5 Stocks Under $10 Ready to Explode
DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- There isn't a day that goes by on Wall Street when certain stocks trading for $10 a share or less don't experience massive spikes higher. Traders savvy enough to follow the low-priced names and trade them with discipline and sound risk management are banking ridiculous coin on a regular basis.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Just take a look at some of the hot movers in the under-$10 complex from Thursday, including BioFuel Energy (BIOF), which is ripping higher by 33%; LiveDeal (LIVE), which is soaring higher by 27%; SGOCO Group (SGOC), which is jumping to the upside by 17%; and GenVec (GNVC), which is moving higher by 7%. You don't even have to catch the entire move in lower-priced stocks such as these to make outsized returns when trading.
One low-priced stock that recently made a huge run after I featured it was technology solutions player Rambus (RMBS), which I highlighted in Feb. 20's 5 Stocks Under $10 Ready to Explode at $1.27 per share. I mentioned in that piece that shares of Rambus of were starting to spike higher off its 50-day moving average at that time of $9.12 a share. That spike was beginning to push shares of RMBS within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above some key overhead resistance levels at $9.73 to $9.81 a share.
Guess what happened? Shares of RMBS didnt wait long to trigger that breakout, since the stock busted out above those levels a few weeks later. This stock has gone on to make an incredible move higher even during the recent market decline, with shares of RMBS tagging an intraday high today of $12.50 a share. That represents a massive gain of well over 30% from the time I featured this stock. The best part about this move is the clean uptrend you'll see on the chart for RMBS as the stock marched higher over the last few months. Low-priced stocks are something that I tweet about on a regular basis. I frequently flag high-probability setups, breakout candidates and low-priced stocks that are acting technically bullish. I like to hunt for low-priced stocks that are showing bullish price and volume trends, since that increases the probability of those stocks heading higher. These setups often produce monster moves higher in very short time frames. >>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings When I trade under-$10 names, I do it almost entirely based off of the charts and technical analysis. I also like to find under-$10 names with a catalyst, but that's secondary to the chart and volume patterns. With that in mind, here's a look at several under-$10 stocks that look poised to potentially trade higher from current levels.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Virtual Receptionist is a versatile tool that can do everything from directing incoming calls to sharing important information such as your business operating ...
Cutting costs is always a good way to stay on budget. Finding a virtual assistant is even better. The beauty of a virtual assistant is that you can give your customers a live person with every call. In a world of "press 1 for… and say yes or no…", customers want someone live at the other end of the line. For less than what you would pay an in-house receptionist at an hourly minimum wage, you can keep your budget in check and make your customers happier. Pricing plans will vary with every company, as well as the services they offer.
Included Services
Many virtual receptionist businesses provide different variations on the same services.
· Tiered level of receptionist minutes. Depending on what you need, you can choose anywhere from 100 to 1,000 receptionist minutes.
· Customized greeting catered to your business. This leads the customer to believe they are calling your office directly.
· Unlimited voicemail minutes.
· Call forwarding to the appropriate member in your office.
· Message taking.
Across the board, these are the basic services provided. If a company you are interested in does not, inquire further. With so many companies to choose from, don't go with one that will short change you on critical benefits.
Extra Features
Virtual receptionists can do more than simply take and forward phone calls. Depending on your needs, you can get a receptionist that offers a variety of administrative tasks for you. While these features will differ with each company, you find various forms from business to business.
· Appointment and calendar scheduling.
· Lead qualifying and current client appointment reminders.
· Hold music; though it seems simple, it could make a difference in the quality of calls for your customers and help maintain your professional image.
· Voicemails sent to e-mail in audio format for easy transfer of information.
· Create private message for VIP customers. This will give a level of personalization for important callers and reduce your use of receptionist minutes.
Pricing Plans
Every company is going to vary in pricing and packages. While some may offer duties above and beyond the average choices, others may offer base features for a lower cost. Most commonly you'll find price packages based on what services are offered. You pay for a set amount of minutes, voicemail time, etc and have overage rates after that. Some services will offer per minute pricing plans. For infrequent use, this might be a better for your budget.
Important Details
Having a virtual assistant is a smart option because you can pay minimal for good service. You want the service to be as seamless as if you had someone sitting at a desk in front of your office. Going through a virtual service should not rob you of these basic skills. Yet, not every company provides you with high quality receptionists and necessary receptionist abilities. Before deciding on your virtual receptionist, consider a few final thoughts.
· Does the company offer training? If not, do they hire only professional receptionists? It is important to inquire about their hiring qualifications, which will allow you to decipher quality.
· Are there contracts involved? Most companies put you on a month to month plan. If you need to sign a contract, inquire about a trial period to ensure the receptionists will suit your needs before getting locked in.
· Ask for reference calls. By listening to previous conversations you can infer how the company speaks with clients.
· How do they communicate with you and your company? Some great features are mobile applications and members areas within the website.
Your office could be immediately saving money by hiring a virtual receptionist. You can find this service through companies that offer receptionist services from a remote calling center. Though it sounds like this would provide an impersonal interaction, it can actually do the opposite. You can create a personal interaction between caller and receptionist, for less than you would pay an in-house, minimum wage employee.
Your pricing package will include a various set of duties. You will pay for receptionist minutes, message taking, call forwarding and voicemail. The receptionist provides a friendly, personal greeting to all your callers. A live person answering gives your customers the feeling of small office business, even if that is not the case. Other features include voicemails sent to you via email or text in audio format, and unlimited talk time once the call is transferred into the office.
Investing in a monthly virtual receptionist plan is a smart way to pay minimal for top of line answering service. Before making your decision, inquire about hiring qualifications, contracts and previous phone calls for reference. Though there are many businesses offering these services, feel free to browse our list of approved virtual receptionist providers.

