Title: Smarty Plants on mulch and organic material
Answered by: Joe Marcus and Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live near Canyon Lake, just north of San Antonio in a new subdivision. I call on you for advice, as I have attended several classes there and hope you can help. Several areas on our property and neighbors' were scraped off during construction, or when trenching for utilities, leaving a bare, white scar of ground up limestone on the surface. As you know, when water is added, it turns hard as the rock it is. I read the article on restoration (Restoration: The basics on how to repair your land by Steve Windhager, Ph.D.) which contains wonderful information, but to step back, before any restoration can begin, we are asking ourselves what do we need to do to this hard surface to prepare it to receive even a tough native? I am a Master Gardener, and my suggestion was to shallowly cultivate it to loosen it up, then add organic matter and mulch. Is this the proper technique to initially prepare this chopped up rock for seeding? Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated.
You are doing exactly the right thing by adding mulch and organic material to the scraped soil. Loosening the surface and working the added material into the limestone material is very effective, but you can also apply topsoil with mulch on the surface effectively without loosening the surface underneath. Be aware that you need to monitor for unwanted weeds that come in as a part of anything you are putting on your plot.

Oil Mister
I bought a Misto, but it doesn't work most of the time and, in fact, is quite messy - drippy. Does anyone have a mister they like? Or, is there something I can do to this Misto to make it work better?
Oil viscosity changes to thinner at higher temperatures. You can try heating the oil first to make it flow better, but that's a lot of trouble.
I use a brush to brush on oil, quicker, simpler and no mess.
Possible also to mix oil with water based liquid, you can do that with an ultrasonic device, that is call emulsification, to make the oil flow easier.
Not sure what is your point, especially about âÂÂ110 degreesâÂÂ.
My point is:
Even something as solid as butter, when emulsifies with liquid (milk) can flow as easily as water; hence there should be no problem to make oil, which is much softer then butter to have better viscosity for spraying if emulsified with a liquid in proper proportions.
This is to clarify your statement above that emulsions will always be thicker than the components which make up the emulsion.
Whatever, I've never found a mister that works worth a darn. I bought a Misto, it worked for a while. I bought a Pampered Chef mister, it worked for a couple of days. I returned it, got another one, it worked for a couple of days. I returned it, got another one, it worked for a couple of days. I threw it away.
I thought recently that maybe they had gotten better and bought a Misto. Sure enough, it doesn't work worth a darn.
So if you can figure out how to make it work better, I'm all over that! I'll watch this thread to see if anyone has better ideas.
You must be lucky, Peppi, although I will agree that the misto was better than the Pampered Chef one. That was a piece of junk.
I bought one when I got the microwave potato chip maker for Elery that he wanted. That works great, actually, but the Misto, not so much. I pump like crazy, get a stream of oil (never a spray) and it only lasts a couple of seconds, then needs to be pumped up again to get another 2 second stream. I'd think I got a bad one, but it works just like the first one did.
I sent 2 of the Pampered chef ones back, because they didn't work....so it wasn't getting a bad one....unless I got 3 bad ones in a row.
I suspect it's because I use EVOO which turns solid in the refrigerator....and I suspect the properties are different from more "refined" oils.
Anyhow they don't work for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: properties of an emulsion
I got one as a gift. Nice idea but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work or not work. Could barely read the print on the directions, truth be told. I use a set of silicone pastry brushes.
We have a couple of Mistos which work after a fashion. I use them to spray bakeware (cake pans and the like), and they will work. They don't spray as fine and controlled a mist as as aerosol like PAM, and I have to pump a lot to get them to spray a mist and not droplets, but I do use them all the time. DH also uses one for the griddle when he makes pancakes, and he says they're fine for that too.
"----So if you can figure out how to make it work better, I'm all over that! I'll watch this thread to see if anyone has better ideas. ---"
The use of pump action to spray oil is inherently problematic mechanically. It is probably better if they use the "Venturi" effect (no moving parts, no piston or one-way check valves.) for atomization of oil, such as in automobile carburetor design.
As I mentioned, you will be better off using a brush. However, if you insist, emulsification is a consideration.
I mentioned milk is an emulsion of liquid and butter fat, also, when you make vinaigrette with oil that too is an emulsion and thin enough to be spray-able. BTW, emulsification is the entire concept of detergents. Detergents use surfactants to emulsify dirt, oil grease muck/grime with water, so they are thin and can be washed away.
I've had two. I loved them right up until they gummed up and stopped working. It seems to be the nature of the beast: the oil when it contacts oxygen will turn rancid and sticky. And since the mister works by pumping air into the chamber with the oil, it seems destined to turn the oil rancid and sticky, and gum up the works. After the second one stopped working I gave up.
One of the things I uses to use mine for was to spray a thin coating of oil on an omelette pan. Now I have an omelette pan the is non-stick enough on its own (even after two years of use), that I do not need to use any oil or butter to make an omelette.

