Who's right-wing? Not Albertans
Do you hear the far-off tinkling of broken glass? That's the sound of another Prairie myth being shattered.
The myth said Albertans love right-wing parties that deliver small governments and reduced spending on social programs. The myth added that Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose bailiwick is Calgary, was going to bring this kind of government to Ottawa and destroy Canada's social security net.
Hogwash. Last week, in yet another example of why the myth is wrong, Alberta's long-ruling Progressive Conservatives elected Alison Redford, 46, as leader. Because the PCs are in power, Redford becomes Alberta's first female premier.
Redford, a human rights lawyer and first-term MLA, is an avowed centrist and during her campaign emphasized the need for better education and a strong public health-care system. She had to speak to the PC convention fewer than 24 hours after the death of her mother.
On the contest's first ballot, the two most right-wing candidates came last: Ted Morton got 12 per cent of the vote and Rick Orman got 10 per cent.
Redford joins the other women who are already premiers -- Kathy Dunderdale of Newfoundland and Labrador and Christy Clark of British Columbia. Eva Aariak is head of Nunavut's government. That number of women is a first for Canada.
Redford's platform is decidedly centrist. She may dip into Alberta's sustainability fund -- a rainy-day kitty made up of energy income -- to pay for her $107-million promise to rescind cuts to public education. She also wants to negotiate long-term contracts with teachers and nurses.
Redford's transition team is led by her former husband, Robert Hawkes, a Calgary lawyer.
A look at the province's books also exposes the right-wing myth. Alberta is Canada's wealthiest province, but it's a big-spender. On a per-capita basis, it has Canada's largest public service and spends more than any other province on health care (closely followed by Manitoba).
Alberta created the Heritage Savings Trust in 1976, setting aside 30 per cent of all oil and gas revenues. Since 1987, the province has taken much more out of the fund than it has put in. It got 23.5 per cent of its total revenue last year from oil, gas and coal -- a total of more than $8 billion. By contrast, Norway, also resource rich, sets aside for investment 96 per cent of its resource revenue.
The fact Alberta's government has a deficit despite all the oil revenue sloshing into its coffers angers David Dodge, Canada's deficit guru. He was the federal deputy finance minister who helped Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin cut expenses and reduce Ottawa's deficit. He was governor of the Bank of Canada and a member of Alberta's Premier's Council of Economic Strategy.
After the release of the council's final report this summer, Dodge told the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce the provincial government must stop raiding the rainy-day fund and balance its budget through more taxes or service cutbacks.
It's foolhardy, he said, to "buy the groceries" with Alberta's energy income. In addition, he said, Alberta should take income from land sales, royalties and other resource-related sources and invest in economic-growth initiatives such as electrical transmission, better education for First Nations students and a new institute for applied technology like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
His ideas have been met mostly with silence, even from the new Wildrose Party, which is supposed to be full of fire-breathing right-wingers. I was in Calgary at the time of the party's annual meeting this summer. From what I could see, the party was not wild and its future wasn't particularly rosy.
Prime Minister Harper knows there is little demand in Alberta for him to get right-wing tough. For example, he wants to balance the federal budget, but if the economies of the U.S. and EU get any worse, he's willing to be flexible.
A year ago, a university professor with no political experience, Naheed Nenshi, was elected Calgary's mayor, the first Muslim to be elected a mayor in Canada. "Albertans," he says, "do not define themselves against that old, tired left-right spectrum. They are pragmatic and interested in good, competent government that improves their quality of life."
Peter Lougheed, who brought the Alberta PC party to power 40 years ago, says almost the same thing: "The PCs will win the next election if we stay in the centre."

Liquid Bar Keepers Friend or powder?
I just got my new Demeyere frying pan. Yay! When in BBB I saw they had liquid BKF which reminded me of that liquid comet with bleach for the kitchen counters. Is it ok to use that or should I keep looking for the powdered stuff?
Solarpowered - if you check in here - should my Atlantis/silvonix have what look like brush lines in it? Or rather the whole thing sort of looks like that. hard to describe.
The A-C rep who was visiting a local cooking supply store said she thought the powder did a better job on the A-C SS cookware, FWIW.
"Solarpowered - if you check in here - should my Atlantis/silvonix have what look like brush lines in it? Or rather the whole thing sort of looks like that. hard to describe."
I'm not getting into THS very often these days. :)
I checked my pans. The finish on the interiors looks lightly brushed. I think this is a good thing, because you will scratch the inside if you use metal utensils, and a brushed finish looks better than a mirror finish after you start actually using the pans. (Note: The brushed finish consists of circumferential lines, not random brush marks.)
The exteriors of my pans are somewhere between a mirror finish and brushed finish. It's definitely not a mirror finish, but it does reflect a fairly coherent image. It think "mat finish" would describe it fairly accurately. It looks very slightly brushed, with barely-perceptible circumferential markings.
I'm describing this carefully, because I saw an Atlantis pan at Sur la Table that had very heavy markings on the outside--it looked for all the world like it had been turned on a lathe, with very rough tool marks. I don't know what the deal was with that. I just got a new Atlantis Saute Pan that was newly manufactured (I know that it was new, because I had to wait (practically forever, it seemed) until they made a new batch and shipped it from Belgium) late last summer, and it was exactly as I described in the first paragraph. So I don't think they've changed the style of the finish; all my pans, spanning the last three years, have exactly the same finish.
Thanks, this sounds right. I used it last night for the first time. It heats up really fast on my old electric burners. All that agonizing - it may be more responsive I think than cheap/thin aluminim teflon fry pan. Its really heavy though. I can see that's going to be hard for me. I have to figure out what to cook in it now:)

