As a result there are few serious pests in alfalfa Alfalfa Benefits III Nitrogen fixing plant Can credit over 100 lbs N for next year's crop and 50 lbs N for the year after that Nitrogen scavenger Can pick up nitrogen that has moved below the root zone of other rotational crops – to 10 feet and beyond in deep soils Alfalfa Benefits IV Increase livestock performance (output) in grazed pastures Higher protein forage Expands mineral content of diet (deep roots) Have to manage for Bloat Increased performance usually outweighs risks Depends on the manager's risk tolerance Alfalfa and Perennial Pastures fit Uncertain water situations Alfalfa and perennial forages are the best fit for uncertain irrigation supplies More reliable 6 Adapted to 5 Yield (tons/acre) precipitation 4 3 seasonality 2 1 Dormancy survival 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 Water use (acre-in) Alfalfa Requirements High Phosphorus and Potassium feeder More seasonal work 3, 4, or 5 cuttings Irrigation from March to October Manual stacking of small bales Haying equipment (different from row crops) Equipment for hauling hay to market Swather, windrow inverter, bailer, stacker Tarp or shed for covering bales Organic Production Similar to Conventional - Exceptions: Requires Federal Certification to call it Organic Organic seed (if available - must document) Untreated seed Non-GMO (no use of Roudup-ready alfalfa) Organic Fertilizer sources Biointensive IPM for Pest Management (Pests = Insects, weeds, diseases, rodents, etc) Excellent Pest Tolerance starts with Healthy Alfalfa Seed for a dense stand Well drained site with productive soil Fertilize based on soil & water test levels Seed at12 to 15 lbs PLS./acre – preferably drilled Firm and pest free seed bed (all pests) Appropriately timed – Front range & High plains April 10th to 20th & August 15th to Sept 5th Manage for stand health Remove weak stands Manage for Stand Health Understand risks of tillage, compaction, & overwatering & poor drainage Tillage causes crown injury and allows soil diseases to infect plant Injury directly proportional to degree of tillage crown rot: the primary cause of alfalfa stand loss Compaction limits root development and increases chances for water-logging soils Standing water and saturated soils kill alfalfa Diseases & direct drowning of roots & crowns Experience with Alfalfa Health Some farmers find that healthier alfalfa stands are less likely to be damaged by weevils Some even use refractometers to monitor alfalfa plant health Refractometers index plant sugar levels "equivalent to taking a plant's pulse rate and blood pressure" Biointensive IPM for Alfalfa Biointensive IPM incorporates ecological and economic factors into agricultural system design and decision making. In doing so, it addresses public concerns about environmental quality and food safety. Biointensive IPM addresses the following questions: Why is the pest there? How did it arrive? Why doesn't the parasite/predator complex control the pest? What pest management techniques are most suited to protecting the crop and restoring the natural Agroecosystem to a natural balance with the lowest monetary and environmental costs?

Solarization Graze off at bud stage (consume & solarize) Can also reduce cool season weeds Mix alfalfa with grass to reduce impact and enhance beneficial populations Harvesting alternative strips dramatically increases the beneficial populations Alfalfa Weevil (continued) Flaming alfalfa can complement weevil management and reduce winter annual weeds. Timing: Early Spring near dormancy break Mid spring growth (following a very early cut) Following first cutting harvest Alfalfa Weevil (continued): Flaming Kansas study: Flaming alfalfa reduced weevil larvae from 2.2 to 0.3 per stem in the first year and 2.7 to 0.9 the second year of the study California study: In addition to weevil control, flaming alfalfa can reduce weed levels: 75% tansy mustard & shepherds purse at 22 gallons propane per acre & 50% at 11 gallons per acre Alfalfa Weevil (continued) One recommendation is to take the last cutting of alfalfa as late in the season as possible. This "may" reduce weevil damage on the next crop Another is to graze off top growth well after freezing. However, both techniques can reduce winter hardiness. (rebuild plant energy, trap moisture & even out soil temperature fluctuations in the winter) Alfalfa Weevil (continued) Adult weevils overwinter in alfalfa fields & adjacent field margins and grass areas Release of biocontrols for alfalfa weevil New released biocontrol agents often take at least three years to bring prey under control Try to conserve natural beneficial populations in and around field margins Bathyplectes curculionis is very effective in the West Alfalfa Weevil (continued) Natural pesticides for alfalfa weevil control Neem – acting as a toxicant, insect growth regulator, and antifeedant. Neem worked in caged tests in fields 2.5% and 5% seed suspensions applied four times at weekly intervals completely interrupted the larval development of the weevil pest and increased yields Consider organic pesticide use as one tool and normally the one of "last resort" Any pesticide, including organics, can disrupt the natural balance between pest and beneficial populations Army Cutworm Night feeding (will climb and defoliate) Rests under ground near crown during day Cutworms have many natural predators and parasites Apply "natural pesticides" at night BT spray or BT Baits (rolled oats & molasses) Thyme's essential oils Neemix Botanical Insecticide Others (Check Colorado Licensing of these products) Incidental arthropod pests Most of the listed incidental pests have plenty of natural enemies and are rarely encountered in Colorado Enhance beneficial populations (easier to accomplish in organic fields than in conventional) Harvest early to remove pest threat Blister Beetle Second and later cutting pest affecting horses Considered beneficial since larvae feed primarily on grasshopper eggs Adults are attracted to flowering crop or flowering weeds in or near crop margin Harvest before bloom and control weeds Adults mass on a few plants in a small area Concentrated in one or a few bales Alfalfa Diseases Soil health management is the key to successful control of plant diseases Soil borne diseases are the primary Colorado alfalfa problems Stem nematode near soil surface.

