so I'd order a size smaller if you're between sizes. The material isn't bulky or thick either, kind of like throwing on 2 pairs of lightweights.

Hi -
I'm new to this forum but love gardening so will soon be an avid reader. I am interested in planting a tree (or having the city plant a tree!) in the strip of land between our sidewalk and street (about 5 feet wide). The city gives us a limited number of choices, which makes it easier in many regards. Our priorities:
We love the sycamores because they grow so amazingly fast but all of the sycamores in this area seem to get some sort of fungus and the leaves turn white and curl. Yuk. So we're leaning toward the following two trees: -- Chinese pistache
I've searched through the archives and see some mention of these trees but would love it if someone more knowledgeable than I weighed in. What would you choose? I've seen different things about the rate of growth of the pistache. Ideas?? Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
PS I should note that I'm in Redwood City, northern california, bay are. Thanks! |
I'd go for the pistache..beautiful Fall color and a more manageable tree. The Chinese Elm always needs a lot of selective pruning to keep it in shape...either a lot of work or a lot of money to pay to have it done. I would also buy the tree in the Fall so that you can select one with good coloring. |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Tue, Aug 9, 11 at 16:04
Hi Sarah, and welcome to Gardenweb. Too bad about the sycamores. Do you park your car on the street where this tree will be? That can be a consideration. Some trees are favorites of aphids, which poop sticky honeydew on your car. I don't know anything about the pistache, but I would avoid the elm. They get root suckers. They also get huge. If you don't have a big front yard, your whole yard will be shaded and filled with roots. Not much will grow. Since you are an avid gardener, that would not be nice! Renee |
Thanks for the input. Does anyone know about the relative growth rate for pistashe? Sounds like that might be the way to go... |
I would also stick with the Chinese pistache, as the least problematic choice. It is medium fast in growth rate compared to the sycamore or Chinese pistache, is much slower if it isn't irrigated. Chinese elms can also be quite elegant and beautiful trees, but they can also be ungainly without early and consistent pruning, and does often get too big for where it is planted. If you like the more evergreen and lacey foliage and attractive patchy bark of the elm, dedicate a yearly shaping the first 5 years to get a well formed tree. |
First you should check with your city public works department. Many cities have an approved list for planting in that location. If your tree damages the sidewalk you will usually be responsible for the sidewalk replacement. In my experience not only did I pay for the concrete work, the city charged me $95 for the permit to make the repair. Al |
I wouldn't put any tree in that narrow of an area. I walk at lunch near my office and sidewalks are uprooted really bad like 8-9 inches in some areas. The trees are some sort of maple I believe. Nice looking trees...just too big now. There are roots all over in the grass and starting to damage the street. It is so bad there is no way any handicapped person can even walk or use a wheelchair. This is in the city of LA and they have no funds to repair, replace, remove etc. Sure glad I don't live in the city! They also require the homeowner to get a permit and pay licensed contractor/tree trimmer if they want it trimmed since the city can't afford it. |
We have a Chinese Pistache in our 3' wide median that the city planted. It's been there about 15 yrs and is only ~15' tall so I would say it's a slow grower. Some of the pistache trees (females) on our street have tiny fruit; not messy, they stay on the trees and look rather decorative. Lovely fall color as others mentioned. Chinese Pistache trees can look ungainly in their youth but don't be discouraged; ours and the others on the street have a lovely shape now. |
I walk at lunch near my office and sidewalks are uprooted really bad like 8-9 inches in some areas. The trees are some sort of maple I believe. Sounds like Liquidambar. Lovely trees, but they wreck havoc on pavement and lawn. If you like Sycamore what about same genus, different species, perhaps London Plane. They don't get the same level of disease that the natives fall victim to (at least here they are clean). |
I agree with the people who suggested that you avoid the Chinese elm. There's one in my front yard that is gigantic. My husband and I have talked about removing it, but we're afraid to find out what it would cost, so we haven't even asked. We do have to get it pruned every couple of years, though--our tree guy says not to prune it too much because that would spur it on to put out even more unsightly shoots. As far as a pistache goes, I wanted to plant one, but our landscape designer said that it can also get huge. We planted several arbutus instead and they are beautiful all year round and need very little pruning and no summer water. Not sure how they'd do in a planting strip though. Checking with city public works sounds like a very good idea. |
Thanks for all the suggestions. I should have mentioned that the list of possible trees actually came from the public works department of our city! So I assume they know what they're talking about. We're leaning toward the pistache - even something slow growing would do a bit to shade the sun as it sets and burns a slow hole in our front door every night, assuming we place it in the right location! |
Pistache tree can actually be fairly fast to get size quickly if you irrigate frequently. They are fairly slow growing if you don't water at least weekly the first two years, after that a good slow soak once a month will help with more rapid growth. |
For more ideas, have you seen the gallery of urban trees put out by Friends of the Urban Forest in SF? Great list of trees for situations like yours. http://www.fuf.net/resources/gallery/ |
I would also look to my neighbors on the street. What is planted in the parkway. I love the look and feeling of driving down the street and all of the trees in the parkway are the same! Whether it be the summer or the fall, I just like it - it's a very good feeling! |

