In his #1 New York Times bestselling book, Zero to One, Peter Thiel presents his often contrarian ideas about competition, progress, technology, and finding value in unexpected placesto build a future that we have yet to dream, but that may someday become reality. In Developing the Developed World he brings these ideas to life, including his insights on how to create true innovations in the world of atomsnot just digits and bitsand how to foster a peaceful, prosperous and freer future marked by globalization in a world of limited resources.
Peter Thiel is Founder and Managing Member of Clarium Capital Management, LLC; Co-Founder of Paypal, Palantir Technologies, Mithril Capital Management, and Valar Ventures; Managing Partner of Founders Fund; and past President of Thiel Capital International and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Confinity, Inc.

He co-founded PayPal in 1998, led it as CEO, and in 2002 sold it to eBay and founded Clarium Capital Management, a global macro fund. In 2004 he made the first outside investment in Facebook, where he serves as a director. The same year he co-founded Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to empower human analysts in fields like security and global finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, RoboteX, Spotify, and dozens of successful technology startups. He is a co-founder and partner at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. And in 2012 he co-founded Mithril Capital Management, an international technology investment fund.
Mr. Thiel started the Thiel Fellowship, which ignited a national debate by encouraging young people to put learning before schooling, and he leads the Thiel Foundation, which works to advance technological progress and long-term thinking about the future. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, where he received an A.B. in philosophy and a J.D. from the Stanford University School of Law.

Moose on the loose on Lake Bemidji? Someone plays elaborate April Fool's joke
Bemidji motorists were surprised to see an adult moose and a calf on the south end of Lake Bemidji this morning. But were they real, or did someone play an April Fool's joke?
"A customer brought it to our attention about 7 this morning," said Emily Nordstrom, an employee at Dunn Bros Coffee.

Matt Lauer, hmmm
He's been on the news lately.
I used to like him, still kinda sorta.
I haven't read any of the stories, but my radio guy talked about it a bit. Seems like one of the lamestream media latch on to a story and all the others jump on. I've never really watched the guy much. But I did see Anne Curry several times. She was a good news reader but an awful interviewer. I remember one of her interviews was with a mother than had lost a child violence and Anne says "You must be so excited to be here!" ah, I think not!
I don't know about anything else they are talking about hims for.... some say he is not a nice person?
I like him, but I would not be at all surprised to hear he is leaving. It seems that the "powers that be" at NBC work really hard to mess things up sometimes.
It appears that they are grooming the new morning team now. I never did like Ann Curry on the Today show. She is a fantastic reporter and her pieces on the Dateline type shows were good. She just didn't have the right mojo for morning TV,
I'm with you Amy. The longer Matt is on the show the more arrogant he seems to me. I didn't mind Ann Curry. I can't stand the Guthrie chick.
I only watched off and on anyhow, but since they put Guthrie in, I haven't watched it at all.
I don't watch the morning shows anymore. Way too many commercials, and sooo many segments of cooking, cleaning, decorating,, and my biggest turn off.....Hollywood. Entirely too many "stars" put on pedestals and fawned over. Not for me. I stick with HGTV, DIY network, some shows on Discovery channel...
I never watch those morning shows ever, so I have no feel for them. What I do not like abouut news shows, is how the women have to look young, wear tight clothing and be all peppy and the men can just be men, gain weight and go gray if they want. It is all so sexist to me.
People used to accuse Bryant Gumble of being arrogant too. Matt Lauer said in an interview years ago (referring to Bryant, his best friend) that some people confuse intelligence with arrogance. I liked both of them, but haven't watched any of the morning shows in years.
^^ Bryant Gumble WAS arrogant. And probably still is. :o) Lots of stories about him back in the day. Plus, he was instrumental in replacing Jane Pauley with Deborah Norville. And when that move resulted in huge ratings drops, quietly firing Norville while she was on maternity leave. I am not surprised he and Lauer are best friends, they seem to be cut from the same cloth.
I have always thought Matt Lauer was very good looking but he does a commercial that seems very creepy to me. He's hiding behind curtains, under blankets... he looks creepy. It's all good in the end as he is playing hide and seek with a little girl.
He needs to grow his hair out a little but maybe he's balding and a buzz cut looks better. I dunno...
One of the entertainment shows is saying that Savannah Guthrie appeared to be flipping Matt off after some comment he made. I should go look for a video and see if that's true or not.
Neither Katie Couric nor Matt Lauer did anything for me, I think they were over-hyped but obviously their show was successful for a reason - not with me though. I did like Bryant Gumbel.
My New York Magazine arrived this week (this isn't the New Yorker) and Matt Lauer is the cover story. The article is quite lengthy goes into great detail about the Today show with there's a lot of behind the scenes information about the Ann Curry debacle.
Here is a link that might be useful: New York magazine article on Matt Lauer
I prefer the radio in the morning and afternoon....so I don't watch tv at all in the daytime unless it is newsworthy. I never cared for Ann Curry as an interviewer...she made a big mistake one time at a college commencement....and it was reported in the news. .plus remember when she was on Dateline with Stone Phillips...she would stand about a foot away from him....I don't think they liked each other either. I always like Stone Phillips..I definitely don't like Al Roker...he loves himself..........all these interviewers are stuck on themselves IMHO...and make too much money....and very bias.....