Plant alfalfa in weed free fields Clean fields are essential with "solo" alfalfa seedings Nearly as important with nurse crop plantings Pre-plan and manage weeds (gophers) in previous crops Use tillage or burning to eliminate weeds prior to planting Both practices "burn off" soil organic matter Natural Stand Decline Alfalfa stands naturally thin out with age 2 to 4 productive years are common especially with intensive dairy hay cropping Know when to take out an unproductive alfalfa stand A weedy stand usually indicates when it's time to rotate to another crop Determining When to Eliminate an Alfalfa Stand When & How? The best time is in the fall after the final cut but any time will do. Make the counts after 4 to 6 inch re-growth Make several (10 to 20) random stand counts throughout the field Pre determine your threshold level <40 to 45 plants per square foot are recommended. Stands should also be evaluated for disease, weed, and gophers Eliminate a stand if severe crown rot is common Eliminate stands if significant stem nematode infestations are present Mustards and dandilion may be influential Gophers and other rodents may also determine whether to keep a stand Irrigated Pasture Grazing A discussion for another day and time Contact me later Bruce Bosley firstname.lastname@example.com Office phone: (970)522-3200, x 285 Seeding & Growing for Alfalfa Health Site Suitability Alfalfa grown on subirrigated sites should have permanently wet soil at least 3 feet, and preferably 6 or more feet, below the soil surface. Avoid poorly drained soils or those with high water tables Alfalfa is also poorly suited for saline or shallow soils Soil Fertility Most soils in Colorado need phosphorus Manure and Compost are excellent sources Not all Organic phosphorus sources are plant available in Western high pH soils Phosphorus fertilizers can be broadcast and incorporated prior to seeding Top-dressed applications on standing forages are useful but not as available as incorporated Soil Fertility (cont) Nitrogen is generally not beneficial to alfalfa. 10 to 15 pounds N can enhance sandy soil alfalfa establishment. (manure & compost) Check for Nitrogen in Irrigation Water Soil Fertility (cont) Check K, Fe, Zn, B levels in soil Check for Boron levels in Irrigation Water These are found in Manure & compost Organic matter provides natural chelates for keeping the fertilizer elements from being tied up in high (or low) pH soils. Alfalfa Seeding - Seedbeds Alfalfa seeds need good soil contact and soil moisture for rapid emergence Footprints should sink in about 1/2 inch with a well packed alfalfa seedbed No-till and reduced tilled seedbeds are useful with the right planter and right planting pre- planning and residue management No-till & stubble plantings Plant residue or stubble can be used effectively to minimize erosion. No-till seeding into small grain stubble can be particularly effective. Annual weeds and volunteer grains must be eliminated prior to seeding (sweeps or flaming) use special no-till drills to seed into small grain stubble Excessive straw confounds stubble seeding Reduced and no-till alfalfa plantings require good pre-planning Crop preceding alfalfa must fit the tillage plan Residue management needs considering Should pre-fertilize for the alfalfa crop prior to planting the "bridge" crop especially when turning under manure and/or compost. Manage alfalfa weeds and rodents in previous crops Reduced tillage drills The Most reliable seeding method uses a drill equipped with depth bands and packer wheels. Good on most field sites and conditions. Or use seeding equipment that places seed between two corrugated rollers Best Suited to: fine-textured soils With good moisture retention Not on erosive sites/soils. Use of Companion Crop Companion crops also reduce the hazard of erosion but must be removed before they compete with new alfalfa seedlings Harvest companion small grain at or before boot stage Use only when protection is needed! Companion Crops Companion crops compete with alfalfa seedlings for light, moisture, and soil nutrients Small grain companion crops should be harvested as forage no later than the boot stage. Waiting to harvest grain from companion crops risks stand loss of alfalfa. Oats are an excellent companion crop for fall- or spring- seeded alfalfa. Seed only 15 to 20 pounds of oats per acre Only use oats that are free of weed seed. Wheat, rye, and barley are often too competitive Seeding depth Seed alfalfa 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in fine textured soils and 3/4 inch deep in sandy soils Many alfalfa seedings fail because of planting too deep Some fail due to poor moisture conditions or surface crusting Rectify this with high residue plantings Seeding Rates 12 to 14 lbs per acre on irrigated fields 8 to 10 lbs/acre on dryland fields Use lower rates when mixing with perennial cool season grass mixtures Inoculate seed where no alfalfa has been grown in the past (>10 years) Planting Dates Seed alfalfa between April 15 and May 5 August seeding can succeed if soil moisture is favorable Weeds can be a problem for spring seeding August seeding avoids most weed problems Dryland seeding is more risky due to potential for lack of adequate rainfall Avoid Frost and Drought Frost damage is minimized by planting within these recommended planting dates. Early Seedlings are frost resistant Emergence through cotyledon stage Seedlings are frost susceptible until the third trifoliate leaf is formed 1st trifoliate and 2nd trifoliate stage don't have enough crown energy reserves Drought stress is more often the cause of dryland planting failures Delay harvest on Newly Established Alfalfa Stands Do not harvest alfalfa seeded in August until the following spring. Allow spring and August seedings to start to bloom before the first harvest. Thereafter, harvest at 1/10 bloom Soil Compaction Alfalfa production develops soil structure Soil Structural Strength can be dense but is not necessarily compacted Compaction studies in Alfalfa have not shown conclusive evidence that in-crop efforts at removing compaction are effective Don't compact in the first place Keep off wet fields when possible

Whacked this, stood it up and repotted.