Is your intuition telling you that something isn't right with your child even though professionals have told you otherwise?
Are you a parent who has a child with mysterious symptoms and you're concerned they might manifest into ADHD or autism in the future?
Or are you a parent that has a child that has autoimmune disease, ADHD, developmental/speech delays, is constantly sick, has asthma, or has mild to moderate autism and YOU feel helpless, scared, and confused by all the information on the web?
Or do you feel like you aren't getting answers and aren't being heard by professionals?
If so then you're in the right place
Before I healed my daughters, I felt that I had tried everything else and was wary of "another person" telling me to try something new.
I felt like I was getting little bits and pieces of the puzzle, but not the big picture.
This was the turning point for my family, and when I started looking for the ROOT CAUSE of my daughters' mysterious symptoms.
But here's the thing… The SAME ROOT CAUSES can manifest in different ways in the body.
One kid may have mysterious symptoms (like my daughter) and another may have an autoimmune disease, autism or is always sick.
It's obvious that we need to help children who have been diagnosed with a specific health or developmental challenge.
But we also need to help kids whose parents know that something just isn't right, but they don't fit into a diagnosis. That's what I'm here to do.
If you are not satisfied with the answers that you have received regarding your child's health then you need to listen deeply and profoundly to your instincts as a parent.
If you feel that something isn't right with your child, then it's time to get help. Let's get started.
Please click here to read my story and how I healed my daughters.
If you're ready to get started, then let's start by scheduling a chat. Click here to schedule some time on my calendar.
Not sure yet, that's totally fine. Start with my free tips, insights and resources by signing up for my parent to parent newsletter.

Thanks, as mentioned above, the "next one" is currently being tested for the maker with a review to follow.
I really like Erics work, him and Nate and UBG are two of my top choices, the prices are fair and the lead time is quicker than most of the competition and if I have an issue they'll make it right. There's a ton of other makers I want to get holsters from, but I have a hard time straying from those two. If it isn't broke, don't fix it." As long as those two continue to have what I want and accomodate some of my quirks I have no reason to shop elsewhere.
I will say that eventually I want to try out some stuff from Tucker Gunleather for my wheel guns, but as that's more of a novelty right now it's going to have to wait.

