"I Am Sorry That It Has Come to This": A Soldier's Last WordsSubmitted by joey33 on Mon, 06/24/2013 - 04:45
So sad.
Daniel Somers was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was part of Task Force Lightning, an intelligence unit. In 2004-2005, he was mainly assigned to a Tactical Human-Intelligence Team (THT) in Baghdad, Iraq, where he ran more than 400 combat missions as a machine gunner in the turret of a Humvee, interviewed countless Iraqis ranging from concerned citizens to community leaders and and government officials, and interrogated dozens of insurgents and terrorist suspects. In 2006-2007, Daniel worked with Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) through his former unit in Mosul where he ran the Northern Iraq Intelligence Center. His official role was as a senior analyst for the Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and part of Turkey). Daniel suffered greatly from PTSD and had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and several other war-related conditions. On June 10, 2013, Daniel wrote the following letter to his family before taking his life. Daniel was 30 years old. His wife and family have given permission to publish it.
I am sorry that it has come to this.
The fact is, for as long as I can remember my motivation for getting up every day has been so that you would not have to bury me. As things have continued to get worse, it has become clear that this alone is not a sufficient reason to carry on. The fact is, I am not getting better, I am not going to get better, and I will most certainly deteriorate further as time goes on. From a logical standpoint, it is better to simply end things quickly and let any repercussions from that play out in the short term than to drag things out into the long term.
You will perhaps be sad for a time, but over time you will forget and begin to carry on. Far better that than to inflict my growing misery upon you for years and decades to come, dragging you down with me. It is because I love you that I can not do this to you. You will come to see that it is a far better thing as one day after another passes during which you do not have to worry about me or even give me a second thought. You will find that your world is better without me in it.
I really have been trying to hang on, for more than a decade now. Each day has been a testament to the extent to which I cared, suffering unspeakable horror as quietly as possible so that you could feel as though I was still here for you. In truth, I was nothing more than a prop, filling space so that my absence would not be noted. In truth, I have already been absent for a long, long time.

Albert Camus — 'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.'
I've gone through severe
I've gone through severe depression, and it makes sense to just finish your life, especially if you have no chance at a decent future. Let the scumbags left behind deal with the situation.
It wouldn't be so bad if US civilization worked according to the divinely inspired US Constitution. You would still have a chance at a decent life after military service.
Congress critters saw to it life is going to be hell on Earth. I fault no one who takes their own life at this point in time. I just wish they would take a congress critter with them.
I've recovered from my depression, and just laugh at the whole situation these days. But then again, I have no family to worry about, except for the spite I want for those that deserve it.
Glad to hear that you
Glad to hear that you recovered from your depression. I was never in the military so I can't really imagine what it is truly like to come back from that.
I see a lot of young adults that have a difficult time finding their purpose in life. I can only imagine how much harder it is to find purpose after coming back from war.
I am fortunate enough to feel a great sense of purpose. I believe that that is the key to living a good life. I encourage everyone I meet to strive to find their purpose.
Perhaps the saddest thing about war is that it forces a person to go against their ideals, morals, and values. It is hard for a person to go on in life knowing that they went against their principles when it really came down to life and death. But people do what they have to do to stay alive. We can't really help it. All we can really do is help others to not make the same mistakes. I don't really know.
I won't pretend that I understand, but I think we should all try our best to do so.

EPIRBs - Who's comin'?
Poke around the COSPAS-SARSAT website and you will find nice diagrams of the system and an explanation of how it works. EPIRB goes off, satellites pick up the signal and relay it to "Mission Control Centers", "Rescue Coordination Centers", or "Search and Rescue Points of Contacts" who will arrange to have your soggy butt pulled from the drink.
That's all well and fine and good for those nestled in the motherly embrace of the USCG or similarly well-trained and equipped rescue armadas. We know it's them who're coming. But what about out there in the middle of the Deep Blue or off the coasts of some of the less enlightened bits on the political map? Who's going to come pick you up out there? A warship? A passing tanker? A couple of local saints in a fishing boat?
Thanks in advance!

