Another day, another delicata question. I'm growing them for the first time, but I grew candy roasters last year. I've got several vines in varying states of maturity, so the bigger older vines have fruit that appears ripe now (hard, pale yellow with thin green stripes). The candy roasters were different in that they were so big that I was harvesting them all quite late in the season without this confusion.
Should I leave them on the vine as long as possible, and if so, how long? Or, should I cut the ripe ones now and cure as normal? Thanks in advance for any input. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I pick when things are ripe, I have a few pumpkins that are a week or two away from being picked. Nothing wrong with picking now, doing so will actually encourage the plants to produce more. You can wait if you want, but the longer the ripe squash is on the vine, the greater the chance of it rotting before you pick it. |
Thanks--delicata on the menu soon! |
Are you sure they are ripe? Looking ripe doesn't mean ripe. I have some that look ripe but I know darn well they are not, and won't be for quite some time yet. But your climate is likely much warmer than mine. If they are satisfactory to eat now, go ahead and harvest what you want to eat now. The rest I would leave on the vine as long as possible. Despite being a so-called "fall squash" I find Delicatas to store quite well in my unheated, attached garage. Leaving them on the vine as long as possible will delay the time at which they begin to degrade and will allow them to develop the fullest storage potential. |
Actually, although they could not be nicked with a fingernail, when I cooked them they tasted fine but could have been sweeter/firmer, so I am not going to pick any more until the stems really start drying out. |

WALLA WALLA - It was a good Thursday night for Wa-Hi's boys swim team, which managed to scrape together two team and several individual victories despite a spate of illness.
The Blue Devils topped Pendleton 83-67 and La Grande 91-55 at the dual meet at Whitman's Paul Harvey Pool. La Grande's girls also defeated Pendleton's girls; in Oregon, both genders swim at the same time.
The nonleague meet keeps the Blue Devils boys at 0-1 in Big Nine swimming.
"I'm pleased (with the results) because we're the walking wounded at the moment," said Wa-Hi coach Brad Daly. "We've had a lot of illness which has effected our ability to practice and prepare and swim, so I'm energized. They swam pretty well considering the health of the team."
Wa-Hi swimmers or teams placed first in five of 13 events and took second in five events.
"We're consistently getting better and I'm anticipating what we will do when we're healthy," Daly said. "The Christmas break will give us a good chance for recovery."
And the swimmers were pleased with their times.
"It seemed like we were all doing pretty well," said junior swimmer Jonathon Klem. "From this time last year, we're considerably better at this same meet."
Klem took first in the 200 yard IM in 2:07.54, well ahead of the tight second-place finish for La Grande's Travis Smith over Pendleton's Brandon Groshens. Smith swam in 2:20.02 and Goshens took third in 2:20.03.
Klem placed second in the 100 butterfly in 57.54 and was on the first-place 200 medley relay team, which swam in 1:56.67. He was also on the second-place 400 freestyle relay team, which took a time of 3:54.41 to Pendleton's 3:46.54.
Klem and senior captain Austin Garrett are both hoping to qualify for the state meet, and they say steadily improving times across the board will help them get there.
"We had all best times tonight," Garrett said.
Shaving off time will help them move forward, Klem said.
"We're both looking at state and we need to shave off a couple seconds," he said.
Garrett also swam on the 100 medley team. He took first in the 50 freestyle in 24.57 and first in the 100 freestyle in 52.76. He was on the second-place 200 freestyle relay, which clocked in at 1:42.94, behind Pendleton's 1:38.77.
Patrick Giedeman swam to third for the Blue Devils in the 200 freestyle in 2:01.25, Wiley Townsend took second in heat one of the 50 freestyle in 31.42.
Matt Wilwand finished fourth in the second 50 freestyle heat in 28.99.
In the 100 freestyle, Zach Staudenmaier finished first in heat one, in 1:00.8. Max Troin finished second in heat two in 59.31.
Josh Bumgarner took another Blue Devils win in the 500 freestyle, leading the field the entire way to a 6:13.63 finish.
Giedeman and Troin finished four-five in the 100 backstroke, in 1:05.79 and 1:12.73, respectively.
In the 100 backstroke, Staudenmaier, Bumgarner and Wilwand finished third (1:14.26), fourth (1:15.23) and fifth (1:22.79).
"I think that considering the health of the team and the coach, we're doing pretty well," Daly said of the meet.
The swimmers' next dip in the water is Jan. 4 in a Big Nine meet when Richland and Hanford come to town.
"There will be some good matchups there," Daly said. "There will be some really good races."
Garrett and the rest of the team are looking forward to it.
"My favorite quote is, 'Failing to prepare is preparing for failure,'" Garrett said. "We're going to keep working at it and practicing and getting better."