Have I killed my plant by repotting? :(
This is my first AF plant and I'm now worried if I've done something very wrong so any help would be awesome!! ...:(
I bought it when it was in bloom and it was in a small pot (probably the right pot for its size anyway). But at the time it was before I started reading up material about caring for AVs. So a week into getting the plant I made my first mistake by repotting it in a pot that's way too big think it would look better (around 4-5" pot)... Another month or so later I started to notice fungus gnats on the soil (most likely because of over watering.. My second big mistake).. I tried drying the soil which didn't work... Also tried the hydrogen peroxide method which did nothing... At the end I was so frustrated and worried I decided repotting completely.. And since I knew the plant should've been in a smaller pot anyway I decided to plot it down to a 3" pot.
It's been around 2 weeks since I repotted and the leaves are getting droopier by the day. First it was just the outer leaves but today I noticed the plant in general is a bit droopy.. The baby leaves aren't looking too healthy either with burnt spots all over... I stopped watering from above the soil and use the water dish method to let it absorb water from below. The plant is currently blooming again...
Should I be worried? What can I do?
Thanks a tonne in advance!! :)
Hello, Tonne:
Can you post a photo? There are detailed directions using either PhotoBucket or WebShots in the African violet "Gallery."
What medium are you using? Straight AV soil? You mention burn spots; do you know what from? Are they sunburn spots?
By "watering from the bottom," do you mean setting in a saucer until the water is absorbed or wick-watering? If with a saucer, are you sure the whole plant is being watered?
The problem with drooping is it can because from overwatering *or* underwatering. Very confusing, isn't it?
Let us know the answers to the above and try to post a photo.
Hi Linda
Thanks for your reply! I've just created my PhotoBucket account and uploaded three photos; first one shows what it looked like about a month into getting the plant(as u see it looked pretty healthy), and the other two showing what it looks like now - one showing the overall droopy leaves and the other showing close up of the spots.
Photos are at this link: http://s1052.photobucket.com/albums/s450/Happy_Tomato/
I'm only using potting soil with no mix of perilite or what not that i see from most posts..i know it's probably not good for the AVs but i'm still finding it hard to get anything other than potting mix near where i live.. :(
I'm not sure what the spots are.. i place the plant by the window but it is mostly in-direct sun it's getting..
As for watering, i place the plant onto a saucer of water (no wick).. the top of soil was very dry for the first week or so right after repotting because i remembered trying to sit the plant in the saucer for half hour maybe an hour tops but the top of the soil still seems very very dry. I did the saucer trick maybe every second night for that first week (because it was SO DRY and the droopy leaves made me think maybe it's because i'm underwatering) and still the soil was super dry. Until around 3 nights ago i sat the plant in the saucer for almost 2 hours and the top of soil finally feels a bit moist. I have not watered since.
I do have a side track question - as you see in my photos, the plant is giving out completely different flowers in the second bloom (first bloom was almost white with hints of purple and many petals.. second one is full purple with 5 petals joined at the end).. why is that? is this normal? (sorry if this is a stupid question..)
Thanks again and do let me know if you need any more info! :)
Bonita -
your plant does OK, it is hugging the pot a bit, but leaves seem juicy enough. The "hugging" sometimes is a feature of the variety , sometimes it is too much light.
The spots on the leaves - either some kind of mechanical damage, cold water used for watering - or again - too much light.
You are in a beginning of your hobby - so there is so much to learn - but for the newbie you do very well.
Your soil mix is of a poor quality, your ceramic pots are attractive but probably not functional enough etc. etc. - but look at your plants - they look good and they bloom.
The color of the bloom changes depending on the conditions and usually the very first bloom is someway different from the next ones.
The way you describe you fight with dry soil - tells me that your life will be easier if you order a small amount of soil from a vendor. violetbarn.com has good soil, Cape Cod Violetry sells supplies - you can call them on the phone, violetshowcase.com sells supplies etc. And fancy pots are better to be used as cachepots, while the plants really do the best in plain plastic pots.
The main thing is - despite all things - your plants are quite healthy and blooming - so with some know-how - you are going to grow super violets. The way how you describe your efforts - tells me you feel the needs of the plant - and this separates a green thumb from a brown one. People who think more about how plants match their wallpaper -
usually have brown ones.
Good Luck
Irina is correct about everything.
My question is, do the leaves feel soft and floppy? If they are, that would be over/under watering. If they're firm, then it's likely too much light, as Irina says.
Your pots are *much* too tall; AVs have shallow roots, so you want to either find a shallower pot, or put in a thick layer of perlite or charcoal in the bottom of the pot and water from the top with tepid water.
Until you can get a good soil mix, you can make do with what you have if you're extra careful about watering. Let it get fairly dry, but not completely dry, then water thoroughly, making sure to drain it well; set it on a baking rack or something.
Good luck, and remember, everyone kills a few plants; it's part of the learning curve.
Korina, experienced plant murderer
Thanks guys for the responses! I got quite a few good tips out of it!
The leaves are soft, and they've gotten only worse since my last post.. at first only those on the side are soft and now every leave are turning soft.. those on the side are dying and turning black from the stem spreading to the leaves and i ended up having to remove a dead leave maybe once every second day or so... Is this some sort of rotting telling me the plant is literally dying?
I felt the soil and it's still relatively dry.. i watered it again (after a week) today and let it sit in a saucer for maybe 1-2 hours (though the top of the soil still feels dry.. so it's possibly true that Korina said my pot is way too tall.. :(.... )
Is it worth taking the risk to re-pot (yet again) to those small standard plastic pots? It looks way too fragile (and honesty dying) for me to do that to it again.. :(
I would like to save its life if possible but i'm not sure what else i can do now..
Thanks so much again.