Position the two 20" x 4" x 1" pieces of hardwood so that the base of the router will fit snugly between them. Measure the distance between the outside edges of the two pieces of hardwood.
Use 1-1/4" drywall screws to attach those two boards perpendicular across either end of the longer two boards (Image 1). Use a framing square to make sure the boards are perfectly perpendicular (Image 2). The four pieces will create a hollow rectangle.
Mount the rectangle to a worktable with the two shorter strips of wood facing down. Using a table saw, cut the 3/16" thick piece of clear plastic or Plexiglas the width of the router base and the length of the rectangle's inside length. Place the plastic in the center of the rectangle.
With a V-bit in the router, scribe a center line through the length of the plastic. The line will act as a guide. You'll place the work piece underneath the plastic and line up the spot on the work piece to be cut with the center line of the plastic.

Are there any code samples or documentation that I could use?

Miller closing in on Heat deal
MIAMI -- Mike Miller had talks with LeBron James during the NBA Finals about free agency, and the reigning two-time MVP had a simple message for one of the league's best shooters.
"Sit tight," James told Miller.
So Miller waited to see what James would do -- and now is on the cusp of joining him in Miami.
Miller arrived in South Florida on Wednesday and told Memphis radio station WHBQ that he would sign his five-year contract by his scheduled departure on Thursday. Miller agreed in principle to a deal late last week, and his agent Arn Tellem revealed Monday that the sharpshooter would be signing with Miami.
"We're waiting on one thing ... we'll have it done," Miller told the radio station.
Using Twitter on Wednesday, Miller tipped off his followers that a deal was near, saying, "It's sunny and HOT in Miami!"
The 6-foot-8 Miller shot a career-best 48 percent from 3-point range last season. In 10 NBA seasons, Miller has averaged 13.7 points and 5.1 rebounds.
Terms of Miller's deal have not been finalized, but based on what Miami has left to spend, it would figure to be worth around $25 million over the five years. The Heat, Dwyane Wade especially, said it was vital to get some shooting help to play alongside James and Chris Bosh. Another plus is that Miller and newly re-signed Heat forward Udonis Haslem are extremely close friends.
"I'm excited about it," Miller told WHBQ. "It's a good opportunity for me. Obviously you're looking at three of the most dynamic players in the league. And you need to surround that with shooters. And hopefully I can go in there and do that for these guys."
Miller has said he wanted a chance to compete for a championship. That, along with the lure of wanting to play with James, made him turn down other higher-paying offers, he said.
"I've never had an opportunity to really lace them up in June," Miller said. "This one gives me an opportunity. Obviously, nothing's guaranteed but we like our chances."

pool heater, motherboard always powered or not?
Replaced the motherboard on my pool heater (Raypak R2100 400k ASME) this year due to overwintering mice. I've since sealed up any cracks and crevices into the motherboard compartment to prevent any more critter fun.
When I bought the new motherboard, the sales guy asked how my heater was wired up. It was installed by the pool company and wired up by an electrician who does a lot of pool work. He wired the heater through the intermatic timer so when the timer kicks ON/OFF, power is either supplied or cut off to the pool heater's transformer.
In addition to that being how power is supplied to the heater transformer itself, we've always used the pool heater's ON/OFF switch as we use the heater:
If it's not already running, flip the switch on the intermatic timer to turn on the pump, that in turn sends power to the heater's transformer. Then turn the heater's ON/OFF switch ON. Then set the mode to SPA, set the temp, and let it fire off.
We use the spa about 4-5 times a week for about an hour each time, so the motherboard gets cycled on/off that many times as well.
The question (finally): The sales guy said he thought the heater should be wired/powered independent of the pump timer and the heater's power switch should always be in the ON position for the entire heating season. This will result in the motherboard being powered and the LCD display being illuminated 24/7 from April through November. Then when we want to use the heater, use the heater's mode switch "Heat SPA/OFF/Heat Pool" combined with the selector to call for heat.
So...am I okay as it is now? Or is the better way to have it hot-wired and always ON? Or does it just not matter?
Thanks in advance!

