Get public works back on the road
PUBLISHED: 22 Aug 2012 00:05:44 | UPDATED: 22 Aug 2012 08:28:09PUBLISHED: 22 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 22 Aug 2012The truck stops here . . . a federal funding squeeze is taking place just as state revenues are also under pressure, Photo: AFP
Tim Hampton
Infrastructure spending, and public investment more generally, is in decline and is expected to keep falling for at least the next two years.
But to avoid a growth-threatening infrastructure bottleneck, the federal government should consider reforming the mining tax and raising the goods and services tax, and taking on more debt, to help fund infrastructure investment.
Public investment has fallen by 10 per cent since the Building the Education Revolution peaked in 2010. Further, as former Treasury secretary Ken Henry warned earlier this week, infrastructure spending is likely to be one of the casualties of the government's failure to address its shrinking tax base adequately.
With state governments accounting for almost 80 per cent of total general government investment, it is the health of the state governments' finances that matters most. Unfortunately, state finances are being squeezed by the federal government and weakness in their own revenue.
Almost half of state government revenue comes from federal grants, with GST accounting for about half of that. Slow growth in GST revenue and the federal government's determination to achieve a fiscal surplus mean these grants and subsidies are expected to decline sharply as a share of the economy over the next couple of years, and remain down – similar to what occurred during the mid-1990s.
This federal government funding squeeze is occurring at the same time that state government revenues such as payroll tax and stamp duty are also under pressure. Further, the state of international financial markets and the nervousness of ratings agencies mean state governments are reluctant to increase debt.
State governments have little choice but to rein in expenditure, and with rising future costs in areas such as health and education, they have had to scale back investment plans. This reduces activity and demand for jobs in the near term, and the resulting infrastructure bottlenecks limit the medium-term ability of the economy to grow.
This occurred in the early to mid-'90s when the federal budget deficit blew out to about 10 per cent of gross domestic product. In response, federal grants and subsidies paid to state governments fell from about 6 per cent of GDP to just above 5 per cent for about seven years, until the GST was introduced in 2000.
The cuts from 1994 on led to 15 years of underinvestment in the public sector. Such a cycle is emerging again, but perhaps not as severe given that the federal budget deficit is more manageable this time.
Unfortunately, the private sector is unlikely to step in any time soon given the financial system has not yet righted itself after the GFC.
The risk premium is still high. The private sector has also been scared off after previous public-private partnerships resulted in them carrying more of the financial risk than they desired. To entice private sector involvement in future, the various governments probably need to retain more of the financial risk associated with these projects.
Some state governments are pursuing privatisation. This frees up funding for new public sector expenditure while providing the private sector with an investment option that carries less risk than being involved from the planning and construction phase.
The federal government has scope to loosen the fiscal purse strings to support public sector investment.
It could raise the rate of the mining tax and broaden its base, scale back inefficient tax breaks and transfers to high- and middle-income earners, and extend the coverage and increase the rate of the GST.
Much of the extra GST revenue will be used to compensate low- and middle-income households, but it would still boost the share of total revenue that goes directly to state governments. All this could allow more public infrastructure investment that generates jobs and supports medium-term growth. A return of the private sector over time would assist this.
Unfortunately, no such recovery in public sector investment is likely over the next few years as neither side of the political divide is willing to consider these options.
Eventually they will have to.

How do I get Comcast to send Me a new Technicolor Modem. I can do the installation My self and don't need a technician to come to My house. But I want the latest Technicolr Modem.
You could call and ask them to send you one but they charge for the shipping.
You could go to the nearest local office and exchange the modem. But there are no guarantees that you will get the "newest" Technicolor modem. They usually give, or send out, what is on hand. You could even get a older, and different, make of modem. Happened to me in the past
If it is not a phone modem you could purchase your own and eliminate the $7.00 modem rental fee. When I bought mine prices were between $79.99 to $89.99. Pays for itself in a year or so with rental money you save.
If you use a phone modem not all markets allow you to purchase a modem.
This site shows the modems Comcast generally uses.
I purchased a Zoom 5341J last fall and have had no issues with the modem.

iTunes Duplicate Remover (iTunes D.R.)
Full user review
"Very disappointed--it nearly froze my system."
None that I could get to. Maybe if I waited a week for it to finish, it might have done some good, but I did not want to take that time.
It simply crawled along--I stopped it (had to do a hard shut down) after several days of running thru my large iTunes library. I have removed it from my system.
I should have checked out more reviews before I downloaded and paid for this. Buyer beware.

quote:Cracked is fun, you can also find that info in your local library. And again, this has what to do with religion? You're sort of a moron.
quote:I didn't mention tactics, I said "MOTIVATION". Dehumanizing the people you are robbing is not motivation, it's a way of justifying your actions. Still waiting on the religious motive.
quote:If a crazy guy shoots an abortion clinic doctor, and claims he was doing the "Lord's Work", he's punished by the courts of law, and the court of public opinion. He's openly condemned in PUBLIC by 99.9% of the Christian faith because killing in the name of God is wrong, PERIOD. If a 2 crazy Muslims butcher a young soldier, and Father btw, in broad daylight and then praise Allah and do a victory dance, where is the open condemnation from the Muslim community? There's a few saying, "hey that's not us", but where is the action to get control of these frickers? Our own media can't even bring themselves to say "Terrorist" because they're scared they are going to be killed for telling the truth. Where were the peaceful, logical Muslims when Trey Parker and Matt Stone received thousands of death threats for their "image of Muhammad" south park episode? And when American Muslims were throwing bricks and plotting to blow up their studious? Where was the rational Muslim community to defend their right to free speech when Comedy Central made a public apology and refused to ever air that episode again, and then subsequently sued them for making fun of Comedy central's pussy arse cowardice? Where were they? NOT A frickING ONE SPOKE UP. Tolerant and logical people? MY frickING BALLS.
quote:Yeah, there are plenty of Muslims who don't kill people, they aren't all taking the Qaran literally, THANK XENU, but none of them want to do anything to change the behavior of the most radical among them. They wanna feel like equals, they can stop being so fricking sensitive that everyone has walk on eggshells around them to avoid being beheaded. They can start by taking some action when these guys frick up, instead of saying "that's not all Muslims guys, come on" and expecting us to just accept their half hearted apology. Till that happens, I will continue to openly mock the sensitive Muslim community and you, the white man with a guilty conscious.
quote:I'm sure tons up books use the phrase Mother fricking vikings, and I am not saying your wrong, but stealing your rhetoric from a comedy site doesn't make the viking being unable to take over relevant white settlers hundreds of years latter. White settlers where killing Indians throughout the 1800's
quote:There are quotes form preachers of various christian denominations condoning and encouraging the killing of indians.
quote:I think it becomes a lot easier to rob someone when you dehumanize them.
quote:The motivation for land is always there, but most people are willing to kill other humans for it unless they can justify it in some way.
quote:that isn't true not every christian comes out and condemns Radical christianity when it happens, spokespeople for christian groups that get TV time do. It isn't like Islamic groups don't condemn these killings. THey do. You just don't want to hear it.
quote:What do you want them to do? They do talk up, they do condemn it. There are muslims serving in the military to try and stop terrorism.
quote:Type slower so I don't have to read your post 3 times to decipher your butchering of the English language. Seriously, I hate being a grammar Nazi, but damn son.

