pH of compost too alkaline
Hi...just found this website and am loving it. I have a farm with horses and am a florist so grow predominantly perineiis (sp). I have spent the past 5+ years adding truckloads of leaf mulch and composted horse manure to my flower beds. I have done a series of pH tests and realized that the compost and leaf mulch are making my beds too alkaline. I would like them to be around 6-6.5 but they are now more like 7-8. This is way too high for growing peonies and dahlias (not to mention my blueberry bushes); so guess I need to amend soil with sulfer or aluminum sulfate? There is snow on the ground now so wondered if I could put some sulfer around the drip line of my plants. since my beds are already planted (not dahlias...they are out for the winter) Suggestions on the best way to amend the soil? Can't wait to hear back. So excited!
Many people find that when a soil has adequate levels of organic matter it does have a pH in the 7.0 range. Mine went from 5.7 pH to 7.2 pH in about 4 years without any lime added. I have not seen any real problem due to that soil pH and all of the plants, annuals, biennials, and perennials grow and blossom quite well with very few insect pest or plant disease problems.
Where Blueberries, and other plants such as Rhododendrons and Azaleas, are to grow adjustments may well need to be made, although the Rhodies and Azaleas seem to do quite well in a soil well amended with organic matter with a higher pH.
If you do opt to add sulfur to lower the soil pH be sure to add enough to do what needs to be done and not just a bit sprinkled here and there. A good, reliable soil test is in order here.
Thank you for sharing. My dahlias do wonderfully, peonies are smaller than I think they should be. Blueberries seem to be fine so was surprised with the results of the pH test. A neighbor has pH around 7 and grows great stuff. Will continue to add compost and will keep monitoring..should I check to see if lacking certain nutrients?
Agricultural sulfur will lower soil pH reliably, but it requires 2 or 3 months to take effect, and it can take 24 months for an application of sulfur to be completely broken down and metabolized by the bacteria that convert this material to acid. Sulfur is not toxic when used correctly, and the gradual lowering of soil pH may be advantageous, since it likely stresses the plants less than an immediate drop in pH. I use indicator dye, bromocresol green, to check soil pH around our blueberry shrubs. In the past I have used a glass bulb pH meter, successfully. Both methods work, but the indicator dye is less expensive.
would I be better off using aluminum sulfate in stead of agricultural sulfer? I understand it is faster but can burn plants if not used properly.
Meanwhile, would adding pine bedding to manure help or does that go to neutral once composed.
So much to learn....sigh
Metal probe "pH testers" are not generally considered to be accurate enough to be used in any lab setting, that I am aware of. They might work OK in certain soils with certain moisture levels. Aluminum sulfate has been used with success to lower soil pH, however, aluminum is known to be toxic to fish and also to some bacteria found in the soil. Agricultural sulfur will also lower soil pH, and since it requires several months to take effect, it might be less of a shock to the plants. If you are growing blueberries with success, your soil must have pH values down around 4.5 to 6. I would not expect either compost or leaf mulch to raise soil pH dramatically, unless there was lime added in. If you have hard water, and you are watering the flower beds during the summer months, the limestone dissolved in the water will raise soil pH over time. We have hard water here in Madison, Wisconsin, supplied by the city. It comes from wells that are drilled into limestone aquifers below ground, and it has pH around 7.6. Since you have access to compost, manure, leaf mulch, and pine bedding, you might not have to get a soil test done. All of these amendments will improve the soil by adding nutrients that plants can use. If you can find out the pH of your irrigation water, that would be helpful.
Don't use the probe since had no luck with that. Treated myself to the LaMotte soil kit for Christmas..readings are in the 7-8 levels for my compost...amended beds are around 7ph.
My understanding is that peonies and dahlias are happy around 6-6.5pH.. If I can get away without adding anything to my soil I would be thrilled. Concerned about the peonies tho. They are not happy. maybe its something else that is bothering them..will have to pop over to the Peony section...
Have well water which I do use for irrigation. Good idea to have tested. Never thought of that one.
Don't throw lime into manure piles. Keep that separate...
Thanks for your help!
Just because they prefer 6.5 does not mean they will be sick at 7 or even 7.5. Plants have a range they will grow in.
I've had peonies that did great in pH 7+ soil. Eventually they got shaded out by trees. They do need sun. And we get some kind of blight around here in the hot humid summer weather. Leaves get brown spots and eventually die off.
While most all plants will do most bestest growing in a soil with a pH in the 6.2 to 6.8 range and this range is where most all soil nutrients are most readily available, plants can grow quite well in soils with a higher or lower soil pH, especially if the amount of organic matter in that soil is adequate.
I would not be very concerned about a soil pH of 7.4 and not at all concerned if the pH of my compost was 7.4, as tested by a very accurate pH meter and not a cheap model.
I have re-read this string of comments, and I also checked out the LaMotte soil test kit, by visiting their website. If you used tap water to prepare your soil sample, it is quite possible that your tap water has pH between 7 and 8. In other words, the pH of the water used changed the pH of the soil, so the resulting reading was close to that of the water used. In the past I have used commercial steam distilled water for soil pH tests, but I found that this source actually had pH = 7.1, so I began using reverse-osmosis water from a vending machine in our local food co-op, here in Madison. If your well water has some dissolved limestone, then it is providing you with both calcium and magnesium, and therefore it is likely good for your health. So I am not saying that you have bad water, however, it may be throwing off your soil pH test results.
We have high clay soil here in Madison, Wisconsin. It might be possible to add too much compost, and get the level of organic material too high. However, I have never been able to accomplish this, in our garden plot. After 20 years of adding compost every spring, and tilling it in, the soil is much easier to work than in used to be. At least, the top 10 inches. But the compost does decompose and disappear over time, so the actual percentage of organic material will rise a bit, and then level off. I suspect that our garden soil is a bit low in nitrogen, because we have no source of manure, but that is a separate problem.
Everything I have seen over the years tells me that the pH of finished compost is around 7.0, near neutral. The pH will also vary depending on the stage of digestion and the amount of water in the mix. Unless on adds a caustic (wood ash or lime) or an acid.
The pH of the compost I make is near neutral even though the mix is mostly Oak leaves and has never had wood ash, gypsum, lime, etc. added.

