I am rooting oleander cuttings in water. As soon as they show signs of root development I pot them up. I change the water daily, but I am having problems with bacterial rot. Does anyone know of a simple way to control the rot long enough for the cuttings to root? |

I have only rooted oleander cuttings in sandy soil. If you want to start cuttings that have a rot or fungus problem wash them in common bleach. UC Davis general information on stem cuttings says 10 seconds. Some say dilute the bleach. Some say use hydrogen peroxide. In articles on propagation more attention is made to sterilizing the cutting tools than to sterilizing the cuttings. Some commercial rooting compounds have a fungicide in them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: UC Davis general information on stem cuttings.

Thank you, that is a useful link. I think I will try a bleach wash next time. I have already identified the size and position of the cutting material that roots quickest so the solution to my problem may be to concentrate on the easy material and to discard the rest. I'm trying to root about 100 cuttings quickly at minimum cost and effort. |

So how many bubbles a minute are you getting? And when did you make it rack it off etc? The pumpkin flavor will naturally disperse into the liquid. So that shouldn't be a problem. Man oct nov is to far away. But it's going to be one wild thanksgiving.
I haven't really checked to see if there's a bubbles a minute. I tend to doubt if there's much actual activity, if any--like I said, it gassy when I swirl it to degas. I started it at 1.147 on 5/13, racked it to secondary and added the pumpkin and spice at 1.012 on 6/6.
FWIW, I racked this again last night and it's still gassy as all get out. SG was down to 1.011, so I guess the EC-1118 I used really did poop out at 18% (which is what I calculate the ABV to be from the OG). I'm hoping the orange flavor balances out over aging, because right now it's overpowering the pumpkin flavor which is pretty subtle anyway. If not, for future batches I would cut the number of oranges by half or more.
Did you do any step additions of nutrients with this?
Nope just set it and forget it for a month. Rack into secondary after 30 days onto pumpkin and put it into a dark place for 6 months then bottle for 6 more. Then it should be ready.
Just tasted this on Saturday and I can say this is one thick sweet delicious mead! It's still a touch hot but by the time October rolls around ots going to be perfect! Next step is to up this to 3 gallon batch. The color is amazing and ill bottle this next in a week or two!
Bottled yesterday, tasted unbelievable! I'll be making a 3 gallon batch soon for 2014.
Huesmann how did yours turn out?
Bottled on April 23rd 2013!

Morning folks, quick question about one of the wines we have perking away in a carboy. We started a persimmon wine in September. If clearing beautifully. However, the carboy currently looks like a 1960's lava lamp. What I mean is, the top half of the carboy is perfectly cleared, while the bottom half is full of, I guess, very fine pulp from the flesh of the persimmons. Any suggestions on how to rack this wine off of the pulp and not transfer the pulp to the next carboy? If I just rack everything above the pulp, I'm going to loose about 2.5 gallons of the 5. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You could try pouring it through sanitized pantyhose. I think I'd be sure to have several pair on hand, though!!! (N.B: and this is why we put the fruit in a nylon mesh bag instead of leaving it free floating, I imagine)
Considering: Sparkling raspberry wine, carrot wine In Primary: Ed's Apfelwein; Raspberry Puree Apple Cider In Secondary: Pumpkin Pie Mead; Traditional Mead; Dried Elderberry Wine; Blueberry Wine; Texas Persimmon wine; White grape/peach wine; Texas Twang; Hi, Biscus! Metheglyn; A Maize-ing Wine So far, so good.
You could coldcrash it, above freezing, overnight and this should get the gross lees to settle some. Then rack from the top down to just above the sediment and consider repeating the chilling/racking until you get as much fluid off as possible. Any live yeast will waken back up as they warm. You could look at bentonite and sparkolloid use, this will compact your lees. But right now, you need to rack off of the gross lees. When in Sept did you start this, and is this the first attempt at racking off that pulp?
Motto: quel che sara sara
It If you are familiar with persimmon, a fruit sack would not have caught this. I left it in primary for about 8 days because of how vigorous it was, then racked to this carboy
Hmm, hit send button accidentally. Ok, pulled notes out for this wine. Wasn't September. Actually started in primary on 10/8. 17 lbs of ripe persimmon 3 tsp pectic enzyme 2 crushed Camden tablets 3 1/2 tbsp acid blend 3 tsp yeast nutrient 10 lbs white sugar 1 pkg Lavlin 71 B-1122 yeast Crushed persimmons removing leaves and stems. Impossible to wash ripe persimmons. Mashed pulp through stringer to remove the seeds and skins. Placed all course pulp and seeds into a mesh bag and placed into primary. Added pectic enzyme, Camden, acid blend, and nutrient to primary. Topped off with enough water to bring the level to five gallons. Covered with cloth and set aside in utility room at 72 degrees 10/10 Added approx 1 gallon of water to sauce pan and brought to boil. Added sugar, stirring constantly. Allowed to cool. Added to must. Brought the total volume to 6.5 gallons. Sprinkled yeast onto must, covered, and placed back into the utility room. 10/21 Racked to carboy after things calmed down. Added 2 more Camden tablets. Haven't done anything since except occasionally rattle jug to get gasses out of the pulp.
Oh yeah, after adding the sugar and bringing volume to 6.5 gallons, the OG was 1.100. Didn't measure SG when racked to carboy, too much pulp for accurate measurement.
What is your SG now? You can always use a double lined bag next time, medium inside, fine on outside. The fruit probably do not need mashing if they are ripe and soft. Stashing in freezer overnight and then placing in bag to thaw will ensure their breakdown. And ferment will break them down. I know a few near EKU that double bag it all, taking care not to squeeze the bag but suspending it like a jelly bag and allowing it to drip as much as possible when they remove it around Day 8. Of course they still have pulp escape and rack gross lees once they surpass 1/4"...but that resolves pretty quickly, so they told me. But your wine will be fine.
Specific gravity now is .995. Very dry. Taste is good. Got that young wine flavor, but hints of being a great wine with a meal.