A little more whacking might be in order.
But pretty trick, it is now.
Repotted this monster.
One more picture of the 2 jades.
Sunk these older cuttings into bonsai-land.
Here's some flowering epis
and one of my amarylis.
Amarylis kept outside will flower now in Cali.
Nice complement to the epis.
Thanks for the advice and thanks for looking!

Strawberries as groundcover
I replaced a strip of grass leading off our patio with flagstone pavers. I had wild strawberry growing on my paths and between cracks in my patio. I decided to use it for one stretch of pavers. It has filled in beautifully besides giving sweet, tiny berries. For another stretch I used Viola labradorica and on still another section Tiarella cordiolia. All are doing great. For years I have had a large number of concrete pavers linking the front lawn with the back woods. For groundcover here I have used Green-and-Gold, Chrysogonum virginianum. Spectacular in the spring when it flowers and nice and green the rest of the year.
Your post really did not require any response but brought some thoughts. At my daughter's house the two sorts of pink or red flowering hybrid strawberry plants, one called 'Lipstick' have spread aggressivly in her front sunny bed and make an interesting and colorful groundcover. She has, on a weekly basis, the need to turn the runners back into the bed before they invade the lawn. I suppose she could use a string trimmer or lawn edger to cut them off. They do not seem to smother or successfully inhibit many sorts of weeds but do give a summertime scattering of bright flowers and an occasional small berry.

I don't think the canon end of service date for the Soyuz should really be a determining factor for if the ship is in the game in the first place.Like Nighthawk said we have an NX not to mention an Oberth, and Constitution. Then there's always the argument that Starfleet could create a design now that looked like the Soyuz. Given how mean that "sensor pod" looks it wouldn't be hard to imagine a C-Store Soyuz look alike that has some sort of weapon there, powered by a special console or built in power.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Mary Ladd interviews Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland's Councilmember At-Large, who was recently re-elected and is a champion of food businesses as a way to grow and ultimately improve the city.
Small food business partners Valerie Luu & Katie Kwan of Rice Paper Scissors, a pop-up cafe serving Vietnamese food located in San Francisco, share their vision: integrating their eastern culinary heritage with the trending western street food culture.
Eaten hot, straight from the oven, these scones are light and chewy inside, crunchy golden on the outside, and pure comfort all over.
Mary Ladd interviews chef Yigit Pura, who shares what it's like to open a popular patisserie, write a cookbook and craft recipes. Pura is passionate about pastry and eager to get consumers interested in baking with unusual "adventure" ingredients.
Humble and homey, bagels are having their moment in Oakland. Beauty's Bagel Shop and Authentic Bagel Company offer two new spots for Oaklanders to get their schmear on.
Last year something was missing from Thanksgiving festivities in the Bay Area–Dungeness crab. Crabbers were on strike but fortunately, that was not the case this year. Here are some places to find Dungeness in the Bay Area.
I admit it, I'm one of those people that loves taking photos of their food as much as they love eating it. This past Thanksgiving, we joined four friends in San Francisco for a wonderful potluck dinner. Here's a collection of images from our sumptuous holiday feast.
It's the day after Thanksgiving. You might be getting up at 3AM to stampede through Best Buy for that brand-new-tv-your-partner-must-have-for-Christmas, or you just might spend the day lounging around. Either way, this recipe is a good place to start. It's full of flavor, decadent and bound to be a favorite.
What are you drinking for Thanksgiving? This year, I'm toasting with dry, autumn-golden hard cider made by Sebastopol's Tilted Shed Ciderworks, as craft cider makes a comeback in the Bay Area.
Kim O'Donnel, author of The Meat Lover's Meatless Celebrations, dishes with Sarah Henry about serving a fun, festive holiday feast without the beast.
What can you tell from those numbers on fruit and vegetable stickers? The price look-up (PLU) code system used by most produce distributors has the side benefit of allowing consumers to identify conventional and organic produce at the grocery store.
Food banks are in the business of combating hunger — and they want to nourish their clients too. Sarah Henry reports on a new initiative designed to help places like the Alameda County Community Food Bank better serve people in need of a good feed.
Sweet, tart, with a subtle kick of jalapeno and a twist of lime, this cranberry relish packs a punch of flavor.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner — but some local food banks are reporting a lack of donations. KQED's Forum talks with local food banks about food shortages and what people can do to help.

An endowment of $25,000 is M&T�s goal, in addition to the annual financial award for students until the earnings from the endowment fund the scholarships. The move to establish the endowment is a demonstration of M&T Bank�s commitment to invest in students with promise. This principle aligns with the college�s core value to be intentionally diverse�providing educational access and support to motivated students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
M&T Bank officials, Paula Mandell, Regional President; Ira Brown, Administrative Vice President and Commercial Lending Group Manager and Jennifer Kooney, Assistant Vice President in M&T�s Commercial Lending Group, were joined by Nyack�s new president, Dr. Michael G.