Wow. It's certainly been a crazy 6 months.
As we've been building our streaming games technology we have had about 30-40 titles working across a very wide range of genres. (We've been testing everything!)
It's been a TON of work and so to speed up the process of onboarding games in September 2010 we kicked off a new server design. "The Raku Server"
We demonstrated this amazing new custom hardware at CES and let people play (streamed) Battlefield Bad Company II in stereoscopic 3D. We also showed set top boxes running Gaikai, we even had a Google TV demo etc.
At the Game Developers Conference in our meetings we will show some really high-end, high-performance games running at 60hz with no work needing to be done by the publishers / developers. We are really excited to have finally solved this incredible technical challenge.
Our main focus however is our Advertising strategy, where we can put any game anywhere on the web. Our objective has been to empower publishers and retailers to give gamers what they keep asking for... "Let me try the game!".
Our data used to show around 95% of gamers believe trying a game before buying it is "Important" or "Very Important". A recent survey we ran had them at 100%. So I think the message to publishers and retailers is clear... They love screenshots, they love trailers, but they love trying the game a lot more!
So that's what we do, we let people try games, and I'd love to get to the point where we make it so easy that you can try "every" game without lots of friction and pain, downloading, installing, patching etc.
So our thinking is somewhat like YouTube, as instead of just building a portal to go and watch videos, they decided to focus on putting videos everywhere on the web. We are doing the same with games, so when you read a review on a game, you can try playing it right there on the same page as the review.
Nobody else in the world has achieved this kind of streaming performance directly into browsers, it's technically the most advanced interactive advertising unit in existence, and I'm incredibly proud of my team's accomplishments.
Our Network is now the fastest interactive proximity network in the world. We have it live and working in 12 countries across 24 data centers. Limelight Networks has been a massive supporter and have helped us scale very efficiently.
Why does that matter? Well there's a lot of talk about Latency with streamed games and it comes from two places, the speed you can compress/decompress video and the time it takes to transmit the data to a user and get the control inputs back. If our engineers work really hard, they can maybe squeeze out another thousandth of a second from our compression but if we set up in a data center two states closer to your house, we dramatically improve the performance. Our goal is to end up with data centers in every major city in the world peered directly to the key internet service providers in that area. It's a never-ending job to keep improving latency and we have assembled a fantastic operations team to achieve that.
The "Long Tail is a concept that there are blockbusters and there are countless other niche products that people will buy. I've always been a major advocate for the idea, however when you're burning incredibly powerful/expensive servers it doesn't make financial sense to be streaming a very niche game. This means that we need to focus on titles that people are really excited about, super-highly anticipated, that are popular and that people want to purchase. Electronic Arts not only has some of the biggest franchises in history (like The Sims), but also has the Game of the Year - Mass Effect 2 and other amazing titles like FIFA 2011, Dead Space 2, Battlefield, Bulletstorm etc.
EA signed with Gaikai in 2010 and we've been working away with them as we discover how to reduce the friction when playing products. We've been keeping quiet, (my blog has been silent) but we've secretly been up and running for months, quietly, testing, collecting analytics, improving things etc.
How to improve your streaming games experience?
Step 1:
Make sure you have an open internet connection. (Not VPN, Proxy etc.)
Note: Wired will probably offer more bandwidth than Wifi.
Step 2:
Make sure you have the latest Flash & Java:
You can try Mass Effect 2 if you just visit: http://www.gaikai.com/ (Just wait and if your connection quality to our Server is fast enough, one of several pop-up designs will appear.)
You can play the Dead Space 2 demo free here (after a short survey).
You can play the Spore demo free here.
You can already play Sims 3 on Gaikai here.
You can already try Second Life without registration here (Just wait and if your connection quality to our Server is fast enough, a pop-up will appear.)
Our next phase is to start embedding Gaikai into gaming websites, so visitors can try the latest games. We already have run millions of connection tests, but the more the better.
Anyway, if there's any game you'd like to try for free, just tell us, or better still, go tell the publisher to get it up and running on their website, powered by Gaikai.
We are all gamers, and we wish we could try a lot more of the games that come out every day, and finally this is going to become possible.
Thanks for your support.
David Perry
CEO Gaikai Inc.
Posted by: BunnyHop at March 4, 2011 4:35 AM
So the real question is will Gaikai be able to sell the full game through this service in the future? I mean you could essentially get a thin lowspec notebook and play graphically intense games on it. This would open up a huge brand new market to people who didn't want to pay for expensive pc's or anyone in general.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Not a guest in one of the hotel's tree-house suites? Then make a reservation far in advance and arrive early to soak up the beauty of the surrounding eco-reserve. Sip pre-dinner drinks, and then settle in at the boma near the freshwater pool to enjoy the sunset over the lagoon. The dinner menu changes daily to accommodate the best seasonal and organic ingredients, but it always dazzles; past dishes have included cured crocodile meat in papaya-and-tamarind sauce and peppered loin of kudu (antelope) with butternut and rosemary risotto. After the cheese course and dessert, coffee is often served around a dazzling bonfire.

