I liked how this was way better that a typical La Quinta.
Nice room, comfortable beds, and a very good hot tub.
Could have more choices for breakfast.
The rooms were really clean, the staff was really helpful, and the room was relaxing and quiet. A very nice hotel for only 2 stars
This Super 8 far exceeded our expectations! The rooms were very clean and modern. The bed was extremely comfortable, I got the best sleep I have had in a while. Staff was friendly and for the price the breakfast was great.
It was clear to see that the room had been recently updated; however, the shower could use some updating next. The drain cover was broken and the metalwork was a bit rusty. Overall not a huge deal, but worth noting.
The shower. It was large and had multiple shower heads.
It was not easy to locate in the dark. The sign was fairly small and looked like the drive would go into a different business.
Very clean .... Staff very nice
Sheets & towels were soiled & very thin & hard, no elevator, we called & requested a handicap room, given rooms upstairs, rug was stained, guests were in the hot tub with alcoholic beverages for a long time, refrigerator kept running. BAD EXPERIENCE!
location and staff where very good
the carpet in the rooms needs to be scrubbed and so did the window....bathroom was clean
The hotel is a little worn, but is very clean. The restaurant within walking distance was a nice option.
Nothing! This was one of my birth experiences ever. The bed was horrible I could not sleep I thought I was in bed bugs. My computer got hacked into. My cell phone hotspot got hacked into. Horrible horrible horrible this was not a two star hotel this with
Don't go there
Clean. Breakfast. Store with food. Coffee maker in room.
It was close to nearby towns and off highway.
The hotel itself smelled of smoke even though it was smoke free; The staff was very kind and informative. I think considering the rooms can go as high as $--- a night there needs to be a cleaning and update to really improve the overall feel of hotel.
Nothing it smelt horrible and was not really clean.

Arizona Coyotes
NHL announces cancellation of games through November 30
The NHL lockout has led to the cancellation of regular season games through November 30.
The league made the announcement Friday, meaning more than a quarter of the games have been lost in the labor dispute.
The Phoenix Coyotes, who had already seen eight games canceled, saw another 12 bite the dust with Friday's announcement.
They include:
11/2 @ Ottawa
11/6 @ Montreal
11/8 @ Dallas
11/10 vs Buffalo
11/13 vs San Jose
11/15 vs Carolina
11/19 vs Anaheim
11/21 vs Edmonton
11/23 vs Colorado
11/24 @ Colorado
11/27 @ Detroit
11/30 @ New Jersey
That brings the total to 20, with an even split of 10 home games and 10 away games.
In total, 326 regular-season games have been canceled.
According to the league, the cancellation of games was necessary because of the absence of a collective bargaining agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL.

Saving Auburn Avenue
Atlanta's Auburn Avenue was once a bustling corridor lined with Black-owned banks, night clubs, churches, meat markets and funeral homes, but as the Associated Press reports, the historic neighborhood never fully recovered following the end of state-mandated segregation as many Blacks left for new neighborhoods previously unavailable to them. For the second time since 1992, Auburn Avenue, also Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth home, was added last week to the National Register of Historic Places' Most Endangered list for 2011. Many residents say this designation is the final chance to protect the street's fading legacy. — Britt Middleton (Photo: AP Photo/David Goldman)