quote:Exactly! The Muslims claim, "it is only a few extremists." However, their silence is a ringing endorsement of terrorism. Face the facts. Even their 'prophet' was a pedophile. How you you co-exist with them?
quote:It is a fact that throughout history Muslims do not live peacefully with other societies. The ones you think that do are the ones sending money to support these extremeist.
quote:Uhhh, so where are these Non-Western immigrants coming from if they are not Muslims? Alabama?
quote: it's pretty sad to me that you can't learn to live with people you don't agree with simply based on the actions of extremists

Jim Carrey Unveils Cover of New Children's Book
Making WavesHe self-published it, too—wave of the future.
Aug 27, 2013 | 08:34 PM
Months ago, Jim Carrey teased the fact that he was writing a new book for children, which he dubbed "metaphysical." The first copies of his self-published How Roland Rolls have arrived, and Carrey provided a glimpse of the cover.
Roland himself looks mighty happy considering he's a sentient wave coming to terms with his own mortality. "How Roland Rolls is a story about a wave named Roland who's afraid that, one day, when he hits the beach, his life will be over," reads the book's description. Deep stuff. Roland later learns that a singular wave is actually part of a greater oceanic whole, so his fear is abated.
How Roland Rolls is officially out September 24. The entire ocean is waiting.

The Foreign Legion is a collection in two parts, gathering both stories and chronicles, and it offers wonderful evidence of Clarice Lispector's unique sensibility and range as an exponent of experimental prose. The Foreign Legion opens with thirteen stories. Delightful, vivid, sometimes mordantly funny, sometimes sad beyond words, the tales bear out The New York Times comment that "Lispector makes language the medium of both imprisonment and liberation... and she does it with an amazingly light and playful touch." The second part of the book presents her newspaper crônicas, which Lispector said she retrieved from a bottom drawer. She offered them as shards, as suggestions, but they are in fact brilliant essays on Brazilian art and society, evocations of her world, conversations with her children, aphorisms – a rich miscellany. Together the stories and chronicles create a showcase of Lispector's talents to amuse and disturb.

I know there has probably been a thread already but i couldn't find it. what are some tips to getting my 60ft time lower
View Full Version : 60ft time ryankeene 04-12-2012, 12:55 AM I know there has probably been a thread already but i couldn't find it. what are some tips to getting my 60ft time lower BlackScreaminMachine 04-12-2012, 07:56 AM You need to post a average time slip. Launch Technique Burnout Technique BUT even before all that I will say this upfront is that with the average race weight of these cars and the LOPO first gear in the T-56 (2.66) you need to leave hard at a high RPM, which would then mean you need to put in a bias ply slick, good driveshaft, and spend money on a 12bolt/9 inch rear and leave like a man! **Also to note if your not going to add Nitrous, a more optimal rear gear for a 12 bolt is in the 4.30-4.55 range AND/OR Swap in a M12 (Pontiac GTO M6 trans) Some have gotten away with using a 2 step to help with the launch but in the end you need to leave strong. For me I will be adding one to my car and the main point is to help with consistancy but the suspension/tire setup will do the talking. Also to mention overall race weight and weight transfer will factor and those heavy rims are not helping you. Just some pointers, there is tons more of info and help out there and other will post bout this but this should get you started. Also do a search in this forum as there are plenty of post about this. 00 Freak 04-12-2012, 03:40 PM i would also record your take offs. i was using koni's up front cuz it came with the car and recorded a few take offs and i saw the weight transfer getting all screwed up so i swapped them out for stock one and lowered my time by more than a tenth. |

For those of you following the RNC, you already know about all the protests and police brutality. I, however, hadn't heard about the Rage Against the Machine impromptu march nor the resulting arrests. Apparently, fans leaving the concert began a spontaneous march toward the RNC, and in spite of the fact that police told Minnesota Public Radio that everything seemed to be ok as people were dispersing quietly on their own, riot police eventually moved in and began arresting and shooting tear gas.
This incident follows a protest earlier in the week when police cut the power to a Rage concert because the concert apparently began too close to curfew hours. Zach De La Rocha (who can bombtrack me any time he wants!) led happy concert goers in an a capella version of "Bulls on Parade" and "Killing in the Name." And as luck would have it, You Tube provides us with an excellent quality recording of the incident!
Viva La RAGE!

