Iran unblocks Gmail after complaints
Despite the official announcement warning Iranians that Gmail would be blocked, Aghamiri had said last week that it had been an unintended consequence of an attempt to reinforce the block on YouTube
October 1, 2012 4:02 by Reuters
Iranian authorities have reopened access to Google Inc's email service a week after blocking it, a government official and Iranians said on Monday.
Iran maintains one of the world's largest Internet filters, blocking access to tens of thousands of websites on the grounds that they are criminal or immoral, but the block on Gmail had even prompted complaints in parliament.
"The council on Internet filtering communicated its order to the Telecommunications Ministry regarding the lifting of the ban on the Gmail service," Mohammad Reza Aghamiri, a member of the committee, told the Mehr news agency.
Iranians contacted online said they had been able to access Gmail again since Sunday night.
An official had announced on Sept. 23 that Gmail would be blocked throughout Iran "until further notice", without giving further details.
Iranian news agencies said the ban was connected to an anti-Islam film posted on Google's video hosting siteYouTube that caused outrage throughout the Muslim world.
Iran has long blocked YouTube, but users appeared to have been getting around the block. Many Iranians circumvent Internet restrictions with "virtual private network" (VPN) software that makes their computer appear to be located in another country.
Despite the official announcement warning Iranians that Gmail would be blocked, Aghamiri had said last week that it had been an unintended consequence of an attempt to reinforce the block on YouTube.
"We wanted to ban YouTube and then Gmail was cut off as well, and this was unintended," he told Mehr.
"We absolutely do not want YouTube to be accessible. Therefore the telecommunications ministry is trying to find a way to solve this problem so that it can block YouTube in the HTTPS protocol while leaving Gmail accessible."
Intentional or not, the blocking of Gmail had prompted official complaints. One legislator, Hossein Garousi, threatened to summon Telecommunications Minister Reza Taqipour to parliament for questioning if it was not unblocked.
Many of the Internet restrictions date back to the use of sites such as Facebook and YouTube to rally and publicise mass anti-government protests after the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009.
Sites expressing anti-government views are routinely blocked.
In a report last month, the U.S.-based pro-democracy campaign group Freedom House said Iranian authorities were using "more nuanced tactics in a continued campaign against internet freedom" including "upgrading content filtering technology" and imposing harsh sentences for illegal online activities.

