Djokovic "Feels The Love" In Shanghai
Shanghai, China
by ATP Staff|
Love and smile.
"Two things that I love the most I have written on the camera after the match," Novak Djokovic said following his victory over Juan Martin del Potro in Sunday's final of the Shanghai Rolex Masters.
In securing a second consecutive Beijing-Shanghai double, Novak Djokovic exhibited his appreciation for the Chinese crowd by signing these two simple yet poignant characters on the on-court camera lens. Synonymous with Djokovic's unrelenting passion for the game, the Serb embodies the concepts they represent.
"My motivation is always there, especially when I'm playing finals of such a big event. I want this title as much as my opponent. That's going to stay forever."
A perfect 20-0 on Chinese soil in two years, Djokovic acknowledges the fan support and 'love' from his Chinese supporters as being a significant catalyst to his success. "We both had big fan support. Being able to play in this kind of atmosphere is really a pleasure.
"What I'm impressed the most with is the appreciation that they have in really being able to come every single day in front of the hotel, morning and evening, and wait for you, wish you luck, welcome you. For me that's unusual because I don't get to experience that in the other tournaments. I really respect that a lot and I feel the love, and try to return that as well."
Watch Djokovic Final Interview
After three consecutive tight meetings with Del Potro in 2013, including riveting battles in Indian Wells and Wimbledon, the Serb had nothing but high praise for his opponent. Djokovic believes he has the potential to challenge for Grand Slam titles soon.
"No doubt about it. Since his first Grand Slam title in 2009, we all knew he has the caliber to be a top tennis player and always a contender to win any Grand Slam he plays in. With his serve and his game, for his height, he moves extremely well. He uses the court very good. He has very good anticipation. He's really mentally strong."
Djokovic returns to Paris in two weeks for the final ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event of the year, the BNP Paribas Masters, before embarking on his quest to repeat at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, his seventh straight appearance at the season finale.

You Might Be an RVer If...Submitted by Rob Ballister on May 27, 2012 - 08:50
Title: You Might Be An RVer If...
Author: Thomas Van Hees
Genre: Humor
Reviewer: Rob Ballister
ISBN (links go to the MWSA Amazon store): 1462625657
Every RVer started out in a tent in the wilds of this great nation even if it was only in in their own backyard. As RVers, we endure the difficulties of the camping and RVing because we love it and would have it no other way, regardless of the outcome. Besides the worst camping and RVing experience is better than the best day at work! Why do we do this? Because we are RVers and we are nuts!

The George P. Mitchell Memorial
Wortham, McGovern & Friends Challenge
George Mitchell offered his assistance to GHF with an annual challenge gift almost ten years ago. It was a great way for him to lead us each year in our efforts to raise operating funds. His idea was that one gift could be doubled whether it was ten dollars or one thousand. Earlier this year, Mr. Mitchell passed away leaving a wonderful preservation legacy on Galveston Island as well as years of support for the projects and efforts of GHF. We need your support to help us raise $150,000 by March 2014. We hope you can join us this year as we honor George and Cynthia Mitchell's preservation vision and investments in historic Galveston.
Your gift will help Galveston Historical Foundation continue its mission to preserve and revitalize the architectural, cultural, and maritime heritage of Galveston Island for the education and enrichment of all.

Nando's Restaurants in Derby are planning a 900 mile static bike ride for Sport Relief on Thursday – and a selection of Derbyshire first team players helped them launch the initiative.
The figure of 900 miles was arrived upon to match the distance between Derby and Portugal, home of Nando's.
The event will be hosted in the Market Place Restaurant in the Cathedral Quarter from 11am on Thursday 22nd March until 6pm; and will continue on the following day at 10am until they achieve the 900 mile goal.
The event has received a great deal of interest from the Cathedral Quarter and other local businesses, particularly from Derby LA Fitness who have supplied the bikes.
Nando's are inviting teams of between one and five people to come along and bike some of the journey. With a team prize draw at stake; the only request is that each team can raise a minimum of £15 sponsorship and that each volunteer is fit and well enough to take part.
The restaurant will be offering special promotions on the day to entice visitors and customers to take part. Everyone is welcome whether you wish to volunteer to bike a few miles or simply make a donation to support a worthy cause.
All donations can be made online at www.sportrelief.com/sponsor/barcifunride
Pictured above: Derbyshire players (left to right) Mark Turner, Ross Whiteley, Chesney Hughes, Tom Poynton and Garry Park join members of the Nando's team to promote the market square event.

