Erosion control/native plants
Is there a way to control erosion on this hill? It is very steep and not very easy to plant on, at all. Should I spread seed on it? I would like to use native plants if possible but I am not limited to them.
At first look, I would say no, it is not possible to stop this rather severe erosion by vegetation alone. Some sort of engineered solution will be needed. Is this a part of a stream system? Is there any chance of state grant money to assist in a project to repair this site? You might be surprised at what is available, depending on where you live, of course.
More likely than not, the only realistic way to mitigate this problem would be to regrade the slope-get it to a 2 to 1 or lesser slope. Then, vegetation will be needed to finalize the stabilization. This can and should consist of a combination of seeded, plant plugs, and maybe even live stakes, all to help hold things together.
I've been involved in several large-scale restorations of severely eroded ravines. I'm guessing that urbanization upstream from where this picture was taken is causing that waterway to become "flashier" than it originally was. IOWs, when a heavy rain event takes place, or even a moderate one, increased presence of roads, parking lots, rooftops, etc. on the upstream side is causing too much water to be immediately drained off into this channel. Such erosion is impossible to stop without taking serious measures.
If I'm wrong about the genesis of this problem, perhaps you will point out the discrepancies. But it sure does look like a small part of some large issues I've dealt with.
Brush can be piled up in the gap area such that, over time, it collects more leaf litter, etc. Just be sure to not use branches from invasive species that might have seeds left on them! I've laid branches/brush into eroded gullies like this and achieved at least some success. I tended to think I was slowing the erosion down, not stopping it. And again, if this is what I think it is, areas upstream are being developed, with accompanying pavement and rooftops, and sending rain water down into this area in a hurry following rain events. Even agricultural lands can be "flashy" like that. In any case, that or something like that is the genesis of the problem, I suspect.

Apple Doesn't Appreciate Toilet Humor 104
from the evacuate-different 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).
To understand this, you must understand how trademarks work: If you fail to defend a trademark, you will lose it.
Imagine a company called ElectronCo coming up with a new electronic doodad and calling it an "iPud". Apple sues claiming that the name iPud is too close to iPod and iPad, and thus it is a trademark violation, and will confuse the consumer.
If ElectronCo can show that Apple knew about the iPood, and didn't defend its trademark against that, Apple could actually lose the case.
Therefore, companies spend lots of time and effort defending their trademarks from all possible rivals no matter how ridiculous or silly it may look.
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.

Whisky-Online Auctions
Whisky Online Auctions is a world leader in the valuation and sale of rare and collectable whiskies and spirits. Our monthly dedicated auctions regularly feature bottles not to be found in any other auction with world record prices achieved every sale. There is truly a benefit to both the buyer and seller with Whisky Online. We offer worldwide shipping, loyalty points, free valuations, home collections, low commissions, unrivalled knowledge and unparalleled variety, so, whether you're looking for quirky every day drinking drams, top end rarities or to maximise your profit on a few bottles or a whole collection, why not get in touch today.
Auction Highlights
Balvenie have a proud history of producing some serious high end whiskies; although the manner in which they have done so over the years has been far more tasteful and subtle than many other distilleries - even including their sibling Glenfiddich. This 1963 50 year old was matured solely in a European oak hogshead and bottled in 2014 at 45.9% with an outturn of just 128 bottles. Balvenie can withstand extremely long periods of maturation and show beautifully at such ages so this should be utterly sublime whisky. Not to mention the rather stunning presentation and elegant simplicity of the bottle itself. All in a pretty special bottling.
This white label series of Talisker 'Pure Malt' ran from the 1950s throughout the 1960s and examples of it are now extremely scarce and desirable. The majority that we know of are bottled at 80 proof or 75 proof and are utterly incredible whiskies. So it makes this version - bottled at 100 proof - something of an uber-rarity. Bottled around 1960 with a filling level still comfortably into the neck and remarkably well preserved label and capsule; this is the sort of bottling that most of us dream about finding. Basically it is young, cask strength Talisker distilled sometime in the late 1940s/early 1950s. How often do you get the chance to acquire such a historic and incredible spirit...

Diary of Tom Cruise's Lawyer: 10 Days, 200 Phone Calls and 30 Letters
Bert Fields reveals what went down from the time Katie Holmes filed for divorce until the settlement — and beyond.
