This review is from: Performing Parades [2CD+DVD] (Audio CD)
Efterklang's grandiose swan song with Leaf and what a way to sign off. Hire the biggest orchestra imaginable and the proceed to recreate your most famous record in pure theatrical style. Efterklang are possibly the best live band I've ever witnessed and this is a fitting document to their joyous, exuberant sound. Watch them explode in 2010, with their forthcoming 4AD-backed new album.

Finbar the looney "Charcots" (London uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Performing Parades [2CD+DVD] (Audio CD)
Those new to the Pheneminem that is Efterkleng are not in for an easy ride,this Danish collective,play extreme music,very much in the mould of "Sigur ros" thry weave their way through complicated time structures that reflect both the beauty and harshness of their surroundings.
For the live performance DVD the electronics have been replaced mainly by conventional instruments incuding the Harmonium,and this adds to the enjoyment.the choir sounds other worldly throughout bringing to mind "Atom heart mother" and works of that ilk.
Thisis not a recoding to be taken lighly,but persevere and you will get there.
The production is clean and crisp,and the gatefold packaging is good as well

British police said the case of missing girl Madeleine McCann had all the hallmarks of a planned abduction, as they released new images of men wanted in connection with her 2007 disappearance.
Police have released six e-fit images of five men spotted around the time of the three-year-old disappearance from her family's holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort town of Praia de Luz in May 2007.
Two of the images are of a man who was seen carrying a blonde child in pyjamas on the night Madeleine disappeared.
"Madeleine McCann's disappearance does, on one reading of the evidence, have the hallmarks of a pre-planned abduction," the detective in charge of the case told the BBC's Crimewatch program this morning.

Common Red - Help ID
bluepoppyMay 12, 2007
I bought this red maple about 4 years ago and it didnt have a name-tag. I'm sure its a common one.
I normally "label" all my plants, but I'm not so good at ID'ing trees.
A lot of the red maples look similiar to me.
Help please!
myersphcf(z6a IL)
Impossible to know with any certainty hundreds of varieties are out there but if it is common it is most likely a Bloodgood or more common Atrpurpureum..but you are in JM country so it could be anything ..if you lived in the heartland I would almost guarentee it is one of those two.. The leaves are hard to see but look a little too pointed to "definitly" be one of those two but I'd still say it is one of them "probably"...David

