A couple of weeks ago, at the annual Government Leadership Summit that this company sponsors in Williamsburg, Va., for federal and state CIOs, I introduced veteran editor and panel moderator John Stein Monroe as Federal Computer Week's in-house guru on social media and collaborative Web 2.0 tools — the central theme of this year's conference.
That John would be considered an expert practitioner of social-networking applications suprised some of the people who have gotten to know him during the 15 years that he has been reporting and editing for this magazine — and participating for almost as long at our CIO Summit. For a journalist of his tenure and deep experience, being a social-media evangelist is a new role for him to play.
But as John demonstrates in this week's cover story, you don't have to be a Gen Xer or a Millennial to get the value and benefits of social networking in a mission-driven organization. What you do have to understand is the organizational mission. In FCW's case, that mission has everything to do with getting the best and most reliable information we can find to our readers and Web site visitors — in ways that are most useful to them.
What John has helped us all to discover is that information doesn't always have to emanate from us, the publisher. Information that is most valuable to our readers often comes from you, the reader.
It was only in January, about the time I arrived here, that FCW.com and our sister sites, GCN.com and WashingtonTechnology.com, began accepting and publishing comments from readers. During that time, we have received more than 2,500 submissions on all kinds of stories about government technology, procurement reform and, of course, Government 2.0.
Now, to be sure, comments are a pretty rudimentary form of social networking. But this function does provide an immediate, concrete way for readers to exchange information with the writer of the story — and with one another. And John, who began sifting through these comments every day for nuggets of knowledge and insight, quickly saw their value for our readers and the opportunity they presented to us.
Indeed, in a few cases, a comment provided by a reader was so provocative and well-argued that John invited the author to expand it into a opinion column with a byline for these pages. We now plan to make such guest columns a regular feature of the magazine.
And John, who also writes the "FCW Insider" blog, continues to mine the extraordinary expertise of our reader community for stories and advice. It turned out that his two posts from the CIO Summit, where he encapsulated the best tips from social-networking practitioners, were the most popular stories of the week on FCW.com. Which got John to thinking — maybe there's a cover story in there. (See Page 22)

Gigabyte P67A-UD4 Sandy bridge mobo Sneak Peek -
Product Gallery
Product gallery
Right so we have to be a little careful as there's nothing we can say about the actual P67 chipset. What we can say is that team did its best to bring you guys a very mature and feature rich motherboard alright.
Above the packaging, new design. Gigabyte is going for simple. Inside it, a P67 motherboard. As you guys know the launch of Intel's Sandy Bridge (mainstream at first) processors is getting closer, and with it unfortunately again comes a new CPU socket (LGA 1155), and thus new motherboard chipsets.
Gigabyte is working on an entire range of these motherboards and for the model shown today is making sure that graphics cards solutions work as there are a total of two PCI Express x16 slots, three PCI Express x1 slots, and two PCI slots on the motherboard
For those wondering if you like to go multi-GPU with two cards, this is possible at a 8:8 PCIe lane configuration, that is enough for modern high end graphics cards. Included in the bundle is:
Driver CD
User manual
Quick installation guide
Four SATA cables
I/O shield
2-way SLI connector
We'll talk about that a little more on the next pages of course. Bundling wise the motherboard comes with everything needed, lacking however is a proper SATA 6G cable.

Context Medical education researchers are inherently collaborators. This paper presents a discussion of theoretical frameworks, issues and challenges around collaborative research to prepare medical education researchers to enter into successful collaborations. It gives emphasis to the conceptual issues associated with collaborative research and applies these to medical education research. Although not a systematic literature review, the paper provides a rich discussion of issues which medical education researchers might consider when undertaking collaborative studies.
Methods Building on the work of others, we have classified collaborative research in three dimensions according to: the number of administrative units represented; the number of academic fields present, and the manner in which knowledge is created. Although some literature on collaboration focuses on the more traditional positivist perspective and emphasises outcomes, other literature comes from the constructivist framework, in which research is not driven by hypotheses and the approaches emphasised, but by the interaction between investigator and subject.
Discussion Collaborations are more effective when participants overtly clarify their motivations, values, definitions of appropriate data and accepted methodologies. These should be agreed upon prior to commencing a study. The way we currently educate researchers should be restructured if we want them to be able to undertake interdisciplinary research. Despite calls for researchers to be educated differently, most training programmes for developing researchers have demonstrated a limited, if not contrary, response to these calls.
Conclusions Collaborative research in medical education should be driven by the problem being investigated, by the new knowledge gained and by the interpersonal interactions that may be achieved. Success rests on recognising that many of the research problems we, as medical educators, address are fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature. This represents a transition to bridge the dichotomy often presented in medical education between theory building and addressing practical needs.