George Iain Duncan Smith (born 9 April 1954; often referred to by his initials "IDS") is a British Conservative politician. He is currently the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and was previously leader of the Conservative Party from September 2001 to October 2003.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iain_Duncan_Smith Iain Duncan Smith From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In this name, the family name is Duncan Smith, not Smith. George Iain Duncan Smith (born 9 April 1954; often referred to by his initials "IDS") is a British Conservative politician. He is currently the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and was previously leader of the Conservative Party from September 2001 to October 2003. He was first elected to parliament at the 1992 general election as the MP for Chingford and has represented its successor constituency of Chingford and Woodford Green since the 1997 general election. Duncan Smith was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and served in the Scots Guards from 1975 to 1981, with service in Northern Ireland and Rhodesia. He joined the Conservative Party in 1981, and was elected as a Member of Parliament in 1992. When William Hague resigned as Conservative Party leader in 2001, Duncan Smith won the subsequent leadership election, bolstered by the support of Margaret Thatcher and his Eurosceptic ideology. Duncan Smith was the first Roman Catholic to serve as Conservative Party leader, and the first born in Scotland since Arthur Balfour. In 2003, the Conservative Party passed a Vote of No Confidence in Duncan Smith, as many considered him unable to return the party to government. He resigned, and was succeeded as party leader by Michael Howard. As a backbencher, Duncan Smith founded the Centre for Social Justice, a centre- right think tank independent of the Conservative Party and became a published novelist. On 12 May 2010, Conservative leader and Prime Minister David Cameron appointed Duncan Smith to serve in the cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. Early life Duncan Smith was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1954. He is the son of W. G. G. Duncan Smith, a Royal Air Force Group Captain highly decorated in World War II, and Pamela Summers, a ballerina; they married in 1946. Duncan Smith's matrilineal great-grandmother was a Japanese woman, Ellen Oshey Matsumuro, who married Pamela's grandfather, merchant seaman Captain Samuel Lewis Shaw. He is thus one-eighth Japanese (Yonsei).[1] Other relatives include British Canadian CBC wartime broadcaster Peter Stursberg, whose 2002 book No Foreign Bones in China records the story of the Anglo-Japanese couple, and his son, current CBC vice-president Richard Stursberg.[2] Through Captain Shaw, Duncan Smith is also a distant relative (3rd cousin once removed) of George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright and socialist.[3] Education Duncan Smith was educated at St. Peter's RC Secondary School, Solihull until the age of 14[4] and was subsequently educated at HMS Conway, a naval training school on the isle of Anglesey (where he allegedly played rugby union in the position of fly-half alongside Clive Woodward at centre) until he was 18. He then also attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Military service He was commissioned into the Scots Guards as a second lieutenant on 28 June 1975. He was assigned the service number 500263.[5] He was promoted to lieutenant on 28 June 1977.[6] He was moved to the Regular Army Reserve of Officers on 2 April 1981, signalling his retirement from the military.[7] His six-year service including spells in Northern Ireland and Rhodesia, where he served as aide-de-camp to Major-General Sir John Acland[8] Other work On leaving the Guards, Duncan Smith joined the Conservative Party and took up employment at the General Electric Company in 1981. Political career Member of Parliament At the 1987 general election, Duncan Smith contested the constituency of Bradford West, where he was defeated by the incumbent Labour Party MP Max Madden. At the 1992 general election, he stood in the constituency of Chingford (where the Conservative MP, Norman Tebbit, was retiring), and was elected to parliament. (Following boundary changes, Duncan Smith's constituency became Chingford and Woodford Green in 1997.) A committed Eurosceptic, Duncan Smith was a constant thorn in the side of Prime Minister John Major's government in 1992–97, disrupting Major's pro- European agenda at the time (something that would often be raised during his own subsequent leadership when he called for the party to unite behind him). Duncan Smith remained on the backbenches until 1997, when the new Conservative leader William Hague brought him into the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Social Security Secretary. In 1999, Duncan Smith was moved to replace John Maples as Shadow Defence Secretary. Leader of the Conservative Party William Hague resigned after the Labour Party's victory in the 2001 general election. On 13 September 2001, Duncan Smith won the Conservative Party leadership election. He had initially been seen as an outsider candidate, but his support was bolstered when Margaret Thatcher publicly announced her support for him. His victory in the contest was helped by the fact that his opponent in the final vote of party members was Kenneth Clarke, whose strong support for the European Union was at odds with the views of much of the party. As a mark of respect for the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, the announcement of Duncan Smith's victory in the leadership contest was delayed until 13 September 2001. In November 2001, he was one of the first politicians to call for an invasion of Iraq and held talks in Washington, DC, with senior US officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and Paul Wolfowitz.