Al's 5:1:1 mix when growing veggies in areas w/ alkaline water
I've read so many threads about Al's 5:1:1 mix that my head is starting to spin. Can somebody tell me if this sounds right for growing veggies (peppers, eggplant, cukes, zucchini, etc)? I get the pine bark fines, perlite, and peat and will mix those in the appropriate ratios, so here are my questions:
1. The water in my area is very alkaline, so I'm wondering if I should use gypsum instead of lime? I know that I would need to also add epsom salts to this.
2. If I go this route, how much gypsum and how much epsom salts to each 5 gallon bucket?
3. After mixing the soil, I only need to weakly fertilize with the Dynamix Foilage Pro (3-1-2) on a weekly schedule?
4. Pine bark fines, perlite, peat, gypsum, epsom salts, Foilage Pro. Is there anything else that I need?
Thanks so much!
Hello, Roselane!
I think it would be easier to add white vinegar (or citric acid) to lower the pH of your water,
rather than add the gypsum to your mix and subsequently have to use epsom salts when fertilizing.
As far as fertilizing, "weakly weekly" is a good plan. If I recall correctly, a half-strength dose is
what you'll apply weekly, or a full strength dose every two weeks. I'm sure Al will correct this
if I'm off in my numbers.
Other than that, spinning head or not, you're right on the money! ;-)
The Foliage-Pro NPK % will be 9-3-6, even though the RATIO is 3:1:2. If you don't understand this, just ask. ;o)
I'd still use lime instead of gypsum, and do what josh says - add white vinegar or citric acid to your irrigation water to neutralize alkalinity and lower pH. You can get a pond or aquarium pH test kit to see how much vinegar or citric acid it takes to lower your irrigation water to about 5.0-5.5, then add that much vinegar to your water each time you irrigate.
I'm excited for you. ;o)
Don't feel bad... my head spun a time or two, also... but once you understand the concept of what you're doing, and you know what each ingredient brings to the mix you're building and using, it will all fall into place.
What I did is copy and paste the original article, "Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention", which has it's own thread here, to a text file on my desktop, and I refer to it when I'm not sure about something. After reading through it several times, everything clicked. I think once you get a little more familiar with the soil recipes and the concept of each, you'll do just fine!
And there's always a great support team here, ready to help in any way required! :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention 12
Thanks so much everybody! I really appreciate your advice and encouragement. I was glad to check this thread before I bought the gypsum!
It will be tricky to add the vinegar every time I water because I'm out of town 3 days each week and use drip irrigation to water my containers. I will do some research and see if there is a solution for this problem.
Al, thanks for commenting and for your all your great GW advice on this topic! I'm excited to move beyond Miracle Gro potting mix! I do understand about the Foliage Pro ratios. I had written "Foilage Pro or water-soluble 3-1-2" on my shopping list. I forgot to "translate" it back when I posted this thread. :)
It really is great to find a group where almost everyone is upbeat and positive - anxious to help. It makes our gardening adventures a lot more fun, knowing even people at a distance have a keen interest in our success. ;o) I'm certain everyone is glad you're here & hopes you'll stick around. Your kind words are appreciated too, btw. Thank you!
Best luck!
On the subject of alkaline water, which I, too, have to deal with, I hand water everything. I know it sounds time-consuming, but I enjoy this activity. It also gives me the opportunity to get "up close and personal" with my plants so that I can check them for insects and diseases early in the game, and I can do minor pruning as I go, too.
How do I know I am adding the appropriate amount of vinegar and not simply washing it out as I water when I add it? If I use a hose-end sprayer, will that work, in the appropriate ratio? I usually water until it is coming out through the bottom of the container and then some.
I know drip irrigation would be better, but I just don't want to give up this pleasurable time I spend with my garden plants.
They make drip irrigation fertilizer injectors which you can use with vinegar. The only problem you might have is that the injectors generally have a pretty small capacity (the ones I saw anyway) so you might be filling it up with vinegar pretty often.
Also if you get one of the cheaper kinds they will have a fixed rate of maybe something like 1:16 or close to that - which means you'd almost certainly have to dilute your vinegar with water - further reducing your ph altering capacity and increasing the frequency of refilling.
But if you just want a better pH with drip and don't mind refilling it often - or as often as you can - I would look at the injectors.
Susan - if NOT using DI, then get a pH test kit for under $5 from a pool/pond store or a pet shop (aquariums). Add vinegar or citric acid to your tapwater until the pH is about 5.0-5.5, and note how much acid it took to reduce the given volume of tap water to that pH level. Thereafter, add that amount to your irrigation water each time you irrigate. It really will make a difference in helping to prevent nutritional issues - particularly micronutrient deficiencies Remember, plants need ALL 12 essential nutrients they normally get from the soil (solution) to grow normally. If they don't get them, they start 'borrowing' the nutrients from other plant parts, then shed them, or grow with abnormalities/deformities.
redshirtcat-thanks so much for mentioning the injectors. I saw something like that at the Charley's greenhouse site, but the one there couldn't be used with drip irrigation, so I thought they were out of the question. In case you or anyone else is interested in these, I found this one that can be used with drip irrigation AND is a large capacity. It's a little pricey, but I guess "in for a dime, in for a dollar"! :) Thanks again.
On any siphon system (and I can't tell if that's one or not - it's built like it could be but I had read reviews of them somewhere that said the tank was taking on water - which a siphon system shouldn't) you want to make sure that you meet the pressure and flow requirements or you will not get the expected mix.
I was looking at systems like these but ultimately went with a hose end sprayer because I couldn't find good feedback on these systems - so let me know if you try it and it works :) The ones that looked like they would certainly work were the dosatron style commercial systems that are all ~500$ or in that price range - more than I could spend. I still check Craigslist daily for used ones ;)
I've ordered a 3 gallon fertilizer injector and I think I've calculated a formula to start with:
12 parts vinegar: 1 part foliage pro
I'll set the fertilizer injector at 250:1
This should deliver almost 1 TB vinegar per gallon of water and 1/4 tsp of FP per gallon. From what I've read the vinegar should lower the ph by approximately 1. Drip irrigation will be watering/fertilizing almost every day. On the weekends, I will probably hand water as needed, especially to flush out the containers. I'm sure this will need some tweaking, but that's my starter plan
Anyway, if anyone has advice for me on that, I'm all ears. However, my real question is whether it is safe to combine vinegar and FP. From reading other threads, it seems like people have done it with other fertilizers, but always diluted with water and used immediately. In my case, this injector would be sitting there with a full-on mixture of 12 parts vinegar and 1 part FP. I'm in Kansas where we are likely to hit 100 degrees during the summer. Is that going to be safe and effective or can the vinegar somehow "ruin" the fertilizer?