How often do you bathe your baby?
I know they recommend not bathing your baby more than 1-2 times/ a week. I was just wondering just how much other mom's actually bathe their babies.

I have twin 5mnth olds and a 18 mnth old. My twins get 1 bath a week. Now the 18mnth old gets a bath 3-6 times a week. I couldn't imagine everynight. I hope I'm not a horriable mom.posted 06/28/2011 by Lovesthem3peices
Once a week for my baby and a sponge bath everyday.posted 05/14/2012 by johannea
We bath the baby everynight. We use aqueous bath drops (oil drops) in his water so it does not dry out his skin. We also bath the baby with aqueous cream with no fragrance as opposed to soap. My paediatrician told me this would help prevent baby from getting eczema. I have done this with both my kids and they both have baby soft skin.posted 06/27/2011 by mamaaudrey1234
With my first two, I bathed them everyday. By the time my third came along I was too busy for that :) and bathed her every other day.posted 06/13/2011 by momsangel03
I was asking myself the same question... Thanks to all for sharing! Here's my input: I bathed my baby 3 times a week from newborn to 6 months. She is 7 months now and I try to bathe her every night since then. I also live in West Texas so it gets really hot during the summer. By the end of the day she is very sweaty, and a nice, warm bath at night before bed really helped her sleep comfortably. My husband is worried about her skin getting dry, but I feel the sweat of the day might be more harmful. However, once the weather changes, I might go back to 3-4 baths per week. I think the best advice is to follow your instinct, and check with the doctor if you have a major concern.posted 09/18/2014 by ariannatx
I gave my baby a bath every day in morning first i give then oil massage then a bath on a baby bather recently bought it from Babeez World a friend of mine suggested me to buy a baby bather she also suggest me thisonleine store for shopping. But regardless of how they smelled I at least bathed them every other day. I didn't think the wipies cleaned their bottoms enough for me. I liked the though of soaking them in a warm soapy bath. They also have a lot of cracks that seemed to harbor a lot of dead skin that would soak clean in a bath. That was my personal preference and I also thought they slept better after a warm bath which I desperately needed.posted 12/06/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
By the time my daughter was 8 weeks old we were bathing her everynight and it was January in NY so it was very dry. We used a thicker lotion to help with any dry skin. But we also did it for the bonding it was a great way for her to get some one on one time with me and daddy and it also helped her sleep at night. And who doesn't like a nice bath before bed? So just use your instincts and you will be fine.posted 06/14/2011 by missymoo28
Every night - followed by a mild moisturizer to keep their skin moist.posted 06/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
We bathe our six month old 3x a week (unless she gets really dirty).posted 02/19/2014 by Morgie910
Thanks for the responses. Those who bathe their babies everyday, did you ever experience any problems with their skin getting too dry? I know that's the reason they say not too bathe everyday. My son is 1 month, we bathe him 2-3 times a week. I would like to bathe him everynight before bed, he's a bit colicy so it helps relax him. Just worried about the dry skin. I do put lotion on after every bath.posted 06/14/2011 by angie3386

Re:Graduated College (524 comments)
Yes, you will have less time and money if you have kids, but it's not an entirely fair comparison. You don't know how much happier or more fulfilled having kids will make you feel until you do (and isn't that a big part of why we do our hobbies?). For many of us (most of us, hopefully) the deal works out in our favor because we're happier than we would be if we had all that time and money to spend on our old hobbies. It's a net gain, but it's easy to present as a net loss because it's the unknown.