Yes, my first post on homebrewtalk is about the fermentation chamber I have been building
I have all of 2 brews under my belt, but I dont have a place with stable temperature and I love gadgets so hence this build. Also been wanting to use an Arduino for something, and this seemed perfect.
As an overview, I enclosed a stainless steel cart from Ikea with insulation and installed a peltier module. There are several reasons I went with this method.
1) Needs to be portable. My house is very small and the fermentation chamber normally lives in the spare bedroom, but needs to be able to be moved elsewhere if that room is needed.
2) Needs to be small. Kinda goes along with the above, but also necessitates the peltier module as there is not enough room for a compressor and associated plumbing.
3) Needs to be able to easily switch from heating to cooling. The climate here generally stays pretty close to fermentation temps, so there are times of the year when it will need to cool during the day and heat during the night. The peltier setup makes this easy.
4) Needs to be able to be monitored and controlled remotely. Because I can, mostly
Parts used, mostly sourced off ebay:
Ikea Flytta stainless steel cart.
1.5" styrofoam for insulation, with plywood walls.
Arduino mega with ethernet shield.
400 watt peltier module.
12v @ 36 amp switching power supply.
box of misc large heatsinks.
25 amp h-bridge controller.
DS18B20 OneWire digital temperature sensors.
Ikea Dioder LED strips (hey, it needs light inside, right?).
The physical built is complete, however I am having problems cooling the hot side heatsink with the weak fans I have, so I have some much stronger ones on order. If that still doesnt work, I will water cool the external side. And until I can get that under control, I can't start experimenting with PID control.
I have plenty more pictures, but this should get it started
Curious: Why use an Arduino Mega and not a regular arduino? Just what you had on hand?
Really neat, though. I used a fridge with some bad control parts for my arduino-controlled fermentation chamber/kegerator, which was a lot simpler to implement.
I wanted to get a mega just to play with mostly. It will probably get swapped out with one of the smaller ones eventually.
Very cool. What kind of H-Bridge controller are you using? I've been meaning to do something like this for a while, but every time I go onto digikey to pick out mosfets my eyes kind of glaze over.
(I've got one of the old NuCool fridges, but I've been thinking of bypassing the controller to do both heat and cool in terms like this.)
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
I think you will need something that looks more like the blower on a forced air furnace and some ducting to get the heat off of your heat sink.
malfet, I got the h-bridge off ebay, but its the simple-h from robotpower.com
Well the new (extremely loud) fan has the heatsink temperature under control, but I am not terribly happy with the maximum temperature differential i am getting.
I'm having a hard time reading the numbers on the image you uploaded. What kind of temperature differential are you getting?
hmm, i am rather unimpressed with the photo gallery here, it resizes stuff down to useless levels and wont show the original image...
the yellow line (interior temperature) is just touching the 60F line on the right.
green (exterior ambient temp) is about 73F.
red (hot side heatsink temp) is about 78F.
it made it down to 58 or so after awhile at full power, and running it at 50% power it is holding 63F.
temp rises back up pretty quickly when turning the power off so I am wondering if there isnt enough insulation. I would think that 1.5" of styrofoam would be plenty (I dont recall the exact R value).
this may turn out to be an expensive exercise in futility...

An excellent Christmas experience.
My husband, 19-year-old daughter and I spent 4 nights, including Christmas Eve, at the Gamekeeper's Cottage at Williamstadt House. Carole and Kevin went above and beyond anything we expected. Carole provided excellent directions to get us there from Galway and recommended the perfect place for lunch (The Hungry Bookworm in Loughrea) and the best places for buying food and anything else we needed for our stay. They also cut a Christmas tree from their woods and had it decorated and lit when we arrived along with a warm and welcoming fire. We enjoyed coffee and tea in the kitchen of Williamstadt House several times along with wonderful discussions about life in Ireland and adventures we've all had in other places. The pups (Sally, Maggie, and Walter) adopted us--especially Walter who spent all 4 nights with us in the Cottage. We went on walks with Carole and Kevin to see Lough Derg and the woods, visited the pub in town and met many of their friends and neighbors. We had a flat tire before our arrival and Kevin made sure we were able to get a replacement spare even though it was Christmas time. We had thought we would cook a small Christmas dinner for just the three of us. Carol and Kevin invited us to join them and their friends for dinner and we added our small meal to their delicious dinner. We ate an excellent Christmas dinner in Williamstadt House in front of a wonderful fire, drank excellent apple juice made from apples grown on their property and enjoyed great conversation with wonderful people. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. She loved stoking the fire (peat and wood) and would lie on the couch in front of the fire with Walter, the visiting pup, each night until the fire died down. We all agreed that our visit was perfect. The Cottage is comfortable, the stars are incredible and the quietness is amazing. The area is beautiful and the Cottage and Williamstadt House are amazing. Carole and Kevin are wonderful hosts and I feel like we became friends while we were there. We plan to return in the future. The only complaint I have is that we didn't plan to stay longer this time. Four nights wasn't long enough. We give this experience the highest marks and count ourselves lucky that we found the Gamekeeper's Cottage and Carole and Kevin.
The Real Ireland
I can't say enough about Carole and Kevin's generosity and constant efforts to give us a warm, truly authentic experience in Ireland. They both went out of their way to arrange activities and provide suggestions on how to experience the beautiful area that that they clearly love. The grand old house is very special and gave us all the feeling that we actually lived there, whether sitting at the plank table in the country kitchen or lounging in the sitting room with family portraits and a turf fire flickering, or snuggled into the plush beds upstairs reading one of the scores of beautiful books scattered throughout the house. This seemed to be the real Ireland, a true experience of living in a house with a rich, interesting history. We were a party of couples and friends, and the house provided sufficient privacy as well as opportunity for group activities and interaction. Thanks, Carole and Kevin, for a lovely 8 days!