This story first appeared in the July 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter.
While most Americans spent July 4 surrounded by BBQs and beers, Bert Fields was jetting to New York to negotiate Tom Cruise's divorce settlement with Katie Holmes. The trip would kick off a 10-day period that saw the 83-year-old seamlessly handle business for clients James Cameron and The Weinstein Co. while also managing to catch a movie with Dustin Hoffman, cook dinners at home, read poetry to his wife and put out dozens of media fires that erupted from the Cruise divorce.
COMPLETE LIST: THR's Power Lawyers 2012
Wednesday, July 4:
Amid frenzied media coverage of the Holmes divorce filing, Fields secretly flies to New York to meet with her attorneys. "We are letting 'the other side' play the media until they wear everyone out, and then we'll have something to say," he tells the BBC. Negotiations take place July 5 and 6, with an agreement in principal reached Saturday, July 7, says Fields.
PHOTOS: Christian Bale, Lindsay Lohan Pose With Their Lawyers
Sunday, July 8:
Fields returns to Los Angeles and spends the day working from home at his house on Malibu's Carbon Beach. He says that since negotiations began in New York, he has devoted about 40 percent of his time to the divorce proceeding. "Fortunately, I didn't have any [scheduled] court appearances this week."
Monday, July 9:
The settlement is finalized, leaving Fields to deal with a deluge of media requests. He estimates that about 50 news outlets lodge 200 phone calls to him over the next several days. He and his partners monitor the web and respond to inaccurate claims about the terms of the settlement. "The tabloids -- not only are they crazy and wild, but they are inconsistent with each other." Still, Fields finds time for a lunch meeting with "a favorite client," Mr. Chow restauranteur Michael Chow.
Tuesday, July 10:
Fields researches and writes longhand a legal brief for the estate of The Godfather author Mario Puzo, which Fields is representing in its effort to terminate its original 1969 rights grant to Paramount Pictures. Fields files the brief the next day.
STORY: How to Write an Effectively Nasty Lawyer Letter
Wednesday, July 11:
Fields fires off a blistering letter to National Enquirer publisher American Media threatening a defamation lawsuit over its cover story, "Inside Tom's House of Horrors!" Fields also gives statements to Radar Online and Huffington Post refuting claims that the Church of Scientology played a role in Cruise's settlement. After editing a brief for client The Weinstein Co., his driver takes him to a screening of Quartet, a film directed by friend and client Dustin Hoffman, at the Landmark Theatres. Afterward, he dines with other attendeees at Westside Tavern.
Thursday, July 12:
Fields continues his war of words with American Media. He estimates he has written about 30 letters asking that media outlets correct inaccuracies in their coverage of the Cruise divorce. "I was denying all the false claims without disclosing what was really in the [settlement]." Fields has a strategic discussion with James Cameron. "He's a favorite client of mine."
Friday, July 13:
Fields spends the day in court and continues to deal with the Enquirer. He says he will urge Cruise to sue but notes that the actor isn't litigious. "I have to sit down with Tom -- he's still shooting Oblivion -- and decide when to file a lawsuit. If we file a lawsuit." Fields tells the San Francisco Chronicle that Cruise has not "said anything to lessen" children Connor or Isabella Cruise's contact with their mother, Nicole Kidman. Fields, an avid chef, returns home to whip up dinner, read poetry (T.S. Eliot and E.E. Cummings) to his wife, Barbara Guggenheim, and work on his book about Elizabeth I. "A fairly normal week," he says.

Scungilli near Matawan?
- eleeper Nov 13, 2011 06:43 PM
There are tons of Italian restaurants around here, and a lot serve calamari, but I don't know of any that have scungilli. Does anyone know of an Italian restaurant between Freehold and Sayreville that has it?
According to their website, The Lobster House in West Freehold has scungilli ...
Is Aberdeen near enough? Just for the record, I'm old enough to remember when both Aberdeen & Matawan were one town. Denino's in the Strathmore Plaza, not just scungilli, but a darn good one at that.

De Gouveia: We see that gold is shining brilliantly as the ultimate safe haven these days. Now, you say that South Africa's biggest gold miner is keen to take a journey to the centre of the earth to liberate 100-million ounces of deep gold. Tell us about that.