The cable wall outlet is normally a F connector faceplate mounted on the wall in a room that the TV's located in.
The cable wall outlet would normally look like this and can be white, ivory or brown. The coaxial jumper cable would attach between the wall outlet and the coax input connector on the back of a cable box.
In some cases, there would not be an outlet, but just the coax cable coming out of the wall or floor connecting directly to the cable box.

"Sweet honeydew melon like you eat at the picnic table on a super hot day. Tart and tangy, not flat like some." - I am not a huge melon fan but wanted to try this. Was sweet, but not too sweet - I didn't smell a whole lot of tartness with this, at least not overly so (like how a yuzu can be). Didn't last as long as some of my other AD tarts and not really a me scent so won't buy again.

A few months ago, as I was newly un-unemployed I read the book "Nice Girls Don't Get Rich" hoping that it would inspire me to be frugal and financially responsible. For the most part it didn't; I like shoes and dresses way too much. However, I did learn a few things - for example, not using all of the paid vacation days given to you is not good. Not only are you basically throwing free money down the drain, there are actual health benefits from taking time off: "A 20 year study (The Framingham Heart Study) found that women who took two or more vacations a year cut their chance of a fatal heart attack in half as compared with women who took no vacation." Dr. Lois Frankel
So, long story short, I'm doing myself a favour and taking off to the West Coast for a few days to eat turkey and spend time with family, and these two loveable beasts:
Who can say no to those scrunchy, confused faces?! |
In honour of my fleeing to the wet coast, Petite Adventures is going to feature five days of style profiles showcasing some of Vancouver's most fashionable and inspiring bloggers.

A poured concrete patio divided by wood forms is an attractive alternative to a monolithic concrete slab. In addition to its decorative appearance, this type of surface is easier to create, since the permanent forms divide the concrete pour into four equal sections (or more, as desired).
A poured concrete patio divided by wood forms is an attractive alternative to a monolithic concrete slab. In addition to its decorative appearance, this type of surface is easier to create, since the permanent forms divide the concrete pour into four equal sections (or more, as desired). Each section can be poured and finished before moving on to the next, or you can complete all the quadrants in a day. If you choose the latter, you must watch the poured quadrants carefully and finish them at the proper time, so you'll need a couple of helpers. As an optional addition, this project includes steps for seeding the concrete with small stones, or seeding aggregate, introducing color and texture to the concrete surface. The form lumber used in the project is brown, pressure-treated 2 x 4s, chosen because it's more attractive than most green-treated wood. If green is all you can find, you can color the wood with a compatible stain. In any case, use high-quality lumber rated for ground contact, and avoid the type with visible incise marks on the surface, a result of certain forms of treatment. For bolder grid lines, you can use 4 x 4 lumber instead of 2 x 4, joining the form pieces with galvanized spikes. This four-square patio replaced a small, crumbling slab that had become an eyesore. The new patio combines pressure-treated wood with aggregate to create a natural-looking, durable surface.Construction DetailsThis divided concrete patio includes 4"-thick concrete slabs reinforced internally with 6 x 6" 10/10 welded wire mesh. The mesh is supported by 2" wire bolsters to keep it near the middle of the slab interior. The patio, including the forms, is built upon a 6" subbase of compacted gravel. When planning your patio project, consult your local building department to learn about the following requirements: • Zoning restrictions• Depth of gravel subbase• Concrete composition• Slab thickness and slope• Internal reinforcement (wire mesh, rebar, etc.)• Moisture barrier under slabAdapt the project as shown to meet the local requirements.

Cut along the edges of the quadrant with a concrete edger, then use a wood float to smooth out any marks left behind by the tool.
Option: If you have enough help and your project is small enough, you may want to pour remaining quadrants at this time, repeating steps 7 through 11. Be sure to check poured quadrants periodically: if the surface water has evaporated from the concrete, uncover the quadrants and proceed to step 12.
After all the water has evaporated from the concrete surface, expose the aggregate by misting the surface with water and scrubbing the surface with a stiff-bristled brush. Remove the protective tape from the forms, then recover the quadrants with sheeting and let the concrete cure for one week.
14. After the concrete has cured, rinse and scrub the aggregate again to clean off any remaining residue. Tip: Use diluted muriatic acid to wash off stubborn concrete residue. Read manufacturer's instructions for mixing rations and safety precautions.
After three weeks, seal the patio surface with exposed-aggregate sealer. Reapply sealer periodically as needed, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

This is the first 2009 drivers posts that does not have rumours only. One 2009 F1 seat was confirmed last week – Mark Webber's contract with Red Bull was extended for another year. He will however have new team mate following David Coulthard's retirement announcement. Sebastian Vettel is everybody's candidate …
There are reports that Toyota will confirm their current drivers Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock for next season. It hasn't happened yet though. This would mean that Kazuki Nakajima may stay with Williams for a while longer.
Same as last year a lot seems to depend on the next move by Fernando Alonso. He is not planning to make any announcements before Italian Grand Prix in September and some teams may wait for his situation to clear up before making any moves.
It is unlikely that Rubens Barrichello will be moving to another F1 team, but following his Silverstone performance he still is in a picture for new Honda contract. But whether he gets it or not may depend more on what Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso will be up to. Or will it be Jenson Button making room for Fernando Alonso for the second time ? Ross Brawn is not hiding his desire to have Alonso in Honda one day …
Robert Kubica's future is becoming a topic. He is the hot property and BMW Sauber will need to decide what they do with the option they have on his services for 2009. Some media connect Kubica's future with Ferrari but that is a team that does not have an empty seat at the moment .
Ross Brawn has cooled the speculation that Mike Conway may be on his way to Formula 1 with Honda. He went even further with his comments dashing hopes of many current GP2 drivers:
"His win at Monaco did impress a lot of teams but there are only one or two drivers who make it out of GP2 for next season. You almost need to decimate the championship to become part of a Formula One team. You really have got to be quite exceptional to get there, but I wouldn't turn my back on Mike at Honda though. The difficulty is Formula One is such a high standard and very few drivers make it. I hope he can get there."
There has been also some new talk of future Formula 1 teams.
According to Mario Theissen several car manufacturers are interested in current F1 direction, especially with introduction of road-relevant technologies like KERS. He however mentioned Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche with some Asian manufacturers likely to follow the suit in the near future. He must know something we don't because VW and Audi are one company that Porsche is trying to take over, moreover VW are known not to be too keen on F1 entry … Being interested in direction may not mean the same as being interested in entering …
Then there is the Super Aguri auction. GP2 boss Adrian Campos may be looking to buy the assets of the defunct Formula 1 team. Campos and Alejandro Agag were linked with Super Aguri sale ahead of 2008 season and Campos is said to have had talks about the purchase of the assests before the July 31 auction had been announced. Will it be for his F1 memorabilia collection or is he planning to revive the team ?

