Document Format 5. Keeping OHSW&IM Records 6. Access and Use of records • Procedure/Forms • References • Further Assistance Purpose The purpose of the OHSW&IM Document Control and Record Management Procedure is to outline the process for document and record management control at UniSA in accordance with OHSW legislative requirements and the requirements of the University OHSW&IM Management System. This procedure describes the methodology for ensuring that documents used in the OHSW&IM System and in a workplace are reviewed, updated (where necessary), approved and placed on the OHSW website in accordance with prescribed document control procedures. Definitions Records – "recorded information, in any form, including data in computer systems, created or received and maintained by an organisation or person in the transaction of business or the conduct of affairs and kept as evidence of such activity." (AS 4390.1 Australian Standard – Records Management). OHSW&IM Documents – are policies, procedures, guidelines, forms that define and record the OHSW&IM system and minutes of meetings where OHSW&IM is discussed. OHSW&IM Records – can include such things as; audit reports, workplace inspections, risk assessments, training needs analysis and plans, the OHS working group meeting agendas and minutes, emergency evacuation reports, health monitoring reports and testing, maintenance inspections and testing records, licensing and certification. Retention Period – the period for which a record must be kept before it may be destroyed. A controlled document or record – any document for which distribution and status are required to be kept current by the issuer to ensure that authorised holders or users have the most up to date version available. Document control – the process established to define controls needed for the management of OHSW&IM documentation. Roles and Responsibilities The Manager OHSW Services is responsible for: • the process of developing, reviewing, the approval process and currency of OHSW&IM documentation maintained on the OHSW website • the custodianship of University OHSW&IM System documentation. Line Managers are responsible for: • appointing a person within the workplace to ensure all OHSW & IM records are maintained in line with this procedure • ensuring OHSW&IM System documentation kept at the local level (School/Unit/Research Institutes) is maintained in accordance with this procedure. OHSW Services is responsible for: • ensuring effective systems are provided to assist the process of maintaining records. Staff are responsible for: • ensuring that the records that are created are managed so that they properly and adequately record evidence of the business activities of the work functions for which they are responsible • complying with this policy and related advice in creating, using and keeping records of university activities. Procedure for Document Control 1. Electronic Format All documentation that is used or introduced onto the OHSW&IM web site forms part of the UniSA OHSW&IM system. This documentation is to be maintained in electronic format and only current versions of documentation that form part of the OHSW&IM system are to appear on the UniSA OHSW&IM website. 2. Document Review A review schedule of existing OHSW&IM system documentation shall be maintained to ensure continuous improvement and a copy of the schedule is to be placed onto the OHSW&IM website. Proposed changes to OHSW&IM documentation is to be communicated to stakeholders for consideration and comment. Where a significant change to OHSW&IM documentation has the potential for University wide impact, (other than procedures, guidelines and forms), is proposed, a final draft shall be prepared for approval by the Senior Management Group (SMG). Where minor changes to a document are required the revised document is placed on the OHSW&IM website and communicated to relevant staff to facilitate implementation with the next review date entered onto the review schedule. The OHSW&IM documentation review schedule is to include; date of issue, last review date and next review date. Obsolete OHSW&IM documentation is to be archived electronically. OHSW&IM documents are to be reviewed on at least a three yearly cycle unless there is a change in legislation, a change in process or substance, or a requirement to review procedures following an incident or in response to continuous improvement of the OHSW&IM system. 3. New Documentation The requirement or need for any new documentation to be introduced to the OHSW&IM system may be initiated by the SMG, Manager OHSW or by recommendation of the University OHSW&IM Committee. The procedure for new documentation is as follows: • Development of a draft document for procedures, guidelines and forms is communicated to relevant stakeholders for consultation and comment and is placed in the Draft documents for comment section on the web page for feedback. • Where new documentation has the potential for University wide impact, (other than procedures, guidelines and forms), after consultation a final draft is to be prepared for approval by the Senior Management Group (SMG). • Once ratified the final document is placed onto the OHSW&IM website • Communication regarding a new document is provided to relevant staff to allow implementation. • This document is placed onto the review schedule. The approval date and the scheduled review date will be indicated on the schedule. 4. Document Format All OHSW&IM documents are to use standard format, specific to the document type. Workplaces are encouraged to review procedures and forms to ensure they are specific to their needs. The following is applicable to all procedures: • Title • Purpose • Definitions • Roles and responsibilities • Procedural content • Performance measures • Documents/ Forms • References Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) are to be developed using form OHSW8. All other documents and forms which are endorsed by UniSA should remain in the standard format with alterations to information or processes to meet the individual needs of each workplace. Each workplace shall appoint a person who has the responsibility to establish and maintain it's documentation. Workplace OHSW&IM hard copy documentation must be filed in an orderly manner and be readily located. Obsolete electronic and hard copy documents are to be archived and retained for legal and auditing purposes. 5.