How to Make a Balance Sheet for Accounting
Five Methods:Basic Accounting EquationPreparing the Header for Balance SheetCalculating Total AssetsCalculating Total LiabilitiesCalculating Owner's Equity
The balance sheet is one of the main financial statements of a business. It shows a company's assets, liabilities, and owner's equity. By creating a balance sheet for accounting, you will get an idea how strong the financial position of your business is.
Method 1 of 5: Basic Accounting Equation
Method 2 of 5: Preparing the Header for Balance Sheet
Method 3 of 5: Calculating Total Assets
1List all current assets. Current assets are assets that will turn into cash within 1 year of an operating cycle. They are listed in order of how they are easily converted into cash or liquidity, cash being the most liquid.
- Cash
- Marketable securities (stocks, bonds, etc.)
- Accounts receivable
- Supplies
- Inventory
- Prepaid expenses (prepaid insurance, prepaid rent, etc.)
2Figure out the value of long-term assets. These are sometimes called fixed assets.
- Long-term assets are a company's value of property, plant, and equipment that can be used for more than 1 year, minus depreciation.
3Specify any intangible assets. This refers to non-monetary assets that have no physical substance and will last more than 1 year. These include patents, copyrights, trademarks, and rights.
- Although goodwill is an intangible asset, it is listed on its own and separate from the list of intangible assets.
4Add the current assets, long-term assets, intangible and other assets. The balance for total assets will be shown on the first part of your balance sheet.
Method 4 of 5: Calculating Total Liabilities
1List all current liabilities. These liabilities need to be paid within 1 year of an operating cycle. Current liabilities are listed as follows:
- Accounts payable
- Short-term notes payable
- Taxes payable
- Wages payable
- Unearned revenues
2List all long-term liabilities. These are your debts of a business that are due after 1 year from the date of an operating cycle. Examples of long-term liabilities are:
- Long-term notes and mortgages
- Bonds payable
- Pension plan obligations
3Add the current liabilities and long-term liabilities. The balance for total liabilities will be shown on the second part of your balance sheet and will be added to the owner's equity.
Method 5 of 5: Calculating Owner's Equity
1State the owner's (or partner's) equity. This is the value of the company's capital. You can get this figure by preparing a Statement of Retained Earnings, which reconciles the beginning and ending balance of retained earnings for a period or operating cycle. Follow these steps:
- State the ending balance of retained earnings from the previous period.
- Add the net income from your Income Statement.
- Deduct dividends paid to investors.
- Get the final total for retained earnings.
We could really use your help!

