Whitehaven for $589, other Kohler deals
Neroselover posted a few days ago over in the Building forum about 20% off at OverstockDeals.com and I wanted to share the info over here in case anyone could benefit from it.
I purchased a Whitehaven sink there this past weekend because they had some Kohler discounts plus the 20% off. The Whitehaven 36" K-6489 was $589 total (no tax, free ship). The lowest I could find it elsewhere was $715 + tax. My sink is in transit to me now so I haven't actually received it, but In the meantime neroselover received some of her (his?) items and all seems good.
I'm about to order Ladena sinks and possibly other Kohler items as the prices are better there than anywhere else I've found. Also, MrRebates.com (a cashback site) offers 5% cashback. They've doubled the cashback %s on black friday in the past so I'm going to wait until this Fri to make the additional purchases just in case the cashback increases. FYI the 20% OverstockDeals is offering is good until 12/2, not sure how long the Kohler discounts will be available.
I know the Kitchen forum gets a lot more traffic than the Building forum so I wanted to post this info over here in case it helps anyone. All credit goes to neroselover.

E-mail-driven revenue rises 205% at JunkFoodClothing.com.
When customers receive daily-deal e-mail alerts they've signed up for on Delta Apparel Inc's. e-commerce sites, including JunkFoodClothing.com, conversion rates surge, says Nathan Maxwell, Delta's manager of e-commerce marketing. "The conversion has been tremendous—200% over the normal conversion rates for other e-mail marketing campaigns," he says.
That's saying a lot, because e-mail marketing in general already generates a significant portion of the retailer's revenue, Maxwell adds.
Delta Apparel operates four e-commerce sites: Soffe.com for activewear, SaltLife.com for beachwear, JunkFoodClothing.com for casual and licensed T-shirts and related apparel, and the wholesale apparel site DeltaApparel.com, which sells to customers including screen printers, schools and individuals with no minimum order size. The company also operates a few outlet stores under the Soffe and Salt Life brands.
E-mail marketing generates from 20% to 25% of the e-commerce sales for the company's Soffe, Salt Life and Junk Food Clothing Co. brands, Maxwell says. E-mail marketing is particularly strong at JunkFoodClothing.com, where e-commerce sales generated by e-mail rose 205% in 2011 over 2010, he adds. Junk Food Clothing specializes in selling apparel licensed by several major brands including the National Football League, Disney, Star Wars, DC Comics and The Beatles.
"E-mail is producing much bigger growth than other areas of marketing," he says. "The standard growth through other marketing channels is maybe double digits."
To spur even more consumer engagement with its daily deals, the retailer recently started to give customers the option of receiving daily deal alerts via SMS text messages as well as through e-mail. Although he didn't have hard data on response rates or conversion rates tied to text messages, Maxwell says he's encouraged by the potential of SMS to drive more sales. "What I've seen so far is that a high ratio of customers sign up for daily-deal text alerts," he says. "It's a great complement to e-mail."
Delta Apparel manages both its e-mail marketing and text message campaigns through Bronto Software Inc. Using an administrative web page in the Bronto system, Delta can set up the same marketing campaign to run through e-mail and SMS, Maxwell says.

Don't mess it up
In reflecting on my recent experience of having major surgery performed by Ocala Surgical Associates at Munroe Regional Medical Center, the overall performance of both groups involved could be described as nothing less than medical excellence.
With this "excellence in care" in mind, and considering all the discussions currently under way involving possible changes to the character, culture and organizational structure of MRMC, let's make sure, as a community, that we don't mess up a very good thing.
In the particular situation of MRMC, the warning illustrated in the title and words of the recorded song made famous many years ago by the Mills Brothers comes to mind: "You Never Miss the Water Till the Well Runs Dry."
Let's maintain excellence at MRMC. Don't mess it up.