Records are to be legibly documented either in writing or electronically and must include dates and the authorising personnel's name. The storage, indexing and identification of records shall facilitate their efficient and effective retrieval /replacement. Where possible all workplaces should maintain a workplace OHSW home page which incorporates all records and documents relevant to that area in an electronic format. All documents will be maintained in accordance with legislative requirements and will be kept within the workplace, either in hard copy or electronically, for auditing purposes. Any records that are archived outside of the workplace environment shall be recorded on the University Records Management System that lists: type, format (eg hardcopy, digital disk etc) retention period, storage location, and disposal date.

obf 's 4th of july xmas 2007 swap #2
Happy gardening to all sorry can't chat longer
but have to runs some errands this morning .
will catch up later.
Hi Friends,
Melissa, I will be gone for a few days starting tomorrow, my brothers wife died unexpectadly (sp) today so we are going to Okla tomorrow. I STILL will get your box in the mail on Monday though, I am taking a "plant cooler" plus my Dad has such a beautiful garden I will probably get cuttings of things from him, if ya don't want them hmmm well either they go in the trash or ya just smile and shake your head and stick them in the dirt somewhere. J/K I will email you before and ask first.
Smiles all and be safe always,
Trina (pixie)
retraction to my last umm update. I won't be gone until I hear something further from my daddy. He told me to stay put until they completed the autopsy and set a date for the funeral. Please remember my brother (Brice Scott) in ya'lls prayers.
Thanks and smiles,
Hi All,
Where the heck has everyone been? Seems everyone(including always forgetful me) missed Carol's birthday. I caught that all her children had a party with her on the newbie thread.
I had a very nice day yesterday. I went to the casino to have lunch with my father, brother and his girlfriend, and his mother. We didn't gamble. She works at the casino and gets a discount. I sold my brother my old truck. I had held on to it, and my father fixed it all. He used to be a drag racer.
Then I went out to Lewiston for gas on the Indian reservation. I had to go visit a couple nurseries out that way, lol. The one had really cool new cultivars, but oh my the prices! It was nice to look. Then I went out to another green house, but the do carry some nice perennials. Well, they were having a buy one get one free sale! I picked up 4, gallon, pots, including a monkshood. It was the last one left. I was excited about that, because I had one but my dog killed it last year.
Then in the evening, my store dept. had a bowling party. I didn't bowl, but it was fun to go out with everyone outside of work. I am going to miss working with them all.
Sorry about your sis-in-law. Your brother must be devastated.
Talk to you all later,
YES Remy your right we all have been off doing other things & forgot to take time to come wish my co-partner
A huge B-day wish hope she still loves me :)))
I know she was also busy with her family & really didn't have time to stop in here anyway :))) .
Sassyd : You have mail did you receive it ????
well it has been sprinkling since midnight a whole 1/2 " of rain , the heavy rain was yesterday about 1 mile up the road & not a drop here :( I will be sure that my next home will be in a rain belt area :))
looks as we will be having a few newbies join us & earthly
will be getting their info for us & will send everyone a copy for our records .
Dad's urologist just called they had canclelation for 8am tomorrow so will be taken him in tomorrow to set up the apt for his prostrate surgery .
daddy wants to get it done & over .:)
well better get my day going here wishing you all the best gardening day ever :)))
Now don't throw stones at me everyone, I'm not bragging here, but we are getting a nice rain here since last night. I hope everyone that is dry will get some soon.
Pixie, So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family.
Susie I received it, it was the last post on the old thread. I love it so much will get a pic posted. Thanks so much. Emailed you:)
Okay girls, if any show up, its about time to get the August swap posted for sign ups, could you please help with ideas other than just cookbooks? lol I think we need a little something else to it, Sue has given me some ideas which I'm thankful for and will use, but I want to hear what the rest of you want. And hurry, jeezzzzzzzzz tommorrow is the 18th! Can you believe it? I can't.
I need a dip in the pool!
Anyone got a towel?
Sassy (Stay cool)
Thank you all again for the condolences. The funeral is Thursday so we will be leaving tomorrow to go up there (to Okla). I dread the drive and am already ready to be home. We will be coming home on Friday or Saturday though, depends on the flip of the coin. I start a new job on Monday so I am pulling for Friday.
Deb, I hope you got the email about the box. I really am worried about the stress I put on the plants as I packed them, you will see when you unpack the box.
Annie, Thank you and girlie girl you just tell me when you need barrels of rain water and I will ship you some from "Fox" Lake (our backyard!!!). We had 4" yesterday and 2" today, not that I am complaining, WAITTT yes I ammmm, tired of the rain here in Houston! I can say its helping the grass and my mud (not "MUD" my dog).
Susie, your Daddy is in our thoughts and prayers.
Remy, thank you and yes my brother is Lost, but he is strong and will make it.
Ya'll have a great week full of rain and sunshine where its needed.
Trina ps. I love the Pool Kitty !!!!