British Virgin Islands
Concierge.com's insider take:
Cane Garden Bay. A long, sheltered curve of white sand on the north coast, this has many water-sports facilities and is lined with restaurants and bars that remain lively well into the evening.
Long Bay. Aptly named, this white-sand mile is busier at the east end, where there are several guesthouses and a resort, but tranquil in the west.
Apple Bay Beach. A surfing center near Long Bay with famous full-moon parties at Bomba's Surfside Shack and a Friday night fish fry.
Smugglers Cove. At the west end of the island, this clear, calm stretch of water with good snorkeling is hard to access by land and therefore very quiet.
Elizabeth Beach. At the east end: one of the widest beaches in the islands. Not to be confused with Lambert Bay, a.k.a Elizabeth Bay, on the north shore, though nobody would mind finding themselves there instead.

Check out a video I made below displaying my picks for the Top 10 Movies Of 2010!! These picks are based solely on my enjoyment of the film and my opinion of them. I didn't see every single film released this year (obviously) so if you don't see a certain film that you think should be on the list its not necessarily cause I didn't think it was deserving. The Social Network IS NOT ON MY LIST, the upcoming TWITTER and MYSPACE movies won't be either. Enjoy!! #1 On My Expendables Wish List of actors who I would like to see appear in Expendables 2 is a former wrestler turned actor who is emerging to lead the next generation of action stars. He got his start in a cameo role in The Mummy Returns, delivered his best film so far in The Rundown and delivered his career low in Disney's The Tooth Fairy. He's Dwayne Johnson, formerly known simply as "The Rock" Johnson has made himself a household name and after a few years of Disney films, he's committed to a return to action with his recent film Faster and his upcoming films Fast Five and Protection. Stallone has already stated he has Dwayne Johnson on his radar and I think Johnson has both the fighting skills and comedic skills to fit right in with The Expendables. Dwayne Johnson is who I want most of all to join Expendables 2. What do you guys think?
HERE'S MY TOP FIVE TO RE-CAP: 1. Dwayne Johnson (The Rundown, Fast Five) 2. Sandra Bullock (Speed, The Blind Side) 3. Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Cowboys & Aliens) 4. Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, TV's Human Target) 5. Maggie Q (Live Free Or Die Hard, TV''s Nikita) #2 On My Expendables Wish List of actors who I would like to see appear in Expendables 2 is an Academy Award winner and an actress who has proven her strength in drama, romance, comedy and ACTION!! She's romanced Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal, drove a bus with a bomb on board in Speed and took home the big trophy for The Blind Side. She's Sandra Bullock and I think she would bring respectability and even more talent to Expendables 2. She was rumored to be in the original Expendables but apparently was never officially asked, I hope Sly asks and she accepts this time around. Sly and Sandra already have a connection from doing Demolition Man together and I thought they acted together well and would love to see them do it again. What do you guys think?
#3 On My Expendables Wish List of actors who I want to see appear in Expendables 2 is a highly talented actor who shot to fame after taking on an iconic action role. He's the star of next summer's Cowboys & Aliens and has a lead role in the adaptation of the best selling novel The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and he's of course, James Bond, having played the role so far in Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace. His name is Daniel Craig and I would love to see him join the Expendables sequel in either a hero or villain role. The James Bond franchise is the most successful action franchise in history and its just natural that the man who plays Bond gets a crack in The Expendables franchise. Craig has shown he can play tough, taking punches and giving them right back. This isn't Roger Moore's Bond, this is Daniel Craig's Bond. I think Daniel Craig would fit right in. What do you guys think?

I want to ask you to participate in a brief exercise: Imagine what it feels like to go hungry for a day. Now, imagine what it feels like to go hungry for two days, a week, or more. For most of us this is hard – if not impossible – to comprehend, but for hundreds of millions this is a reality. Each day on this planet, as many as 25,000 children die from hunger-related issues. Today, Monday, March 28 I will go without food. My wife, Kimberly; Heifer International President, Jo Luck; and Martha Hirpa, director of gender equity advocacy are joining me in this fast. We're doing this to highlight the tremendous hunger and poverty that exists in the world…even today. We're also doing it to show solidarity with Ambassador Hall and to show that for us to be truly committed to ending hunger we have to experience it. Of course, this pales in comparison to the hunger that millions suffer every day. As you probably know, the U.S. Congress is poised to vote on a budget that puts at risk critical humanitarian and development programs which save millions of lives every year. At risk in these cuts is the forward-thinking anti-hunger and poverty program Feed the Future, which aims to bolster poor countries' food production capabilities. This isn't a question of charity; it's an issue of life or death for millions of people — especially women and girls who produce most of the world's food but suffer the greatest hunger and poverty and derive the fewest benefits. America's international affairs budget is a critical component of feeding millions of families and ongoing efforts that target disease, hunger, poverty, climate change and programs that help build sustainable futures for all. It's also a critical component of global security, which becomes very unsettled with a potential rise in famine and disease. America faces an unparalleled budget deficit, but it's critical that human health and progress not be sacrificed by shortsighted cuts to an international affairs budget that provides life-saving results with low-investment interventions. We all have a part to play in this; it's time to choose yours. You can take personal action on these proposed cuts by visiting www.heifer.org/TakeAction. Pierre Ferrari, born in Africa in 1950 in what was then the Belgian Congo (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo and from 1971 to 1997 called Zaire), is Heifer International's chief executive officer. Ferrari has more than 40 years of business experience, from large consumer goods organizations such as Coca-Cola USA to work with socially oriented organizations like CARE and the Small Enterprise Assistance Fund. He succeeds Heifer's longtime President and former CEO Jo Luck. Ferrari holds a master's degree in Economics from The University of Cambridge and a MBA from
Harvard Business School. Find more of Pierre's thoughts on ending hunger and poverty by