Plenty of words in print, online and on t-shirts praised James Yancey bka J Dilla as a premier, yet overlooked, artist since he died seven years ago. We could lament in the fact that he's not here to keep his sound going as is customary around this time of year. However we'd rather celebrate his life and the music he left us for years to come.
Dilla had a knack for making records you felt as well as heard. Moreover, the man's talent matched his prolific output which may bewilder newcomers curious about his sound. Well that's the purpose of this series, ain't it? Get your eyes, mice and ears ready for the latest, special installment of The Primer.
The Primer Series: 10 Essential EPMD Songs | Twista | E-40 | Naughty By Nature | Beastie Boys | DMX | UGK | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony | Big Daddy Kane | DJ Quik | Public Enemy
1. Common - "The Light"
Common's ode to the fairer sex guarantees him a pair of draws after every show for the rest of his life. He says nice things but he's also forever indebted to Dilla's Bobby Caldwell flip. Love songs rarely sound colder than this record.
2. Pharcyde - "Runnin'"
Pharcyde's relatively short run came packed with iconic records and "Runnin'" is near the top of the heap. Also, can you believe Skillz passed on this beat? You know what they say about hindsight.
3. Slum Village - "The Look of Love Pt. 1"
J Dilla regularly made Slum Village sound SO MUCH BETTER than they actually were. Honestly, it's hard to imagine those rhymes sounding greater behind anyone else's production at the time. Such is especially true on "The Look of Love Pt. 1." The song is short on the things that make rap nerds say "ooh" and "ahh" Yet it rides in the face of obscure references and multisyllabic rhyme schemes.
4. Slum Village - "Get Dis Money"
Dilla kept the vibes consistent from Vol. 1 to Vol. 2 to even greater effect on the second go 'round. "Get Dis Money" personifies the audio cool laced throughout SV's follow up.
5. De La Soul - "Stakes is High"
Jay Dee didn't always make smooth songs. He could lend his swing to something fiercer and, as seen on "Stakes is High" the results made necks snap.
6. Slum Village - "Fall In Love"
Is it rap or soul music? Who cares when the end product sounds so nice. I'm usually against rappers singing but J Dilla used his fun pass well here.
7. Janet Jackson - "Got 'til It's Gone"
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are a legendary production duo. They also, in spite of what this song's liner notes suggested, did not make this beat.
The Ummah concocted one of Janet's most soulful records here. J Dilla's work often went without proper credits but, of said snubs, "Got 'til It's Gone" is easily one of the biggest.
8. Pharcyde - "Drop"
"Drop's" swirly sounds makes you feel like you're falling to your doom...until you land on thumping kicks and DAT BASSLINE. The video is pretty neat too.
9. Black Star - "Little Brother"
The story behind this song, as told by Questlove, will inspire some bedroom beat makers and compel others to throw their gear out the window. It almost sounds like urban legend until you hear the source material and shake your head.
10. J-Dilla - "So Far To Go ft. Common and D'Angelo"
The production on Donuts signified a stark change in how Dilla approached his song making. The switch rang especially true when you heard "Bye." It's a shame he didn't live long enough to build his new found approach. However, from "Bye's" transformation to "So Far To Go," it was clear his altered sampling techniques headed into promising territory.

If you like car shows in a hot asphalt parking lot; then this show is not for you.
If you like car shows where most of the attendees are the owners of the other cars at the show; then this show is not for you.
If you like car shows that charge you extra for coffee, donuts, drinks, kettle corn and more; then this show is not for you.
But if you like car shows located in a the center of a beautiful park, surrounded by thousands college age admirers; a show where you are not charged for all the "extras", and show limited to 125 cars, with over 30 awards; then THIS IS YOUR SHOW.
Sixteen years ago, we made a commitment, to always make this a "your show". We realized that we could not have a car show if car owners did not attend. Based on that spirit, we have maintained a low entry fee ($25.00).
We offer each participant morning coffee with a donut, lunch (TBD), soft drinks and bottled Arrowhead water, Kettle Corn, Ice Cream, and 31 awards.
This event is again being held in conjunction with CELEBRATE UCI (the campus wide open house), AND WAYZGOOSE, (a medieval theme festival of student clubs). These three events will bring thousands of spectators to the car show, so be prepared.
If you have any questions contact us at email@example.com
or call (949) 510-2951. Hope to see you there!!!
Early registration will ensure your space. Space is limited to the first 125 cars.
Registration FULLY REFUNDABLE prior to April 5th. CLICK HERE for a 2014 registration form.