- Look at a sample worksheet to see the format used for preparing a balance sheet. You can find one at http://business-accounting-guides.com/sample-balance-sheet/.
- If you're using an accounting software, it can create a balance sheet for you as long as you enter all your transactions such as general ledger postings and journal entries.

text: I just got hit in my 01 Formula m6 a couple of nights ago and it's totaled. I was hit right behind the passenger door and it snapped my axle and crumpled my frame. Sucks b/c the motor is strong with only 101k on it. Luckily I still haven't installed the headers, ory, and catback that I ordered a few weeks ago. I'm getting about 9k back from insurance and I think I'm also buying the totaled car back for a part out (I can get it for about $800 and everything besides the damage mentioned above is flawless). Not to mention the fact that I love that car. It is going to be missed, but I must move on. I'm hoping to get a replacement with under 100k miles, m6 (factory hurst or better hopefully), and in good condition. No busted rides please. I'm not really picky. I would prefer a 2001-2002 fbody, but I would consider a c5 vette or GTO. I want to stay under 10k if possible. I'm located in SC and would drive to neighboring states if need be, but don't hesitate to post if you're located farther away. Thanks all. Hopefully the community can get me back in a LS car soon!

Rhonda's folly-againSubmitted by straight shooter (not verified) on Wed, 10/31/2012 - 9:25am.
No doubt she will try to blame LaNasa and others---fact is Gott was wrong here. She can establish residency in NHC easily enough- but clearly she played games for many years-thats why SHE did not take oath. This isnt Justins fault or McCoys fault-its Gott's fault. Blame her and stop attacking others with bogus nonsense. People see through their nonsense-like others have said- Rhonda should go if she cant lead with class and Catlin -well he is a work of art we should put in a museum and not in Raleigh. »

This weekend Cromer Carnival hosted the last of it Royal Family competitions, choosing their junior attendants and prince and princess to join Miss Cromer and her senior attendant.
Last week trainee-chef Hayley Massingham was named Miss Cromer. The 18-year-old from Cromer will lead the town's annual celebrations this August with Erin Holroyd, 17, from Aldborough, as her senior attendant.
On Friday May 2, The Cottage hosted the junior attendant's competition which had 17 entrants.
The competition was won by 13-year-old Allyse Cook and Tasmin Beshir, 12, both from Cromer.
On Sunday May 4, The Community Hall hosted the Prince and Princess competition which was attended by over 30 entrants and their families.
The competition was won by Sol Rivett and Hannah Muirhead, both seven, from Cromer.
Organiser Michelle Hedge said: "I'm thrilled with how well attended all three competitions were and I think the judges have done an amazing job, albeit exceptionally tough this year.
"We are thrilled to welcome Hayley, Erin, Allyse, Tasmin, Hannah and Sol to the Carnival team."
The Royal Family will feature heavily in the Cromer Carnival week which runs August 16 to 22.
Carnival Chairman Tony Shipp said: "I would like to thank all the entrants who attended the competitions this year and for supporting the Carnival.
"I am looking forward to working alongside this year's Royals. They are one of our youngest groups of Royals and I am sure they will do a great job of representing both the Cromer Carnival and the town of Cromer."