Coco-Coir .vs. Peat Moss...
I never knew there was such a heated-debate going on over peat moss being a renewable resource but it's made me wonder...
What's the general consensus towards coco-coir? I just started using it as a soil replacement (indoors) and soil amendment (outdoors) and it's been doing fantastic for me, although it's considerably too expensive to use in large quantities.
A 24-brick case of it costs me about $70 USD which roughly equates to...god, I don't know, a 1/2 a cubic yard? 1 brick, when rehydrated to field capacity will fill a 3-5 gallon bucket - how ever much volume that is, lol.
Okay, let me see if I can figure out what is happening.
Oldmainer makes an observation.
Kimmsr makes an observation.
Neither is directed at the other, but, rather for the original poster.
Oldmainer tells kimmsr to re-read his post.
Rdak gives a rah-rah.
Kimmsr says his observation is not directed to Oldmainer.
Olmainer says he didn't say anything about that.
I think I know what's happening. Sorry, just needed to think out loud.
Peat bogs are valuable wildlife habitat, valuable carbon sinks, valuable water filters, and their renewability seems to be mostly theoretical. I'd like to see statistics on how much peat land has actually been renewed after it's been stripped.
Most coir comes from India. It's a waste product, and renewable, but comes from thousands of miles away, and requires lots of fresh water for cleaning - in a country not renowned for its soil or fresh water resources - so I wouldn't call it sustainable. I read about this after seeing a block of coir, enough to make 3 cubic feet, for 7.95, at the local hardware store for the first time, and buying it to pot up greenhouse plants in, mixed with garden soil and compost. I'm not sure I'd buy more, now that I've read about it. Like Kimm says, compost is the best - free, renewable and sustainable.
That said, though, since I have it I'd be interested to know of people's experience with using coir as a peat substitute - how is it for holding water for instance. Also coir pots for seedlings.
When it comes to the performance of coir vs. peat moss, here are the primary differences:
Coir is less acidic than peat moss which is mined out of peat bogs that naturally have an acidic environment. Peat moss may acidify your soil enough that some of the more sensitive plants may need the soil to be neutralized before they can thrive.
The dispute about which one holds more water is pretty much irrelevant, since both hold so much water that as a soil amendment, both would dramatically boost soil water and nutrient retention. My experience is that coir holds an enormous amount of water; one little brick labeled as 1/3 cubic foot (expanded) typically expands way beyond 1/3 c.f. if you give it as much water as it will soak up.
Coir contains a great deal of lignin, which makes it very slow to decompose (which is a good thing). I have heard that it decomposes more slowly than peat moss, which does not have the lignin content of coir, but I have not had enough years of experience with it to be sure. The reason this is supposed to be beneficial is that coir is supposed to be able to keep benefitting the soil for years after being added, whereas peat moss would break down before coir and require another addition.
The Canadian Peat Moss association cites studies that show that coir's performance is very near to that of peat moss, but peat moss is better over-all as a soil amendment, especially for for sandy soil. Then again, these people have a conflict of interest, since they mine the peat moss for a living. The whole point of adding either peat moss or coir is to add cellulose fiber to loosen soil and to help it hold water and nutrients. Compost also adds some of this, along with nutrients; coir and peat moss by themselves do not have any plant nutrient value.
Once ecological concerns are factored in, my personal verdict is for coir: peat moss is mined out of peat bogs, and takes 25 years or more to naturally renew, if they are so preserved, but there is no guarantee that the industrial mining operations that mine peat actually take such care. Peat bogs are a natural carbon sink that hold more carbon than all of the world's forests. Removing the peat doesn't release it into the air unless the peat is burnt, but it does release carbon dioxide into the air as it decomposes. Peat bogs are also habitats, which mining disturbs. On the other hand, coir is a waste product and has no recovery time, as the places that produce it constantly produce more as a byproduct of the coconut harvest.
I'm in California, and I find that coir bricks are not as expensive as people say it is, depending on how much you need. Large bales of peat moss are cheaper, but the 1 cubic foot (compressed) bales of peat moss (which expand to about 2 ft.) are more expensive than the equivalent expanded volume of coir.
If price is your concern, for large volumes, peat moss is cheaper, but you may have to buy oyster shell meal to neutralize the acidity, so factor that in. For small volumes, reconstituted coir bricks are definitely cheaper than peat moss. However, if you factor in that coir decomposes more slowly than peat, that too may tip the scales.
The Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association's study supporting peat moss as superior:
Note: there's a subtle thing you must not miss when you read the above link: it's not just peat moss they used, but peat moss amended with lime. Remember: peat moss is acidic and itself needs to be amended to neutralize its acidity.
Here's a study that shows Coir dust as a viable alternative to peat moss:
Coir Dust, A Viable Alternative to Peat Moss
G. C. Cresswell (1992) looked at coir dust in comparison to sedge and sphagnum peat products and concluded that it has superior structural stability, water absorption ability and drainage, and cation exchange capacity compared to either sphagnum peat or sedge peat.
Here is a link that might be useful: Coir Dust: a viable alternative to Peat Moss
You have a product to sell, and you want to sell lots of it so you can make a lot of money. To get people to but this product you need research to tell people they cannot live without what you are selling so you pay some people to come up with results that say your product is good, even though it really does nothing that other, much less expensive similar products also do, sometimes better.
That is what manufacturers, and/or seller organizations do, provide not quite false information to convince people to buy that product. Most people really do not need peat moss or coir because they have access to lots of another, better product that is renewable, and is most often today a source of pollution becasue of improper use and/or storage.
What about corn stalks or leaves from shucked corn? If we are talking about lignin (slow to decompose) doesn't corn stalks and leaves have a hign lignin content? Would shredded corn by-product make a good, cheap, plentiful, local and long-lasting soil ammendment?
Why are people so taken with the idea of purchasing stuff to put into their gardens? I make heaps and heaps of compost and it is the best darn stuff in the world. If you can't make enough compost, then you aren't scavenging hard enough.
Between bags of other people's leaves in the fall, the horse farm down the road, and the old produce I get weekly, I can actually make as much compost as I need. Sure we do a little schlepping now and then, but it is all local stuff that is being discarded, and the results are fabulous - free compost in large quantities. I have put it in all my gardens and raised beds (about a dozen of them) and still have 50 gallons left. Heh heh heh. I don't buy peat moss or coco-coir or fertilizer or any darn thing except seeds and an occasional plant. Think how nature gardens, and with lovely results.
i work for Powerstrading, a marine salvage company, and we have about 10,600 blocks of this coco peat. we are selling it for $0.50 a block for the whole lot and $100 per pallet which is about 80-90 blocks. also if u have any good info you would like to throw at me id love to learn more about the stuff. we have a chemical breakdown sheet you can see if you are interested its located in Charleston SC. please email or call me for more info. this stuff will be gone by the end of the month