|Property type
You can check these apartment hotel by contacting the owner. Please only reservation request, no phone call. As we have 4 buildings in istanbul, it is hard and not succifent to communicate on phone, we surely ll respond you with all details via e-mail in maximum 2-3 hours.'
Each apartments has a/c in all bedrooms and living rooms and moreover there re 2 full bathrooms in apartments.
Taksim bomonti vip apartments, are located in the best part of taksim neighbourhood, which is just 2-3 minutes walk to metro station and also 15 minutes walk to taksim square and istiklal avenue. There re all best cafes and restaurants and fashionable shops around of the apartment and neighbourhood. It is also just 4-5 minutes walk from famous nisantasi as well.
Decoration of the apartments are fascinating, we used best quality equipments for these apartments and everything is new and best quality.
There re 4 pieces apartments in this building. Each apartment has 3 bedrooms with same decoration. First bedroom has double bed, second bedroom has two single beds and thirth bedroom has double bed as well. Living room has double sofa-bed and moreover, we are able to open extra single beds as well.
There is nice and big living room with dinning area. And also very big hall like a second living room as well.
Moreover, there is also a big hole like 4th bedroom, it is good for extra beds and lots of luggages as storage for our guests.
We invite you to stay in the best apartments of istanbul in best location!!
There is periodic cleaning as it is fixed for all our apartments..
We (Thomasay Co) purchased and decorated this historical and very central building on 2012 and prepared for daily rentals for our guests in Istanbul. It is really the best thing to deal with the holidayers to get more good memories and share the life with them.
Aykut Anil purchased this apartment in 2012
Taksim Bomonti VIP Apartments is a multiple apartments building, located in very good point of center - so we thought that it would be good choice for guests as they might even stay upto 9 people stay comfortably in our 3 bedrrom 2 bathroom apartments.
3 bedrroms, 2 bathrooms, balcony, being in center, when you are around 5 or more it becomes very budget.
From check-in to check-out, I was blown away by the hospitality, great atmosphere, and kindness of the staff. The location is great.
The service, even before we arrived was welcoming, informative and really helpful. The service during our stay was consistently good from all the staff.
Mr.Aykut hosted us during january in his nice apartment building and it was really nice.
He even took us with his car for bosphorus tour and we really enjoyed.
Also apartment was muchly enough and exactly same as on photos.
Muchly liked.
Clean good quality excellent location and friendly staff
We have stayed 6 nights at Taksim bomonti vip apartments and it was nice to spend time there. As location it is very central, just 3 minutes walk from metro station but we mainly walked to Taksim Square or at nights take a taxi, it is easier and cheaper as well.
Apartment is very nice and also useful decorated, we were 8 people totally and worried in the beginning if we could have comfort, however it was well enough. 6 people can sleep in the beds in bedrooms and in the living room there is a double sofa bed and also as we were 8 people we requested extra single bed, so it was even enough for 9 people.
Maybe if there would be breakfast service it would be even better, because i really dont like to prepare breakfast in the mornings, however my family always prefer to have breakfast in the home :(
Anyway, it was nice and staff was helpfull for touristic tips as well. I can recommend this unit for especially families and groups whom stay crowded.
Filthy, Unfriendly and not helpful staff. Horrible Location.
I hate giving bad reviews but I want to save anyone from booking this place. I completely understand someone not being able to speak English but when you are booking your apartment to tourists, you need to have a way to communicate with them. We were a family of 8 staying here and together we knew a total of 5 different languages and still were not able to communicate with the lady that let us into the apartment. The listing says there is room for 10 but when we arrived there was only room for 6, the sofa is not a pull out couch and we had to have a roll away brought into the living room and still one of us had to sleep on the couch. There is only enough beds for 6 people and good luck trying to communicate that you need another bed if you have more in your group. The beds only had a sheet over the mattress and a decorative throw at the foot of the bed. We were only able to find dirty duvets in the closets to use as covers. No towels in any of the bathrooms so another 10 minutes of miming with the lady resulted in one towel for each of us, forget about the hand towels in the bathrooms. Then came the miming for toilet paper. There was only 1/2 a roll in each of the 2 bathrooms, then soap and the list goes on for all the basic things that we had to ask for that should have already been provided for us. The pictures are deceiving, the apartment is not taken care of or cleaned and was incredibly dirty the moment we walked in. The location is terrible as it is not a 15 minute walk to Taksim square it's more a like 15 minute cab ride. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else, you will be happy you did.