PR Newswire/Les Echos/ Press release Mersen: 2012 full-year results Paris, March 20, 2013 - Mersen (Euronext FR0000039620 - MRN), a global expert in materials and equipment for extreme environments and for the safety and reliability of electrical equipment, has today reported its full-year results for 2012. Mersen's Supervisory Board met on March 19, 2013 and reviewed the audited 2012 financial statements. The Management Board met on the same day to approve them. 2012 key figures Reported sales (EUR811 million) in line with the 2011 level (down 8.8% on a like-for-like basis) EBITDA(1) of EUR116 million, representing 14.3% of sales Operating income before non-recurring items of EUR76.3 million or 9.4% of sales in line with expectations Net income attributable to Mersen's shareholders (EUR5.6 million) impacted by impairment losses arising from the plan to dispose of non-core businesses Dividend of EUR0.45 per share proposed, representing a payout ratio (excluding impairment losses arising from the disposal plan) in line with the 2011 level (35%) High level of cash flow from operating activities(2) (EUR109 million, up EUR41 million compared with 2011) Net debt of EUR241 million, representing a solid net debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.1x(3). Highlights of 2012 Integration of Eldre bolstering the Group's position in power electronics Execution of adaptation plans in response the economic conditions Decision to dispose of unprofitable non-core businesses Refinancing of the syndicated loan strengthening the Group's finances (1) Operating income before non-recurring items + depreciation and amortization (2) Continuing operations before capital expenditures (3) Ratio calculated using the covenant method for the USD350 million syndicated loan Luc Themelin, the Chairman of the Management Board, commented: "2012 was marked by a complex and very mixed environment. While the Group achieved commercial success in the chemicals, aerospace and process industries, Europe's economy was particularly sluggish, and the solar energy market contracted. Against this backdrop, Mersen took measures to adjust its production and its organization. During 2013, we will continue this drive to strengthen the Group's competitiveness. I am confident in our ability to seize any opportunities arising and strengthen our leadership positions in our business segments." Sales and operating margin before non-recurring items The Group's consolidated sales totaled EUR810.7 million. They declined 8.8% on a like-for-like basis compared with the pro forma 2011 figure*. On a reported basis, the decline came to just 0.7%, owing to the contribution made by Eldre, which was consolidated from the beginning of the year, and positive currency effects. EBITDA(4) totaled EUR116.0 million, representing 14.3% of sales, compared with 17.6% in 2011 on a pro forma basis*. The Group's operating income before non-recurring items(5) came to EUR76.3 million in 2012, representing an operating margin of 9.4% of sales, down 3.7 points compared with the pro forma 2011 figure*. Sales in the Advanced Materials and Technologies (AMT) segment posted an organic contraction of 11.3% during the year owing to the slowdown in the solar energy market. Excluding solar energy, the Group posted organic growth of 7.2% thanks to billings on major chemicals contracts and healthy performance in process industries and aerospace transportation. The AMT segment's EBITDA totaled EUR62.5 million. This represented 18.0% of the segment's sales, down 6 points compared with 2011. This decline was primarily attributable to the business contraction. Another contributing factor was the unfavorable product mix, with strong sales of lower-margin chemicals and, to a lesser extent, price cuts towards the end of the year. These factors were partially offset by savings measures launched in 2012. Operating income before non-recurring items totaled EUR35.2 million, representing an operating margin of 10.1% of sales. Sales recorded by the Electrical Components and Technologies (ECT) segment came to EUR464 million in 2012, up 3.2% compared with 2011 thanks to the contribution made by Eldre, which was acquired in early 2012. On a like-for-like basis, the segment's sales contracted by 6.7%. The decline was felt across all markets and electronics in particular. The ECT segment generated EBITDA of EUR66.1 million, representing 14.2% of sales compared with 15.4% in 2011. In spite of the top-line contraction, this healthy resilience was largely attributable to the savings plans introduced. Operating income before non-recurring items totaled EUR54.0 million, representing an operating margin before non-recurring items of 11.6% of sales. (4) Operating income before non-recurring items + depreciation and amortization (5) Based on the definition laid down in CNC regulation 2009.R.03. * Restatement of the 2011 financial statements to exclude the businesses to be sold or discontinued Net income from continuing operations Net income from continuing operations totaled EUR34.0 million during the fiscal year, compared with EUR62.4 million in 2011. Non-recurring income and expense showed a loss of EUR11.3 million owing chiefly to the recognition of restructuring costs linked to the adaptation plans. Net financial expense totaled EUR13.0 million in 2012, up EUR3 million compared with 2011, owing to the EUR20 million increase in average debt during the year and the rise in the Group's average borrowing rates with the significant extension in the maturity of its debt. Lastly, income tax expense totaled EUR17.1 million over the year. This represented an effective tax rate of 33%, which is similar to the 2011 rate. Assets held for sale and discontinued operations The net loss from assets held for sale and discontinued operations came to EUR27.7 million, compared with EUR2.7 million in 2011. This mainly reflected the EUR25.4 million charge linked to the plan to withdraw from metal boilermaking equipment for the nuclear power market, metal plate heat exchangers, and stirrers and mixers, and discontinuation of activities for the nuclear power market at Xianda's facility in China. This charge comprised a EUR20 million impairment loss, plus the EUR5.4 million net loss (excluding disposals) posted by the business activities in 2012. Net income Accordingly, net income came to EUR6.3 million. Net income attributable to Mersen's shareholders came to EUR5.6 million, down from EUR56.9 million in 2011. Cash and debt Cash flow generated by operating activities before tax and the change in the WCR came to EUR103.8 million in 2012, compared with EUR135.4 million in 2011. The working capital requirement was reduced by EUR28 million owing to the business contraction and continued implementation of action plans to reduce inventories. Capital expenditures totaled EUR42.2 million, with the bulk devoted to finalization of the plan to roll out new graphite production capacity launched in 2011 and implementation of dedicated new equipment for SiC coatings for electronics applications. Accordingly, net cash flow from operating activities generated by continuing operations posted a significant increase to EUR108.9 million from EUR68.0 million in 2011. Net debt at year-end 2012 came to EUR241 million, stable compared with the 2011 level of EUR239 million. This change reflects the impact of the Eldre acquisition and payment of the majority of the 2011 dividend in cash. Financial structure The Group's finances remained solid. Its net debt to EBITDA ratio stood at 2.07x(6) compared with 1.61x(6) at year-end 2011. The net debt to equity ratio came to 45%(6), the same level as its year-end 2011 level (44%). Dividend At the forthcoming AGM on May 16, the Supervisory Board is set to propose payment of a dividend of EUR0.45 per share. This would represent a payout ratio of 35% of the Group's net income before the impact of impairment losses linked to the disposal plan. Shareholders will be given the option of electing for payment of the dividend in shares. Outlook As in 2012, the Group will face a mixed economic environment in 2013. Mersen aims to generate 2013 sales comparable with 2012 level on a like-for-like basis. The Group anticipates a tough start to the year, in line with the second half of 2012, with a top-line recovery during the second half of 2013. As previously announced, Mersen will continue to roll out its adaptation plan during the year to reduce its cost base by some EUR10 million, but it will have to contend with pricing pressures and an unfavorable product mix in the AMT segment. Accordingly, Mersen aims to achieve an EBITDA margin of around 14% of sales and an operating margin before non-recurring items of around 9% over the full year. In addition, Mersen will continue to implement its plans to improve the logistics chain and its cash management and anticipates a significant decrease in capital expenditures compared with 2012. In the medium term, the Group will continue to leverage the strengths of its teams, its expertise and the relationships it has built with its customers to strengthen its positions and step up the pace of its development.