Creamer: That is AngloGold Ashanti and it is booming at the moment, it has got money coming out of its ears. I think it will have free cash after capital expenditure of something like $2,3-billion that is R18-billion this year.
It is looking at going deep as greenfields exploration, like it goes into Africa and it does exploration from scratch. Looking at going to about 5 km and below where we have never ventured before, to get something like 100-million ounces of gold. If they don't do it then it is going to be left there sterilised.
They are setting up a new technology base, they have got in the biggest companies in the world. Working with them are the likes of General Electric of the United States, 3M of the United States and Schlumberger. They are not going to do this on their own, they are not going to reinvent the wheel, they are going to bring in technologies that are know and get down deep, but in a different way.
Also very safe, because they don't want to go for the blasting techniques that we are use to, because when you blast underground you shake-up the earth. They want to try and avoid that and go for mechanical boring means and also reduce their dilution. The prize there is 100-million ounces of gold at a time when the world is short of supplies. They are looking at a prototype type next year and they are looking at bigger details by September.
De Gouveia: What does this ultimately mean for the South African economy?
Creamer: For the South African economy it means that we get a competitive advantage, because if they are able to go 5 km, we know that all those mines around the world that just can't do it, that are open pits at the moment, but that will go underground. We will be able to bring that technology and turn it to account.
De Gouveia: So it is a good thing then for South Africa's economy?
Creamer: A very good thing.
De Gouveia: The government is going all out to give new impetus to its R860-billion public investment programme.
Creamer: We have this R860-billion to spend. Can you believe it, it is hard to spend it. Every year we come up with this hardy annual that we are unable to spend. It is not just the local authorities out there that can't spend it very sophisticated State-owned enterprises are unable to spend their budgets.
We saw Eskom, and we need the energy, unable to spend what it was budgeted for two years running. Eskom is sort of pledging now that it will spend that R75-billion.
We saw Transnet unable to spend its budget and we suffer because if we don't export that coal we don't have the revenue coming in, we don't have the jobs. Now they are saying take it to the centre and they have got a new infrastructure commission and they are putting Jacob Zuma right there because they want it to have clout.
They are saying give it impetus, work from the top, but make sure that we do it in a way that we did with the FIFA World Cup. We had a top-down structure, but we got it to work. Let's make it to work again and it will be interesting to see whether centralisation rather then decentralisation works or just becomes another bottleneck.
De Gouveia: Do you think that the fact that President Jacob Zuma is personally going to be heading up this infrastructure commission that it means they really are taking a step in the right direction?
Creamer: Well I hope that it is so. The Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane has come out with these details and he is talking about capex underspending being a chronic problem and how it needs to be solved at this point in time, because we need those jobs. The actual construction economy in South Africa is really in recession and we don't need that at this stage.
The contribution of official infrastructure expenditure to gross-domestic product is falling I think to an all time 8% low, which is very low and I know that is concerning the Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel.
De Gouveia: On to a different topic, when we look at South Africa in terms of aeronautical research. There is something happening there?
Creamer: Yes, South Africa has succeeded as establishing itself as Europe's fourth most important aeronautical research partner. It is sort of a mouth full, but they are talking in these acronyms of a International Cooperation Partner Country.
They are even using the ICPC. They say South Africa is number four here. We have got nine projects with European Union all involving aeronautics, which is a feather in our cap for a country of our size. These projects range from creating an environmentally friendly aircraft engine to also advanced alternative fuel.
So, we have only got one big company Sasol involved on the fuels side, but we have got a lot of institutions involved and 75 % of those funds about R18-million worth of funds come from the European Union and into our access and also give our researchers access to the top companies to the likes of Airbus, Volvo, Rolls Royce.
They also then get other spin-off contracts that are outside of what they call this framework programme seven which must end in 2013. In the meantime, South Africa number four, Canada is below us, Australia is below us.
We have got nine projects going, Canada has only got six and Australia only one, but the top most project performer – and this is all in emerging countries, they take the best brains, the brightest minds, because they want to try and develop this knowledge economy of the EU and they want help from around emerging countries – is Russia with 52 projects, China with 14, Ukraine 10 and then South Africa 9.