Indian vendors of mobile content are displeased with their take of the revenues, which comes in at an average of 40 percent but could be as low as 15-30 percent, although it is slowly getting better. The general impression of this Business Standard article is that although the revenue shares in India are small compared to Western countries, it?s still a promising business to be in because of the promising potential for growth?and the revenue shares may work themselves out over time. ?We have to allow now the market to decide for us the revenue shares. The usage of VAS is still evolving in India. But nothing should stop us from being three times the size in the coming years,? feels Manoj Dawane, CEO, Mauj.?
The Indonesian mobile content market is doing well, as ?the rapid rise in the number of mobile content users had encouraged the establishment of some 200 content providers as of the first quarter, a 7 percent rise from the same quarter of 2006? according to the Jakarta Post. The article quotes Hugo Diba of Iguana as saying that the Indonesian mobile content market is dominated by local players, and music accounts for 75 percent of the total content bought by consumers. However the non-music 3G mobile content market is dominated by foreign players.
The number of mobile subscribers in Japan is expected to grow from 96.7 million at the beginning of this year to 107.3 million by the end of 2010, estimates ROA Group in this Cellular News article.
The number of mobile handsets shipped in China will grow nearly 22 percent this year to hit 558 million units in 2007, predicts Chinese research and analysis firm Market Intelligence Center (MIC). Of this, international phone manufacturers will account for 340 million units reports Wireless Week. ?In 2006 the total handset shipments increased nearly 54 percent to 457.6 million units, up from 298.0 million units in 2005.?

The multi-Grammy Award nominees of TLC kicked off the second leg of their "Fanmail" tour last Friday in Anaheim, California, along with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' protegees Blaque and fellow Grammy nominee Christina Aguilera.
The trio's tour last fall suffered from sluggish sales, poor promotion, and intra-group strife. Chilli and T-Boz accused Left Eye of not caring about the group as a whole, and Left Eye fired right back, fueling rumors that the group was on the verge of a breakup.
MTV News' Chris Connelly caught up with TLC in Oakland on the second date of the tour and got the lowdown.
"I have never, ever said that I was leaving this group, you know,"
Left Eye told MTV News. "So I'd just like to reiterate… and let everyone know that even if we do fight, even if we can't stand each other, it's a good business move just to stay in the group, if anything, you know? But yeah, TLC forever.
I mean, I can do a solo project, ten solo projects, but it doesn't make any sense to leave this group." [RealVideo]
Enjoying the ride on tour with the now-harmonious women of TLC is pop vixen Aguilera, who will also take some time off next month to attend the Grammy Awards ceremony on February 23.
The singer is up for two awards, including Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She spoke to Chris Connelly backstage at the tour and talked about how she dreamed about one of these nominations in particular when she was growing up.
"Best New Artist was the category that I would always single out as being, like, my dream nomination,"
Aguilera told Connelly. "It showed that, 'Oh, you're the newcomer. You're fresh.'… It was the one, you know? I watched Mariah [Carey] win it one year, and I was like [sighing]. I'm a huge Mariah fan, of course. [There's] just that something
about it, and so it's kind of a dream come true." [RealVideo]
In addition to her duties for TLC and the Grammy Awards, Aguilera will perform in a star-studded lineup that includes Enrique Iglesias and Toni Braxton at Super Bowl XXXIV on January 30. Following that, she'll be joining Lou Bega and MTV's own Carson Daly for the 49th Annual Miss USA Pageant on February 4 (see "Christina Aguilera, Lou Bega To Perform At Miss USA Pageant").
You can see more from the TLC tour on this week's edition of "MTV News 1515″ airing Friday night at 8:00 p.m. (ET). You can also check out the MTV News Online feature "TLC & Christina Aguilera: Together On Tour," which also debuts Friday evening.