16-Year-Old 'Maker' Joey Hudy On STEM, The State Of The Union And Inspiring Others
By: Erin Ruberry
Sixteen-year-old Joey Hudy (who helped President Obama launch marshmallows at the 2012 White House Science Fair) was invited to sit in First Lady Michelle Obama's box at the 2014 State of the Union address. In this guest post, the 'Maker' and Intel intern writes about his experience at the event and how STEM education makes a difference.
Guest post by Joey Hudy
It was amazing and a great privilege. I had the best time and would love to go again! I didn't know really what to expect of it, but it exceeded all my expectations. President Obama is a wonderful speaker.
STEM got me to the White House by being a MAKER. I feel I can be a good influence for other kids to know they can Make stuff too.
My inspiration is seeing other people using my creations, that makes me want to make more. I have a few products on the market that help kids learn to make.
[What was it like for President Obama to fire his marshmallow shooter?]
I don't know how President Obama felt, but he seemed very excited and looked like he was having fun.
I would like to continue working for Intel. and continuing encouraging kids to Make and to follow their dreams.
Did my first selfie...my hands were shaking thanks @MichelleObama she remembered me! #dontbeboredmakesomething #SOTU pic.twitter.com/CjPp9nRi4B

Scarf Power
WWII-era refugees-turned-textile-designers Zika and Lida Ascher took London by storm in the '40s, creating screen-printed fabrics, Day-Glo mohairs and other mod innovations that remained popular in the world of couture through the early '70s. But perhaps their most famous contribution came in the form of limited-edition scarves they called them "artist squares" based on designs by the likes of Henry Moore, Henri Matisse, Jean Cocteau, Alexander Calder and other great artists of the day.
A collection of the scarves, the ultimate in wearable art, goes on display today at FAC Modern, 121 South Tejon Street in Colorado Springs; the museum will kick off the show, Styling the Modern: Fine Art Meets Fashion, with a glitzy opening celebration featuring live runway shows on the outdoor plaza at 1 and 2 p.m. Styling continues through October 4; go to www.csfineartscenter.org/Modern.html or call 1-719-634-5581 for details.

We have concluded that only by searching back to the original classical methods of making borders and medallions one can achieve these impressive results. For all oval, curved, and odd shaped panels, we offer router templates to use with a standard router. Making difficult installations seem like an easy, time saving task. © 1989 Renaissance Floor In-Lays.Materials and Supplies resources - directory of Materials and Supplies related websites. |

Parmesan Crusted ChickenOMG! This was AMAZING! My husband could not stop raving about it. He told me I have make this same crust and sauce for Mahi. The only things I did different was that I substituted ground almonds for 1/2 of the breadcrumbs and sprinkled and whisked Xantham Gum on the sauce to thicken and lessen the carbs.

Write a ReviewNice addition
By L. from Port Coquitlam, BC on Jan 08, 2008
We've had a beautiful dining room set for a couple of years now, but had the most bland, beige area rug underneath. I always wanted a "real Persian" rug but the cost is just too astronomical. We came across this site and found exactly what we were looking for in a price range far more compatible to our income and family of 6.
We are extremely happy with this purchase and purchasing it through this site.

'Fast Money' Recap: Vulnerable Companies
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 slid 0.65% on Tuesday while the Russell 2000 fell 1.53%.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Dan Nathan, co-founder and editor of riskreversal.com, pointed out how disappointing retail companies' results have been. These companies have a "mulligan" on first-quarter results because of the weather but will have to prove themselves down the stretch.
Steve Grasso, director of institutional sales at Stuart Frankel, argued retailers do not typically have catalysts going into the summer, the slow time of the year. He added that U.S. GDP is unlikely to grow 4% in 2014.
Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, pointed out the 18% slide in shares of Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS). He suggested that Cabela's (CAB) and Callaway Golf (ELY) are both vulnerable, based on negative comments from DKS management about its hunting and golfing categories.
Guy Adami, managing director of stockmonster.com, said Home Depot (HD) traded well on Tuesday after missing on top- and bottom-line estimates. However, he suggested leaving the stock alone until it breaks out over $80, or fades below $75 and moves lower. Colin Gillis, senior technology analyst at BGC Financial, called Microsoft's (MSFT) new Surface 3 tablet a "nice device." He said if the company can sell a reasonable five million units per year, it should boost revenue by roughly 6%. He warned that the June quarter, which is usually quite good, could have some negatives in it due to the closing of its deal with Nokia (NOK) and lower sales. Nathan said shares of Microsoft could fall to the mid-$30s on an earnings miss, but will likely get support from the company's share buyback program. Grasso said it makes sense for Microsoft to release hardware products, which usually have lower margins, because it has such good margins in its cloud and software business. Salesforce.com (CRM) beat on revenue and earnings expectations. Adami pointed out the company's solid booking numbers and margins but did not like that the stock has failed to rally off of the results. He suggested the price action may be a warning sign.Nathan called CRM a well-run company but he was a seller on its rich valuation and lack of significant earnings. Kelly said he is currently not a buyer of CRM or any other cloud stock.

Malibu Wild Wings
By Perry Michael Simon on May 23, 2011
Have you ever dreamed of living under an airplane? No? Me neither, but this woman in Malibu has a different idea of luxury:
She bought a retired 747 in the Mojave Desert for $30,000, had it taken apart and carted to Malibu (partially by helicopter, partially by truck with police escort), and assembled into her dream house. That's 350 tons of scrap metal there. The wings make up the roofs of the main house and the guest house. It's… different, no doubt about it. And expensive. But it's what you can do if you're wealthy and really, really into airplanes.
Source: KABC-TV/Los Angeles
I want to go to there.
I hope she knows Shatner and invites him to her house so he can scream about something being on the wing.
No pic??
Good thing there are no more starving children in the World so that a lady can spend millions on this thing
Does having sex in that house still count as being in the mile-high club?
I sure hope they mounted those wings upside down. If not, and we have some serious Santa Ana's she could theoretically lose the roof of her house.
I would say yes, but only if the home is 1 mile above sea level.