We' ve found happy train by accident. It was great to find out that the guide speaks Polish. She encouraged us to go to the village up in the mountains. The village is amazing with lovely architecture, nice people and breathtaking views.
We took the shorter ride to a destination with a 10 minute stopover for an ice cream cup. We and the kids had a very good time.
Lovely scenic coastal route from Elounda to Plaka on the appropriately named happy train. Plaka is well worth a visit for its gift shops and restaurants and the views are yo die for. Locals and tourists alike make a point of waving to those on board. Hard not to smile on board and reasonably priced too.
An opportunity to get up into the little villages overlooking Elounda and Spinalonga entertained by Ziggy with his facts and little anecdotes. This stopped long enough to see the old olive oil press and a drop of raki and passed the set of The Island on the way back. All in all beautiful scenery, entertaining, good commentary, good fun, a...
My wife and I loved the happy train!
As the other reviews state, yes it is more expensive than the taxi and essentially drives up the road then back again. However, this doesn't take into account the tour guide or the experience.
It's a relaxed way to travel and in a hot area provides some nice needed rest with a...
We went for the mountain lunchtime excursion. Stunning views with frequent photo stops during the steep climb away from Plaka and up the mountain. Good lunch at the taverna in the village, the Tzatsiki was excellent and the Mykonos was cold.The whole trip was about 3 hours. The trip was €15 each and well worth it. The female guide was...
A trip through Plaka and up to mountain village to see a church and have a nibble and raki at a bar, chance to purchase drinks and food. Best part was views of bay and Spinalonga and a leisurely 3 hour diversion.
The little train trip was good value, very informative and a relaxing alternative during the holiday.The run up to the mountains giving alternative social views as well as great geography. Try it !
Nice ride. Its a nice way to see the village and the area. Happy train starts from the port of Elounda.
Oh dear chose the blue train which kept breaking down, or to be more specific stopping for a reason were not given an explanation for. I can tell you however we passengers were subjected to thick black smoke from the engine and had to stop on more than several occasions coming out of Plaka on the steep hill. Finally made...

Does it last for over a year?
The products I am familiar with have some starches and some leavening. The starches probably last years, but the leavening may lose its power. Check for 'use by'/'best by' dates. Store in that legendary 'cool dry place' -- you could transfer to a glass jar or put the box in a heavy ziplock bag with the air pressed out before sealing. Don't refrigerate -- it's moist in there.

Handmade Oushak wool run
This rug compliments an antique Persian that we have had 20 + years. Great colors -,very soft. Awesome packaging for a large rug.Read More
Great rug for the price
COLOR: This is for a large family room. The red is more of a striated red and the BLUE border (not black as it looks in the photo) also has slight variations to simulate a vegetable dyed rug. It has a very slightly aged look which is perfect for the room. It's also easier to hide imperfections (or stains if one EATS IN THE FAMILY ROOM EVEN THOUGH THEY"RE NOT SUPPOSED TO! Unfortunately that includes me as well....) SHIPPING: If possible, ask if it will be shipped: rolled or folded. Mine was folded and still has some bumps after a couple of months. HOWEVER, we have this over carpeting until we get the hardwood floors installed. I think that might make a difference. WHEN FIRST OPENED: It sheds. Especially where people sit on the couch and place their feet. But it seems to be slowing down. It had a slight odor that went away in a couple of days. PRICE-VALUE: This is a beautiful rug for the money. I have a hand knotted, vegetable dyed rug and would LOVE to get another, but I priced several and it would cost literally 10 times more money (or the cost of a decent used car) for this size of rug. Yes, there is a difference, but this is not our "forever" house, so I wasn't going to buy a "forever" rug. I'm very happy with the rug - especially for the Overstock price!Read More
what you see is what you get
Rug is thick, soft, appears to be well made, and colors are pretty true to what I saw on my monitor. Slight bit of a greenish beige in secondary design was a surprise, but this does not really pop at all when laid on floor. Classic design and classic colors, have mix of oak and other woods - some new and some antique - in the room and the rug looks great with all on the medium/dark wood floor.Read More
Handmade Oushak Traditional Red Wool Rug
We are so totally in love with this rug! The flowers make me smile and the colors absolutely pull together my dining room. It looks great with blonder wood, and totally pops on our hardwood floors. Other reviews mentioned the dark blue color having an older appearance, which is exactly what we want for our 1924 colonial home. We were anxious about purchasing a rug without seeing or stepping on it, but are no longer worried.Read More
Red Wool Rug
This rug is a great buy. Disappointed it wasn't more "red". It's actually pinker - or a dark coral/brick vs. red. Otherwise, very pleased with the quality of the product.Read More
Beautiful Oushak Rug
The rug looks great in my living room. The colors are exactly what I hoped they would be. The red and navy both have a slightly striated look, which makes it look a little bit aged, but I like it. The rug looks much more expensive than it was and it arrived incredibly fast.Read More