The invention provides a dimerized fatty acid with a content of dicarboxylic acid of at least 97.5 wt. %, preferably at least 98.5 wt. %.
Also provided is a process for the preparation of a pure dimerized fatty acid in which a fatty acid that has been dimerized is freed, by a physical method, of fractions having predominantly monocarboxyic acids and tricarboxylic acids.
The invention further provides a high molecular weight polymer which contains groups derived from a C4 -C12 dicarboxylic acid and approximately equimolar amounts of dicarboxylic acids and diamines and/or diols which are converted while volatile reaction products are removed.
1. A polymer that contains groups derived from dimerised fatty acid, in which the dimerised fatty acid groups consist of at least 97.5 wt. % of dicarboxylic acid radicals.
2. A high polymer according to claim 1, in which the dicarboxylic acid groups are built into a polyamide.
3. A polyamide according to claim 1, in which the polyamide contains groups of a C2 -C9 alpha-omega-diamine.
4. A high molecular weight polymer according to claim 1, in which the dicarboxylic acid groups are built into a polyester.
5. A high polymer according to any one of the claims 1, 2 or 4, in which the polymer also contains groups derived from a C4 -C12 dicarboxylic acid.
6. A high polymer according to claim 1, in which the polymer contains in the chain not only amide groups but also ester and/or ether groups.
7. A process for the preparation of a polymer according claim 1, wherein approximately equimolar amounts of dicarboxylic acids and diamines and/or diols are converted with each other while volatile reaction products are removed until the desired polymer has been obtained, characterized in that the dicarboxylic acid consists at least partly of dimerised fatty acids having a content of more than 97.5 wt. % dicarboxylic acid.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/083,195, filed Aug. 10, 1987.
The application relates to dimerised fatty acids having a high content, i.e. at least 97.5 wt. %, of dicarboxylic acid, as well as to polymers which contain groups derived from such pure dimeric fatty acids. As such polymers, especially polyamides, polyesters, polyester-amides and polyether-amides are meant, but also polyurethan for example.
The commercially available dimerised fatty acids mostly contain approximately 15 to 25 wt. % trimer (T) and higher oligomers and 1 to 5 wt. % monomer (M) and the remainder is often regarded as dimer (D). The terms monomer, dimer and trimer are in this case based more on the molecular weight than on the functionality, i.e. the number of carboxyl groups per molecule. Therefore, a dimeric fatty acid that has lost a carboxyl group through decarboxylation is regarded here as dimer (D), while according to the present application it does not count as dicarboxylic acid but, on the contrary, is regarded as monocarboxylic acid.
Furthermore, from GB-A- 999 732 (General Mills Inc.) purified polymeric fatty acids are known which are "water white" and have a relatively high content of dimer (D), as that is determined by short way distillation of polymerised fatty acids according to Paschke (J.A.O.C.S. 31 (1954), 5-7). According to this method, however, among other things a certain amount of cracking of the residue takes place, as a result of which the percentages of trimer determined in this way are lower than in reality. A more reliable method of determining the contents of monocarboxylic acid, dicarboxylic acid and tricarboxylic acid is by means of gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) as described in the thesis of M.J.A.M. den Otter, The clay-catalyzed dimerisation of oleic acid, pages 52-55, Technische Hogeschool Eindhoven, The Netherlands, 1968.
The methodology of GLC determination described in this thesis was also used according to the present application and gives values which are directed to the number of carboxyl groups rather than to the molecular weight. The percentages of trimer in the British patent application cited are consequently considerably lower than the percentages of tricarboxylic acid which are determined by the GLC method and differences of several percent have been observed. The percentages of trimer mentioned in this patent application on page 7 are considered to be unrealistically low and the products mentioned there are consequently not damaging to the novelty of the dimeric fatty acids having a weight percentage of more than 97.5 or of the 98.5 of dicarboxylic acid according to the present invention. Also in EP-A- 22 048 (Rhone Poulenc Ind.) polyamides are disclosed which are based on hydrogenated, fractionated, polymerised fatty acids which are said to contain more than 95% by weight of "dimer". These polyamides allegedly have favourable properties like: homogeneity, transparency, toughness, hydrolysis stability and thermal resistance.
The present application now claims rights for, inter alia, a dimerised fatty acid having a dicarboxylic acid content of more than 97.5% by weight, preferably more than 98.5% by weight, more preferably more than 99.0% by weight. Dimerised fatty acids having such high contents of dicarboxylic acid can be obtained by fractionation, with a physical method, of a fatty acid that has been dimerised according to a method known per se until a fraction has been obtained having the desired percentage of dicarboxylic acid.
For the dimerisation of fatty acids, as a rule unsaturated fatty acids--or mixtures thereof--are used which contain 16 to 22 carbon atoms in the molecule.
The dimerisation normally takes place at temperatures between 180� and 270� C. under water vapour pressure and in the presence of approximately 2 to 10% clay catalyst. This process is also described in GB-A-1 050 148 (General Mills Inc.). The fractionation of the dimerised product can be effected in various ways, but distillation under high vacuum at increasing temperature (molecular distillation) is a suitable method. Extraction methods can also be used, in particular supercritical extraction. Optionally, the dimerised fatty acid can also be hydrogenated, as described, for example, in GB-A- 999 730.