Santa Fe + Taos restaurants
One word defines New Mexican cuisine: chiles, which find their way into everything from hamburgers to eggs. There are two varieties, green and red, and choosing an allegiance is a bit like picking a favorite football team. (You can always ask for "Christmas"—meaning both.) Green is fresher and brighter tasting, while red is smokier and often hotter. The preponderance of chiles and the lack of cilantro separate New Mexican cuisine from Mexican. Quiet the heat with after-dinner sopapillas—doughy, fluffy fried-bread confections meant to be dribbled with honey.

Alexander Lebedev In Court Over TV Punch-Up
Newspaper tycoon Alexander Lebedev will appear in court today charged with hooliganism, after a televised punch-up with a fellow oligarch which could see him sent to a Siberian prison for up to five years.
Mr Lebedev does not deny that he punched property magnate Sergei Polonsky - knocking him off his stool - during a recording on NTV, a Kremlin-controlled TV channel in 2011.
However he claims it was self-defence, and that the case against him is politically-motivated.
As well as straightforward assault charges, Mr Lebedev is being tried for "hooliganism motivated by political hatred", under a section of the same law used to convict feminist punk band Pussy Riot last year.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years.
The former KGB spy co-owns Novaya Gazeta, one of the only independent newspapers in Russia, and is a prominent critic of Vladimir Putin's administration.
Several of its reporters have been murdered in recent years, including Anna Politkovskaya, who was shot dead outside her Moscow apartment on President Putin's birthday in 2006.
She had reported extensively on human rights abuses during the Russian military offensive in Chechnya.
Mr Lebedev famously bought the British Evening Standard in 2009, telling reporters that he used to read it as a young Russian spy based in London in his earlier career.
He went on to buy The Independent, but says both titles are now owned by his London-based son, Evgeny Lebedev, and that they will be protected should he be sent to prison.
Preliminary hearings in the case are scheduled to begin at Moscow's Ostankinsky Court, but they will have trouble summoning Sergei Polonsky as a witness.
Mr Polonsky is currently under arrest in Cambodia, where he is accused of kidnapping local sailors aboard a boat he had hired during a holiday.
The controversial tycoon is well-known in Russia for his colourful antics, which have included eating part of his tie after losing a bet, naming both his son and his dog after his company Mirax, and firing 90% of his company over the course of one year after being told to make cutbacks.
Mr Lebedev has many powerful enemies in Russia, not least the ranks of the criminal and the corrupt, whose dealings his newspaper investigates.
He has said he is hopeful that justice will prevail, but that he is also prepared for the worst.

Wild camellia limbs
I have a Winters Star Camellia and it has 2 long limbs growing from the top. Can I just cut them off now? If I can cut them off,can I plant them to start new ones?
You can do minor pruning like that at any time. And you can try to propagate, although it is a little late. Tender cuttings propagate far easier. Here is some information from the American Camellia Society:
"Cuttings of new growth are the easiest to root. They should be taken soon after the tender growth matures and hardens (May - August). The cut should preferably be made around the fifth node (the node is the tiny bud-like growth at the base of the leaf junction with the stem). Cuttings of this length are long enough to remove the lower leaves, leaving eyes from which roots will develop in addition to those at the cut end. A tapering cut should be made at the base of the cutting. This allows more surface for roots to develop. To reduce dehydration, the leaves left on the cutting may trimmed back one-half.
A media of one-half sand and one-half peat has been proved successful. Also used are vermiculite and perlite. The medium should drain well but not dry out too quickly. Any box, pot, or container, or bed at least 4-6 inches deep that provides good drainage is suitable for the medium. Although not necessary, a rooting hormone may speed up rooting if applied to cuttings before inserting into the medium.
Cuttings should be place in rooting media about 2 inches apart and 2-3 inches deep. A covering of glass or plastic over the pot will help to retain moisture. Intermittent mist is used by nurserymen to prevent drying out. Cuttings should be kept moist, but not wet at all times. When cuttings are well rooted, usually mid-to-late winter, transfer them to pots or plant in a protected bed. A small number of cuttings may be rooted in a pot of sand covered with a milk jug or soft drink bottle with bottom removed."

Shopping in Leeds is by no means for the faint-hearted, though those who love this pastime will not be let down by the city in any way. In fact, Leeds City Centre is the one and only place to buy anything from haute couture to high-street offerings, with a plethora of choices.
If you love your designer labels, then head straight to Victoria Quarter. This is one of Leeds' most-envied shopping destinations and provides an array of high-end shops, from Louis Vuitton and Harvey Nichols to some of our favourite high-street brands like Karen Millen and All Saints. Not only is Victoria Quarter a fantastic place to shop, it is also one of Leeds' most beautiful and historic buildings, bringing together a number of pre-war structures with eye-catching modern architecture.
While Victoria Quarter serves as a nexus of wonderful boutiques and top designers, the streets surrounding this unmissable destination provide some excellent high-street staples, particularly Briggate. This wide, pedestrianised road is home to Topshop, House of Fraser, Debenhams, American Apparel and Zara, as well as numerous shoe shops, cafés and specialist stores. From here, you also have access to half a dozen arcades, each with private sellers waiting to surprise those willing to take a look at their fantastic offerings.
Not all of us are bowled over by the idea of shopping, so if you are in search of more history, why not visit The Corn Exchange, a stunning Grade I listed building which houses independent designers alongside jewellery and gift shops. The Corn Exchange examples breathtaking architecture through its glorious domed interior and is placed next to Leeds Kirkgate Market, the largest covered market in Europe.
If you fancy getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, or you just want to avoid bad weather, the White Rose Centre is a wonderful huge indoor shopping
mall on the outskirts of the Leeds and provides free parking. There are tons of high street shops to visit, whether it's River Island, Wallis, New Look or the massive Debenhams outlet. On top of this, the upstairs area houses a huge food court that serves everything from jacket potatoes to pastries, giving you a nice area for some respite.
Leeds also has some beautiful hidden gems when it comes to shopping; local boutiques, which example couture and vintage styles, are mindblowing. If this is the type of shopping you prefer, then Leeds is the place to be; Aqua Couture gives you the chance to buy beautifully-designed dresses, while Each to Their Own showcases the latest male and female collections. Both of these stores are young, hip and trendy, and would be the perfect place to head when searching for that all-important party outfit. Meanwhile, vintage is getting much bigger on the Leeds scene and both Blue Rinse and Pop Boutique offer some wonderful bargains.
Ultimately, Leeds has a lot to offer and is the capital of fashion for the north, above rivals such as Manchester and Newcastle. What are you waiting for? Visit Leeds and come and see for yourself!