Quotable Lyrics
"Yeah girl it's on
You know what it is when I finally make it home
I just hope you miss me a little when I'm gone
Yeah I just hope you miss me a little when I'm gone
And you just tell me what you down for, anythin' you down for
I know things have changed, know I used to be around more
But you should miss a little when I'm gone
I just hope you miss me a little when your gone"


text: I'm a noobie so pardon a dumb question. I have a new UGB OWB holster and the leather seems prety stiff. I get that my gun will get some wear regardless, but I don't want to speed up the process by using an unusually hard holster. Are they all stiff/hard when new?

Attention to Detail
Classic Elegance Rectangle Invitations MagnetStreet's attention to detail noticed an error on my wedding invitations I ordered. They called me right away and fixed the issue before printing-- saved me hundreds of dollars. Not their job but they took the time to go the extra mile and I will only do business with them going forward. THANK YOU!
Classic Elegance Rectangle Invitations The invitations we perfect! Everyone has complemented us on them!
Elegant Invitation
Classic Elegance Rectangle Invitations The invitations we ordered are extremely elegant and appropriate for our casual but classic church wedding. I was thrilled with the detail and the ability to customize the entire invitation! My complaints would be the quality of the envelope - they are extremely thin where I was looking for a heavier envelope. Also, the font color on the invitation was not exactly how I believe I ordered it. It alternated between dark brown (my choice) and black (the default color). I believe I changed all the font myself to dark brown when creating the invitation - however, this could have been my error. Luckily the dark brown I chose and black are very similar so it isn't noticeable unless really looking.
Great Magnet
Classic Elegance Save the Date Magnets Magnet Street was fantastic! This product was exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to personalize our magnet and I loved that you could order just one so you could see it before placing the entire order. I would totally recommend this to anyone who is looking for a magnet save the date!

Broke in the CM9 this weekend (200 rounds). Cleaned/oiled then today tested 50 rounds of target ammo then 20 rounds of Cor-Bon 115 gr +P JHP, no issues. Same Cor-Bon round is in my G19, also no issues after about 30 rounds.
I know I should test a lot more than 20-30 rounds but in the meantime has anyone had any experience/issues with this exact Cor-Bon round in these exact guns?
Thank you.
btw the Kahr handled the +P very well, not as easily as the Glock (obviously) but very controllable.