If the peat industry was in any way hurting by way of sales, the argument that the people who sell it needs telling people why they should use it and so put more money in their pockets.....is so ridiculous a point that it doesn't deserve the light of day.
The person who makes that suggestion is always telling posters how everybody is a crook, is out to steal from them and no one in the gardening industry should be trusted.
Topsoil is worthless, compost bought at a dealer is not worth the trip, garden implements are made to break and so need replacement.....and so on, and so on.
He really looks at the world through dark colored glasses.
And this from a self-admitted person who doesn't have a lawn worth a pinch of c....sh..
He resides in a state whose economy is based on how much more oil can be eaten up and yet he professes we shouldn't fertilize our farms because "excess" is ruining our water courses.
Canada's peat industry has today, more peat ready to amend the world's soil than can be possibly used even if everyone of its people were to have need of it.
China today is feeding its people more than it ever could and so needs less importing and wants to buy---and thus control...more of other nations natural resources; especially oil and natural gas. It is one of the leading countries now using Canada's peatmoss to further its farming.
And Canada is creating more and more every day and renewing a large proportion of the areas mined in short years.
His idea of non-renewable resources is ....leave them in the ground.....we're wasting them.
When would we make use of such resources.....NEVER it seems.
The gold, silver, lead, nickel, should just stay where it is. The auto industry that uses much of Canada's iron ore, the nickel that makes the steel better, the aluminum that makes up 99% of the bodies and engines....
all ..should be left where it is.
Yet he drives a car, heats his apartment with natural gas,
eats food from farms that use such resources, and otherwise picks and chooses to argue about what renewable resources are.
Everything is much better not used....there's always something better....and something that doesn't cause injury to our Planet.
I wonder if the State economy is ready to accept his theories on such global saving.
Would Michigan then turn to their northern neighbors and ask for handouts.
After all, we're the source of the peatmoss; where a large chunk of its oil use is coming from, where his home is being heated with our gas and where most the world's fresh water lies.
Yea, unfortunately the debate about peat almost always gets nasty. I support the Canadian peat industry. I believe it is being managed in a sustainable fashion. I like peat because it adds some acidity, as well as water retention, to my sandy, alkaline soil.
I do not support bashing members of the forum. Debate is an art and a skill which people need to cultivate. It is not cool to appoint oneself judge, jury and executioner, or to encourage such behavior. What a pity that a point which could have been well-taken has been undermined because of the method of delivery.
Hi Lorna...you have hit the old nail on the head with your comments. I also support the Canadian peat industry and think it's alive and well. All I have to say at the moment is if some folks don't know about peat moss...and don't want to use it thats great...leaves more for you and I...:-) Franklin

"Why are people so taken with the idea of purchasing stuff to put into their gardens?"
I don't know, maybe because we've all been trained to fork over money to get something/anything done.
When I first started gardening, I bought 150 bags of pine bark mulch because it was 'on sale', & the big box store delivered it one Friday night;
I nearly killed myself spreading it around, but I was extremely pleased with myself;
I thought I had solved all the soil problems I could ever possibly face.
Within about 4 months, that stuff was gone, *eaten* by a micro-herd that had been starved by at least 80 years of abusive "land management" (cotton had been grown on it until the soil was too exhausted to support cotton, then cattle had been pastured until a developer bought it).
only 4 months!
That's when I realized that I could spend all kinds of money on the yard/soil/garden, or I could spend zero.
Spending zero is a lot more fun.
Peat - Renewable or Not? - Does it Matter?
Chicken Little would be aghast at the inference peat is renewable! In my estimation, it doesn't matter much if it's renewable or not, and I refuse to be made to feel guilty about using any form of peat.
Here is a reply I often leave when the non-renewable thing comes up:
"Sorry, but I'm not buying the non-renewable lament. In Canada alone, there are more than 270 million acres of harvestable peat bogs. If we make the conservative guess that the harvestable portions of these bogs are 10 feet deep, that means there are probably more than 900 billion cu. ft. available for harvest, just in Canada, and that's just the stuff that's economically advantageous to harvest! These numbers don't even take into consideration what's available in Europe, Asia, or places like New Zealand where they also mine peat. Canada currently has mining/harvesting operations underway on approximately 40 thousand acres or about .014% (that reads 14 one thousandths of 1 percent).
Check the math - it's accurate and conservative. It's more likely that the next ice age will be upon us and glaciers will have covered what's available before we even use a noticeable percentage.
Renewable/non-renewable = moot."
"Peat moss may acidify your soil enough that some of the more sensitive plants may need the soil to be neutralized before they can thrive."
Can you name some of those "more sensitive" plants? This Spring, I ran out of soiless mix to start seed, so I mixed together just (no lime) peatmoss and perlite. Every kind of seed that I planted in this mix flouished, e.g, tomato, pepper, zinnia, marigold. I used soluble fertilizer, but that was acid too.
As an experiment, try amending soil with milled sphagnum moss (like peatmoss but harvested alive). It decomposes faster than peatmoss, but you will get superior plant growth before it decomposes. When I was a teenager circa 1963, I had good success growing banana plants in a mixture of sphagnum moss and peat muck. I guess you could say that I left out the middleman (peatmoss).
Hmm, I don't quite buy the "oh there's so much peat that there's plenty for all of us," argument.
I mean, passenger pigeons used to outnumber all other birds in North America combined. I'm sure nobody at the time thought we'd ever run out of those either. And sailors in the North Atlantic used to joke that you could probably walk from Europe to North America on the backs of cod.
So I'm still concerned about whether we're taking it out much faster than it can be replaced. If we are, then that's not a good thing. Too many historical examples of natural resources we never thought we'd run out of that we're now out of.
The question is whether we really are taking it out too fast. Maybe we're not. I'm not sure.
Now, on the other hand, coconut fiber is a byproduct that we'll never use up as long as we're farming coconuts.
That's cool, but I've never seen any coir at my local stores, just peat moss. And yeah, I've bought quite a bit of peat moss in my time, because it's awesome, especially in soil mixes for starting seeds. So nice and spongy!
Also, I have very alkaline soil. Not everyone has to add lime to their peat moss! The bedrock here is limestone. I cringe every time people talk about the horrors of putting acidic things in your soil, assuming that's a bad thing for anybody to do. I'm always digging limestone rocks out of my beds. If only I had rock-crushing equipment I could sell it to people who think they need to add lime to everything and make a FORTUNE! (Ok, I'm joking about that last bit.)
I also don't buy the claim that compost = peat moss. Not in my experience! "Oh, the fools who buy peat moss when you can get compost for free!" Apples and oranges there. I've worked plenty with both substances, and it's obvious that they do very different things in your garden and containers.
I try to use as little peat moss as possible, but I still break down and buy some every now and then, because I just don't know of anything else that has the same desirable properties peat moss does, mainly super water retention and acidity. But I've cut way back on it because of the sustainability issues.
Basically, I really wish I could find coir around here. And too bad it's not as acidic as peat, because I think my soil has a pH of like 8 or 9.
If you'd like to split hairs, I said "Garden Soil Amendment", not "Planting Hole Amendment". Besides, if you knew your stuff, you'd know that it's been shown best, and current practice is, to NOT amend planting holes with anything - to backfill only with native soil.
You're probably right about Bill Gates - strong work - keen grasp of the obvious. ;o)