Florida Panthers hockey players cheer up kids at Children's hospital
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Hockey was being played in an unlikely setting Monday: a hospital hallway.
The Florida Panthers scored some major points off the ice at the Holiday Hangout for Broward General's Chris Evert Children's Hospital.
Defenseman Ed Jovanovski showed a few patients some moves.
"I have four children and it's always tough coming in and seeing these situations, but if you can put a smile on their face, it makes our day for sure," Jovanovski said.
Two years ago Kareem Rhiman was very sick with an aggressive form of leukemia.
On Monday he enjoyed the opportunity to play with a Panther and said "it's exciting."
It was exciting and emotional for his mother Nafeeza Rhiman, who took pictures from the sidelines.
"It makes me happy and proud to see that he can run around and do the things that he can do now," she said, as tears filled her eyes.
Defenseman Brian Campbell tapped into his artistic talents, sitting at a child-size table working on some holiday decorations.
"I'm sure their days are the same and for us to come here and change it up and add some new faces, hopefully it makes the time go by a little quicker," Campbell said.
Sitting across the table from him was 15-year-old Valentina Londono.
She's been spending a lot of time in the oncology unit.
"I was diagnosed with cancer in February 2011. I got rhabdomyosarcoma stage 4 and my treatments are a year long. I end in March," she said with a smile.
She is getting treatment as an outpatient now, which means she will be home for Christmas.

One of the prime unintended consequences of the new unlimited QE3 announced by the Fed is that it is difficult to know when to reverse course without sending the economy into another, deeper recession?
A preview of the upcoming Census Bureau's upbeat analysis of the economy was met with little enthusiasm and contrasted sharply with reports from FedEx and elsewhere.
When the Federal Reserve announced last week its plan to buy more treasury securities, only a few read the fine print. Many observers envisioned sugar plums dancing in their heads as the Fed's plan would lead, no doubt, to more economic growth, more jobs, more profits, and more stocks to sell on Wall Street. But in fact, unemployment not only hasn't fallen significantly since the start of the Fed's rollouts of Quantitative Easings, but it has remained higher longer than any time since the early 1980s.
If the Fed decides to extend its Operation Twist program beyond the end of the year and into the year 2015, then the math is irrefutable: 40 months of purchases totaling $85 billion a month is $3.4 trillion. The Fed's balance sheet is currently at $2.7 trillion. That brings the Fed's balance sheet, if nothing changes, to a mind-bending $6.1 trillion.
The U.S. tax code is a complex and burdensome maze of rates, exemptions, exclusions, credits, deductions, phase-out levels, and exceptions. People may not agree on anything else, but the nature of the tax code is certainly something that anyone of any political persuasion would agree on.
Everybody knew it was coming. With the economy continuing to founder, it was only a matter of time before Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve decided to turn once again — like the proverbial pig to its wallow — to printing money in a vain attempt to jolt the moribund American economy back to life. As with the first two such feckless efforts, they're dressing this one in fancy verbiage — "quantitative easing" — that fools no one. This third round of quantitative easing — QE3 for short — announced Thursday and set in motion Friday, is just the digital equivalent of printing still more money, money that banks and other financials will either hoard in vaults or pour into equities, driving up stock prices but doing little to enliven the economy as a whole.

How One Man Helps Keep Game Controllers Accessible 130
from the division-of-labor-limited-by-extent-of-market 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).
Really what a great and admirable hobby. This is a gentleman that must sleep well every night.
This is a quality of life issue, asshat.
Quads spend most of their time confined to a bed. A game controller build to meet their needs opens worlds of interactive entertainment to people who would otherwise be limited to passive consumption (television) or limited interaction via a visual keyboard.
captcha: network
And thats what these people gain: a greater network of human interaction. Shame on you for pissing on that.
Why do you assume that all disabled people are that way because they made some stupid decision? Oftentimes, it's because some other person, like a drunk driver, made a stupid decision, but these people have to pay for it. But there's otherwise nothing wrong with them and there's no reason why they should be removed from the gene pool or made to suffer even more than they already are.
Also, you seriously misunderstand how evolution works. Removing a couple of obvious failures from the system doesn't necessarily produce a better gene pool. The genes for stupid behaviors are complex and varied, if they even exist at all, and many, if not most of us, are probably carriers. Furthermore, the stupid are themselves carriers for good genes. By only explicitly selecting the "good" and getting rid of all the undesirables, we not only fail to solve the problem, but we also destroy good genes as well as genetic diversity.
Social Darwinism doesn't work. Never did, never will.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. -- C.B. Luce

COLUMN: Prescription drugs' hefty price tags
Many Americans have begun to realize they're paying too much for prescription drugs. And maybe -- just maybe -- a national conversation on the topic has begun, sparked by the introduction last year of Sovaldi, touted as the most effective way to treat patients with hepatitis C.