3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2012
>> Resort collections are usually synonymous with escapist inspirations, but Phillip Lim is going "against nature" for his Resort 2012 collection, sticking with what he knows best — an urban environment. "The idea of going away is essentially artificial for me. These skyscrapers are my trees," he explained, indicating his Manhattan surroundings. "At the end of the day, wherever these clothes go, they have to come back here." Hence the collection's utilitarian elements, found on drawstring-waisted pants and slouchy jackets. Lim is also launching his first accessories collection for Resort this season, including patent leather satchels and latex, open-toed platform booties.

Many of the fruiting vegetables require full sun (atleast 6 hours of direct sunlight as they define it). However, I was just wondering if the intensity of the sunlight also has any effect on reducing this requirement? In a desert climate of Saudi Arabia - even in October - the sunlight is so intense that the leaves burn if not shaded. I have time and again read that vegetables plants prefer / appreciate shading in desert climates but then this raises the question as to how the sunlight quantity requirements (of atleast 6 hours) gets fulfilled to produce a comparable output with that of more moderate USDA zones (6-7-8)? Whether this 6 hours requirement is for places where the intensity is moderate or is is applicable to vegetables grown in any climate zone? Can plants growing in desert climate work as good with 4 (or lesser) hours of direct sunlight compared to 6-8 hours of sunlight in more moderate climates? Can the intensity of the sun compensate for the reduced number of hours of direct sunlight? Is there any sort of scientific explanation for this phenomenon? Cheers, Saood |
Follow-Up Postings:
Great question. Hopefully someone can answer. I have always wondered this. I also want to ask if you think Phoenix or Saudi Arabia us hotter? I think there cannot be any place hotter than here. I wonder why people would want to move here, except for the gardening. |
I think Al Khobar, the city that I live is hotter than Phoenix. Average temperatures over here are 5-10F higher than in Phoenix. Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi is more extreme - with both hotter summer and colder winters than Al Khobar. So on that front I win (or lose - depends on which side you want to be) :-) I posted this question on a few other forums of GW and while all the replies that I got were just opinions, one link someone forwarded me was a bit closer to being scientific. It does say and I will quote "Subject to physiological limits, an increase in the intensity of light will result to an increase in the rate of photosynthesis and will likewise reduce the number of hours that the plant must receive every day (Manaker 1981)" Below is the link. I am still however, waiting for a more clearer answer, if possible. |
Here is a link that might be useful: What is Light Intensity, Effects on Plant Growth
that question of intensity affecting required daylight hrs of sunlight is interesting. I seem to remember learning about this effect during one of my college classes, but I don't remember the details. Seems that in our area, we worry more about how to reduce the intensity of the sunlight (shade cloths, lath houses, etc.) rather than worry if we are getting enough sun exposure. I've noticed in more humid areas (like coastal Calif), the atmosphere humidity tends to "soften" the intensity of the sun, making it much more pleasant than the laser beam sunlight we get here in the desert. |