De Gouveia: Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week.

Am I crazy to set 'moisture content' of framing in specs?
As you all could probably tell by now, I am extremely detail oriented, and we are heading into the last part of the planning phase--which means my detail-oriented mind is laser-beam fixated on details and I worry that I'm going to make a mis-step. :-)
This is for a gut kitchen remodel. Some reframing (new windows) and new casing/trim. I'm the homeowner, not an architect or construction pro.
I'm asking because a book I read says "You should accept dimensional framing lumber with no more than a 19 percent moisture content and finish lumber with no more than 10 percent." (To avoid gaps showing later when the wood shrinks.)
Would I be crazy to specify the moisture content for the wood in the specifications document?
Or rather, what impressions do you think good GCs would get about me if I did specify it?
Thanks in advance!
You should always tell the contractor something in order to avoid surprises.
Specifying 19% MC tells the contractor is that you don't want green lumber and it doesn't have to be kiln-dried.
A lot depends on your climate, the species of the wood, and how soon it will be installed and enclosed.
Renovator8, thanks for that ("you should always tell the contractor.."). Well, actually thanks for *all* that you wrote--and especially that. I do worry that I'm going to drown them with my wordiness.
My difficulty is I don't know what I don't know, and what surprises are bad and thus to be avoided.
For example, why would someone want "kiln-dried"?
The house is located in Massachusetts (sometimes humid days, sometimes dry days, weather for all four seasons).
Wow, thanks Renovator8! Glad I asked, and can thank my lucky stars that you are reading GardenWeb. :-)
Do you think the finish woods (door and window casings, etc) ought to be specified as kiln-dried also? My finishes will all be painted. The last time I did a project with door casings, the guy at the mill recommended poplar. That project turned out great (though I have no idea if his poplar was kiln-dried or not).
The MC of interior millwork should ideally be 12% but no more than 15% which requires kiln-drying.
Poplar is the best for painted trim and the best place to buy it is Anderson McQuaid in Cambridge.
Here is a link that might be useful: Anderson McQuaid
I've bought trim and framing lumber at real lumberyards and at home improvement stores.
The trim that is unusable will be evident in the store or before installation.
I am a hobby woodworker as well and am quite familiar with moisture content, air drying, and kiln drying.
I've literally never worried about MC with factory made trim. I have had issues with shop made trim(some that I made as well) because of MC problems.
MC as a problem with framing lumber is a bit more prevalent, so that is an area where specifying kiln dried is applicable.
And, if any pressure treated lumber is used, it is critical to use dry lumber. PT lumber is not kiln dried, so it has to be air dried. Out of the treatment vessal, PT framing wood can need up to 6 months of air dry time, depending on how it was handled/packaged/shipped.
Commonly available lumber and millwork may meet the standards you want but without a detailed specification a contractor is free to use other (even used) materials that could lower the quality of the work below your expectations and/or with no cost savings to you.
Since your best interests (quality) can be in conflict with the contractor's best interests (profit), you should always provide detailed specifications in a contract whether they seem necessary or not.
Another benefit of a written specification is that you avoid the necessity of comparing the different proposals from multiple bidders which can make it impossible to award the contract with confidence. Ask the bidders to show any alternate materials & methods proposals as add or subtract line items modifying the base bid price.
Just remember the more detailed the requirements the higher the price of the material (fewer vendors, etc.) and the more YOU are going to pay the GC (especially if he has a % markup on material costs).
You can also expect tighter and tighter adherence to the letter of the contract, and more opportunities for change orders (and harder negotiation on them).
Asking for things you have no way to verify is also not very productive.
The purchase of KD lumber is only a general indicator of what its moisture content was immediately after drying.
Since that time it could have absorbed moisture and be significantly higher.
There can also be issues with things like HVAC in a house under construction that lead to moisture content changes and warping AFTER the wood has been used.
Focusing on the desired end result is often more productive than trying to control every step of the construction process.
Do you plan on checking each piece of lumber for a grading stamp?
If so it needs to be done after delivery but before ANY cutting has occurred (the grade stamp may be on the off-cut).
In the unlikely event of KD SPF lumber being stored at a MA lumberyard outside without protection, the only thing you can do is to specify the desired MC on arrival at the site and describe how lumber must be stored on site and then enforce it. After the framing is complete is not the time to deal with substandard lumber.