So I'll be honest, this is for a homework assignment. I know how to use try and catch, but I'm not quite sure what this question is asking, I'm not asking for the answer, just a clarification.
The Question: Use inheritance to create an exception base class and various exception-derived classes. Write a program to demonstrate that the catch specifying the base class catches derived-class exceptions.
My basic train of thought is that I just make a new class called say.. "Exceptionz" and inherit from System.Exception, make several classes called say, "Derived 1", "Derived 2", then have each of those inherit from "Exceptionz". After that, I am not sure what the question is asking me to do.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Gov. Lynch Calls Shooting A Horrible Tragedy
By Associated Press
New Hampshire's governor and governor-elect are expressing sympathy for the victims of a shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
Gov. John Lynch called Friday's shooting a horrible tragedy that took many innocent lives. He said his prayers and thoughts go out to those who were wounded or killed and to their loved ones.
Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan called it "an unbelievable and senseless tragedy." She said her thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, families, students, teachers and entire community.
A gunman opened fire inside an elementary school where his mother worked, killing at least 26 people, including 20 children.

text: Five to ten percent of North American women have hirsutism, or excessive hair on their faces and bodies. Women have the same number of hairs on their bodies and faces as men do, but the male hormone, testosterone, makes hairs thicker, darker and longer, so they are more noticeable. Some women with heavy facial and body hair have normal amounts of testosterone and inherit this tendency. Others have a medical condition that causes their bodies to produce larger amounts of testosterone. Women with noticeable facial hair should get blood tests for testosterone to measure male hormones made by the ovaries and DHEAS to measure male hormones produced by the adrenal glands. They should also get a sonogram of their ovaries to test for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in which the ovaries do not release eggs each month. Other PCOS symptoms include storing fat primarily in the belly, irregular periods, acne, or infertility. For more on diagnosis and treatment of PCOS see report #8124.