[10] In local elections, the only elections in which Duncan Smith led the party, the Conservatives gained over 500 extra seats on local councils, primarily in England. Problems as leader In 2002, Michael Crick on the TV programme Newsnight caused some embarrassment when probing Duncan Smith's curriculum vitae, which had been in circulation for years, for example, being reproduced in the authoritative annual Dod's Parliamentary Companion for the previous ten years. The CV claimed that he had attended the University of Perugia when he had in fact attended the Università per Stranieri, which did not grant any degrees at that time, and a claim that he had attended the prestigious-sounding Dunchurch College of Management turned out to refer to some weekend courses at GEC Marconi's staff college. Duncan Smith proved not to be a particularly effective public speaker in the rowdy atmosphere of Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons. His seeming troubles with a "frog in his throat" throughout most of his two years as leader prompted Private Eye to refer to him incessantly as "Iain Duncan Cough". As well as this, there were continued rumours of discontent among his backbenchers, not dampened by his warning to his party in November 2002: "My message is simple and stark, unite or die". The 2002 Conservative Party conference saw an attempt to turn Duncan Smith's lack of charisma into a positive attribute, with his much-quoted line, "do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man". The line was as much derided as it was admired. During PMQs, Labour backbenchers would raise their fingers to their lips and say "shush" when he was speaking. The following year, Duncan Smith's conference speech appeared to have abandoned this technique in favour of an aggressive hard-man approach that few found convincing, even if the party members in the hall punctuated the speech with several ovations. The most remembered sound bite from the speech was his, "the quiet man is here to stay, and he's turning up the volume." Duncan Smith stated in December 2002 that he intended to be party leader for a "very long time to come." This did little to quell the speculation in Westminster regarding his future. On 21 February 2003, The Independent newspaper published a story saying that a number of MPs were attempting to start the process of petitioning for a vote of no confidence in Duncan Smith, as many Conservative MPs considered him to be unelectable. These worries came to a head in October 2003. Michael Crick revealed that he had compiled embarrassing evidence, this time of dubious salary claims Duncan Smith made on behalf of his wife that were paid out of the public purse from September 2001 to December 2002. The ensuing scandal, known as "Betsygate" weakened his already tenuous position. Vote of no confidence Under leadership vote of confidence rules, 15% of Conservative MPs (at this point twenty-five MPs) had to write to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee demanding the vote. On 26 October, amid mounting claims that the threshold of 25 was about to be reached, Duncan Smith made an appearance on television daring his opponents to show their hand by the evening of 29 October or to withdraw their challenge. He also stated that he would not step down if a vote was called. Duncan Smith's demand that 25 MPs write to the Chairman by 29 October had no bearing on party regulations. Had the votes not been delivered until later, the vote of no confidence would still have gone ahead. Nevertheless, by 28 October, 25 Conservative MPs had indeed signed on to demand a vote. After the vote was announced, Duncan Smith made an appearance in front of Conservative Party headquarters in Smith Square, where he stated that he was "absolutely" going to contest the vote, which was held on 29 October. He lost by 90 votes to 75. He stepped down as leader eight days later when Michael Howard was confirmed as his successor (Howard was unopposed for the role and so no election was required). Duncan Smith followed William Hague as only the second Conservative Party leader since Austen Chamberlain not to have become Prime Minister and was the first since Neville Chamberlain not to have led the party in a general election. Return to the backbenches After his term as party leader, Duncan Smith established the Centre for Social Justice in 2004. This organisation is a centre-right think tank which works with small charities with the aim of finding innovative policies for tackling poverty. (Duncan Smith served as the centre's Chairman until he joined the Cabinet in May 2010, and remains its Life Patron.[14]) He also served under Michael Howard on the Conservative Party's advisory council, along with John Major, William Hague and Kenneth Clarke.[15] On 7 December 2005, Duncan Smith was appointed Chairman of the Social Justice Policy Group, which was facilitated by the Centre for Social Justice. The group's aim was to "study the causes and consequences of poverty in Britain and seek practical ideas to empower the least well-off," and was one of several that were set up by Conservative Party leader David Cameron. Duncan Smith's Deputy Chair was Debbie Scott, the Chief Executive of the charity Tomorrow's People. The group released two major reports, "Breakdown Britain" and"Breakthrough Britain". "Breakdown Britain"[16] was a three hundred thousand word document that analysed what was going wrong in the areas of Economic Dependence and Unemployment, Family Breakdown, Addiction, Educational Failure, Indebtedness, and the Voluntary Sector. "Breakthrough Britain"[17] recommended almost two hundred policy ideas using broadly the same themes. On their website the group claimed that the Government has so far taken on sixteen of the recommendations, and the Conservatives twenty-nine. Duncan Smith was re-elected comfortably in Chingford and Woodford Green at the 2005 general election, almost doubling his majority, and remained a backbencher for the Conservative Party. He has been Member of Parliament for Chingford and Woodford Green since 1997, having succeeded Norman Tebbit as MP for the predecessor constituency of Chingford at the 1992 general election.[18] In September 2006 he was one of fourteen authors of a report concerning Anti- Semitism in Britain. He was also one of the only early supporters[19] of the Iraq surge policy. In September 2007, he called for Britain to withdraw from the war against Afghanistan and to fight in the war in Iraq indefinitely.[20] In his 2009 Conservative Party Conference speech, Conservative Party leader David Cameron signalled that Duncan Smith might serve in his Cabinet, with responsibility for social justice, should he be called upon to form an administration after the next general election. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Following the 2010 general election, the Conservative Party formed coalition government with the Liberal Democrats, with David Cameron as Prime Minister. Cameron appointed Duncan Smith to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with responsibility for seeing through changes to the welfare state. Outlining the scale of the problem, Duncan Smith said almost five million people were on unemployment benefits, 1.4 million of whom had been receiving support for nine or more of the last 10 years. In addition, 1.4 million under-25s were neither working nor in full-time education. "This picture is set against a backdrop of 13 years of continuously increasing expenditure, which has outstripped inflation," he said. "Worse than the growing expense though, is the fact that the money is not even making the impact we want it to. He continued saying "A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate."[21] It was also announced that Duncan Smith will chair a new Cabinet Committee, involving Cabinet members from the Treasury, Home Office, Health, and Communities and Local Government departments, to tackle the underlying causes of poverty. In June 2010, Duncan Smith said that the Government will encourage people to work for longer by making it illegal for companies to force staff to give up work at 65. At the same time, the age at which employees can claim the state pension will rise to 66 as soon as 2016 for men – 10 years earlier than the last government had decreed. Life expectancy is currently 77.4 for men and 81.6 for women. At present rates, there will be three people in their nineties for every newborn by 2050. Duncan Smith told The Daily Telegraph that the radical pension reform he will oversee was designed to "reinvigorate retirement". "People are living longer and healthier lives than ever, and the last thing we want is to lose their skills and experience from the workplace due to an arbitrary age limit," he said. "Now is absolutely the right time to live up to our responsibility to reform our outdated pension system and to take action where the previous government failed to do so. If Britain is to have a stable, affordable pension system, people need to work longer, but we will reward their hard work with a decent state pension that will enable them to enjoy quality of life in their retirement. He continued saying, "That is why we are issuing a call for evidence on moving the state pension age to 66, and thereafter plan to take a frank look at the relationship between state pension age and life expectancy." The announcement coincides with John Hutton, the former Labour minister, beginning a review of public sector pensions which is expected to recommend that staff contributions increase substantially as soon as 2011.[22] In July 2010, Duncan Smith said that more workers will have to wait until they are 68 to claim their state pension as the Government speeds up plans to raise the retirement age saying the move would save billions of pounds. Labour set out plans to increase the retirement age to 66 by 2024 and 68 by 2046 to reflect growing life expectancy. Before the election, the Tories suggested that it should rise to 66 sooner – by 2016. Duncan Smith said workers would have to accept even quicker increases as Britain tightens its belt. The Government's timetable suggests that the retirement age is likely to reach 68 by 2038, meaning millions more will be forced to wait for their pension.[23] On 30 July 2010, Duncan Smith announced a series of reforms that are intended to ensure that low earners will always be better off in employment. They are in a document that will form the basis of a White Paper to be published this autumn and herald the end of Labour's complicated tax credits system, with many benefits being rolled into one. "After years of piecemeal reform the current welfare system is complex and unfair," said Duncan Smith. One example cited by Duncan Smith involves the case of a lone parent with three school-age children earning £7.50 an hour as an office administrator. Working 23 hours a week, he says, she would have a net weekly income (including benefits and tax credits) of £345 after paying rent and council tax. However, if she were to increase her hours to 34 a week she would get only about £10 more due to a loss of benefits.[24] The new system will be called the Universal Credit. In November 2010, as Work and Pensions Secretary, Duncan Smith said a major shake-up in the welfare system would benefit all those who "play by the rules". The plan, which will see people who refuse to take up job opportunities stripped of benefits for up to three years, is part of a "contract" with the unemployed. Duncan Smith said simplifying the welfare system would ensure "work always pays more" than relying on the state by easing the rate at which benefits are withdrawn as income rises. In a Commons statement on 11 November 2010, he said: "This is our contract: we make work pay and support you through the Work Programme to find a job. "But in return, if we do that, we also expect co-operation from those who are seeking work. "That is why we are developing a regime of sanctions for those who refuse to play by the rules as well as targeted work activity for those who need to get used to the habits of work".[25] Duncan Smith, in December 2011 has drawn up proposals to stop "under- employed" people "topping up" their wages with hand-outs when they are capable of working for longer. Individuals will be told they must earn a minimum amount each week from their jobs and will face being stripped of their housing benefit and tax credits if they fall short, under the plan. The reforms, which could come into force from 2013, mark the latest stage of Mr Duncan Smith's drive to encourage more people to move from a dependency on benefits to earning a living through work. Duncan Smith said benefit claimants "must take responsibility for themselves" and their families. "We are already requiring people on out of work benefits to do more to prepare for and look for work," he said. "Now we are looking to change the rules for those who are in-work and claiming benefits, so that once they have overcome their barriers and got into work, in time they can reduce their dependency or come off benefits altogether."[26] In January 2012 Duncan Smith said that imposing a planned £26,000-a-year benefits cap would not lead to a rise in homelessness or child poverty. He admitted that peers may want to "vent" their feelings over the cap, the equivalent of £35,000 before tax, but said it would help families who are trapped by a dependence on benefits. "The reality is that with £26,000 a year, it's very difficult to believe that families will be plunged into poverty – children or adults," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "Capping at average earnings of £35,000 before tax and £26,000 after, actually means that we are going to work with families make sure that they will find a way out."[27] He added that there would still be some flexibility in the system to help struggling families who were genuinely attempting to get back into work. Mr Duncan Smith said: "For people who fall out of work, we have always said there will be discretionary measures to make sure that this does not punish people but we make sure that we help them to change their circumstances. "For those who are doing the right thing who have fallen out of work, we will support them and make sure they get back to work. "Councils will be able to work with certain key families who may need a little bit more time to make some changes to their circumstances while they push them through the cap and into new housing."