Learn more about Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center.
Patient Information We continuously improve health in our community through teamwork and compassionate care. The staff and physicians at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center's Emergency Department are committed to providing highly skilled emergency care and service to the patients and family members who come to the center. This guide is designed to explain what is happening while you are here and to provide information that will help you obtain follow-up care. Reception, Triage and Registration Your first stop will be the reception desk where you will be greeted by a registered nurse or registrar. The triage nurse is the person who will provide your initial assessment and prioritize your care. You will then go to registration, where you need to provide your identification, personal information, such as your address, phone number, Social Security number, next of kin, guarantor, permission to be treated and whether you have an advance directive such as a living will. The order in which you will receive treatment in the Emergency Department is based on the severity of your condition. Please notify the receptionist if you must leave the waiting room for any reason. If your condition changes while you are in the waiting area, notify the triage nurse immediately. The Treatment Area As soon as space becomes available you will be taken to an exam room, the Emergency Department staff will discuss your condition with you and prescribe a course of treatment that could include your release from the center, admission to the hospital or transfer to another facility for specialty care. Discharge Center from the Emergency Department If you will be leaving the Emergency Department to go home, you will receive instructions for follow-up care, which includes home care instructions and possibly medication prescriptions. Please follow all of your discharge instructions to ensure your full recovery. Feel free to call the Emergency Department at (757) 984-7155 with any questions. If you are being admitted to Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, you will be taken by stretcher to your room. There you will meet your nurse and be oriented to that unit of the hospital. If you need to go to another facility, your transportation options including costs, will be explained to you. You have a choice of which ambulance service you wish to use. Your Bill You will receive two bills for your care - one from Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center's Emergency Department, and another from Williamsburg Emergency Physicians Inc. for your physician care. If you have any questions regarding these bills, you should contact the appropriate billing office. For questions relating to your hospital bill, call Patient Accounting at (757) 984-4500. For the Williamsburg Emergency Physicians, Inc. bill, call (757) 941-6000. If you undergo any X-rays while you are in the Emergency Department, you also will receive a separate bill from the radiologist. The radiology bill will have a contact number on it should you have any questions. The Emergency Department Staff It takes many Emergency Department team members to care for emergency patients. At Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, our registrars, technicians, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants and physicians work together with the latest technology to treat the patients who come here for care. Our team members have undergone extensive, advanced training, which enables them to respond to any emergency quickly. Included on the team are: Technicians with advanced EMS experience. Registered nurses with advanced cardiac life support certifications and pediatric emergency certifications. Advance practice nurse practitioners. Physicians assistants Board-certified physicians specializing in Family or Emergency Medicine. Our team is extremely qualified and committed to treating you. Quality service is our goal. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Emergency Department Manager at (757) 984-7209.
For Family Members & Visitors to the Emergency DepartmentPlease respect staff decisions about whether a patient can have visitors. If visitors are permitted, a maximum of two family members may be with the patient in the treatment area. In the event that a family member must leave the waiting area, the receptionist should be notified. Family members are advised to hold the patient's personal possessions and valuables while the patient is being treated. For your convenience, the following services are available at Williamsburg Regional Medical CenterCafeteria - 1st floor Pineapple Gift Shop - LobbyATM - 1st floorVending machines - Hallway by EDC and near cafeteria Restrooms - Every floor Telephones with TDD machines - Entry level (Monticello Lobby) Baby changing tables - restrooms Questions & Answers If I have a question, who can help me? If you are in the waiting area, the registrar can assist you. If the registrar cannot answer your question, he or she will locate the person who can. If you are in the treatment area, your nurse will assist you. Why was someone who came in after me called first to the treatment area? In the Emergency Department, the order of treatment is based on patient acuity. Those patients who are the sickest are seen first. If you have waited longer than the triage nurse's original estimate, see the registrar for an update. Often it means a very ill patient has since come in and the team is working to save the person's life. What's an advance directive? It is a legal document, such as a living will, that lets you say ahead of time what kind of health care you want or don't want in a medical emergency. I'm here with my sick child. Will I be asked to leave him/her during treatment? No. We encourage you to stay with your child during the entire time he or she is in the Emergency Department If you must leave, please notify the staff immediately that you are arranging to have another adult family member stay with your child. I think I may be pregnant. Is it really necessary to tell the staff that I could be expecting a baby? Yes! Exposure to X-rays may be harmful to your pregnancy, as may certain medications. Always make sure to disclose everything concerning your physical condition to the triage nurse and the Emergency Department staff. Is there someone I can call to help my family deal with this crisis? Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center has both a chaplain and a crisis counselor available to assist patients and their family members. Please notify any member of the Emergency Department team if you would like assistance.

How to start
Trading on the Forex market is not as difficult as it may seem at the first glance. In fact, it includes just simple sale and purchase transactions performed in all stores on a daily basis providing one difference: the main product is represented here by currency. You buy a certain currency and sell another one. In case the exchange rate of a purchased currency has increased, you can obtain profit, proportionate to the rate growth. It's this very profit that millions of traders are hunting for all over the world.
Nevertheless, for a wet-head the Forex market will seem a hardly understandable stream of figures and diagrams. Certainly there are a great number of questions: how to conclude deals, what to pay attention to by performing trade transactions, how to achieve regular profit, etc.
You can get answers to all these questions in case you complete our training courses. The textbook will help you to master the basic principles of operating at the currency market via Internet, to learn about the current trade systems, show how to find your way within the current situation at the exchange market, offer various methods of analysis and market forecasting. Besides the textbook, there is a glossary of terms on our website. It will help you to easily understand and remember unknown specialized terms. We'll be glad if the material prepared by us will come in handy for you.
After completing the training, you'll be able to check if you are ready to get to real work without a slightest risk. Just download our terminal and open a free demo account. In case your trade with virtual assets brings good results, it's high time you register a real account.