From personal experience, and from my classes at the Desert Botanic Gardens ... even when a plant is rated for "full sun" it often needs shade in a Phoenix summer. I plant my chilis and eggplants for morning sun and afternoon shade. They get 4-6 hours of direct sun in the mornings. You are 26°17′N and Phoenix is 33°27′N (so we're not wildly different in sun angle) Where we differ is in the humidity, with Al Khobar being seacoast and really humid. We are more likely to have frosts and killing low temperatures, your climate just cooks the plants. :) There is probably an atmospheric physics formula that can calculate the difference between light intensity at different latitudes, but I have no idea where to look. A website you might like is desert-tropicals.com because they report on what really grows in Phoenix. If you are gardening, sunset.com might have helpful planting schedules (you are in Zone 13 for their purposes), and the Maricopa County Master Gardeners planting schedules might be useful. http://cals.arizona.edu/maricopa/garden/html/general/hort.htm |

Plants need light to engage photosynthesis. Extremely intense sunlight, in and of itself, does not harm these plants. It is the heat associated with intense sunlight that harms them. With that in mind, I would not curtail the duration of sunlight, but strive to limit the intensity. |
What are you growing there in Saudi Arabia? What's the water situation there. We have little rain here but plenty of water gets wasted with people growing grass. |
Thanks you all for your input. At the moment, I am growing cucumbers, Armenian cucumbers, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes seem delicate and are finding it difficult in the extreme heat. I think they need extra protection. Also same is the case with hot peppers. I am growing on a small scale in containers as this is my first experience with any kind of gardening. Water therefore is not a major issue. We have plenty of tap water :) |
- Posted by lazygardens PhxAZ%3A Sunset 13 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 24, 13 at 13:59
Tomatoes shut down fruit ripening when it gets too hot ... you might have betterluck with them in your "winter". There are a few exceptions - selections made to grow along the west coast of Mexico can handle hotter weather than Armenian cucumbers seem to love the hot weather, English style cucumbers prefer cooler weather. You might also have luck with cultivars from Israel, Egypt and India. I have seeds a Indian expat brought back with him and they thrived most of the summer. |

The Mustangs' charter rolled into Dehler Park sometime around 7:30 Wednesday morning, ending the eight-day, seven-game road trip that took them through Idaho Falls and Ogden.
But with a game to play less than 12 hours later, where was the turnaround time?
"We came in and let the guys go back to their houses and just sleep," Mustangs manager Dick Schofield said. "They're young, and I told them, 'You're not tired, you just think you're tired.'"
Tired or not, the Mustangs executed in all phases Wednesday night in an 8-3 win over Missoula. Ty Washington homered, and Alex Blandino, Kevin Franklin and Shed Long each drove in two runs as Billings opened a seven-game homestand meaning business.
Travel can be tough on young players in the minors, but Schofield has addressed the issue a couple times by reminding his club to put mind over matter.
"It truly is a mental thing, and you can talk yourself in and out of most things," he said. "You will get physically worn out, but if you allow your brain to say 'I'm tired,' then your body shuts down.
"You can do so many things physically, way beyond what we think we can. And if your sleep patterns get out of whack and that's the worst thing that happens to you in the minor leagues, then we're doing alright."
Left-handed relief pitcher Brennan Bernardino continued his mastery of the Pioneer League, picking up his third save. He hasn't allowed an earned run in 14 1/3 innings.
On the strength of his curveball, Bernardino has given up nine hits and struck out 20 while waking four in 11 appearances.
"I've fallen in love with my curveball," said Bernardino, a 26th-round pick by the Cincinnati Reds in June out of Cal State Dominguez Hills. "It felt like it was coming out of my hand pretty good tonight."
KEY MOMENT: With his team leading 4-3 in the eighth, Franklin shot a two-run triple into the right-field corner on a 3-2 count to extend the advantage. Franklin chugged head first into third base to beat the relay. "That was huge," Schofield said. "Frank has battled all year. He'll have a good at bat and then a couple bad ones … but that was a ball that he shot right down the line."
ON THE MOUND: Bernardino's exploits aside, Mustangs starter Wyatt Strahan worked into the fourth for the first time the season. It was the first time all year he didn't have an inning count, but was pulled once he surpassed his 55-pitch limit. The right-handed Strahan, a third-round draft pick out of USC, gave up three earned runs on eight hits.
AT THE PLATE: Missoula's Justin Williams is one of the hottest hitters in the league, and he extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a first-inning single against Strahan. Williams has hit .421 (32 for 76) during the streak. Washington's solo homer in the fifth, which crossed just inside the foul pole, was his third of the season.
ON DECK: The Mustangs will send Tyler Mahle (2-3, 5.51) to the hill Thursday for the second and final game of their series with Missoula. Mahle took the loss last Saturday in Ogden, which was five days after he beat the Raptors with the league's only nine-inning shutout.