5 Brilliant !Squirell303 | 24/05/2011 | See all Squirell303's reviews (1)Wow!This fabulous game really brings a feeling of tension and gives a real sense that you are on a covert mission - make too much noise or miss that headshot and your victims cry out alerting the guards and making progress much harder.As a rifle shooter myself, I can testify to the realism of the shooting. Bullet drop is catered and perhaps winds affects (not sure on this though) - also if you have just run 200m and your breath is coming in short gasps then you cannot expect to place rock-steady cross-hairs on your target. The game also re-creates that fade of concentration you get when looking intently down your scope for too long.Yes, there are some disjointed features e.g. the game will lurch from great action to a cut-scene with little explanation and you will find automatic game-saves cutting off the chat from your companion momentarily but overall, the graphics, sound and the action are spot on.This is the only games that comes close the sniper mission in COD: MW.Give it a shot!
5 Good Original ideapaddyw9 | 12/05/2011 | See all paddyw9's reviews (1)Hired the game on lovefilm and have been playing it for about a week now.Its such a refreshing game compared to all the other fps games out.Completed it pretty quickly,sad to see it finish and cant play it online at the moment due to the network still down so i cant comment on that.Hopefully the company will make another one and make it longer and more challenging.If you like the ethos of being a sniper in a games console this is it,being an ex army sniper i could relate to some of the ideas the developers were getting across.A very enjoyable game.
4 I'm guttedminiboy | 07/05/2011 | See all miniboy's reviews (10)Wat an amazing fps the best I've played in a long time but I completed it in 4 hours city interactive have done something amazing please make another but longer next time
2 not very good for your moneysammylou | 08/06/2011 | See all sammylou's reviews (6)its average but i finished it in 4 hours, i rented this from blockbuster and returned it the same day i was so gutted- this is not worth the full price and is not the sort of game you wanna play again and again.
5 Amazingdazsto | 06/05/2011 | See all dazsto's reviews (73)This game was a surprise orginally released on the xbox 360 it was good to see it converted for the ps3.Its a detailed real as possible portrayal of the life of a combat sniper.The environments are detailed and the enemy ai really responsive.Having to account for wind direction tempreture etc when sniping a distance enemy is a interestingy element to this game.along with the normal paced action of a fps i compare this to black ops with the added function of controlling the pace of the action through your actions as a sniper.by far an excellent game worthy of any hardcore fps fan

Features & Use
Not only are they dangerous, potholes can cost you a pretty penny, too. Busted tires or bumps, bruises and dents in the coachwork—not uncommon when your car runs into (literally) a pothole. And that's not the worst of it—the damage to your car can be significant, and in most cases insurance won't cover the damage, the argument being that drivers should not expect smooth cruising and shouldn't be surprised to encounter a few bumps along the way.
Where does Pothole Alert come in? Easy: you notify them about a pothole and they pass the information to the public authorities.
Pothole Alert is built on the participatory principle of a functioning community of people looking out for one another. Users can inform the developers of potholes via the app. Potholes are allocated using Google Maps, and to make it easier for the authorities to assess the urgency of the situation you can include the size of the pothole (in cm), or even send them a photo.
When you first send off information regarding a pothole, the status will be listed as 'New'. As soon as the developers have passed the information on to the authorities, the status changes to 'Forwarded'. When and if you notice that the pothole has been seen to you can change the status to 'Repaired'.
Less is More—when there are too many functions
Pothole Alert does provide users with some functions that seem somewhat superfluous.
- Share Pothole
Most Android apps allow users to share things with others via social medias—but how likely is it that you will share information regarding a pothole with your mates? I decided to try it out for myself and see what it's all about, and it turns out that what actually happens is that a link to the Pothole Alert website gets sent out to your contacts when you opt for this function. Once you're on the website you can whinge about how much you too hate a certain pothole. 'That miserable son-of-a-so-and-so pothole', and so on.
- Navigate
Uhm, do you want to navigate towards a pothole? Pothole sight-seeing? Pothole assessment rounds? I don't get it, but my guess would be that the developpers were a bit over-zealous when creating this function, because honestly I don't see the logic behind it.
- Vote
I like the idea that community members can show their appreciation to other users who take the time to report potholes. United we stand, and so on. And while this option can easily be found on the website, I couldn't locate it within the app. As a result I'm not quite sure what this function is actually all about… frustrating.
Bottom line:
Pothole Alert is a great app, despite a few functions that strike me as being superfluous. I like the idea a lot, but I guess it remains to be seen how quickly public authorities will react to notifications. I predict that if the Pothole Alert community is sufficiently large (and thus influential), the authorities will be more likely to listen and act. Here's hoping…
Please note that the app is currently available in English but only covers Germany. Let's hope that developers add more countries in the near future!
Screen & Controls
Pothole Alert is easy to use and it takes but a few clicks to send off information regarding potholes.
Controls are a piece of cake
The button for sending notifications is located on the app's homescreen. In order to allocate the pothole simply mark its position on Google Maps. It isn't possible to include an address manually, which can be a problem, because if the position of the pothole on Google Maps isn't accurate there's no way of changing it. That said, everything worked fine during our test runs.
Some of the functions seem a bit naff (My Potholes? Come on!), but let's not be too nit-picky.
The developers welcome constructive criticism
I love the fact that there's a tab that allows users to inform the developers what they think of the app. Comments, critiques and suggestions are welcome.
Very cool!
Bottom line:
Pothole Alert does quite well overall in this category. As I mentioned earlier, it remains to be seen how much good this sort of app can actually do, but it certainly won't do any harm to give it a go and hope for the best.
Speed & Stability
Pothole Alert runs really well and didn't crash during our test runs.
Price/Performance Ratio
Pothole Alert is available for free from the Google Market or the AndroidPIT App Center.