Code reviews. Make sure everybody on the team has seen everyone else's code and understands it. Do regular (monthly, bi-weekly, whatever) code reviews. Code quality will go up.
Egoless programming. Don't allow anybody to become a rock star or the only person who can read or write any bit of the code. Everybody must be cross-trained on someone else's code, at least. The team is responsible for the code, so make sure people are polite during code reviews. Polite doesn't mean downplaying problems. It means pointing out problems without being an internet jackass. Nobody "wins" at code review, but the code quality goes up. This works as well as any other software development methodology, with lower overhead, less dedication and no cargo cult behavior.
Professionalism. Foosball tables and other wank infantilize the staff. You're adults, you're there to write high quality code. Keep regular hours, understand that you're there to code, you don't want anybody pulling all-nighters or living in their office. Code quality will go up because it's taken seriously.
Encourage openness. Encourage experimentation. Allow radical changes once in a while. Good programmers want to be understood, respected, listened to and believed. They don't want to be pigeonholed into some kind of geek stereotype, they don't want internet fame and glory, they don't need you to do their laundry for them, they don't need to be coddled.
Reduce (but don't eliminate) time pressure. Code quality wants to go up. It's prevented from going up because management wants you to get to market as fast as possible. Everything you do that improves quality takes time away from feature development. Make it clear that moving deadlines up means fewer features *always*, lower quality *never*. Never sacrifice quality to satisfy a suit.
Re:This Announcement Hot on Heels of Bilderbergers (759 comments)
+1. I haven't yet seen an empirical argument (as opposed to an argument from first principles) that biodiversity is necessary. I wouldn't want to throw it away, but in this world everything is a tradeoff, and the value of warm fuzzy feelings diminishes rapidly when lives—or simply ways of life—are on the line. When scientists warn of catastrophic species loss, the wooey green types are invited to imagine Bambi and her friendly woodland friends rather than the lichens and cockroaches with different colored dots on them that are what's being discussed. We can lose as many species as it takes to keep this species alive; an Earth without humans is absolutely meaningless and absurd. Let's see the proof, rather than conjecture and assumption founded on essentially religious notions of the "earth mother," that it actually matters before we decide to halt human progress in its tracks.
Re:Turtles all the way down (325 comments)
Most programmers doing these kinds of calculations are using floating point numbers, which already have interesting rounding error failure modes that most programmers don't understand. This is going to exacerbate the problem.
Decreasing hardware intelligence and counting on programmers to make up the difference hasn't been a winning proposition in a long time.

Re:Mr. Wall, please sit down... (577 comments)
Juries have zero power and one responsibility: to determine based on the facts and testimony they've seen, whether or not the law has been broken. They may make a sentencing recommendation, which the judge is then free to ignore. They are not wielding some kind of absolute power. Additionally, death penalty cases are a rounding error compared to the bulk of cases.
Re:Mr. Wall, please sit down... (577 comments)
That is absolutely the most harebrained scheme I've ever seen floated on Slashdot, possibly the entire internet, and I've been here a while. Think harder. How exactly are juries supposed to remain impartial if they're on the hook for their decisions? Their purpose is not to invent the law or implement it. It is simply to decide, fairly, whether some party has violated the law. Punishing them for the outcomes of their decisions amounts to punishing 12 randomly selected people for making the mistake of having a public address, or the mistake of living in the wrong country.
Re:Error My Ass (1005 comments)
As your average white guy, I tend to bristle when I feel the race card is being played, and you're right, the media is definitely intentionally making things worse, because it's better for ratings. But on the other hand, I have seen a lot of insane "I'm not a racist, but <insert racist thing>" going on lately, and not just racism, but sexism and all kinds of other bigotry. Even if there isn't as much outright racism in the country now, there is still a lot of unnecessary, unhelpful fear based on racial stereotyping, and that fear is great for escalating situations that really shouldn't be that serious.
It sounds very similar to the phenomenon Malcolm Gladwell discusses in Blink where both sides were primed to expect trouble, so trouble happened. In the book he describes a situation in which some cops gunned down an unarmed black kid because they thought he was reaching for his own gun, and not his wallet. In that situation, there was no reason to assume this kid was dangerous, it was just that the kid was black and it was late at night in a bad part of town.
Whoever is determined to be at fault for this death, it's clearly working as a great proxy for the overall distrust and discomfort between black and white America that most of us are aware of but don't like to talk about and like to pretend went away in the 80's. Depending on how it all shakes out, it could improve the situation, or it could just widen the divide.