How to get profit with Forex? *
History knows a great number of incredible examples of how one can earn money at the Forex market. In particular, it includes an almost textbook case of J.Soros who managed to earn over 950 million USD by the projected GBP/USD exchange rate decrease in 1992.
But great profits are possible not only in case of large investments. The startup capital in the amount of one thousand USD can also allow to obtain good earnings. The main thing is to learn how to manage risks, create an optimal trade strategy and, certainly, stick to its rules.
Nevertheless, at the beginning you can do with quite a small sum of several USD. We'll provide you with a 1:500 leverage allowing to trade funds exceeding your deposit by five hundred times. In this case your profit will also be higher.
And here is the very example of obtaining revenues. 10.08.2010 the EUR/USD exchange rate was 1.3235, the moving average indicator crossed the price chart down providing a sales signal. We sold 10 000 USD, which makes up one tenth of a standard lot.
16.08.2011 the EUR exchange rate dropped up to 1.2819, besides, the moving average indicator provided a buy signal (crossed the price chart up). So we closed a transaction.
We've managed to earn the difference of 416 pips, each point equal to one US dollar (in our example). It makes up the total amount of 416 dollars per week. Besides, in this case you can have just 100 USD on your account for performing these transactions. It's not bad, is it?
* - It is given as an example of earning at the Forex Market and it does not guarantee a permanent profit earning.

Gazillions of Tree Seedlings! HELP!
A previous owner planted a Liquid Amber tree, which as proceeded to seed itself everywhere! Evidently other owners hacked the stems which caused suckering...
HOW DO I GET RID of all these unwanted trees? Can I smother them? Round up doesn't touch em! Gophers don't touch them, and gophers are legion!
We had the main tree taken out and the stump ground. Now the job is to clear the land of it's offspring.
Any suggestions?
I wish I lived near you. I'd take some of those babies off your hands! I have a lot of land and would welcome them. Gorgeous fall colour!!!
I've seen them in the wild in Louisiana, Tennessee and throughout North Carolina and other Southern states, and you are right! They really grow thickly and multiply rapidly. I've seen where the highway department and utility people have cut them to the ground and sprayed and they just come right back with a vengeance.
Good luck!
Concentrated glyphosate (the main ingredient in most RoundUp formulations) can certainly be one solution. If you want to get rid of one of these trees, simply cut it just above ground level and apply glyphosate to the freshly exposed phloem layer. Failure of this method would be due to either poor timing (might not work well in early spring during sap rise, for instance), using an inappropriate mixture (using the premixed stuff, designed for easy-to-kill tender green grass, probably won't work), or less than complete coverage (applying chemical to one small sucker of a massive tree is a waste of time).
In the lawn, it's probably easiest just to mow the suckers/seedling down. They may sprout back up a few times, but won't stay around for long.
In flower beds, it may be easiest to weed them out along with other weeds. If there's a ton of seedlings, elimination (if possible) of nearby seed-sources may be worth considering.
RU will kill them.. when done properly ...
get a pair of good pruning shears..
get the very expensive applicator at the link ...
and get full strength 41% round up or generic ...
snip off a sprout.. apply ONE SINGLE DROP .. move on.. repeat ad nauseum ...
you are correct.. spraying leaves with per-diluted WEAK RU will usually not kill a tree ..
go hunting about every 4 to 6 weeks.. and redo the job.. until the plant understands you want it dead..
do also understand .... they sucker from the roots of larger trees.. and killing a large root mass will take more patience ...
since you did not 'mix' the RU ... return it to its properly labeled container.. and store for next use ... and rinse out the applicator .... BTW.. it is labeled as a tree and stump killer at this rate of application ... aka a 'labeled use' ....
round up becomes inert on contact with the soil.. but i dont even know how you will do that.. with the expensive applicator ..
good luck
Here is a link that might be useful: think dollar store.. precise application is the key.. not the brand name
've had to do that to try to rid my property of the Paper Mulberry trees that were here when I bought the place. Still, they keep popping up many yards from where I found the last one
Paper Mulberries are the MOST invasive and fastest growing tree I have ever seen, personally! They send out orange coloured roots that seek out all other trees and shrubs. These orange roots wrap around and around a tree and literally choked them to death. I even found them wrapped around and around my fish pond when I dug it to replace the liner. The roots can grow as far as they need to grow to find a new place to pop up. They pull out easily, but you have to spray them and keep after them to get rid of each one. One tiny threadlike piece of that orange root is enough to keep the process going again.
I have seen them pop up over 100 feet from another tree. Even very tiny ones will send out roots seeking the next victim. Some sent roots from my property, down the road-front bank and then under the county road out front and began growing new trees on the other side - over a hundred feet away. Un-Freaking-REAL!