The present application furthermore claims rights for polymers, particularly high polymeric materials, in which dimerised fatty acid having a percentage of more than 97.5, preferably more than 98.5% or more preferably even more than 99.0% of dicarboxylic acid has been incorporated. This dicarboxylic acid that, depending on the starting fatty acid, contains from 32 to 44 carbon atoms in the molecule, imparts to a high polymer, in the purity mentioned, an exceedingly favourable combination of mechanical properties, such as a good tensile strength and elasticity, good low temperature impact resistance and the good dimension stability because of low water absorption. Thus it has been found, for example, that the tensile strength of a polyamide based on hexamethylenediamine and dimer having 99% dicarboxyl acid is much better than that of a corresponding polyamide based on dimer having 95% dicarboxylic acid; also with respect to flexibility, the first polymer is better than the second.
In order to obtain favourable properties in the polyamide, for e.g. hot-melt bonding, it is sometimes desirable to prepare polyamides with combinations of diamines, for example combinations of ethylenedamine (EDA) and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA), namely in ratios of 20/80 to 80/20, preferably in ratios of 60/40 to 40/60 molar.
Also aromatic amines like piperazine can be used in addition in order to obtain special effects. As a rule the diamine contains 2 to 9 carbon atoms. For high-quality plastics it is particularly advantageous to include caprolactam in the polyamide.
Besides the pure dimer according to the present invention, another (co-) dicarboxylic acid can be used. Suitable dicarboxylic acids are particularly those which contain between 4 and 12 carbon atoms, both aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids being suitable. Here the molar ratio between dimeric acid according to the invention and other dicarboxylic acid lies between 20/80 and 80/20, preferably between 60/40 and 40/60. Besides diamines, also difunctional ether-amines and ester-amines or blocks thereof can be built in. Both high molecular polyamides and lower, reactive polyamides having, for example, terminal carboxyl groups are encompassed.
The present application also provides polyesters, in particular high molecular polyesters, which contain dimerised fatty acid according to the present invention, as well as C2 -C6 diols, optionally together with other above-mentioned dicarboxylic acids; polyether diols can also be incorporated in addition. For these high polymers, attention is drawn in particular to the favourable combination of a high melting viscosity and good flexibility. Besides high polymeric polyesters, the present invention also provides lower molecular polyesters having terminal carboxyl groups, which can be excellently hardened with polyepoxides to particularly good, flexible coatings.
The polymers, particularly the high molecular weight polymers, according to this embodiment of the invention can be prepared in a manner known per se by converting dimeric fatty acids having a high content of dicarboxylic acid (or a functional derivative thereof such as, for example, dimethylester) with at least one diamine/diol and/or ether diamine, optionally in the presence of another dicarboxylic acid, while removing the volatile components formed, such as water or methanol.
Unlike the case with the preparation of the conventional polymers, it is noticeable with this process that, during the cooking, there is little or rather no danger of the reaction mixture starting to gel and thus becoming unmanageable or of the molecular weight not being able to increase sufficiently because of the presence of too much monocarboxylic acid. For the preparation of high polymers, of course, equimolar amounts of dicarboxylic acid and diamine/diol and optionally ether diol are used, or sometimes a small excess of volatile reaction component, which excess is eventually distilled off.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples:
The commercially available dimerised fatty acid PRIPOL 1017, ex Unichema, Gouda, was separated via a so-called molecular distillation into a fraction which contained mainly difunctional fatty acids. The separation of the monofunctional material was carried out at a temperature of 240� C. and a pressure of 0.005 mm Hg, while hereafter the difunctional carboxylic acid was distilled over at a temperature of 280� C. and a pressure of 0.002 mm Hg. This fraction was hydrogenated with a Pd on carbon carrier as catalyst at a pressure of 2.5 MPa and a temperature of 180� C. for 5 hours. The hydrogenated product was subsequently separated again with the aid of a so-called molecular distillation apparatus. During the molecular distillation, first of all monofunctional fatty acids were separated at a temperature of 280� C. and a pressure of 0.001 mm Hg. In Table 1 the compositions of the most important products after the different process steps are summarized.
TABLE 1______________________________________ fraction after PRIPOL molecular distillation 1017 first time second time______________________________________less thandifunctional (wt. %) 7.1 2.5 0.5difunctional (wt. %) 72.0 93.5 99.0higher thandifunctional (wt. %) 2l.0 4.0 0.5iodine value (Weiss) 98 98 9______________________________________
A commercial product comparable with those described in BG-A-999 732 is PRIPOL 1010 (ex Unichema, Gouda), that has the composition as given in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________ PRIPOL 1010 (composition in wt. %)______________________________________less than difunctional 1.5difunctional 95.5higher than difunctional 3.0iodine value (Weiss) 6______________________________________
Polyamides were prepared from the above-mentioned purified, dimerised fatty acids. The process for the preparation of these polyamides is: reacting the dimerised fatty acid for 5 hours at 220� C. with an equivalent amount of diamine, using 0.03 wt. % phosphoric acid as catalyst and applying a vacuum of 20 mm Hg for the last hour.
The following polyamides were prepared (Table 3):