"Too expensive as a garden soil amendment unless you harvest it yourself."
Not too expensive for one planting hole as an experiment.
Not too expensive for Bill Gates.
struwwelpeter is a pain in our Equus africanus asinus
All the bs aside, I use sphagnum peat moss It comes from my neighbors to the north not some big greedy monster! Choir is shipped by ocean from where? I don't care! I do use all the local talent/material I can. Is not a garden for being close to the earth? Should one not be close to the soil you live on? Should you not grow plants that thrive in your soil? Why change the soil for the plant, when you can change the plantings for the soil? I am Sorry but the control issues can get rampant on here and gardening gets forgotten. If I stepped on a few toes good! Wish I could step harder!!
led_zep_rules is RIGHT ON!
IMHO... nothing beats compost for improving most outdoor garden soils. Nothing is more sustainable or renewable than making/using one's own compost. The definition of home gardening sustainability is reuse of resources on the site, and bringing in as little from off the site as possible. So... making one's own compost is a very good thing for the soil and for the planet.
Well, thank you! I popped back into Gardenweb after quite an absence and came to this group first. I agree that compost does not equal peat moss, but in what situation is compost not the best solution? I use it in my raised vegie gardens, in flower pots, to improve hard dry soil, make soil fluffier. Yes, compost will break down over time, and peat moss doesn't, but then you just put more compost on a year or two later. And the compost is free and comes from stuff other people are throwing away. Pretty obvious to me that compost is superior to peat moss or coir. Fluffy, holds water, and it's nutritious. I do have some coir based seed starting soil, mostly because I got it free from Gardens Alive!
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just found out about the "non-renewable" aspect of sphagnum peat moss. Al, do you have a link supporting that only ~.1% of available sphagnum is being harvested? I believe you, but always prefer the primary literature. ;) If only 1/1000 of the resource really is harvested per year, and it takes ~1000 years to renew, well then it actually is staying balanced and is renewable....
Thank you!
Oops, found this right after I posted:
" Annually, peat moss accumulates at more than 70 times the rate it is harvested."
Would be nice to find evidence for that in from a source without a conflict of interest though.
Quite a debate going on coir vs peat. Locally I can get peat for about $10 a bale - Canadian spahgnum OMRI 3.8 cu ft. Lasts me quite a while I buy this size as I do mix it in with a lot of plants and or worm bins. I mix this with pott. soil. verm. and vermicompost.
Now I find I can get a brick of coir 11 lbs equates to 3 cu ft shipped to my local walmart free $11.99 Now this stuff is PH neutral so Im told and renewable. So here I am jumping on the bandwagon going to try a brick of it. This is labeled as "beats peat" 100% coir. Ive heard others say they have to wait a week a so to get this as Im guessing its shipped from CA.
I don't know the difference between Sphagnum peat and "peat moss". Aren't they the same? Surely it isn't the stuff that clings to live oaks down south. I have bought some coco coir square packages. I had a gift card I received for X-mas. I finally used it to purchase several square packages of coco coir. I ordered from AMAZON. Then I had bought it at a local Big-lots a year or 2 ago for $2.50 a bale. Each of the 2 of these sources of soil ammendments , Coconut coir and peat moss are considered bad by some, but as mentioned already, don't break down fast like fall leaves and coffee grounds, compost, too. I think if coir was in the big box stores, people would buy it. But it has been mentioned that it is shipped from far away, and therefore not so environmentally friendly. So, basically, those in the northern US, are close to the peat bogs, but some say it isn't renewable, so don't buy. But don't buy coir because it costs to ship it from it,s source. I use fall leaves and some wood chips, but these need replaced about twice a year as mulch. As soil ammendments, I would guess that they disappear quickly, but with crops in the soil, can't be added more than once, in fall or winter, before planting. I think that if stores loaded up their delivery trucks with lots of products that bring lots of money, they could carry some coconut-coir and make a profit. I used some on a raised bed by my kitchen door, (coconut coir) last spring and it looks like nothing has rotted away. If Coconut coir was cheap again, like when I found it for $2.50 at big lots, I would use it under my trees and all my veg/ flower beds liberally. But of course that will never happen. Well, the peat moss isn't good for mulch anyway, it needs to be added to the soil, to help with moisture retention, and to retain nutrients, and soil cations, if I recall correctly. If I haven't , sorry to confuse. I still will use the fall leaves I have as mulch, and add some wood mulch, and some coconut coir on some beds.
poaky, Not all peat and peat mosses are the same. Most of the peat moss offered for sale is sphagnum, but there is also some reed and sedge peats . Peat moss is constantly being renewed and is on millions of acres. I get most of my sphagnum from a local bog.
Coir does have some limits of availability if more people used it.
All renewable/sustainable arguments aside, I used a mix soil for blueberry plants that is 2 parts peat, 2 parts coir, and 1 part perlite, to get an blueberry agreeable PH level from the peat. I also sneaked in some compost and organic acidifier. I'll probably want to start using coir instead of peat for seed trays more but someone really needs to start shaking the coconut tree... coconut water, coconut oil, and coconut coir are way too expensive. Though as said above 5 kilos of coir for 12 bucks is pretty great. Could be forced to make the trip to the wallmarket to save a few dollars.
Today I went to my local Lowes store. I saw a different looking form of "Sphagnum peat". But it was in a small bag, and for Orchids. It was too expensive to buy in large amounts. I will search Ebay for a big bag, but am sure I will not find it. If anyone has a source where Me and others can order some of these ammendments, please share.