HELP! My husband and I moved into a new home last fall that the previous owners did absolutely no work to the landscaping. Because of this, the entire back yard and part of the front lawn has been taken over by poison oak. My husband cut down the vines last fall (and got a bad case of poison oak rash in the process). Now that spring has sprung, the vines are coming back. I've been pulling them out by the roots but there is no way I'm going to win this war doing that with the abundance of the stuff. Does anyone out there have a home remedy to get rid of the stuff??? I'm ready to buy contractor size amounts of round-up but would like to plant other things where it is and would hate to put that amount of chemicals into the ground. Any help would be appreciated!
Where the vines are thick, cut the vine, and then paint the remaining stump with full strength round-up. For the small stuff, either hand-pull, or use something like round-up that only kill stuff that it hits. You're probably less likely to do long-term damage this way. Don't plant anything until you're reasonably sure that there are no baby nasties growing; it makes it incredibly hard to remove them when they're mixed in with good plants that you want to keep.
Thanks Suja,
I have never seen so much of the stuff in my life! We have a 1/2 acre of land and every fence surrounding it is covered and the surrounding ground is covered as well. It's going to take forever to pull the stuff, but my husband has at least tackled the large amounts. Since I'm not allergic to the stuff (or very lucky) I'm in charge of erradicating the stuff now that it's a little under control. The area that we are trying to get rid of it is our back yard which should be a lawn once the vines are gone. How long before the areas treated with Round-up will be able to be planted and grow? I've never used the stuff...
I'd recommend Brush-B-Gone for poison oak and poison ivy. None us want to use chemicals in our yards, but this one will work the first time. I had success with it on poison ivy in my yard 5 years ago, and nothing has come back.
Even thought you're not allergic,(yet), I hope you are using gloves, covering your arms and washing up carefully after your outings :-)
ABSOLUTELY! I won't even let my dog come play with me in the stuff since I'm so worried the ivy might get on her and transfer to my husband who seems to be a magnet for it. Thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't believe the state of the yard when we bought it. I've never seen poison ivy growing in a front yard before! The people we bought the house from probably sold it because of the work outside that was going untouched! The good news was that under all the poison oak were lots of unused 6x6's I can use for my raised garden beds!!!
I'm not sure if my trick worked but last year I was fighting Poison Oak. I 1st strayed it with Weed-B-Gone in mid summer because I didn't want to kill the grass. It looked to have worked on most of it. What came back up, I used Roundup.
Last month, I went out to clear the, hopefully, dead vines that were hanging. Most all seems completely dried out and dead. Now, I'm waiting for the weather to warm up to see if any comes back.
Keep your fingers crossed for me that I won't have to deal with any of it this year.
BTW, some of the vines were almost as thick as my wrist!
My house had poison ivy growing up through the shrubs onto the roof. I thought I had these great, weeping trees along the fence line, but that turned out to be huge vines that grew up the fence poses so tall they wept down. An Oak tree at the front had vines thicker than my husband's thigh, which he hacked with a chain saw. I swear the stuff lives on air.
However, perseverence and Round-Up, pulling out the roots of everything I could has kept it at bay. I get it from the dirt the roots were in, so here's something for your husband that has helped me stave off more steroid-resistant episodes. That stuff burns my skin to the point the dermatologist thought I'd been scaled.
If I know I'm going into the ivy, I take Dawn dishwashing liquid and rub it into my skin. Dawn isn't just soap, it's a degreaser and poison ivy and oak are oils.
When I know I've been in poison ivy, like when I mow and the grass blows down my shirt and I get poison ivy down my torso, grinding it into my butt as I ride 3 hours on the lawn mower? I come in and rub Lava, Lever, or Dawn all over myself. I wait a few minutes then shower.
If I do this within the hour, no ivy. If I wait until I get off the mower? Trouble. That's why rub degreasing soap all over me before I get on the mower.
All the other sure-fire remedies were hoo-ha. Oh - there is one thing that I found that works later and gets rid of the darned itch. I can't think of it, but it's something like Xantec, Xanex, Xtec or something. It is granulated, so when you're itching, rubbing that stuff on yourself is almost, ah, well, you should get a room.
But have him try the soap. Don't be stingy and just get used to feeling weird. It's worth it not to suffer through that God-awful itch and burn.
Welcome to Maryland. Did you know the English imported it and Briar rose? They also used to grow it in their gardens, where women gardening would get it, but since it didn't appear until later, the doctors put it off to "having the vapors." Just some of the many fun facts I've learned about that horror.
It's $39.00 around here and worth every, stinkin' penny.
I was rereading this thread and agree completely on the Brush-B-Gone. Round-Up is for foliage. Brush-B-Gone works on the woody stems of, well, Brush! The thick stems of the ivies fall into that category. So paint it liberally up and down the stems. Then, have a squirter or something handy for the resiliant roots that will pop up leaves.
I, like Cynthia, have been diligent in watching for ivy. I launched a campaign in 2003 to get rid of it. I was pretty successful, but even this week I found where it was popping up under a plant I was weeding. I'd rather put my hand on a slug or into a snake's mouth that touch that stuff.
Anyway, I hope you're having success and your husband is well coated with soap!
Lot's of good info above. Both Roundup (glyphosate) and Brush-B-Gone (triclopr) are good to use. Combining the highest concentrate of Roundup (18%), you can find 40+% sometimes at Ag stores and triclopr will usually dispatch the poison ivy/oak in a single application. Here's the real trick ... first spray the poison ivy/oak with a water soluable fert like Miracle Grow. Then come back 3 days later and use your solution of Roundup and Brush-B-gone. The hotter the day the better ... dead to the roots in no time. If you have a lawn that has a lot of poison ivy and oak the you may want to do this in the fall (august) and do a complete renovation with seeding etal in September. The Roundup (glyphosate) will not translocate and the triclopr will become inorganic within 10-14 days at the most.
Good luck!!
It was also my understanding that essentially, if it rains, it's dissolved into the ground.
I actually spilled a 4 gallon container (my pull-sprayer) on a great part of my lawn. I freaked, then got the hose and watered, watered, watered. I didn't lose any grass. Or weeds.
Something else I learned. If you want Round-up or Brush-b-Gone to work on slick surfaced leaves such as ivy or that awful, prickly runner vine that takes over trees? And oiled surfaces such as PI, of course? You put a few squirts of a degreasing liquid detergent into the mix. It causes it to stick to the slick leaves and etches through the oil on the greasy ones, to stay on the surface longer and to get to the surface more quickly, respectively.
Round-Up is my friend.
so, once the R-Up has killed the PI, what/how does one get rid of the dead branches, etc without exposing sensitive skin to the residual oils.. I am conquering a new bed area this year and there is enough PI to be of concern.. The R-Up is doing a great job... but...
thanks for any suggestions,
>> I actually spilled a 4 gallon container (my pull-sprayer) on a great part of my lawn. I freaked, then got the hose and watered, watered, watered. I didn't lose any grass. Or weeds. Round-up package mentions its good to go even with rain after 2hrs. So your flooding the area to disperse the chemical seemed to work. Good for you!
Your correct about the dish soap. It's called a surfactant/sticker that is especially good for glossy leaves as you mentioned.
As for glasslady21102 ... >> what/how does one get rid of the dead branches, etc without exposing sensitive skin to the residual oils. Bob
I spent many years dealing with poison ivy. I found that Technu worked as well as Zanfel on me - at a much cheaper price. I also learned when to admit defeat and go to the doctor when I had a bad case of it.
Also, Ivy Block Lotion, applied before getting into the ivy patch, will protect you. No matter how careful I was, I used to get PI on my wrists where my gloves stopped.
You're lucky, graywings.
My first bout with PI was so bad it was steroid resistant, but shots and pills.
I ended up on tranquilizers and treatment for 3rd degree burns. People don't realize PI Urshiol is a chemical, which causes chemical burns. Hence the blistering.
I'm just glad in the areas in which I work, at least, are pretty clear.
I'm a new member and live in Balto County on 1.3 acres, about 1/4 - 1/3 wooded. I picked my screen name because that's what I feel like, trying to eradicate Tree of Heaven and PI from my woods. A couple questions I thought I would throw out...
1. My PI is mostly young because of my earlier work. Big leaves and skinny little vines. If RU works on the leaves and BBG works on the stems, aren't I better off using RU for younger plants? I know there are differing opinions on the best treatment, but I'm thinking the age and stem size might enter into the decision making process.
2. These chemicals are supposedly broken down by water. What happens when concentrate is mixed in water and then sits?
3. Among a couple sprayers, I use a white semi-translucent sprayer. Somewhere in my net wanderings, I read that BBG (Triclopyr), I think, has a http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/nr/fid/pubsweb/tri.pdf
I'm wondering about that in relation to my white somewhat translucent sprayer. Could be wasting my time after it sits around for awhile, especially in sunlight. IOW, I'm trying to fine tune my handling, storage and usage. I don't see that discussed in the threads I read here, nor is the label a lot of help.
I did my previous spraying with Spectracide Brush Killer, which I no longer see at Home Depot. So I got the Ortho. It's too soon to see how this year's spraying went, but after about 5-7 days, I wasn't greatly impressed, which is why I'm thinking about trying RU.
1) yes, exactly. You are correct. The stems aren't woody yet.
2) so far, for me, nothing. However, if I end up overwintering some, I just add some fresh RU to the mix rather than wasting it.
3) I don't know if it breaks down if it's left in the sun, though. I keep min in the dark garage, just in case. So far, in the same season, I"m fine.
The thing is, don't give up. I swear by RU, simply because it's worked for me so well. I do know you need to keep it away from wet areas, because reptiles and amphibians die from it. You wouldn't want to kill off your turtles, snakes or frogs!
Good luck. Hang in there. It'll become so sparse that you will spot a new sprout immediately, become enraged, and murder it appropriately. Plantacide is approprite in these instances!!