CSR / Corporate Social Responsibility
"We need business to give practical meaning and reach to the values and principles that connect cultures and people everywhere", Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General.
According to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) any organization, whether public or private, has a very high regard for the interests of society as a whole, taking responsibility for the impact that their activities, and those of their customers, suppliers and collaborators, may have on the environment and on the local community.
Companies that adhere to the CSR model and philosophy set themselves social and environmental objectives, but they also aim to make profits, interpreting CSR also in the context of strategic investment. We might think, for example, of public procurement by tender, where it's now the normal practice that more points will be obtained if it can be demonstrated that CSR principles (Green Public Procurement) are being followed.
Even though CSR is a voluntary model of socially just and ecologically sustainable management, this does not mean that it is not subject to strict, precise parameters. This is where the fundamental element of certifications comes in (see BS8901 Standard), which allow internationally established minimum criteria to be strictly applied.
Some useful tools for the application or certification of an ethical code of conduct:
In the Green Paper "Promoting a European framework for corporate social responsibility" presented in 2001 by the EU Commission, we can find a full description of the CSR's basic principles and the European Union's commitment to promoting it.http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/it/com/2001/com2001_0366it01.pdf

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — A dangerous trend called "road skating" or "street surfing" is showing up online: a person steps out of a moving car, holding on with their hands, so their feet "skate" against the ground. That risky behavior has landed a Grants Pass teen in a hospital with life-threatening injuries according to police.
Wednesday night, 17-year-old Benjamin Davis showed up in the ER with traumatic injuries and police were called. Police say he was riding in a car driven by a juvenile, with another minor in the car.
The two minors told police that Davis reportedly opened the passenger door and stepped out of the vehicle as it traveled at approximately 20-30 miles per hour. After traveling more than 200 feet, witnesses say Davis lost his grip while the vehicle kept driving 20-30 miles per hour.
Police say he fell under the vehicle and was run over by the passenger rear tire. Davis has been transported to a Eugene hospital to be evaluated by specialists for internal organ injuries and brain injuries. Police would like to remind the public that "street surfing" is dangerous and illegal.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Detective Brown of the GPDPS at (541) 450-6345.

As other movies done by Daniel "TFG" Frome, they have been nothing but entertainment. This movie does not lack any of it. The films starts off with the fast paced sound track of Batman Begins which adds a scary mood in the beginning and definitely keeps you glued to the movie. Many of you have probably seen Daniel's work and know that he does not do frag movies, which means that it is not about a clan getting "amazing" kills in the game. This film involves his machinima filming and a story of the team all in to one. It's almost like a bundle package. With years of experience, The_Family_God knows what he is doing and it's proven throughout the whole movie.
After the first couple of minutes, we get into the game play. It involves amazing effects, such as the thermal vision and shuddering camera, and I can tell you that you won't be disappointed. The movie is totally balanced. Each scene the movie gets into, it flows in correctly. As any Hollywood movies would have, the sounds and music would tell us what we would expect, and TFG has done just that with the film.
One of the most used effects was the "Bullet Time" phase. It's used throughout the film but it was used wisely. It may remind you of Max Payne, when you're in bullet time mode with the bullets striking the enemy from head to toe. These effects add something like a mask which makes the movie so entertaining.
The movie is different from any other Counter-Strike movie you would see out there. It's not all about those uber-leet kills. It's about a team that has strived from being almost last to one of the best out there. CompLexity Armageddon shows all of that and perfects it for the audience to view.