Yes, I agree. He thinks he's clever. I laugh at the sheer idiocy of his posts. He has the reading comprehension skills of a 2nd grader.

Maybe they scream because you are deaf.
What about the children?
You never answer. You just say anyone who asks is a moron. What kind of dopey "Law" is that?
If asked "what about the children" in a poly family they would tell you they are thriving. I suspect they are in a same sex marriage too.
So Rose_NoHo. Once and for all, What about the children? The answer is not "only morons ask".

by not making the right bunk mate. Please wash your hands before you get back on but as you can see I'm a lady
#177261 Jan 26, 2013
No, of course you didn't. Your reply to that post about marriage partners being "sometimes more than two" said absolutely nothing about polygamy....silly me...
#177262 Jan 26, 2013
I can see Russia from my back porch?
More magoo news; Fox News Channel is parting ways with former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, ending her three-year tenure as a contributor (thats a bunch of bull) on the network.
#177263 Jan 26, 2013
Guess I misread that one, but you seem to promote promiscuous behavior, anyway, why do you wish to draw a line at the marriage level ?
#177264 Jan 26, 2013
Any well drawn out contract can grant the same provisions, without allowing for a misappropriation of a title that is not rated.
#177265 Jan 26, 2013
Your words attempt to remove all responsibility from the parents. You know it, as well as I do. We have many arguments against SSM. You just attempt to dismiss them, with silly, made up laws like you constantly spout off with. Who decides the "legitimate concerns", you ? You have appointed yourself as the "Chancellor Of Child Safety And Indoctrination" ? You seem to approve of addressing sexual behavior to children in elementary school. Are you a predator, and you wish them to be made ready for your advances ? Is that it ?
#177266 Jan 26, 2013
Janey Doody is a particularly nasty little piece of work from across the river in Joisey infamous for his insane fake cackle.
He claims it's a real laugh because something was funny. But of course everyone knows better.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha
hahahahahahahahahah...etc. ad nauseum.
It's hard to decide who is the nastiest little piece of work, Janey Doody or Rose_NoNo. They run neck and neck. We should run a contest. The prize being a bronze douche bag.
#177268 Jan 26, 2013
That's what I gleaned from it too. That Rose_NoHo supported polygamy. Thought the old war wagon was becoming more tolerant!
No such luck. She's a hypocrite.
She'll say "I never said I was against polygamy." The classic Rose_NoHo dodge.