Scared to try a paint sprayer
I have a big paint job to do, and I bought a Graco 3900. I'm having some reservations about actually trying it out. My fear is that if I put the paint in and try it and find out that I don't like it, I can't take it back and I've wasted the money. I worry about ease of use and I also worry that I'll be able to make it look nice. Anyone have any experience here? Is this easy to do for a beginner? Any tips?
Spraying is not really easy for a beginner. It takes practice and also some hand-eye coordination. Some people can pick it up fairly quickly though so it may depend on the person. You should probably go to your local rental and try one of their sprayers out for a day to see how you like it.
No. Sprayers are not easy for every beginner. Many people think spraying is easier than painting but it's really not. Plus, in the hands of the unskilled, a sprayer blows through a TON of paint. Feels like that $50 gallon of paint disappears before you even get started.
It takes practice and I wouldn't practice on anything that has to come out perfect. Also, would use cheaper paint. Notice I said cheaper, not cheap. There's a difference.
No reason to be scared as long as you know what you're getting into. Go for it. Try it. You could very well end up being very good with a sprayer and loving the process.
Although I don't know anyone who likes the clean up involved. :)

LDS general priesthood meeting to be broadcast live and online for the first time
Deseret News archives
SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will offer the male-only priesthood session of the upcoming general conference over live broadcast television and in real time over the Internet.
In a pre-conference press release issued Tuesday morning, church officials indicated the priesthood session of its 183rd Semiannual General Conference on Oct. 5 will be broadcast live on BYUtv and two online resources, LDS.org and the Mormon Channel. According to the press release, the church has chosen to do so "as part of a continued effort to make general conference proceedings more accessible to members around the globe."
Until now, the priesthood session has only been broadcast live to LDS meetinghouses via the church's extensive satellite system. To see it live, men and boys have had to travel to meetinghouses equipped with satellite dishes or attend the session in the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
The new procedure mirrors the pattern used for the live broadcast of LDS general Relief Society and Young Women meetings, which are held one week before general conference in the fall and spring, respectively.

Extensive evolutionary pattern and development that take place for a long period of time are called macroevolution. There are six important patterns of macroevolution and they are extinction, adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, coevolution, punctuated equilibrium, and changes in the developmental genes.
1. Extinction refers to the disappearance of the species or life form from the surface of the planet. These extinctions can be caused due to various factors. Sometimes in the course of competition, organisms fail to adapt and then disappear. However, not all extinctions are caused by the failure of the organisms to adapt and compete. Some were results of sudden changes in the environmental conditions that did not support the life. For instance, it is believed that dinosaurs became extinct as the result of asteroid hit on the planet earth, which was then followed by series of other unfavorable events like volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc. Such mass extinction helps the survivals to flourish in the new environment.
2. Adaptive Radiation refers to the evolution of different species form a single species by natural selection or similar processes those results into various species inhabiting different habitats. For instance, dinosaurs and early mammals evolved from reptiles. At first dinosaurs underwent adaptive radiation and rules the earth. After the mass extinction when dinosaurs disappeared, early mammals underwent adaptive radiation.

Winter visit.Posted Mar 7, 2015
Pros: The doormen, they were courteous, friendly, and quick. It was a nice 'first impression' of the hotel. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
Cons: changes in pricing, dates, would be helpful. I saw one rate when I first checked, and booked for a higher rate later.
Location: it was convenient and close to the major highway. There were many restaurants and shopping, within walking distance, if not just across the street!
There are many restaurants, and shops nearby, to walk to during bad weather. In addition, there is a nice bar, restaurant, and lounge in the hotel, so you don't have to leave. The staff were very sociable, and helpful, during a rough winter storm. I enjoyed my stay.

That part -- mating the materials with the intended purpose -- is the "art" in architecture. The "art" in programming (aside from some limited domains like UX or AI) is less immediately describable except by effect (e.g. "How quickly do new team members get up to speed?") but should be no less important to any project manager. I don't really think that programming has been around long enough for us to have our Frank Lloyd Wright moment, but that is no reason to ignore the "intangibles" and immeasurable aspects to quality code.

Encouraging your teenager to walk to school can help them do better in class - especially if they're female.
A study has suggested that a pupil's cognitive performance may be improved if they walk to school rather than be driven in, and girls are more likely to benefit from this than boys.
The new research, published in Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, found performance at school among teenage girls who take a walk to the classroom is better than those who travel by bus or car.
Females who took 15 minutes or longer to walk in outperformed those who live in closer proximity.
The researchers wrote, "Inactive adolescents could be missing out on a very important stimulus to improve their learning and cognitive performance."
Dr. Frank Eves, a Chartered Psychologist, commented that "The study suggests not only that active travel may be related to cognitive performance in girls but also that greater effects may occur for durations of 15 minutes of more."
But Dr. Eves pointed out that while the improvement seemed to correlate directly with the increased activity pre-school, circumstances surrounding the lifestyles and upbringing of those girls that walked to school could also have a bearing on how well the girls performed.
Regarding the study's finding that that there was no beneficial effect for teen boys, Dr. Eves said, "Although the authors seem to argue that girls show greater declines in physical activity during adolescence than boys, and hence are more likely to benefit, there would still be numerous boys who also could benefit."