It is unnecessarily complicated, long winded and USCIS provides extremely vague information to help. It is quite frankly a disgusting service that USCIS is providing, I can come here to marry, but it costs over 2500 dollars in filing fees, I am unable to work for another 3 months until the paper work is filied, I am unable to afford health Insurance because I am not allowed to work. I can't leave the country to visit relatives, all the while being referred to as an alien.

In my calling over the past years, I would say more than 50% have been rude. There were some good agents of course. Why am I saying this? Today, I met Sara who answered my call. She was a perfect specimen of rudeness and refusing to give straight answers, and twisting the information I gave her, to give me total nonsense answers which were totally not related to what I was asking her. She intentionally put me on hold for a couple of minutes each time, when I pressed my issue, hoping that I would go away, but finally, when she knew I was not going to just fade away, she hung up on me. This has happened quite a few times with the NVC and USCIS agents on the phone. The whole departments should be shaken down and reshaped. If these agents do not want this job, move them out. If they do not want to give legal and qualified immigrants their visas, then just say so. If they plane do not like foreigners, also say so. No problem, but do not cheat the people and give them the run around for years, and claim their cases were lost and ask them to apply over and over again.. This is at called at best, fraudulent practice. unanimoushttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901068906447067309.post-38165722802029608232014-11-26T10:15:14.281-05:002014-11-26T10:15:14.281-05:00Is Approved H1B transferable from company A to com...Is Approved H1B transferable from company A to company B?

However, since I filed from abroad, I am not entitled to deferred action, like other U visa applicants who filed inside the US. On top of that, all of us are left in the dark in terms of when we will be receiving our visa: the USCIS does not post information on the I-918 backlog, for instance. In my case, I feel that applicants abroad should be entitled to equal access to immigration benefits (i.e. the right to deferred action, just as approved applicants filing from the US). Is there a way to redress such grievance? For example, petitioning the USCIS?

By the way, my experience with the USCIS has been pretty smooth so firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901068906447067309.post-64060995516400555442014-08-11T17:01:18.178-04:002014-08-11T17:01:18.178-04:00It took the Baltimore Maryland executive office fo...It took the Baltimore Maryland executive office for immigration

EB2 India applicants whose center is Nebraska, are getting their cases being considered faster than those at the Texas service center. This way, people who are current in the August bulletin will not get their applications considered since NSC would have already consumed the numbers (of available visas. The processing is extremely slow more than double the applications are already processed in NSC since Jul so far. Can this issue be looked into on a priority as otherwise the people who have waited long will need to wait still longer than the ones who already got their applications through.

I've submitted my #N-400 application at the very beginning of this year(2014). Everything seemed to be moving along just fine. The online case status said on July 7th, 2014 my application was scheduled for interview. Towards the middle of July as I never received the letter, I called several times . I got the same response each time " can't see anything on our end wait 30 days from that date " I called once more and I was told to wait until August 7th and give them a call then. NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER I called national customer service once again on the 7th of August as I was instructed by customer service agents. Only to find out that my appointment was scheduled for the 5th of August. As I was talking to one of the " Immigration officers " I was told that I have to reschedule it again and it can take 30 to 60 days. At the same time I was told by that same officer to TALK TO MY MAIL Man. This is absolutely unacceptable by any standards. It seems that letter was never sent to me to begin with and now I am given a runaround . Supposedly she sent some sort of a request to reschedule . I have no confirmation of such action as of yet. I called in once again perhaps to talk to someone who can actually do something. This time around it was a man on the line that sounded as if I woke him up or interrupted something important that he was doing. I accomplished once again absolutely nothing . So now I have no information as for when and if my appointment is rescheduled . I have pushed all of my traveling plans as far as I could because of this. My green card is expiring in about a month so is my driver's license. I can't renew my license without renewing the green card. oh and to renew my green card I have to pay once again and of course it takes time for it. It's interesting how the check that I sent along with my N-400 application was processed almost immediately but now that through no fault of my own I found myself in this situation there's nobody to talk to about it and everything takes months to process. This is absolutely ridicules and unacceptable.

Aside from being miss-informed/ miss -led , whether intentionally or not by USCIS employees, I feel mistreated. I was talked to and treated as some sort of a fool. I have done my due-diligence to get this resolved on time before it came to this.