Pardon Bruno's rudeness and racism Momma he's such an icehole! He's a second class jackass!
#177270 Jan 26, 2013
I honestly believe that he is pathologically prevented from giving straight answers, and that evasions are the only currency that he possesses. Along with the hatred that he has evinced for the world, in general.

Obama reminds me of Hitler, very good oratory skills, wooing over the populace but with a hidden agenda. I don't think it is genocide but I think his hidden agenda that, combined with the Democrats running the house and congress, will dramatically shift America to the left.
Well done.I'm an independent. To me, the real reason why McCain trails Obama, is that the labels of the past no longer stick.Obama is not, as has been quoted, 'the most liberal' candidate for president ever. Obama strikes a new tone, of centrism, and more, of a modern approach which pushes the definition of candidates back to the individuals, what people stand for, who they are, as opposed to what stickers they slap on their heads.McCain is losing because his message has overwhelming centered on his opponent. We have had a hard time discerning what he stands for. Many see the choice of Sarah Palin as having more to do with the campaign than the presidency, and that speaks profoundly to the man. Eagleburger's comments appear to confirm that.The leadership of the free world is at stake, and many of us respond to Obama's message of hope, innovation, and... conservatism. Truly being conservative of our resources, our money, and ourselves. Speaking thoughtfully of others, and listening to both sides.Liberals, btw, have not been enthralled with his candidacy, as time and again he has proved impenetrable. He will do as he sees fit. He is not in a position to win this election because of liberals. He is there because of himself.I for one look forward to re-uniting our country in the common goal of leadership and returning grace, wisdom and greatness to America, and at least for the next four years, putting an end to the petty divisions of the past.
One would think a magazine entitled 'The Economist' would balk endorsing a candidate who was once a card-carrying member of the overtly socialist-leaning New Party, or would be clear-eyed enough to know the attacks on Sarah Palin--her intellect and qualifications--have been manufactured whole-cloth by the propaganda arm of the Obama Campaign, otherwise known as the mainstream American media. News: Obama's proposals to increase taxes, impose protectionist tariffs, and eliminate 401Ks will push an already shaky economy over the brink, his foreign policy inexeperience and natural passivity will invite aggression and heighten, not lessen, the risk of major regional or even global war, and McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate was and is the best example of his decision-making abilities to date. You discredit yourselves.
Why are so many on the right making so much noise about Obama's lack of military or foreign policy experience, executive experience, trade protectionism, etc.? What was Mr. Bush's foreign policy experience when he first ran for office? Absolutely none - he had not even traveled outside of the US. Obama has lived overseas, and understands cultural and racial dynamics far better than Bush ever did or ever will. What about Mr. Bush's military experience? None - remember the problems he faced during his first campaign about his military record? That was certainly all overlooked. The fact that Obama's views are left-leaning are no more scary than the hard-right partisanship of Bush and his cohorts - yet that is acceptable? If Republicans don't like the winds of change blowing their way, too bad.
Neither candidate has the qualification to be President. Mr McCain has made an awful choice of running mate. Mr Obama has never achieved anything of substance. Both are legislators, not executives. The sad thing is that there are candidates who do have the right qualifications but who were overlooked. These are: Mark Warner, who could not run because the Democratic Party did not want to nominate a white man; Mitt Romney, who could not run because Americans do not seem to believe in freedom of religion; Arnold Schwarzenegger, who cannot run because the Americans, despite claiming to be a country of immigrants, do not allow immigrants to hold the highest public office. Mr Obama may be the lesser of two evils, or the better of two lessers, but he certainly does not deserve this job.
Concern of a President Palin, as mentioned in this article, should have also been weighed with consideration of a President Biden. The man fills the air with empty words, and shows no regard to whether they contain any truth. If he became President, the world would not be able to take him seriously. One might say that Sen. Obama is young enough that this should not be of concern. Why, then, has he not released his health records? Did his tobacco smoking affect his health? And, worse yet, Sen. Biden has had serious health problems in the past...next in line for the presidency would be Speaker of the House Pelosi. And, THAT would be reason for more than concern, it would be truly frightening.
Thank you for your reasoned opinion. Unlike several others, here, I will renew my subscription when the time comes. I surely hope that The Economist is able to continue publishing, given the mass exodus of readers. I have always thought of The Economist as the thinking man's (and woman's) newspaper. You have not disappointed, though it was a long wait. While the selection of the less-risky candidate is compelling, perhaps the better criterion might be leadership. Leadership involves inspiring others, instilling hope in the future, and exercising critical, rational judgment in dealing with the important issues. Obama is the only candidate that meets this criterion. McCain's judgment is open to question on so many fronts. One would only have hope, under McCain's leadership, if one is hopeful, now, after the last eight years of Bush's leadership. To me, Obama has the potential to give hope to Americans and the entire world. After a long, dark age, there will be hope for a better world, not just in America.
Obviously Obama's victory is better for US and the world. History claims for complete reversion of Republican failed policies of last eight years. I hope a liberal wave will help to replace western world in the way of secularism and civil liberties. Hasta la vista, neoconservatives. Bye, Karl Rove.