Oregon Campaign Collects 37,211 Signatures in the First 10 Days
August 6, 2013 by Trevor Chandler, Associate Regional Field Director
Demolishing our goal of 10,000 signatures in the first ten days, Oregon Says I Do, a branch of Oregon United for Marriage, announced today that we collected almost 4 times that goal. We actually achieved 10,000 in the first 72 hours and had to double our goal to 20,000.
That means in just the first ten days, we collected a third of the 116,248 signatures needed to qualify and put a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would strike anti-LGBT language out of the state constitution and allow for marriage equality.
We will have to collect many more than that to ensure we have enough valid signatures to qualify, but if the incredible outpouring of support these last ten days are any indication, we are well on our way to getting the number we need.
Trevor Chandler is a Senior Regional Field Organizer with HRC, he is on the ground for the duration of the campaign working with the team at OUM to secure marriage equality for all Oregonians.

Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB OC Video Card in CrossFireWith a pair of dual fan OC Radeon HD 7950's from Sapphire, we find out how CrossFire performance goes on the new model.
AMD Radeon HD 7950 CrossFire was one setup that I found myself really excited to test, with what we've seen so far from the single HD 7950 in terms of the pre-overclocked XFX offering, reference clocked HIS offering along with the reference AMD model heavily overclocked.
The big issue we knew we would run into at the launch of the HD 7950 was getting two cards that would carry the same cooler because AMD had given its partners the chance to do whatever they wanted when it came to the fan this time around.
Thanks to Sapphire, though, we had the opportunity to get a pair of HD 7950s that we knew would carry the same cooler making it the perfect setup for CrossFire testing. Since we haven't looked at these cards yet the first thing we need to do is check out the package.
Once we've checked out the package we'll move onto the card, check out the specifications of these overclocked cards, have a quick look at our testbed and then of course get into the performance side of things to see just how this setup scales.
The Package
Getting into the bundle there's not much different when it comes to the paperwork side of things, what does stand out is the selection of cables, an area that is lacking from a lot of companies recently.
Looking above, though, you can see we've got a pair of Molex to 6-Pin PCIe power convertors, HDMI cable, HDMI to DVI, MiniDP to DP, CrossFire bridge and DVI to VGA.