I'm at a fancy restaurant with my parents. The bread basket comes out, and one of two things always happens. They will touch the bread and say, "Oh! It's hot!" and will pass it around with the urgency of a man in a burning house. Or they will complain bitterly about cold bread, saying, "I can't believe they don't give you hot bread in a fancy restaurant." I will say that many people feel that bread is at its best at room temperature. They will say that they can't believe that this fancy restaurant doesn't give you hot bread. I will say that in Europe, they rarely ever eat hot bread. They will say this restaurant is fancy, and fancy restaurants should give you hot bread. I will suggest holding a piece of bread over the candle. My mother will say the candle smoke is bad for you. Etc.
I like a dinner roll right out of the oven as much as the next guy, but I prefer crusty, European-style breads at room temperature. I know the party line on this: Made with slow fermentation, those breads have complex, subtle flavors that are overwhelmed by the aromas that come out when the bread is heated. But am I just buying the party line?
The other day, I brought this up in an otherwise casual conversation with my friend Shelby, an even-tempered but deeply profane man and, incidentally, one of the best bakers I've ever come across. "I don't eat hot bread," he said flatly. "That shit isn't finished cooking, for one thing."
One of the problems with bread right out of the oven, he told me, is that the insides aren't completely set yet; the starches and proteins don't fully form their structure until cool, so the chew isn't the same. And the water trapped inside the loaf takes its time working its way out of the bread, so there's a slow exchange of moisture back and forth through the crust before it stabilizes and reaches its optimum texture.
He was getting serious now. "I have to cut open hot loaves to show my students the crumb, but I smell it, and… I'm revolted. I feel I've done the bread a disservice."
His slow, deliberate tone belied an electric anger, and I started looking around for cars because he was no longer paying attention when he was crossing the street. "When you cut open a loaf of bread before it's finished cooling, you let all the steam out. That steam carries all these flavors that should stay in the bread. Now it will never taste as good as it would have. You let the spirit out of the bread. It's not like the spirit is coming back." His voice dropped a tone. "You fucked it up…because you had to be a BLEEP BLEEP and eat hot bread." Then, calmly, he said, "I feel like that's true."
It's hard not to be convinced by someone with conviction like that. Maybe I'll put him on the phone with my parents the next time we go out.

A science company takes an unscientific approach to
changing its role in sustainability.
Unaware of DuPont leadership in the safety and sustainability business, mainstream consumers considered DuPont products too complex to be relevant. And they were
right. DuPont had prided itself on products that were inherently scientific and rational. This caused the health of their brand to erode globally on all fronts with ever diminishing relevance and purchase intent among consumers.
Seeing an opportunity in scientific complexity, Ogilvyearth recognized the potential for DuPont to position itself as a pioneer in sustainable technologies simply by leveraging their history of innovation in a way that would replace its obtuse reputation as a "leader in product performance through science" into
a more dynamic promise. Focusing on "Lighthouse" products and brands, DuPont could demonstrate its ability to use "dynamic science" to build
safe and sustainable solutions for everyday life. Ogilvyearth identified further innovations by steering away from big budget ad campaigns to create their own case study, a demonstration, a 360-degree initiative that would be self-evident across channels and platforms.
In the aftermath of a Force 5 tornado the town of Greensburg, Kansas decided to do something extraordinary. The residents chose to rebuild Greensburg as American's first green town. The call went out for corporate help and DuPont was honored to step in. Owing to its portfolio of safety and sustainable building products, they were uniquely positioned to fulfill the town's dream to rebuild green. Realizing it was the perfect partnership for DuPont to demonstrate its great products rather than just talk about them,
we employed our entertainment group, OgilvyEntertainment. They created an emotional voltage in the communications that brought a sense of humanity to the DuPont brand in the story.
There was a 390% increase in awareness of DuPont as an innovative green company. Consumers realigned themselves with the brand finding it relevant and progressive. Local and national media sparked to the idea with TNT and ESPN showing
interest in covering DuPont efforts in Greensburg.
The event's impact reached as many as one million Americans, including the White House with then President Bush's chief aid calling DuPont with a request for further information on its work in Greensburg.