Killing the parent tree was not the solution - the roots are still under the ground and they will quickly just change directions and go elsewhere..And they grow tall fast! At least these invasive trees don't make seeds - not that I've ever seen anyway.
I've been trying to eradicate these Paper Mulberries for over 18 years! In the past few weeks, I've found a dozen or so new small trees that grew in the shrubs last year, hiding from view until everything went dormant for winter.
Drought is no deterrent for them. They are not seeking a water source - they are after the other trees!
I have very little hope left of ever completely eradicating them from my property, but I have to keep after them else they will choke out and kill all the other shrubs and trees. They already have. It killed my big Corkscrew Willow and a large male fruiting mulberry that shaded my Koi pond and Japanese garden. It was a huge old tree, and the paper mulberry killed it in two years.
Good luck with your tree problem. Just stay after it.
Sweetannie4u, wow! I feel your pain. Not sure if this tip will work, but I'm fixin to try it! Since these volunteer trees are all part of a network of shoots coming from a living root system, we must kill the roots, right!
So, I have in my acreage an equally invasive vine that will climb and choke any fruit tree in it's path! YIKES!
I posted in the weed forum, and I'm wondering if option 3 would work for these invasive tree shoots.
Mix up a weak solution of round-up, stick it in jars, bend the tree leaves to enjoy the jar juice. The leaves will live long enough to kill a large prorportion of the roots. It's a slow death, but a joyous one for those of us stuck with this horrible problem. I'm not sure how to bend a tree shoot into a jelly jar full of poison water, but I'll figure it out!
Sweetannie wrote: "Killing the parent tree was not the solution - the roots are still under the ground and they will quickly just change directions and go elsewhere."
If you really kill the tree, as opposed to just making it's leaves fall off with some non-lethal solution, the roots will also be dead and will not do anything but rot.
"It was a huge old tree, and the paper mulberry killed it in two years."
I can't think of a way that would have happened. Your huge old tree probably fell victim to something else or a combination of factors (possibly including the paper mulberries).
Desertdance wrote: "Mix up a weak solution of round-up..."
Their are two things you might want to change in that plan. First, why would you use a "weak" solution of RoundUp? The weaker the solution, the less likely it is to work. As Ken wrote, the full-strength 41% (or something like that) stuff would work best.
The second thing that you might consider is (if we are still taking about a tree) cutting the tree completely down and applying the herbicide to the stump. If you are talking about a vine, and especially if it's where you may not be able to get down at its base, the jar method will work well.
"Our tree got slayed and the stump ground..."
I see. Well, the company that cut your tree down didn't do it correctly. If they had applied the proper herbicide when they cut the tree and then came back a little later to take care of the stump, you wouldn't have the problem. All you can do at this point is target ever sucker as it appears. It may take a little time, but you can definitely win the battle if you stay at it. Buy one of Ken's famous applicators and make the hunt for suckers into a game. (Sometimes I wonder if Ken owns stock in that mustard company.)
"Why slow, weak? Because it can't figure out what's happening! It drinks deeply into it's roots, and then comes the grim reaper."
LOL, that's funny. But it doesn't work that way in real-life. Using the weaker concentration actually may give the tree the final laugh.
The parent tree was cut flat to the ground two years ago. RoundUp was applied full strength on the top - so yes, it died. It's completely gone, as are all the other adult trees.
The new neighbor bulldozed the ones across the road last year.
They don't have a central tap root and are shallow rooted. When I pull on the small trees (3-5 ft. tall), they easily come right out of the ground, but break off from the yellow runner roots. From the roots left in the ground, more saplings are produces, continuing to spread elsewhere and make new trees. They pop up everywhere, but only under another tree, bush or shrub.
When dug out, I find those yellow roots entangled around and in with the poor plant's roots. I've been here for 18 years and battled them continuously. One little tree that may be growing in a bush, hidden, that I didn't spot, will start sending out those damnable roots and another invasion will begin.
The new trees do not produce leaves until the trunks are several feet tall, and they don't look like trees at all. So they are impossilble to see growing under a shrub. As they grow, they strangle out and simply replace the host plant. They are all linked under ground by a massive system of roots.
They create beautiful canopied shade trees, though, which is why they originally were brought to N. America from East Asia.
In Asia, they were/are used to make beautiful Rice Paper and Rice Paper products, like screens, lanterns, etc., and for making writing paper, scroll paper, and watercolor paper for artists. The process for making the rice paper is fairly easy to do, but detailed, and VERY smelly. Very interesting process with beautiful results.