Concord triple shooting survivor charged with insurance fraud
The man who survived a triple shooting last July in Concord has been charged with insurance fraud, state officials say.
Timothy Crumitie, 48, of Concord, was charged Saturday with two counts of insurance fraud, according to the N.C. Department of Insurance. He was jailed under $75,000 bond.
Department of Insurance investigators allege that Crumitie filed fraudulent physician statement forms, in connection with a disability claim related to last year's shootings.
Crumitie's wife, Sharon, and James Blanks were killed at the Crumities' home. Timothy Crumitie was wounded. Police said that Crumitie told them that Blanks shot both him and his wife. Steve Lyttle

The New Essenes - via Emilio and Elevate the Soul
in Spirituality
The New Essenes is a gathering of ordinary people practicing deep introspection as a way to solve everyday problems. Our inquiry is based on the idea that language is alive and that the Word is where our Power lives: since speech is an act, communication is not what is said and done, but the result of what is said and done.
By joining in and coming back, we increasingly benefit from the distilled essence of an ultimate method of inquiry, based on Sacred Geometry and known as the Path of XPR.
Our meetings last one-hour & are structured as follows:
1. The first 5 minutes: Welcoming, Checking In. One Minute of Silence.
2. The next 10 minutes: Readings
3. The last 45 minutes: Introduction of a topic. Group Sharing & Inquiry, .

Why are People so Judgmental? - Quantum Physics of Beliefs
in Self Help
Why are People so Judgmental?
Radio Talk, August 30, 2014
"When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself." – Wayne Dyer
"It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone." –Hermann Hesse, in Siddhartha
"We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others." –José Emilio Pacheco, in Battles in the Desert and Other Stories
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." –Matthew 7:1-2
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." –John 8:7
"Whenever we act as judge between people, we make them hate each other even more and one side ends up hating us, too." –Izzy Kalman
"Before You Judge me, make sure that You are Perfect."
Judging is a precarious business. Traditional psychology and most religious and ethical systems advise us not to judge our fellow human beings. Judging other people makes it difficult to understand and help them.

Lundberg, State Care of the Elderly & Labor Supply of Adult Children
Harvey, N., A. Reeves, Michael Schoenbaum, F.J. Zagmutt-Vergara, C. Dub, A.E. Hill, B.A. Corso, W.B. McNab, C.I. Cartwright, and M.D. Salman. 2007. "The North American Animal Disease Spread Model: A simulation model to assist decision making in evaluating animal disease incursions." Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 82:176-197.
The North American Animal Disease Spread Model is a stochastic, spatial, state-transition simulation model for the spread of highly contagious diseases of animals. It was developed with broad international support to assist policy development and decision making involving disease incursions. User-established parameters define model behavior in terms of disease progression; disease spread by animal-to-animal contact, contact with contaminated personnel or equipment, and airborne dissemination; and the implementation of control measures such as destruction and vaccination. Resources available to implement disease control strategies, as well as the direct costs associated with these strategies, are taken into consideration. The model records a wide variety of measures of the extent of simulated outbreaks and other characteristics. The graphical interface and output visualization features also make it a useful tool for training and preparedness exercises. This model is now being used to evaluate outbreak scenarios and potential control strategies for several economically important exotic animal diseases in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere.

Comment: Re:Web identifiers (Score 1) 33
seriously, this is different from openstreetmap... how ?
ok, so it's more limited (addresses only) and uk only.
adding the missing info in osm is a much better idea.
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).
seriously, this is different from openstreetmap... how ?