text: On Sunday at work, I went to the restroom and had a streak of bright red blood on the tissue. I went into panic mode and went to the ER. After four hours, bloodworm, and an ultrasound... The baby had no heartbeat. I should have been ten weeks two days along and the baby was measuring seven weeks three days. Needless to say I'm beyond devastated. This was my fifth pregnancy and I've never miscarried before. I followed up with my ob yesterday (which was ironically supposed to be my first ob appt). She did another u/s just to be sure, and confirmed what the ER said. I'm scheduled for a d&c tomorrow morning, which makes me want to scream. This whole situation tears me apart from the inside, the fact that I've been carrying around my baby with no heartbeat for three weeks and that tomorrow I have to have my precious sweet baby vacuumed out of me. At least I got to see his/her sweet tiny face on the u/s screen yesterday. This is so terrible I can't barely think straight. Im sorry if this was a little graphic, but besides DH I really don't have anyone else to talk to about this and my heart is broken.

C. Radhakrishnan
When are we going to join them with eagerness and joy? Without subjugating anybody even when strong, without hating anybody even when weak; those who had shown the way and flown in front even long long before to the valleys of peace and tranquility, they still ask us with compassion, when will you be joining us?.... when?.... how many blood baths more?.... - From Munpe parakkuna pakshikal |
C. Radhakrishnan. Malayalam author, researcher, scientist, film director & media person
Translated works available in English: NOW FOR A TEARFUL SMILE Is the Engish translation of Iniyoru Nirakanchiri. Translated by Kairali Narayanan, this is a unique and poignant love story of two very special people living under assumed identities for different reasons; and also a thriller chasing the intriguing tentacles of espionage activities and the untold stories behind political assassinations in India. It is a poetical treatise that leaves the reader teary-eyed, hopeful and refreshed. The translator notes: "This landmark novel, a socio-political silhouette of contemporary India, is a poignant juxtaposition of materialism and spirituality, contemporary geopolitics and history in the making, India and the world, urban and tribal cultures, tragedy and comedy, saints and sinners, displacement and assimilation, cyanide tablets and self-healing, arms and man, war and peace, hospitals and hermitages… innumerable are the strands that form the warp and weft of this literary milestone. It thrills, threatens, moves, shocks, calms and exhilarates! The catharsis I experienced after reading the original impelled me to seek the writer's permission and translate it for readers beyond borders, as all good things must be shared and joy multiplies in the process!"

To details of C Radhakrishnan's books
Biography of Thunjathe Ezhuthachan, the renowned poet.
C. Radhakrishnan was conferred the Odakuzhal Award for this work.
The work presents an extremely challenging attempt to sketch Ezhuthachan's life and his creative instinct through the great teacher's own mind and emotions. The story is written mostly as the Author had heard from his grandparents, in correlation with the known history of that period.
Ezhuthachan's real name was Krishnan, but this name has been long forgotten except within the family, as it was not prudent to address teachers by their real name. The great teacher was known widely as "Thunjathe Aniyanezhuthachan" (his elder brother Raman also being a teacher), or simply "Thunjathe Ezhuthachan".
Contrary to a popular belief Ezhuthachan was not born in Thunjan Parambu. But this place is strongly associated with the great teacher, because it was in Thunjan Parambu that the family set up their most famous and influential school.
"Thunjan" was not his name. He was called "Thunjath Ezhuthachan" because the family had resided at Thunjan parambu.
C. Radhakrishnan's work on the Bhagavad Gita
This work was serialized in the Mathrubhumi newspaper.
C. Radhakrishnan has used the knowledge of modern science for a thoroughly critical analysis of ancient wisdom, to bring about a totally different work. No superstitions here. Without any doubt, the book is the first of its kind.
The Author explores in his unique yet simple way, how the ancient Upanishadic wisdom in the Gita would help clear away all sorrows of people anywhere in the world, whatever be their religion or position, and help them face whatever challenges and struggles they may meet with in life with maturity and courage. The Vedantic outlook in day to day life has never been explored as thoroughly as this, ever before.
The English translation of Geetadarsanam will be available by June 2015.