YUCKIE, I am not a packer but my hubby is lol (opposites attract eh?) so we each have our own bags, me (just for two nights will take everything imaginable ":JUST IN CASE:" and he will take two pairs of socks, undies, jeans, shirts and a pair of shorts and a t shirt (ok so what if we just HAPPENED to get stranded???) Oh well.... Like I said I am already ready to be home, but I need to be there for my older brother.
Sleep well all. Specially those yawning kittys!
I'm glad your dad got to get in for an appointment quicker. Waiting can drive you crazy!
Glad you got some rain. It rained a little here, but we could use some more.
Lol! You're the hostess, now I know why you were laughing before. I'm a little slow, lol! You could have everyone include a local food item, like how I've sent local cookies before, or last month I sent Kim a little jar of local maple syrup.
Happening on plant sales like that is the best! I hate paying full price for anything, lol.
Have a good day everyone,

Welcome to the group Melissa, Trina, and the rest of the newbies who haven't posted yet!
Hi All,
It has been a busy few days. Another one of my nephews had a birthday party. This one had the reptile guy come. I love that! I'm not squeamish about snakes, frogs, etc. In fact I was one of the kids holding a snake scaring the other kids when I was small, lol.
My friend at work's son got in to the top ten on So You Think You Can Dance. That is very exciting. He gets to go on a tour of the country when the show is over no matter what happens now. They do make a stop in Buffalo, but I think they are going to need a bigger place or a couple of nights here. Oh and if he makes it a couple more weeks, they will fly my friend out to see the show. She though they wouldn't do that so I'm so excited for her.
Theresa and Sassy,
Lol about the pizza! I'm not sure I can afford FedEx pizzas : )
How many Bloomin' Friends are there? I don't have a clue, but I'll guess 22 players.
I'm on a vacation next week, but not going anywhere. After reading your post, I think Gary and I will make some pickles.