Are fruit trees worth the hassle?
This may be a stupid question, but with all the work that is required for fruit trees - spraying of pesticides, fungicides, etc etc.....is it really worth it, or would I be better off just focusing on my vegetable and berries?
I've had a large vegetable garden for years, and added an assortment of blackberries, blueberries, and other berries a few years ago. Had great success. I'm now looking at adding some fruit trees, but I get the impression that they're a ton of work and and cause a lot of frustration. Just wondering if it's really worth it. Thoughts?
Hi! You are right, fruit trees are not easy but they are not a hassle, they are simply a challenge since there is so much to read about each variety and it's care. A good spray schedule is in order; understanding which sprays to use on the individual tree; pollination, soil, exposure and rootstock, etal. A dear friend who was a 'true plantswoman' once said to me, "you are not a grower until you grow 'stone' fruit'". Fruit trees are very satisfying, gratifying and the fruit is incredible. There is a lot of trial and error for any beginner. I am a beginner going on five years of fruit trees (17 of them) and it has become a passion. Berries and veggies are far easier, for sure. But again, losing and caring for a tomato plant is not quite the same as caring for a European Plum. Just my thoughts, Mrs. G
I believe it all depends on your location and the type of fruit you are trying to grow. The need for sprays suggests that the cultural requirements are not being met exactly, in other words the variety is not well suited to the climate, soils, etc...
There are thousands of successful orchards around the world not using any pesticides or fungicides. Varieties are chosen for their disease resistance instead of shipping ability and appearance for example. Close attention is paid to soil humus content, proper pruning, cover crops, and such.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's worth it for things that can thrive in your area without the use of chemicals. I quickly lose interest in growing something if it requires toxins or is otherwise not suited to my climate and soils... I guess to me then it's not worth it.
I guess that's one of the main things that concerns me. I can grow my veggies and berries chemical free, done it that way for years. I lose some to pests, but just plant extra and no worries.
So, the constant spraying that (I thought) was required for fruit trees didn't seem to fit into my more natural way of gardening. But if I can do it with no or very little chemicals, I'd love to give it a go.
Can someone recommend specific varieties of apples, pears, and/or peaches that would thrive in central IL without much chemical treatment? Or maybe recommend a book or other resource that could give me some guidance? Thanks again.
Layfarmer..... Im just getting into fruit trees myself but Ive read and heard a lot about liberty apple being very disease resistant (Im sure theres others but this is just what Ive happened across).
Also Ive seen them on M7 rootstock which keeps them in the 12-15 range, making pruning and managing a bit easier. Also (again someone correct me if Im wrong), Ive read M7 is very hardy in different types of soils if you happen to have heavy soil... although it does sucker.
Yeah, if you pick trees that are suited for your area, you don't have to spray that much.
Megamav beat me to suggesting pawpaws. They have virtually no diseases or pests in the eastern US, and aside from some difficulties getting them going and tending to them as saplings, once they're established you can pretty much ignore them except for fruit picking time.
Mulberry is another good one for being pest and disease resistant. The mulberry in my front yard doesn't get sprayed and only gets watered when there's a drought, and its doing marvelously. My cherry trees get munched on more often and requires spraying and/or japanese beetle bait traps to keep happy, but its not like I'm going out there every weekend to spray them with poison or anything like that.
Mostly, an established healthy tree is not going to have a lot of pest problems to start with. Younger trees, fresh transplants, trees that are stressed, those are the ones that the bugs are going to zero in on.
It depends on the person. I have spent way to much time working on my small apple orchard. But when I get apples in late August and September I say to myself yup it's worth it. My neighbor who is also trying to grow apples said to me yesterday he was close to ripping out his apples because of many issues with spraying them. I told him we would work on his apple trees and see what happens next year. It's all in your personality.
This is a good question. It depends on how else you might be spending your time. I have 3 seasons invested in my small 50 tree orchard. I am hoping for some of my 1st fruit this year as long as I escaped the "late" spring freezes. Maybe I'll be able to answer this question come fall. I don't keep track of hours spent, but if I had spent those hours in a bar, I'd have spent the same money and been pretty hammered... I can tell you this, it is cheaper than restoring motorcycles and hotrods.
Depends on where you live...
These are my top problems here in southwest WI; Plum curculio, Rose Chafer, Japanese Beetles (just moved in a few years ago), SQUIRRELS!, theft (may or may not be a problem, was last year), Brown Rot (last year was bad).
Out of the fruit trees I would say that pears seem to be the easiest, although I've been fighting blister mites the past few years. Apples have a lot of issues, but even a couple sprays will get you through the PC period. Plums are tough...the bugs love plums...and they get brown rot and late in the season the wasps sting them. Peaches are probably the easiest stonefruit (bugs seem to lay off the peaches), but squirrels found them last year and did lots of damage. Sweet cherries are bug magnets and the rain can destroy and entire crop in a snap should it rain around ripening time. Apricots are somewhere in the middle...they are very early and get hit by frost/freezes... Any given winter up here could destroy a lot of what I'm growing if it gets real cold.
Someday I'll probably limit myself to 5 trees or less and use grafting to put multiple varieties on each one.
Yes GRAFTING is the answer for the backyard grower! Proper hardy varieties appropriate for your area. That would be nice. I try to locate the odd 3-1 or 4-1 trees. I think that is the best way to go if you can train the trees so that no one graft over grows the other graft.
As far as "constantly spraying" that is not true. With a well informed grower with a "spray schedule" you can prevent most things from happening. In all, there are very few major sprayings per year. The only spraying during the in between applications would be for pests. But its not that bad. But then again some places are worse than others.
I will go through the challenge probably till the day I die because I like to see a tree grow to its full potential so that memories and learning experiences can be made. That and I believe in self reliance and a small "earth changing" footprint. Plus the fruit is a sweet bonus!
Fruit trees don't have to be a big hassle especially if you don't need perfect fruit. Take a look at Surround spray and bagging. Both are organic methods that don't kill insects and don't take a huge amount of time. Also, plant things you like to eat. Then you'll feel the time is worthwhile. I don't like Asian pears very much so I haven't planted any even thought they're supposed to be easy.
Stone fruit (peaches, apricots, plums) taste much better from the tree when they're actually ripe than those grocery store fruit does.