The best way to reduce your prescription drug costs is to follow a healthier lifestyle. Improving your diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and quitting smoking can improve your health enough that you may be able to give up or take lower doses of expensive medications.
The following strategies from the FDA can help you cut your prescription costs significantly.
If your health care provider prescribes a brand-name drug, always ask if there's a generic equivalent. Generics cost 30% to 80% less, on average, than brand names and usually have lower insurance copays.
Generics that are sold in the U.S. have to meet the same FDA quality and performance standards as their brand-name counterparts.
Prices can vary dramatically from neighborhood pharmacies, large retail chains, and online sources. Many pharmacies offer some generic prescriptions for as little as $4 for a 30-day supply. There may be restrictions or limitations, so ask for details.
If your health insurance has a drug plan, include it in your cost comparison. If you use an online pharmacy, be sure it is licensed in your state. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if financial assistance is available for your particular medication or condition. If so, remember that there may be restrictions.
Some pills shouldn't be split, such as those with time-release coatings. But depending on what you take, you may be able to cut your costs by asking your doctor if it's OK to split a higher-dosage version of your medication. If you can do this, be sure to use a pill-splitter device. Don't break pills with your fingers as they may break unevenly and result in an inaccurate dose.
If you take a medication daily, buying a 90-day supply instead of a 30-day refill can reduce dispensing fees or copays.
If you're taking a brand-name drug for which no generic is available, ask your doctor if you can switch to a less expensive drug in the same category.
In some cases, you may even be able to take an over-the-counter (OTC) drug instead of a prescription.
Find out from your prescription drug plan what your out of pocket expenses will be when filing your prescriptions.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Appoints Three New Directors Augmenting Board Depth, Expertise And Vision To Guide Future Growth
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (GMCR) (NASDAQ: GMCR), a leader in specialty coffee and single serve beverages with its innovative Keurig ® single cup brewing technology, today announced the appointment of three new Directors to its Board: John D. Hayes, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of American Express; Susan Saltzbart Kilsby, Senior Advisor to Credit Suisse AG; and Robert A. Steele, former Vice Chairman, Healthcare Strategy for The Proctor & Gamble Company. The appointments coincide with the retirement of two Board members, former President and CEO, Lawrence Blanford, and GMCR founder, Robert Stiller, who becomes Chairman Emeritus following his retirement from the Board.
Commenting on the new members, GMCR's Chairman of the Board of Directors Norm Wesley said, "John, Susan and Rob are terrific individual leaders with prestigious careers and significant global experience. Each will be a tremendous asset to GMCR as we continue to drive single-serve beverage category expansion and pursue growth opportunities leveraging the strength of our Keurig ® brewing technology."
Mr. Wesley continued, "Bob Stiller's vision for GMCR has been unwavering and as a result of his foresight, GMCR experienced unprecedented growth as it successfully transitioned from a regionally recognized specialty coffee roaster to a leader in the emerging single-serve beverage category in North America. On behalf of many GMCR stakeholders, including our Board and our executive leadership and all our employees, we express our gratitude to Bob and we are very pleased that he will assume the newly created role of Chairman Emeritus."
Mr. Stiller stated, "I believe the time is right to retire from the Board and pursue a variety of personal interests. I am confident that GMCR's culture of innovation, the breadth and depth of our Board and leadership team, the determination of our employees and the incredible consumer enthusiasm for our brands will continue to drive value for all GMCR stakeholders. It has been the highlight of my business career to serve GMCR and I am enthusiastic to continue to do so in this new role."