PollyGMarch 19, 2013
My sink has a crack. I have been looking for a replacement. It is a glass sink sitting in a metal ring mounting bracket. It also has an overflow hole at the side. The problem is I cannot find any glass sink that has an overflow at the side. If you come across the sink during your sink search, would you please let me know? I've searching online for hours with no results. Thanks.

I'm going to sit here and speculate on why. First of all, I taught myself C at 11 years old, and I'm 25 now. In the past 14 years, I've obtained a pretty good idea of what programming is, and of course spent plenty of time messing around with and administrating my own systems. I'm sure this isn't an unusual story to hear on slashdot, I'm sure many of you made a similar journey. But here's the problem, after talking with friends who had taught themselves how to program and do it well, and had gone through schooling for that subject, I realized there weren't heaps of new things to learn. Almost all of the schooling would be rehashing things I already knew.
So where am I going with that? Programming is a relatively easy subject to pick up on your own. You can just start messing around and get immediate results. You don't need a huge buildup of theory before you can start applying the stuff, either. If I can start coding in C at 11, it isn't that hard. And I'm definitely not one of those people who had a PhD by the time he was 14 either. So this doesn't really surprise me at all, the degree has very little practical value to someone who is already confident in their abilities with these kinds of things.
It was actually because of this that I chose my major to be Electronic Engineering instead(still working on it). The material is more challenging to me, and most of it isn't stuff that I've done already. It's not as easy to learn on my own (though it could be done. I even made a list of textbooks used in the 4-year school I want to attend in case I decided I wanted to go that route). I'm not sure how everyone else here feels about it, but I think programming is easy shit. Using computers is relatively easy shit. Just because you don't have to spend as much time making that foundation, I think it's a lot easier to get away without getting a degree in it. Maybe this is due entirely to the fact that it's easier to self-teach, rather than it being an easy subject in and of itself. I know many of you wouldn't agree with the latter statement. Once you know it, why have someone try to reteach you?

Well to be fair, I wasn't comparing Debian to RH. Though, when I last used RedHat, that was back when 9.0 came out (either 8 or 9 was my first distro back in the day when it at least seemed "cool" for the desktop), I would say that I much prefer Debian's package management.
But you raise a fair point, I had forgotten about the fact that RH has that whole enterprise loonicks thing going on. After looking up what "FAI" is, I can see how having something like that working would be pretty dandy, and practically essential for hundreds if not thousands of servers in a datacenter. Package management I suppose will play less of a role if you aren't constantly changing things like I might do on my personal desktop, but like I said, I've never run a high volume server.
Rather, the intent of my post was to say "Why the hell can't they ditch this shit for free stuff? Either way it's going to cost them money, but maybe open-source(which is usually free-as-in-beer) software could help mitigate that in the future."

Linux? Debian, maybe? Though I'm not sure what the preferred 'server' distro would be... Or maybe unix, perhaps FreeBSD? I know that's wildly popular as a server OS, but I think Debian is much easier to use than any unix variant I've yet tried. There's plenty to choose from. I guess the question would be how the costs to change over compare to the costs to just keep Windows Server.
Forgive me, as I've never run a high volume server before. Just small ones that I've not used far beyond basic personal stuff.

Well, it's true that I don't play a lot of games these days. I spend a lot more time pursuing my goals in life, so I don't have hours and hours to just sit down and immerse myself in all sorts of high end games. I tend to stick to a few that I like and play them from time to time, and DX 11.2 isn't required by any of them, or even the new title(s) that I'm interested in which are still WIP.
Other than that, I spend the vast majority of my time on Linux with KDE 4. Even moreso with Minecraft working on multiple platforms due to Java. The only new title I'm currently interested in is Planetary Annihilation, which if I recall correctly, will support a Linux port. So I guess my care-o-meter about this announcement is somewhere around zero.
I will say this, though. The user interface style that was developed, with a task bar and normal start-menu (not this metro start screen crap) was developed and refined over a period of 20+ years or so now. It's available across many operating systems and kernels. It's there because it works rather well. If you ask me, this touch-centric crap that Microsoft is pushing isn't much good beyond tablets and phones, where your primary mode of interface is your finger on a screen.
So, tablets and phones came along and a new interface style was designed that worked better with almost-exclusively touch-screen interface devices... Then Microsoft decided that *everything* should use this interface. I'm not interested in relearning how to use my Desktop's or Laptop's interfaces. Screw Windows 8. If I found a part of my computer's user interface to be highly inefficient, requiring a redesign to solve the problem, I'd be very aware of it. I hate wasting time. But the stuff before Metro in most cases doesn't give me that impression. Metro does.
So there's my possibly subjective rant. But hey, the article asked.

I use the Nature's Way Sublingual Melatonin in the 2.5mg potency. You can order it on Amazon, if you prefer. They also come in other forms where you just swallow them, but then you tend to have to take them a few hours before you go to bed, whereas you can take the lozenge closer or at the time you intend to go to sleep.
Disclaimer: I'm no doctor of course, but I'm told it's perfectly safe. I actually know of 3 people other than myself that use it without issues. I've also heard that if you take much more than 2 mg it can lessen the effect, but I've had no issues with the 2.5 mg lozenges.
Interesting tidbit: I just did the math. I used to sleep for 9.5-10 hours, and then was awake for 16. That would make my sleep cycle around 25.5-26 hours.