I'd recommend Honeycrisp for an apple and one of the cold hardy peaches - Reliance, Madison, PF24C, or Contender. You'll want a second apple too of whatever matches your taste. I haven't had much luck with pears. I have a multi-graft pear that hasn't fruited and might have died this winter. The rabbits ate off a lot of bark.
I have a Honeycrisp tree. It produced the most delicious apple I've ever tasted, but it's susceptible to various diseases. No problem, I cut off the bad branch and live with less-than-perfect leaves. I just bought a Liberty apple tree which is much more disease resistant, and reputedly very tasty.
I only have a small space, so I'm trying to grow things with little/no spraying. I'll net trees to keep birds/squirrels off fruit, and use bags to keep bugs out when necessary.
I want to grow my own to see what tree-ripened fruit can really taste like, and so my kids will have lots of fresh fruit around all the time. It's worth it to me.
I think if you have to ask then no fruit trees are not for you. Spend the same money on gas and go to local orchards to pick your own. You might have to drive a ways but it will be worth it.
I have a passion for fruit, citrus and now bananas so all the problems are just problems for me to solve to satisfy the passion.
You are right. There is nothing that says you have to spray ANYTHING. When i first started, I used nothing and still got some fruit..especially peaches. The fuzz on those things protect them...PC even leaves them alone to some extent, give they have other choices. Something like plums? Good luck. I left my very large Alderman tree spray free one year. I had fruit with 10+ egg laying scars on them...not a single fruit.
I don't use sprays. Never had an issue on peaches. Some years have an issue on certain varieties of apples, but not to the point they're not useable. Other years I get a clean crop on them. The plum seems to take care of itself. The sour cherries...........well I seldom get a crop from it because the birds beat me to it.
I do pay attention yearly to proper pruning because that is an issue to impact trees for diseases. It only takes a few hours a year to do some selective whacking.
I grow my own brambles and veggies and have nut trees, but when push comes to shove in producing your own food, the biggest return on investment comes from the fruit crop. Peaches are up to $35 a half bushel here several years ago. I haven't looked lately because I have my own peaches. My quince trees........well if you can even get quince at farmer's market you're lucky and so high that you'd pay twenty dollars for enough to make a run of jelly. Our county used to be lousy with orchards but it's a dying vocation here with produce coming in from Africa and South America. That's why I keep adding more fruit trees and stopped playing with ornamentals. Absolutely nothing tastes like home grown fruit fresh off the tree. To me it's worth it.
the God's honest shortest answer i can give you is:
the longer version.. poison the earth.;. poison the children.. the homestead.. the neighbors.. spend half your life spraying things [chemical or not] ... what the heck is the upside ... find a local orchard ... and go buy a bushel of whatever comes into season ... its cheaper ...
I started growing apples simply because I could not get good apples locally. If I lived near an apple orchard I might not have started my orchard. But . . . I live in the middle of Vidalia onion country and still grow my own onions so, LOL that is a bad thought. Oh well.
Ken brings up a very valid point. If more people start growing fruit, you are going to get folks out there with backpack sprayers in 30mph winds spraying Carbaryl. Its bad enough with the lawn care companies and their weed killers. Its one reason that maybe fruit trees do belong in orchards. I sure wish I had an acre dedicated only to fruit so the yard could just stay grass/conifers and maybe a nice shade oak.
Its a balancing act. Without spray, its tough. If anything, I'd go with Surround WP and Neem and just deal with fruit loss. Back in they day they had nothing.
I live in a tight pack of Southern California Suburbia and have never been poisoned, never heard of anyone getting poisoned and the soil samples taken from around the county can prove that chemical levels, although high, are not a worrisome factor.(I dont agree with the levels but Im not worried per say but if it was up tom me I could do without them)
Now do I condone over spraying and polluting the ground. No. But given the VOLUME of backyard fruit around here I would think that this area would be a good indicator of how polluted a place could become based on the sheer number of backyard trees. Ive been here for 33 years and my family since the late early 60's. Never had a problem with over polluting due to back yard spraying. Its the FRONT YARDS AND BACKYARDS WITH GRASS!! That I hate! Talk about over fertilizing and watering! That pollutes more than anything I would think.
But with a back yard orchard, with the right spray bottle or pressure sprayer, know when and how to spray, a good backyard grower and keep the spraying to a minimum and very localized.
So I say YES fruit trees are worth it for the enthusiast. But for the casual backyard gardener is say NO to MAYBE. Fruit trees take a little more effort and care but the payoff is worth is. The payoff is the years of semi-free fruit. If you add up the cost of gas and time and per fruit cost over the years to drive and BUY fruit, it will cost more than what I put into my trees every year. AND the fruit tastes 100 times better if grown yourself.
I do it because I love it and love the end result. I dont over spray and I try to keep my spraying organic, off the ground and very localized. I only wish more people would do the same.
Yes it is worth it, as long as you enjoy working in the garden. Fresh tree ripened fruit is so worth it. I grow apples, apricots, plums. Pluots, peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. They all taste so much better then what I can buy in the store.
So I say YES fruit trees are worth it for the enthusiast. But for the casual backyard gardener is say NO to MAYBE.
==>> dont get me wrong..
a hobby is a hobby.. and if this all excites you .. then go for it.. and do it right.. and be happy ... [i am amazed at what some of the peeps here do for this hobby.. its why i come visit so often.. its totally foreign to me ... in a been there.. done that.. succeeded but came to the rationalization that it wasnt for me ]
but this aint little house on the prairie ... and in all reality.. w/o a significant investment of money/time/knowledge/chemical use .. you are not going to get a viable crop of apples e.g. ... just by pure luck ...
and by the time you realize this.. you have lost quite a few years on what is basically an ugly tree .. lol ... there are much better ornamental trees ...
that and growing a crop of ugly fruit.. which falls to the ground and rots and the fall wasp and bees stoned out of their minds eating rotting fermented fruit.. whats that all about ..
If you are willing to invest a lot of money, time, and effort and don't have unrealistic expections, then tree fruit could be worth growing. The battle though is constant. It seems that every single living organism is bent on destroying that fruit. Buy the tree, posts and fencing to protect it from deer, hardware cloth for voles and rabbits, mulch, pruners, saws, ladders, fungicides, insecticides, sprayers, protective clothing, electric fences, nets, fake owls,snakes,wolves,yetis, Christmas tree lights, greenhouses, bees, beneficials, baggies, booties, sprinklers, no trespassing signs, security systems, irrigation, refrigerators, presses, dehydrators, pitters, etc. Then, if you're lucky and the gods all smile upon you with acceptable weather and you beat every squirrel in a 40 mile radius, you just might occasionally get to enjoy that fruit.