An elegant, well-equipped Android tablet that's hard to recommend
Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is a refined, powerful Android tablet that exudes the premium feel Sony hangs its hat on. But pricing the tablet at full-sized iPad Air 2 levels seems misguided, especially as demand for premium Android tablets continues to decline. Those still in the market for a high-e... More
Great performance, great waterproof protection and a phone that can withstand daily life
Sony Xperia M2 Aqua
I have read in other reviews that the flaps were "awkward". Now, whilst this may need a bit of getting used to if you're regularly using the 3.5mm audio port, it wasn't a great problem for me just to slip my nail under the flap and charge it each night. I don't think it... More
Outstanding multimedia experience at a price
Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is an excellent Android tablet, but is likely priced $80 to $100 too high for mass consumer sales. The audio and video experience is excellent, it was a joy to carry such a light tablet, and it has just about everything one could want in a tablet.
Solid enough midrange package
Sony Xperia C3
A beefed up selfie-cam is probably a good way to jazz things up without a massive investment. No wonder we've been seeing much of them in the midrange.The front LED flash narrows the list of potential competitors to just a few names. The likes of the HTC Desire Eye and the Oppo N-series don't really... More
Light in the hand, heavy on the wallet

Sony's Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is a lovely piece of hardware. It's light on flair, has a borderline-terrible camera, mediocre stereo speakers and a slightly tired Android build.

Sony might not have high hopes for its mobile future, but the company has made a winner in the Xperia Z3. The design is sophisticated, the camera is great, and battery life is excellent.

Much more than enough

I have been using for some time, and I am totally contented with the phone. It's performance, sound and visual quality are all fantastic. In addition, it is so thin and beautiful that whoever sees it gets attracted from the charm of the phone.

Snooki isn't the only "Jersey Shore" star with a namesake scent.
Jenni Farley has just released her own signature fragrance named after the moniker fans know her by best: JWoww.
PHOTOS: Celebrities with their own fragrances
And despite a love for tanning lotion, the aroma is a blend of her two favorite aromas: fruity pear and musky sandalwood, the reality TV star, 25, said in a statement.
"[Jenni's] scent is more sexy while mine is more sweet," Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi told Us Weekly. Last month her potion hit Perfumania stores and HSN.com.
PHOTOS: Stars with Snooki's poof
Below, Farley shares with Us why she's a mix between Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie and her hair foibles on the Jersey shore.
PHOTOS: The Jersey Shore cast's wildest moments in Italy
Us: What's your go-to makeup look for a night out?
JWOWW: Fake eyelashes go well with a nice smoky brown eye, bronzer and a nude lip. For fragrance, pick up JWOWW by Jenni Farley -- it's perfect for day or night.
Us: Who is your celebrity style crush?
J: It's a toss up between Lady Gaga for her fierce, no boundaries approach to fashion, and Angelina Jolie for her wild past and the way she has an elegant poise today.
Us: What is the biggest beauty mistake you've ever made?
J: Being by the shore during Season One, I didn't realize the humidity would be so high and dry out my hair. I should've gotten a keratin treatment to help with frizz.
PHOTOS: Meet Jenni's parents and other Jersey Shore family members
To celebrate the launch of JWOWW by Jenni Farley, fans will be gifted with a free shimmering body lotion to complement the scent. The set will be available for $29.99 at jwowwperfume.com.