Why are the UAE and Iran squaring up over an island which measures just about 12 square kilometers, almost 350 times smaller than the emirate of Dubai?
August 31, 2008 11:59 by kippreport
The UAE has recently sent a complaint to the UN, about Iran's reported establishment of facilities on the island of Abu Musa. In a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the UAE claimed that Iran was continuing to violate an agreement signed between the two sides in 1971. Tehran has reportedly established a maritime rescue office and an office for the registration of ships and sailors on the island, which the UAE lays claim to.
International documents show that three islands, which were historically owned by Iran, temporarily fell to British control in 1903. When British forces left the Gulf in 1971, Iran took possession of Greater and Lesser Tunbs, while Abu Musa, the only inhabited island, was placed under joint administration under a deal with Sharjah, now part of the UAE.
Iran has repeatedly dismissed the UAE claims over Abu Musa, stressing its ownership over the islands are indisputable. Iran's Foreign Ministry said in mid-August that that they are open to talks with the UAE to remove any misunderstanding about the islands.
So what value does the island hold?
The island is valued by these two countries for economic, security, and environmental reasons, according research from the American University in Washington. One significant feature about the island is that it is potentially full of oil reserves. Also, the island is located in the Strait of Hormuz, the mouth of the Arabian Gulf. This strategic position could allow a country to influence the Gulf's shipping lane.
But there are also environmental concerns associated with Abu Musa. If there were to be an oil spill on or around this island, it could have consequences on the environment and the nearby animal life.
The UAE enjoys major Arab backing in the dispute. The GCC has strongly denounced Iran's move, saying the islands belong to the UAE and are being occupied by Iran.
But tension between the two countries will not spell well for either nation.
According to reports, Iranian investment in Dubai reaches about $14bn each year, and an estimated 450,000 Iranians live in the UAE.

Since When the Persian Gulf has become Arabian Gulf????
Since I was in Grade 3 20 years ago.
since forever, only if you know history of your own land you would know that Iran had non to do with the gulf, since the great islamic empair back in the 700's. persians are exactly what they are, Cats and cats scared of water. 90% of the population live along the coast of the gulf are know as Arab of Persia
read some history before you speak up Omid
HAHAHA! Oh this is so funny, really. Come on, lay into each other some more!
By the way, how many UAE nationals do you think are of Iranian origin? Many, I can tell you. After all, are names such as Gargash, Futtaim more Arabic or Persian? What do you think? (rhetorical question this one, old Sport. Ask a few Arabs if you're not sure).
hopefully iran and obamas us can get closer and someday become friends again….then iran can not only take back all of Abu Musa, but also Bahrain and while we are at it we can ban the PERSIAN Gulf from being called the Arabian Gulf. hell lets rename the arabian sea to the Arabian sea.
"and an estimated 450,000 Iranians live in the UAE."
Wow, Why is that, is Iran a real dump?
Why is the Middle East attracting Japan?

A lot of colors and smells in the souks. You have to bargain a lot for the price because the prices for tourists are heavily inflated. So take your time to look around and make sure you get the best price. If unhappy just turn around and leave and they will most probably ask you to come back and sell you the staff for the price you want. A lot of fun to "play" with the local merchants. It is gret fun to get lost in the souk.

Xandros 2.5 Business Edition: A Windows Killer? 23
from the have-sling-will-travel dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Why would anyone need *both* StarOffice and Crossover ?
I went to the Xandros site thinking "Hey! Another distro to try. Time to grab an ISO!" Sadly, the download section of their site is relagated to the "About" [xandros.com] page and they charge for the download... Except for the "Open Circulation" edition which has few [xandros.com] of the features advertised here (It doesn't even come with Mozilla and has crippled CD burning software) The only edition to have all of this "killer" tech is the business edition for a $129 download fee (you get some books and some closed source-ware too).
Given the price, this doesn't look so "killer" anymore. In fact, it looks a bit over-priced. I may fork over $100 for a nice SuSE boxed edition, but I still have the opportunity to run the full distro for free if I take the time to download it instead. If I'm forced to pay $129 for a distro, why not just go pick up XP Home? What, if any, is the incentive for people to switch then? To pay one greedy company over another? Has anyone tried the "Open Circulation" edition that thinks the full version would be worth the cash?
If I'm forced to pay $129 for a distro, why not just go pick up XP Home?
Simply because XP Home won't be able to connect to the Active Directory and is not SMP-capable are two good reasons.
Also, you have not even considered what kinds of discounts would be given in volume. After all, do you know what it costs for even the Volume Licensing versions of Windows XP Professional?