Where are the June Bugs this year?
I haven't seen any this summer!
I think the Japanese Beetles ate them all. Seriously, I haven't seen any either but we did have JB way longer than usual. Butterflies were late getting here and I have seen way too few honey bees.
Here is a link that might be useful: blog
They may have all been in my yard. I had my husband chop down the crab apple tree that was growing by our back deck because it was covered in Japanese Beetles again. I'd hit it with a stick and watch hundreds of them fly off... while running to get away from them *shudder*
They are all on my hillside. South facing, dense enough that I decapitated five of them yesterday. Just because I could and they were slow moving.
When we had the bad drought two years in a row, many of them couldn't make it out of the heavy clay. Now they've filled in from surrounding areas.
Regular June Bugs (the bigger ones) have never really presented themselves as a problem that I know of. Japanese Beetles (look like June Bugs only smaller) are definitely destructive.
Also, June Bugs usually don't show up until July here in Tennessee. Go figure...
The June bugs are all here in Texas. The problems come with their Larva which are grum worms which will destroy the roots of grass and other plants. I'll ship some your way if you would like along with any size of grasshopper you choose. My daughter and her family just moved to Mount Juliet, TN and she was telling me about how green everything there is. We have a very severe drought here. Can you please send us some rain.
Come to think of it, I have not seen any that I can think of. They're normally all over the metroplex and hit windows/screen hard at night, drawn to the light. When they hit pavement, they usually tilt on their heads, buzz and spin. I'll bet they inspired the first 'break dancing,' too.
Three years ago, cicadas were hard to find in Oklahoma.

The more the citizens allow the government to abuse authority, the more it will push the envelope until all that remains is authority. You are allowing the government to pervasively expand its abuse and soon everyone will be subject to it. Thank you, Yasiin, for your compassion and willingness to be an example of a humanitarian. If I could, I would live elsewhere, but I am trapped by the same government which imposes its will all over the world. I wish america would take care of its own instead of forcing itself on everyone else, everywhere else...

It has been nearly a week since "The Book of Mormon" musical scored nine Tony Awards and a whole lot of adulation in Broadway's landmark Beacon Theater. During that time the musical has received additional praise for its creativity, its taboo-toppling brashness and its perceived ability to make people of faith laugh at themselves. The musical's soundtrack has soared to No. 3 in the Billboard Top 100 — the first Broadway soundtrack to do so since "Hair" in 1969. And it can now boast the highest single-ticket price in Broadway history at $487.25.
As the week progressed, however, a number of pundits stepped forward to voice their concerns about the musical's philosophical underpinnings, and what its meteoric popularity says about the state of religious tolerance in contemporary society.
Alexandra Petri, a humor columnist for the Washington Post, took advantage of "The Book of Mormon's" success to take a tongue-in-cheek look at religious bigotry.
"Anti-Mormonism is more widespread among the self-proclaimed enlightened and tolerant than among almost anyone else," Petri wrote, referring to Mormonism as "the Thinking Man's Prejudice. 'This isn't prejudice,' they squeal, when pressed. 'It's just that they're wrong! Besides, it IS a choice, isn't it? Aren't I entitled to judge someone because he believes something I personally find asinine?"
According to Petri, "Freedom of religion would be worthless if it didn't encompass the freedom to believe things that many sane and rational people deem absurd . . . The trouble is that no one's religious beliefs look sound from the outside. That is why they are beliefs. Religious beliefs . . . always seem a bit silly when you try to explain them to others."
And that, Petri suggested, is the bottom line of "The Book of Mormon."
"Some say the show mocks Mormons," she wrote. "But after listening to the cast album I worry that those people didn't understand the show. It seems to me as though the show is mocking all of us, poking fun at everyone complacent enough to think that what he or she believes is not on some level silly."
Dr. Harold Pease, a history and political science professor at Taft College, was not nearly so light-hearted as he mused about "The Book of Mormon's" creators admission that the show was designed to "gently mock Mormons."
"Imagine a script designed to 'gently mock' Islam or its sacred book the Quran, or Christianity and its sacred book the Bible," Pease wrote in the Bakersfield Californian. "The Middle East would be in flames, al-Qaida would grow and President Barack Obama would travel abroad on bended knee delivering speeches of apology."
Pease finds it ironic that "the people who create this kind of satirical expression, who defend, trumpet or advocate diversity, inclusion and acceptance — largely the entertainment and intellectual industries — often show none of these qualities in their own productions. Instead, they demonstrate quite the opposite, and in this case, profit off the mockery of the sacred beliefs of others to fatten their bank accounts, oblivious to who or what they may offend."
For Jared Farmer, a history teacher at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and author of an academic book on Mormons, "The Book of Mormon" is more offensive in its treatment of Africans than Mormons.
"The plot twists at the end raise questions about the racial politics of the show," Farmer observed. "Only a threat of American violence saves the villagers from the tyranny of the local warlord. Only the ingenuity of the white men provides Africans a useful religion. The dewy-eyed boys from Utah share the genius of Joseph Smith: the Yankee spirit of invention. The musical's happy ending, complete with missionaries in neo-Mormon garb, contains a strong note of American chauvinism."