So in High Times and such I always see these amazing grow ops where there are people running up to and above 100 plants but rarely do they go into the specifics of the operation. My question is what methods of growing are the indoor commercial standards? I realize you could take any type whether DWC, Ebb and Gro/Flow, Aeroponics, even soil and scale it up but what are really the most efficient operations? Please keep the "if you don't know you shouldn't be asking" comments and such to yourself. I'm one of those forward thinking and planning type people so I appreciate the info. Thanks!
My friend who I got my cheese from has a warehouse grow and he uses the ebb n' gro system. I'm by no means anywhere close to an expert but I'll still give ya my thoughts as I am also one of those forward thinking people and have given this question some thought already. For one, the question can only be answered in very general terms. There's so many little specifics that are unique to each location, especially in a large commercial setup, that it would be pointless to give specific details and say "this is how you do it" unless you are building everything from the ground up. Hydro is definitely more efficient both in speed and production. If it's a medical grow where numbers count I would go with an ebb n' gro. Ebb n' gro's are great systems that allow the buckets to be directly on the ground so you can grow them big. They are a little quirky...sometime the pump doesn't shut off and floods your room. Sentinel also makes one that's digital, has a water sensor and alarm, and better buckets. Personally I'm a little partial to scrog right now so I would do that on a large scale. If you're a guerrilla grower you may consider a large aeroponics array and grow shorter plants in a sea of green. I think one of the keys for efficiency is to do a setup with the fewest amount of reservoirs as possible. DWC won't be the best method I think and normal ebb n' flow is a nasty green mess. For environmental controls, pretty much everything is just bigger. You use co2 burners instead of tanks and you may have several small rooms or a couple big rooms, sealed environment or vented, cold climate or hot......all of which completely change your setup. two cents please
Thanks for the info. Just so happens I'm already running a CAP Ebb and Gro so that works great. Been interested in checking out the Sentinel version also, I hear its a bit more refined. How much of a difference does C02 really make? Especially in such a large environment? Could a person expect a 5% increase in yield? 10%? I really don't know much about it. Spent all my efforts on learning to control temp and humidity. Figured the basics were the most important before getting fancy with the C02.
expect, if used right at constant 1500 ppm's in a sealed room, a 15-20% increase or maybe more if your good. but you have to raise you daytime temps to 82-85.
And its still practical in a warehouse/commercial setting? Damn that would be insane. So lets say it increases your yield 20% now subtract the ammount you spent on propane I wonder how far ahead you really come out vs. all the extra work.
propane is real cheap, compared to ganj. think about it, if you were going to get 10 pounds, with CO2, you would get 12. if you are getting 3000 an elbow, tht an increase in profit of by 6000. you wont use 3000 gallons of propane in 7-8 weeks in a commercial grow. even running 4-5 burners. but you would probably getting a yield somewhere around atleast 40-50 pounds, which would an increase in profit by, 24,000-30,000. id say its worth it.
Gotcha! I don't think I've ever bought propane before plus not knowing the consumption rate of the burners had me wondering. Thanks!
There is not one set way of growing standards for the commercial cultivation of marijuana (indoor/outdoor/greenhouse) or a set number of plants. However The most effective commercial scale gardening methods have been proven time and time again using soil or a soilless mix. Fully sealed rooms that have no in or out vents.. You would cool these rooms with air conditioning units or chillers. You would bring C02 into the atmosphere (grow rooms). Dehumidifiers are brought into the rooms to lower the humidity and Humidifiers to increase the humidity of the rooms. THESE ARE CALLED PERFECT ROOMS You should also note that most of the grows in high times are from growers that supply the smoke shops in the netherlands (amsterdam and surrounding cities). Peace and happy Growing !!
So that answers all my "how" questions so I suppose. Thanks! At this point of an operation quality would already be locked down (and always my main concern) so my next tweaking would consist of quantity. What I've always wondered about is the actual yield difference between doing a SOG and putting clones directly to 12/12 or taking an extra 2-4 weeks as veg time. I'm talking about after they've rooted of course. Thanks!
TRICK QUESTION !! LOL The difference is the GROWER !! The yields could be comparable in either method.. (Per square meter is how marijuana is measured by finished product weight) bigger plants = bigger/more buds, but if you have a large ammount of smaller plants taking up the same ammount of space you can get the same if not a greater yield (in less time)... but for the commercial cultivation of marijuana almost all of them are running a SOG method and placing clones directly into flower. they are in the business to produce alot of product in the shortest ammount of time possible. PEACE AND HAPPY GROWING !!
Yield is not expressed in relation to the number of plants that you have but the amount of lighting (lumens) that you have. The last poster who talked about the perfect room is pretty right on but there is so much else that goes into something like this i assume this is a long ways off for you. I grow sog but IMO if I were going to do something like this I would have one or two huge flower rooms with tons of vented 1000w's and I would use Hydro Bucket Systems. I don't like huge plants I think it takes a little away from quality IMO but for efficiency gains you want to have as few plants as possible. There's so much more I could say but you can find all that out your self. goodluckk.
sog is way to much work for an operation this size. sog commercial growers are not growing 30 lbs a month. There are commercial growers out there using every method you could imagine.
Commercial Productions in Hydroponic systems, tend to use the Ebb and FLow system on flood tables. they generally use alot of rockwool, placeing the rockwool directly on the table, and growing many short plants aprox 15" tall in 4x4 squares an example would be a 4x8 flowering table with three 600w bulbs and 160 plants at 15" with no topping... growing aprox 3lbs ($3500x3=$10,500) per table... scaled up around 20+ tables = $210,000k a month, 2.5million a year... easily managed by around 4-6 people.... this is still one of the easyiest to maintain, and easyiest to cleanup... and pretty much the best way to grow without much work involved. other systems tend to be very expensive to implement, very messy to clean, they clog up the equipement, and are generally a pain in the rear (I know, I've used most of them) commercial growers also use twice the flowering space as the Veg to keep them cycleing every month... and have many mothers to keep them fully stocked with fresh new clones to keep that large op going. afterall, we are talking about 1000's of plants... proper ventalation, Temps, Humidity, Co2, are all things that are generally regulated very well...
