Butterflies and daffodils and happiness so pure
Sunny skies and lullabies and dreams of what could be
Hidden worlds and wonderlands of things they couldn't see
Shining gowns and silver crowns for dancing with the prince
Twirling with excitement, though the others weren't convinced
Dear intimidation, did you find it to be true
All I ever needed was an overdose of you
Silly stares and laughter slowly flood a child's mind
Making me abandon every daydream I could find
Lost beneath the shadows of the sky so dark and dead
Far too weak to turn around, yet scared of things ahead
Dear destructive tendencies, I feel it's time to hear
You were all I had when nothing else seemed to be near
Everything so out of reach, too far for me to see
I decided I would choose the needle next to me
Slicing through my very skin to feel something once more
Weeping through the satisfaction I could not ignore

I don't remember the last time i had a BSOD. Had to be prior to Vista in the XP days. Close to 10 year sago.
Actually had forgotten they ever existed.
What i'll never forget is the windows 98 Illegal operation pop up that'd never go away and you had to hide some where to the side of the screen til you restarted or windows eventually Blue screened.

Fun fact: The graphics stability that users of modern Windows enjoy is the result of a new display driver model introduced in Windows Vista.
My BSoD's decreased tenfold for this reason alone. It was one of the contributing factors that made me switch to Vista full time, and ditch XP for good.
Posted 25 May 2014 - 12:31
Actually the easiest way is to have an nVidia graphics card in your system...
Gotten a few BSODs on 8.1 from running beta NVIDIA drivers, but that's almost to be expected.
Been running every single Beta driver nVidia has released for years in the last 3 systems I've had, never caused blue screens, I did have a defective part, but was replaced and all has been good, so no not driver related, altho normally hardware or drivers are the main culprit unlike before when it was likely XP causing it

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
c.1600, "one who rakes muck," from muck (n.) + agent noun from rake (v.). Meaning "one who inquires into and publishes scandal and allegations of corruption among political and business leaders," popularized 1906 in speech by President Theodore Roosevelt, in reference to "man ... with a Muckrake in his hand" in Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" (1684) who seeks worldly gain by raking filth.
The men with the muck-rakes are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck. [T. Roosevelt, quoted in "Cincinnati Enquirer," April 15, 1906.]Muckrake in sense "person who hunts scandal" is attested from 1872. To muckrake (v.) in the literal sense is from 1879; figuratively from 1910. Related: Muckraking.

Pellet Stove Exhaust Venting into a Greenhouse
We run our pellet stove 24/7 at our house, except for weekly cleaning. I was thinking of building a small greenhouse and having the pellet stove exhaust empty right into the greenhouse as a means of heating (unevenly, sure). I would have a separate floor exhaust for the incoming air but would think much of the heat and CO2 could/would be trapped in the gh. Though some soot is emitted from our pellet stove I would angle the gh to have a soot trap at the top. Has anyone tried this before? Any ideas on feasibility?
Along with heat and carbon dioxide, the products of combustion would be vented into your greenhouse also....namely Carbon Monoxide. This would create a very serious hazard to any people who enter the greenhouse. People die from CO poisoning every year, usually when their furnace or boiler malfunctions, the venting becomes blocked or a wood fireplace chimney becomes blocked.
The temptation is there to try to use the heat that is seemingly wasted but
I would hate to see you or others made sick or worse by venting an appliance into their greenhouse.
I don't think there is much waste heat from the pellet stove that my buddy had. That thing burned so darn clean! I think you could put you hand on the pipe. Try that with a wood stove and say hello to third degree burns.
absolutely do not do that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will die or some one in your family will die ....i have kids and i know they would try to go in there and all it takes is 2 minutes befor you die from Carbon Monoxide poisoning....
if you build a green house right next too or part of your house try adding a bath fan or wall mount fan (Fantech RVF8XL Wall Mounted Exterior Centrifugal Fan - 392 CFM)..cfm cubic feet per minute))the point of this is to use your house heat to heat the greenhouse..then add a switch or if you know a electrican he can add a relay and termostat...
I have a pellet stove. While the exhaust is clean, once in a while you'll see an ember blowing out the end of the pipe. If you have any plastic, you could start a fire. I think the only way is some sort of heat exchanger.
you could probably run the exhaust vent through the greenhouse a bit and then exit safely venting the "smoke" outside. You may pick up some residual heat of the piping that way and not completely waste it.
just a thought.
As mentioned above, if you get cabin fever and have extra to spend on copper tubing, pump and such, and feel like excavating the GH floor and then run PEX underneath, and magically think your wife somehow will still speak to you, you can probably capture the heat and run it under the floor if you are so inclined.
i put a pellet stove directly vented into the lower end of a 30x96 greenhouse this year. i had the same questions of carbon monoxide so i bought a carbon monoxide alarm and i found i can get a 10 degree increase and i have had a max of 16ppm on co count w kidde/kncopp3 model co alarm. i have yet to test co2 levels
You should start your own post in another, more relevant, GardenWeb forum. It's not helpful to the rest of us for you to insert a request for spare parts into this discussion. And you probably have a better chance of getting an answer in a more appropriate forum.
I know this is an old post but, since winter is coming, this post may give people an idea.
It's a bad idea.
Not just "No" but "Hell no!" Deliberately introducing an invisible, odorless, undetectable lethal agent like CO into your greenhouse is a bad idea and could have fatal consequences.
Not doubting jeff granacki's results but a 30x96 has a lot more room to dissipate the CO than many hobby houses. He's got close to 30,000 cu ft inside his house whereas a 12x10x8 house has less than 1,000 cu ft. That means they could have a stove just as efficient as his and have levels of 500-1,000 ppm. (1,000 ppm is referred to as "rapidly lethal to humans") Also, where would you mount the monitor? Inside the greehouse so that you have to enter the potentially lethal atmosphere to read the dial?
Nope. Don't do it.
Well I can tell you what i did to heat my shop that's connected to my house. I ran the pellet stove pipe into a used oil furnace in place of the oil gun. Then it vents out the top like normal to out side. Works like a charm and is also safe. I pull the cleaning covers once a year on the old oil furnace and vac out the fly ash and clean the flues on it. If any more info is needed just shout.