With a new law, the German government wants to prevent employers from secretly videotaping their employees. But experts are criticizing the legislation, saying it still allows surveillance.
"Secret surveillance of employees can no longer be permitted in Germany," said Michael Frieser, an expert on the subject with the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), the sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
Merkel's coalition has promised more legal certainty over video surveillance for both employers and employees by clearing up existing gray areas. The German parliament, the Bundestag, is scheduled to vote on the legislation by the end of January.
Companies such as the supermarket chain Lidl and the telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom have sparked controversy by secretly filming their employees.
The draft legislation aims to make these controversies a thing of the past. Surveillance of any kind in private areas - such as changing rooms, sleeping areas and restrooms - would be totally banned by the new law.
Even publicized surveillance would be held to strict standards. Under the legislation, such surveillance could not be used to check the behavior or performance of employees, according to Gisela Piltz of the Free Democratic Party (FDP).
Publicized surveillance allowed
However, the legislation still permits some concealed cameras in the workplace, causing some critics to say the new law does not go far enough.
"But for example, break rooms - which are also used as conference rooms - can still be videotaped," criticized Gerold Reichenbach, a parliamentarian with the opposition Social Democratic Party (SPD).
"If you tell an employee beforehand that he or she may be video surveilled, then you can still mount a hidden camera at work," the opposition parliamentarian said. "You just can no longer film secretly with it."
A separate aspect of the legislation allows employers to gather information about current and prospective employees from social networks and credit agencies.
"We say that everything available for a third person to view may also be used in a job interview," Frieser said.
This was also disputed from the very beginning, and it continues to face a torrent of criticism over data protection concerns.
"In my view, this legislation does not create security in the workplace, but instead weakens data protection in favor of employers," said Thilo Weichert, the state commissioner for data protection in the northern state Schleswig-Holstein.
The unions in Germany also consider the protection foreseen by the law to be inadequate. They fear that a data retention system could be introduced.
Fighting crime in the workplace
The new provisions would permit data to be retained and used only when necessary. But what constitutes necessity under the legislation remains undefined. Moreover, personal data like account numbers can only be gathered to uncover criminal offenses and severe lapses of responsibility. And such data can only be passed on after being made anonymous.
FDP expert Piltz told DW that the new law would give employers clear rules to fight corruption. But the employers are complaining that they can no longer prosecute criminal acts as efficiently as before. They still prefer secretly recorded videotapes to investigate suspicions of criminal wrongdoing.
The chancellor's cabinet had already agreed on the draft legislation during the summer of 2010. But after the first reading in February 2011, the bill languished in the Bundestag for almost two years without any consensus.
US authorities could use the renewed Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Amendments Act (FISAA) to access data that European users have stored on US-based social media sites, an EU study cautions. (13.01.2013)
Perhaps Germany should look to the UK - the CCTV center of the world - as the former debates whether to use more public cameras after a murder in Berlin and a bomb plot in Bonn. In both cases, no footage was on hand. (18.12.2012)
The EU is getting nervous prior to the Greek Prime Minister's Moscow trip next week: Can Tsipras get economic aid in return for concessions in foreign policy? DW's Bernd Riegert reports from Brussels.
Talks between world powers aimed at reaching an agreement on Iran's nuclear program are set to continue. Negotiations are extending into a second day beyond the March 31 deadline.
The Indian government has announced it wants to double the Asian nation's exports over the next five years. It will also work towards adjusting existing tariff structures to make it easier for India to join trade pacts.