Re:Anything but (334 comments)
Do it with modern encoders and modern settings, and back it up with proof from actual ABX testing and not unsubstantiated boasting. Then we'll have something to talk about. Until then it's dreams and excuses.
I don't mind people doing irrational things. I use lossless encoding as much as I can too. It makes me feel good to know that I can have bit-for-bit accuracy of reproduction. But if you think your ears are actually good enough to sense bit-for-bit accuracy, you're delusional, and reckless crowing about your magical ears does nothing but perpetuate the mythology used by predatory "hi-fi" businesses to fleece neophytes and people who should know better. If you want to believe in that stuff, fine, but unscientific bullshit is exactly what enables bad vendors to sell gold-plated HDMI cables at a huge markup and bass-increasing green permanent markers to suckers who think they can hear quality differences that simply do not exist.
Re:Anything but (334 comments)
I haven't tried that. Is it really much better with other codecs or uncompressed music though? Seems like if you don't have the vocals in a separate track, you're going to have to try to remove them algorithmically, which is going to be tricky but shouldn't be worse with Mp3 than any other format. If all the tracks are flattened into one, they're flattened into one regardless of the encoding.
Re:Headphones, always headphones (334 comments)
Speakers have different efficiency levels. Better speakers are more efficient and need less amperage to create the same volume of sound.
Re:Headphones, always headphones (334 comments)
Nice. I have the RF-62 II's. I love Klipsch too.
Re:Anything but (334 comments)
Nice jab! Would be better if it were relevant though: we're discussing 40KHz dynamic range and MP3 sounding shittier than uncompressed, which simply isn't true (unless you're using a very old encoder or very low quality settings).
Re:Headphones, always headphones (334 comments)
To each his own. I fatigue more rapidly with the headphones than with the stereo.

Saab 9-3 Independence Edition Convertible
The Saab 9-3 Independence convertible is a limited edition car, as only 366 units will be built. That's one for each day away from GM, plus one more to start the second year on a fresh start. Each limited edition car has its production number etched into the rear side windows. The car wears a unique amber orange metallic exterior paint, and custom eighteen-inch wheels to set it apart from other 9-3s on the road. The interior features beige leather seats with orange accents, a carbon-fiber-look instrument panel, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Independence Edition will have the familiar turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that makes 220 hp. Buyers will have their choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
Saab 9-4X
Saab enters the ever-growing crossover segment with the new 9-4X. It debuted at the 2010 Los Angeles auto show and it was co-developed with the new 9-5 in the States. Saab claims it "really is a Saab car" but we can't help but notice the resemblance to the Cadillac SRX, both visually and mechanically. Behind the three-holed grille, a turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 engine making 300 hp routed through a six-speed automatic transmission; power goes to all four wheels via Saab's XWD system. The classy interior includes items like navigation, a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound system, Bluetooth, auxiliary and USB ports, and rear seat entertainment.
We are anxious to see just how much Saab has separated itself from GM in the past year; we get to drive the 9-4X in May. The real test, however, comes when the new 9-3 arrives next fall. It must be good, and it has to sell well if Saab has any chance to live on independently.

When it comes to building a sports car, performance is key. When you design it using the foundation of intelligent Subaru engineering, great performance is absolute.
All the handling and performance of a BRZ with the look and feel of a WRX STI. This very limited edition comes in WR Blue Pearl or Crystal White Silica and with an STI Aero Package that will leave your neighbors even more jealous.
On the outside, 17-inch black-finish STI wheels with red-painted brake calipers. On the inside, blue-trimmed upholstery highlights, Leather/Alcantara® -trimmed seats with blue bolsters, accent stitching, and BRZ logo embroidery, a frameless rearview mirror, and a red STI engine start/stop button.
Time to trade your love in for a little lust.
Performance comes in the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER® engine, combining balance with power and efficiency. Direct-injection technology provides 100 hp per liter without the need of turbocharging, 151 lb-ft of torque, and quick acceleration to its 7,400 RPM redline. The Dual Active Valve Control System adjusts valve timing to match the engine's RPM for optimal response.
Standard on: All models
Read more about its DESIGN.Read more about its SAFETY.FRONT-ENGINE, REAR-WHEEL DRIVE
For improved response, Subaru engineered the BRZ to send its power to the rear wheels. Combined with a compact, naturally symmetrical drivetrain design, you get a sports car with optimal balance and one of the lowest centers of gravity in its class.
Standard on: All models
The BRZ is designed to be more compact, with the engine placed as low as possible and farther back in the chassis. This rear-drive layout allows for low polar moment and near-perfect balance for pure sports car handling.
Standard on: All models
The BRZ is designed to perform like a sports car should, with independent MacPherson struts in the front and independent double wishbone suspension in the back. And its Torsen® limited-slip differential provides improved grip, making it lively and dynamic through the corners.
Standard on: All models