I actually have a circadian rhythm disorder myself. Between 2005 and 2010 my sleep 'schedule' would go around the clock fully over a period of every 1-2 weeks. So, part of the time I was up during only the night, sometimes in between, sometimes during normal parts of the day. I have a greater than 24-hour sleep cycle naturally it would seem. However, I've been maintaining a pretty normal schedule for 1.5 years now. I started using sublingual 2.5mg melatonin lozenges after my sister told me about them. It totally did the trick in my case.
Of course, more relevant to the article, there are lamps you can also buy for bright light therapy. I actually just got myself one about 11 days ago. It can take up to a few weeks to have an effect, and I think I've finally started to feel a measurable effect over the past 3 days, but I'll see how it goes before I make a final determination. According to what I've read, it can help with circadian rhythm disorders, but I personally bought it for the antidepressant effect. Perhaps I'll be able to switch over to using only the light, which would be pretty neat. But I wouldn't complain if I still had to use melatonin.

1. When you go get your license plates. Register all of your guns. The registration fee, will be based upon the current value, or the person in the licence bureau, thinks it is worth, not the individual. Let say your gun has a $1000.00 value. The registration fee will be $50.00. You own 3 guns,$150.00, so on so forth. If the owner has a clip holding more than 10 cartridges, there will be an addition $50.00 fee. Failure to comply, you lose your car or truck plate for 1 year. So it will be very easy to comply for everyone. This proposed new law will make it very easy for everyone.
2. A clause to the proposed law, a requirement, will be issued to every car, truck owner. A receipt showing how much ammunition in your possession, will be taxed, according to value at todays market value.
3. No one shall have in their possession, no more than 100 rounds. Anything over that will be deemed a fire and explosion hazard to the community in which you reside.

Longest Blooming Ceanothus
I want to plant a ceanothus that I can train into a tree. As much as I love ceanothus, I don't love their short blooming time! I know there are a lot of different varieties out there. I added Dark Star and Ray Hartman to my garden last year and they are looking so good I want more. Does anyone have experience with different varieties who could tell me which ones bloom the longest and the latest?
Ray Hartman is the longest blooming for me, blooming longer left than Julia Phelps and Dark Star. And ofcourse, the most tree-like.
Mine only blooms a tiny bit in fall, but I have seen some around town that bloom sporadically in fall, maybe they get a lot of water?
I too love ceanthus and got a little over eager and put in way too many of them. I ended up removing Tuxedo and Frosty Blue, only to make room for other plants. Frosty Blue got tree like very fast, and bloomed heavily, but I don't remember if it was noticeably longer blooming than the others.I also grew it at my previous house and was very pleased with it.
I would recommend a variety of other plants, maybe some toyon and manzanitas which could complement the ceanothus so it isn't too monocromatic. And ceanothus do seem so boring at the end of summer and in fall, that is when I succumbed and pulled some out.
There are a couple of Ceanothus species and hybrids that are deciduous and summer blooming, but all the west coast evergreen species are relatively short bloom periods. Ray Hartman is probably the best for a tree sized specimen. Joyce Coulter and Julia Phelps are two of my personal favorites. Best species or cultivars for your specific area will depend on how hot you get in summer. If you have the room, Fremontodendron 'California Glory' is a fantastic complement to any Ceanothus, along with Mimulus aurantiacus and Salvia clevelandii and Salvia leucophylla or Artemesia californica.

Barbara Boxer: Take Money From Border Security To Fund Immigrant Healthcare
The Rubio/McCain amnesty plan is all pain for America and no gain. It gives amnesty to illegal aliens, actually makes the security situation worse, hands American jobs to foreigners, will cost trillions of dollars and will end up doing little other than importing poverty into America in an effort to shore up the voter roles for the Democrats.
Now Barbara Boxer wants to make the bill EVEN WORSE.
Sen. Barbara Boxer plans to push for Washington to provide $250 million and perhaps more to help local and state governments pay the cost of healthcare to uninsured immigrants who seek legal status under legislation now before the Senate.
Officials from Los Angeles County–home to an estimated 1.1 million people in the country illegally, one-tenth of the nation's total–have expressed concern that local taxpayers will be "left holding the bag" to pay for the healthcare costs.
….Her proposal calls for providing the money without increasing the federal budget deficit by using some of the money paid by applicants for legalization, much of which is now earmarked to further secure the border.
Boxer said that she also would seek to amend the bill to shorten by five years the amount of time applicants for legalization would become eligible for the federal "safety net programs supported by their tax dollars."
Currently, many applicants would be forced to wait 15 years or more before gaining access to programs such as Medicaid. Under her amendment, the longest an applicant would wait is 10 years.
If this bill passes, there's not a chance in hell illegals will have to wait a decade to become citizens and start soaking up government benefits. This bill is all about amnesty at any cost and security never and the only thing Barbara Boxer is doing is giving us a preview of what we're going to hear over and over if it's passed. It's Obamacare applied to immigration and it's absolutely shameful that there are Republicans who would even consider voting for a bill this bad for America.

Removing Citrus Trees
After working hard at getting my "orchard" going it looks like I'll be moving! I'd like to take some of my smaller trees with me when we move (probably after the 1st of the year). These trees are citrus and figs, but I'll ask about the figs in the correct forum:
Kishu Mandarin (in the ground about a year)
Moro Blood Orange (in the ground a couple of years)
Persian Lime (in ground about 3 years, but has not really thrived at all)
My question is, is it possible to remove the trees to my new home and how much damage will I create by removing them? None is more than 4' high and around a 3' canopy.
Well, you're picking one of the best times - fall going into winter. And, there will certainly be transplant shock no doubt, that will be unavoidable. They are pretty large trees, believe it or not, so try to get the largest root ball you possibly can. Wrap in wet burlap, try NOT to pick up the tree by the trunk (this can damage feeder roots), but pick up the tree by the bottom of the rootball. Re-plant as quickly as possible, water in well, and after about a week, water, then fertilize with 1/2 strength fruit tree fertilizer (low N) to help stimulate root growth. Figs should be dormant when you try to remove them and replant them.