Year In Review: The Great Cinematic Heroes of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Jack Giroux on December 27, 2011 | Comments (4)There were some supposed protagonists I loathed this year — everyone in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, that asshole narcissist Hal Jordan, the annoying Jack Sparrow — but there were plenty who showed honorable and, yes, badass traits. 2011 brought a few real American heroes (and from parts elsewhere), both in personality and actions. One doesn't need superpowers or a gun to be a hero, but, as shown by a few choices I made, those simple good traits. And, even if one's not the greatest of people, you can still be a great hero, as shown by the a*hole category that kicks off the list…
It's the last DVD release week of November, and judging by the stellar releases out today it's fair to say Christmas has come early. There are several titles, big and small, deserving of a purchase or at least a rent, and they're pretty widespread genre-wise too. Some of the week's offerings include Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Our Idiot Brother, Friends with Benefits, 30 Minutes or Less and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Another Earth The unfortunately named Rhoda (Brit Marling) is a bright high-school graduate with a limitless future, but on the night a new planet is discovered in the night sky above she celebrates a bit too hard and smashes her car into a family of three. A few years later, Rhoda is released from prison and makes an attempt at an apology to the man (William Mapother) she injured and whose wife and child she killed. Communication with the new planet has also revealed that it is a mirror image of our own as far as geography and population, but that different choices there may have given way to different events. Marling co-wrote this intriguing and often mesmerizing sc-fi/drama with director Mike Cahill, and while the logic and explanation behind the science fiction aspects are woefully lacking the drama, character work and "what if?" scenarios are excellent. As she does in the somewhat superior Sound of My Voice Marling brings an ethereal and fragile presence to […]
Box Office: 'Contagion' Gives No Cure For a Sick Box Office
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 12, 2011 | Comments (1)America had a fever…and the only cure…was more fever. Not cowbell this time. Steven Soderbergh's Contagion hit audience wallets hard this weekend bringing the director his biggest opening outside of films starring Julia Roberts. Maybe there is something to that American darling. Contagion was pretty well on par with analysis, knocked The Help off of its three-week pedestal, and ended up taking the #1 spot with a feverish vengeance. Okay, enough quips about sickness. Well maybe one or two more. As far as disaster movies go, the $60m star-studded film was pretty middle of the road, fitting in as far as opening weekends go between Poseidon's $22.1m and Knowing's $24.6m. Of course, looking at that reported budget, you can tell the film will be just fine in the long run. Most of the disaster films that have much bigger openings are Summer blockbusters, most of them involving some sort of alien being blowing up national monuments. But Soderbergh proved that even with a whimper you can create an effective end-of-the-world scenario and still rake in some decent cash.
Box Office: 'The Help' Isn't Afraid of Anything
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on August 28, 2011 | Comments (1)They came. They stood. They weren't afraid of a thing. And when the dust settled, they swept that up with the rest of the competition. Here in its third weekend out, The Help continues to pull in new as well as repeat audiences, and is very close to breaking the $100m barrier. Subsequent from its opening weekend, its percentage drops have been quite impressive: 23.1% down last weekend from the weekend before and 28.4% down this weekend from last. Though future weekends might see films open big enough to knock the period drama out of the top spot, its percentage downsizing doesn't seem likely to grow, and The Help will end up being quite the success story come year end. And that's even before the expected Oscar nominations for it are announced. Colombiana and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark's numbers were somewhat flip-flopped from what I anticipated. Colombiana was the only other film besides The Help to pull in double digits this weekend, but just barely. It didn't perform too terribly worse than Olivier Megaton's previous film's opening weekend. Transporter 3 debuted with $12m, and ended up topping $100m worldwide. With Luc Besson's name attached to Colombiana as well, you can expect foreign numbers to be much more favorable than domestic.
Don't Be Afraid of The Reject Report
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on August 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentOr the dark. There's actually probably more to be afraid of in the dark than in this week's Reject Report. Unless, of course, you have a phobia of numbers. Arithmophobia. It's a real thing. Thanks, Google. But back to this week's offerings. We've got a horror movie, a female assassin actioner, and a Sundance comedy starring Paul Rudd. Needless to say, it's not a matter of if The Help will lead the pack for the third weekend in a row. It's a matter of by how much. It could be a close race, and when all is said and done it doesn't look like the weekend numbers will be anything to be thrilled about. In fact, you can sweep them under the rug. With the dust. Because you're frightened of that, too. Koniophobia. Thanks again, Google!

If you want to see the Jonas Brothers perform in your hometown, they're putting the power in your hands! In a video they posted Friday (August 30), the three JoBros told viewers that they'd decide their October and November concert tour stops based on fan feedback.
Getting their kicks in for a good cause, the Jonas Brothers hosted a charity soccer match on Saturday (August 17) in Los Angeles.
Snagging an acting gig that doesn't involve singing or his famous brothers, Nick Jonas will guest star on an upcoming episode of "Hawaii Five-0."
The youngest JoBro will play a computer hacker who interferes with a case that Steve and Danno are investigating.
Rounding out the weekend with a fun-filled affair, the Jonas Brothers headed over to the 2013 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles this evening (August 11).
Dressed to impress in some designer duds, Kevin, Nick and Joe showed some love to their fans outside the Gibson Amphitheatre before strolling inside to catch all the celebrity-charged action.
Proud of all his hard work in the gym, Nick Jonas shared a shirtless selfie via Twitter on Tuesday (July 30).
Showing off a chiseled chest, the youngest JoBro tweeted, "I never do this but… Healthy living and fitness update. Post workout picture. #diabeticinshape #2.0."
Their brother Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle are preparing for the arrival of their first child, and now Joe and Nick are sounding off about becoming uncles.
Eager to share new music with their fans, the Jonas Brothers were set to kick off their tour in Darien Center, New York on Friday night (July 19), but Mother Nature had other plans.
Apologizing to ticketholders, Joe Jonas tweeted on Friday, "Very sad we cannot perform tonight's show. We love you all. This weather is crazy. Stay safe. We will be back."