5 Earnings Stocks Poised to Pop
One final earnings short-squeeze idea play is aerospace and defense player Heico (HEI - Get Report), one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated aerospace and defense stocks, which is set to release its numbers on Thursday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Heico to report revenues of $192.69 million.
If you're looking for a strong uptrending stock ahead of the quarter, then take a strong look at shares of Heico. This stock has returned over 40% so far in 2011, and its currently trading just three points off of its 52-week high of $60.94 a share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float Heico is very high at 29.1%. That means that out of the 33.61 million shares in the tradable float, 3.37 million are sold short by the bears. This is a huge short interest on a stock with a reasonably low float. Any bullish earnings news should set this stock off for a monster short-squeeze. From a technical standpoint, HEI is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock hit a low in October at $45.18 a share, and since then, it has been uptrending strong making mostly higher highs and higher lows. Now HEI is setting up for a big breakout post-earnings if the company can report earnings that the bulls love. If you're bullish on HEI, I would wait until after its report and buy the stock as long as it stays above its 50-day moving average of $56.42 a share. If that level holds, I would then add aggressively once HEI triggers a major breakout above $60.50 to $60.94 on heavy volume. Look for volume that registers close to or above its three-month average action of 195,625 shares. I would short or avoid HEI after its earnings report only if the stock drops back below its 50-day of $56.42 on heavy volume. If that level is taken out post-earnings, then target a drop back towards the 200-day moving average of $51.79 a share, or possibly even lower if the bears gain control of this stock.

The BP Crosstown Cup Series Rivalry Match-Up Classic of Chicago is back for its second half. The White Sox swept the first half at Wrigley Field, so I can only assume the Cubs will return the favor. It won't win them the BP Cup, though, which stays with the reigning champion (White Sox) in the event of a tie.
By way of reminder, the Series Preview hooks you up with what you need to know about every series this year – streaks, broadcast information, pitchers, expected lineups, etc. That way, if you want to check only one place to get a sense about an upcoming series, or to plan ahead, you've got it. Oh, and there will be pictures of beautiful women, too.
We're Going Streaking
The Cubs once again did the 'ole win the first game, drop the latter two games of a series thing against the Red Sox, and they continue their .333 pace unabated. The Cubs remain the worst team in baseball.
The White Sox are four games over .500, and a game and a half up in the AL Central. How nice for them. They've lost four straight series, though.
Game Times and Broadcasts
- Monday, June 18 at 7:10 CT on WCIU.
- Tuesday, June 19 at 7:10 CT on CSN.
- Wednesday, June 20 at 7:10 CT on WGN.
Expected Starters and Lineups
These lineups are likely to be pretty close to what actually gets fielded, but you'll want to check each day's Pre-Gamin' post for the actual lineup.
Starters: Matt Garza (2-5, 4.04), Travis Wood (0-3, 4.58), Ryan Dempster (3-3, 2.11)
- Tony Campana, CF
- Starlin Castro, SS
- David DeJesus, RF
- Alfonso Soriano, DH
- Bryan LaHair, 1B
- Reed Johnson, LF
- Geovany Soto, C (could be back today)
- Darwin Barney, 2B
- Luis Valbuena, 3B
White Sox
Starters: Zach Stewart (1-1, 5.18), Jake Peavy (6-2, 2.91), Gavin Floyd (4-7, 5.63)
- Alejandro De Aza, CF
- Gordon Beckham, 2B
- Adam Dunn, DH
- Paul Konerko, 1B
- AJ Pierzynski, C
- Dayan Viciedo, LF
- Alex Rios, RF
- Alexei Ramirez, SS
- Orlando Hudson, 3B
Hot or Not and Whom to Watch
Matt Garza is still trying to get on track. Well, that is to say, the track he road last year, when he looked like one of the top 15 starters in the game.
Was Friday's start Ryan Dempster's last as a member of the Cubs? Or just his last at Wrigley? We'll see if he's on the mound for the Cubs on Wednesday, but I'm betting he is.
Bryan LaHair has quietly gone on another cool streak, hitting .167/.286/.222 over his last six games.
David DeJesus has been not-so-quietly cold, going just .146/.288/.268 in his last 14 games. Say, when did DeJesus start hitting third regularly? … Ah, yes. Fourteen games ago.
AJ Pierzynski has a .500 OPS in his last eight games. Face!
On the flip side, Paul Konerko, who leads the AL in BA (.359) and OBP (.435), is hitting .400/.465/.656 since mid-May.
Adam Dunn is officially back. He leads the league in homers (23), walks (53), and … strikeouts (104).
Series She-View
The Series She-View is one beautiful woman representing the Cubs taking on another (usually) beautiful woman representing the opponent. The Cubs' representative will change as the team's needs change – in other words, if the Cubs are winning, the rep will stay the same. But if the Cubs' performance calls for a change, someone new will step in. The opponent's representative will change from series to series, at my whim. But at least she'll probably be wearing the opponent's colors or have some connection to the team or something like that. It is immature, and the connection to baseball is tenuous at best. These things, I know.
We're going to stick with Brooklyn Decker for another series for the Cubs for at least three reasons: (1) the Cubs lost two of three to the Red Sox under her watch, but that's their season average, so it's not like she did worse than anyone else; (2) it's another relatively important series, so the Cubs need all the help they can get; and (3) do you really need a third reason to enjoy the beauty of Brooklyn Decker?
The White Sox are not getting a sexy representative. They still get what they get.