School meal kills 22 in India's Bihar state
At least 22 children have died and dozens more have fallen ill after eating lunch at a school in the eastern Indian state of Bihar.
The poisoning occurred in the village of Dharmasati Gandaman, 80km (50 miles) north of the state capital, Patna.
The free Mid-Day Meal Scheme aims to tackle hunger and boost attendance in schools, but suffers from poor hygiene.
Angry parents joined protests against the deaths, setting at least four police vehicles on fire.
An inquiry has begun and 200,000 rupees ($3,370) in compensation offered to the families of each of the dead.
Twenty-eight sick children were taken to hospitals in the nearby town of Chhapra after the incident and later were moved to Patna.
A total of 47 students of the primary school fell sick on Tuesday after eating the free lunch.
'Food poisoning'There are fears the number of dead could rise as some of the children, all below the age of 12, are critically ill.
The father of one sick child, Raja Yadav, said his son had been vomiting after returning from school and had to be rushed to hospital.
In a country where nearly half of the children are undernourished and struggle to go to school, the school meal programme is a weapon to tackle hunger and illiteracy
Economists believe the programme bolsters primary school enrolment and attendance, eliminates hunger, enables children from diverse class and caste backgrounds to share a meal together and bury social prejudices, and provides children with hygiene and nutritional education.
There is enough evidence to prove, they say, that the programme, by and large, has been a success.
That's precisely why the deaths of more than 20 school children after consuming contaminated free meals in Bihar state is shocking.
The state education minister, PK Shahi, told the BBC a preliminary investigation indicated that the food was contaminated with traces of phosphorous.
"The doctors who have attended are of the tentative opinion that the smell coming out of the bodies of the children suggests that the food contained organo-phosphorus, which is a poisonous substance," he said.
"Now the investigators have to find out whether organo-phosphorus was accidental or there was some deliberate mischief."
Earlier, doctors treating the patients had said "food poisoning" was the cause of the deaths.
"We suspect it to be poisoning caused by insecticides in vegetable or rice," Amarjeet Sinha, a senior education official, told the BBC.
A doctor treating the children at a hospital in Patna said contaminated vegetable oil could have led to the poisoning.
Patna-based journalist Amarnath Tewary says villagers told local reporters that similar cases of food poisoning after having Mid-Day Meals had taken place in the area previously.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar called an emergency meeting and ordered a team of forensic experts to the school, which is in Saran district.
Bihar is one of India's poorest and most populous states.
The Mid-Day Meal is the world's largest school feeding programme, reaching 120 million children in 1.2 million schools across the country, according to the government.
Mr Shahi acknowledged "that food is not being checked before it is being served".
He added that "the scale at which the operation is being carried out, serving food to 20 million children every day and that too in remotest village schools, checking food before it is served - that itself is a challenge".
The Mid-Day Meal was first introduced for poor and disadvantaged children in the southern city of Chennai (Madras) in 1925.

I want to share my recent experience of trying out a shortboard as a beginner in his 30s and see whether anyone has any reactions / tips / comments (other than "stop surfing on a shortboard you kook"). Part of the reason I'm posting this is that it's very difficult to get serious advice on the hybrid-to-shortboard transition, especially for those who are still starting off in the sport. I am aware of all the drawbacks of moving to a shortboard early in one's skill development, but I have to say that my experience differed in some marked respects from what I'd heard from various detractors.
First, a bit of background. This is my second season of consistent weekend surfing in New England (along with a couple of brief trips abroad). I'm 35, 185 lbs, 6'1, relatively fit. I'd been surfing on a 7'6 Firewire ADDvance, which has felt very comfortable in every respect, except for the occasional difficulty of getting out the back (like a longboard, it's virtually impossible to duck dive). I can catch most waves, stand up almost every time, and ride down the line, though without too many fancy moves. Recently, however, I got the opportunity to buy a never-used 5'10 CH Weirdo Ripper at 50% off retail price. I couldn't resist the temptation, even though I know that it's crazy to switch to a shortboard as an "advanced beginner" (or whatever I am). I took out the shortboard for the first time yesterday in RI and loved it. The session wasn't without its challenges, but not nearly as many as I'd anticipated. The conditions were chest to head with side-shore wind - not ideal but still fun. Here is the rundown:
- My fear of big waves disappeared. Duck diving is a lifesaver, even when not executed perfectly. Not even the occasional overhead+ wave was a problem to get under.
- Pearling seems to be less of an issue. I worried about it every time I did a steep drop-in, but the pointed nose and weight distribution toward the back of the board prevented this from happening, much to my surprise (even when the nose got submerged a bit).
- The lightness, portability, and maneuverability of board felt liberating. I was in control of the board and not vice versa (this made a difference even when walking down the beach against the wind).
- The traction pad felt great when I managed to land my back foot on it. It felt like my foot was glued to the board and gave me extra confidence that my position on the board was correct. I'm thinking of getting one for my hybrid.
- Contrary to various warnings I'd heard, I didn't notice a huge difference in paddling, most likely because the board requires perfect balance just to stay afloat, which forced me to use better paddling form (this was driven home by my wetsuit neck rash caused by constant arching of the back and neck; incidentally, the arching also made it much easier to look back and sideways as I paddled for waves).
- On a related note, whatever I lost in slower paddling speed, I gained by making more steady progress during the paddle out, thanks to duck diving. Breaking waves rarely pushed me back very much, which is a very different story than what happens on a hybrid (the turtle roll helps, but it's no panacea).
- Wave catching is not necessarily all that much harder. Sure, fewer waves are suitable for the board, but those that are can be caught relatively easily. I just had to adjust my position on the break (closer to shore where waves wall up) and my expectations (not every wrinkle on the horizon turns into a rideable wave).
The tough part: the popup is a lot harder (but for reasons I hadn't expected)
- Foot position has to be perfect. There is much less room for error (ok, I'd heard that but it became even clearer in practice).
- In steep waves, the popup has to be executed immediately upon catching the wave, otherwise the centrifugal force makes getting off the board very hard at high speed. I tried getting up a few times but literally couldn't peel myself off the board and as a result rode in on my stomach or knees (sometimes finally getting up when the wave slowed down).
- It hadn't occurred to me that the popup is made more difficult by the fact that your toes are not actually on the board so you can't use them to push off. After analyzing the move at home later I realized that the contact points that should drive the move are your knees and hands (I should have realized this even on the hybrid).
- I did get up a eight or ten times but usually when I hadn't actually caught a wave, either in the whites after the wave let go or on top of a wave I caught late (though I did have a couple of failed well-timed popups). Dropping in and popping up at the same time will be a challenge, but it doesn't feel insurmountable.
- Despite all this, the session was a ton of fun. I didn't feel frustrated and the pluses of shortboarding seemed to outweigh the minuses.
Goals for next session
- Improve duck diving: lower head to the board when under, try to keep eyes open, dive deeper, remember to put hands far forward on board.
- Angle into waves.
- Lower head and add three hard paddles as wave begins to break.
- Pop up earlier and set rail immediately.
I'm curious if any of you have had similar experiences or have any suggestions. I imagine that I'll get a few comments advising me to give up shortboarding, but the truth is that I probably won't (unless the novelty wears off and serious frustration sets in at some point, but I can always work in some sessions on my hybrid to regain confidence). Constructive tips would be greatly appreciated.