No Apples
Just wondering how everyone fared with the CRAZY spring!! I guess the "Hot & Cold" weather in March and April did my trees in. I have about 8 varities and about 200 trees and I don't believe I can find 20 apples!!! Can't believe I have to wait another year to try again! Maybe I should try growing "Livestock".Hope youall made out better. "Peace"
I have found ONE apple on my trees, and 3 or 4 peaches. Not a single pear or plum. Of all things, sour cherry seemed to fare best, my mature Balaton has at least 2 dozen cherries on it. Living large, I tell ya.
On the flip side, I guess without the need to put energy into developing fruit, they have gone crazy with the vegetative growth. Lush and beautiful looking, very very healthy foliage.
I live in massachusetts on Cape Cod and my 20 trees got pollinated by some very busy bumble bees. I enjoyed just watching them work so hard for me. It seemed a little cool for honeybees to be out and about. My neighbor down the street has some columnar apple trees in pots and hers did not get pollinated. I told her maybe she just didn't have enough flowers to attract the bumbles this year.
I have waited four years for a decent amount of apples and this is the summer! My Pristine apple has over 60 apples on it. My Enterprise only has one! And my Jonagold has 10. Not bad. My apricot 'Harglow' is my biggest disappointment. Had 50 nickel sized cots and all but ten have fallen off. My Italian plum is holding onto at least 30 plums. Peach tree has 30 peaches, and the sour cherry has over 100 cherries. That is my season so far. The trees are netted and three baby squirrels and many birds are eyeing my fruit! The apples are bagged, not netted. Fingers crossed!
My baby Cortland tree had a dozen fruit buds. Of those, only about a dozen flowers opened. Of those, there are growing only 4 apples on the whole tree. Cold weather no doubt destroyed most of them. Oh well. At least I know it's going into bearing for future years and should be much improved then.
I planted all but one of my apples last spring or this year, so I can't expect too much- about 25 bagged apples total, spread across 7 potentially bearing trees (of my 24 apple trees). I've got 5-8 apples per tree on Goldrush, Priscilla, William's Pride, and Ecos Red (the one tree from 2010). I've got another 1 apple each on Winecrisp, Liberty, and Roxbury Russet (the last two planted this spring). All except a few backups are bagged, though the thunderstorm knocked down 3 bags last night. The Sweet 16, which was among the largest of my trees, only bloomed on 1 branch and none of them set.
I think I counted about three apples yesterday while spraying immunox fungicide on my 2-3 year old trees.That's pretty pathetic considering all the work it took this spring to installed eight foot cedar posts and five wire electric fence to keep the deer out.I'm glad I don't do this for a living. ;)
freedom was a whip no branches at all liberty had 4 or 5 branches. sprayed with bonide fruit tree spray but small leaves look bad or eaten, brown tips on leaves. miller said to spray with seven which i did, no change. any help would be appreciated thank you joejan
The apricot flowered during the 80* days and had lots of bees visit. The peaches and necterine bloomed next but it was 40* and rainy. Had days where it snowed and nights down to 26*. I figured they were all goners. The apples bloomed later but only had a couple flowers - the trees are young.
Walked out one afternoon to spray and realized that some of those blossoms set fruit! I won't have to thin the peaches and necterine but I should get a fair amount from them. The apricots didn't make it tho. (always a gamble anyway here)
My Asian pears totally wiped out. My Bartlett I had a hard time finding any, but maybe a handful are there. Apples - Liberty has a great crop, one or two Mutsu, one or two Empire, one red delicious, 10 or so honey crisp, Golden Delicious many. Last I looked (week ago) it still had some open blossoms.
Reliance peaches had a strong setting of fruit on two trees. I had to thin last weekend. Looking good, despite peach leaf curl.
I have so few apples on the trees this year that I resorted
to bagging them the other day in ziplock bags. With 17 trees, I just normally spray them. I did spray for scab/curculio up to now but not enough apples to warrant
using the Imidan anymore.
Red Delicious.....1 apple
McIntosh..........13 apples
Northern Spy......Zero
unknown gold......Zero
Haralson..........1 apple
The rest of my apples are too young to bear. I won't be making applesauce this year!
I just netted the North Star cherry last night. It has a light crop but I am happy for anything I can get this year.
Had a bad cloud go through two days in a row. High winds the first day with small hail then quarter size hail and up the second day. Banana plants took the worst beating.
Here in South GA apples are doing just fine but the peaches and the cherries just did not have enough chill hours.
Jonagold is loaded for the first time
In the Pacific Northwest the past two years (2010 and 2011) had wet and cool Spring days with the result that the Italian prune plums in particular just didn't show their usual fruitfulness.
This year, we had a much better Spring and many of the fruit trees are doing much better.
I have this silver lining idea behind the clouds of non-fruitfulness: when there aren't many fruits, for those who usually are NOT diligent in pest protection, it could be a good year to reduce or eliminate your pests with some methods that aren't usually so effective.....i.e., it could be a good pest management year.