ihave the worst &*^%^&*( case of poison ivy, worse than i've ever had in my life. if you saw me, you would think i was from another planet, or a horror movie. i can't do a freakin thing, because clothes aren't all that compfortable, so i'm stuck in the house, staring out the window at blooms i should be photographing and scraping wallpaper off the spare room. it's been painted over, so it's a total PITA to get off. so far i've wet the walls and scraped what i could, i purchased a steamer, and that sucks and today i used DIF, and that's not working real well either. i've decided to totally remake my house, room by room and i plan on doing every bit of it and then i'll probably drop dead.
sad news in my family. my neice, who got married in april, her husband just learned he has a very rapidly spreading cancer - he doesn't have a long life ahead. my sister, who has had major heart problems, stents, angio and all that other stuff that goes along with it, was just hospitalized for chest pains and they had to do some other procedure and my BIL's mom is on her way out with lung cancer. when it rains it pours.
on a positive note, the baby just turned one. her birthday celebration is pushed ahead a few weeks until this grandmom's poison ivy clears up. and the fake dil is up to her mental nonsense again.
okay, enough blabbering, i'm itchy as all that and can't use anything to stop it due to allergic reactions to the ingredients in those products.
NEW GIRLS, get your Q's back as soon as possible.
i thought i was posting all this on august, so hopefully they will see.
sue, i saw that plaque remy sent, that is totally neat,i love it.
be well
Susie-So glad you liked the daylilies. Hope you have tons of blooms next year. Your Dad sounds like so much fun and he has it made you taking care of him and all. You are definetely a special lady. I did receive my plant book and can't wait to sit down some rainy day and read it. I love those kind of books and you always learn something you didn't know.
Maryanne-I feel for you I get that stuff every year. One thing though it has never gotten on my face just body, arms and legs. The best thing you can do is take the hottest shower ever when it gets unbearable. The hot shower is the only way I can sleep without scratching all night. It helps to dry it up too. Sorry to hear about all the bad news with your family. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. God Bless you all during all this. I cannot believe little punkin is one year old. Where does time go. Sheesh, it was only awhile back that she was born. Post pictures of the party I want to see her.
Remy-You just made my day with the great Christmas box you sent. You sure know how to make someone happy. I loved the Christmas wrapping, card and everything. Where did you find all the Christmas goodies this time of year?
Remy sent:
Ornament-Love this and it is such a keeper
candles-holiday sparkle (how cool is that)
ribbon-beautiful Santa ribbon
Big Leaf sculpture-I have the perfect place for this on my covered deck (I love stuff like this)
Anemone 'Montrose'
Sedum 'Bertram Anderson'
Sempervivum 'Red Beauty'
Caryopteris divaricata
Centranthus 'Jupiter's Beard'
What is a box without wonderful plants to top it off. I love them all and will be planting them tomorrow. I bought a hens and chick planter two years ago and never had any hens and chicks to put in it. Can't wait to plant them and see how it looks. Will post pictures when I get it put together.
Carol had my name but Remy says they switched names. Yes it was a surprise when I saw who the box was from. I thought I had forgot a trade or something. Thanks Remy you're the best.
Hi all,
Maryanne, I just emailed you for the questionaire, I will return it asap. Like Melissa, am also very excited to become a member of this group! Your family will be in our prayers also. I am also sorry about the poison Ivy YUCKIE, I am one of the fortunate ones that is not allergic to it by all my boys can stand far away from the stuff and the wind will blow it on them and they are covered bad in itchies! I feel for you. We use a stuff called CalaGel by Oaks-N-Ivy, its clear and really helps the itch and dries it quickly. Wal-mart carries it.
I'm butting in here, I know... :O) But I had a horrible case of poison Ivy on my arms last month, also. I had decided to remove 300+ ditch lilies from along our road, and in the middle of that was poison ivy & poison oak. So by pulling that up by the roots also, I had it from my ears to my belly button.
Big horrible blisters, and my arms swelled so big .. I had to wear tank tops, which just made it worse...
ANYWAY, nothing was working. I tried all the home remedies, EVERYTHING, and then a co-worker told me to try Jewelweed salve.
I did, and it cleared it up by the next day!! I am not kidding! I was amazed...I usually think my co-worker is full of bologna...but he knew what he was talking about this time.
There's a place on Ebay that sells it, it's $7.95 (includes shipping). The sellers name is Jewelweed44, Go to their store, they also have soaps. They ship out very quickly too, within a day or 2. (which feels like forever when you're suffering!)
It can also be used to prevent breaking out, just put some on before you work out side, and remember to wash it off and reapply when you get back in.
It works great that way, my kids haven't gotten poison ivy all summer, and they play in it all the time! (they usually get it horribly!)
Now that I've butted in...I'll back out. lol :O)
But I hope that helps?
ANNE: I received the wounderful plant markers today dad ask me if i was going to mark the path though the garden with them for him :)) just being a smarty .
I sure do love how bigggggg they are & I will problem
want to send you the money to pick up more for me ;))) .
I love trading with all my Gardening friends everyone seems to find something special or unique to send in our boxes :)) I hate for my month as hostess to end:))hehehe
just as the rest of you who have been a hostess :)
it is fun to be surprised :).
MELISSA : It is Not called butting in when any of our new & older friends can give us a few trusted & tried tips :))
I had sent earthly/maryanne some tansy plant to plant in her garden when it gets tall cut & hang it to dry .
then bag it up like tea . when you get the poison Ivy or oak steep this like tea then use a cotton ball to put it on the IVY . this will dry the Ivy up the same as those exspensive meds . some drink it also I don't care for the taste .
I have loads of it so let me know if you want any for your gardens .
ok you all have till SUNDAY eve to get your guess in for the prise .
shirley I forgot to let you know I loved the irises also & they are all doing great I was just so excited about the daylilies :)) thank you .
also want to take this time to wish one our newbies
ANANDA A very
OH & Thank you Annie For sharing the pic's
So glad you like your hostess gift. That is so funny about your father! I can just imagine the whole conversation, lol.
I'm so sorry to hear about your relatives. It does seem to happen all at once, doesn't it. I'm also sorry to hear about your poison ivy too! What Melissa says is true. Jewelweed is a cure for poison ivy.
Thanks! I'm glad I made you happy : ) That is cool that you have a hens and chicks planter to use. You have to remember I work in a store, so I'm always getting the discontinued items at a good price. Oh and the ornament, a store near me has them out already! I just had to get it; it was too cute.
That is horrible about getting blisters. I have gotten allergic blisters from being operated on so now I have to have the no latex thing when I go to the hospital. Funny thing is for all my allergies, I, like Trina, have never had a reaction to poison ivy.
Have a good night everyone,
Susie, If it works I would love some for here! Seems like my boys are always getting it and I would rather do the homemedics. I can send you postage or whatever you would like. I have also heard that Tansy works wonders on mosquito bites as well as chiggars.
Trina (pixiesluvplants)
I am going to have to make a shopping trip to ebay also, cause that poison ivy, oak, and sumac causes havoc around here, bad enough to have me take the boys for a cortizone shot! (well they are old enough now to drive themselves but still!)
Great Tip Melissa!!! thanks! I just can't imagine the ouchies that people go through with that stuff but I symphathize.
I think Remy guessed 22. She's probably alot closer! :O)
Today is such a nice, cool morning! No humidity at all! So surprising, for Arkansas! :O) I think I'll go out and do some weeding that I've been putting off.
Hope everyone has a great Monday! :O)
Hello friends & fellow gardening nuts,
Loooong time no chat, huh? Well, it's about all that which has me posting today.
Just wanted to say hello to you all & let y'all know I have to drop out of the OBF group. I just have too many commitments on my time, energy & funds these days to be a good player/swap pal. You've all been wonderful to play & swap with and I hope we can still do some individual swaps occassionally.
If I have time & such, I'll check to see if you gals have any "open" RRs posted (if & when!) as it happens. ;p
Email me if you want and hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful summer! (Yep, that jewelweed works great for poison ivy!!)
Anyhow, best of the best to all you lovely ladies!!!
Your pal,
DizzyDaffodil ~ Susann
I will miss you, too, Dizzy. Wow, those packages you sent to me were overwhelming - you were so generous. I wanted to have the opportunity to send too much to you in a swap sometime! LOL
Maybe we will get to do some other type of swap sometime.
Oh Dizzy, hate to hear this. I've been wondering about you too girl. Hope everything gets better, its tough when you start feeling so stressed out. Wish you and your family well! Come back when you can. You know you can always stop in and just speak:)
Susie & SueG your boxes are packed up and will be shipped 1st thing tommorrow, will be arriving UPS. Will let you know when I get the conf. #'s........
Goodnite everyone
To both Sues, I didn't realize it was so late when I posted but both boxes were shipped yesterday, so you should both get them tommorrow or Friday. I made it sound like they wouldn't ship till today. My SIL forgot to give me the conf. #'s but I know they're shipped.
Remy, think they'd ship those pizza's COD?
Susann, I, too, am so sorry that you are leaving our group. Whenever I look at my bottle of gold, I always think of you! You do know that anytime in the future that you feel that you want to come back, we will welcome you with open arms.
Mary Ellen
Well, I'm back home again, and hope everyone is having a great day! The advantage of being on the road is I get to stop and look around at different nurseries, and shops.
Carol, your package will be in the mail to you tomorrow, I do hope you like what I've selected for you because I've found things for you in a 150 mile radius of me.LOL I will post the delivery confirmatin numbers when I close up the package/packages.
Dizzy, so sorry to see you go, but like everyone else I will welcome you with open arms.