TUCSON- It's a warning that affects everyone who owns a pair of these car keys.
Apparently, the more keys and key chains you have, the higher your chances are of getting into an accident.
According to AAA of Arizona, hundreds of thousands of vehicles have been recalled in recent months for faulty ignition switches.
One reason for all of the recalls now, is because today's ignition switch modules are made of plastic and require more complicated electronics because of smart keys and advances in technology. In the past, ignition switches were constructed of metal and were fairly basic.
According to Eddie Paz from AAA there is a way to avoid trouble.
"Only have whatever keys you need," Paz said. "Just the one key and maybe the key fob. And you don't have to worry about the key getting dislodge and the vehicle turning off on you."

A tale of two labels. Two Carl Hulse stories have featured the perjorative phrase "Big Oil" in their headlines; yet Hulse previously criticized the GOP for using the allegedly misleading phrase "death tax."
Clay Waters
May 18, 2011 - 1:45pm
The phrase "Big Oil," redolent of sophomoric liberals excoriating Republican greed, recurred deep into the story, from the mouth of a liberal Democratic senator.
Also on Tuesday, Senate Democrats wrote to the Federal Trade Commission seeking an inquiry into whether domestic oil refiners had reduced production to drive down the gasoline supply and drive up prices. "This is just another piece of the puzzle that we need to get at as we try to take away taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil and hold Big Oil accountable for whatever may be going on in the supply chain that is hurting the families that I work for," said Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri.The Times also used "Big Oil" in a print headline over a May 9 story by Hulse on the same topic: "Democrats' Plan Would Offset Deficit by Ending Big Oil's Tax Breaks [2]."
Ironically, Hulse himself implicitly criticized the G.O.P. in an April 2009 [3]story for its use of the phrase "death tax," which he found misleading:
Fifteen years after Republican strategists put Democrats on the defensive by sticking that pejorative label on the federal estate tax, Democrats are still struggling with how to handle the levy on assets left behind - the one that conservatives portray as the Internal Revenue Service reaching beyond the grave....Since discovering in the 1994 elections that the "death tax" had real resonance as a political issue, Republicans have pounded on the subject and won a steady escalation in the tax threshold, though they have been unable to secure its repeal. They miss no opportunity to continue the drumbeat.

Bureau of Human Resources
June 20, 2003
TO: | All Agency Department Heads, Human Resource Representatives |
SUBJECT: | Merit Freezes for Fiscal Year 2003 - 2004 (Supersedes Human Resources Memorandum 4-03) |
PL 2003, Chapter 451, Part M, limits the freeze on merit increases to the first year of the biennium, July 1, 2003 – June 30, 2004. Consequently, employees who are not at the top step of their salary range, with a salary review date that falls between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, inclusive, will not advance to the next step. This being the case:
• Employees with a salary review
date on or before June 30, 2003 will receive the recommended merit increase
for 2003.1
• If the salary review date for a recommended merit increase is on or before
June 30, 2003, but is not administratively processed in a timely manner, the
employee will receive the merit increase for 2003.
• When reconstructing retroactive reclassification/reallocation actions, all
merits with a salary review date on or before June 30, 2003 should be calculated
into the retroactive payment due. Salary review dates that fall between July
1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, inclusive, should not be calculated into any retroactive
payment due.
The freeze on merit increases does not effect the requirement to complete annual performance appraisals; annual performance reviews must be conducted on the scheduled performance review date pursuant to Civil Service Bulletin 10.4C. Because the freeze on merit increases does not effect the requirement to complete annual performance appraisals, performance review and salary review dates should continue to be advanced one year. Agency human resource representatives should note "Performance Review-Merit Frozen" in the comments box of HRP.
Consistent the intent of PL 2003, Chapter 451, Part M, discretionary "Special Merit Increases" authorized in Civil Service Rules [Chapter 5, Sec. 3, B, 1, b.] will not be considered during the same period.
S/ Donald A. Wills
Donald A. Wills, Director
1 MSEA bargaining unit and Confidential employees whose salary review date falls on July 1 or July 2, 2003 would ordinarily receive the merit increase effective June 30. In this limited circumstance, the merit increase will not be awarded on June 30. The legislation requires the use of the "scheduled" merit date (actual salary review date) rather than the effective merit date.