Network acceleration with TCP Fast Open
Getting There Faster
With TCP Fast Open, Google introduces a protocol extension, implemented in the Linux kernel, that avoids unnecessary latency in network traffic and promises up to 41 percent acceleration, depending on the application.
In mid-2011, Google's "Make the web faster" team, which is led by Sivasankar Radhakrishnan, Arvind Jain, Yuchung Cheng, and Jerry Chu, presented a draft for reducing preventable latency. The technique, which is called TCP Fast Open (TFO), depends on streamlining the process of opening a TCP session.
The idea itself is not new – way back in 1994, RFC1379 and RFC1644 specified the conceptually similar Transactional TCP (T/ TCP). Unfortunately, an analysis published in September 1996 revealed serious security issues with T/TCP [5], and the technique failed to establish itself on a broader front. Based on this previous experience, the Google team refined the approach when developing TFO, leading to an improved result. Linux kernel 3.6 implements the necessary client-side infrastructure, and 3.7 will include support for TFO on the server end, so it looks like the era of faster TCP connections might be just around the corner.

Is atheism predicated partially on the belief in evolution and the current prevailing views of science.
If so, then such a belief is subject to drastic changes as discoveries and theories
have recently arose that shatter the paradigm that is the foundation of such a belief:
Discoveries keep pushing back the inception of civilization, indefinitely back in time
Evidence of coastal civilizations existing during the ice age are arising in now inundated coastal region due to rising seas.
The concept of a missing link is no longer postulated as a bush of hominids lineages walked the earth. With what was once considered ancestors, actually being contemporary with postulated descendants. A bush of hominids actually existed as recently as 30,0000 B.C.E.
Though theories of evolution abound no working scientific model exists for the emergence of life.
Our very existence is interwoven with the anthropic principle. As such this has required scientist to postulate the multiverse to explain how the anthropic principle is mindlessly satisfied by nature. However this just substitutes one unfalsifiable believe for another.
In truth, Darwin's world has been shattered and the truth has become intractable. Even as we cope with dark matter and energy. Terms that falsely connote that we have defined them, when in fact they are no more apparent than God. As such new scientific theories continue to emerge based on the inadequacy of the standard model. This will continue into infinitum since, as God there is no means to detect these alleged entities with scientific instrumentation.
people have been NOT believing in god/gods/dieties for THOUSANDS of years before yours showed up and even MORE thousands of years before mr. darwin had his first thought on earth... not sure why this is needing to be explained to you, whatever you wrote after your first thought is useless to discuss.....
To the contrary, prior to Darwin, even during the age of enlightenment, the belief in God ruled. But a lot of this was under duress due to the fear of the Inquisition.
I certainly hope there is not a dreamy hankering back to the bad, good old days. '..fear of the Inquisition.'
I am very happy that theists have lost much of their bite. Keeping theists clowns out of politics, for the most part, continues to be a very good idea. Talk about a cultural decay and moral outrage, theists would offer nothing new to the list, but only more of the same. I still believe that we live in a culture where cultural diversity and the market of ideas still thrives. A theist monoculture would be a blight.
It is good the RCC lost it's temporal powers, too late for Galileo. Unfortunately the prophecies predict dire things in the future with the EU and Russia imposing it's orthodoxy in the future. The Schism of the 13th Century will be healed, just as Rome and Constantinople blow life until the Emperial Roman Beast. "Who is like the Beast and who can make war with it". Her Blasphemies and violence, will usher in days of vengeance spoken about by the prophets. Babylon the mysterious mother of abominations. RC is Mithraism, and the Babylonian Mysteries Cult redressed with the Egyptian standing image planted squarely in the court of Vatican City.
Are you expecting me or the rest of us, to 'unpack' this?
I am going to have a real 'life' before any of this will fill my days!
Take care!
And there we go with the prophecies again, just like last time - rave on, Michael --
Not to worry, Noah was mocked to scorn also.
Since there was never an historical Noah (must be one of those biblical fables you've been deriding), you must mean Zuisudra, who, as I mentioned earlier, actually WAS involved in a Euphrates River flood, was never mocked (at least to his face), and doubtless considered himself damned lucky that trading barge was in port, so he could haul his royal ass out of there and let the little people worry about treading water.
Don't you mean there's NO EVIDENCE of an historical Noah?
How do we know that there ever was a given historical person? By the evidence. Ergo, in order for there to BE an historical Noah, that evidence for an historical Noah exists, goes without saying, so I didn't say it.
As for Zuisudra, he is listed on eight of the ten still intact, stone Mesopotamian Kings Lists, in the native language of the reagion, and on a ninth in Greek. I would consider that to be evidence, but saying that there was an historical Zuisudra, already implies that evidence is available. Some prefer to conserve words when possible, rather than splurge with them, on the assumption that they have a surplus remaining (or that they fear they're nearing the end of their supply and prefer not to retain a remainder), like some I know.
Will we finally know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried or what happened to Judge Crater?
"Judge Crater?" Wow - you DO go back a ways, don't you? I felt badly the other day when I heard a little boy ask, "Who's John Wayne?" but "Judge Crater"?

California Modifies Its Solar Rights Act
California Governor Arnold Swarzenegger signed a strengthened Solar Rights Act, which passed the California Legislature in September, to minimize restrictions that towns and local zoning agencies can place on solar installations. The act limits building officials' review of solar installations to health and safety requirements. It also sets a monetary limit of $2,000 that local governments can require homeowners or solar developers to spend on aesthetic improvements to solar installations.