Ahh I think the problem lies in the area that you are trying to grow.
I am POOR. I have ZERO dollars most of the time. In the past 2 years I have spent in total, on all my tress and fungicides/pesticides, less than $200. The chemicals are concentrated so they will last a few seasons.
My area fruit trees almost NOTICE I SAID ALMOST almost grow themselves. I guess I got lucky that my family moved from Brooklyn NY in the early 60's to a boon dock called Orange County.
There are pests here but not so many that I would throw in the towel or have to constantly spray. I rarely spray for bugs. Disease is not very prevalent but can occur. Simply preventative measure can slow disease down alot around here. Now I can see trying to grow in other areas where it is colder with more bugs, then I could see some problems. Around here, the weather is awesome most of the time. The problem is the people and government..lol
But hey, I was never one to complain much or throw in the towel when things got a little tough. Then again, it is easier to grow around these parts than other pats of the country.
Im with blazeaglory, I just planted 3 trees in 2 years and its been fun planning it all out and getting things just right. Just like anything else in life, its a new adventure.
Keeps your mind busy and weekends occupied.
Thanks mega! I know how you feel! Although I cant wait to see some good fruit I have a least harvested one(1) peach and two(2) oranges so far...lol
The thing is to keep your eyes on the prize and project yourself to 3 years into the future. And god forbid they dont fruit or the fruit tastes sour. Ill hang myself from my plum tree (Just kidding)
Wow, reading all you guys in the rest of the country go through finally gives me reason to appreciate good old Phoenix Arizona. I have a small 50 tree orchard here and other than nuisance stuff we almost never have much bug issues. Ive never sprayed any of my fruit trees for anything, knock on wood. Guess I will have to quit cursing living here from now on.
I dont know much about Prescott as far as growing...but there are a couple of obvious things you should know. They are quite a bit cooler than here but still very dry with almost no rain. Water will be a big issue. Here in the Phoenix valley we have what called flood irrigation in certain areas that are farmed. Basicly we dammed our rivers and now send stored winter run-off through canals down into Phoenix. Every 2 weeks in the summer and every month in the winter we get a flow of water from the canal system that floods our land under 6" deep of water. Its a fantastic system that is the principal reason the Phoenix valley has seen the growth and fertility that we have here. Growing fruit here is simple simple simple. The only real challenges are the lack of chill hours (most of Phoenix only sees 300 hours, where we are sees around 500-600) and getting trees through the first hot summer. After the first summer they are pretty much golden. Our first harvest of the year starts next week with apricots. Oh and the real fun comes with being able to grow the tropical fruit here too. Along with all the typical stonefruit we also grow mango, papya, starfruit, sapotes, avacados, bananas, etc.
I just wanted to add that the worst thing that happens with a fruit tree you don't take care of is that you don't get fruit. You don't have a put a lot of work into preparing soil every year and constantly planting and replanting like you do with a veggie garden. If you stick the tree in the ground and don't do anything, the worse that happens is that you're out $20 and an hour of work, and you've got this tree you have to mow around. I find it worthwhile even though I lost my apricot crop this year to one of the late freezes, and I might not get much of anything else due to the weird weather, but the only thing I did this spring was prune and it didn't take long so I don't feel it was wasted effort.
Amadioranch that sounds interseting. Are you a large grower or casual? I dont plant on growing very many trees, I just would like a place to escape to when the pressures of Orange County (or global collapse) get to me. The reason I want some acreage is just to surround myself with land. I dont plan on tilling all the acres but if things go well I might try to manage a small nursery with some plants being grown and others bought at wholesale. I dont know its just a little dream of mine to have some nice land in AZ to escape the strangling attitude of what our California government is becoming.
I've spent my whole life (63 years) around fruit trees, so it's hard to imagine not fooling with them. At the worst, you get trees covered with beautiful flowers every Spring. Most are in the rose family, and many will fill your yard with fragrance.
When I lived in Urbana, I planted a mixed orchard out in the country, and a couple of apricot trees by my town home. Everything did well on that 18' deep topsoil, though the Russian Mulberry is a weed tree there. Delicious fruit, but considered undesirable because of the purple bird droppings.
Apricots, pears, and cherries usually make good fruit without spraying, and the apples, peaches, and plums can have a minimal schedule. Just a combination orchard spray after petal fall, then repeated only when rain washes it off. Not very many applications needed these last few years.
I find our fruit trees to be very little hassle and greatly rewarding.
Dwarf Peach: I don't think we ever pruned it. Maybe once. It bore great fruit.
Pears: Just finished eating our Winter Pears. Love them. We've pruned them like once in 12 years. Pick them when they're just turning and there aren't that many bugs. We just cut the bugs out. Ripen then inside on those fruit trays we mooch off the local grocery store.
Grapes: Very easy (suited to our warm dry Summers and the chain link fence they grow on). We can them last year, we dried them this year (very easy in hanging air dryer--gorgeous raisins). We don't prune them each year. The 2 vines cover about 40' each. Kinda wild looking, but it matches the rest of our back yard.
Apples. Need pruning, get lots of bugs. But we just cut the bugs out, same with the pears.
Strawberries: More work, need good weeding.
Apricots: Our neighbors have two big trees. They never spray them. They let us pick them. Best tasting apricots ever (although when they're that ripe, they're not much good for preserving).
My advice: Plant your trees. They'll be growing while you're figuring out how to take care of them. Our apple tree is 15 years old, and I only learned how to prune it a couple of years ago. Didn't prune it before that. Meanwhile it grew. It had apples. We didn't always use them (imho apples are the worst for getting bugs).
For a long time, I didn't know the thing about thinning enough to prevent apples going bienniel, getting big, sweet peaches and stuff like that. I learned.
We never spray anything.
We planted raspberries a few years ago. We are getting more each year.
We learn as we go. It's fun and rewarding. It's not much work.
I think fruit trees are EASY. But I guess it depends how much you are okay with not always getting a perfect crop.
Here (SEUS) you can grow without any special attention or spraying the following: fig, Japanese persimmon, native persimmon, pawpaw, Kiefer pear, muscadine grapes, at least one bunch grape ("Blue Lake"), rabbiteye blueberry (and southern highbush?), many mayhaws (some selections need spraying), elderberry, some jujubees, as well as some nuts (selections of pecan and chestnut). There may be a few I have overlooked.