Faux Pumpkin
I am told that most store-bought canned punpkin is not really pumkin, but a variety of squash. I want to buy some seeds of this squash. Can anyone out there tell us what the name of this squash is, and perhaps where seeds can be bought? The only name I have come up with so far is "Kershaw Squash"; however I can't even get a google hit on it.
Now, I would never have guessed that there might be a squash hiding in there!
I'll have to read the ingredients on the next can of pumpkin I buy.
I think you might be looking for cushaw melon, or crenshaw squash. Personally, I prefer Hubbard for baking or making pies.
Try looking for what is called actually a varity of names Neck Pumpkin - Squash or Melon Squash. If you can't find the seed without a lot of trouble, I would be glad to mail you a packet if you pay for the postage and want to this. ~Liz~
Hi I think what you are looking for is the "Neck Pumpkin" a moschata type sometimes "Melon Squash". I've read two places that this is what is used for commercial pumpkin production. I've grown it in West Virginia and highly recommend it. It tastes sweeter than traditional pumpkin, is a deeper orange, very smooth, VERY productive, open pollinated, and vigorous (takes a lot of space). I have had very little disease and insect problems compared to other pumpkins. You can use it in any pumpkin recipe.
Libby's uses the Dickinson (C. moschata) acording to which source you called up, they process 85- 90% of the canned pumpkin sold. Cushaws (C. Mixta) have been used, as have the Cheese pumpkins (C. moschata). Note that pumpkin is used for some squash, but they are all squash including the Halloween types. Other than the round orange things, there does not seem to be much rhyme or reason why some are called pumpkins and others winter squash. Last time I checked Sandhill Preservation has the Dickinson.

My grandmother used to make Kershaw all the time. It was my favorite!!! I love it with crowder peas. I know the two seem an unlikely pair but for some reason she made the two together and I eat them the same way even today.
She cut the squash up into cubes and simmered them untill soft and added sugar, butter and cinnamon. I add a little pumpkin spice usually when I make it. I like it almost all mushed up to get the flavor all the way thru.
Someone wrote that they are aggresive.... YES they are so give them room!
Good Luck