Belarusian diaspora
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2011) |
Belarusian diaspora refers to emigrants from the territory of Belarus as well for people of Belarusian descent.
According to different researches, there are between 2.5 and 3.5 millions of people of Belarusian descent living outside the territory of the Republic of Belarus. This number includes descendants of economic emigrants from Belarus of late 19th century and early 20th century, of emigrants of times of the Second World War and emigrants of the wave that started in the 1990s. Another group of Belarusian diaspora are people who migrated within the USSR before 1991 and who after its dissolution became inhabitants of other post-Soviet countries. A separate group usually associated with the Belarusian diaspora are ethnic minorities in the borderlands of Belarus with Poland, Lithuania and Russia.
A separate group of emigrants from Belarus were Belarusian Jews who have established significant communities in the USA and Israel. The historic name for Belarusian Jews were Litvaks, a corrupted term of Litvin or "Lithuanian" in Belarusian.
There is a tendency to a decline in the number of people identifying themselves as Belarusians according to official censuses.
The biggest and best organized Belarusian diasporas live in Russia (including Siberia), Ukraine, Poland, the USA, Canada, the UK, the Baltic states (i.e., Estonia and Latvia), Central Asia (primarily the Soviet-era Farming settlement program in Kazakhstan) and the TransCaucasus nations (i.e., Armenia and Georgia).
There are small Belarusian communities in Scandinavia, Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal and Ireland as a result of European Union and Council of Europe contract labor agreements to recruit Belarusian and Ukrainian workers in the late 2000s.
The World Association of Belarusians based in Minsk is the international organization uniting people of Belarusian descend from around the world. The government of the short-lived Belarusian Democratic Republic is in exile since 1919 and acts as a consolidating centre for many Belarusians abroad, especially in North America and Western Europe (i.e., Belgium and Switzerland).
Several thousand Belarusian refugees and soldiers of the Anders Army landed in France after World War II. They established a Belarusian cultural and religious centre in Paris.
Many people from the former Soviet union migrate to France to date.
The Belarusian minority in Russia consists mainly of emigrants from Belarus during Soviet times and the times of the Russian Empire as well as of remainders of the indigenous Belarusian population of the regions of Smolensk and Bryansk, now largely assimilated. According to official 2002 census, over 800 thousand Russians identified themselves as people of Belarusian descent. The number drastically declined from over 1 million just a decade before (the 1991 Soviet Census) due to processes of assimilation, and factors affecting the population decline in Russia such as low birthrate and high death rate caused by the economic hardships of the 1990s. Most Russian Belarusians live in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Siberia.
Poland is home to a shrinking Belarusian minority that was part of the larger Białystok Voivodeship; annexed by Joseph Stalin in 1939 and incorporated into the Belarusian SSR, and only returned to Poland after World War II. Aside from that, a stream of Belarusian immigrants has been coming into Poland from the 1990s, including political immigrants and Belarusian Poles. Now there are also Belarusian communities in larger cities like Warsaw and Krakow.
According to censuses of early 20th century, Belarusians consisted a majority in the region of Vilnius. As the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the city has historically been the centre of Belarusian cultural life. In 1939 the region of Vilnius was transferred to Belarus, but later was given away to the Republic of Lithuania. Nowadays there is only a small Belarusian minority in Lithuania, consisting primarily of Soviet times migrants and post-Soviet emigres, including political refugees. The Belarusian and Polish-Lithuanian communities sought more representation in the Lithuanian government, as well the mass movement of Belarusian contract laborers via Poland into Western Europe in the 2000s.
United States[edit]
Belarusian immigrants have been coming to the US since the 19th century. A large group of Belarusian immigrants from Belarus were Belarusian Jews, who came to the country in late 19th century and early 20th century. An other wave of refugees came after World War II. It is difficult to estimate the real number of Americans of Belarusian descent because immigrants from Belarus were often classified as Poles or Russians (sometimes Lithuanians, i.e., Litviny), or sometimes as Ukrainians.
Belarusian immigrants have been coming to Canada since the 19th century. An other wave of refugees came after World War II. It is difficult to estimate the real number of Canadians of Belarusian descent because immigrants from Belarus were often classified as Poles or Russians (sometimes Lithuanians, i.e., Litviny), or sometimes as Ukrainians. According to the 2011 Census there were 8,050 Canadians who claimed Belarusian ancestry.[1]
Great Britain[edit]
Several thousand Belarusian refugees and soldiers of the Anders Army landed in Great Britain after World War II. They established a Belarusian cultural and religious centre in London. In 1971 the Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum was founded. Nowadays it is the largest Belarusian library outside Belarus.
The First organized Belarusian diaspora in Argentina appeared in the 1st half of the 20th century. It used to be one of the most numerous Belarusian diasporas abroad, counting between 10 and 20 thousand people. Almost all Belarusian immigrants of that time came to Argentina from Poland-occupied West Belarus. Unlike in other western countries, Belarusian organizations in Argentina were pro-Soviet and fell under influence of the Soviet embassy. There was a wave or repatriation to the Belarusian SSR in 1956.[2]
In Ukraine, the number of Belarusians is estimated at over 275,000 (the 2001 Ukrainian Census)[3] Most of the Belarusians diaspora in Ukraine appeared as a result of the migration of Belarusians to the Ukrainian SSR during the Soviet Union. Lviv has been an important center of Belarusian social and cultural life during the Russian Empire and interwar Poland. There are now Belarusian organizations in major cities like Lviv, Sevastopol in the Crimea, and others. A notable Ukrainian of Belarusian descent is Viktor Yanukovych, the fourth president of Ukraine.

If you want to plant pasture grass seed this fall, don't wait for rain, says Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri (MU) Extension forage specialist.
"When it's time to plant, drill the seed. The seeds will wait; when you get rain, you'll have grass." Waiting for rain will delay planting and lower changes of strong grass stands before winter, he says.
Kallenbach plants thousands of acres of grass paddocks at MU research centers each year and has had "only a couple of minor failures."
He suggests planting by mid-September and advocates no-till drilling. Drilled seed goes into ground where all old growth and weeds were killed, and that reduces competition for water and nutrients. Dead residue slows soil erosion and speeds rain intake, too.
Before planting, however, calibrate drills to the right planting depth. Start planting, but stop and double check that seeds are planted shallow enough, he advises.
Two years ago, in a dry fall, Kallenbach planted during the first week of September into a bone-dry field. When it didn't rain the entire month, he started to worry. Then, in October, rain arrived. "The grass came up; we had a fine stand."
Kallenbach will speak at his plots during a Sept. 25 field day at the MU Forage Systems Research Center in Linneus. Tours start at 9 a.m. and end by noon. For details, go to the research center's website or call 660-895-5121.

I dunno what is the rave about this brand. The coverage of the foundation is too thick for me. I look fake. The coverage is slightly more than Shiseido's powder foundation. And lastly, it broke me out pretty bad.

I bought it just so that I will have something to put into my anna sui powder cases, it sorta leaves flakes on my face sometimes, but then some other times it's blend in quite well and brigthen up my face pretty well. (I got the shade 200)
I love the cases (I collect them!) much better than the refill...

I've been using this for some years until I found a better compact by Chanel. The reasons I switched were because it cakes when I perspire and gave me a blotchy look. I had a job that required traveling outdoors for a while and this blotchy look it gave really annoyed me. Also the shade I always bought was often out of stock, especially at times I needed most. Chanel's powder compact has a sheer finish, does not thicken with perspiration and looks totally natural on me. As for packaging, I dropped the Anna Sui compact once and it broke at the joint. The purple sponge needs frequent cleaning which is a pain in humid climates because the strange flock material doesn't dry properly at the core.

Anna Sui compact powdery foundation is the best! It really covers up all red/brown spots seamlessly.
I don't get pimples often so I just need something to make my skin look smooth and flawless.
This foundation does the job better than Shiseido (which is too cakey).
I just wish it was sold in more places....