On Al Arbour and his St. Louis legacy
Blog: KK Hockey By George Malik
03/29/15 at 12:57 AM ET | Comments (0)
These kinds of articles are so superb that you can only begin at the beginning, and this one from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Dan O'Neill is a helluva read:
The way Scotty Bowman sees it, three components turned the St. Louis Blues into Stanley Cup finalists during their first three seasons. One was goaltender Glenn Hall. One was a trade to acquire Red Berenson and Barclay Plager.
And one was Al Arbour.
"He was the toughest competitor, most courageous player I ever coached," Bowman said. "He was the guy all the young players looked up to."
Alger Arbour now leans on every bit of that resilience and fortitude. He is being treated for Parkinson's disease and dementia near his home in Sarasota, Fla. He has difficulty with balance, with recollection and with words. He is in hospice care. The prognosis is dire.
But you can count on one thing. Arbour will battle, as he did as a defenseman for the Blues, as he did throughout a career in which he has been with teams that won the Stanley Cup eight times, representing four cities. The fact one of those locations isn't St. Louis is a pockmark on a franchise that is without a championship 48 seasons into its existence.

In the SHL, Axel Holmstrom scored two goals (click the link for the highlights) in Skelleftea AIK's 5-2, second-round-opening win over Mattias Backman and Linkopings HC. Holmstrom scored the 3-1 and 4-1 goals in only 13:01 in ice time, while the former Wings prospect Backman finished at -2 in 16:47.
As DRW Prospects on Twitter noted, Holmstrom's having a fantastic playoff run, especially given that he plays as Skelleftea's 3rd or 4th line center:
In the KHL, I get to be honest: because Alexander Kadeikin isn't playing, I'm rooting for Sergei Fedorov's team, CSKA Moscow, in the "Army Derby," and CSKA took a 2-0 series lead in via a 3-2 overtime win on Saturday.

Sabres, Coyotes' tanking could yield change in draft lottery
Blog: KK Hockey By George Malik
03/28/15 at 10:31 PM ET | Comments (0)
The Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch offers his usual amount of rumors in a Sunday column discussing scoops from around the league, but on an evening that even the New York Times profiled Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, Garrioch's most interesting tidbit involves the "TankGate" situation. According to Garrioch, the league is pretty peeved by the Sabres and Coyotes' rather blatant attempts to finish lowest in the league:
"It's embarrassing," a league executive said.
The battle for No. 1 pick Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters has been one that teams have been watching all season. For the most part, the Sabres have been sitting in last place, but once the Coyotes cleared the deck at the trade deadline they've really gone downhill.
"You can't blame the teams involved because there is a reward for failure and that's the highest odds in the lottery," said the executive. "Maybe you need to change the lottery to give all the teams that miss the playoffs an even chance at the No. 1 pick, or not weight it so much. Who knows?"
The league did change the lottery that gives the team that finishes last only a 20% chance at the No. 1 pick so there has been a major move. Now, they can't fall below No. 2 so if they don't win it's not that big a loss. Perhaps, the league needs to take a second look.
Garrioch continues with a cornucopia of rumors...

Saturday Headlines include a note about the Red Wings' 'goaltender controversy'; Zach Hyman, UFA?
Blog: The Malik Report By George Malik
03/28/15 at 10:11 PM ET | Comments (5)
Sportsnet's Damien Cox and Elliotte Friedman spoke about Connor McDavid vs. Jack Eichel, the World Championships and other topics such as NCAA free agents during their "Headlines" segment, but Damien Cox spent a decent chunk of time suggesting that the Red Wings have a bona-fide goaltending controversy and a goalie with a very large contract (4 more years at a $5.
3229 million cap hit) in Jimmy Howard, and it was strange to hear that out loud...
And for what it's worth, it was also intriguing to hear that a) the Panthers may not be able to sign free agent Zach Hyman and b) that Mike Green won't return to the Capitals.
Update: Here's Sportsnet's annotation of Cox's remarks:

Red Wings-Lightning wrap-up: When a statement is not a statement
Blog: The Malik Report By George Malik
03/28/15 at 10:04 PM ET | Comments (5)
The Red Wings boarded an early-evening flight to Long Island feeling a lot better about themselves thanks to Saturday's 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, but the Islanders will be coming off a 3-2 loss to Anaheim when the teams tangle tomorrow afternoon (5 PM EDT on FSD Plus), so things aren't going to get any easier for Detroit when Petr Mrazek taps the goalposts and prepares for the opening faceoff.
Regarding Saturday's game, the Lightning were incredibly upset at the Red Wings. They felt that Justin Abdelkader, who was involved in plays in which Jason Garrison and Cedric Paquette were injured, should have been penalized for his efforts, though the NHL referred everyone to this...