Canada will withstand concerns about the housing market because of its relatively strong global position, Bank of Nova Scotia Chief Executive Officer Richard Waugh said.
"The current concerns about Canada's housing market are reason for caution but not pessimism," said Waugh, according to the text of his speech at the bank's 180th annual meeting today in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. "We can and will manage through any potential problems."
Waugh, 64, said Canadian household balance sheets "remain solid, and our housing market is supported by strong fundamentals." He said it's up to Canadian banks, and not government or regulators, to manage risks and advise clients appropriately.
Scotiabank had record annual profit last year of C$5.27 billion ($5.32 billion), driven by increases in domestic and international consumer banking. Last month, the lender said net income in the fiscal first quarter rose 15 percent to C$1.44 billion.
Waugh, a vice chairman of the Institute of International Finance, expects the global economy to have "prolonged period of slower economic growth, higher market volatility and continued uncertainty."
"It's important to note that Canada remains in a stronger position than most others," Waugh said.

Debt Crisis Follows Greece Getting A Second Look
After Greece joined the European Union, its government started borrowing money and spending lavishly. It nearly defaulted on its debts and needed a massive bailout. The Greek debt crisis unfolded, not just in Athens, but at a bond trading desk in Newport Beach, California.
Copyright © 2010 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
LYNN NEARY, host:
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Lynn Neary.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
And I'm Renee Montagne.
Turns out a big European bailout for Greece hasn't stopped some major unions there from calling on workers to strike. Again next week, Greeks will be protesting the government's decision to cut benefits for public employees.
Plenty of people are wondering how Greece got so deeply in debt. To sort it out, we sent two Planet Money reporters to opposite sides of the globe. Adam Davidson is in Southern California on the floor of the world's largest bond traders, PIMCO. And Chana Joffe-Walt is in Athens.
CHANA JOFFE-WALT: These two places are linked. So Adam, let's start with the Greek story.
ADAM DAVIDSON: Sure. I'll just stay in California and come in when I'm needed.
JOFFE-WALT: Deal. Okay. The Greek story starts with a change, a big change, around 10 years ago. For Theopolis Papalostakis(ph), it happened in a meeting. Theopolis is a banker. And one day his manager asked everyone to stay late and announced the euro is coming and that changes everything.
Mr. THEOPOLIS PAPALOSTAKIS (Banker): And one of the things, he said that you should forget what you know. You should forget everything you know about banking. Everything's going to be all new. Soon it's going to be like a supermarket. People will come in and buy all kinds of different things.
JOFFE-WALT: And when he said that, what did you think?
Mr. STAKIS: Well, you know, we laughed. We said, yeah, sure, yeah. I'm sure. Sure, yeah. Well, it did happen.
JOFFE-WALT: What happened was pretty amazing. Before this, Greek people didn't really take out loans all that often or do most of the kinds of things we do at banks. They deposited money and they withdrew.
But every morning after that meeting, Theopolis would come into work, turn on his computer and the interest rate up in the corner of his screen on consumer loans would be lower - 18 percent two days later, 15, 12, six, four.
Theopolis bought a car. Six months later, he bought another car. His neighbors bought a home, then they bought a vacation home. People came into the bank to get loans to go on vacation. And then loans to pay for those vacation loans.
Wherever you go in Greece, people remember this moment 10 years ago. My cab driver, Adonis Barcolis(ph), remembers it.
Mr. ADONIS BARCOLIS (Cab Driver): I used to own a Toyota. Now I'm owning a Mercedes, you know.
JOFFE-WALT: People were spending cheap money and so was the government. Loukas Tsoukalis told me about this. He's with the Hellenic Foundation�for�European and Foreign Policy. And he says the government took that cheap money and they put on an elaborate Olympics and they returned to a favorite practice of Greek politicians - addressing unemployment by hiring people and never, ever firing them.
What's the craziest thing you remember hearing of?
Mr. LOUKAS TSOUKALIS (Hellenic Foundation�for�European and Foreign Policy): I think there's(ph), for example, an organization which was set up for the drying up of a lake. I think the lake has been dried up for the last 30 years, but the organization is still there. So there are a few employees who are paid.
JOFFE-WALT: Everyone here knows that there was this moment where suddenly money was cheap. What they don't know is why.