Conservancy Approves Artist's Plan to Drape Central Park in Fabric
By ROBIN POGREBIN
Published: December 19, 2002
A scaled-down version of a plan by the artist Christo to festoon 26 miles of Central Park's walkways with swatches of translucent saffron-colored fabric has been given a crucial vote of support by the Central Park Conservancy, which helps manage the park.
The project, which would be installed in February and remain in place for two weeks, still awaits approval by the city's parks department, but the vote on Monday by the Conservancy's board is significant. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, too, has said he supports the project, making approval by the parks department likelier.
The project was rejected in 1981 in the wake of vehement opposition to what was seen by critics as a gross intrusion into the city's most beloved and important green space.
This time, a ''policy statement'' approved by a majority of the park conservancy's board concluded that the project ''could move forward without damage to the park and without impeding the recreational use of the park by the public,'' provided that issues including financing and security were resolved.
Evelyn H. Lauder, who serves on the conservancy committee that studied the project, said: ''My position has always been caution in terms of ecological impact. All those problems have been answered by them. So I'm very happy because I think it is a very exciting and dynamic possibility.''
In a much-chronicled career, the Bulgarian-born artist and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, have wrapped the German Reichstag and the Pont Neuf in Paris in cloth. They surrounded part of the coast of Australia in sand-colored fabric, hung an orange curtain across a gap in the Grand Hogback Mountain Range in Colorado and dispersed several thousand umbrellas across southern California.
The Central Park project would include a trail of thousands of rectangular steel gates, each 15 feet tall, supporting individual panels of billowing cloth that would outline the park's winding promenades. The gates would begin at the park's pedestrian entrances and continue at nine-foot intervals.
Among the Central Park Conservancy board members to vote in favor this time was Gordon J. Davis, who as parks commissioner 21 years ago rejected the project in a 107-page document that concluded the project was ''in the wrong place at the wrong time and in the wrong scale.''
Among those to vote against the project on Monday was Richard Gilder, an investment manager who pledged a $17 million challenge grant to refurbish the Great Lawn and is a conservancy founding trustee.
The conservancy's approval came with the condition that the work, known as ''the Gates project,'' undergo significant modification: construction and installation with no excavation; fewer than 7,500 gates rather than the 15,000 originally proposed; no interference with trees or sensitive park areas like the reservoir and Ramble; and minimal use of large trucks and forklifts. The board also stipulated that the February installation date replace the original October proposal.
The conservancy still wants more information on such issues as the project's financing, the impact on wildlife, and what will be done to keep parkgoers off grassy areas where bulbs are growing.
The project has been given new life in part because of support from the mayor, who has generally championed the importance of public art, particularly since the events of Sept. 11. Deputy Mayor Patricia E. Harris said it was premature to comment on the development.
Christo collaborates on his creations with his wife, and they finance their projects themselves from sales of Christo's work. Reached yesterday by phone at home in Manhattan, Jeanne-Claude said she was unaware of the conservancy's support. ''We don't even know that,'' she said.
To the artists, the process of seeking approval is part of the art itself. ''The negotiation is part of the artistic focus,'' Mrs. Lauder of the conservancy said. ''To eliminate obstacles is part of what they perceive as their process.''

In this work, a series of n-ZnO/p-GaN and n-MgZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions are designed and fabricated. The carrier transport and recombination mechanism is discussed based on electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, current–voltage (I–V) characteristics as well as energy band diagram. For ZnO device, the near-ultraviolet (UV) emission at ∼400 nm is attributed to the spatially-indirect, interfacial transition from ZnO conduction band minimum to GaN acceptor level. While for MgZnO diodes, their UV EL is independent on Mg composition, is thought to origin from the donor–acceptor pair (DAP) recombination in GaN layer. Our experiment results suggest that pure ZnO or MgZnO emission can hardly be achieved in n-(Mg)ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions, rational device design towards (Mg)ZnO exciton emission is more important in the further work.

Are your public school's textbooks lawful?
October 25, 2014
Gilbert's aren't – but will be soon now that the Gilbert School Board voted to have their science/biology books come into compliance (Read Townhall news coverage).
Some may remember that in 2012 Arizona passed a law I sponsored (SB1009) that gives preference, encouragement & support to childbirth & adoption over elective abortion in our public schools. Nonetheless, efforts to openly flout the law continue. Last January, for instance, the Tempe Unified School District ALMOST adopted a Planned Parenthood sex education curriculum that did not adhere to the law, but when 240 concerned parents showed up to support the law, they backed off somewhat and only adopted part of it. Alliance Defending Freedom and other groups got involved, as well.
Here's what's happening in Gilbert: Recently I learned from an involved parent that five out of the seven BIOLOGY and SCIENCE textbooks used in Gilbert Public School District are not law-abiding either. [Read more]