New Friends polybag
Posted by Huw,A new Friends polybag has been found in TRU in the USA, for a whopping $5 for 5 pieces (4 for the minidoll and a 2x2 brick!). Definitely one for completests only (Atkinsar... :) )
(Picture from Toys N Bricks)
30 comments on this article
Yes, thanks Huw! I already have 2 procured on my behalf :-)
By weight that must be the most expensive thing ever in the history of man. Soon we'll be trading raw diamonds for 2x2s
Most expensive actual Lego set ever?
So do you pay $5 to get JUST Stephanie, or pay $5 and get set 3930 which includes Stephanie as well as 45 pieces?
Actually, 3930 is $5.99, so you best be prepared to spend an extra dollar to get those 40 extra peices. =0)
Then again, a $5.99 set at most TRU is actually $6.99 (especially when they mark up new sets in the first few months), so I say avoid TRU altogether and you won't get ripped off.
Who's idea at Lego or TRU was to actually charge for this bag?! Given it's only a 5pcs figure, why not use it to give away as a promotion for friends? WOW!! $1 a piece.
This should be illegal.
That's insane. Really, LEGO made a Polybag set that is worse than the Impulse Space Police Speeder or Atlantis Manta Warrior sets? Good God. What's this 2x2 stud even look like? Is it like a unique printing or something?
I find paying USD$1000 for the Cloud City set on eBay more worth it than this. Not like I have, though....
I might have to buy this too... (Curse you Lego Friends!)
The 2x2 is made out of solid gold.
Thank God I am not a completest...
This is not the way to win Lego Friends fans. Fail TLG, Fail.
Chance this will sell well: 2/100.
Notice it's TRU with the price mark up.
I don't like the Friends theme much, but this is even more ridiculous than a Duplo Set (though those are big pieces). Toys 'R' Us is what should be known to toy collectors as the ultimate ripoff, unless you buy an exclusive set, of course. But even then, I find it cheaper to get it off Lego.com, like the Y-Wing. Epic. Fail.
I'd guess this "will" be a free pack for some upcoming sale. I've noticed since the Christmas shopping season started TRU jacked-up their prices on small stuff HARD. I've bought stuff with the old, lower price sticker covered over. I'd guess the Lego business probably outsells all the other toys right now. The days of TRU being a toy "superstore" are long over.
Don't feel bad about Lego.... Collectible Card Games like Magic are marked up a whole $1 per pack above MSRP as well. I've been in that market a lot longer and "MSRP" is well over $1 retail markup and it's not hard to find a $3.99 pack for $2.85...
TRU has definitely lost whatever edge they had in the 80's and 90's when they were THE place to get the cool toys and video games cheaper than anybody else.
TRU has the best selection but has the WORST prices. (I don't care about this whole new Friends theme) I agree though I would rather pay a grand for the Cloud City set instead of this.
I guess they forgot to remove the piece count from polybags like they have been from other sets to hide the ever increasing price to piece ratio.
$5 for 5 pieces?
Seriously, Lego, are you just going to start mugging people next? Yikes.
$5 for 5 parts sounds a lot like Duplo pricing. I hate LEGO Friends even more now.
Hold on everyone! Your missing TLG's marketing logic. It could be argued the apparent target group of the "Friends" series is a batch of this generation Buffy's. Doesn't it make sense that girls too... shall we say "challenged" for regular Lego's would not be exactly sharp at math either? Has everyone forgotten when talking Barbie professed "Math Class is Tough"?
(Yes, I am serious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO0cvqT1tAE)
Ha. Ha.
gotta remember this is TRU pricing we are talking.
My TRU told me this set was supposed to be saved to be given away at the Lego Friends Lemonade stand building event to be help Feb 4th.
^^ That sounds likely and it's probably on sale beforehand so TRU can say 'a $4.99 value' when doing so.
This set, 5000245, is currently a free promo along with your choice of 1 of the 5 $11.99 sets, when you purchase $75 worth of Friends Lego @ my local TRU in AZ! I also found the 30105 Friends Valentine Set at Target today too, for $3.99!
I also picked up polybag set 30105 at Target, and it looks to be the same Stephanie as the Toys R Us bag. I think the Toys R Us set includes a 2x2 light Blue Brick. The Target set has 41 pieces for $1.00 less.
Anyone noticed how she looks? She's CROSSING HER ARMS! So you cannot use that a fig a lot, since you can't make her hold anything in her hands. Does the actual fig look like on the pic on the polybag?
As predicted… from TRU website:
FREE Exclusive LEGO Friends Stephanie Mini Doll with ANY total LEGO Friends construction set purchase of $20 or more! Free item will automatically add to cart. Hurry....offer ends February 4th, 2012!
HOW IT WORKS It's easy… just follow these simple steps!
·Must buy products worth $20 or more to qualify for offer.
·Maximum 1 discount (1 free item) per order.
·While quantities last.

I thinking about remodeling my bedroom bathroom which has a fixed showhead and a two handle water valve setup. I want to convert it into a slidebar mounted handshower set with a wall elbow for handshower and a single handle water control valve.
I been looking for the hardware and was wonder if it would be costly to convert the fixed shower arm into an wall elbow or is that very simple to do; since the plumber will have to redo the pipes from dual to single valve. Not sure about the costs. Secondly, there seems to be no package for having the shower slidebar mounted handshower and the trim package and valve unless you go to the high end products which includes everything. Does Kohler or American Standard have anything less then $1K? I looking for the lowest cost in chrome and is contemporary! Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I like the Moen slide bar that I had installed (model 3867). You can get the valve separately or as a complete set. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Moen Showers