UnitedHealthcare answeredReview your health care costs and try to estimate how much you spend on health care and how much you may spend in the coming year. Some health plans have tools to help you estimate your costs. Remember to factor in doctor's visits, prescription medications and procedures. After you have estimated how much you expect to spend, make a list of the out-of-pocket expenses, premiums and benefits of each plan you're considering. These can include co-payments, deductibles and fees for seeing specialists. Many health plans establish provider networks that include doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who have contracted with the health plan to provide care at special rates. You will also need to factor in the costs of using an out-of-network doctor or other health care provider you choose that is not in the plan's network. You should check to see if your doctor is included in the plan's network.Helpful? 2 people found this helpful.

Question & Answers
Answer from: BIK
I also had the same problem at first when I got this game on wii. But there are 2 ways of unlocking Both dragon riders. You can first try getting the golden terrible terror challenge in Stoick's challenges (Best to do this as Hiccup and Toothless.) After this, fly as fast as you can to the top of the snow mountain where you'll will find a hidden cave entrance on a snowy mountain ridge. Fly into this cave and work you way down where you will find Valka and Her dragon hovering in a snow cave where Tuffnut and Ruffnut normaly fly around in sometimes. Fly up to her. Then she will say the same this as I told the other guy with his question of how to get Cloudjumper and Skullcrusher. When you hear this, a orange ring will appear beside her that you have to fly through, then she will take you to the top of the mountain. When you get near there, a green ring will appear, fly through this ring where you'll will get a new challenge where you have to race and beat her in order to unlock her in the dragon hangar (best to use viking blitz on her when racing,press B to activate.) If you want Stoick and his dragon Skullcrusher, you must complete the challenge "Mouth on fire"(light up the 8 statues,Hold on to A to lock on the statue then release A to fire.) When you do this, fly down into the other cave on a grassy ridge where you'll will see another cave entrance. Fly into this cave and work you way down where you will see Stoick and Skullcrusher hovering behind a pillar behind where the fireflies are ready to unlock (WARNING,doing the challenges like this might make them disappear forever if it dose not work.) The second way to unlock them, is by doing all the training exercises to gold same for the tournaments in order to get the racing paint for every dragon. You must also Get 100% for everyone of the Stoick's challenges to get them. Then just do the same thing like I said before Where Cloudjumper and Skullcrusher will be (By getting everything, Cloudjumper and Skullcruher will always be there ready to unlock and will never disappear.) If you having trouble with the Baack to berk challenge, then look at what I told the other guy for help.
Answer from: Koko
I have already beaten Valka in the dragon race to unlock her, but there is still a green ring there? What now??
Answer from: Star
Hi Koko!! I'm Bluestar, it's very nice to meet you! Sounds like your game might be glitched or corrupted. I'll try and contact BIK or Nightfury for you through Jay Baruchal himself! They are the experts! :-)