This was a very well written article in regards to outlining both candidates, but the problem I see with The Economist's decision to back Obama is this: it is mentioned they think McCain may revert back to his more moderate stance if he is elected, but when they discuss Obama and him becoming more moderate as the election looms they don't seem to account for the fact that he too may go back to his extreme far left stances if elected. They say McCain has engaged in dirty politics and that it has changed him, but they never acknowledge that Obama has engaged in the same dirty game. He has changed almost all of his core values. Is that not just as bad if he is doing so simply to appease the public and win the vote only to return to his true stance after elected? Politics are always ugly. What needs to be looked at is the candidates records BEFORE the nomination got under way. Time and time again McCain has proven himself and though he was not interested in the economy beforehand his insticts and republican stance of lowering taxes, the value of incentive, and the position that our country was founded based on opportunity has never been wrong. Obama, in his short tenure, has always been for raising taxes, promoting entitlements, and changing the constitution to provide rather than protect. I love this country for what it is and what it was founded for and I will never support someone that sees those things as inherently "flawed" (his own words).
Why was this recommendation so late?
I hope you are right. I am fearful of a lurch to the left from which it may take generations to recover, especially if Obama selects social-engineering activist judges to the Supreme Court. I want someone who can unite the left and right of this great country. I don't see Obama doing that unless he moves more to center. But McCain is only the lesser of two evils, IMO. I'm not thrilled with either candidate.
You said, 'Obama has campaigned with more style, intelligence and discipline than his opponent.' Sounds like an Economist reader to me.
Bravo, Economist. I read your paper because I consider myself a libertarian on many issues, and enjoy how you take that worldview and apply it to just about anything. However, I sometimes worry that you are too dogmatic in your (neo-liberal) economic views; every now, and then, however, you surprise me with your pragmatism.The bigger issue here, as many other commentators have pointed out, is the worrying labels being thrown around during this election. McCain is a capitalist; Obama is a socialist. Well, this is a red herring is there ever was one. Do you consider Sweden a capitalist country? What about Denmark? These countries are some of the easiest places in the world in which to start a new business. They are also some of the most open economies in the world, measured as imports/exports as a percentage of GDP. Not surprisingly, they are amongst the richest countries in the world as well.But they also have the highest tax rates in the world, and are happy to call themselves socialists. People do not pay for healthcare, and - get this - they are paid to go to school. Not surprisingly, Danes and Swedes are amongst the happiest people in the world.Yes, capitalism and socialism are fully compatible. In fact, if you consider "individual freedom" the most important trait in a society, arguably socialism is the only way to go - because there is no freedom in poverty. In reality, to be fully free you need a minimum level of income to ensure that you can get an education, etc. This requires certain level of social equality. I'm not a communist, but I do consider myself a libertarian social-democrat (or socialist, if you insist.)I truly wish I was American, so I could vote in this election. Now stop throwing around silly labels...and go Obama!
It is a bit odd that the Economist would recommend we "take a chance" that this candidate is something other than what every aspect of his background - hidden and limited by his handlers to a bizarre degree - indicates that he is:
- a trade protectionist,
- a socialist,
- a hard-left partisan of the first order,
- completely ignorant of foreign policy,
- completely ignorant of military matters and history, and seemingly antagonistic toward the military.
As with other traditionally responsible publications who have radically changed their philosophy for this candidate, one wonders why? Why this candidate?
No answers are apparent in your endorsement.
"America should take a chance..."
End of discussion.
Obama is a great guy. That is not enough.He's got zero executive experience. Thats a fact. How in the world can we trust a President who has no executive track record ?
Vote well. Its not the Lottery.
Hadji$ said 'To compare GWB to Barack Obama is absolute blasphemy! Comparing a spoon fed, coke blowing, would-be-if-he-weren't-a-bush Yale dropout'1.) bush finished yale and has an MBA from harvard. but he could definitely be a legacy.2.) re: 'coke blowing' please read obama's book. he and dubya share that same 'coke blowing' experience.another similarity.inexperienced president (bush) with highly experienced powerful vice president (cheney). the u.s. senate will be fillerbuster proof. the democrats will have carte blanche to 1.) roll back NAFTA 2.) institute trade tariffs 3.) raise taxes on corporations 4.) raise personal income tax in the middle of a recession on those who make enough money to spend it during a recession (thereby helping out brick and mortar and online shops)
i felt happy with your choices and respectful analysis.what i said is always there are risks.we can't avoid those risks as a human being and the economist chooses a calculated risk.someone can't have an experience while borned but also there are those who can perform well with out the required experience.in the course of history we should not drop those respectful and charismatic people.i strongly belive Obama belongs there.you have made the right choice and 'll wait till the Amercans make their judgement.
I find it hard to understand this magazine's wholehearted endorsement of the man who has run a campaign that has been "wholeheartedly" a platform of anit-capitalism. He represents a party that endorses windfall profits taxes, unconscionable subsidies, protectionism, and the welfare state. While the Republican party is nearly as shameless as the Democrats, at least John McCain has shown that he will fight his own party when they are wrong. You tell us to take a gamble on Obama, hoping that he will break his history of towing the party line and move to the center. That is a gamble I don't care to take with the fate of my country.
Also, the idea that because Obama has run a better campaign than McCain makes him deserving of the Presidency shows a complete lack of conviction on your part. Being right is a virtue unto itself, one Mr. Obama lacks.
Thank you for your thoughtful and, given your conservative editorial base, what I consider brave endorsement. One thing many people seem to forget about democracy is that it works best when there are many different ideas in the mix. I am a liberal who greatly enjoys reading your journal because it presents an intelligently written other view of the world. Threatening to never again read the Economist because this article runs counter to one's beliefs is childish and shallow. Thank you again for your endorsement. And, if you had endorsed McCain, I would still read your publication!