Ready for some good news about our economy?
Bio-science industries are thriving in Arizona – spurring economic growth and helping patients. For starters, here are the Bioscience companies and organizations just within DISTRICT 15:
Chromosomal Laboratories, Inc.; DNA Consultants; ErrorTec; John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital; Mayo Clinic Hospital; Noraxon; Pinnacle Transplant Technologies; PsyPharma Global; Science Care
And for a difference slice of the picture, check out these numbers RE venture capital and job creation in Arizona:
$182 million in NIH funding in 2013;
NIH grants awarded: 414
to obtain research and venture-capital for start-ups: 43 from Arizona's 3 universities from 2010-2013;
Arizona is home to 1219 bioscience business establishments
- NIH awarded $48 million to AZ companies from 2004-2009
- Venture capital firms invested additional $289 million during that period
- Annual wages averaging $71,277 compared to avg private sector of $35,702
- Clinical trials leading to breakthroughs for patients: colorectal cancer, heart disease, alzheimer's ('brain pacemaker'), valley Fever and infant pneumonia

Governor signs bill that could save lives of many Arizona women
(Phoenix, State Capitol)–Governor Jan Brewer has signed SB 1225 into law. This bill, sponsored by Senator Nancy Barto of Phoenix, would require health care providers to tell women if they have dense breast tissue. This, according to Senator Barto, will allow women to make the most informed decision possible when screening for breast cancer, and likely save many lives. [Read more]
Is Your Doctor Qualified? Ariz. Medical Board issues
October 24, 2013
As a patient you ASSUME your doctor was properly vetted before he began practicing medicine in Arizona and treating your family. That may not be the case. A recently released 192 page Ombudsman investigative report substantiated that the AMB's Executive Director Lisa Wynn and Deputy Director Amanda Diehl knowingly disregarded 28 licensing rules and statutes resulting in 2,041 physicians' licenses granted in Arizona over an 18 month period without proper vetting of their credentials – and thousands more renewing their licenses. Credentials like physicians' medical education, hospital employment, if they had any disciplinary actions pending and more.
You can thank the whistleblowers. [Read more]
Why repeal?
August 19, 2013
Why sign the petition to repeal the Obamacare Medicaid Expansion in Arizona?
- Expanding Medicaid in the states is the largest piece of Obamacare.
- Qualifying the petition effort puts the new taxes and Medicaid expansion ON HOLD until voters decide in Nov. 2014
- In last summer's ruling, the Supreme Court gave states the choice whether to expand Medicaid to the levels the Obamacare law prescribes. Like every other Republican-controlled state, Arizona should choose not to entrench the harmful law in our state.
- This expansion will increase abortions in Arizona. Read how here.
- This expansion of Government health care benefits the hospitals who stand to make BILLIONS from our tax dollars. [Read more]

…but government RULES keep getting in the way. State agency rules.

Verify the "Jungle Primary" Vote
August 18, 2012
You may have heard of the shenanigans the "Top -2 Primary" ballot initiative would cause if it becomes law in Arizona. It's an incumbent protection plan primarily (no pun intended) and virtually guarantees that no third party candidates would ever make it to a general election ballot. And that's just the beginning of sorrows.
So why the push now for an Open Primary system in Arizona? The short answer is, promoters believe the current Legislature is too conservative and this will moderate the candidates. Will it? Doubtful. Read Robert Robb's "Top – 2 Primary: No Magic Pill for Moderation." [Read more]
Doctor Wrong on Health-Care Law
July 11, 2012
Most Americans would agree with Dr. Leonard Kirschner that the federal health- care law is not perfect; they'd likely say it's a disaster ("Health-care law does good," Letters, Thursday).
Because insurers were forced to allow individuals under 26 to stay on their parents' policies and implement no-exclusions for children with pre-existing conditions, at least 34 states are no longer offering child-only policies, leaving many without affordable coverage at all and families with higher premiums.