So please do your due diligence and take corrective actions .
I request , that if anyone in charge of the customer service and oversees the above procedures to please contact me and correct this issue.

First off all let me start by saying the ISO at the phones are there just to make others life impossible and the only thing they are trained to do is to tell you to wait 15,30,45,60 days. My family member applied for his green card. On May 16 2014 we received a letter saying they had send a letter with a deadline and that they were waiting for response. We call the number in the letter and we were told to wait while they will send a request to the office had send the letter. While waiting 15, then 30days I decided to make him an appointment and sit face to face with an immigration office who told him the letter had been a mistake, for our surprise 12 days latter we received a denial of his green card due to abandonment since he did not responded to the letter in question. First of all, we called over and over when we first found out the letter might have been lost in the mail, and the only response from the UCIS was to wait. How hard is to resend a letter? Now his application is denied after he paid over $1000, and in order to appeal they ask another $630 when the mistake is all theirs. THiS IS INEXPLICABLE! WE FEEL VICTIMS OF THE System. I am an american citizen myself and my process went pretty smooth but in his case there has to be some kind of mistake and a very bad job from the USCIS officers. If anyone who can help is reading this please HELP!

I received a yellow letter before the interview to bring documentation of a few minor traffic infractions I mentioned in my naturalization application out of honesty. The naturalization guidance is very clear that applicants are not supposed to provide any documentation relating to minor traffic infractions if they were not durg or alcohol related, did not result in actual imprisonment and the fine amount was less than $500. None of my event met the above criteria and I should not have been asked for any evidence to begin with. However, I had to collect all these records from courts and take them with me to the interviewing officer. The officer did not even pay any attention to my case and left the case pending for further review. I don't like this as my wife and I were together and she made a request for our oath together. She got her recommendation right away and is already lined up for the oath. Any recommendations?

Why so long for a travel document? Specially knowing that is is only valid for one year and I plan this trip since last year. I am very frustrate I need to get a VISA for the countries I will be going to, and this is a good 3 weeks process. If I do not get my Travel Document within a week I am totally OVER, OVER. 6 month for a Travel Document is way to long. Please stop sleeping and do some work.
Also the customer service agents are not useful at all, they can never help. they just repeat what the computer already said, so what is the point ?

When I asked if I could repeat just to be sure he hanged up the phone. I have never been treated like this before and I have never been rude. Is the staff well aware that some people who are not English native speakers (obvious at the USCIS) cannot have the same eloquence and they therefore need to be more patient?