Download original files | Bookmark/share this page |
In the matter between:
FENCECOR KONSTRUCSIE CC …............................................Applicant
MOSES KOTANE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY …........................Respondent
DATE OF HEARING : 02 February 2012
DATE OF JUDGMENT : 01 March 2012
FOR THE PLAINTIFF : Advocate Hitge
FOR THE DEFENDANT : Advocate Maree
[1] This is an application for exception in terms of Rule 23 (1) of the Uniform Rules of Court. The application arises as a result of the exception raised by the defendant to the plaintiff's amended particulars of claim. In this judgment the parties are referred to as in the main action.
[2] The defendant filed an exception to the plaintiff's particulars of claim on the ground that the said pleading did not disclose a course of action.
[3] This application constitutes a second application by the defendant in that defendant had already on the 27th October 2010 filed an exception (first exception) to the same particulars of claim. The first exception was heard on the 31st March 2011 and was dismissed by this court with costs. This second exception, which is the subject matter before this court was subsequently filed on the 24th May 2011.
[4] At the hearing of the second exception the plaintiff raised a point in limine that the present exception is not provided for in the Rules of court, and cannot be entertained by this court. The parties then agreed that the issue as raised by the plaintiff should be decided first by this court before the merits of the exception can be proceeded with.
[5] Mr Maree on behalf of the plaintiff submitted that the grounds on which the exception is based overlaps with that of the first exception. According to him there is no provision in the rules or in practice in terms of which a party is entitled or allowed to file a second exception based on the same ground against the same pleading after the first exception has been dismissed.
[6] Mr Maree did not have any authority to refer the court to, but insisted that the ground upon which the defendant relies in this second exception, that the pleadings do not disclose a cause of action, had already been decided upon during the first exception. Furthermore that although the defendant alleges that they are bringing the second exception on the same ground but on different reasons, this cannot be allowed as those reasons ought to have been dealt with by the defendant in the first exception. He persisted with this submission that according to Rule 23 only two grounds can be raised in an exception, namely:-
- that the pleading are vague and embarrassing or
- that they do not disclose a cause of action
According to him, this court had already ruled against the ground that the pleadings do not disclose a cause of action. The ruling of the court came after the court had looked into the contents of the same pleadings that are the subject matter of the second exception. The court cannot under these circumstances entertain the second exception but to dismiss it.
[7] Mr Hitge on behalf of the defendant on the other hand submitted that it is a matter of common sense that when a defendant has other reasons than those canvassed in the first application, nothing in our law prevents him for bringing another application based on the same ground. He maintained that it is also in the interest of the court that this should be done as the other reasons raised in the exception can dispose off the matter.
[8] Mr Hitge also, like Mr Maree, did not have any authority to support these submissions. In an answer as to why the new reasons could not be dealt with in the first exception, he indicated that the previous legal representative of the defendant omitted to include them. The defendant was not happy with that, hence the current legal representative was sought.
[9] I may also point out that I was unable to get any case law or authority that deals directly with the issue that is before me.
[10] However, I found the principles as laid down in the cases that I had quoted in the paragraphs that follows apposite in this matter.
[11] Firstly, in the matter of Bafokeng Tribe V Impala Platinum Ltd and Others 1999 (3) SA 517 (BHL) Friedman J said the following:-
"A court must have regard to the object of the exceptio res judicata that it was introduced with the endeavour of putting a limit to needless litigation and in order to prevent the recapitulation of the same thing in dispute in diverse actions, with the concomitant deleterious effect of conflicting and contradictory decisions.
This principle must be carefully delineated and demarcated in order to prevent hardship and actual injustice to parties.
The doctrine of issue estoppels has the following requirements: (a) where a court in a final judgment on a cause has determined an issue involved in the cause of action in a certain way, (b) if the same issue is again involved, and the right to reclaim depends on that issue, the determination in (a) may be advanced as an estoppels in a later action between the same parties, even if the later action is founded on a dissimilar cause of action.
Issue estoppel is a rule of res judicata but is distinguished from the Roman-Dutch Law exception in that in issue estoppels the requirement that the same subject-matter or thing must be claimed in the subsequent action is not required. Issue estoppels has a two fold requirement.
Issue estoppels has been applied in our law in decision of Provincial and Local Divisions. However, in the Kommissaris case supra the Court accepted that the expression 'issue estoppel' had been in use in our law for a long time, and is a useful description of these cases which do not strictly conform to the threefold requirements of res judicata, because the same relief is not claimed on the same cause of action, but notwithstanding that the defence may be successful.
Issue estoppels is also founded on public policy to avoid a multiplicity of actions in order 'inter alia to conserve the resources of the courts and litigants'. There is a tension between a multiplicity of actions and the palpable realities of injustice. It must be determined on a case by case foundation without rigidity and the overriding or paramount consideration being overall fairness and equity."
[12] Secondly, in the matter of Consol Ltd t/a Consol Glass v Twee Jonge Gezellen (Pty) Ltd and Another (2) 2005 (6) SA 23 (C) , the following was said:
"The gist of the defence of res judicata is that the matter or question which is being raised by an adversary has previously been finally adjudicated upon in proceedings between the same parties, and cannot be raised again. A matter is res judicata when the prior judgment was given (1) with respect to the same subject matter, (2) based on the same ground, and (3) between the same parties.
In determining whether the prior judgment was based on 'the same ground', regard must be had not only to the express judicial declaration in the earlier proceedings, but also to point that should have been raised but were omitted in the earlier proceedings. Where a matter becomes subject to litigation in, and of adjudication by, a Court of competent jurisdiction, the Court requires the parties to bring forward their whole case, and will not (except under special circumstances) permit the same parties to open the same subject of litigation in respect of matter which might have been brought forward as part of the subject in contest, but which was not. The plea of res judicata applies, except in special cases, not only to points upon which the Court was actually required by the parties to form an opinion and pronounce a judgment, but to every point which properly belonged to the subject of litigation and which the parties, exercising reasonable diligence, might have brought forward at the time. (Paragraphs [47], [50] and [52] at 45D-F, 46G/H-47B and 47E-F) H.
[13] In Janse Van Rensburg and Others NNO v Myburgh & Others 2010 (1) SA 649 (SCA) in paragraph 27 Heher JA said the following:-
"The scope of the 'once and for all' rule was said in the National B Sorghum case at 241D-E to require that all claims generated by the same cause of action be instituted in one action. As I have already found that the respective sections do not create the same cause of action, even in the extended sense, it is difficult to justify the applicability of the rule to the facts of these appeals. Murphy J* was, however, persuaded by a dictum from Henderson v Henderson [1843] EngR 917; (1843) 3 Hare 100 ([1843-1860] All ER Rep 378) at 114-115 (at 381-382 All ER) (and the full court in case No 18109/2005 agreed with him), as follows:-
'In trying this question I believe I state the rule of the court correctly when I say that, where a given matter becomes the subject of litigation in, and of adjudication by, a court of competent jurisdiction, the court requires the parties to that litigation to bring forward their whole case, and will not (except under special circumstances) permit the same parties to open the same subject of litigation in respect of matter which might have been brought forward as part of the subject in contest, but which was not brought forward, only because they have, from negligence, inadvertence, or even accident, omitted part of their case. The plea or res judicata applies, except in special cases, not only to points upon which the court was actually required by the parties to form an opinion and pronounce a judgment, but to every point which properly belonged to the subject of litigation, and which the parties, exercising reasonable diligence, might have brought forward at that time'
[14] From all of the above quoted cases the general principle seems to be that the defence will apply where points which ought to have been raised in the initial application are now raised in the second application.
[15] I agree with Mr Maree that this court had fully disposed of the substance of the issue of the exception that the defendant had brought in the first instance. The said issue of substance being the ground upon which the first exception was based namely:- "the pleadings do not disclose a course of action". This court did so, having based its decision on the face of the same pleadings that are the subject matter of the second application. To entertain the second exception will in my view amount to recapitulation of the same thing in dispute in diverse action, which is not desirous. As seen from the quoted authorities above, the court requires the parties to litigation to bring forward their whole case, and will not, except in special circumstances permit the same parties to open the same subject of litigation in respect of matters which have been brought forward as part of the subject in contest, but which was not brought forward, only because they have from negligence, inadvertence, or even accidentally omitted part of their case. I am of the view that the reason raised by Mr Hitge as to why the reasons as raised in the current application could not be dealt with in the first application does not amount to exceptional circumstances that will entitle this court to depart from the general principle as laid down in the authorities quoted above,
[16] In coming to the conclusion that will become apparent later in this judgment, the following issues could not be overlooked and was also taken into consideration by this court.
The defendant filed his second exception way out of the time which is normally allowed in this kind of interlocutory applications in terms of the Uniform Rules of Court. Even on consideration of this reason alone, the hearing of the defendant's second exception cannot succeed.
[17] Consequently, I am of the view that it will not be in the interest of justice that the defendant be allowed to open the same subject matter based on the same ground by way of a second application of an exception, albeit on different reasons.
[18] Consequently the second exception application by the defendant is dismissed with costs.