You should definitely look at the grade stamp on the majority of the framing, as early as possible, especially studs supporting more than one floor/roof and large headers and beams.
The grade stamp on cut down framing pieces is of little or no consequence but it is good for them to be of the same species and MC so they will shrink in a similar manner as the overall structure but inspection is not necessary.
Whatever you provide for the contractor, someone should inspect the work on a regular basis. I've been doing this for far too long to trust any builder to not make mistakes and the sooner they are discovered the easier and cheaper it is to correct them. Some of the best builders I've ever worked with have made many mistakes, the most serious of which were usually discovered during the structural engineer's final inspection.
"In the unlikely event of KD SPF lumber being stored at a MA lumberyard outside without protection, the only thing you can do is to specify the desired MC on arrival at the site..."
Without a moisture meter to verify the level you are still wasting your time.
Simply specify that framing lumber is to be KD. That's it.
Specify that all drywall will be fastened with screws, no nails. That'll eliminate any nail popping that the KD should take care of in the first place.
With a typical construction schedule, it may be weeks (addition) or months (a house) before the shell of the addition/house is completely weatherized. during that time wet wood can lose moisture and dry wood can take on moisture. So no worries, just specify KD lumber for your framing.
Tell your GC of your concerns, and they are these: When framing, I save the straightest sticks (studs) for framing the corners and for the king studs for window and door framing. I also use the best for kitchen and bath walls, where cabinets will be hung of walls tiled.
Slightly crowned studs can be used elsewhere. Ones a little worse can be cut up for cripples. The worst, if there are any true nasties, get sent back to the lumberyard.
If your framing needs (quantity-wise) are not great, then have your GC go to the yard and had-pick the best studs out of the lift. Yards around here know I won't accept crappy wood, so they won't knowingly send it my way. If any does make it on the truck they know it'll be coming back to them.
If your GC has any relationship at the yard they'll let him hand-pick, even if they have a "no hand-pick" rule in place.
Interior trim, no worries. It's all low-MC to begin with, and it's stored under cover or even indoors. Proper joinery can prevent or minimize any movement concerns.
Hi all, I'm the original poster. Finally got a Friday-work deadline completed and the weekend chores done, and could come back to this.
Wow! Thanks for all of the great info, and thanks so much for posting! And especially for the details--I cannot tell you how much I (a novice) appreciate the time you've taken to share your experienced knowledge here.
handymac, thanks for sharing your experience from the hobby woodworking side of things. And for that additional point about pressure-treated wood (at least, I assume that's what you meant by "PT"). It reminded me to double-check our spec document and see if we had any involved in this project. :-)
Renovator8, thanks again for all of your input, tips of what to look for, and wise words about this. And for the tip about Anderson McQuaid in Cambridge! I had no idea they existed--just a few months ago I was doing Google searches trying to find a Boston-area place with a wide range of mouldings to choose from, and missed that one. It's nice to see a place that's taken the time to put images of the mouldings on their web site.
brickeyee, you wrote Focusing on the desired end result is often more productive than trying to control every step of the construction process.
Yes, I can see the truth in that--and if this were a project in my own area of expertise and experience (software programming), I'd know more how to approach it. I mean, in my own past work experiences, I know I could describe the desired end result to a team of software programmers and say "I don't want to prescribe how you implement this, because I expect you (the team) will come up with the best solution, now that you understand what end result is desired." Even so, my ability to do that with the software team depends on what I know of the experience level of the actual members of the team, and how well I've described the desired end result (and even *why* that's the desired end result--how our customers will use it).
My challenge for this construction project is that:
Construction is not my area of experience/expertise (so I don't always know the right way to describe the end result I want, other than the sparsest ("I want straight walls and windows and doorways"). I don't know what I don't know.
I know it's a lot easier/faster in software programming to re-do something when it turns out to not match the desired end result, than it is in a hard building. :-) As Renovator8 put it "Some of the best builders I've ever worked with have made many mistakes," -- we're only human and make mistakes for all kinds of reasons.
In my work experience, me and the programmers are all on the same team (= the same company), so we share the same incentive to get the desired end result done in the most solid, no-bugs, "won't break later" way. (Because if they implement it and it breaks down the road, a customer will find it and call it in and they'll have to fix it anyway.)