Do you have Hafele blind corner pull outs?
I'm searching for the perfect corner cabinet option. Saw the Magic Corner II by Hafele but ...omg... was in shock at the price shown for all the parts (the base + 2 sets of drawers seemed about $2k)!
Does anyone have these? Are they really that expensive?
And are they worth it? As in... do you get that much more storage than in something like the Korner King lazy susan/drawer combo or even the Ikea kidney shaped pull out?
Of course, I dont know how pricey those are either... yet!
Yes, the good ones are 1-2K. When you have a mechanism trapped there and can't remove it, it really pays to not have gone with one with poorer quality hardward.
The better choice, if have the 48" of room that one of those organizers need, is to look for a 36" Super Susan for your corner. It's the most efficient use of space with the easiest access. It's cheaper too, but not by a whole lot.
List for Magic Corner 2 mechanism is 1530 to 1530, stores 1080 sq ins- don't put a drawer above it, not the best thing for feild install.
A better choice is the Hafele Lemans units- list $870- stores either 884" or 1057 (the one that takes the same wall space as the MC 2- do NOT get the smallest one unless you have no choice) Easier to use with aging back, more flexible storage, can still have a drawer, can be feild installed easily. You have to watch the direction that they swing out if near a range. There is a limiter that can keep it from hitting a range if it must be placed there.
An alternative are the Rev-A-Shelf half moon pullouts- Plastic ones list at $272, Wood 441. Again don't get the smallest, storage is less than Lemans but they pull out in a different direction.
Lemans is my first choice for blinds BUT final determination is made based on door opening and direction of swing/clearanc, and storage requirements.
I disagree that a super susan is the most efficient- depends on the layout.
When doing a susan, if I'm doing either frameless or inset I always use a Suzi Q- which has a slightly higher sq in than typical pie cut super susan but is easier to use.(Suzi Q is NOT field install ever)
If you're planning to age in place, then the corner susan is a better option.
(1) Everything is always in front, you just have to rotate the susan (very little effort) until the item you want is right in front of you and you simply remove it. No having to deal with a pullout that may or may not open smoothly.
(2) If you get a susan with the walls following the contours of the round shelves, nothing can fall off - ever. With a blind corner pullout, if something falls off inside the cabinet, you won't be able to close the pullout until you crawl inside to retrieve that item - I can't imagine trying to do that later in life if arthritis or other issues crop up. (My KD said that if you have one of those blind corners with or without a pullout, you should have a small child around to crawl inside the cabinet for you. She was joking, but I got her point immediately.)
If you insist on a blind corner, then spend the extra money to get a good/well-made pullout - most are cheap and have problems fairly quickly. This is one place, IMO, where you get what you pay for.
Well, I had to look up Suzie-Q, had never heard of it. I like the self-closing doors, but not the center pole. But it looks like it can be used with either framed or frameless cabs?
Karen, I'm in the same boat, but seriously considering the Super Susan option. I don't mind bending over as long as I'm not having to rummage in the dark. Having the hinged doors is a drawback, but not a dealbreaker for me.
(I'd prefer the door to rotate with the shelf, but seems like that only works with inset cabs.) I had a heart attack the first time I looked at the Hafele prices for these systems, too. But they are complicated and you sure want them to be reliable! Let us know what you decide.
I just put a Super Susan in my corner, and I love it (so far - it's only been a week, and I don't have countertops yet). I use it for my crock pot, rice cooker, mixer, waffle iron, large colanders (and it's not full). I couldn't have store all of those things with a pole in the middle. Mine is in a diagonal cabinet, so it's a full circle, which hold even more, but some people don't like the diagonal. Mine has a drawer above, where I have a knife insert.
The other corner in my kitchen is closed off completely, with drawers on each side. I gained so much new storage in my kitchen remodel that I didn't feel like I needed more space for things I don't use much. I would much rather have very efficient drawers that I use every day.
Another option is to put a stack of drawers in the corner. It all boils down to what you want to store there, and how you want to use the space on each side of the corner.
Here is a link that might be useful: corner drawers
IRL- so long as appropriate things are stored on any of these- no ceral boxes or tupperware- nothing should fall off. I've had a Suzi Q and a RAS half moon for 9 yrs with nothing ever falling off either one. The Lemans is as smooth as butter- perhaps the smoothest mechanism in a kitchen counting the drawers.
IF your serious about aging the Suzi Q is the most accessible from a wheel chair, Lemans is second. But that is another conversation that most folks my age prefer to ignore.
Having a pole in the center is overrated as a problem and pails compared to the added convenience. I actually prefer it as an aid if a lot of stuff is being put away and have yet to have it interfere or limit anything.
Typical price spread from cabinet company with pie cut super susan as a base- add 250-400 for Lemans, add 450 for Suzi Q ...BUT I know of one company that charges $300 less for the Suzi Q than a SS.
You may also consider a Korner King. However, it depends what you want to store in your corner cabinet. I have a super susan on one side, which is great for small appliances. I also really like my Korner King drawers which you may like for accessibility.
Here's my in-progress kitchen corner:

Rooting Sansevieria
Hi All,
Say, have any of you tried rooting a S. trifaciata leaf
cutting in water? It is faster than rooting in soil. Or maybe
it just seams faster as you can see the roots develope.
I have a cutting in soil that has just pupped for the first time
after 2 years of waiting! My fault the first year the cutting
was upside down, when I realised this I flipped it over and
waited again. Sans are amazing!
There was some debate about weather the leaves has to be up right. I guess you cleared that up. Myself, I have a hard time rooting leaves. No mater what, they just rot. Every once in a while I am successful but can't tell you why.
Well done! There are some good pics and info here and here.
I've only done the water thing once (with 2 leaves,) the leaf thing maybe a dozen times over the years and also can't decide if I think the water props were actually faster, or, as you said, being able to notice the slightest developments immediately made it seem so.
My latest experiment was putting 5 leaves in the ground in April. No pups yet... but it's been a very dry summer and these aren't being coddled with supplemental water. The plan was to give them away around this time, but IDK what I'll do with them now, probably wimp out (not being able to watch them freeze to death) and try to cram them into my house. There's already way too much, this is silly to even be doing.
I've sent plants to about a dozen people this fall, including the trimmed leaves that were too tall to fit in a box. Hopefully some of them will pop in here & talk about their exploits... Even if the connection comes from facebook, I always encourage visiting GW Sans forum!
The spot where these were in the ground since April ended up having less light than I thought it would. Dug up yesterday. They were buried about halfway, which in retrospect, was probably much more deep than necessary but I knew nobody would be watering them.
After digging these up after 6 months, it definitely went faster in water than this, and so much more fun to watch than glancing at leaf stumps buried in soil occasionally and observing, "Nope, nothing's changed whatsoever at all in any way..." What's it doing? No idea... Never had either way fail, but still, in soil's a total snooze. I don't propagate plants to do it in the most politically correct way, but to amuse myself. So much time elapsed between burial and excavation. Without x-ray vision, the exciting developments were not visible. End result = same, but level of amusement, vastly different.
For soil *or* water, let callous at least overnight, up to a few days.
In water, not enough experience to say what's ideal, but I chose to keep a steady 1/2-3/4 inch of water. That worked. Since it was a clear container, I could see the tiny pup as soon as it started forming, and it turned green from the start. Definitely amusing ;)
Thanks for the pictures of your outdoor experiment. Years
ago when I lived in Florida, I had Sansevieria Trifaciata in the landscaping. It grew like a weed. One day I went about wacking it back and I left a dozen or so leaves lying
on the lawn in the shade. I forgot about them and when I finally remembered the "debis" I found they had started to root them selves into the lawn! (you can grow anything in Florida, LOL)