Low AMH Anti-müllerian hormone low levels - help
Check out these two threads:
Try not to get too down about ONE hormone level. Your total fertility is based on so many factors....
Look at me... I have an AMH of .08... Yep point-oh-eight.
And I am pregnant!
It can happen. You may have fewer eggs, and you may respond poorly to fertility meds, but you never know until you try! Are you TTC #1?
Good luck :)

Mine is 0.16 and I freaked out too. But, it turns out I am a high responder to the meds and am producing a lot of eggs with them. I am also taking DHEA which you might want to discuss with your RE. From what I have seen here, your level is not bad at all!
Most people on these boards discuss AMH in terms of ng/mL. At 3.7 pmol/L your AMH level in ng/mL is somewhere b/w 0.3 - 2.2. The ranges look like this:
Ovarian Fertility Potential pmol/L ng/mL
Optimal Fertility 28.6 - 48.5 4.0 - 6.8
Satisfactory Fertility 15.7 - 28.6 2.2 - 4.0
Low Fertility 2.2 - 15.7 0.3 - 2.2
Very Low / undetectable 0.0 - 2.2 0.0 - 0.3
High Level > 48.5 > 6.8

Hi ladies
Thanks for all your responses to this. I had a complete freak-out after posting this and made an appointment with a (reportedly) really good fertility expert. But the earliest I could get was mid December so I decided for my sanity I had to stop looking at anything to do with AMH and TTC. I'm counting the days until my appointment but your advice and kind words have really helped.
Good luck to everyone!

Health professionals for students' needs
Re "EpiPen fight pits politics against kids' safety" (Editorials, April 4): As a parent of a public school student with a life-threatening allergy who carries an EpiPen, and as a 20-year high school teacher who witnessed many epileptic seizures, I am aware of the shortcomings of Sen. Bob Huff's legislation, Senate Bill 1266.
The women and men who work in our schools know what students need to be healthy and to be academically successful. That's why the California Federation of Teachers is sponsoring, along with Assemblyman Richard Pan, Assembly Bill 1955, "Healthy Kids, Healthy Minds," to ensure that students in our neediest communities have a full-time nurse, mental health professional and open libraries before and after school.
Huff's legislation goes in the wrong direction, relying on teacher volunteers, rather than putting essential resources into our schools, particularly for kids with the greatest needs. Our students deserve better, and our state has the resources to make this happen.
-- Joshua Pechthalt, California Federation of Teachers president, Burbank

If a democracy is the ultimate expression of the will of the people then why is it okay for a minority of people in California to overturn the majority of those who just voted for Proposition 8?
If a majority vote is the final measure of an election then why is it justified for a minority in Wisconsin to ignore the will of the majority who just won?
How about this: If over 70% of the voters in Oklahoma approved State Question 755 then how can one U.S. District Judge ignore these people and tell them that Sharia and/or international law can supersede the democratically approved constitution that this same judge has pledged to honor and uphold?
Finally, how is it constitutional for a President who has taken an oath of office to defend the U.S. Constitution to unilaterally decide that he will not defend the constitutionally ratified DOMA nor uphold it as law?
John Adams told us that we are "a nation of laws and not of men" and by this he warned of the corruptions endemic in the rule of those who fancied themselves as above the law and above other men. Adams knew human beings are an arrogant and sinful bunch. He knew that if we are left unchecked by the rule of law – the laws of nature and nature's God – that we always digress into one of two extremes: Either the anarchy of the gang or the oligarchy of the elites.
Without law there is no liberty and without morality the majority never wins. Because there will always be a mob in Madison willing to ignore the vote of the people and there will always be a man in Washington willing declare himself king.