Saturday Night Hockey Talk
03/28/15 at 09:55 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
- The Leafs don't care to share their wish list for a future head coach but here's a decent guess of where they're heading: 1. Mike Babcock; 2. Todd McLellan; 3. Bruce Boudreau; 4. Dave Tippett; 5. Ken Hitchcock; 6. Peter DeBoer; 7. Paul MacLean. Not necessarily on the list, for some reason: Dan Bylsma.
- Amazing how stuff turns out: Dallas GM Jim Nill wanted to sign Vinny Lecavalier before he ended up signing in Philadelphia. Now the Flyers want Vinny out, badly. Had Nill signed him, he never would have traded for Tyler Seguin.
- This is easy: Now that Chris Pronger is eligible for Hall of Fame voting, he's a sure-thing for first-ballot induction this year. The Class of 2015 will include Pronger, Nicklas Lidstrom and Sergei Fedorov and if the Hall finally gets it right it will add the surprisingly forgotten Sergei Makarov.

Waiting On Mike Babcock
03/28/15 at 07:40 PM ET | Comments (3)
from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
While the spotlight entering the final two weeks of the NHL regular season is focused squarely on the enticing playoff races in both conferences, there are a handful of general managers and coaches who are primed for a blindfold and last cigarette.
And the reading of the last rites, of course.
Indeed, there is no shortage of men who are playing out the string over the next 14 days, all the while knowing that their tenure with their respective teams is coming to an inevitable end.
Whether it be the Leafs, Sharks, Flyers, Bruins, Devils, Sabres, Blues, etc., there are axes being sharpened throughout the league, poised to come down as part of various housecleanings going on from coast to coast.
And, according to one Eastern Conference executive, the catalyst for many of the ensuing moves could be Mike Babcock.

Am running 4.4.2 with beanstalk ROM. Question is, when watching videos from reddit links, some of the videos will open directly into the YouTube player, then some will open into the embedded chrome tab, where you have to click on play, then it opens the YouTube player and the video starts.
Is there a way of defaulting it to open just with the player, or is it the link that decides which way it opens?
Have tried clearing the defaults on the chrome and the YouTube player but it didn't seem to make any difference
Many thanks

Putin awarded 8th degree in Judo
Following the 60th anniversary of the International Judo Federation, celebrated last year in Paris on the occasion of the World Championships, the IJF had the honor of awarding the 8th dan to Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, who was also celebrating his 60th birthday on the 7th of October.
Being the Honorary President of the IJF, an Emeritus and recognized judoka, and having the stature of the Head of State of a preeminent country, Vladimir Putin is the perfect ambassador for Judo.
"It is a great honor for our international federation, as well as for the entire judo community, to count among us a very high personality of his reputation and standing," said Marius L. Vizer, the IJF President, before adding: "President Putin represents a high expression of the Judo Values in the world."