The easy solution would be simply to put a card on the nightstand giving the name of the safe hotspot you should connect to. And/or name the hotspot "Mariott Internet - all other hotspots should be avoided"
Warnings in my hotel room Do me no good in the lobby or bar or front desk when I'm trying to pull up my reservation on the e-mail.
do you work for marriott ?
most decent hotels have wifi network listed on an obvious sign in the lobby. even if not, you could ASK at the reception "which wifi network should i use?"
(for the record, marriott is not the worst when it comes to wifi - hilton sucks ass and can go and burn in some tar pit or something)
Mandatory free parking as part of any building, requiring that the development use 4x as much land as the actual building on it requires.
underground parking ?
densities of 5TB, 6TB, and 8TB
is that really proper use of "density" ?
i haven't met a woman like that personally. i haven't had terribly bad experience with women, either.
but there's this crusade which is getting more and more crazy. while it is lead by a crazy minority, there seems to be no opposition to that assholish behaviour.
well, here's some
ah, indeed - and some look like drop-in replacements for atms (quality matters, though) : http://www.sunsoninput.com/pid...
good point about the fingerprints... but at least there are ways to avoid that.
and i guess the idea is that people are less likely to forget their phone these days.
overall, seems like a silly idea with so many drawbacks that are being ignored...
it seems like it's actually bullying by crazy females (not really women, they have stopped being such).
they can't bully rockstars or sportists (see what is their attitude to women...), so they just choose a soft target that will not fight back - it people, scientists.
and then somebody whines why in some circles geeks see women with suspicion - after rejection and ridicule in school, after bullying later...
and the normal women don't speak up.
have a pin pad. officer hands the pad to you in/on your vehicle, you enter the pin (make sure to hit all buttons in a random order afterwards).
around here, police verifies all data you give them (licence, vehicle registration, insurance) with the hq. if they can't communicate, they are not allowed to perform any of those checks (and i think the internal guidelines say that they must "return to base" or something like that)
and there seem to be quite a lot of other projects like this, for example - https://grasswire.com/
one issue might be that news are more interesting for various parties to push their agenda. a wikipedia article can be used to shift perception, but it is likely to be corrected. a fake news item, even if later corrected, will have impact on the perception of the viewers.
as an example, grasswire covers russian-ukrainian war, and it gets very slanted messages through every now and then.
Uselessd shows that systemd's parts are not as tightly coupled as people suppose.
or more like "systemd's parts don't have to be as tightly coupled as they are"
rhel 7 (systemd one) just came out. for enterprise shops, it's not even out yet. they will look at it once it has been out for a couple of years. maybe redhat expects systemd to be in shape by that time, screw the early adopters
the publicity alone might be worth the effort.
it's one thing to say "they complained" or "the yes men got them" - "sued" seems to capture news-entertainment people in the usa a bit more
Lets say you have a laptop that is on one network and goes to sleep when you close it and arrives in a hotel room on another network? How would you do this with init without some serious hacks?
this seemed to be handled w/o systemd just fine for years. was it networkmanager ? probably. don't care. but it was never tied to the init system, login or anything else. having it all in a single, hairy ball of code is quite scary.
If you can't understand it, it is intuitively obvious.

Like most people here, the whole bar scene is getting a little old, so I figured why not give it a try? I'm super laid back and pretty much up for anything. I like to live an active lifestyle by playing sports and exercising. I'm a scratch golfer ( for those who are not familiar with that term it means you're pretty darn good). I just like kickin back and enjoying whatever free time I have. If you want to know more just ask.

Middle of the Road
I've been to Hawaii three times so thats definitely up there, as far as local spots go...it varies, I try to switch it up and go to new spots here and there
As far as favorite things go, i'd say playing sports and being active are number one. As far as musical tastes, it's pretty eclectic, i'm not a big fan of pop or country however.
I'm a pretty big golfer so that takes up a lot of my free time. I like to go out to bars, movies restaurants, ect. Pretty much am down for anything really.

I locally developing a website using CSS, jQuery, HTML, & notepad++ as my editor. I also have to use dreamweaver (DW) during site testing, CMS, & production deployment. Using DW is a non-negotiable aspect of this project, but the site is moving from DW in a year or two so DW integration is supposed to be minimal. I suspect the issue lies with DW, but I need help rooting it out.
The issue is that the homepage, and only the homepage, renders differently depending on the name of the folder. When opening the homepage from the top level directory, named siteBeta, the page renders in a smaller width than it should. If I copy the entire contents of siteBeta to a folder w/any other name, rename the siteBeta folder, or rename the homepage.html document the page renders properly.
I have a sneaking suspicion that there is a hidden file or file association somewhere, but I'm at a loss to find it.
Of course the easy solution would be to rename the file/folder, which is the course I am taking now, but it is driving me crazy as to why this is happening.
I've pored over the output of both a properly rendered page, and the improperly rendered page in firebug. Scrolling through all aspects of layout, computed output, and DOM elements. The only difference I can find is the width properties (clientWidth, offsetWidth, etc.) of the page.
This defect occurs with CSS references removed, jQuery references removed, and with all references removed. The only constant is that siteBeta/homeTab/homePage.html renders the client width ~100px narrower than every other page. This happens if opened in a browser through dw, or via directly opening the file in a browser.
The real kicker is that IE8 doesn't have this issue rendering clientWidth properly.
I will gladly provide any additional info needed, and I thank you in advance for your time & any hints or direction you may provide.