Will 2 different brands of single wall ovens look odd?
I posted this question on the Appliances forum and received some very welcome advice, including the suggestion that I post here regarding the design question.
I plan to use two separate single wall ovens, one on an inconspicuous wall and the other in a peninsula's base cabinet. For the peninsula, I'm thinking of an Electrolux Icon or Wave Touch. Because of the price difference, the choice depends on how much I spend on the other oven.
I would appreciate help in deciding whether the wall oven on the other side of the room (to the left of the dishwasher shown in the drawing below) needs to be the same as the peninsula oven. Would it look strange to use either an LG single wall oven or a Frigidaire Gallery in the wall spot, when the Icon or Wave Touch is in the peninsula? The purpose for having different makes is strictly to save money. Otherwise, I would be happy with 2 Icons.
I was all set to use two different ovens, then an appliance salesman convinced me that I should buy two of the same, either the Elux or the less expensive one, since two different oven styles would look odd. Now I'm rethinking whether to get 1 Elux Icon and a basic Frigidaire. I'm not sure whether the appearance would be strange, since they're pretty far apart.
Thanks again for the information and advice.
Hi Fred,
I got some great advice when I posted regarding whether my appliance brands should match. I was particularly concerned about my wall oven clashing with my range.
I basically got a resounding "don't worry! they don't have to match!" from the GW crowd. The sentiment seems to be "buy what works for you--buy based on the function of each appliance as it applies to your needs."
I ended up with a Wolf range about 4 feet away from my Kenmore wall oven, on the same wall, and I couldn't be happier. You're going to spend a lot of time designing a kitchen with many, many design elements that tie in and relate to each other. This will pull your kitchen together. The last thing you need to worry about is matching wall ovens; just buy what you like, what you want, what works
Here's the thread I posted awhile back. The replies were really helpful.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1013523511177.html
Madeline, What a useful link!
I'm still not sure whether having two different ovens will introduce a certain design discord that might be less of an issue with an oven and rangetop. Those two items are shaped so differently even in the same brand, that I totally get that it doesn't make a difference. But with ovens, I'm less sure, since the eye probably expects them to be the same.
I have a wolf and ge Advantium. They look fine together. Some people ask if it is one oven or 2.
On iPhone but if you surf for a2gemini out if abb. you can see a picture.
Talk to your appliance salesperson to see if any different trim kits available to improve coordination.
Cryptic from iPhone.
Here's that pic of a2gemini's wall ovens:
They look great together! Because they're juxtaposed and the same type of appliance, it's my preference that they look similar. But if appliances are not juxtaposed or if they're not the same type of appliance, all bets are off in my book. (My wall oven is next to a refrigerator of a different brand, and they don't look very similar except the finish.) So what I'm trying to say is: it'll look fine if you get two dissimilar wall ovens, since they're not right next to each other, IMHO.
When we're talking different appliances, you absolutely don't have to get the same brand. Function over form!
My first inclination was "of course" 2 of the SAME appliance should be the same, but...they're going in 2 completely different locations. And if one is going to be a work-horse and the other is going to be an "extra" than it doesn't make sense to sacrifice performance b/c you can't afford 2 top-tier ovens.
So, feel free to mix and match based on performance and budget!
I think a lot of people, similar to fouramblues, have 2 different brand ovens stacked right on top of each other because they chose each oven for specific functions. Some have a high-end steam oven and a "regular" oven of another brand. It's all good :)