Protection against Stink bugs and Japanese Beetles
I am looking for a way to protect my corn against stink bugs and my beans against japanese beetles. Has anyone tried covering the taller plants with a garden fabric using PVC pipes as a frame? I would assume that corn would still pollinate but what about the Beans?
Since Japanese beetles live their nymph stages in the ground, I'm not sure this would help. Wouldn't they just come up into the plants from underground as they matured?
I'm also looking at ways to keep stink bugs and Japanese beetles out of my strawberries and apples. I have been looking into companion plants. Apparently certain plants (chives, garlic, onions, etc.) tend to repel at least some of the beetles. Not enough to eliminate them, but enough to at least reduce the problem somewhat.
In the 1980's there was a Japanese trap available at the garden centers. It had a scent thingey in it to attract the males. It worked really well. We had to dump the dead beetles once a week. It really stunk, but it kept them off of the roses. This was in Pa.
Every source I've ever seen has warned against using pheromone or other types of traps to attract and trap the Japanese beetles. The problem is that they attract a bunch of the beetles, but only trap some of them. The rest leave you with an even worse problem than you would have had without the trap.
Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese Beetle Traps -- Do Japanese Beetle Traps Work?
unconventional but works for me on jap beetles. I have a roundup ready invasive vine that I spend hours clearing from fence lines, fruit trees, and lilacs. last year I noticed that the ones I missed were covered with beetles and the roses and fruit 10' away had virtualy none. I made a note where they were and sprayed with 7. This year I left a few in easy places to spray and did not have to spray my fruit.(for beetles). The vine is small, about 1/4" the leaves are the same size and color as apple.A different shape but not so you see them on a quick drive by. It is raining hard today I will try to find on line. I have never seen it in the woods so I don't think it is native.
Most effective control for both I have found - Surround. It is kaloin clay, organic, and quite effective when used per label directions.
Doesn't look great on the garden as it gives a gray cast to everything but I sure would rather have the benefits it provides than a showplace garden.
Dave: I have heard from some on GW that it's hard to wash the clay off when using Surround. I discovered toward the end of the season last summer that a lot of my peppers and tomatoes had been attacked by stink bugs. I didn't realize it until September because a family emergency kept me from paying adequate attention to my garden for about six weeks. My plants had impressive yields, but the tomatoes had spots and the peppers were corky at the stem end. All were edible, but kept growing smaller fruits than normal as the season progressed. This winter, we have found quite a few stink bugs in my house. So I realize they are here waiting for next season.
I don't want to have to peel tomatoes and peppers before eating. If you used it, did you have a problem washing the kaolin off?
have a problem washing the kaolin off?
Not at all. Takes a few minutes soaking before rinsing. In other words, more than just a quick dash under the faucet but then that isn't really enough for anything.
A simple vegetable brush gets any in the crevices but you core the tomatoes and peppers anyway so that is no problem.
And since kaolin is already used in many products we use daily (like toothpaste and medications) you already do ingest some of it with no problems. Not that I am advocating eating it. :)
The active ingredient in AzaGard is azadirachtin which comes from Neem Oil. There have been mixed reports about its effectiveness against stink bugs. It appears to be most effective against them in the nymph stage, but it needs to come into direct contact with them to kill. How many stink bug nymphs did you see in your garden? I didn't even see the bugs themselves, but I did see extensive damage on my tomatoes and peppers at harvest. If you can't find them, you can't kill them.
An organic insecticide that is supposed to be a little more effective against them is pyrethrin. There are also traps that work like Japanese beetle traps, but if you look at the reviews they get on Amazon.com, you can see that most people didn't think they were effective.
The problem is that contact insecticides are not effective because of the bugs have hard coats, and they feed by piercing the skin of the fruit or vegetable, so they avoid most of the insecticide on the surface. They feed on so many different kinds of plants that you would need to treat everything in your garden to begin to make a dent. It sounds like the most effective control for home gardeners is growing trap crops (like okra or amaranth), using row covers and, from what Dave says, using a kaolin clay product like Surround.
Thanks for all the input.
Dave, thanks for the Kaolin advice. I have a ton of the stuff and I've used it on cukes to stop the cucumber beetles. Will try it elsewhere and see what happens. Any idea of whether it inhibits corn pollination?
Last year I spent every evening killing 1000's of the two types of beetles.

Item Found: Coin

Metal Detector Used: Other (800-0284-LSP)
September 15th, 2008
Here is a bit of my collection I have labeled "Over the Years". I hope you can use it somehow. "Over the Years"... I have relied on White's to help me find things, I often dreamed about when I was a kid. Starting out with the Coinmaster V Supreme, I was fortunate enough to locate thousands of great relics and coins.
But my best finds have definitely come from my DFX. No other machine has delivered the versatility that the New England soil demands. Here's is a slice of some of my better coins and tokens found. Whether it's a half cent or a half dollar, the DFX has always come through for me. Thanks for building such a great machine.

Any excitement I could muster for the PS4 announcement is deflated by the unknown that represents the next Xbox. Why build myself into a flurry when I don't even know why I should, because Microsoft could come out swinging just as hard.
Or that regardless of past loyalties Sony shoved me out of their ecosystem over the course of this console generation. I hardly know anyone with a PS3 let alone extremely active on one. No matter how much the appeal of the PS4 to me if none of my friends move to it away from Xbox then literally what is the point in me doing so? Sony's big push is social.
The known quantities of announcing a new Killzone and inFamous are not entirely follies. inFamous 1&2 were some of my favorites on the PS3. A third entry would while not be a system seller for me be a guaranteed purchase if I did. And Killzone is Sony's closest thing to a Halo they have. Its not as good or as popular. But it could be and should be.
The world building they do is almost SNES like in that the ancillary info on their website paints a unique and interesting story of which 0% is in the games. Plus they are fun to a point. It would only take Guerrilla saying that they've completely gotten rid of how the past two games controlled and I'd be on-board totally with that game. Because from a gameplay perspective the way GG has been totally up their own ass with the sense of weight and in-put latency with the controls was about the only major negative. Which was the death nail for a shooter.