Very rude bartender! Service was poor. Asked for gyro and asked for extra Tzatziki sauce, and he gave us sour cream. When we told him it was not the right sauce he instantly became very rude. Instead of giving us what we wanted.

We ordered a party from Capone's Flicker Lite last night. From the initial call, placing the order, having the food delivered promptly, everything was fantastic. Our favorite overall were the conch fritters, a satisfying portion of huge balls of conch fried perfectly. We also had stuffed clams, and boy they were awesome too. We put the escargot on top of the clams, oh yes. The garlic rolls are HUGE and arrived warm and soft. I think there was an antipasti too. Our Chicago Deep Dish meat lover pizza hit the spot as centerpiece to the spread. Thanks again to the staff of the flicker lite. Awesome job!

More of a place to grab a decent drink than enjoy an actual meal. Raw Bar is a plus. I have been in a couple times and the service really depended on who was working that day. You have to take Capone's for what it is. You either Love it or hate it. It needs some work, especially to compete with all of the new buildings and restaurants popping up in Hollywood
Posted by Frenchpretty on 12/21/2013
We have eaten at Capone's maybe fifty or sixty times over the last decade. This time, we ordered two items, the grouper sandwich and a pizza with three toppings-twice. Both times were equally disappointing on the second go. The fish was overdone, of poor quality, and freezer burnt. We only asked for the pizza to be more baked, but something else occurred in second baking that made the pizza sweet. With two alcoholic drinks this mess ran us sixty bucks.

But, I'm sure if the Republican candidate had no experience, you'd be sticking up for him, right?
But, I'm sure if the Republican candidate had no experience, you'd be sticking up for him, right?
I would. But then again my votes for President have been; Anderson (I was young), Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, and Kerry. So I can't really be pigeonholed.
I am 49, bald, ugly, and don't own a single cool thing. Kids like me though.
My only point here, which I may not have been clear about, is this. Obama's lack of experience is something that he (and his supporters) have to overcome. He may well do so - only time will tell. But, instead of saying things analagous to "so what, experience doesn't matter", I would expect his supporters to come up with a more positive argument. If not, you are never going to win over the "experience matters" crowd.
I think experience does matter, but I'd much rather see experience as a Governor or at least as a Mayor of a very large city. I don't think Senatorial experience is a huge plus for a candidate, so McCain, HRC, and Obama all have to overcome that. Obama has the least experience, so he has the largest cross to bear.
Despite Gallan's call for a discussion of merits, policy, etc. Flop brings us back to the spin, alternately calling it "no experience" and "lack of experience", which like "not doing something" can be stretched to mean just about anything.Originally Posted by sgallan
Experience obviously is a factor to be weighed. But when it's said the candidate's "lack of experience" (amorphously defined) disqualifies him for office, accompanied by rhetorical strawmen about "experience doesn't matter" (obviously no one would argue experience doesn't matter) then we're probably dealing with a spinning-like argument.Originally Posted by Flop the Nuts
As for specific experience, I'd say being in Congress is a positive marker. On a previous post I mentioned Obama's education (Harvard Law) and alluded to his past work (with which I'm not totally familiar), but these carry some positive weight too.
His time in Congress (a first-termer) and particularly his age (40-something) suggest less experience than the others. But then John Kennedy was even younger than Obama.
By all accounts and appearances Obama has the intellect (one of the things needed) for the position--meaning he has the background and the ability to deal with a variety of complex issues affecting our nation. But, so do the other candidates. I mention this again, because the importance of this factor was made prominent by the present occupant, and because it is something that can help overcome a candidate's lesser experience.

Flop brings us back to the spin, alternately calling it "no experience" and "lack of experience", which like "not doing something" can be stretched to mean just about anything.
I'm not trying to spin. If a candidate doesn't have experience as a governor, or an impressive legislative record as a Senator, then we have to rely on other things, many of which you mentioned. Education, presumed intellect, and comparision to other young Presidents. That's ok, but we're left with hope at that point. Hope that Obama can follow through on what he is saying; hope that he has the managerial and leadership instincts to make change happen; hope that he can translate words into action at some point.
He may be the best president ever, who knows? I think he'll be the next President, so I'm asking these questions out of concern as much as anything else. He's going to have the benefit of democrat leadership in the House and Senate, so the skids will be greased for him.
Well, the whole experience question can also be expressed as: how well do we know him? Let's hope he is everything he appears to be.
I'm not sure why Republicans in certain measure seem to be conceding the general election. I think they have a strong candidate. Granted, the tide seems to be flowing against them but McCain is formidable. If they'd offered someone like Huckabee instead he'd probably be trounced.