StudentsReview ::
Montclair State University - Comments and Student Experiences | |||||||||||||||||||
Most of the faculty is unhelpful. When I fist came to orientation this woman was assisting me with creating my schedule and I told her I would 110 % not be able to commute to class everyday because I live almost an hour away and work full time so I wanted to take as many classes in a day as possible. I guess she just didn't care and she made this screwed up schedule for me where I had class monday - friday. Because I was a freshman they wouldn't allow me to change my schedule myself and I had to go to campus just to change my schedule. So far though most of my teachers have been pretty cool except for a select few here and there.
Many of the students there are rude and unsociable. I've talked to some on campus students and they absolutely hate it because theres nothing to do. I take a few education classes and we had this debate with students with learning disabilities being put in slower classes and a decent amount of students in my class said they were in special ed when they were younger. I almost died on the spot. You were in special ed yet you want to become a teacher? I always head pretty good things about Montclair but they need to really clean up the place and stop letting in every student that applies. They reward themselves for being one of the best colleges offering teaching certificates yet half their students are basically retarded.

Tornado Basics
A tornado is a whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that forms during a thunderstorm when warm, moist air near the ground becomes trapped under cooler, drier air above it. If the warm air is able to break through, it will start to spiral upward. As it rises it begins to cool, and the moisture condenses to form clouds. An area of low pressure begins to form in the middle of this funnel-shaped cloud. When the air closer to the ground rushes in to fill the space, a tornado exists.
Tornadoes can be a mile wide and can reach 60,000 feet above the ground. They can move at a speed of 35 miles per hour, and their winds can reach 250 miles per hour or more.
When and Where Do Tornadoes Occur?
Tornadoes can occur in all regions of the United States. At least 1,000 tornadoes are reported each year. Although no area of the country is immune, some areas are more prone to tornadoes than others. For example, the area of land extending from the Dakotas south to Texas sees the formation of many tornadoes each year. It has become known as "Tornado Alley."
Tornadoes can occur at any time of day, but most form between 3 and 9 p.m. They may form any time of year, but the majority form during spring and summer ("tornado season").
What Are the Consequences of Tornadoes?
The spiraling winds of a tornado can cause great destruction. Property can be destroyed by the strength of the winds. Power lines may be knocked down, and damaged water, sewage and gas systems may result. People and animals may be injured or killed. Damage, injuries and deaths also result from flying debris.
After the tornado passes, secondary disasters such as fires and flooding can persist. The destruction caused by a tornado can lead to injuries and disease from contamination, hypothermia and unsanitary conditions.