Shirley my box arrived today.
ty so much for a wonderful box. DH will get out in the AM and plant the things
Sorry i have been MIA. I thought the knee situation was fixed. it was for a bit. Now its both knees. I cant hardly walk. i spend most of the time sitting with them straight out supported by a pillow. and to top it off my stupid self tried to remove some brush 2 weeks ago from at edge of our woods. There went the back too. Dr did blood work today. I get results in coulple days. he thinks i have an infection in my joints or the rheumatoid arthritis is majorly flaring up.
Ive even missed some good stuff on the Co-Op!
Will try to get my partners box out by Saturday Morning. DH can do it then.
My box had
red snowman candle
christmas ball ornament
christmas favorites cd ( i will enjoy this)
02 cool water misting fan.......this is nice ty! will make sure i keep it on my gardening wagon next time i can get out
reindeer note pad
singing stuffed penguin
bearded iris: cozy calico, amain, feedback, arkansas skies
daylily: spacecoast sonata, lion king, bradley bernard, christmas is, frankies fantasy, firestorm
Sue, don't think I included the name or photo, but I'll get it to you, they are like triple blossoms, very top heavy, take my word for it, plant them very deep, you'll think they won't come up, because they're so deep, they will! I've suffered for years with these popping up and falling into the dirt when they bloom, this past year they didn't. But had to wait till the foliage died back to go dig them up. Are those the biggest daffodil bulbs you've ever seen? LOL, they're MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoy, I'll send you a pic and a name! Also, thats not all of your hostess gift, other will be sent with your daylily box which is going out tommorrow (Friday) so you should have it on Monday. (Ok, its NOT a daylily, but something you want! Wonder what? LOL, have fun wondering!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! in July! LOL (Well when a girls got a bed ready something needs to sleep in it!!!) *giggles*
They are soaking they're little footies right now and will be packed up first thing! Hope you like! I was able to add some you asked for and some you didn't, but I think you'll be happy. After you get them, I'll send you pics of the blooms from my garden. (Don't want to spoil the surprise!) I have them tagged/named for you. I'm so excited! I hope you like them!
I'm sorry to here you are having such problems with your knees. I'm glad that your husband is being a sweetie and helping you : )
It sounds like you had some fun being on the road! I like to stop at places too. Gary used to hate that. But he is getting better about it.
I think Hummingbirddaisy got disneyed or decided to quit GW. For some reason, I feel she couldn't post anymore.
Have a good night everyone,
Kim, if I remember right, I'm your receiving partner. I'm telling you, please don't feel stressed to get a box out to me, actually, I will be really upset if you hurt yourself worring about a stupid box. You take care of yourself, when your knees are better send it when you can. Enough said! You just worry about taking care of yourself!
Girl my knees are going too, runs down a long line of women in my family, I dread it, but it almost on me, my Mom had a knee replacement and they had to go back in, now they're waiting for that one to heal so they can do the other knee. Not looking forward to it.
Feel better,
SASSYD YES YOUR RIGHT THEY ARE VERY NICE BIG BULBS & THANKS for letting me know to plant them deep for i don't like droopy plants :))))