I know that beer brewing seems to be something that I will learn to make recipes for, but are there any really good books out there? I don't know where to find true and tried recipes for (especially) the beginner brewer who doesn't want to just go to the store and throw things together.
I've found that the recipes from radical brewing have turned out well for me.
Brewing Classic Styles, might be a good one to look at.
If you like Belgians , Brew Like a Monk, is great. It does not really give recipes, but explains what works for the style. Lots of history in there too.
Brewing Classic Styles
Definitely Brewing Classic Styles. Stay away from the Szamatulski books and the Papazian recipes from the 1970s (the first because they are kind of questionable, the second because they are so vague and non-specific). There are also very good recipes in the Belgian beer series (Farmhouse Ales, Brew Like a Monk, Wild Brews), Gordon Strong's Brewing Better Beer, and Stan Hieronymus's Brewing with Wheat.
I just recently purchased ..The brew master's Bible...not really impressed with the book as a whole but but it has a good section on recipe formulation and a pretty good section of recipes already put together
I started with Extreme Brewing (Sam from Dogfish Head) and everything turned out great.

update on my spinner gourds and others
well, well, well,
My vines are finally starting to die. but I have to tell you, I'm up to my eye balls in lil spinners! I planted 4 plants and they went EVERYWHERE!
Now, my husband wants to make it into a guessing game, to see how many really grew! Don't know what the winner will get, probably to take the vines out back to compost...LOL
I have notice that the ones that are ready to be cut off the vine, which 2 have fallen off, are all cream colored, they lost their stripes. so, i don't see a need to peel them. I could be wrong, but these came off clean!
And I also planted 2 snake plants and only got 3 snake gourds, one ended up to being 38" long, b/c it fell off and is half dried and straight, the other 2 are curled.
Egg gourds never took and neither did the birdhouses.
ornamental gourds are still growing and rabbit poo is the best fertilizer!
Melinda ny
You are sooooo lucky! I planted 15 seeds of the little African mini gourds and only one sprouted! I coddled that thing like you wouldn't believe. Finally it was big enough to plant out (I had it in a huge pot) and it climbed up my arbor out back. It had lots of blooms. I pinched it back to make it branch. Well, guess what? I have not a single gourd out there - not one! I am sure there were female and male flowers but I was not able to go lurking in the back yard, flitting from flower to flower, pollinating! That could have gotten me arrested! If your little gourds are a nice cream color you are very lucky. I did get a few that someone had soaked in 10% hydrogen peroxide - they are gorgeous! I am on the hunt for some extremely tiny spinners to make into ear rings ... so if you find some that will make up as pairs how about dropping me an email so that I can buy them from you?
Now - as to the comment from Indiana - about the Pint of Spirits ..... grrrrrroan! I can't believe you said that!
Cheers - Rita in Michigan
Hey All,
Good for you melinda:) I had the same as Rita, lots of vine and only one huge long handled dipper gourd out of about a hundred blossoms. Can you hand pollinate? I dont care what my neighbors think they already know i;m crazy:) I will flit all over if I could get more gourds. What do you fertalize with? Do they need something to set blossoms once they bloom? I want to grow lots for etching and dying for decoration. I did get a few egg gourds, they dried very easily. Lisa
Pint of Booooooos????????
Jan ... Aaaaaargh - now I think I've heard it all!
(Always thought you were in Indiana! If you move, it will help me out with my memory!)
Speaking of fertilizer - and Lisa was ... I was reading that lots of organic growers like to use MILORGANITE - not only for gourds, but for everywhere in their gardens and flower pots. It never burns. (You have to be careful tho as it reeks at first ... I dig mine in a bit, kinda scratch it into the soil, but the odor is usually gone the next day. One good thing - the deer and other critters keep away because they don't like the smell. Go to the Milorganite site and read all about it. I have been using it since we moved into this house 40 years ago.
Have fun with your bottles of boooos and your spirits.
(Empty bottles are from departed spirits by the way!)
Rita in Michigan
We met in Indiana, (Kokomo) last spring, while you were beading that lovely gourd. Have you done more of those?
I'm still debating on making the trip to South Bend next spring.
I guess my little spirits didn't depart fast enough!
Hi Jan - Yes, I know who you are!!! I remember how nice it was to have you come and sit with me while I was working on that gourd and I enjoyed meeting you finally! I always thought you were from INDIANA tho - don't ask me why - I just did! You may move - humor an old woman please!
I never did finish off that gourd - the one that we were working from looked like it was a pale lemon (like whipped eggs) and mine was blotchy and had a lot of markings on it - silly me - I thought it was PAINTED and it turns out the original was green peeled! I gave up on it when I found that out ... I figure if I try to paint it or put a "wash" on it that I will wreck the beads and gem inserts. Heck - it is wrecked looking now as it is so I guess I can't go too wrong! I would ask the instructor but I don't want to admit that I never got it finished!!! I hate eating humble pie!
If you have any ideas please drop me an email!
Cheers - Rita in Michigan
nice to hear how everyone's crop has grown or is still growing...
we finally had our BIG FROST, killed all of the vines.
So, the big tally, no i didn't count them, but should. We got a half a bushel. Some, are already browned and light as a feather, others are the cream color i was talking about earlier, and some are still green w/stripes and heavy! also got some small bird house gourds,(didn't see them before)
I did an experiment this yr w/rabbit poop. I had heard that it would work great. but i was afraid it would produce all leaves and no fruit! I was wrong. got lots of fruit, so if you know anyone with rabbits, ask about their waste!!! and I've also heard that Sheep waste is the same, not a lot of acid in it! (haven't try that!)