[27] In June 2012 Duncan Smith argued that families should work at least 35 hours a week, rather than rely on state handouts, if they want to avoid their children living in poverty. Duncan Smith, said that Labour's strategy to spend more than £150 billion in extra benefit payments for poor families had failed to stop child poverty. Figures published show that the Government failed to meet its statutory target to halve the problem by 2010 – despite the huge amount of taxpayers' money spent on tackling it. Duncan Smith unveiled a new analysis which will show that hundreds of thousands of children will be lifted out of poverty if at least one of their parents works 35 hours a week earning the minimum wage. The introduction of the universal credit, under the Government's welfare reforms, will mean that people returning to work from benefits will continue to receive some state support. Mr Duncan Smith will also set out plans to change the definition of child poverty so that a more sophisticated analysis is used. He said that the strategy has failed and parents need to be helped back to work rather than simply subsidised by the state. He said: "With the right support, a child growing up in a dysfunctional household, who was destined for a lifetime on benefits could be put on an entirely different track — one which sees them move into fulfilling and sustainable work. In doing so, they will pull themselves out of poverty."[28] In the September 2012 reshuffle, Duncan Smith was offered the job at the Ministry of Justice replacing Kenneth Clarke but declined to remain in his current post.[29] Political views Iain Duncan Smith has become significantly involved in issues of family and social breakdown. He has stated his support for early interventions to reduce and prevent social breakdown.[30] During Duncan Smith's leadership campaign in 2001, he changed his stance on the now repealed Section 28 from opposing repeal to supporting it.[31] In 2003, Duncan Smith's decision to compromise on repeal of Section 28 was described as "illogical" and "messy" by other Conservative MPs.[32] Views on marriage In December 2010 Duncan Smith studied a state-sponsored relationship education programme in Norway, under which couples are forced to "think again" and confront the reality of divorce before formally separating. The policy has been credited with reversing Norway's trend for rising divorce rates and halting the decline of marriage in the country over the past 15 years. Duncan Smith said he was keen to explore ways in which similar approaches could be encouraged in Britain. Officials point out that such a programme would be expensive but an approach could reduce the long-term cost of family breakdown, which has been estimated at up to £100 billion. Duncan Smith said couples in Norway were able to "work through what is going to happen with their children", which has "a very big effect on their thinking". "Many of them think again about what they are going to embark on once they really understand the consequences of their actions subsequently," he said.[33] Duncan Smith said in February 2011 that it is "absurd and damaging" for ministers not to extol the benefits of marriage for fear of stigmatising those who choose not to marry. Duncan Smith said: "We do a disservice to society if we ignore the evidence which shows that stable families tend to be associated with better outcomes for children." He added: "There are few more powerful tools for promoting stability than the institution of marriage." He added that "The financial costs of family breakdown are incredibly high. But what is most painful to see is the human cost – the wasted potential, the anti-social behaviour, and the low self- esteem."[34] In late April 2012, Duncan Smith signalled his support for same-sex marriage on the basis that it would promote stability in relationships.[35] Views on immigration In July 2011 Duncan Smith said that tighter immigration controls are vital if Britain is to avoid "losing another generation to dependency and hopelessness". In a speech delivered in Spain he said that only immigrants with "something to offer" should be allowed into the country and that too often foreign workers purporting to be skilled take low-skilled jobs that could be occupied by British school leavers. According to the Daily Telegraph's analysis, the speech contained a warning to David Cameron "that a 'slack' attitude to immigration will result in the Coalition repeating the mistakes made under Labour, when the vast majority of new jobs generated before the recession were taken by immigrants". However, the published text of the speech does not refer to the prime minister in its comments on "seeing the situation repeat itself, with more than half of the rise in employment in the past year accounted for by foreign nationals". Mr Duncan Smith believes that some companies are using immigration as "an excuse to import labour to take up posts which could be filled by people already in Britain". He says Britain needs an immigration system that gives the unemployed "a level playing field". "If we do not get this right then we risk leaving more British citizens out of work, and the most vulnerable group who will be the most affected are young people," he said.[36][37] Creative writing On 6 November 2003, Iain Duncan Smith released his novel The Devil's Tune. The book received heavily critical reviews such as, "Really, it's terrible ... Terrible, terrible, terrible.", by Sam Leith in the Daily Telegraph. The book was never published in paperback. Personal life Family He married Elizabeth "Betsy" Fremantle, daughter of the 5th Baron Cottesloe, in 1982. The couple have four children.[38] Wealth His wealth is estimated at £1 million much of which has been earned by working as a high end after dinner speaker.[39] Football Duncan Smith has been reported to support both Tottenham Hotspur[40] where he holds a season ticket[41] and Aston Villa.[42] Gareth Southgate cited Duncan Smith when he remarked afterEngland's 2002 World Cup quarter-final defeat against Brazil that "we were expecting Winston Churchill and instead we got Iain Duncan Smith."[43] This comparison was seen as being a scathing criticism of the then England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson's quiet and understated approach to management.

Street crossing
Anytime you have to cross the street, don't think twice, just dive into the traffic jam, as my guide said, "in moroccan style"; a thrilling experience, believe me!
The Medina is a maze.
The Medina is a maze of twisting, narrow streets. Take care not to get lost. Girls, don't wander off on your own.

Morocco travel warnings:
My friend from Senegal and I just got back from a wonderful (for the most part) trip to Morocco. I am American and his experiences were far different from mine.
1.In Rabat, do NOT stay at Hotel du Central in the medina. The manager is rude, surly and a real a hole who doesnt speak, greet, say please or even thank you.