How to Paint Confetti-Dotted Glass Vases
Bring color to your tablescape with these easy-to-make confetti-dotted vases.
Materials Needed:
- small glass vases
- opaque glass paint — 3 or 4 different colors
- elegant toothpicks (with a flat top)
- paper plate
Apply First Color
Wipe surface of vase with alcohol. Pick your first color and apply some to a paper plate. Put only a small dab since this paint dries quickly. Dip the flat end of the toothpick into the paint, and start dotting the bottom of the vase (images 1 and 2). You will eventually get a layered effect, so don't worry too much about spacing. Allow to dry for 10 minutes.
Apply Second Layer
Next, add a dab of your second color to the paper plate, and repeat the previous steps (image 1). Allow to dry for 10 minutes before moving on to the next color. Repeat the process for the rest of the colors until you get your desired look (image 2).
Allow to Cure or Bake
Let the paint air-cure for 21 days, or bake the vases in the oven to manufacturer's specifications. Bake it in a muffin tin to keep the vases upright.

<p> <i>All dollar references are in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.</i> </p>
Monday, May 03, 2010
BPO Properties Reports First Quarter 2010 Results and Announces Closing of REIT Transaction20:06 EDT Monday, May 03, 2010 TORONTO (Business Wire) -- BPO Properties Ltd. (BPP:TSX) today announced that in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $8.6 million or $0.09 per share, compared with a loss of ($1.6 million) or ($0.04) per share during the same period in 2009. Net income is largely impacted by changes to the company's fair value of properties and are reported as valuation gains or losses under IFRS. Last week, shareholders of BPO Properties approved the company's proposal to create Canada's pre-eminent office real estate investment trust (REIT) named Brookfield Office Properties Canada. The transaction closed on May 1 and units of Brookfield Office Properties Canada will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "BCR.UN" on May 5, following the delisting of the common shares of BPP. BPO Properties will continue to file interim and annual financial reports as the preferred shares of the company continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The BPO Properties results in this press release and all future results of Brookfield Office Properties Canada will be reported under IFRS. Historical results have been restated to IFRS for comparison purposes. A reconciliation of the results as reported in Canadian GAAP has been included in the company's supplemental information package available at:www.brookfieldofficepropertiescanada.com. Funds from operations ("FFO") was $26.4 million or $0.30 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared with $28.7 million or $0.31 per share during the same period in 2009. Commercial property net operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $50.9 million, compared with $42.6 million during the first quarter of 2009. The company's portfolio occupancy rate finished the quarter at 98.5% versus 98.6% at the end of last quarter. When including Bay Adelaide Centre which is considered an operating property under IFRS, portfolio occupancy at the end of the quarter would be 96.8%. OPERATIONS REVIEWLeased 405,000 square feet of space at an average net rent of $32 per square foot, which represents a 10% improvement versus the average expiring net rent of $29 on this space in the quarter. Renewals represent 58% of the total with new leases representing the remainder. Highlights include: Toronto – 251,000square feet A 15-year, 107,000-square-foot lease renewal with National Bank of Canada at Exchange Tower A new 10-year, 60,000-square-foot lease with Thomson Reuters at Bay Adelaide Centre A new 10-year, 17,000-square-foot lease with Barclays Bank PLC at Bay Adelaide Centre A new 5-year, 15,000-square-foot lease with Sandfire Securities at First Canadian Place Calgary – 146,000square feet A new 12-year, 39,000-square-foot lease with RBC Dominion Securities Inc. at Bankers Hall A 5-year, 31,000-square-foot lease renewal with Rogers Wireless Inc. at Altius Centre A 4-year, 20,000-square-foot lease renewal with Encana Corporation at Bankers Hall Other markets – 8,000 square feetHIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIRST QUARTER Extended the maturity of the $389 million construction loan at Bay Adelaide Centre for one year. The loan bears interest at Bankers Acceptance plus 135 basis points and matures in July 2011. This is the first extension option that the company can exercise with a second one-year option available upon achieving certain leasing criteria. OUTLOOK "Fundamentals in our biggest market, Toronto, are beginning to trend upward and rents are starting to grow," stated Tom Farley, CEO of Brookfield Office Properties Canada. "We are excited to move the company forward as Canada's premier office REIT." Net Operating Income and FFO This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income and FFO on a total and per share basis. Net operating income is defined as income from property operations after operating expenses have been deducted, but prior to valuation adjustments and deducting financing, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, valuation adjustments and income tax expenses. The company defines FFO as net income prior to extraordinary items, one-time transaction costs, depreciation and amortization, valuation adjustments, future income taxes and certain other non-cash items. The company uses net operating income and FFO to assess its operating results. Net operating income is important in assessing operating performance and FFO is a widely used measure to analyze real estate. The company provides the components of net operating income and a full reconciliation from net income to FFO with the financial information accompanying this press release. The company reconciles FFO to net income as opposed to cash flow from operating activities as it believes net income is the most comparable measure. Net operating income and FFO do not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Forward-Looking Statements This press release, particularly the "Outlook" section, contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Although the company believes that the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information. Accordingly, the company cannot give any assurance that its expectations will in fact occur and cautions that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and information include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions; local real estate conditions, including the development of properties in close proximity to the company's properties; timely leasing of newly-developed properties and re-leasing of occupied square footage upon expiration; dependence on tenants' financial condition; the uncertainties of real estate development and acquisition activity; the ability to effectively integrate acquisitions; interest rates; availability of equity and debt financing; the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on the company's accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results, including changes in accounting policies adopted under IFRS; and other risks and factors described from time to time in the documents filed by the company with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States, including in the company's Annual Information Form under the heading "Business of BPO Properties Ltd. – Company and Real Estate Industry Risks," and in the company's annual report under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis." The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Planter problems
I have had some ammonia problems lately. The only thing that had changed in regards to the pond, was that I had repotted my water lilies in July. I started pulling up their pots and just above the cat litter line was a hazy white scummy coating. I carefully lifted them out so as not to spill any of the very stinky water back into the pond. I rinsed them out thoroughly and put them back in. Ammonia levels quickly dropped to zero. I figured I would take them out every two weeks and rinse them until I figured out how to repot them properly. It's been two weeks, and this morning was the first non zero ammonia reading, it's .25.
So, can someone advise me on a better way to pot these things up? I have each one in a plastic tub and have zip tied a plastic basket with big openings over the top of each one to keep the koi from rooting around in there. The tubs are filled with cat litter, which I had rinsed out well. When I initially re-potted them in July, there was lots of rotting matter in there that I cleaned off. I also put a jobs fertilizer stick in each one, which I had never done before.
This summer has been very eye-opening for me. I learned that all those years I didn't do water testing and didn't do many water changes, I haven't been right, I've been lucky. The more I learn, the more amazed I am that I have never lost fish in the 11 years I have had them (until this summer, that is, which was my first clue that I have been oh-so-wrong).
Anyway, I digress. What am I doing wrong? After lots of forum reading, I thought I was doing the right thing with my plants.
hi there
i pot all my lillies & waterplants in openweave planters that are for waterplants.
line it with newspaper then 3/4 fill with a heavy loam soil ( no additives like no organic material) that could float.
then put in a waterplant fertiliser tablet near where the roots will be.
plant the plant a bit more heavy soil. then some clean riversand then largish pebbles or small rocks to stop the fish from disturbing anything.
it seems to work well. no problems at all, no ammonia problems, and the plants grow well
hope that helps.
i have heard that kitty litter can float around so i have never been tempted to use it.