|Steelers without Woodley, Keisel against Browns
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 24 November 2013 07:03
Both will miss Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. With Woodley (calf) out, the Steelers will start rookie Jarvis Jones in his spot. Ziggy Hood will fill in for Keisel (foot) as the Steelers (4-6) try to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Woodley leads the Steelers with five sacks and Keisel has two, accounting for nearly half of Pittsburgh's 16 sacks. They each sat out last week when the Steelers beat the Detroit Lions.
As expected, Browns starting inside linebacker Craig Robertson is out with a sprained right knee. Tank Carder will start for Robertson alongside D'Qwell Jackson.
Also, Browns rookie defensive end Armonty Bryant is out with a back injury.

Rob Scagel is listed as the "principal consultant" for a company called Pacific Phytometric Consultants based in Surrey, BC, Canada.
Numerous sources describe Scagel as a "forest microclimate specialist."
Scagel is a signatory to the Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change which states "global climate has always changed and always will, independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life."
"The MPB (mountain pine beetle) is a species native to this part of North America and is always present. The MPB epidemic started as comparatively small outbreaks and through forest management inaction got completely out of hand." (Part of a response to Al Gore). [2]
March 4, 2008
Scagel is listed as a "Climate Expert" who signed the 2008 Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change. The Declaration was first presented at the Heartland Institute's 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. [1]
The main assertion of the Manhattan Declaration is that "human-caused climate change is not a global crisis."
Its recommendation is "that world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."
December 13, 2007
Scagel was a to an open letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon that urged the UN to take a different approach to climate change. [3]
Rather than continue with their focus on "fighting climate change," the letter argues that the UN should simply adapt to what signatories presume are inevitable temperature changes.
April, 2006
Listed as a signatory to an open letter titled "Open Kyoto to Debate" addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Natural Resource Stewardship Project (NRSP) — Past "Allied Expert." The NRSP is now defunct. [4]
International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) — Member, "Policy Advisory Board." [5]
According to a search of 22,000 academic journals for the name "RK Scagel," there are 14 research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, mainly in the area of forestry, the last article being published in November 2000.