Dig the root ball at or slightly beyond the dripline of the canopy and about 2 feet deep. Ground to ground the same day, they should survive with minimal damage. Plant them at the same depth or slightly higher; and If it were me, I would give them a shot of B-1 along with the watering in; it is sort of an insurance policy and encourages root growth; it is available at most nursery and garden stores.
Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how it will work for me because I'd like to get the trees out before I list my house. Otherwise, the trees will be expected to go with it, but the advice only considers digging them up and replanting that same day, which isn't feasible. Would it work if I dug them up and put them in pots?
You can try that, see if you can find the large 1/2 wine or whisky barrels, since they're wide and not so deep. Two re-plantings, though, so expect some transplant shock. Vitamin B-1 has been dispelled as a root stimulator. Don't waste your time or money.
Better off with a low-nitrogen fertilizer (something for blooming plants, higher in P & K) at 1/2 strength, once planted back in the ground, and adequate water.

Co Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Sports Authority.
Talked with an SM at a location. He asked what position I was interested in. He asked why I wanted to work for the company, if I was currently working and why I left my last position. He then asked if I had questions. I asked alot of questions about the responsiblities of the position and related it to my background to give assurance. He then said that if they were interested that I would get a call in a month and that they were just seeing what was out there. He was professional.Two days later, I received a call from another MGR and went to a second interview. The SM spoke on and on about her personal life ( past injuries and family medical issues) for about an hour. I felt like a counselor. I then come to find out that she was interviewing for hourly team lead positions where I would need to relocate since the new store was extremely far away from where I live. I drove 49 miles one way for this interview where I thought I was interviewing for a salary position.She asked me: would I socialize outside of work with coworkers, about why I left a job where I had worked 10 years ago, and about what the 1st screener spoke about. Most of my time was listening to her rattle off her to do list for the new store that she was taking over and personal issues that were inappropriate for an interview.She came across as extremely anxious, overwhelmed with her work and apologized for having OCD.
- Would I socialize with coworkers outside of work? She mentioned that people at her store play some sports together but they don't invite everyone???? Answer Question

Co Manager InterviewApplication Details
I applied in-person. The process took 6+ months – interviewed at Sports Authority.Interview Details
Interview process was terrible. This should have been a tip off of the horrible company culture. Went to two initial interviews, over a period of six weeks in which my phone calls were very rarely returned. It seemed as though they could not seem to make a timely decision on how to proceed, but kept stringing me along. Finally they told me I was definitely hired, then all of a sudden out of nowhere told me that the position had been filled.
They kept telling me however that I was perfect for the company and should be patient. Eventually they did contact me again and after another two months and three additional interviews, again with few phone calls returned, I was finally hired.Interview Questions

Co-Manager InterviewApplication Details
The process took a day – interviewed at Sports Authority in August 2010.Interview Details
Came to a conference room with District Managers, Regional Managers and HR Managers. Given a packet of information about a "fictional store' and asked questions about what you would do as the store manager to turn things around, what things stand out to you, etc.
Way too much emphasis put on non-important factors. i.e. Work history, education history, etc. (I'm already employed with the company, this was a "promotion evaluation".
To be honest, I can do everything that the DM's RM's, heck, even everything David Campisi does. But I would do it better, make the company more succuessful and actually have employees who like to work for TSA.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- What would you do to turn this store around? View Answer
I have come to realize that without a BA degree and without knowing someone to give me a "leg up", I'm never gonna get out of working at the store level. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna spend 10-20 years working for TSA to top out at a Store Manger or even at the DM level. The people at the store level are the ones who bust their butts making sales and dealing with customers. People at Corporate don't have to work on Sundays and don't have to work till 10, 11, or 12pm and have no life.Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview

The examiner in effect considers whether he would find it frustrating following somebody so slow. Obviously though, there is a problem if a sign is missing - perhaps another argument for having a camera on board so you can appeal the verdict. BTW, on the examiner's own test to get the job, you need to drive as fast as is safely and legally possible. So, on the motorway 65= Fail, 75= Fail, unless the tester agrees the conditions require it.
IF the US company (GM, Ford) uses a local subsidiary, that company is bound by EU law. The US can order the US owner to deliver, but the local staff and board will have a legal duty to refuse.The end ...
This is what comes of letting a gang of politicians hide in a smoke filled room. About time these meetings were in public and minuted so we can all see who got a brown envelope.
only a probe? - they may pose all sorts of threats. Obviously there should be lavish funding to hack their networks and monitor potential terrorists seeking to operate from Antartica.
What did you expect?
A strangeness scale. Excellent idea, but we dedicated Reg. readers need to know what the official Reg. celestial strangeness unit is going to be. The "weirdo" doesn't seem entirely suitable...
I understand the rail companies have internal uses for high speed data between train and track - maintenance of both, tighter control of trains to save fuel, achieve capacity increases etc.etc. The current gsm-r is to be replaced and a new much faster system is to be installed along all tracks. Some genius has worked out (and got it on the agenda) it should be used for passenger wifi. As ever, there are international standards to be ratified, kit to be tested and so on so it will take a while.
Same as the US could save loads of money by using Glasnost. Remember, the US has been known to put pressure on other nations in various ways including denying use (or the threatening to deny use) of GPS.
Is that the British government, the chief advocate of an EU run by quango and smoke filled room (the Council of Ministers) has achieved its goal. Other denizens of the smoke filled room and quango have been known to point out the absurdity of the situation - news carefully suppressed in the UK in favour of rants about "remote and unaccountable Brussels" by the architects of said absurdity.
Confessions are unusable in court in many countries. I am no great fan of the legal profession, but fair dos, some of them got here centuries ago and drew the right conclusion.
I believe any creditor of a plc can, after 28 days, have the company declared bankrupt. I know a guy did it to Rolls Royce in the 70s. The magistrates gave RR a 24 hour stay on condition the MD appeared in person first thing the next morning to grovel (and pay - cash).
There are no aliens - the limited size of the dome over the earth precludes their existence. The unexplained sightings were either dragons or the KGB.
A fair few, of course - it's bound to happen (I was the guy who handed them out). The replacement cost is annoying, but peanuts in the great scheme of things. As somebody pointed out, the issue is what data is on them. Hopefully none
Hmm - a bum on a seat costs a six figure number p.a. nowadays, so - provided the users are achieving anything useful at all (I too have doubts) - the ithingy only needs to add 1% or less to their output to pay for itself. Perhaps the most pertinent question is how many data collators, support staff and other lesser minions have ithings (and sensible uses for them)?
Any country banning any technology (for any reason but typically national security) runs the risk of losing out. If the West chooses to ban good ideas from China or Russia, we may hurt ourselves more than them - and fall behind.
So presumably anybody on the affected network has their phone battery flattened as the thing shouts away at the top of its voice? That could add up to a lot of inconvenience before we consider the legal aspects ...
If you have access to enough camera feeds, police logs etc., surely you can do everything he claims - E & O E, as someone has pointed out? As Freedom of Information brings various benefits, it also brings this rather dubious one. Short of passing a law (unenforceable) against data mining - ha! ha! - I suspect we have to learn to live with it.
Freedom of information = Death of Privacy - discuss! I feel a Reith Lecture coming on.
This obviously raises plenty of questions, but then it won't happens for years yet and stopping drunks, bank robbers or little old ladies driving the wrong way down the motorway does have attractions. I don't think the technical problems are insurmountable - and with driverless cars coming, it may work out at telling the car to park at the next lay-by so Mr. Plod can have a word.
On the legal side - the main reason Brussels is undemocratic is because the UK government has tirelessly lobbied for exactly that. The EU is run from a smoke filled room (the Council of Ministers) with no minutes, public scrutiny etc. And guess who has always insisted on that?
Dave obviously wasn't in my local. Power corrupts, and anyone handed the power these people are being given will be corrupted. Once they are corrupted, we'll all be wondering if we weren't better off with Al Quaeda ...
I'm not American, but - IF the facts are roughly right - I would be worried about (i) how private corporations are getting to spend my tax dollars and (ii) the stupidity and arrogance of the agents. In my travels, including behind the Iron Curtain (and no, I wasn't a fan) about the rudest officials I ever met were in the US. Not all ,but some
One is always wary of more regulation, but - since the average punter can't help themselves much on this - maybe ISPs should have a legal obligation to ensure their kit is secure. At the risk of annoying UKIP, this might be a job for Steely Neelly.
Oh - and the shotgun video was a brave move. I don't suppose NSA will get stressed, but will GCHQ report him to about 96 different agencies?
Indeed - what's he for and what are any of them for? Can the spooks tell us costs per life saved, losses to criminals prevented and whether we are getting value for money? One suspects traffic cops, kidney machines etc. might be much better value.
It takes a month to get an account set up on the official tool. It doesn't work anyway. Meanwhile the customers are screaming.
You phone IT - their head is the CFO, who only knows what his teenage son has managed to teach him and is only interested in not spending money; they have no budget, are short staffed, haven't anywhere to backup enterprise critical stuff regularly and are trying to cannibalise one ancient server to keep an old one going etc. They will pass your complaint on, but don't hold your breathe.
I have encountered all these, singly or sometimes stirred together in a lovely cocktail of chaos. Lazy IT, or - just maybe - the organisation is taking the customary 40 years (waiting for a generation to retire) that they have needed since the dawn of time to use a new technology sensibly.
It's a politican who noted "power corrupts". Given the almost absolute freedom and power given the NSA the noble lord predicted they will soon end up absolutely corrupted - however nice they were to start with.
Well - common sense says it pays for itself - less prisoners coming straight back in on release. And less citizens being mugged or burgled (assuming the Home Office cares - one wonders).
The per minute rate for prisoners phoning home legally is extortionate - especally when you're earning a tenner a week (if I recall correctly 50p + a minute and a lot more if home is overseas). So many of the mobile calls probably are to home and family.
Obviously prisoners' calls need to be controlled, but the present stupid phone policy (family breakdown is a major factor in reoffending and many prisoners are illiterate, so forgot letters) needs rethinking. Make calls home cheap\free and then you know any mobile call detected is for nefarious reasons and needs investigating.
And a femtocell or a tower should be pretty easy in those prisons (a fair few) which are out in the sticks. But I suspect the civil service has been quoted £100m by Capita to do this ...
I used to work in a prison btw.