2. Also in Rabat at the medina food stalls, dont accept food that is obviously old and previously cooked. Send it back and ask for fresh food.
3. Beware of taxi drivers even when they use the meter, they will take you round and round.
4. In Essaouira, be careful at the beachside food stalls, they charged my friend and I a whopping 450 dirham for so so fish that we mostly fed to the cats. The fries were old and cold and they claimed they could not change them because they were cooked somewhere else. I urged my friend to leave, but he said since we had ordered it was too late. It is NEVER too late to walk away! Find out where the locals eat cheaply and go there.
5. In Fez DO NOT stay at Pensione Talaa in the medina. It is horrid and has no sink, mirror, toilet or shower inside the room. Additionally, it is grimy looking. I only accepted it because it was raining.
6. Stay at Hotel Bab el Jeloud right outside the medina gate, it is much nicer.
7. Be aware that Morocaans are racist toward black skinned people unless those ppl are Americans and they assume have money. Being a fellow Muslim means nothing. They definitely discriminate against ppl from Senegal and sub sahara Africa!
8. In Fez do eat the local treats like Halwa (crushed almonds, honey, cinnamon and maybe argan and orange blossom water I am guessing). This is not available in other parts of Morocco.
Fez also has good bargains on watches as does Rabat. Decent ones can be had for 30 dirham.
9. In Marakesh do not stay at Hotel Amira et Vacances in the medina, they are racist toward black skinned Africans from Africa even those who have money.
10.If you look Moroccan as I do, be careful at the airport when changing money. You may be refused. I had to find another teller on a different floor because this Moroccan female witch told me I needed my original receipt. She lied and I called her on it.
11. Moroccan vendors are liars and crooks, esp in Marakesh.
12. At the food stalls in Marakesh's medina, beware of the "accounting" practices at stall number 1. They will try to cheat you. We ordered tangia and were charged prices for mechou.We refused to pay and they changed the bill.
13. The DVDs in Marakesh will play in America and I found them to be excellent quality. I paid 10 dirham per movie and wish I had bought more! Skyfall and Argo for 2 bucks total USD, can u imagine?
14. Check your bill at the food stalls and keep track of what u order. They will pad the bill! If a Morocan can cheat you out of as little as 5 dirham, its a good day for them. Sad but true.
15. Take the bus, its only 3.5 dirham. Go to the large supermarket Marjan.
16. When walking be careful of horses, motor scooters, donkeys, trucks, cars et cetera.
17. When crossing the street, be vigilant at roundabouts. Cross with a local. It is extremely dangerous. Someone in this forum said to just go with the flow. Dont take that advice. Be careful!
18. Smile, say hello to the ppl and have fun in the souks. Morocco is very safe, just remain safey conscious.
It'll be really good to swap stories about your experience in Morocco and ours in Spain.
At the moment we are still undecided. I am not too keen on Marrakech myself but I am willing to consider it for my husband.
I am going to Morocco in 2 weeks so it'll be great to meet up, see the propery and have a chat over tea.
Very nice talking to you as well.
sounds good let's keep in touch be ready for hot weather
Thank you for all the advises. Just to add to the above. Taxis would be happy to rip you off whenever they have a chance. Even Moroccans who live abroad aren't safe from them. They love the fact that you don't much about the local prices. A taxi should cost no more than 40 Dirhams from the airport to train station how they would ask you to pay 100 Dirhams at least. if you refuse they would drop the price to 70 Dirhams.
I am a Moroccan origins and haven't been in the country for couple of years. My brother told me not to take the taxi from the airport as they would want to charge more than 100 Dirhams whch is more expensive than a taxi from Glasgow to Glasgow airport although the distance is much shorter. if you walk just out of the airport parking area you would be asked half of the price.
On my way out they asked me 100 Dirhams to the train station from the airport, when I refused they dropped it to 70 Dirhams which I refused to. Once I walked out of the airport parking area a taxi offered to take me with 30 Dirhams after a long haggle which I though it's a bargain. When I got home my brother told he usually pays only 10 Dirhams..!!!

Intricate detail, gives the ring a little something extra. Compliments the main diamond without having to purchase more jewels. Design on the ring is not too distracting.from the diamonds. Design is very feminine and delicate.
Ryan, BUNNLEVEL, NC – February 2015
It's absolutely stunning. There's a particular reason I chose this ring for my fiancee. First, I ordered the matching engagement ring last year so it obviously made sense to order this wedding band, Secondly, my fiancee has small hands and tiny fingers (size 3.5) so this set was a perfect match. It's difficult to find sets that look this good on such small hands. Couldn't be happier.
Jason, Washoe Valley, NV – February 2015
A perfect ring to accompany the engagement setting that we selected.

[1] A dynamical downscaling of the 6-hourly 1948–2006 NCEP/NCAR re-analyses for the subarctic region of the North Atlantic has been used to derive a climatology of polar lows by means of a tracking algorithm based on the simulated bandpass filtered MSLP-fields. This climatology is consistent with the limited observational evidence in terms of frequency and spatial distribution. The climatology exhibits strong year-to-year variability but weak decadal variability and a negligible trend. A Canonical Correlation Analysis describes the conditioning of the formation of polar lows by characteristic meridional seasonal mean flow regimes, which favor cold air outbreaks and upper air troughs.