how can I help my friends after loss of wife/mum
Hi, firstly Im very sorry everyone is hurting so much, big hugs to you all
my friend recently died. I was with her during her last
week. she was the most beautiful person inside and out
Her husband and boys are left to carry on somehow without
unfortunately I live states away from them. also although
I knew her well I do not know them as well (however I did
share the most traumatic week with them)
How could I best help them?
Id really like to do more for them
what really helps? especially for teens, boys and men
can I do things from states away?
If you could write about your friend, telling what made her special and also describing specific experiences the two of you shared, this is something her family could keep and treasure, particularly her sons. When they get older they'll want to know more about her, beyond her role as mother.
You could also offer to be available via email if they want to talk.
Good of you to want to help.
Keeping in touch with the grieving family is important. You don't need to be a family member to do this. Friends are a great source of comfort. I think that sometimes they are a better source as the other family members are struggling with their grieving, too. I hope I made sense. Carol
I agree with Carol. When you are grieving support from everyone is appreciated, you cannot get too much. Do you have any photos of your friend that maybe her family haven't seen? I'm sure if you copied them and sent them they would appreciate it. I did that for a friend of mine who lost her husband when her children were little but I didn't think about it until they were grown and they loved them especially the ones I had of them as babies with their father. Do everything you can for the family, I'm sure it will be welcome.

Should I replace my 30 yr old Weil Mclain hot water boiler?
We just did an energy audit on the house we moved into at the end of the year . The house was built in 1928.
The audit laid out what we could do to reduce the utility bills. The biggest thing is adding insulation and replacing the boiler to more energy efficient one.
There are some monetary incentives that the gov't is giving todo the insulation and the replacement of the boiler. The insulation will cost us about $2800 after $2000 rebate (supposedly will save us $700/yr for heating). The replacement of boiler is one that I have no idea. I called out plumber and haven't heard from him yet. The gov't rebate will be $1500 for a boiler with >96% AFUE rating (supposedly will save us $300/yr for heating).
We could just get the insulation but our boiler is over 30 years old now and I am afraid that it will go bad soon. And we could use %0 energy loan for both the insulation and the boiler if we are approved for the loan (we can get loan just one time - not one for insulation and another one for the boiler after we think about this for a while). We sort of have to get the insulation soon since they give you only a month to get your incentives after the audit.
I really don't know anything about boilers... Should we keep our fingers crossed and keep our boiler? It has work find past winter. It's distributed in 1981 (called Weil Mclain to find out). The BTU is 110000 and the living space in the house is 1850 sf with unheated basement and unfinished attic. The model # is CGM-5 with serial #7.
Are old boilers built better than what we will get now? What is the lifespan of a how water boiler? Does anyone know what it cost us to replace one with high efficiency as >96% AFUE rating? We live in greater boston area in MA.
Thank you so much!
Do you have a gas-fired boiler or oil-fired? (Note that if it is a cold fusion model, you should keep it because they don't make them anymore :-) ) I'd wait until you get all of your other improvements done. When you improve the heat-loss part of your improvements, you will have an over-rated boiler. They run more efficiently if they are well matched to the load.
Longevity depends somewhat on use and care. My dad is running a boiler that was installed in his newly-built house in 1959. It is in great shape. Dad's theory is that it held up partly because it is always hot since it supplies hot water as well as space heat. It is oil fired. It gets cleaned and tuned up annually.
Thank you, ionized for your comment. Mine is a natural gas boiler. I do have a separate water heater so i don't think my water is being heated all the time - during the warmer season, it's just the pilot light lit, I think. Our heating system is a cast iron radiator.
mike_home, I believe that the rebate is a MA specific thing - not sure if other sates have similar programs. You have to call and do the energy audit to quailty for the rebate. Anything done before the audit, you can't get the rebate. The gas company (NationalGrid) website had the energy audit information. The audit is paid by the gas company.