I doubt UAE can win. Any bird they buy will have US, Russian, Chinese, whoever's chips in it. And design/build your own using only your own relatives in their spare time (who else can one trust?) is a slightly ambitious project.
I imagine Intel will now work a lot harder at cutting power requirements - Google probably think a million or two spent on that well worth it. If, as a bonus, their research suggests they can have custom chips which give them a hardware headstart over rivals, then that puts them in an even more desirable place. A place, which, of course, they don't want anybody else reaching first.
The cost of blue sky thinking for a year or two probably barely registers on their financial radar at present; the interesting (and expensive) decisions will come - but later.
And bits of network Rail rely on Victorian cast iron. One bright young man has even proposed computerised signalling, but with the safety interlocking handled by said Victorian iron - cheaper and maybe safer than trying to do it in software.
Strange that the fag firms, with their touching concern for the taxpayer's pocket, don't offer some solution - perhaps the "plain packets" could contain a rifd or security strip like a bank note? And of course a new levy on their profits linked to the increased shortfall might stimulate their ingenuity.
And the debate appears to lack rigour - cubic buses as per the Pimms standard or square buses as in Singapores (which I understand is almost flat - ignoring sky scrapers, of course)
We Brits should remember the European Commission is unelected at the insistence - primarily - of the UK government. The same people who have succeeded in getting Europe run from a smoke filled room. Any Tory politico mouthing about the democratic deficit in Brussels is ranting about something he worked very hard for ...
It's hard to avoid the suspicion the US wants to hang on to ICANN for military or spying purposes, and that some of the arguments appealing to Middle America's UNophobia are just a smoke screen for that. Nor can i see technical standrads balkanising - If upper Bongo adopts IP5, who is going to produce the kit?
On the other hand, can we be sure that the ITU/UN Son of Icann will be properly set up? Tricky ...
re HS2: longer, more frequent or double deck trains are all difficult on the existing line. Adapting it for any of the above will be hugely expensive and disruptive. So building a new line may be the easiest and cheapest option.
As to the 50 billion ouch, one might suggest adopting the French approach - pay compulsory purchase victims double what their property is worth and offer their local council/MP a few million to shut up. Exeunt nimbies stage left, build railway in three years for 20 billion.
Absolutely correct. I know a failed asylum seeker who phoned the number on those vans they put out in London asking for his passport so he could go home. Answer "We don't have a department for that". Drop this whole massively expensive farce and join Schengen.
I wouldn't be worried except the UK will be probably be the only one to block it (UK = Ukipia BTW). I take the point about a few people paying for what they don't use, but it still beats far more being ripped off - by the country mile - every time they go on a trip.
If COSH offers the chance to choose your own height then you maybe have an airship that can cruise at 30,000 ft like a modern jet. Then you're above the weather and drag will be a fraction of what the Zeppelins experienced down at 3000 ft or less - so with good aerodynamics 250 kt cruising? And I guess loitering up there for a few days is no problem
Some of the technology already exists. German diesels from WW2 gave full power at 40000ft and had fuel comsumption still impressive today. And all this talk about tyres bursting - 19th century train brakes operated at 5 bar, truck tyres come in around 8 bar and don't even ask about aircraft hydraulics.
These are quick and simple to use - except in the UK, where the huge, complicated contraption seems virtually incapable of reading UK passports (at leat not mine, nor a lot of other peoples' to judge from my recent experience at Luton). Interestingly, though, it had no problem with my wife's Dutch passport.
What does the UK charge him with? These files were not taken from any UK system, or within the UK, may not even be UK material, so I'm not sure how they can prosecute. They can try some vague thing about making terrorism easier but a jury (not abolished yet despite the obvious danger to NATIONAL SECURITY) might have the cheek to boot the case out the courtroom window. Which might be why they didn't arrest him after their nine hours of intimidation. After all the defence can claim, that since the alledgedly dangerous material was never a state secret, the prosecution can't refuse to disclose it
You are forgetting the need to vet all sotware and subject the developers to intrusive body searches. The whole process only takes twenty years (the contractors are paid by the hour and are in no hurry). And then some bureaucrat has to sign it off (and he's only interested in covering his backside, not in getting results, which means he won't). Explains why the FBI was till recently (still is?) on MSDOS
My dear chap - it's perfectly adequate for a mass shooting. Carrying three of them, one can potentially kill 42 people and maybe even set a new record (as the NRA hope, so they can lobby for cars to be fitted with aircraft cannon as standard).
it's worth remembering that back in the 80s Mr. Sadam H was our noble ally fighting the evil Iranians (the lot who dared complain when we blew one of their airliners out of the sky). Maybe we, the West supplied him with nasty weapons at that time, and somebody realised the WMD propanganda thing might turn into a blue on blue incident if we found them. But then maybe not? Who knows? I could start on those other wonderful ex allies - the Taliban.
Steely Neely has done more for my mobile bill when travelling than any British politico or civil servant. She may be unelected but either she or the MEPs are doing a good job. Incidentally if she is unelected, read some history and you find the Brussels democratic deficit is a cause most dear to Whitehall's heart (proposed, seconded, vetoed for).
Stupid - no, just a fact. As to distracting - maybe not if it reminds Americans the Feds also breach the planet's privacy (yes, i know other governments, including mine, are just as bad) and claim the right to kidnap, torture or incarcerate without trial 95% of humanity - which, just maybe, they have a moral duty to stop by exercising their democra\tic rights.
Top of my list for when i become dictator - it does have a few legitimate uses but it sits at the heart of not a few hopeless muddles. Perhaps the banks should be required to seek regulatory approval for any and every spreadsheet?
On thestate of the UK grid - a decade of craven surrender to Nimbies and Luddites has left us staring disaster in the face. i suggest ordering a billion petrol generators from China and stacking them round parliament to keep things going - costs to be deducted from MP's pay until they sort things.
I guess more poor per acre near the Equator (several billion compared with a few million punters in remote areas of Russia and USA - or none in the Southern Ocean). And I suppose - not an engineer - an inclined orbit may make the base stations a bit more complex. I guess cost of base stations is a key hurdle for telco's operating in the poorest nations.
I think Bush launched the US down this disastrous path. Whatever, US officials now seem very hazy about the rule of law etc. Consider the demand to Hong Kong that they deny Snowden his right to an extradition hearing "to uphold the rule of law" - law presumably meaning White House diktat.
I have used the scanners at Schiphol with no problem - but the UK version, which looks hugely more complicated and expensive, can't read my passport (or a lot of others). Perhaps the guy who came up with the android app should be given the contract for the airport scanners?
These things have LITHIUM batteries - LITHIUM explodes on contact with water. Elf and Safeti - we paranoids demand to see the risk assessment before we even watch this ....