Growing citrus in plastic pot in patio on East side
I only have a tiny patio with a 2x3 feet garden where underneath it is tree roots from 20 years ago when the land was oak and pine tree farm. Those roots are still turning up clay soil. Most of my plants are in containers. I bought 20-24 gal plastic pots for my citrus plants a few months ago because the citrus have been in grower's pots for too many years. 1 or 2 of the citrus didn't have much roots, so I put them in a guesswork mix of compost + handful of Miracle Grow potting soil + gravels, and line 2" of the pot bottom with gravels and pebbles. I have 2 Kumquats (new this April), 1 grapefruit, 1 Meyer lemon, 1 mandarin, and 1 Satsuma. Since my potted plants are on concrete in a patio that has sunlight all day, I need my plants to be in moist growing medium so they won't die like my beautiful ficus did many years ago. The TX heat actually dried up the roots of my ficus.
Right now my Kumquats are having patchy yellow leaves. One of them has yellow patches with brown squiggly lines inside some of those yellow patches, or pale spots inside yellow. The other one has yellow leaves too, but more leaves turned yellow in a different way after I sprinkled Peters 20-20-20 on the mulch that is above the mixture of soil/compost/gravels. I did that because my plants are very weak looking and I guess the rain water that we've been having has washed away all nutrients in the soil mix. The application of fertilizer helped turn the leaves on my Meyer lemon green from yellowish light green. However, my Kumquats looked even worst. They had red mites on them before, but don't see them any more. May be the swamps of ants ate them? How can I bring my Kumquats back to health? What is wrong with them? Should I add sand to my soil mix? The 2 plants that have new leaves are on plant trollies, so I'm guessing it could be the heat. That heat we're having almost dried up my tomato plant in 1 day. Thanks for any input.
Maybe the link below will be helpful.
Here is a link that might be useful: This should provide a good starting point for you ....
Definitely read Al's primer on container trees. Where exactly in Texas are you (I'm in Houston).
What do you mean by "the roots are still turning up clay soil"? Do you have 2 feet X 3 feet of open ground space? If the trees are dead and these are just roots left behind, this would make a *perfect* space for a raised bed. Seriously, perfect.
If you can afford large clay pots, you really should spring for them. The big black plastic pots absorb all the solar radiation and bake the roots in the south. If you can't do that, making plywood boxes to or even using some opaque cloth to shade the plastic from the sun would help a lot. A lot of the excessive moisture loss has nothing to do with the temperature of the air, but rather the temperature of the roots.
Be more detailed about the yellowing leaves, because I couldn't get a good sense of what you mean. Pictures would be really helpful. The most common yellowing problems for citrus are due to secondary and micronutrient deficiencies (magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc are the most common).
Is the yellowing in between the veins, with the veins remaining green. This is called interveinal chlorosis, or christmas tree chlorosis. Does it start on the oldest leaves and progress up the tree? This is usually magnesium deficiency.
Is the yellowing on the newest growth, and interveinal? This is usually iron deficiency.
The brown squiggly lines sounds like leafminers. Most experts agree that this is almost entirely an aesthetic problem on otherwise healthy trees - the leaves still work, they're just ugly. But on trees that are already highly stressed, this is a major problem.
Ants do not prey on red spidermites (oh how I wish..). Heavy rain usually results in major spidermite mortality though, especially if all the leaves are exposed to it. If you have spidermites on any of your plants, you need to get rid of them.. they can't handle the stress on top of everything else. All you need to do is give your plants a serious bath, focusing on the underside of the leaves, as often as you can. A forceful stream of water is all that's need to kill or remove spidermites. Insecticidal soap or horticultural oils are very effective, but you have to apply them at night because citrus is very susceptible to phytotoxicity.
I don't want to overwhelm you, but there's quite a bit you can learn about an ideal container soil. I've linked another of Al's (Tapla) epic posts that has transformed that way a lot of us container garden. If it's too much for you to absorb at once, just take away this - the 2" layer of pebbles and gravel does not improve drainage... it actually makes conditions worse for your plants.
And I forgot the link.
Here is a link that might be useful: Container Soils - Water Movement and Retention
Its been a long time since i have been on here....last time i was living in Auckland NZ....Now i am in WA Australia.
I learned a lot from Al on here about mixes....In nz it rained a lot and summers were not that hot...so i grew 8 citrus trees in terracotta(breathe) and used container mix with perlite mixed in......Now i am in wa aussie where it will be very hot...i have used the same mix but in plastic to help conserve the moisture.....we will see how it goes.
I have found that yellowing leaves can be caused by overly wet soils as well...the citrus in the ground grow really well here but in summertime there is virtually no rain and 30-40 degree heat.
The enemy of pot grown citrus is over watering and a heavily based organic mix...overtime this will compact and rob the roots of the air spaces they need to breathe...esp in plastic....so you must blend inorganic particles into your mix....sand is not ideal as they are small....i find with perlite it stops the mix compressing which allows the roots to move in easily and take water/nutrients.......the other thing is to upsize pots gradually......so stale water doesnt develop in areas where the roots havent found yet......I killed a lot of trees by putting then in pots way too big.....put plenty of drain holes at the bottom and put some onion bag mesh to keep insects out and avoid loss of mix......aim to dry out the top half of mix before watering....let the roots search for their drink......fert with npk 5/1/3 ratio plus trace elements(as close as poss).....only feed when growing...I like liquid organic feeds like seaweed and fish emulsion.
I have 6 more trees on the go now and they are putting out heaps of new growth but there is a lot of rain through august....which concerns me.