What California state workers earn: SEIU Local 1000
With raises kicking in for most California state employees on July 1, The State Worker is taking a look at 2013 salaries by union bargaining unit.
The numbers feeding this series of blog posts come from the state controller's payroll database. The figures include only full-time employees represented by one of the 21 bargaining units that negotiate contracts with the state. Employees who earned less than $1,000 last year were excluded from the calculations. University of California and California State University employee earnings are not included in these figures.
We also are including data from 2011 and 2012 for purposes of comparison. During the three-year span these numbers cover, most state employees went on and off furlough twice. A new top-step pay increase kicked in last summer. Keep those events in mind as you look at the figures. First up:

An underappreciated MetLife met -0.5539070227497527% MetLife Inc.

Shares of the largest publicly traded U.S. life insurer fetch around $53, just nine times projected 2014 profit of $5.69 a share and 1.1 times a conservative measure of book value that excludes unrealized investment gains -- a figure favored by many analysts and investors. That book value measure stood at $48 at the end of 2013, while stated book was $53.
MetLife's fans say the stock (ticker: MET), now yielding 2.1%, could top $60, supported by rising book value and higher earnings. It also offers a play on both a stronger stock market and higher interest rates. "MetLife is well positioned for when rates rise. It has a superior international operation that benefits from growth in the developed and emerging markets," says Barclays analyst Jay Gelb. He carries an Overweight rating on MetLife and a $62 price target.
Gelb notes that MetLife's price/earnings ratio of around eight based on projected 2015 earnings is the lowest in the life insurance industry and the company's return on equity is near the industry average at around 12%. There are less than 10 companies in the S&P 500 with a lower price/earnings ratio based on estimated 2015 profits.

"MetLife is one of the cheaper stocks in a sector that is, itself, cheap relative to the market," says Eric Hagemann, an analyst at Pzena Investment Management, a MetLife holder. "MetLife has strong domestic franchises, a growing emerging-markets business, and a solid management team focused on ROE [return on equity] expansion, yet the stock trades at a discount to peers on price-to-book value. We believe this gap will close as regulatory overhang disappears and the company resumes stock repurchases," he says.
One reason the shares of the 146-year-old insurer is so cheap: It's one of only a few large financial outfits not buying back any stock.
MetLife and rival life insurer Prudential are awaiting regulatory guidelines on capital and other issues. It's expected that MetLife will be designated a "systemically important financial institution" like the country's largest banks, but the federal regulators have yet to set these rules for life insurers. The regulations aren't expected until late 2014 or 2015 and conservative MetLife has refrained from stock buybacks -- and it is expected to continue to do so -- until the new rules come out. By contrast, Prudential and American International Group AIG 0.036503011498448625% American International Group Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD54.81 0.02 0.036503011498448625% /Date(1427922033266-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7139427 AFTER HOURS USD54.82 0.01 0.01824484583105273% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 41742 P/E Ratio 10.45373920009155 Market Cap 75195771622.7137 Dividend Yield 0.9122422915526364% Rev. per Employee 981769 More quote details and news » (AIG), which both have been designated as SIFIs, have been buying back stock.
While most analysts don't see any buybacks until 2015, MetLife is expected to boost its dividend, now $1.10 annually. The dividend could approach $1.50 in 2015, providing a yield of nearly 3%, up from the current 2.1%. The company has made acquisitions, including the purchase of a Chilean pension administrator for $2 billion last year. If the pending regulatory capital rules turn out to be onerous, it's conceivable that the New York-based insurer could separate into two companies, one domestic and the other international, which could put itself below the threshold for which so-called SIFI rules apply.
BEST KNOWN FOR ITS ADS featuring "Peanuts" comic-strip characters and its ubiquitous blimp, MetLife offers life insurance as well as variable and fixed-rate annuities to individuals, and a range of services to employees of big companies, including dental, disability, and group life insurance. In its corporate benefits unit, it offers guaranteed investment contracts -- which are bond-like investments -- to participants in defined contribution retirement plans.
About 30% of MetLife's profit comes from outside the U.S. The insurer bolstered its overseas business in 2010 with the $16 billion purchase of Alico, formerly owned by AIG. The overseas business, including operations in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia is growing faster than MetLife's U.S. business.
It's making progress in meeting financial targets. MetLife hit the lower end of its 2016 goal of a 12%-14% return on equity during 2013 and its earnings mix is shifting away from more capital-intensive activities like life insurance and annuities. The company is seen as capable of generating mid to high single-digit gains in annual earnings.
If long-term rates rise in the next few years, MetLife would profit because it makes it easier to fund fixed-rate products like annuities and guaranteed investment contracts while cutting risk on certain life and annuity offerings that guarantee holders minimum returns. In fact, MetLife is viewed as one of the biggest beneficiaries of higher rates among big financial companies -- MetLife's market value is $59 billion. The stock's movements often track changes in the 10-year Treasury yield with MetLife rising from the high $30s to $50 last spring as Treasury rates surged.
MetLife also is being helped by a stronger stock market since that lifts fees on equity-sensitive offerings like annuities while lessening the risk that it will have to make good on minimum return guarantees on those equity-oriented products.
IT'S A COMPLEX FIRM with complex accounting and an investment portfolio of almost $500 billion, or about nine times its equity base. That makes it vulnerable to market dislocations and indeed, MetLife shares were crunched in the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
The Bottom Line
The stock could be worth more than $60 a share, or about 20% above its recent level, based on rising book value and higher profits. It's also expected to lift its dividend.
Since 2008, MetLife has sought to reduce its business risk and current CEO Steven Kandarian, who took the top job two years ago, has made that a continuing priority. MetLife has stopped selling new long-term care insurance policies -- a business that has stung MetLife and other insurers -- and it has stopped offering a type of universal life insurance that carried elevated risk. MetLife also has pared sales of variable annuities, while cutting the annuity roll-up rate, or the rate at which benefits increase regardless of performance of the underlying investments. This reduces MetLife's risk if equity markets tumble. Variable annuity guarantees were a problem for life insurers during the financial crisis.
It's a plus that Kandarian -- as well as other top executives–have a financial background. One risk with a life insurer is that it tries to sell more products that boost current earnings but expose the company to considerable risk in rocky financial markets.
In a record stock market, MetLife offers a nice package for investors: a rock-bottom P/E and price/book ratio, an attractive global franchise, and a financially astute management team.