Serotonin is popularly known as the "feel-good hormone," or your body's own natural tranquilizer, hence the happiness factor. This is the neurotransmitter that antidepressants target in order to boost overall happiness levels. Up to 90 percent of your body's total serotonin is located in your gut, where it regulates intestinal movement. The remainder is synthesized in your central nervous system and helps regulate mood, appetite, sleep, muscle contraction, and some cognitive functions including memory and learning.

Fugitive Summons Issued for U.S. Black Anarchist, Lorenzo Komboa Ervin

for the email it says to 'What office do you want to send this email to?' and i'm not sure which one to choose…
Cate permalinkFebruary 27, 2013 9:56 am
Two questions:
1) What's going on to actively try and get the Disrupting Meetings Law declared unconstitutional–what suits have been filed and how can one help with that?
2) How much are the court costs they're supposed to owe? If those fees go away, the fugitive summons should be dropped, right? Is there a way for people to make protest contributions so this summons can go away and stop being a distraction for the ongoing anti-police brutality work in Memphis?

As HollywoodLife.com's first-ever podcast guest, Snooki, who is pregnant with her second child, revealed an interesting perspective on the controversial topic of necessary childhood vaccines. Click inside to LISTEN!
Snooki, 26, is set to give birth to a baby girl in fall 2014. While speaking to HollywoodLife.com's Editor-In-Chief Bonnie Fuller in an EXCLUSIVE podcast interview, she revealed her wedding date, told us all about her baby girl's new nursery, and then even revealed her opinion on vaccinating her son, Lorenzo, 1, and her new baby girl.
Snooki Discusses Controversial Vaccinations For Children
Is Snooki ready to be a second-time mom? ABSOLUTELY!
The pregnant television personality spoke EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife.com's Editor-In-Chief Bonnie Fuller about all things new baby.
During the interview, we made sure to get the scoop on some important topics — like where Snooki stands when it comes to necessary childhood vaccinations for her children.
"[Gianni & I] got a little nervous about that, but we both decided we would rather have our baby healthy and have the vaccines instead of getting the diseases and — God forbid — dying from them," the expectant mom said, making it clear that she understands that new studies have proven that there is no link between autism and vaccines.
We were truly impressed by Snooki's incredible parenting decisions, especially when it comes to vaccinating her children. It's okay to be nervous for your children, but it is so much better to be safe rather than sorry.
"I'm definitely fine with vaccines. I don't have a problem with it. I look at it as, I know there's a lot of scares with autism and the shots and everything, but nothing really has been proven."
She also described how her new baby girl's nursery would be very different in it's look from Lorenzo's, which features a rich dark wood crib and dresser.
Make sure to listen to HollywoodLife.com's podcast with Snooki below to hear her talk about potential baby names, whether or not she will breastfeed again, keeping in shape, how she'll dress her new baby girl, and when we can expect her highly anticipated wedding!
Tell us, HollyMoms — What are YOUR thoughts on vaccines? Do you agree with Snooki that they are extremely important? Let us know your thoughts below!