some pictures of commercial and Semi-commercial Operations I found while googleing... View attachment 1319274 View attachment 1319287
Gotcha, makes sense. So I always see yields quoted in grams per square meter but what does that really mean to me? How is that really calculated? I've got good common sense but I'm not the brightest bulb in the drawer.
Please do not listen to Canibutal or the greenmonster333 with advice like this Clearly they do not have a clue what the heck they are talking about my friend. For one yield has nothing to do with the ammount of lumens you have it all depends on your growing methods, experience and nutrients. The more mature the plant is before you flower it the better the quality of the product will be, it has nothing to do with size". He must be joking when he says that commercial SOG growers are not growing 30 lbs a month Commercial growers are clearing well over 30 lbs a month my friend in SOG.. Actually the easiest most forgiving garden method to maintain is soil or a soilless mix so he is definately way off in that aspect. Hydroponics has to be constantly maintained (alot of work) if one thing is off your crop is ruined. Here is my decsription of SOG METHOD. you can use tables,or individual pots, hydroponics whatever you want.. the bottom line is for mass/commercial production you are doing a SOG method SOG Is the theory of harvesting lots of small plants, matured early to get the fastest production of buds available. Instead of growing a few plants for a longer period of time, in the same space many smaller plants are grown that mature faster and in less time. Thus, less time is required between crops. This is important to you when the electricity bill comes each month. One crop can be started while another is maturing, and a continuous harvest, year round can be maintained. 4 plants per square foot will be a good start for seedlings. 1 plant per square foot will allow plenty of room for each plant to grow a large top cola, but will not allow for much bottom branching. This is OK since indoors, these bottom branches are always shaded anyway, and will not grow very well unless given additional light and space. The indoor grower quickly realizes that plants that are too tall do not produce enough at the bottom to make the extra growing time used worth while. An exception to this rule would be if it is intended the plants are to go outside at some point, and it is expected that the light/shading issue will not be a factor at that point. The plants, if started at the same time, should create what is called a "green canopy" that traps most of the light at the top level of the plants. Little light will penetrate below this level, since the plants are so close together. The gardener is attempting to concentrate on the top of the plant, and use the light and space to the best advantage, in as little time as possible. Use of nylon poultry fence or similar trellising laid out over the green canopy will support the plants as they start to droop under the weight of heavy fruiting tops. Stakes can be used too, but are not as easy to install for plants in the middle and back of the room, where reach is more difficult. It's easy to want big plants, since they will produce more yield per plant, but it's usually better with limited space to grow smaller plants that mature faster and pack into smaller spaces. Sea of Green was developed in Holland. Instead of fitting 4 large plants in that small room, fit 12 small ones on a shelf above 12 other small plants. These plants take only 3-4 months to mature from germination to ripe buds, and harvesting takes place constantly, since there is both a vegetative and flowering area devoted to each, with harvests every 45-60 days. It's not the size of the plant, but the maturity and quality of the product that counts. Twice as many plants grown half as big will fill the grow space twice as fast, so harvests take place almost twice as often. Get good at picking early flowering plants, and propagate only those that are of the best quality. 6" square containers will allow for 4 plants per square foot. You may also gauge by the size of your growing tray (for passive hydroponics) you can use kitty litter boxes. ($3 each at walmart) Planted 4 per square foot, (for vegetative seedlings) a 12 sq. ft. closet will hold 48 seedlings on one shelf. In any case, you can use 4" rockwool cubes that fit into kitty litter pans @ 12 cubes per pan. You can get 5 pans onto a 12 sq. ft. closet upper shelf, so that is 60 seedlings on one small shelf! For flowering indoors, 1 plant per sq. ft. is a good rule of thumb for SOG. If less plants are grown in this size space, it will take them longer to fill the space, thus more electricity and time will be used to create the same amount of product. If more than one plant p.s.f. is attempted, the grower will soon find that plants thus crowded tend to be more stem than bud, and the total harvest may be reduced, so be cautious. It's good to avoid "topping" your plants if you want them to grow as fast as possible. It's better just to grow 2 or 4 times more plants, since they will produce more, faster, in the same space. Also, "training" plants with twist-ties is a great way to get them to bush out a bit. Just take any type of plastic or paper twist tie and wrap it around the top of the plant, then pull it over until the top is bent over 90-180 degrees and then attach this to the main stem lower on the plant. Do this for one week and then release the plant from it's bond. The plant can be trained in this fashion to take less vertical space and to grow bushier, to fill the grow space and force lower limbs to grow upward and join the green canopy. This technique takes advantage of the fact that if the top is pulled over, it creates a hormonal condition in the plant that makes it bush out at all lower internodes. Sea of Green entails growing to harvest the main cola (top) of the plant. Bottom branches are trimmed to increase air flow under the "blanket" of growing tops. Use them for cuttings when you need more clones. ALL OF THE PICTURES THAT HE HAS POSTED ABOVE ARE ALL USING THE SOG METHOD WHATEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT !! AND NONE OF THOSE ARE ON A COMMERCIAL SCALE WHEN I LOOK AT THEM !! HERE ARE HOW US CANADIANS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA GARDEN ON A COMMERCIAL LEVEL !! BELOW IS MY OWN PERSONAL SEMI COMMERCIAL SCALE OUTDOOR CROP AND MY REWARDS FOR MY LABOUR (OKANAGAN VALLEY BRITISH COLUMBIA 2006. I was using the sog method growing Hindu Kush and I Sucesfully Harvested over 50lbs of dry product for a whopping sale price of $150,000. I bought the truck below with some of the money and my friend wrote it off a year and a half later while driving without a license and in turn I received nothing back from the insurance company in form of compensation. I was not going to charge my friend, but I was not gonna tell them that I knew he had no license either. So I ate the cost of the truck ( over $60,000 Canadian). After all mother nature did provide it for me to enjoy it while I had it. It was my stupidity to let him drive my truck any way, we are still friends to this day, but I bust his balls about it all the time I can tell he still feels bad about it after over 3 years everytime I bring it up to him too.. lol My outdoor crops this year are going to the medical dispensaries around Vancouver BC PEACE AND HAPPY GROWING !!