I don't think they will in the end, but if it were to happen, my guess is that it's because he's not "Conservative" enough. America has been so polarized and "Limbaugh'd", that if a candidate has even a couple of more liberal leanings, he's not a Republican. Funnily, even over on themat.com, when the "repubs" took a "Conservative/Liberal" quiz, and they end up having liberal leanings themselves...but everyone has this image of what the "Perfect" Republican looks like, and since McCain doesn't fit that mold, they're hating his possible nomination.I'm not sure why Republicans in certain measure seem to be conceeding the general election. I think they have a strong candidate. Granted, the tide seems to be flowing against them but, you know, if they offered someone like Huckabee he'd probably be thoroughly trounced.
It's the divisiveness within America that was pretty much created in the last few elections by both parties. For some reason, the ability and desire to reach across the aisle is now seen as a weakness and not a strength.
Jacob Schlottke---Gone too soon, and the world is a little less bright because of it. RIP, brother.
One, two, Evans is coming for you...
I'm reading a really great book now: The Age of American Unreason, in which the author, Susan Jacoby, suggests that the polarization has happened, in part, because of the general dumbing down in America that's occurred in our lifetimes--making it easier for people with agendas to dominate the conversation.

Painting My Grout
Hello everyone,
I'm new at mosaic art, and this is my first post. I looked everywhere before I found this forum!
I used stained glass to do mosiacs, and white grout. I use white grout because I prefer to paint my grout a shimmery color that accents my piece. I've seen this done by other artists, and I think it is beautiful.
My problem is that I have been using acrylic paint (sometimes thinned, sometimes not) and it doesn't work well at all. The paint does not adhere to the grout and it dries very splotchy and ugly looking.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I using the wrong kind of paint? Or the wrong kind of grout maybe?
Thank you to anyone who can help me!
Hey, MRSB! Glad you joined the forum with a post. Welcome! I can't answer your question, as I've never used those supplies, but if anyone here knows, they will for sure answer you. This is a great group of people, and very helpful. We'd love to see some of your work. Post a photo or two soon, ok? It'd be fun to see what you're up to.
I always use the cheap acrylic paints and they work great. I never water them down though. They make the piece
seem really finished and sealed looking. I paint it on thick, and give it a couple minutes, and wipe the glass.
Never had a problem!..sorry to hear that isn't working for you! You might need to put it on a little more heavy, and let it soak in. I do mine about an hour or so after a project, don't know if that matters. Are you using sanded grout? That might be the problem? Sanded works great with
Hi and welcome. I think your problem has already been identified - I do not like unsanded grout at all. I paint all my grout (sanded grout) using acrylic paints (the brand I happen to use is Ceramcoat by Delta) and I do not have a problem. The method of application that works best for me is to sponge on the paint using natural sea sponges. Somehow that works better than a brush. I squirt the paint into a jar lid, dip in the dampened sponge, dab all over the mosaic piece, wait until the paint is almost dry, then scrub the tesserae with a damp terrycloth rag. Hope this helps!

0Jun 14, '12 by patrihey all, I need help with math questions in CRNE..is it possible for anyone to share few and focus on the strategies to solve them efficiently???
Not only math calculations but also need help to prepare myself to answer community health nursing related questions. Best strategy to answer them and to prepare the whole section of community nursing. What points should we focus more and like that. I see there is a lot of stuff on allnurses to prepare for NCLEX and very less for CRNE so lets start building it. I mean from the beginning. Topics, meds, med calculations, community nursing, etc.Last edit by NotReady4PrimeTime on Jun 14, '12 : Reason: boosting post count
0Quote from patriThere's actually A LOT of information about the CRNE on this site. You just have to look for it. Every exam sitting for the past five years at least has been heavily discussed with details about studying, how to prep etc. If you found allnurses.com you can find this stuff. Use the search box at the top right of the screen....I see there is a lot of stuff on allnurses to prepare for NCLEX and very less for CRNE so lets start building it. I mean from the beginning.

0Jun 14, '12 by patriI already tried but not enough practice questions or online sites for practice questions related to CRNE I find here...its all the name of the books, prep courses thts it...
Also for everything its money, money and money...for NCLEX I found everything on allnurses and didn't had to pay a single penny whereas for CRNE even to get 100 question bank book there is money going out of my pocket...I am unemployed so don't have that much money to spend on prep courses and books. In toronto public library every book has long line of holds...I wish CRNE had atleast easy access to prepare for the people who are jobless and paying $508 just to write it.Last edit by NotReady4PrimeTime on Jun 14, '12 : Reason: boosting post count
0You cannot compare Canada to the US. Everything is different in Canada and that's just the way it is. Canada has the same population as the state of California - about 34 million, or about 1/10th that of the US. Economies of scale are involved here. Clinical questions on the CRNE are very similar to those on the NCLEX so you can study those with confidence. those relating to community health care, the determinants of health, Canadian health care law and ethics are the ones you won't find in NCLEX prep material. Have you thought about borrowing CRNE prep materials from a university library or another library that has them through an interlibrary loan? That involves NO money other than whatever your local library charges for a library card.
Posting actual exam questions is illegal. Everyone who writes is required to sign a contract that states they will not reveal the specific contents of the exam so the prep materials are really the only way to go. You should check out CRNEcentral.com - Your #1 source for passing the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination for a sample exam that is free. You should also check CNO's web site for resources that will help you grasp the complex and specific information that will be tested.
In another thread you stated you have a BScN from York University. Why is it that you don't have CRNE prep information from your nursing school? I don't understand how a Canadian university would not prep their students for the CNRE; most Canadian-educated candidates pass their CRNE on the first attempt.Last edit by NotReady4PrimeTime on Jun 14, '12 : Reason: added something