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Today's Horoscope
MOON ALERT Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions all day today until 7 p.m. After that the moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Your ambition is super-aroused today. You're in a black-and-white frame of mind with a do-or-die attitude. (Yikes!) Obviously, if there's something you really have to get done, you'll do it. But be careful of how many toes you're stepping on because those feet will remember.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because people will be fanatical (including you). There's an almost maniacal, egotistical energy loose in the world today that makes everyone go the whole nine yards, whatever they're doing. Lighten up!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
This is a poor day to debate shared property, inheritances, insurance matters or anything that needs to be divided. People will be at each other's throats and you might get caught in the midst of the fray. Why not have a second cup of coffee and postpone all this for a few days?
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You're gonna have to be nice today. (Not that you aren't everyday.) But today, intense power struggles with partners and close friends are staring you in the face. Don't even go there. Don't get involved. It won't be a pretty picture. Sometimes, you have to know when to hold and when to fold.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Although the astrological influences are tough for some today, you can use them to an enormous advantage. When it comes to work and getting things done, you are "strrrong like bull." You will literally plow through heavy-duty work (including physical) and get stuff done.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
If you work with children (or personally as a parent) remember to be gentle with kids today because power struggles will erupt. Remember, you're not the kid. (Surprisingly easy to forget.) Romantic arguments could also be brutal. Go gently.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Although domestic disputes and arguments are likely today, this same energy can be used to push furniture around from one end of the house to the other. You have tremendous drive now and you want to make improvements to where you live. But be polite.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might blow others away because your communicating style will be so forceful today. Factoid. Both Mars and Pluto are lined up in the part of your chart that governs how you speak, think and write. "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" (Wanna tone it down a notch?)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
When it comes to earning money, you might be ruthless today. Nothing and no one will stop you. Ironically, when it comes to spending money, you might be equally as ruthless (and nothing or no one will stop you). It looks like you're on your own.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You have enormous drive and energy today, which will allow you to complete any task at hand. You have endurance, focus and surprising strength. Be careful about overpowering others. Use this energy to get work done, not to overwhelm others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Secret love affairs and clandestine situations might be taking place today for some of you. (Spooky.) However, the best way to use today's energy is to be dauntless in researching something. You will find whatever you're looking for because you won't give up.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You'll be inclined to be rather pushy dealing with others in group situations today (small get-togethers, classes or large conferences). If pushy is what it takes, you've got it solved. But if pushy is off-putting to others, you might want to rethink your approach.
Guitarist Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) shares your birthday. You are devoted to your projects. Furthermore, you are a perfectionist. Nevertheless, you are quick thinking, impulsive and above all, intuitive. You easily can generate excitement in those around you because you are constantly on the go. Family is important to you. Good news: Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Eager for a 5th rounder? Is Atl shedding salary to get ready for a bigger move?
Posted by redxblack from Akron Ohio on 01/18/11 at 02:47 PM ET
I can't see Eager (not a high quality player) coming out of a 5th rounder (outside of a Ken Holland draft)
Posted by redxblack from Akron Ohio on 01/18/11 at 05:14 PM ET
I wouldn't be surprised if SJS trades him to the DuhUcks for yet another fifth round pick…
Posted by SYF from the C7.R, flyin' low and feelin' mean on 01/18/11 at 06:40 PM ET
I can't see Eager (not a high quality player) coming out of a 5th rounder (outside of a Ken Holland draft)
Word is, he's been a problem in the locker room, and he wasn't well liked by the players.
Something had to be done after that suspension. Many of us who follow Atlanta expected Eager to either be traded or waived by this time, because of what he did and the end result.
As sure as the sun comes up, Eager got traded. Atlanta gets a draft pick that will likely be moved to help get a stretch run player, and San Jose can now send back some of their farm team. Both teams win, here.

Education in formal educational institutions recognized by the state educational institutions is something that must be done. Whoever the person should attend at least 9 years old until graduating high school. Perhaps you would question whether the actual function of school education.

"Had they been sentenced under current laws and policies, many of these individuals would have already served their time and paid their debt to society," a statement released by the White House reads.
President Obama had issued a video message last Monday, urging the Nigerian people to shun violence, with the State Dept. congratulating the people of Nigeria "who exercised their civic duty by going to the polls."
Echoing the White House, State spokeswoman Marie Harf said that "we've made enough progress in the last days to merit staying until Wednesday. There are several difficult issues still remaining."