Tunable optical microwave source using spatially resolved laser eigenstates
Optics Letters, Vol. 22, Issue 6, pp. 384-386 (1997)
Acrobat PDF (273 KB)
A two-propagation-axis solid-state laser is shown to provide a widely tunable optical microwave source. The spatial separation of the laser eigenstates is shown to enable an étalon to act as a coarse tuner, forcing oscillation in any nonadjacent cavity modes. The frequency difference between opposite helicoidal eigenstates operating in nonadjacent cavity modes can then be tuned continuously. The beat note from such a solid-state laser is shown to vary from dc to 26 GHz, i.e., 30 times the laser free-spectral range, and is limited only by the free-spectral range of the étalon.

Introduction: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the evolving standard of care for the management of early breast cancer. Accurate identification of the SLN is paramount for success of this procedure. Various techniques are described for SLN identification, but the superficial injection techniques, advocated by the UK National Training Programme (NEW START), are validated, reproducible and rapid. Pre-operative lymphoscintigraphy provides a road map for the surgeon and requires a reporting template.Methods: As one of the NEW START training institutions in the UK practising this technique, we reviewed a mature series of 100 unselected, consecutive SLN lymphoscintigraphy procedures. We correlated the imaging, operative and pathology findings and have provided technical details of the technique and a template for reporting SLN lymphoscintigrams.Results: The SLN localisation rate was 99% with one failed imaging. Seven patients required delayed imaging. The mean activity of the radiocolloid injected was 14.4 MBq (range 8.3-23 MBq). The SLNs were visualised in the ipsilateral axilla in 98 images, intramammary in 3, and internal mammary in 1. A mean of 1.35 nodes were classified as 'True' SLNs on imaging criteria. Intra-operatively, a mean of 1.91 SLNs were excised. 32 of 116 hot and blue nodes, 7 of 15 only blue nodes, 13 of 47 only hot and 7 of 13 parasentinel nodes harboured metastases.Conclusion: The NEW START recommended, combined superficial injection techniques, have high localisation rates. Pre-operative sentinel node imaging is recommended and a template for reporting is provided. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Coming from a culture where one never throws away their belongings but rather passes it down to the next generation, it always amazes me the stuff that people throw out or leave on the curb (here in the US) for the garbage truck to haul away!
My sister-in-law has the best luck when it comes to picking up pre-loved furniture that people dispose of on the curb. One of the advantages of living in her part of Long Island is that people throw out quality, heirloom, vintage furniture. The type that if found in a vintage shop would cost thousands of $$$'s. Over the years she has 'collected' a fine selection of high-end vintage finds that has now found a loving home.
Recently she picked up a couple of pieces that she generously turned over to me. Now I am proud owner of two vintage pieces thanks to my dear SIL.