Phoenix Aviation Managers, Inc. and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Renew Exclusive Aviation Workers' Compensation Insurance Program
PR Newswire
KENNESAW, Ga., April 17, 2012
KENNESAW, Ga., April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix Aviation Managers announced today that it has renewed an exclusive agreement with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) to provide a workers' compensation program for the NBAA's Membership of more than 8,000 companies.
The NBAA Workers' Compensation Insurance Program was introduced in 2009 to provide access to high-quality coverage at competitive rates for NBAA Member companies. The program is independently underwritten by Phoenix Aviation Managers and its affiliate, Old Republic Insurance Company.
"We are delighted with the results of this insurance program. In addition to receiving competitive premiums, the participating NBAA Members earned a 20% cash dividend for two consecutive years due to the excellent loss experience of the group," stated Phoenix Aviation Senior Vice President and Workers' Compensation Manager Craig Benn.
All NBAA Members who operate aircraft are eligible for this insurance program regardless of size or Member category. This includes all size flight departments, from single aircraft operations to multi-aircraft flight departments. Policies cover everyone involved within the company's flight operation including pilots, maintenance technicians, flight attendants, flight department managers, aircraft operators and administrative personnel. In addition, there are provisions for companies using contract pilots, contract flight attendants and other contract crew.
NBAA Member companies that are not participating in the Workers' Compensation Insurance Program, but would like to know more should contact their insurance agent or visit www.nbaaworkerscomp.com.
Insurance coverage is provided by Old Republic Insurance Company. Dividends are declared by Old Republic's board of directors and are dependent upon the group loss experience and therefore cannot be guaranteed. Past dividend experience should not be used to predict future performance.

Phoenix Aviation Managers is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Republic International Corporation.

Balancing trust with engagement
It comes as no surprise that traditional media is typically more trusted than digital options, but this should not mean you focus your media monitoring efforts completely on one or the other. Recent studies have shown that engagement is a crucial factor in social and new media, making it an ideal platform for having conversations with consumers. Supporting traditional media campaigns on digital and social platforms is a good place to start, as it allows consumers to join in the conversation and share their own opinions on the content. According to a 2015 study by Radio Ad Lab (RAL), there are... continue reading

Stan Jones was keen to return home to Mossburn on Saturday night to boast to his wife, Bev of his win with Monachee in the $50,000 Dunedin Gold Cup at Wingatui earlier in the day.
''Bev is the racing guru in our family and I am a relative newcomer to ownership,'' Jones said. ''I can hardly wait to get home to talk about this win.''
Bev bred and raced O'Cartier, the winner of 16 races including the Challenge Stakes at Awapuni, Lightning Handicap at Trentham and Stewards' Handicap (dead-heat) at Riccarton.
Stan leased Monachee early last year and the mare has now won him four races including a Clare Memorial Cup at Omakau.
''She (Monachee) had been sent down to John and Karen Parsons as she would not carry condition and I leased her from a North Island syndicate,'' Jones said.
The daughter of O'Reilly and Kincia had won two races when trained at New Plymouth by Allan Sharrock, but had not been successful for 14 months when she came south.
Monachee settled back in the field over 2400m on Saturday and careered away in the closing stages to win by six and a half lengths. She was ridden by Kylie Williams who completed a notable double for the day on Ric O'Shea in the $75,000 Group III White Robe Lodge Handicap.
Williams added to her great record at Wingatui. She won the 2005 Dunedin Cup on Heureka and the 2007 White Robe Lodge Handicap on Pins 'N' Needles.
Williams rode four winners, including Final Touch in the Berkley Stud Stakes at Wingatui on Boxing Day, 2011 and brought up her 500th win on Davone Code on the same track in November.
Pins 'N' Needles, like Final Touch, was from the Parsons stable. Final Touch, winner of the Group I double, the Captain Cook Stakes and Telegraph Handicap at Trentham this season, races in the $200,000 weight-for-age Group I Waikato Sprint at Te Rapa next Saturday.
Ric O'Shea has now won seven of his 16 starts for Waikouaiti breeder Andy Denham. He is trained at North Taieri by Steven Prince, who won the 2004 White Robe with Volronamo.
Feilding jockey Darryl Bradley won four races, including the $50,000 Metalon (Dunedin Guineas) on Platinum Kingdom, on Saturday.
Bradley also won on Captain Kirk, Bremusa and Elite Street. Rachel Frost, the Otaki trainer of Captain Kirk was on her first visit further south than Riccarton.
Captain Kirk had bone chips removed from both front knees last year and he does most of his work at the beach.
Bradley was impressed with Platinum Kingdom, whom he was riding for the first time. He hopes to retain the mount on the Lisa Latta -trained gelding in the Southland Guineas on February 16.
The Invercargill Gold Cup the same day is on the programme for Monachee. The Parsons stable has won the Invercargill Cup six times.
Bradley was a replacement on Elite Street for Ryan Bishop, who was stood down after testing positive to a breath test for alcohol.
He was suspended for five weeks until midnight on March 11. He is free to ride at Motukarara today if he provides a clear sample.
Rebecca Black was suspended four days until midnight on February 22 for attempting to push out Robbie Rooster for 150m when riding Ashley in race four.