I was at a brunch at Theopolis's house last weekend, the banker, and his neighbor's were over, this couple Claudia Falemeyer(ph) and Elliott Scalataro(ph), and they're all sitting around, they're talking about: where did the money come from?
Ms. CLAUDIA FALEMEYER: It was like the manna from heaven.
Mr. ELLIOTT SCALATARO: That's what happened.
JOFFE-WALT: But why now? Like why one year do you not have any money to buy cars and vacations and homes, and then the next year you have everything you could possibly want?
Ms. FALEMEYER: Maybe he knows. He was working in a bank. I don't know where the money comes from.
JOFFE-WALT: You know.
Mr. THEOPOLIS: From - I don't know. I don't know.
DAVIDSON: Chana, I think this is where I should come in, because I actually do know where the money came from. I know where Greece got that money and it wasn't from heaven. It was from Newport Beach.
This is the quietest room of 200 people I've ever been in. It's a little noisier than usual right now, but there's no nose.
That quiet room is a bond trading floor at PIMCO, one of the largest bond trading outfits in the world. Bonds, of course, are how governments borrow money. They sell a bond, which is like selling an IOU. PIMCO's Scott Mather remembers a meeting that he was in around 10 years ago, right around when Theopolis, the Greek banker, was called into his meeting.
At Scott's meeting, the traders at PIMCO decided, hey, let's take a second look at Greece. Let's start lending them money. Let's buy a bunch of their bonds. And PIMCO was not the only one.
Mr. SCOTT MATHER (PIMCO): And the market was basically giving Greece the benefit of the doubt, because they were a eurozone member, part of the club.
DAVIDSON: Sure, Greece's governments were famous for their long history of lousy financial management. But now they promised to act like grownups, to be responsible. After all, they'll be carrying around the same currency as the Germans and the Fins. And Scott figured even if Greece did screw up, the richer countries would step in and help them out.
JOFFE-WALT: That's a nice crystal ball.
DAVIDSON: Yeah, it worked out that way. Right. So PIMCO starts lending the country money at rates closer to what those Germans and Fins are paying. And that makes all loans in Greece cheaper, not just government loans. And this goes on for nearly a decade.
JOFFE-WALT: And so back in Greece, 2009, there's a new government that comes into power and the new government makes a surprise announcement. They say, remember how the previous guys said that our deficit was six percent? It's actually twice that.
DAVIDSON: The traders at PIMCO, like bond traders all over the world, were shocked. They were furious. Thats a big difference and that led to traders at PIMCO to take action, bond action.
Dr. MOHAMED EL-ERIAN (CEO, PIMCO): At the end of last year, we sold all our Greek exposure(ph).
DAVIDSON: This is Mohamed El-Erian. He is the CEO of PIMCO. And he says when they told Greece no more loans, we're not buying anymore of your bonds, the Greek government asked them to reconsider.
Dr. El-ERIAN: The Greek government came with lots of offerings.
DAVIDSON: Did they come to you directly?
Dr. El-ERIAN: They did come to us directly, via our offices in Germany and London. And we said thank you, but no thank you.
DAVIDSON: Not just PIMCO, most bond buyers all over the world were saying: No, Greece. We won't lend you money. We won't buy your bonds. The governments of Europe though, said okay, Greece. We'll bail you out but only if you stop paying all those teachers, and postal workers, and lake dryer-uppers all that money.
JOFFE-WALT: Which pretty much brings us up to date, the Greek people are really mad.
(Soundbite of chanting protestors)
DAVIDSON: And the guys at PIMCO understand that. The Greek government made some bad choices and now the Greek citizens are being asked to pay for them, with their salaries and their pensions. And Scott Mather says it's not just Greece.
Mr. MATHER: Most of the developed world is screwed. So the rich world has continued to spend more than theyve made for decades. To us, the most startling thing is this disconnect where people think there is some easier way out. There is no easy way out.
JOFFE-WALT: Greece may be one of the worst examples, but almost every developed country - including the U.S...
DAVIDSON: Especially, Chana, the U.S.
JOFFE-WALT: Especially the U.S., every country has been borrowing more than they can pay back without making difficult choices; without raising taxes or spending less.
DAVIDSON: Greece's solution for now is to borrow more money, which the bond buyers at PIMCO are worried about. They say it doesnt address the core problems; it's just a way to kick the can down the road a bit.

Sharing Partitions? /root help too please.
Since Linux Mint is a variation of Ubuntu I am assuming that the default user is not root. Is there any advantage to using /root user if I am the only one that is going to use this computer?
If this is not going to work can anyone suggest a good partition setup? I plan on having 40GB for Windows, 15GB for shared, 1GB for swap, and 14GB for Linux.