Quart carefully shaped her opinion of the matter in such a parti
Quart carefully shaped her opinion of the matter in such a particular and urgent way, one that makes me incredibly aware of my surroundings. Being a teenager transitioning to a young adult, I'm more aware of what is "appropriate to wear" and what isn't. Most of the appropriate wardrobe is that of expensive brand names, to somehow fit myself into this box of some image that really isn't me. She elaborates on the media's conniving ways of getting their brands and names out there, almost in a sickly obsessive manner. Quart presents an important issue that is one I will always be aware of.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Latics to aid N'Diaye recovery
Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:08:00
Hristo Stoichkov has resigned as coach of CSKA Sofia after only a month in charge of the troubled Bulgarian club.
The former European Footballer of the Year said he had lost faith in the owners and their "endless lies".
"I'm fed up, I'm leaving," the former Barcelona striker said in a letter addressed to local media.
"I agreed to start coaching without a contract and I had a great desire to help.
"I had the support of the players and my staff. We endured until it became clear there's no chance of promises being fulfilled," added Stoichkov, who didn't attend CSKA's training sessions in the last 10 days.
CSKA, the most successful Bulgarian club with 31 league titles, turned to crowd favourite Stoichkov last month for their fourth coach of the year.
Stoichkov, who won three league titles and four national cups as a CSKA player in the 1980s, received a rapturous welcome as thousands of fans cheered him and let off flares during the club's first pre-season training session.
But the problems quickly followed.
Only two weeks later, the owners said in a surprise statement on the club's website that they had transferred all their 6.5 million shares to the 47-year-old Stoichkov, although the deal has yet to be concluded.
Stoichkov also said that several businessmen were ready to start financing the Reds but the owners had prevented the change of the ownership.
"It is not my understanding of fair, transparent and professional work," said Stoichkov. "This is no way to achieve high goals if there's no respect between players, coaches and officials on the one hand, and the club owners on the other.
"Lies cannot be endless and we cannot go forward. Or at least I can not so."
The AZ Alkmaar striker revealed on Friday that a deal had been done and that he would be signing for Paolo Di Canio's side.
The 23-year-old has already experienced life in the Premier League after spending a spell on loan with Hull City back in 2009/10, scoring one goal in 28 appearances.
However, his reputation has blossomed since then and the powerful player scored 31 goals for AZ in all competitions last season.
The USA forward's arrival is just the latest in a series of acquisitions by Di Canio as he looks to overhaul a squad he inherited from predecessor Martin O'Neill.
The Black Cats unveiled Bosman free signings Valentin Roberge, Cabral and Modibo Diakite last week having also added youngsters Duncan Watmore and David Moberg Karlsson to the mix, and the Italian has a series of other targets in his sights.
Former Senegal international N'Diaye was brought on at half-time in Friday's pre-season friendly against Dinamo Bucharest but was soon stretchered off with a hamstring injury.
Latics boss Lee Johnson had been running his eye over the striker on trial and remains keen to give him a second chance.
Captain James Wesolowski missed the 2-2 draw altogether with a tight hamstring while Luke Simpson, Carl Winchester and Chris Sutherland also sat out due to injury.