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Partnering to Improve Food and Nutrition Security in Africa
May 01, 2012
Transforming poor people's food and nutrition security is proving to be, as expected, a massive challenge. As we approach a slew of global meetings that will address this topic in the coming months, the German Marshall Fund (GMF) has released a new report that showcases the need for and complexities of multi-stakeholder partnerships in support of this goal in Africa.
|Simon Winter, our Senior Vice President for Development, was a member of the Transatlantic Experts Group that consulted on the new report from the German Marshall Fund.
In Ethiopia, TechnoServe has helped bring together a range of partners in order to improve the coffee industry and increase farmers' incomes.
Transforming poor people's food and nutrition security is proving to be, as expected, a massive challenge. As we approach a slew of global meetings that will address this topic in the coming months, the German Marshall Fund (GMF) has released a new report that showcases the need for and complexities of multi-stakeholder partnerships in support of this goal in Africa. Indeed, the bolder the goals and the greater the extent of the desired transformation, the greater the complexity of the partnership.
A recent blog exchange on the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT), one of the partnerships highlighted in the GMF report, demonstrates this complexity. Porter McConnell of Oxfam America believes that before further public funds are committed to such endeavors, the multinational corporate partners need to show their willingness to invest. Chris Isaac of AgDevCo responds by saying that it is the paucity of catalytic financing from public sources that is holding back private investment. Which is the chicken and which is the egg? And how can a new dynamism be injected to break this cycle of slow action?
The GMF report highlights examples of other partnerships that are doing just that. One such case, profiled in the report, is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-supported Ethiopia Coffee Initiative, which brings together a range of local and international organizations from the Ethiopian government to NIB Bank, the IFC and coffee exporters and roasters, with implementation led by TechnoServe.
One breakthrough factor was taking a sectoral, or value chain, approach related to a very specific market opportunity. In this case, it was the potential to catapult some of Ethiopia's less accessible and well-known coffee regions to the front line of the rapidly growing global demand for high-end washed arabica coffee. Other important factors included rigorous analysis of the benchmarks to be achieved and an implementation approach that was based on a shared vision of how to overcome identified gaps – namely, through targeted capacity development (around the processing models and agronomy) and linkages to leading global buyers and financiers. And critical to success was an approach that generated early achievements that helped to showcase the opportunity and further align incentives of the partners.
In all of the examples provided in the GMF report, a critical early-stage role was played by catalytic "soft" money of some kind, whether philanthropic or public-backed grant monies. The Ethiopia Coffee Initiative example would not have happened without earlier investments in Tanzania by USAID and a range of private donors. These investments enabled testing and learning to take place with small-scale Tanzanian coffee farmers, various arms of the Tanzanian public sector and private companies, dating back to the early 2000s.
Among the many sound recommendations detailed in the report, those that offer the greatest potential to drive accelerated impact on food and nutrition security include:
- Ensuring programs are driven by evolving market demand and include private-sector partners and sensibilities early;
- Creating mechanisms, such as those offered by the World Economic Forum's New Vision for Agriculture, that provide opportunities for public, private and civil society stakeholders to engage and listen to each other;
- Promoting a level playing field linked to profitable models for farming and farmer engagement (such as outgrower schemes) – representing a move away from the "handout" mentality of some agencies that encourages persistent dependency;
- Taking a careful approach to increasing formalization of land tenure security (mitigating risks of land grabs);
- Producing higher-quality data, monitoring and research in order to support adaptive learning-based approaches to program implementation;
- And finally, finding sources of well-focused catalytic funding to build the base of knowledge and soft and hard infrastructure that will encourage private risk-taking, innovation and investment.

An eye towards 2011? LSU WR Toliver arrested
Posted on: March 8, 2010 1:36 pm
With the 2010 draft only six weeks away, most are understandably focusing on it. NFL scouts are always looking ahead to next year, however, and news of a highly touted prospect getting arrested is always worth monitoring.
According to published reports , LSU wide receiver Terrance Toliver was arrested outside of Fred's, a bar close to the LSU campus, and charged with disturbing the police, public intoxication and interfering with a police officer. Police, according to the report, were forced to taser Toliver after he would not cooperate.
Toliver, along with two other men involved in the fight, was cited and released. Toliver participated in LSU's spring practice prior to the incident. He met with head coach Les Miles Sunday.
Toliver, who just finished his senior season, is expected to be the next in a long line of Tiger receivers to earn a high round selection in the NFL Draft. Since 2002 the Tigers have had nine receivers drafted, including five among the top 50 picks.
Toliver finished the 2009 season with 53 catches for 735 yards and 3 touchdowns, behind Brandon LaFell, another likely top 50 selection.