Klára (Klari) Dán Von Neumann (18 August 1911 – 10 November 1963) was a scientist, and a pioneer computer programmer. She wrote the code used on the MANIAC machine developed by John von Neumann and Julian Bigelow at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. She was also involved in the design of new controls for ENIAC and was one of its primary programmers.[2][3] She taught early weather scientists how to program.[4]
Klára wrote the preface to John von Neumann's posthumously published, influential Silliman Lectures,[5] later edited and published by Yale University Press as "The Computer and the Brain".[6]
She was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1911, to Károly - Karl Dán and Camila Stadler. She reportedly took her own life in 1963.[7] She was married four times, including to John von Neumann in 1938, and to Carl Eckart in 1958.

Shiva attracts avid listeners to her messageFilmmakers: Peå Holmquist and Suzanne Khardalian
Her opponents call her "The Green Killer" and derisively nominated her for the so-called "Bullsh*t Award" for sustaining poverty. TIME magazine calls her a hero for the 'green century', and an icon for youngsters all over the world. So who is Vandana Shiva?An unlikely hero, some would say. Born to nature-loving parents in Dehradun, India, Shiva trained as a nuclear physicist in Canada. Soon out of university, she began questioning how science technology impacted on the environment.Shiva participated in the non-violent Chipko movement during the 1970s. The movement, whose main participants were women, adopted the tactic of hugging trees to prevent their felling.In 1982, Shiva started projects and established organisations aimed at protecting the diversity of native seeds. She encouraged local farmers to reject political and economic pressures that may endanger India's natural biodiversity.She is one of the leading figures of the global solidarity movement known as the alter-globalisation movement. An outspoken critic of big business, she has denounced the economic policies of certain multi-national corporations, saying they push people into poverty and starvation - she describes this as a 'form of terrorism'.
Barun Mitra rails against ShivaShiva's many detractors call her naive, pointing out that chemical fertilisers, pesticides and genetic engineering rescued India from its famine and huge debts from importing food. She responds that high-tech agriculture is a short-term solution that will ultimately destroy the land.Swedish filmmakers Peå Holmquist and Suzanne Khardalian follow this gritty and charismatic campaigner over two years as she harvests seeds, harangues governments and confronts Barun Mitra, a liberal lobbyist and fierce critic - and the man who nominated her as a candidate for the the "Bullsh*t Award".

Just passing through, or so we thought!
Our motel was just off the highway and we managed to drag our tired selves in to register and get to our room. We laughed all the while at all the country decor, that was so kitsch it was "adorable." There was also a special display on the counter which we would address the next morning.
3-Star motel, nice, but with "issues," at least we got some sleep.

trimming leaves of leeks
woohoomanMarch 17, 2013
I'm about ready to add some soil to my leeks bed. Should I trim the leaves first Or just leave them flopping? They're about 18" long right now. If so, how short should I cut?
I'm not sure what you are asking, or what you're planning to do. Are you hilling soil around the base of the plants to blanch the shanks? If so, you need all those wrapper leaves intact, to help keep out soil.
Are the leeks 18 inches tall? If so they are approaching an intense growth period and need moisture more than trimming. If the leaves are 18 inches long, you should start pulling leeks and eating them. Spring-grown leeks don't hold like they do in the fall.