well daddy is waiting for me to fix supper going to be lite tonight very warm out & to hot to turn on the stove :))
SueG I'm glad you liked everything, maybe your dd will let you borrow her eye gel mask, lol. I hate our little bee got broken, dang it, thought it was too cute. I'm so embarrassed, I realized less than an hour after that box shipped that I had forgotten your Christmas ornament, I'm so sorry. And I would have wrapped stuff in Christmas paper but, with moving last spring, it all went in the trash, for me at that time, it was easier than something else to take care of and move. I need one of those containers for wrapping paper. Anyway, hope you enjoy.
SueK, your box was shipped today full of plants! The daylilies are part of our trade, the other surprises are part of your hostess gift for this swap. Enjoy! Here's the UPS confirm # 1z6408w10357017920 Its not showing much right now, but I'm sure she sent it 2 day so you'll get in on Monday. When you receive the box, I'll send you pics from my garden so you can keep track, lol, you gotta tell me how you like my idea for 'plant labeling'. Hey when you're out of tags you make up what you have to that works!
Hope everyone has a good weekend, we're getting a little rain right now, god we need it so desperately. I'm praying it doesn't stop for a while. Then tommorrow, it'll be back to 100 and burning everything to death like usual.
Later girls........

Darren Sproles exits after hit to helmet
SAN DIEGO -- Chargers running back Darren Sproles sustained a concussion when he was knocked down by a helmet-to-helmet hit by Oakland's Rolando McClain just before halftime Sunday.
AFC West blog
ESPN.com's Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.
Sproles caught a pass from Philip Rivers and had turned to run when he was hit by McClain. The Raiders linebacker led with his shoulder, but the side of his helmet hit Sproles' helmet. Sproles was on the ground for a few minutes before walking off the field.
The hit was legal, referee John Parry said after the Raiders' 28-13 win.
"We had three guys looking at it, the back judge, field judge, line judge," Parry said. "All three felt that he gained possession, took a minimum of three steps and now he is considered a runner so helmet-to-helmet contact is off.
"You can't hit helmet-to-helmet on a defenseless player," Parry added. "He was not considered defenseless. He was considered a runner because of the act of possession was complete, the minimum of three steps were taken, so he was now deemed to be a runner so helmet-to-helmet contact is legal."
Sproles didn't return.

Trout and salmon staging for their fall finale
Trout and salmon staging for their fall finale
Wisconsin's woodlands are getting ready for their annual show of colors, but they're not the only show in town.
Wisconsin's waters are preparing their own annual fall show -- the trout and salmon spawning runs.
"October is a great time for fishing and for 'fish watching' in the rivers as jumping salmon put on quite a show," says Matt Coffaro, DNR fisheries biologist.

Closing disability centers is an injustice
A wise man once said, "You can tell a just society from that which practices injustice, by the way it treats those who are the weakest, those who have no voice or advocate." An injustice is planned in the State of Illinois by those in power; and it must be counteracted by those who are sensitive to the needs of the weak. The injustice is the planned closing of the Mabley Center in Dixon, and the Jacksonville Developmental Center, where physically and developmentally disabled citizens of the state of Illinois reside.
The proposal places numerous adults in danger, and the threat of danger is causing parents and other relatives anxiety and sleepless nights. We surely recognize that some residents of these facilities would be able to make the transition. But there are those who need the stability they have found in the Mabley and Jacksonville facilities and whose families are desperate for their children and relatives to maintain that stability. The average group homes simply cannot provide for the needs of those who are at the lower end of the spectrum of disability.
What is to happen to them? The answer to that question lies in the hands of those of you who are in power, those for whom we voted and whom we trust. We beg you to reconsider this budget-cutting situation and instead find a way to place the needs of the weak before this unconscionable action.