Nikki Sixx and wife Courtney Bingham announce there is a baby on the way
Radar Online — Married life rocks! More than four months after saying "I do," Mötley Crüebassist Nikki Sixx and his new wife,HOW2GIRL Courtney Bingham, are more in love than ever — and Bingham tells RadarOnline.com that they're even planning on having a little rockstar of their own in the very near future!
Recent photos of Bingham in tears sparked speculation there was trouble in paradise, but Bingham insists her husband only makes her smile.
"Married life is everything I dreamed it would be," the HOW2GIRL lifestyle guru told Radar exclusively. "I still wake up and pinch myself every day when I see my husband. He then surprises me with lovely flowers and shows me the appreciation that anyone would want from a true gentleman. I am literally living my dream."
In fact, as soon as Sixx, 55, is done with Mötley Crüe's current tour, the two are planning of having a baby, which will be the first child for Bingham, 28.
"Something great is coming to an end but new things are around the corner," Bingham gushed. "When the tour is over we intend to have a little rocker of our own! I am so excited to have my first baby with the love of my life."
The couple will have plenty of space for a family in their brand new Californiahome, which they moved into this week. Bingham tells Radar, "We are very excited for the move into our dream home this week. I am decorating it with my HOW2GIRL expertise. Think Ralph Lauren meets Rockstar!"
This is the third marriage for Sixx, who has three kids with ex-wife Brandi Brandt: Storm Breanne Sixx, 20, Gunner Nicholas Sixx, 23, and Decker Nilsson Sixx, 19. He also has a daughter with his Baywatch star ex-wifeDonna D'Errico, Frankie-Jean Mary Sixx, 13.

Companies struggle to popularize mobile moneyMarch 1, 2013 1:03 pm | by The Associated Press | News | Comments
Even people who work in the mobile phone industry passed up the opportunity to use their phones to get into the Mobile World Congress using their smartphones because it was just too much of a hassle to set up the capability. It's a poor omen for an industry that's eager to have the cellphone replace both tickets and credit cards.


text:
I want to match a product number (column 1) and a year (column 2) for Country A with the same product and year for Country B to be able to subtract the corresponding trade numbers (column 3 minus column 6) for the countries in that year and in that product. When no counterpart is found I want that post to be thrown out.
In the example in the link below I have manually done this until row 22 (except subtracting the trade figures). The row below (23) for instance says that product 030420 was traded in 1995 at value 2.823, but no trade in that product in that year is recorded in country B, so that post I want deleted. Correspondingly, in Country B, trade of product 030420 is recorded in 1994, but there is no counterpart in country A, so that post also should be deleted.
Even though the data in the example below is shown in excel (I tried to solve this in excel but it got tricky) I now have the data stored in a matrix in Matlab and want to write a code for it, but I'm quite new to Matlab/coding. In words it might be something like:
- IF first entry in column 1 = any entry in column 4
- then also IF first entry in column 2 = any entry in column 5, subtract the trade figure (column 6, wherever it ends up being found) from the first entry in column 3.
- If no match is found I'd like the program to throw out that post as described above.
And then of course repeat the procedure for the rest of the sample.
If anyone feels like reading this shorter essay and have any suggestions it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks Oscar

Downton Abbey's New England Connection
American audiences will have to wait until January before the popular drama, Downton Abbey returns to PBS. Meanwhile, New Hampshire has its own peculiar connection to the masterpiece classic, detailed in a new exhibit at the Porstmouth Athenaeum. Downton Abbey: The Porstmouth Connection profiles the life of Catherine Wendell and Castle Highclere, around which Downton Abbey is loosely based. Ronan Donahoe is curating the exhibit, and has spent ages cataloging more than eighty boxes pictures and correspondence donated to the Athenaeum by the Wendell family and he joins us today.