There is a link between vaccines and autism, alzheimers and ADHD… it is the aluminium content as well as preservatives and additives contained within the vaccine…. you just need to google for the information… I would be disinclined to take advice from a dwarf who is a reformed alcoholic with false horse teeth and who has done no medical research
Why is that when people listen to Snookie (who made her career on getting wasted on camera until she became pregnant) regarding vaccines they are smart parenting but Jenny McCarthy is a dumb blonde talk show host? And Mayim Bialik? She was on Blossom and she also has a degree in Nuero science….. Its ridiculous the way this country makes people famous and even more so just because someone is famous DOES NOT MAKE THEM KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. VACCINES DO IN FACT CAUSE AUTSIM if they didn't why is it clearly stated in th package insert? Investigative journalism you should try it sometime and become a half way decent writer instead of some misinformed spreading tabloid joke

Oh ya, great parenting desicions…she chops up her baby's poor little penis for NO medical reason. She bases nothing on fact, science or medicine. She vaccinates because she's supposed to (and I'm not saying it's a bad thing that she does, just that nothing she said indicates ANY research)

One of the main reasons no one "gave a crap until recently" is that it is when the vaccine schedule greatly increased in the 1990's that the side effects started manifesting. I am in my 50's and we only got 6 vaccinations over the course of 11 years. You didn't HAVE all this back then…that is way it is "only recently".

Ask the now "Millions" of vaccine injured children and their families about the fake safety of vaccines, then ask yourself this question. are you ready to pay for the costs (billions per year) of autism and other vaccine induced conditions/diseases? you and your children will be paying for this for the rest of your lives, the first major wave (500,000) of these young adults is coming in just 3 short years after they age out of the school system, and imagine this each and every other year after that there will be more, until we get to the point where 1 in 2 children will have autism in just 11 years. Are you still excited about vaccines?
Posted at 7:22 AM on July 14, 2014
Yes, there are TONS of studies. They don't make main stream media news so much but if you dig a little bit it is out there in plenty. Even the Supreme Court of Italy found the MMR vaccine as the cause of autism. Look on the vaccine manufacturers insert. Many have ADD, ADHD, Autism, and other neurological conditions listed as the side effects of their vaccines.

who cares what she thinks about vaccinations some of them are necessary and are proven to save lives she can ask Tessa Dahl about that she's a vaccine advocate after watching her older sister Olivia die of measles complications age 7 in 1962 when there was an outbreak at their private school in England and a shortage of the medication used to treat it that was before there was a vaccine available
Posted at 8:34 PM on July 13, 2014
what did this sister of tessa dahl die of? measles? pneumonia? Millions of children have had measles and survived, just as millions have had the measles vaccine and survived. There are risks and benefits to be weighed and decided upon and it is up to the person who will live with it, not the doctor or the state.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker talks education, closing achievement gap in visit to Springfield's Veritas Preparatory Charter School
In a visit to Western Massachusetts aimed at boosting the soon-to-open Phoenix Charter Academy High School in Springfield, Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker spent part of the morning touring another charter school in the city.
Veritas Preparatory Charter School on Pine Street, which is in its second year of operations, welcomed Baker, who spent time talking with students, visiting classrooms and watching lessons in progress.
"The fact that they had the kids write down arguments for both sides of the issue they were going to debate, let them pick a side and then debate with one another – that is the way you fundamentally help kids process information and think about problems," Baker said in reference to a social studies class that was discussing thecaste system. "The kids we talked to really love being here, despite the long school day."