49ers' Hunter can't afford to rest
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Kendall Hunter's phone wasn't blowing up with messages the night the rookie running back scored the 49ers' first touchdown of the preseason on a dazzling play in the third quarter.
Outside of a brief chat with his mother shortly after the game, Hunter didn't receive many congratulatory calls or text messages at all.
"And she didn't see the game, she just saw the stats," Hunter said before practice Tuesday. "I didn't talk to too many other people."
That's exactly how the 49ers' fourth-round pick prefers it.
With more than two weeks left before the start of the regular season, the last thing the soft-spoken Hunter wants to do is get comfortable. Pats on the back can wait until Sept. 3 when final roster cuts are made.
Until then the smallest player on San Francisco's roster won't relax - even if many people are already penciling him as a key member of the 49ers backfield.
"He's definitely a guy who brings his lunch bucket to work," fellow running back Anthony Dixon said. "It's a long season and if we've got a guy like Kendall who can help us, take some of the practice reps off us and help us in games, that's big because we're going to need him. I just hope the coaches put it all in play."
Listed at 5-foot-7 and 199 pounds, Hunter is third on San Francisco's depth chart behind oft-injured Frank Gore and Dixon. But the two-time All-American proved against the Raiders he's capable of handling just about anything the coaching staff throws his way.
He rushed for 105 yards on nine carries and scored on a 53-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter against Oakland's second-team defense.
Hunter took the handoff from quarterback Colin Kaepernick, broke through the right side of the line without being touched and then sped past a tackle attempt by safety Jerome Boyd. He raced the rest of the way into the end zone.
It was the 49ers' first touchdown of the season after being held to three points against New Orleans then getting only a field goal in the first half against Oakland.
"As a player I was taught that if you're going to do something, do it the hardest you can or don't do it at all," Hunter said. "I mean, that was good but I just want to be out there to help the team any way I can. Whatever they need me to do, I'm going to do. Anything."
That includes sacrificing his body to save the 49ers quarterbacks.
Hunter, who has been playing with a metal plate in his right ankle since his junior year of high school, worked on his pass protection throughout training camp. But it didn't come to fruition until the second half Saturday when he upended a blitzing Oakland linebacker, allowing Kaepernick a few extra seconds to work.
So while he may be dwarfed by his teammates in the running backs meeting room, Hunter finally measured up.
"He's done considerably well," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said after his team's 17-3 win. "(Running backs coach Tom Rathman) has him working on that quite a bit in practice and he's really done a good job."

I wish Deseret News would do more stories on women doing something with their lives in addition to being moms. Good for this woman and hats off to her husband for being courageous enough to help his wife follow her dreams and fulfill her capacity.

A quick response to chinookdocotr. Let us never forget that the greatest role a woman can fulfill in this life is to be an effective mother. I am concerned that the comment; "...doing something with their lives in addition to be moms." has an undertone that perhaps someone who spends a majority of thier time being a mom simply isn't leading a fulfilling life or allowing that person to: "follow her dreams and fulfill her capacity." I know many good women who have sacrificed much for the good of their children and have no doubt they will be rewarded greatly not only in this life, but in the life to follow. My congratulations also to our Mormon athlete we are proud of her and her family.

Jumpin Jack: I think you are jumpin' to contusions. Our society doesn't have the expectation that a man will do nothing else with his life than be a dad. Yet, being a dad is the single most important activity a man will ever do. Women are AT LEAST as capable as men in fulfilling parental roles and "doing something else."

On there being "no American culture"
[Nov. 1st, 2011|
07:55 pm
(inspired by a comment on MCS)
One of the perils of living abroad is being asked about your country of origin. Like "So, tell me about America."
Go on. Try to think of a coherent answer. "Well, there are, um, spacious skies, and, uh, a lot of amber waves of grain." Not good enough! They don't want to know about the geography! They want to know about
The easiest solution is to make something up. "The worst part is the constant gunfights that take place in the streets. It's usually the FBI attacking the black people, but sometimes the terrorists and the local sheriff join in. That's why we drive such big cars, for extra protection. But it's all worth it when we get back home, curl up on the couch with a Bud Light, and watch the traditional Friday night Super Bowl being played amidst all the amber grain waves." My Japanese co-workers would have believed that. In fact, most Japanese people
believe this.
But Irish people usually have family in the States, so they know better. So you've got to think quick.
One answer I have seen my friends give, and which I completely oppose, is "Well, there's really no such thing as American culture. Because it's such a big country. I mean, there's Californian culture, and New England culture, and Deep South culture, but there's no one US culture, not in the same way there's an Italian culture or a Chinese culture."
I oppose this because I think if you mentioned to to a Chinese or Italian person, they would laugh in your face.
Italy has a persistent and growing secessionist movement polling at over 25% in some provinces that wants Northern Italy to break off and become a separate country because they hate the southern Italians so much. And China's provinces have long histories as parts of entirely different kingdoms for centuries and mostly speak entirely different
Either one of those two countries has greater regional diversity than we do with our paltry three hundred years of population drift. And so a Chinese person could very easily become overwhelmed with the variety and say that there was no one Chinese culture. But she would be wrong. And we Americans know she would be wrong, because we have a skill the Chinese cannot match - the ability to easily see the contents of Chinese culture. A short list might include collectivist tendencies, exaggerated respect for elders, and lots and lots of noodles.
But the Chinese, for their part, have a power just as far beyond our grasp - the ability to see the contents of American culture. Their list might include individualist tendencies, insufficient respect for elders, and not enough noodles.
Spiders also have strong opinions on American culture. They say it's about having six fewer eyes than normal and building suburban housing tracts instead of webs.
An American with no standard for comparison won't self-generate the belief that American culture de-emphasizes the family any more than an average person would think, unprovoked, "Y'know, it's interesting to notice that we humans have a very low number of eyes." And so Americans in this sort of situation may notice only that when they went to Texas, everyone there wore big hats and ate greasy food. And so they think "America may not have a culture, but Texas has a culture, and I suppose my own state has a culture of having smaller hats than Texas does."
It is a running joke among Asians how much bread Westerners eat all the time, pretty much in precisely the same way it is a running joke among Westerners how much rice Asians eat all the time. When I taught one of my Japanese students the Lord's Prayer, and we got to to the part about giving us this day our daily bread, she thought it was hilarious that we liked bread so much we specifically asked God for more of it. But that construction - "bread" for "meal" - is
equivalent to the Japanese word
which can mean either "rice" or "meal" depending on the context.
So whenever someone says that America is too big and varied to have any unifying cultural traits, I am tempted to tell them "That's not true! We all eat hilarious amounts of bread!"
, I think if an Irish person asks me to tell them about America, the best answer is to consider how I would describe Ireland to an American friend, and then say exactly the opposite. "You wouldn't believe how little beer we drink, or how little rain we get! And our politicians almost never send the economy into a catastrophic death spiral destroying the prospects of an entire generation."