Very good in chocolate or on your morning oats. Use it a lot instead of raisins, because they contain less sugar.
Great food, great customer service
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3217429 on May 18, 2008
I've eaten goji berries from another company and when I received these form iHerb, I didn't think they were as fresh. The company was great, however, and sent me another bag. The 2nd bag was the same, with a quick crunch before the chewiness. They have a nice, mild flavor- I'd say a cross between a raisin and a cranberry. They can be eaten as is or mixed into food. I've given them to others at work to try and they like them as well. I've purchased other products from iHerb as has my husband. They stand by their products and have great customer service. I will continue to purchase from iHerb. Customer service and quick responses are an important feature of online companies and they are top-rated in my book!

watermelon plant with fruit; leaves going yellow! why?
the plants. are grown in a grow bag in an unheated greenhouse. they're watered daily
they started to go yellow at the bottom of the vine when fruit first set. I feed weekly with a basic feed (cheaper miracle grow (wilkos own make)) I hqve given blood and bonemeal In the hope it's nitrogen deficiency.
thw melon variety is Jubilee
that very well may be also, and most mildew is also a result of far to much moisture...there are a at least two other gardeners that have mildew infestations, as yet i have been very lucky and have not yet had to deal with mildew. i have slugs and earwigs...eating my poor pumps. a mildew is a coating on the leaves, and your leaves look as if the discoloration is internal, part of the flesh. is there a dust or spore from the leaves when you touch them or pat with a white towel?

Curry Leaf Bug
My curry leaf plants (all in pots) have got a nasty bug that causes the leaves to bubble. I think they have Citrus psylla. I've used organic insecticides like Biogrow's "Neudosan" and Margaret Roberts Garlic extract and Canola oil mix, but these have not helped. Please advise what else I can do. Thanks
Shamin: we have the asian citrus psyllid here; and i think you're right the immature forms of psyllid can look like scale; which it does. noticed that you're in South Africa, and I am not as familiar with the african citrus psyllid; I would be very careful especially if you have any citrus trees around.
sad to say given the extent of damage and pest infestation, it might be better to destroy the plant (burn). psyllids are bad news, and can spread HLB.

Progressive Media Advocates
By Tom Hall
Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Steve Hochstadt: The Republicans in Congress, virtually all of whom publically deny that climate change is occurring, have just proposed a budget which cuts or reverses all the programs which might reduce the pace of warming.
Joe Mathews: Thanks to Xi Jinping, Chinese millionaires have propped up the state's sagging real estate market, universities, and companies.