New Zealand Fishing Company and Chief Engineer Sentenced for Environmental Crimes and Obstruction of Justice.
A New Zealand fishing company that owned and operated the tuna fishing vessel San Nikunau, and a former chief engineer on the ship, were sentenced in federal court today for environmental crimes and obstruction of justice, announced Assistant Attorney General Ignacia S. Moreno of the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ronald C. Machen Jr.
Sanford Ltd. was ordered to pay a criminal fine of $1.9 million and pay $500,000 in community service to the National Marine Sanctuaries Foundation for the benefit of the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa. The former Chief Engineer James Pogue was sentenced to 30 days in jail to be followed by two years of supervised release and ordered to pay a criminal fine of $6,000.
"Companies, like Sanford, who benefit from fishing in the oceans and selling their catch in the U.S. must comply with the laws that protect the oceans," said Assistant Attorney General Moreno. "Today's sentence makes clear that companies, like Sanford, who deliberately break the law by discharging oil waste into the ocean over a period of years and lie to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) about their activities, will be held fully accountable under U.S. laws."
"Deliberately polluting our oceans is not only harmful to our environment– it is criminal," said U.S. Attorney Machen. "Today's sentence sends a clear message to owners and operators of commercial vessels who illegally dump oily waste and try to cover it up. We are committed to protecting our precious natural resources and will punish companies and individuals who ignore their obligations to our planet and future generations."
"Some of the world's most pristine marine ecosystems are located in the South Pacific and it is important that the rule of law is regarded and respected even in the most remote areas," said Captain Joanna Nunan, USCG Commander, Coast Guard Sector Honolulu and Captain of the Port in American Samoa. "The U.S. Coast Guard is committed to working with the maritime community to help ensure compliance with these environmental standards."
According to the government's evidence, in July 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard conducted a Port State Control examination when the vessel returned to Pago Pago, American Samoa. The investigation revealed that the vessel had been routinely discharging oily waste water, without first using equipment to clean the waste water, and making false entries or no entries in an oil record book that vessels are required to maintain accurately, all in violation of international and U.S. laws.
According to evidence presented at trial, Sanford Ltd. operates the fishing vessel San Nikunau, a vessel that routinely delivers tuna to a cannery in Pago Pago. Over the past five years, Sanford was paid over $24 million for tuna deliveries. Sanford Ltd. was convicted of numerous charges including conspiracy and causing the vessel to enter into the port of Pago Pago with a knowingly falsified oil record book. Sanford Ltd. was also convicted of failing to maintain an accurate oil record book and failing to disclose that required pollution prevention equipment had not been used on the vessel. Sanford Ltd. was also convicted of discharging machinery space bilge waste into the port of Pago Pago without using required pollution prevention equipment, including the oil water separator.
Pogue, of Idaho, served as the chief engineer on the vessel between 2001 and 2010. Pogue was convicted of failing to maintain an oil record book for the vessel and failing to account for transfers of machinery space bilge waste to other areas of the vessel. In addition, Pogue was convicted of intending to influence a Coast Guard investigation by falsely stating in the oil record book that required pollution prevention equipment had been used when it had not.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The case was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Kenneth E. Nelson of the Environmental Crimes Section of the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division, Assistant U.S. Attorney Frederick W. Yette of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and James E. McLeod, a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney from U.S. Coast Guard headquarters.

Hubble finally gets a heavenly view.
For three and a half years, a tiny optical flaw had clouded the vision of the $2 billion Hubble Space Telescope and become a symbol of mismanagement at NASA. But last week, jubilant space agency officials and scientists announced that the telescope's blurry vision -- as well as several mechanical difficulties -- were a thing of the past. According to Hubble project scientist Edward J. Weiler, repairs made by astronauts last month have corrected the spherical aberration in Hubble's primary mirror, making the telescope the worldclass observatory astronomers had always hoped for. Scientists announced the findings during a crowded press conference at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Researchers said they cheered and toasted with champagne the test images taken in late December and early January with the repaired Hubble's two cameras. The images "are about as close to perfection as engineering can achieve and the laws of physics will allow," said James H. Crocker of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. The new optics will allow Hubble to see details in distant galaxies that it could only see previously in bodies 10 times closer to Earth, says Jon A. Holtzman of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.
The telescope's sharper vision will enable astronomers to image Cepheid variable stars, which serve as cosmic milemarkers, in galaxies more distant from Earth, providing a better estimate of the size and age of the universe, he says. If the repairs for Hubble's two spectrometers also prove successful, the telescope will have a better chance of determining which galaxies harbor a black hole.
Hubble's spherical aberration had smeared incoming light, preventing the telescope from clearly viewing faint galaxies or distinguishing individual stars in crowded clusters. The flaw also created halos of light around bright objects, washing out detail from their surroundings. Before the repairs, the telescope could only focus about 12 percent of light from celestial objects -- far less than its design goal -- into a radius of 0.1 arc second. In comparison, Hubble's new Wide-Field and Planetary Camera, which has built-in optics to correct for the telescope's optical flaw, focuses 60 to 70 percent of light into a circle of that radius, says Hubble senior scientist David S. Leckrone of Goddard Space Flight Center. A set of mirrors inserted into the light path of the telescope's Faint Object Camera sweeps 85 percent of available light into the same tight focus. The extra mirrors, however, reduce by 20 to 30 percent the amount of light reaching the camera, he adds.