This book conveys in poetry and striking reproductions the forgotten story of Australia in the last 200 years. The story of the interaction of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. It is about brutality, arrogance, honest misunderstandings, occasional decencies and continuing unresolved problems.
In this creative contribution towards national reconciliation, poet Geoff Page and artist Bevan Hayward (Pooaraar) combine their significant talents in an effort to end 'the great forgetting'

For the second straight year, a Calder-based horse towered over his newly-turned 3-year-old Gulfstream Park Derby rivals when Trilogy Stable and Laurie Plesa's Itsmyluckyday, winner of both the $100,000 Foolish Pleasure Stakes and the $75,000 Fasig-Tipton Dash at Calder last year, proved 6 ¾ lengths the best defeating fellow Calder stakes winner Sr. Quisqueyano, running the one-mile trip in 1:34.39.
"When I looked up at the fractions, I was somewhat concerned," trainer Eddie Plesa, Jr. said of Itsmyluckday's six-furlong split that was clocked in 1:09.11. "But he just kept on going. I'm very pleased with his effort.
"We'll evaluate what our options are. (There is) the next race here (Grade 3 Holy Bull) and you've got another one at Tampa (Grade 3 $250,000 Sam Davis on Feb. 2). The main thing is he's had a full schedule. Let's see how he comes out of this race and we'll go from there."
Last year's running of the Gulfstream Park Derby was won by Stipa Racing Stable, Inc.'s Reveron. The Agustin Bezara-trained colt, a two-time winner at Calder as a 2-year-old, would parlay his Gulfstream Park Derby win with a third-place performance in the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes before crossing the wire as the runner-up in the Grade 1 Florida Derby.

Comments about Fox Apparel Fox Reflex Gel Glove 2014:
I use these gloves from spring to fall from 50° and up, undeniably they are my favorite gloves. I do have large hands and thick fingers. That being said I can't use finger-less gloves and these are a great substitute.

Comments about Fox Apparel Fox Reflex Gel Glove 2014:
I ride 3 hour all mountain rides once a week and try to get in a 1-2 hour ride when I can. These gloves have held up well. I wore them all summer, all of fall, and I'm still wearing them in december. At this point they have started to feel a little loose but they do have some miles on them. I don't know if the gel is doing much for me it seems a little thin. I still get some numbness in my hands on long climbs but that could be a personal issue. I haven't had a pair of gloves that alleviated the numbness so I don't put that on the gloves. That being said they are great gloves and I would by them again.

Great padding in full-fingered glove. Nice weight for warmer season rides, but not sure how durable they will be over time or in a crash!

Comments about Fox Apparel Fox Reflex Gel Glove 2014:
These gloves are good full-finger gloves for warm weather because the entire top is a mesh-type fabric. The strap is on the bottom side of the wrist, which is a little awkward, but I haven't noticed any real discomfort from that. The fingers do not work with iPhone (I assume they also don't work on other touch screens either).