I decided to go with a contemporary Kohler Hotel handshower with slide arm mount and a Purist Trim Kit and Rought In Valve! Total price is around $600. |

Hi everyone,
My chickencoop is just about done. We still need to build the roosts and nesting boxes.
Follow-Up Postings:
I have lots of Aspens around my place so I cut down some of the smaller ones Approx 2-3" and made my roosts. Nailed them to some 2x4s. Square roosts aren't good for birds anyways. |
- Posted by backlanelady 6oh (My Page) on Tue, Sep 16, 08 at 22:59
Old wooden ladders make good roosts. You can put them at an angle and the birds won't poop on each other. Or put them across. I dumpster dive at a fleamarket...to my husbands horror...and get the thin wood crates that corn and vegetables come in. The hens like them as nesting boxes and I use them for quite a few things. Dry fall leaves for litter inside of the chicken coop and then we use it as compost. I reuse old feed bags for garbage. This is a bumper apple year in Ohio and so many people are happy to have them cleaned up from their yards. I store the apples in the crates I dumpster dived for and give them to my pigs, goats and horses. The chickens like them too. A local bread outlet sells "animal bread" for $8 per 100 loaves. They don't advertise it, you have to ask the manager. It is usually their speciality breads like honey, whole wheat, rye. And I give it to the farm animals for treats. I get buckets from grocery store bakeries. They get frosting and puddings in them and then sell the washed empties for under a dollar. That's a few of the things I do around here. |
I have old apple boxes for nesting boxes, they work great. the coop part is up a ways and I used the top of an old broken picnic bench for the ramp |
Chicken manure is some of the hottest you can put in your compost bins. Be sure to add enough other ingredients when you compost your chicken droppings to take full advantage of the high nitrogen level. We have 8 compost bins and when I clean out the hen house, all of them will get used. Our compost bins are made out of old wood pallets that we pick up here and there. We usually keep a few extras on hand in case one or more becomes so composted itself that we have to replace it. Stand four of them on their sides to form a box, leaving one side open. It's not real pretty, but it really works well. We constructed paths in the vegetable garden using old asphalt roofing shingles. They stop the grass from growing and after a few hot days they kind of fuse together to form a solid walkway. When I have "volunteers" come up in flower beds I take them up and use cut-down milk jugs to pot them up. Then I give them friends and neighbors or take them to the swap meets. Cheryl |

Thanks for sharing your creativeness. Hey......I happen to have a couple of those really old ladders.. I'll be using them as my roosts. (thanks Backlanelady) It really makes me feel good when I'm able to make something I need, verses paying a lot of money for something. From the searchs I've been doing and reading on this forum I'm learning a lot. Thanks!!!! |
- Posted by runningtrails 5 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 25, 08 at 5:18
I use cardboard, brown heavy corrugated, for walkways in the garden. I live a few blocks from an industiral area and go there early on their garbage day. I pick up large bundles of cut boxes to use for this. I also get old moldy hay from farmers for nothing and use that in the garden and for landscaping. It goes over cardboard for landscaping where I don't want grass to grow. I'm using them to make lasagna beds this fall too. |
- Posted by msmitoagain z8 ms (My Page) on Thu, Sep 25, 08 at 12:13
okay, I'm gonna have to ask what is a "lasagna bed"??? |
Hi, Is cardboard safe to use-it use to contain may very toxic chemicals-some PCBs (same stuff that was in agent orange in Vietnam)? Newspaper is good with b/w ink-not colored. I too want to know "lasagna bed" what are they? |

I pulled the trigger on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. $849 unlocked. I wanted a option for LTE if I needed it. Thought the Snapdragon 800 might offer better performance/seems that is a unknown... Also heard faster charging. I saw a comment in another thread the Verizon locks boot loaders. Does anyone know if I will be able to root this device? How can i determine if the bootloader is locked?
I pulled the trigger on the 12.2 too, deciding on keeping it. Also ended up getting a 10.1 2014 for the SO....but mine is 12.2.But Verizon is just icky, lol, then the locked bootloaders, lack of support, then throw in lack of support from the devs due to very few devices etc...
I hope this can be rooted.
Is it 100% positive that verizon p905v cant be rooted? The recharging time and smoothness as well as battery life has made me an extremely happy camper for the LTE model. Somebody said chain fire was on holiday for month or so. I'm wondering what we can do to have information for him or anyone else to try and root.