I love the packaging. I got it in Dolly Girl, which is an limited edition and it looks so chic. The foundation powder itself provides a good coverage. It does not flake at all. I love wearing this foundation powder in University when I have early classes. A few puffs on my face and I look alive and fresh. Foundations just takes too much time for me so this product is a must have if you are a zombie like me at night who loves a little more sleep in the morning.

I just love this stuff for its ease of use and buildable ,matte coverage. I'm a nc20, 40 yr, combo skin. I've been using p04. It covers all my major imperfections--broken ,red capillaries and age spots. I just put on lots of sunscreen(la roche posay spf 60) and pat this powder on top. I don't need cover up or anything else. It is very matte. So, if you prefer foundations with more satiny or shiny finishes, this one will not work for you. As I get more tanned, I'm going to try p05 and maybe b02.

The compact is really gorgeous, but it broke easily when it accidentally dropped. The sponge is awful! It absorbs the foundation already on your face and makes it look really streaky and cakey. I didn't like the powder much either, it was way too drying for my skin, and accentuated/made new flakes. If I could find another type of powder to fit inside the compact, as well as a sponge, I would give this another lippie. Maybe.

I'm a dark-skinned asian, and its always difficult to find powder/foundation that looks blends with my skin tone. I'm using 3F...it blends evenly and makes me look flawless! Medium coverage and I think its good for normal to oily skin, it doesn't make me break out. People can't even tell that I have makeup on...its really that natural. I can wear it throughout the day without needing to apply often. Comes with a beautiful case as well. Would definitely purchase this again.

I loooovvvvve this powder. Was kinda iffy about getting this together with the cute black compact with the rose on it. Wanted to road test it first if it was okay so I just got the 'refill' pan. And it works great. What I like about it is it's an absolute dream to blend, not chalky or powdery on my face, and covers up all those pesky pores like a dream. It's really more of a foundation than powder so the name is really accurate. On my oily skin, I didn't have any problems breaking out. I do have to reapply around mid-day because I'm extremely oily. I've use up 90% of the pan and would like to get the black rose compact. :)

The name says it all, it's a powdery foundation to be sure. I LOVE the compact & puff though, so much that I bought those separately for use with other powders, however, this particular powder itself was way too dry, chalky & yes, powdery. Perfect for that uber pale matte goth look if you're going for that, or if you have young and/or more normal skin than I. It made my combo skin (dry cheeks) look that much more so, not good. The shade I had (the lightest one, as usual, for my PPP NC15 skin) was a good match & didn't oxidize later. In fact, I probably could have even gone to the next shade, if not for the overwhelming powdery-ness and rose scent I wasn't wild about. It has decent coverage and was easy to apply & blend for the most part, but I didn't wear it long enough to see if it broke me out, which I was expecting due to the fragrance.

Excalibur 1066 Lancelot
"dry and poor draw"
Excalibur 1066 Lancelot
I just got these as part of a sampler pack. Having smoked them in the past, I was in for a treat, or so I thought. I lit one up in the back yard, and after about 25 minutes of trying to get a good draw on it, I gave up and chucked it in the fire pit. I still have 4 more to go in the pack, so maybe this was just an anomaly I will try the rest and rate again, but for now, I am disappointed.

"One great cigar!"
Excalibur 1066 Merlin
Ordered a five pack and they aged for about 3 months. I pulled one out to smoke while I played poker with the guys the other night, and man was I blown away! I had read review in other places that made this cigar out to be "not for the faint of heart." It was the opposite, this cigar is for everyone! Smooth, tasty, great construction, amazing burn/ draw. Burned perfectly even the whole way through, and no re-lights! I bought these to share, now nobody is laying a hand on my Excalibur 1066's!
Kyle M. in Morgan Hill, CA August 1, 2010
"A very nice medium to full, peppery cigar"
Excalibur 1066 Merlin
The Excalibur 1066 is nice change of pace from the standard Excalibur. Just as smooth, but with a nice medium-to-full spicy and peppery flavor. A great choice when you want something with good flavor, but not a big powerful maduro.
Robert in Honolulu, HI April 21, 2010
"Light, sweet, and pleasant"
Excalibur 1066 Galahad
These definitely need some aging time. The first stick I tried had a crazy amount of bitterness to it. After 3 weeks in the humi though, these are amazing. The are mild, with a huge amount of sweetness that builds throughout the pallet. I caught some vanilla in there, and some cedar toward the end of it. All in all, very pleasant.
Cory March 4, 2010
"Incredible smoke!"
Excalibur 1066 King Arthur
I've been looking for a reasonable priced ($2-$4) cigar that's not too strong but not a hard draw either. The Excalibur 1066 is perfect! Flavorful, easy on the mouth/throat and a very even burn. Can't recommend enough!
Marshall in Dallas July 8, 2009
Excalibur 1066 Merlin
I recently ordered a 5 pack of these excellent smokes and the day I smoked the last one I ordered a full box. Each of the 5 I smoked burned razor straight, filled my mouth with tons of smoke and tasted exquisite. At 3 bucks a stick (when ording a box) you can't beat this cigar for an "every day" or "go to" cigar. Highly recommend!
Joel in Stephenville, Texas April 3, 2008
"I don't get it"
Excalibur 1066 Galahad
Nice enough looking cigar, but little or no taste. This came as a single from a shop with a big humi room, so I don't think condition is an issue.
Bill Taylor in NJ January 19, 2008
"I?m very disappointed"
A friend gave me a box of these as a present. (He did not get them from Famous the boob!) I tried one out of the box and it was very bitter and had no draw. I left them in the humidor for a month and tried one again. No change. It had an easier draw, but the flavor was even worse than I had remembered. I smoke quite a few cigars and enjoy the original Excalibur; however I am disappointed in the 1066.