My first Macgillivrayi x Archboldiana flowers
I'd like to share with you,
my first Macgillivrayi x Archboldiana flowers.
This plant is about 3 year, from TG's cutting.
I had been watching the buds every day, almost a month, today is the big day for me. They are so beautiful with little touch of fragrance like jasmine, very pleasant.
Thanks you for looking.
WOW...AMAZING! That is truly beautiful Sue! Thanks so much for posting. I bet the plant gets pretty big...I wish I had room for that hoya. The flowers are so pretty!
Never knew that cross even existed...So many different hoyas, its so hard to keep up,lol...
Thanks you everyone again.
This plant is not a fast grower, I was surprise when I see peduncles. In 3 years, it grown about 6 feet only, also have 2 peduncles last year, but it fell.
I think this plant like cool weather, I put out side in March, 60F daytime, 45f night, and did not lost any flower.

Mesa 10.2 Improves Linux's Open-Source Graphics Drivers 58
from the onward-and-upward dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I've been following Mesa's development for some time while working on some cross-platform 3D graphics stuff.
Right now Mesa's OpenGL implementation for Intel HD Graphics 4000+ is probably more complete than the Windows driver's. This isn't exactly a trivial accomplishment. A working OpenGL 3.3 implementation is more than what Apple offered for a long time.
Some GL features are obviously not as well optimized in Mesa, but many of them are so bad they're at least "considered harmful" anyway. And with 10.2 we got gems like ARB_buffer_storage, which basically removes the API overhead from accessing the GPU's memory. No more unpredictable stalls while writing data!

Need the perfect blue/gray color!
Hi Everyone,
I just painted my bathroom the perfect blue gray color, or so I thought. I did everything I could to be sure it was what I wanted. I painted a sample on the wall and everything. I ended up going with Santorini Blue and it turned out to be much to bright of a blue in my bathroom.
What I really want is the perfect balance of blue/gray, with maybe a little more emphasis on the gray. My bathroom is very small, and it's the only full bath in our house, so I don't want people to have to squint when they come into the bathroom because of it's brightness.
I was reading some other posts on here about BM Nantucket Fog. Has anyone used this in their bathroom? Do you have other suggestions for the perfect blue/gray color. I see it on HGTV all the time and no one ever tells what the color is. I prefer to use a paint I get get locally at BM or Lowes.
Take a look at Sherwin Williams Underseas SW6214.
February's issue of Better Homes and Gardens has it pictured on page 48. It looks pretty, but I don't know how it compares to Santorini. Sherwin Williams will mix samples for $4.99 for almost a quart of paint.