About This Project
This was the first attempt at building furniture for my husband and me...and we're thrilled with how it turned out! We had a table from Crate and Barrel that was not holding up at all (I convinced them to take it back after 1 year) and wanted to try to build our own. We used Ana's Farmhouse Dining Table original plan, and only shortened it to 64", but followed the rest exactly. We looked into getting oak or a more expensive wood for the table, but save your money and get the pine! After the polyurethane, it's harder and more durable than our C&B table!
Required Skill Level:
Estimated Time Investment:
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used:
After building the table, I sanded it really well. I then applied wood conditioner, and Minwax "Sunbleached" oil-based stain for a greyish finish. The top of the table has one coat, the rest two (I liked how one coat allows the wood color to show through with the grain, among the grey of the stain). I sanded after the staining, then did two coats of satin polyurethane (sanding in between coats). I'm so happy with the color!
Estimated Cost:

Beautiful Job!
Nice job and I love the finish! I will keep that stain in mind for one of my next projects...

Am I Old Enough? (Love Your Children by Saying "NO")
We cannot save our children from all of the dangers any more than our parents could save us. We can be proactive though, and we can assert our parental authority and say, "NO," even if that isn't the most popular response. Parents cannot be parents and be their kid's buddy. Be your spouse's buddy, be your kid's mom and dad.

Carried Over the In-Laws' Threshold
The economy is forcing many of those who left to return, and it is awkward when a grown son or daughter moves back in with mom and dad. Many times, they don't come home alone; they have a "friend" or spouse. Having teenagers living with parents is wild enough, but having grown children with their spouses, friends or children living with parents can be chaotic. This article helps provide guidance for the in-law couple who move back with "mom and dad".

Emotional Abuse; A Reason to Leave
No one deserves to be treated with disdain or humiliated. When this treatment comes at the hands of someone who says they "love you," it is, not only sick, it is emotionally devastating. You must get out; your staying will actually enable the abuser to get worse. Sometimes the most poignant way to show love is to leave. This article offers helpful ways to break the cycle and save yourself.

Opposites Attract Until You Marry Them
The single most important thing to be attracted to in a long-term relationship is the person's values. Looks will fade (or will be enhanced in a scary way), money will be split 50/50, kids will grow up, and careers will continue to evolve. Values are deeper, and as long as you keep communicating about your relationship, and you both continue to put your relationship first, you will most likely continue being attracted to one another. This article offers tips on what's most important for attracting a stable healthy relationship.

Married Sex; the Couple Determines the Snore Factor
It would be short-sighted for couples to get married and talk about "till death do us part" if they didn't consider what they were going to do to keep their sex life interesting.

Attachment to the "Right Way" May Be the "Wrong Way" for Your Relationship

It's about learning, evolving, and being completely vulnerable to another. Being willing to leave a marriage because you didn't get your way sounds immature and child like, but it happens all the time. Rather than fight about the right way, practice detaching, talking and understanding the feelings underneath.This article offers help!

Hey gas buddy, let me give you A BIG CONGRATS on your 201 Cons. Days!! Keep up the good work. David...........QQ
Thanks! It works, one day at a time! : ) Consecutive Days are fleeting for most GasBuddies, and most GBs will never make it to 1,000 consecutive days! Today though, more than ever, GBs are actively engaged with smart phones and tablets, which makes it much easier for GBs not to lose their consecutive days than ever before! But, some GBs have very important family matters to attend to, or have to travel, or go on a vacation without GasBuddy, and some GBs it's, "oops, I just forgot!" No big deal, many GBs do start over every day! All we can do is just keep plugging away! Thanks for your dedication for 4+ years here on GasBuddy! That's what matters is your continued presence here! Have a nice week! Ron
Happy Birthday, buddy!!

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins, | 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, |
2 in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, | 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. |
3 among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others, | 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. |
4 and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us, | 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, |
5 even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,) | 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. |
6 and did raise [us] up together, and did seat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus, | 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, |

Shell Scripts Answering Prompts

I would suggest you to find a book shell programming. It originates from 1991 and it is the best I have ever seen.
Or you can learn perl or C to easily write your own scripts.If you are absolute beginner in programming, you would need 2-3 months of 2hrs of every-day practising to get familiar with C.
Not much, right?

Why does she think you're cheating? I would talk to her - try for a time when she's not too busy or distracted, and when it's just you two around. Find out why she thinks you're cheating - there might be something she's seeing about your actions that she's misconstruing. As for getting her to stop believing it - well, you can't MAKE anyone stop (or start) believing anything. By all means, talk to her, but don't be surprised if you don't change her opinion. (I'm going to assume that you're not actually cheating. If you are....then I can't really help you, either.)

there is clearly a reason that your mom believes this. have you done something to make her feel like this, or has she seen you do something you shouldn't have? talk to her about it. and like the previous poster stated, if in fact, you are cheating, then no one can help you.