Camp Good Days ready for summer
by Jennifer Lee
Yates County, N.Y. - The long awaited opening day for Camp Good Days and Special Times is right around the corner.
Thousands of children go to the camp every year, and the first campers will be there Monday.
4:41 "We're ready for all the kids to come in and they're going to have a great time," said Mark Serrett, Camp Good Days Facilities Manager.
It's a welcoming they weren't sure of after two devastating storms destroyed the grounds at the end of May.
"It was very devastating," said Samantha Bickford, Camp Good Days counselor. "It was like my home was destroyed, all these camper's homes were destroyed. I honestly didn't know if camp was going to be brought together,"
600 volunteers and numerous contributions from the community proved everyone's doubts wrong.
The camp has replaced a cabin destroyed by water damage with a brand new building. The beach and picnic area have also been completely redone.
"A lot of these kids, they have chemo, they come here outside of their treatment and just come to camp and pretty much plan their summer around it," said Bickford.
Camp Good Days told 13WHAM they could not have done it alone.
"Thank you to everyone out there that's helped us and contributed whether it was, money or just work or materials that you donated," said Serrett. "Everybody thank you. You made a great summer for a lot of kids."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Halcon Resources (HK - Get Report) was falling -2.5% to $6.24 Monday on news that Apollo Global Management (APO) will invest up to $400 million in a subsidiary that will hold all of its 314,000 acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Apollo will contribute $150 million for 150,000 preferred shares of the subsidiary with an option to buy an additional 250,000 additional shares. Apollo will receive up to 4% overriding royalty interest from 75 wells that will be drilled in the area.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates HALCON RESOURCES CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate HALCON RESOURCES CORP (HK) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, generally higher debt management risk and disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 3.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 44.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 188.53% to $159.50 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, HALCON RESOURCES CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 17.43%.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.56 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.46, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, HALCON RESOURCES CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Why did the Pioneer and Voyager take only 2 years to reach Jupiter, while Galileo and Cassini took more than 5 years?
My question relates to travel times of the Galileo and Cassini space probes to the planets. My question is why did Galileo take so long(6 years) to reach Jupiter? It was launched in 1989 and reached Jupiter in 1995. Cassini was launched in 1997 and will reach Saturn in 2004- that's 7 years travel time to Saturn, why so long? Pioneer 10/11 only took a couple of years to reach Saturn as did Voyager 1/2- launched in 1977 reaching Saturn in 1980/81. So why is it taking Cassini twice as long to get there? Was the booster that launched it less powerful than Voyager's? Or is it because the planets were aligned in 1977 and the distances were less??
An excellent question with an interesting answer!
The reason is that the Pioneers and Voyagers followed direct trajectories, while Galileo and Cassini followed more circuitous routes.
The Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft launched from Earth and took a direct orbit to Jupiter. This was originally the plan for Galileo and Cassini, as well, but to do this requires that the spacecraft be boosted by a large rocket. After the Challenger disaster, NASA would not allow the large rockets of Galileo and Cassini to be carried in the Shuttle Cargo Bay, ruling out a direct trajectory approach.
Galileo launched with a smaller rocket aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Cassini was launched using a Titan IVB launch vehicle, also carrying a smaller rocket than originally planned.
Interestingly enough, it was lessons learned from Voyager that allowed Galileo and Cassini to reach the outer Solar System using less fuel. The Voyager missions perfected the technique of using a close encounter with a planet to boost the spacecraft's speed.
The spacecraft travels a path just behind the planet in its orbit, and the planet's gravity pulls the spacecraft ahead so that it can "slingshot" away, carrying some of the planet's orbital energy. (The planet, being much larger than the spacecraft, has enough orbital energy that losing a tiny amount won't affect it much at all.)
Galileo followed a VEEGA trajectory: Venus Earth Earth Gravity Assist. A close encounter with Venus and two close encounters with Earth gave it enough energy to reach Jupiter--though its journey required six years instead of two or three. The spacecraft's instruments were mostly dormant during its cruise, though, so it didn't significantly impact the spacecraft's mission lifetime.
Cassini's VVEJGA trajectory relied on gravity assists from Venus, Earth, and Jupiter. With its Jupiter slingshot complete, it is now on its way to Saturn.

DVD Description
The first film is a complex story that aspires to mythology, focusing on a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who searches for the truth behind the mysterious force known as the Matrix. He finds his answer with a group of strangers led by the charismatic Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). What they encounter in confronting that truth makes for a lightning-paced, eye-popping thrill ride of a movie. The Matrix is packed with stunning fight scenes (choreographed by accomplished Hong Kong director Yuen Wo-Ping), astonishing visual effects, quotable lines, and a memorable supporting cast (led by Carrie-Anne Moss, in her first major Hollywood film). The Matrix Reloaded sequel delivers added amounts of everything that the first film had, with the exception of surprises. We see more of the "real world" in the last human city of Zion and we go back to the 1999-look urban virtual reality of the Matrix for more encounters with artificially intelligent baddies and--the real reason you're watchingthere are a lot more martial arts superheroics. This is just part one of a story that spans two sequels, with the final film of the trilogy, The Matrix Revolutions, required to tie up the story and sort out a great deal of plot complexity.