I planted a jackmanii in the spring; it is growing well but hasn't flowered. Thanks to feedback from this forum I am confident that it will in a year or two. Meanwhile I want to plant a second type in the same area--I am trying to cover a large pole, and I love the effect of two colors intertwined. Should I plant in the fall or wait until spring? If I plant in the fall, when should I do it? And how far apart does it need to be from the jackmanii? Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I try to put about 1 1/2' between plants. I've had success with fall and spring planting, but they seem to do better for me with fall planting unless they are really tiny. |

Mr. Bernanke said that the rapid growth of developing economies was behind the increase in food prices, rather than the Fed's decision to embark on a second, $600bn (£371bn) round of printing money. "Clearly what's happening is not a dollar effect, it's a growth effect," Mr. Bernanke said in a rare question and answer session with journalists at the National Press Club in Washington on Thursday
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) has warned that high prices, already above levels in 2008 which sparked riots, were likely to rise further.
The FAO measures food prices from an index made up of a basket of key commodities such as wheat, milk, oil and sugar, and is widely watched by economists and politicians around the world as the first indicator of whether prices will end up higher on shop shelves.
The index hit averaged 230.7 points in January, up from 223.1 points in December and 206 in November. The index highlights how food prices, which throughout most of the last two decades have been stable, have taken off in alarming fashion in the past three years. In 2000, the index stood at 90 and did not break through 100 until 2004.
Well, how do you like that? It's growth that it driving food prices to records. Not money printing.
But wait…hold on…is the emerging world growing faster now than it was two or three years ago? Nope. Hmmm… Is the growth a big surprise? Did something happen to make investors and traders suddenly realize that…well…hey…the world is growing!

Lance Briggs asks Bears for permission to seek trade
CHICAGO (AP) – Unhappy with his contract, Chicago Bears Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs tells the Chicago Tribune he is seeking permission to look for a trade.
Briggs says the Bears "made their decision, now I have to make mine" and that he's "100 percent a Bear, until I'm not a Bear anymore." He says agent Drew Rosenhaus has filed a formal request to seek a trade.
A six-time Pro Bowl pick, Briggs has three years left on a six-year, $36 million deal and is scheduled to make $3.9 million this season, including bonuses. He recently approached the Bears seeking a raise, but management apparently is not budging. Chicago has about $19 million in cap room.
Rosenhaus did not return a message from the Associated Press on Friday. The Bears had no comment.

How to grow and prepare blueberries
(Read article summary)A gardener and a chef team up with advice on growing and cooking blueberries, including a recipe for a cool and elegant summer dessert.
Courtesy of Linda Weiss
Blueberries are extremists, says Anne, the gardener. They need intensely acid soil, a pH of 4.0 to 5.0. Add sunshine and a steady supply of water to the roots and you will produce a bumper crop of those tasty berries.
Acid soil necessary
To acidify soil that is too "sweet" (alkaline), use agricultural sulphur according to label directions. After you plant the blueberry bushes, use acid-producing organic mulches such as pine, oak, or hemlock leaves/needles at least two inches thick. You can also use a fertilizer formulated for acid plants.
You can prune blueberry bushes into ornamental shapes so they will even fit into a street-side garden. They have little bell-shaped blossoms in the spring, which turn into plump berries, first a kind of pink and then the rich blue.
You will know when the berries are ripe because they will easily spill into your hand when you gently tug on the clusters.
Northern and Southern blueberries
Gardeners in the North can grow the Northern highbush varieties that withstand the cold and snowy winters. If you live in a warmer climate, you'll want to seek out the Southern highbush and rabbiteye blueberries, which tolerate heat and humidity.
Some of the newer varieties don't require a pollinator to produce fruit, but you will have a larger crop if you plant two different cultivars. For cross-pollination, be sure to purchase two that bloom at the same time.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place turkey, beef, eggs, garlic, cottage cheese, salt and kitchen bouquet in an ungreased 13 x 9 baking pan. Place crackers in a food processor and make crumbs. Pour into baking pan. Process onions and pour into baking pan, then green pepper and pour into baking pan. Mix all ingredients and separate into two loaves. Cover and bake one hour.
Remove cover and drain fat. Mix tomato soup with water and pour over loaves. Return to oven for 15 minutes uncovered. I like to break off small pieces of the meatloaf and mix with the tomato gravy.
To make in a crock pot: Mix ingredients the same as for baking. Place in the bottom of a crockpot, cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low. I usually bake it the entire 8 hours. To remove, cut the meatloaf in half. Mix tomato soup with water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then pour over meat prior to serving