PoliticsPalestine casts first vote at UN Palestine's delegation to UN General Assembly casts first ballot in routine vote, saying now closer to full membership. 18 Nov 2013 19:59 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Israel, Togo Palestine's UN status was upgraded last November to 'non-member state' from 'entity' (Getty Images) Palestine's delegation to the United Nations has cast a ballot for the first time in a routine General Assembly vote, an act the envoy said brought his nation a step closer to full UN membership. The chief Palestinian UN observer, Riyad Mansour, participated in the 193-nation assembly's election of a judge for the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia on Monday in which Koffi Kumelio Afande of Togo was elected to the court. "This is a very, very special moment in the history of the struggle of the Palestinian people at the United Nations," said Mansour. It was the first time the Palestinians cast a vote since their UN status was upgraded last November to "non-member state" from an "entity," like the Vatican. The vote has been perceived as a de facto recognition of Palestinian statehood. "It's a symbolic (step)," he said. "But it is an important one because it reflects that the international community, particularly the General Assembly, is hungry and waiting for the state of Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations." Participation Mansour said he hopes the Palestinians will become full members of the United Nations soon, though the United States have not indicated it has any plan to drop its opposition to that idea. Their current status allows them to participate in some assembly votes and join some international organisations. The Palestinians have threatened to use their new UN status to accede to a number of international organisations and possibly sign the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The Palestinians have not joined the ICC yet. In 2011, however, they joined UNESCO, the UN education, science and culture agency, which led Washington and Israel to cut off funding to the Paris-based organisation in protest. Earlier this month, UNESCO suspended the voting rights of the US and Israel. The upgrade of the Palestinians' status last year came after an attempt to secure full UN membership failed because of US resistance in the Security Council, where Washington made clear it would use its veto power to block the Palestinian bid. But no country has veto power in the General Assembly, which is why the Palestinians had no trouble securing status as a non-member state. Source: Agencies

text: Neurologic lesion localization: Spinal neuropathies (Proceedings) Aug 01, 2008 By Mark Neer, DVM, DACVIM CVC IN KANSAS CITY PROCEEDINGS 123Next Spinal cord localization principles It is helpful to develop an ordered approach to this problem. The following stages in the diagnostic approach should include: 1. Identifying the problem 2. Localizing the lesion 3. Assessing the severity or extent of the lesion 4. Acquiring a diagnosis 5. Determining the prognosis Identifying the problem History 1. Age/Breed 2. Previous history of illness; recent or previous trauma. 3. Course of the clinical signs – Onset – very obvious or vague? What were the initial signs? Any asymmetry? Acute vs. progressive vs. static Has condition stabilized, improved, worsened? Has problem occurred before? Clinical Examination: It is important to do a thorough physical exam so that other diseases which may mimic neurologic conditions are not overlooked. Especially orthopedic disorders Localization of the lesion Determine the locomotor status first; this will help one evaluate which limbs are involved and assess for asymmetry, strength, and ataxia. Assessment of proprioception 1. Knuckling response 2. Reflex stepping 3. Wheelbarrowing Myotatic reflexes 4. Lateral hopping Muscle atrophy – 1. LMN – severe, within 7-10 days 2. UMN – mild, takes weeks to occur Other reflexes that may be evaluated – 1. Cutaneous trunci reflex – Afferent arm – segmental sensory nerves Efferent arm – C8-T1 – lateral thoracic nerve 2. Withdrawal reflexes – Front limb – C5-T1 cord segments Hind limb – L6-S1 cord segments 3. Anal reflex – S1-S3 cord segments 4. Crossed extensor reflex – this is manifested as a very rapid and extreme flexion of the stimulated limb after a noxious stimulus, with simultaneous extreme rapid extension of the opposite limb. Bladder function 1. S1-S3 cord segments supply LMN and motor control to the bladder wall and urethral sphincters. 2. UMN vs. LMN bladder a. UMN – 1. bladder may be full and distended b. high resistance to manual compression c. urine stream continues for a brief period after manual compression is stopped d. after several days post-cord injury, the bladder will become hyperreflexic and hold less urine during the storage phase, but still retains more urine than a normal bladder after voiding. e. LMN – 1. bladder full and distended f. flaccid, no tone g. dribbling of urine h. bladder easy to express and urine stream ceases as soon as compression is stopped. 123Next Hot topics on dvm360Veterinarians: Your clients are going to Google with these cat questions dvm360.com - Feb 24, 2015Vetcetera: The complex topic of canine fear-related aggression dvm360.com - Dec 07, 2014Reality TV and the veterinarian: Discussing mainstream dog training advice with clients VETERINARY MEDICINE - Dec 07, 2014Blog: Election results pose obstacles for veterinary prescription law DVM360 MAGAZINE - Nov 10, 20147 steps to a better relationship between veterinarians and rescue groups VETERINARY ECONOMICS - Nov 01, 2014

She's the mockingjay. He's the boy with the bread. But with Cinna's expertise they're both about to become the couple from District 12 on fire! Entertainment Weekly released this picture today showing Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson in character as Katniss and Peeta before they make their debut in the capitol as the District 12 tributes. Lenny Kravtiz as Cinna can be seen on the right side of the picture and we know the next image is going to be really, really hot. I mean that literally because they're going to be set on fire and because they're both beautiful. It works in two ways.