i like to do a forum but i cant :(
I think coding is the worst part but there are Tutorials out there (usually you can find them on forum hosting sites) and there are a few places that make skins for free. You can find buttons on those sites as well. But I suggest making them on your own. Coding is hard but if you can learn it, it comes in handy for other stuff as well. If you want the really good stuff though, you are better off buying it. It takes along time and effort to learn coding.
Being proficient in Photoshop is very important as well for enhancing the site. You don't want it to have crappy banners or such things like that.
For advertisement, the only real way to get noticed is to pay for it on an advertisement site. Free advertisement doesn't get looked at too often and gets clicked even less.
It takes alot of time to get a site up and running and even longer to get it moving.
i agree i have been trying to sort out my own forum and i had to edit a series of buttons to go with my skin. But there is a few problems there with just one certain page and i don't know what to do about it!!
Ok now that I got a friend to help me with a theme but he needs help , and I was just wondering could I get a little help from one of the moderaters.
It all depends on what forum style you use... most of them have sites with detailed answers to all your questions. i recommend buying your site domain and installing your forum, then going ahead and checking out the forums main site.

cut the stalk or no
i have white ginger stalks....not familar with terminology....but the stalk produces nice flowers with a great fragrance....when the flower dies do i cut the stalk or leave it....
In zone 10 conditions, you needn't cut off the old flowering stalks immediately, although if there are plenty of other new stalks yet to bloom, it doesn't hurt to do so. It really depends on whether you get regular freezes in your area, in which case cutting them back to the ground eliminates the need to do so after they are frost damaged. If you prefer to have that full look all through the winter, wait until March to cut them back, by which time there will probably be fresh new growth from the rhizomes.
I generally cut them off immediately if the plantings are very full, or wait until the winter rains and winds batter them, and remove at this time if they are looking too tattered. If they are still continuing to bloom and the foliage looks fresh, I leave them alone completely. With Hedychium coronarium, flavescens and gardnerianum, it really is up to you, and how they look through the winter in your microclimate.
the majority of my ginger plants didnt flower....should i cut the stalks anyway....do you have your ginger plants in full sun or partial....i noticed that the ones in partial sun do a lot better but the leaves still need improvement...do you know of a site on care of ginger plants....a ginger 101........
I feel that any green parts of the foliage left on can help to manufacture food for the rhizome. I've seen new Hedychium shoots come up only to be zapped by cold wind. If they're brown, I cut them. I'm in zone 9B. The wind damaged ones were near the bay.
You can do it either way. In nature, the dying stem and leaves provide nutrients for new shoots, but under cultivation fertilizer and mulch do the same thing. We usually cut our old stems out (heliconias and gingers) if we have the time, because it makes the clump look better. We always use the cut stems as mulch, so that recycles the nutrients back into the plant eventually anyway.