The Straits Times assesses three top candidates that Old Trafford honchos will undoubtedly consider for one of the most high-profile jobs in world sport.

labour law
labour law
Body of law that applies to matters such as employment, wages, conditions of work, labour unions, and labour-management relations. Laws intended to protect workers, including children, from abusive employment practices were not enacted in significant numbers until the late 19th century in Europe and slightly later in the U.S. In Asia and Africa, labour legislation did not emerge until the 1940s and '50s. Employment laws cover matters such as hiring, training, advancement, and unemployment compensation. Wage laws cover the forms and methods of payment, pay rates, social security, pensions, and other matters. Legislation on working conditions regulates hours, rest periods, vacations, child labour, equality in the workplace, and health and safety. Laws on trade unions and labour-management relations address the status of unions, the rights and obligations of workers' and employers' organizations, collective bargaining agreements, and rules for settling strikes and other disputes. See also arbitration; mediation.

Thimerosal ® ☠ mercury ☠ , don't be a Mad Hatter about it!
Submitted by Mark Twain on Sat, 11/24/2012 - 23:35. Permalink
Did the Mad Hatter Have Mercury Poisoning?
The Mad Hatter may be crazy, but he wasn't mercury poison crazy. Oh no. Mercury poisoning has symptoms get much worse.
He may have had only a "trace." Perhaps, "a small amount?" Perhaps just the regulated dose per Center For Decease Control.
A spoonful of mercury helps the medicine go down.
☠ Medicine go down.
In a most 'cold killing way.'

I've seen lots of reports around the web today about how a recent Changewave survey confirms that iPhone 4 owners using AT&T have more dropped calls than those using Verizon.
And that's true – according to this survey by Changewave, it's not even close. AT&T dropped call rates for iPhone 4 users are more than three times higher than Verizon's.
But … in terms of overall satisfaction, the results for Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4 users are 'virtually indistinguishable'. Verizon just edges AT&T with 82% very satisfied customers against an 80% figure for AT&T. Both companies have 98% of customers satisfied though.
So either AT&T customers just don't care very much about dropped calls, or there are other factors (surf and talk at the same time, network speed perhaps) that are outweighing any dissatisfaction caused by the dropped calls.

Magnotherapy - A Fitter Pain Free Way of Life The benefits of Magnotherapy have been well documented in recent years by the many people who have undeniably benefited from its use both to aid healing and to alleviate pain.
What is Magnotherapy? Magnotherapy has been used to improve health in the Far East and other areas of the world for hundreds of years. Now Physiotherapists in many major hospitals use magnetic fields to improve health, overcoming aches and pains and improve recovery.
Asthma Relief through Magnet Therapy Our natural instincts are to nurture children, to make their world free of fear and free of pain. When they are ill we feel powerless to help; frustrated and reliant on medicine to control the problem, yet always searching for the miracle cure.
RSI Relief Through Magnet Therapy Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is one of the curses of modern technology; Work Related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD) may be a newer label for the syndrome but the symptoms are the same: pain, numbness, tingling and skin sensitivity.
What is Bio-Magnetic Therapy? Used in ancient Egypt, rediscovered by NASA; favoured as a cure by the famous yet accessible to all. It is, of course, bio-magnetic healing, the therapy that helps the body heal itself.
Magnet Therapy Magnetic therapy increases blood through a magnet and the electromagnetic fields within the body. A magnet is placed on certain parts of the body and activates positive and negative blood cells; the result is faster flowing blood.
Magnetic Therapy Gains In Popularity There is no question that doctors and scientists have constantly searched for new methods to cure and treat patients for all sorts of diseases.
Magnets for Pain: Does it Work? This is a question, which is being asked by a number of people who are suffering from various kinds of pain, can you use magnets for pain? There is a healing power in magnet and this idea is prevalent since the ancient time in Greece.
Challenging the Placebo Effect for Pain Relief from Magnetic Therapy The recent study by York University* on the effectiveness of copper bangles and magnetic wrist straps to give pain relief to people with arthritis, concluded that based on a well-accepted pain measurement scores,(Womac/Mcgill/ PRI) any improvement could be attributed to the placebo effect of these items.
Emotional Healing Techniques - Get Acquainted with Dr.Nelson's Body Code Healing System I was introduced to Dr. Bradley Nelson's work through his book "The Emotion Code ". I was intrigued by the concept of a "heart-wall" which is created by trapped emotions lodged your body.