Overcoming Bias
once had an article, which I can't find anymore, saying that people should try to brag about charity as much as possible.
The argument was that the goal of charity is to help others, not to show how humble you are. If you are allowed to brag about your charity, that makes people more likely to donate - so we should all do as much as we can to praise and encourage bragging about charity.
Also, if people brag about charity, that might make other people feel like they're being left out, and make them donate to charity so they're not the only one at the office talking about how much they've given to charity this month.
The heuristic "never brag about charity" seems more tuned to avoid annoyance to rich potential donors than to get as much money to charity as possible.

Pah! That's just you crazy americans justifying your braggy ways! :P
I can get behind that from a logical standpoint, but... the visceral reaction is still pretty strongly against. What really fascinates (and irritates) me is that I can't think of any logical reason to back up my feelings about "bragging" in this circumstance - in particular, it seems really awful that noone's allowed to derive any pleasure or benefit from good, edifying behaviour (except incidentally), and yet we'll still chuckle conspiratorially and high-five a peer for gained the upper hand in a rude or even cruel way. A says they did something nice for someone, and yet I'm (at least reflexively) backing B's who has said something likely to be quite hurtful to A. (I re-read my previous comment after you'd commented and it sounded horribly like a passive-aggressive way to complain about someone getting on my wick, but FWIW I am actually quite interested to inspect my immediate reaction)
The idea seems to be ensure that noone elevates themselves above any other person (thus, "bringing X down a peg or two" is lauded). I can imagine that's one of the shortcomings of living in a traditionally egalitarian culture (as opposed to what could be described as an aspirational one). The phrase Tall Poppy Syndrome is bandied about a *lot* in NZ - it's a fair call, although the phrase is now also used a lot by powerful people to counter genuine criticism, so it's a two-edged sword.

Platycodon seeds ... do they require cold stratification?
Planted several double white balloon flowers at my folks place that I picked up at a farmer's market. I was thinking of having my folks harvest the pods for me after they ripen and trying to start some from seeds to save some money. Anyone know if the seeds require a cold stratification to germinate? For that matter, any other hints/advice for planting?
Swallowtail Garden Seeds website: "Kept at 65-70 F., germination is in 21-30 days. Seedlings are fragile and must be handled with care." I've winter sowed them and summer sowed them--great germination either way. They're late to come up in the spring, so mark where you planted them. This year I laid down cardboard & mulch over top of them by mistake. A couple of weeks later the mulch kept rising up higher and higher. When I looked to see what was going on, I saw my oldest clump of balloon flower coming up under it.
They have a long taproot and resent being disturbed so plant them where you want them. That being said, I dug mine up from my old house and brought them here 5 years ago and they never missed a beat. My blue ones get pretty tall and flop over so I usually whack them down to about 8-10" the last week of May. They stay in a compact clump and produce lots more flowers that way.
I can't say for certain but don't think Paul needs to worry about them reverting. I also grow double white balloon flowers and they come back reliably season after season, growing just 18-22" tall. Right now they're loaded with plump seed pods that I will harvest once they're ripe enough.