So, while I know that I don't want to specify...

For the last two years I have been using Java and NetBeans, where all I need to do to add a new third party library to my project is throw in the .jar file and NetBeans does the rest.
Recently I have switch to C++ and Visual Studio and I am having a really hard time getting a project to compile using OpenGL, GLUT and GLEW due to 'Missing reference' errors.
Some tutorials tell me I need to download the projects for GLUT/GLEW and run them (that didn't work), some tutorials tell me I need to add a .dll file to my Win32 folder, others say just put the header files in the same directory as your project and some say I need to install these libraries in to Visual Studio itself, not just to my project.
None of these approaches have worked thus far.
All I want is for this one project to use these libraries. This is throwing a major spanner in the works for me at the moment, any help would be appreciated.

Old Sears sewing machine
toolgrannySeptember 12, 2011
I'm trying to put an old machine together for a woman who needs one. I about have it but can't get it to do a straight stitch.
Does anyone have a manual for a Sears 148-15600 that can look something up for me?
Linda, I used to think you could find any answer online. I did find where someone asked how to get from a buttonhole stitch to a straight stitch, but there wasn't an answer. Sorry. I have an older Kenmore with manual up north but don't know if it's this model or not. Salijo has my mom's (probably from the 50's) but I doubt there's a manual with it....will have her check model number.

President Bush and Democratic front-runner Sen. John Kerry are engaged in a high-tech political showdown that combines the targeting power of direct mail with the glossy appearance of a television commercial.
The format is a Web video message e-mailed to millions of the Democratic and Republican rank-and-file.
"It's animated direct mail," said Michael Cornfield, research director of the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet at George Washington University. "It's meant to mobilize supporters, raise money and create buzz."
Thanks to advances in technology, campaigns are making widespread use of Web videos that are quicker to produce and cheaper to distribute than direct-mail literature sent to voters' homes or television commercials.
And unlike those TV ads, the videos that appear on the Internet face none of the content regulations of the 2002 campaign-finance law, including the statement by the candidate of "I approved this ad" that has given some campaigns pause before releasing negative political ads. Web videos have the potential to be nastier than the typical TV ad.
Sent out as links in e-mails, Web videos can easily be forwarded by the original recipients to scores of people, unlike direct mail that may end up in the trash.
Nick Nyhan, president of Dynamic Logic, an Internet consultancy, called such Web videos the future of political campaigns. "It's a new rapid-response medium for them," he said.
Flush with about $100 million in the bank at the end of last year, the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign sat on the sidelines for months as the Democrats spent millions on ads in dozens of markets as part of the primary race. The incumbent Republican wanted to wait until the presumptive nominee emerged from the series of caucuses and primaries before unleashing his own television-ad campaign.
Rather than run TV ads when it became clear that Mr. Kerry was poised to capture the Democratic presidential nomination, the Bush-Cheney campaign opted to e-mail a made-for-the-Internet video to 6 million supporters last week that sought to portray the Massachusetts senator as beholden to special interests even as he campaigns against them. Mr. Kerry has run at least a dozen TV ads assailing Mr. Bush or his policies.
Matthew Dowd, the Bush-Cheney campaign's chief strategist in charge of polling and media, said the campaign chose the Web video because it wanted to deliver its message quickly to core supporters who were paying attention to the presidential race and the likelihood that Mr. Kerry would win the nomination.
"The delivery of information will expand. When we begin to talk to the general public, we'll go through the broadcast media," Mr. Dowd said.
Mr. Kerry's campaign responded Saturday, sending its own Web video to 300,000 supporters. The video described Mr. Bush as "the politician who's taken more special-interest money than anyone in history."
The Kerry campaign also ridiculed Mr. Bush for not being in his own video, while the senator was shown approving the message in his.
Mr. Dowd said when the campaign airs TV ads, they will include Mr. Bush intoning, "I approved this message" in accordance with the law.
Jonah Seiger, a Washington-based Internet consultant, said that with the combination of the e-mail list and Web videos, the campaigns have essentially created broadcast networks.
"It goes out to a huge group of people, who in turn send it to their friends," he said. "It has a network effect."