Amreco nixes sale of NPC HE plants
-A A +AThursday, May 5, 2011
THIRTY-three electric cooperatives, under the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperative Inc. (Amreco), are opposing the impending privatization of the Agus and Pulangi hydroelectric plants.
Amreco executive director Clint Pacana said the consuming public must be consulted first before the sale of hydroelectric plants since they would eventually suffer the consequences of costly electricity.
Pacana said Amreco will take active part in a public hearing that will be conducted by the Joint Congressional Power Commission at the Pryce Plaza Hotel on May 13.
Representative Henedina R. Abad, the chairperson of the House Energy Committee, will preside the hearing.
Also expected to attend the joint congressional hearing are Senator Francis Escudero, Cagayan de Oro City first district Representative Rufus Rodriguez and other lawmakers from Mindanao.
The Amreco executive director said all the 33 electric cooperatives in Mindanao believe that rates of electricity in Mindanao grid will increase, more than that of Luzon and Visayas once the operations of Agus and Pulangi hydroelectric plants are privatized.
The Agus hydroelectric plant complex is located in Lanao del Norte while the Pulangi hydroelectric facility is in Maramag, Bukidnon.
He, however, admitted that on June 11, 2011, it will be 10 years since the passage of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira), which provides for the privatization of power generation and transmission.
The Epira law provides that the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (Psalm) would consult the stakeholders in the electric power industry prior to privatization moves.
The Agus and Pulangi hydroelectric plants are under the management of Psalm and National Power Corporation.
At present, hydro-based generated electricity in Mindanao comprise about 50 percent of total generation in Mindanao, complemented by electricity from various diesel-operated power barges, coal-fired generated power and geothermal plants.
Pacana argued that the cost of electricity has direct impact on investments, particularly those large companies that are considering Mindanao for expansion plans.
Until today, every kilowatt-hour of electricity that is being generated from hydroelectric plants by state-owned National Power Corporation costs only P1.
Additional cost comes from transmission and distribution charges of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines and the electric cooperatives and utilities.

graves is a ranged, carry, tanky dps
Graves is NOT tanky, he dies so easily when attacked and needs to stay away from focus at all times. The arguement that he "isnt item dependent" is total BS, he starts with 57 damage and withough buying items he will do no damage. He pretty much requires crit and dmg for all of his items and so any focus ruins him, just dont let him get pot shots off on you and your perfectly fine
hes still a little too sustainable for a ranged dps IMO
he just got nerfed stop posting on old threads.
Hes op one of the few champions that are actually broken.Hes tanky like hell even you do focus him his passive will keep alive along with a escape mechanism it ridiculous and if the tanks are good you cant even get close to him.His early game ridiculous.
Junior Member
确实很op很imba 不过还是要看操作要看辅助support
He's not grossly OP, but a good graves will pretty much win all bot lanes because of his nuking abilities(as long as opponent doesn't have soraka)...
If you look at his stats, skills, then yes he is OP. But he also has one fatal weakness. His range is only 525. (Besides Sivir), most AD carry has at least 550 range, and many are 600+. His low range makes positioning harder, thus the reason why he's tankier. Does his low range make him weak? No, because his skills equals it out. So I would call Graves a viable AD carry, but hardly OP. Kog Maw on the other hand...

The WRX remains one of the great unsung performance bargains. For just about $25,000, you get a four-wheel-drive turbocharged compact that blows right past a Volkswagen GTI and will hang with $30,000 Chevrolet Camaros and Ford Mustangs. And now it even looks cool, with styling more like its big brother's and less like an Impreza owned by a college history professor (leaving off the liberal bumper stickers will help, too). It's not just a paper champion, either. The turbocharger provides its power in fat, easy-to-use doses, its whine mixing pleasantly with the boxer engine's growl. The stick shift lacks the tactility that defines the best Honda and Mazda manuals, but it doesn't offend and works well with the nicely weighted clutch. Those in search of hard-core handling would probably tighten up the chassis, but with power going to all four wheels, it will still pull through corners with smile-inducing enthusiasm.
Of course, there are tradeoffs. The interior falls well short of Volkswagen standards and is more basic even than what you'll find in an equivalently priced Mazdaspeed3. There are only five cogs in the transmission, although the smooth four-cylinder never really screams for another gear.
My only real gripe concerns the steering, which, as in the STI, remains numb, vague, and dead on-center. But to get any discernable upgrade without giving up acceleration, you're looking at $30,000 for a Mustang or a Mitsubishi Evo.