Call Laurie for all the details on our favorite things to do and must see places to visit on the island. We have been coming to Cozumel for over 10 years and have concluded there is no better place to own a vacation home..The weather, water and surroundings are beautiful. Everyone is so friendly and it is just the most relaxing place to Chill Out!
My husband and I are hard working folks from CT, who love to travel and enjoy life. When we get time to escape, we often use VRBO and Home Away to plan many of our vacations to avoid the tourist "crunch" and discover some of the best homes, condos, and villas an area has to offer. We've been lucky enough to visit many Caribbean islands, Hawaii, and Europe but time after time, we return to Mexico, specifically Cozumel. It has been our long time dream to purchase a home to retire to, where the sun is always shining, the water is always warm, and the people are always friendly.
Laurie Meyers purchased this condo in 2010
Having visited the eastern Mexican coast many times over the last 15 years, we always gravitate to Cozumel for the superb diving and snorkeling, the ease of island life, the excellent variety of dining spots and shopping, and the friendly people, all of which create the perfect balance of adventure and solitude. Isn't that why we take vacations? We've stayed at some of the best all-inclusives on the island, and usually enjoyed them, except that you share your precious vacation time with so many other people. We prefer vacationing with our chosen guests and setting our own times for sleeping, meals, and excursions, not those of a hotel.
As soon as we were able, we set out investigating where we would like to purchase a second home to eventually retire to. After much thought, and a lot of looking, we chose Cozumel. We have always been drawn to the beauty of the island, and the residents who hold strong family values and integrity, while extending friendship to us outsiders. If you dive or snorkel, you cannot find a better place to do it, unless you travel to Australia! And if you don't, there is still a wide variety of things to do for any age. This place leaves a lasting impression on you once you visit.
Cozumel Island, Quintana Roo, Yucantan, Mayan Rivera, Mexico. Located South of town next to Playa Mia, the famous Paradise Restaurant and on the spectacular San Fransisco Beach in the national reef park.
Other Activities: There are many beach restaurants close by, and a national park close with dolphins, seals and other animals.

Nice language, CrazyPixie "Lady".
OMG her arms...she's sooo thin :S
Boring, ill-fitting, and her arms make me want to eat a sandwich, but yeah, other than that she looks great.
boring in black
people need to stop hating on her. when a celeb gets fat they call her names, when she loses weight they call her name..jeez appreciate her talent and not her damn body. people man, make me sick.
She looked awful! Ass kissers put her on best dressed over and over
i ADORE Angelina, but this dress is not pretty at all
Too skinny, boring dress....come on.
i hate her dress
I don't get the whole Angelina thing, I find her scary
wow she is sooooo thin
This dress looked boring and dull. And she looks way too thin. Just because she is Angelena Jolie does not mean she always has to be considered best dressed.
Oh Maaa Gaaad @@ her arm is soooo fucking scary !!!!! EAT FUCKING SOMTHING T_T

I posted the following over on the Clematis forum, and repeating my question here: My project here is to cover the deer fence that surrounds my property with assorted clematis vines. So I need hundreds of the things. I'm using pretty much the standard, recommended method for propagating clematis: one leaf, inter-nodal cutting 3-4 inches below the node, use Clonex rooting hormone, plant them in perlite, and use a covering dome. So I can get some 80+% of my cuttings to root - often spectacularly. The problem: What do I do to help these rooted cuttings shoot off new, top growth? Out of the first, 50-odd successfully rooted cuttings, only about half shot up new top growth. The other half just sit there with one leaf, growing longer and longer roots, week after week, and then pft... What to do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by mccommas z5CT (email@example.com) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 21:07
I tried that with Kalanchoe but I didn't use perlite or rooting stuff. I did it to two leaves in just soil in the window and over the winter they seem to get roots but the leaves themselves just got old and crappy looking. I threw one of them out. Then the other week I discovered the remaining one had a stalk growing out of it! I got myself a nice new plant for free. It worked, it really did, but it took forever. So on that admittedly limited experiment of mine, you might have to wait months for real growth. I wonder if you could cut up the vines of a parent plant and root them in water? I bought one this year and I thought of trying that. |

The other half just sit there with one leaf, growing longer and longer roots, week after week, and then pft... ==>> grow the roots.. and the plant will follow.. when it has a sufficient root mass ... i dont know what more you want??? do you want to know what chemical will change that???? as to pft??? .. do you mean they die??? ..... or just arent growing in your preconceived notion of performance??? ken |
Ken, they die. So I end up with a dead plant consisting of one leaf and a 5 inch diameter bundle of roots. Not so much a chemical thing, but would it help if, say, I put them in direct sunlight? Maybe re-pot the plant, move the root mass higher or lower? |
I have successfully rooted clems in water (accidentally broke off a segment while weeding around it). But it took forever for even a little bit of roots to form. Then potted up and it took forever, again, for top growth to begin. Now in their third year, they are really taking off. Just like some people -- slow to mature. |
So I take a cutting leaving a single node, root the stem. I see that some people recommend burying the node, some say leave it at the surface, and others say it doesn't matter, even if its an inch in the air. Any one have any experience with that? |
This post was edited by david52 on Tue, Apr 30, 13 at 14:34
Ok, here's what they look like. I'll repot these up in a gallon container, leaving the leaves and node an inch or so above the surface. So, out of 50-odd rooted cuttings like this, roughly half shoot runners, the other half just sits there, the root mass gets 3 -4 times that, and then the plant just dies. |