Fall is the season for celebrity sex tapes! In Touch Weekly celebrity snoops claim a Britney Spears sex tape could be on it's way to the highest bidder. An unknowing Britney Spears was reportedly taped having sex with a twenty-eight year old Hawaiian resident she met while on vacation at the Four Seasons Hotel on the Kona-Kohala Coast last June 7th
The Hawaiian met Britney in the bar at 1 a.m., they partyed for a while, and capped off the night be doing the mattress mambo back in Britney's room.
In fact, the only thing keeping the sex tape off the market is the fact that Spears' male co-star is ashamed of his own performance!
"It was just normal, we didn't do anything crazy," the unidentified male tells In Touch of his taped tryst in a bungalow with Brit. "It was a little disappointing. It lasted for about 25 minutes and then we passed out."

Android Pelvis
Hi!! I am not currently pregnant, but I have had 2 babies, both born by c-section.
The first was induced and after stalling out at 7 cm with a cervical swelling I had a c-section.
The second I went for a VBAC with a group of midwives. I had contractions for 2 weeks before my water broke. Once it broke my contractions stopped. 12 hours later we decided to start pit for an hour to get things going. Once labor was good and going they turned the pit off.
I labored standing, while rotating my hips, squatting on a birth ball or toilet, hands and knees. The contractions were very strong, almost unbearable and towards the end I could feel my body pushing on its own.
After 7 hours of this very strong labor I was complete but baby hadn't even gotten into the pelvic inlet. My midwife said that I had a very small android pelvis after she felt around for a few minutes.
We would like to have another baby but I would also like to find out if there is anything at all I can do about my pelvis shape and size and try again for a VBAC. Any and all information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Gail's response:
You are on quite a journey. I can't promise a vaginal birth next time, as I don't know the degree of challenge you face with your brim. Many women with android pelvises may have their first baby cesarean and the next vaginally.
Balance is the beginning of all possibilities.
I would expect you will need expert body work for your neck, jaw, and pelvis. Psoas release and better birth support.
Another aspect that may likely help will be growing a healthy but small baby. Eat for your type and eat enough calories!! Don't starve, that's not what I mean!
But skip the whites (white sugar, white flour, white potatos and white rice), all sugar/honey, and keep grains to a serving or two a day. LImit dairy to one serving, plus a pad of butter.
Water, salt-to-taste, and supplements are all important.
So since you will be eating enough healthy calories, you will have to move and keep moving to attain a healthy yet smaller baby. We want the baby to be perfectly healthy and strong and full term.
Just, not corn and sugar fed.
An LOA baby position to start labor will help. Movement and freedom in labor with good support will be important.
Open the brim and hope for engagement by 38 weeks or by a few hours into labor
Allow for a long pushing stage and monitor for progress. Electrolyte drinks and eating in 2nd stage can help.
Have your attendant skilled in helping out the shoulders as well as supporting a long second stage to be prepared in case baby's shoulders need help, which is somewhat more likely with an android pelvis, but still not common.
Starting labor is beneficial even with another cesarean, but with this plan if your brim is really ok you can certainly make it. I've helped many women in this situation have a vaginal birth. It may be work, but labor will be blessed work. Please follow Divine guidance and not ideology, which is to include listening for what is really needed at the time.
Please let me know how it goes for you.

I love scents like these, just a beautiful mixture of florals. I dont like it personally as a perfume, but I do love smelling it.
Different scent reminds me of certain times/events or paints a certain mental picture in my mind, and this scent in particular reminded me of my mom when she was younger, every morning putting on her makeup, and I would be running around outside her bedroom door watching her do that.
This scent is quiet warm and strong, and it can be offensive/overpowering if you spray too much on. I myself only use this a airfreshner, and the only time I restock it is when it comes as a free gift with any Estee Lauder purchases.

I'm really surprised by how much I like this. It smelt horrible on the card but the SA kind of insisted it was better suited to my age group than Knowing or whatever the other EL fragrance was I was sampling at the time. I think it is described as a rosy aldehyde.
It is basically a lovely rose scent. Sweet but not too sweet. The idea behind this is that when you are wearing it you are meant to feel like the most beautiful woman in the room - I say woman, not girl! This is floral but a classy floral and very very beautiful! (Plus the scent seems to last forever on your skin!)
I'm not fussed by the packaging but that is secondary to the issue of the perfume and I tend to keep my bottles out of sight!

I recieved a tester of this recently. As soon as it's applied it's quite strong but after an hour or so it turns into a pretty non-offensive floral scent.
I can see how people could say it reminds them of old ladies. But i find it sophisticated, classy. Its a clean smell and kind of smells like soap IMO , mixed with unidentifiable flowers. I like other perfumes better than this so i would not repurchase but i wouldn't mind if i had this in my collection. Be careful not to over spray and enjoy smelling of a summers day.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After much insistence from my mother, I gave this a try. It's a decent fragrance, but it seemed a bit dull. When I wear a floral scent, I want to be able to distinguish at least one particular flower, but this seemed like a couple of random bouquets got thrown together. However, it is a light and perfectly pleasant fragrance.
ugh i received this as a wedding gift, and i hated it. Old lady perfume,eww thats exactly how it smells. musky and pungent, i feel nauseous when i smell it. I remembered to leave a review on this because i was standing next to some lady in the post office and she reeked of this garbage!!!!
This stuff is.....strong!! I can see how this heavy floral scent can be easily over applied, because IMO even one spray is too much. I wore this recently cause I have a sample spray vial of it. I remember my mom loving this in the 90s, but to me its reeks of mature woman (like 50 and over). It does smell considerably better on the dry down a bunch of hours later. Too heavy and potent for my taste.
ickkk. Smells like a cheap perfume from a drug store! I've only met one person that smelt really good in this stuff.
This was my first "grown up" perfume-a gift from my grandma when I was 16. I don't know why this generates so many negative old lady comments-I'm 38 and love it. Stop the hating on older ladies in reviews-they teach us plenty, and besides what's wrong with smelling like a sophisticated woman?
I've used this over the years as my signature fragrance and always get lots of complements-and men love it too. My husband always buys this for me as one of our anniversary gifts, he loves it and says it reminds him of when we were dating. (I know, gag, lol)

I like this. I suppose I'm younger (16) than what the targeted age group is. I mean, it's a very classic smell and I make sure not to spray on too much at once. My mother gave it to me after I told her that I liked it.