Before I begin, I'd like to thank all those who helped me fix a problem with some of my posts not displaying. Special thanks to Travis and also to Michael over at WP Candy. And all on Twitter. If you haven't used Twitter, then I recommend it.
Let's get started with Brand Tags, a simple, great idea from Noah Brier. Look at the brand and enter the first word that comes into your head. The collective results are displayed as a tag cloud: Continue reading this article

Thank you and all of you persona's for your interest Sherry Joe!
So how are the drug companies get wider use of their drugs without bribing doctors to use them for everything including possible hand washing.
They also might look into using the emulsifier limo service to transport chemo and other types of IV treatments into large and small tumors. Who knows where all of the different emulsifier go to or in this case go through. This should open up lots of new research and hopefully the ban of the ones with harmful attributes.
Hopefully someone already is investigating the connection since it was found in bladder cancer, I wonder if they might also be moving bacteria into the brain. They should immediately look into this in all cases of diseases with unknown causes.
"The team fed mice two very commonly used emulsifiers, polysorbate 80 and carboxymethylcellulsose, at doses seeking to model the broad consumption of the numerous emulsifiers that are incorporated into almost all processed foods. They observed that emulsifier consumption changed the species composition of the gut microbiota and did so in a manner that made it more pro-inflammatory. The altered microbiota had enhanced capacity to digest and infiltrate the dense mucus layer that lines the intestine, which is normally, largely devoid of bacteria. Alterations in bacterial species resulted in bacteria expressing more flagellin and lipopolysaccharide, which can activate pro-inflammatory gene expression by the immune system."
"Such changes in bacteria triggered chronic colitis in mice genetically prone to this disorder, due to abnormal immune systems. In contrast, in mice with normal immune systems, emulsifiers induced low-grade or mild intestinal inflammation and metabolic syndrome, characterized by increased levels of food consumption, obesity, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance."
You are showing that your are really stupid. 1% of 3,000,000 people? What did you do with the other 4,000,000? Joe. I really mean this. CONSUME LOTS OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE WITH EMULSIFIERS IN THEM.
The nuclear plant disaster is nothing compared to all the people around the world drinking beverages and eating processed food with emulsifiers in them. Now proof that they let bacteria get (Think Escorted) through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream and cause inflammation, weight gain, diabetes and COLON CANCER. They may also cause damage to the mucus lining of the bladder wall and cause bladder cancer that study is not complete. CORPORATE FOOD KILLS PEOPLE AND PETS!!!!!!
You only see a small part of what is going on. Please do some mind expanding LSD
Joe: et al. Please stop posting about YOURSELF!
I apologize for posting some positive news about treating patients in Hong Kong. I failed to realize that the 2.3 Billion PEOPLE that reside within a 3 hr plane ride of Hong Kong would never travel to a hospital in Hong Kong for life saving drug therapy. I also forgot that people in China pay for there own health care and there are only very poor people in Hong Kong and major coastal cities of China. As for CASI management saying that they would only start treating patients in 2015 well the Chinese new year was this week. Please reply Joe: et al. AKA Shortie.
Shouldn't you write the posts for your handlers BEFORE you start drinking and smoking weed?
SO Joe:et al, Stop the 3-6 years of clinical trials before any revenue starts to flow from CASI to SPPI by way of drug sales in China of the Spectrum U.S. FDA Approved Drugs! Follow up reporting will be all that will be required. Hong Kong Leads The Way.
Hong Kong Is NOT MAINLAND CHINA. It is a special free trade zone. No trials needed for drugs approved in at least TWO of the countries listed on the list. It is all about paperwork. This information was posted before and I told you that the two SPPI drugs were on the wholesaler available list. CASI orders drugs delivered to hospital and SPPI sales people will be there with CASI people to supervise and educate the doctors in HONG KONG. A Special Free Trade Zone WHICH IS NOT CHINA REGULATED.
Zack's is all about Short S _C-_ & UM. That you pay for
Amazing that only 1 thumbs up for posting the truth about Spectrum. This board is controlled by Joe the short and all his fake id's
SALES WILL IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY WITH HONG KONG OPERATIONS. You do not have to look out years for new drug approval for increases in earnings.
Should Read :Do Not Listen To The Shorts That Infect This Board, Like Joe:et al
The Free Trade Zone Which Is Hong Kong Allows The Sale Of Three SPPI Drugs And They Treat No One? SPPI Owns A Chunk Of CASI; A Company Which Has Never Made A Profit Ever Much Less Sold A Drug, Because They Have Nothing That Has Ever Been Approved. So SPPI Prevents Them From Going Bankrupt. Then SPPI Pays For The Introduction Of 3 Approved Drugs To The Market And Sends In A Sales Team That Knows How To Train Doctors, Use SPPI Drugs And Sell Them. Then What Happens Next, They Shut Down?
Do No Listen To The Shorts That Infect This Board, Like Joe:et al