I've never rooted clematis, but I was wondering if it could be that they need a shot of fertilizer? Maybe since it has long roots, now it needs something that will promote leaves? I think nitrogen right? Maybe even just some miracle grow? Could be that the new roots can't absorb nutrients too quickly and a foliar spray of miracle grow would do the trick? Just a suggestion. |
I used Clonex rooting compound, which, according to them, ....has a full spectrum of mineral nutrients and trace elements to nourish the young roots during their important formative stage.... " And from use with other plants, there's enough nutrients present that they'll grow noticeably in a sterile medium - in fact thats a sign that they've well rooted. I did try some miracle grow on a few to see if that would help. Didn't spray the foliage, just watered the vines with the proper dilution, but they just rotted within a few days. I received some very helpful correspondence from a Gardenweb member/reader (who I assume wishes to remain anonymous) who pointed out that cuttings from clematis taken at flowering nodes will root but won't shoot new growth, while cuttings with nodes further down vine that won't flower will be successful. I think that may be the issue. |

Good Luck! How hard are they to start from seed I wonder? Would the flowers from such be inferior? |
Seeds take something like 6 months to germinate. I've tried to do it intentionally, but that has never worked. I do have 4 or 5 vines from seed that have popped up out in the flower beds in front of my trellised vines - some, from Jackmanni, seem to come true, but I'm not convinced they flower at the rate of the originals and if the plants are as vigorous. One feral clematis, from a double-blossom blue one (name escapes me) came up as a single, larger darker blue flower. I'm letting them go for now, figuring what the heck..... |

Like most dancers, Hot Jam performers are generally just happy to be employed. Muñoz, like all Hot Jam dancers I spoke with, maintains a loyalty to her boss that includes an assumption she is paid fairly. "Of course we'd like to get paid more, but Pamela pays us what she can, I'm sure," Muñoz reasons.
Canellas says she takes a minimal share of what her dancers make. Percentages vary according to the job. "I charge based on costume changes," Canellas says. "If Level wants three costume changes, then I charge a percentage cut of that. But the girls always get $100 per night. If we have rehearsals, then I pay them a little more, like 50 bucks or something. If there is some money left over, I try to give it to them. My girls are my family and I try to take care of them."
Of the approximately $270,000 Hot Jam grossed last year, Canellas says she took home only about $20,000.
"It's hard enough trying to get booked by someone as a performer without wondering about the specifics of that," says Eric Davis, one of a small group of male dancers Canellas employs. "We are a family, and I believe we love each other as a family."
Although Davis sounds a bit sugar-coated when he says "family," he's hit on a basic principle of Hot Jam: security. Just as ravers created their own safe space, so do club dancers. They literally dance in a space protected from the crowd. Unlike strippers they don't have to engage anyone for money. And with rare exceptions, they are never supposed to touch or be touched. Figuratively speaking, they've gained some kind of special acceptance in an often-finicky, snotty subculture. They get inside clubs through the back door, never mind that velvet rope. And that to many is a privilege.
Thomas Frank's opus on the Sixties counterculture, The Conquest of Cool, reasons that "consumer society" relies upon "unrestraint," which he defines as freedom in spending time and money to achieve and take pleasure without shame. So when someone raises an eyebrow after I say "club dancing," I don't invoke the tired argument that we're turning a sexist society on its head by getting paid to bump and grind on a pedestal. It's as simple -- and unrealistic -- as the grunge-era feminist ideology proposed by the riot grrrls. Whether they're strippers or scientists, women should support women no matter how they make a living.
The night I danced at Level, I walked back to my car, about five blocks from the club, at 4:30 a.m. Anyone who's ever been on South Beach at that hour on a weekend night understands the false sense of safety. I wasn't thinking about anything; I was tired and just wanted to go home. It was spring-break time and the night air was unusually breezy. To curb the chill I felt from my sweat-soaked neck, I wore a sweatshirt that covered my shorts. I was still wearing layers of makeup and tan fishnets.
As I rounded a corner, two frat boys leaned out of their pickup truck. They shouted to me something like "Wooh ... ass ... yeah ... fuck!" They did the same thing to another woman who was also walking to her car. On my last block, a guy on a bicycle leered at me and slobbered a Spanish catcall. I flinched and found my keys.
I started the ignition and drove, feeling safe inside my car. Once I got to the MacArthur Causeway I rolled down the window to breathe in the last few hours of darkness and let the wind cool me.