Kips Bay is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The New York Times defines the boundaries as the area between East 23rd Street to the South, East 34th Street to the North, Lexington Avenue to the West and the East River to the East[1] The American Institute of Architects' AIA Guide to New York City considers the Western boundary to be Second Avenue.[2]
Kips Bay is neighbored on the north by Murray Hill, on the west by Madison Square or Rose Hill, and on the south by the Gramercy Park neighborhood and the Peter Cooper Village apartment complex. It is part of Manhattan Community Board 6.
Kips Bay was an inlet of the East River running from what is now 32nd Street to 37th Street. The bay extended into Manhattan Island to just west of what is now First Avenue and had two streams that ran from it. The bay was named after New Netherland Dutch settler Jacobus Hendrickson Kip (1631–1690), whose farm ran north of present day 30th Street along the East River.[3] The bay became reclaimed land, yet "Kips Bay" remains the name of the area. Kip built a large brick and stone house, near the modern intersection of Second Avenue and East 35th Street. The house stood from 1655 to 1851, expanded more than once,[4] and when it was demolished was the last farmhouse from New Amsterdam remaining in Manhattan.[5] Iron figures fixed into the gable-end brickwork commemorated the year of its first construction.[3] Its orchard was famous, and, when George Washington was presented with a slip of its Rosa gallica during his first administration, it was claimed to have been the first garden to have grown it in the colonies.[6]
Kips Bay was the site of the Landing at Kip's Bay (September 15, 1776), an episode of the American Revolutionary War and part of the New York and New Jersey campaign. About 4,000 British Army troops under General William Howe landed at Kips Bay on September 15, 1776, near what is now the foot of East 33rd Street. Howe's forces defeated about 500 American militiamen commanded by Colonel William Douglas. The American forces immediately retreated and the British occupied New York City soon afterward.
A single survivor of the late 18th or early 19th century in the neighborhood is the simple vernacular white clapboard house, much rebuilt, which has been variously dated from around 1790[8] to as late as 1870,[2] standing gable-end to the street, at 203 East 29th Street (illustration, left); it is one of a mere handful of wooden houses that remain on Manhattan Island. The house, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is privately owned and not open to the public.
South of the Kips Bay Farm stood the substantial Federal-style villa erected facing the East River by Henry A. Coster,[10] in the thirty-acre estate[11] that was purchased in 1835 by Anson Greene Phelps;[12] towards the city, the Bull's Head cattle market fronting the Boston Post Road extended southwards from 27th Street to 23rd Street, affording a distinctly less rural aspect;[13] the villa was removed to make way for row houses in the 1860s and the cattle market was moved farther out of town, to 42nd Street.[14]
The neighborhood has been rebuilt in patches, so one can see both new high-rise structures often set back from the street, and a multitude of exposed party walls that were never meant to be seen in public. A nearly forgotten feature is the private alley called Broadway Alley, between 26th and 27th Streets, halfway between Lexington and Third Avenues, reputedly the last unpaved street in Manhattan.[15][16]
In the 1960s and later, four Henry Phipps high-rise apartment complexes were constructed mainly on East 29th Street between First and Second Avenues, and south to East 27th Street. Historically, Phipps had been a partner of Andrew Carnegie. Much earlier in time, by 1940, the Madison Square Boys (and later Girls) Club, which had been located on East 30th Street just east of Second Avenue, built its own facilities on East 29th Street (back-to-back with its older facility). In the 1990s, the Club sold its facility to The Churchill School and Center and has operated its office in the Empire State Building.[17][18]
There are two large apartment buildings in the neighborhood named Kips Bay Towers, which are part of a 1,112-unit complex completed in 1963 and designed by architect I.M. Pei.[1]
Built on a pier above the East River between East 25th and East 28th Streets are Waterside Plaza, which includes residential towers and the United Nations International School. There were plans to build additional above-water apartments, offices, and a hotel in the 1980s, but environmental concerns and community opposition doomed the project.[19] Today, the waterfront south of Waterside Plaza is Stuyvesant Cove Park. The park includes a small man-made land mass extending out into the East River, which was created from excess cement dumped into the river.[20]
Within Kips Bay, the area along First Avenue is dominated by the institutional buildings of New York University, including Tisch Hospital, NYU College of Dentistry, NYU School of Medicine, Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bellevue Hospital Center teaching hospital, including the Hunter College Brookdale Health Sciences Center, the Alexandria Center for the Life Sciences, and the Manhattan VA Hospital. Further north on First Avenue between East 37th and East 38th Streets is the former Kips Bay Brewing Company, originally constructed in 1895 and now occupied by offices.[21]
Many businesses in the neighborhood use the name (Kips Bay Cinemas, Kips Bay Cleaners, Kips Bay branch of the New York Public Library).
Since 1965,[22] the area has had a commercial strip mall on Second Avenue between East 30th and East 32nd Streets, set back from the street by a driveway running parallel to Second Avenue. This group of stores is referred to as "Kips Bay Plaza" and consists of an AMC/Loews movie theater, a Staples office supply store, a Petco pet store, a Crunch Fitness center, a 24-hour Rite Aid pharmacy and a 44,000 sq. ft. Fairway Market located below ground.[23]

Union officials representing Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181, who are seeking job security, announced Monday afternoon that they plan to strike on Wednesday if they can't reach a suitable agreement with the city. Mayor Michael Bloomberg bid out contracts for nearly 1,100 bus routes currently handled by Local 1181 drivers. Last year, the city bid out contracts for preschool bus routes, and the new contracts will save taxpayers $95 million over five years.Bloomberg on Monday urged the union to avoid going on strike and added that a strike would "jeopardize the education and safety of more than 150,000 students who take school buses every single day, in a year when our students have already missed a week or more of school because of Hurricane Sandy."More from us'Hang tight, we are coming,' Kentucky National Guard assures stranded driversDelta flight skids off LaGuardia runway, stops feet from frigid East RiverBeaten, bloodied and murdered - Selma 50 years laterPowered by Livefyre

The Brazilian Butt Lift has become very popular in the last few years. The sensuality of the buttocks, whether in clothes or in swim suit attire, attracts the attention of men and women alike. By adding fat to the central buttocks the projection of the buttocks can be enhanced and by adding fat to the superior portion of the buttocks the Hispanic attitude of a shapely butt can be duplicated. While not everyone can have a large buttocks, most people can achieve a more shapely appearance. This is another example of where lipoaugmentation duplicates art. Be sure to view before and after photos.
