Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
25 cents to wash blood off your T-shirt
When a fire at the Tazreen garment factory in Bangladesh killed 112 people in November, many wondered what more it would take before something would be done to improve labour conditions in the country, the world's No. 2 clothing exporter.
The world didn't have to wait long for the next test: the collapse on April 25 of Rana Plaza, an eight-storey building housing multiple factories. At least 403 people have died. In total, more than 1,000 garment workers have been killed in Bangladesh since 2005, according to the International Labor Rights Forum, an advocacy group.
Sewing clothes isn't inherently dangerous. Deaths can be prevented if factories adhere to basic fire and structural standards. Can this happen in Bangladesh, where in 30 years the garment industry grew from nothing to an $18 billion a year business on the premise of cheap labour and minimal effective regulation? It's an example of the kind of tough challenge that, increasingly, producers and consumers in a global marketplace must jointly meet.
Yes, it would be ideal if the government firmly enforced building codes and fire standards. But Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest countries. Don't expect it to have a first-rate enforcement regime. Moreover, owners of the small and medium factories that are typically the most unsafe can't afford to make major improvements; to survive in the competitive world of outsourcers, they generally operate on slim profit margins.
So who's left? At this point, Western retailers and consumers, who have the immediate wherewithal to effect change. First-world consumers have been the chief beneficiaries of the growth of garment manufacturing in Bangladesh and other developing countries. Americans are reaping bargains by importing more than 97 per cent of what they wear. Since 1998, women's clothing costs have fallen seven per cent, and men's have fallen eight per cent.
Creating safe work conditions in Bangladesh wouldn't put much of a dent in those savings. The Worker Rights Consortium, an independent labor rights monitoring group, estimates it would cost $600,000 on average to elevate each of the country's 5,000 factories to Western safety standards, for a total of $3 billion. If the $3 billion were spread over five years, it would add less than 10 cents to the factory price of each of the seven billion garments that Bangladesh sells each year to Western brands. If the factory owner passed on that cost to the retailer and the retailer passed it on to the consumer, with markups, this could mean, perhaps, a 25-cent increase for the final buyer per item.
These changes would hardly price Bangladesh out of the market. Its garment workers are guaranteed a minimum wage of only 18 cents an hour, less than half what the next cheapest competitors, in Cambodia, earn.
For global brand retailers, ensuring factories are safe is not only right, but also smart. Remember the consumer backlash over conditions in Vietnamese factories that made Nike products? During the 1990s, that cost the company sales and share value. Major retailers caught up in the Rana Plaza collapse include Associated British Food's Primark and Loblaw Cos.' Joe Fresh. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. was supplied by Tazreen. More catastrophes could expose these companies to harsh scrutiny.
On the other hand, global brands that take steps to improve working conditions can potentially charge a premium for their wares: A 2009 study undertaken at a major retail store in New York suggested that companies could use "social labelling" to charge from 10 per cent to 20 per cent extra and still expect sales to rise.
Retailers can ensure factory improvements are made by signing on to the Fire and Building Safety Agreement for Bangladesh, a program promoted by workers' rights advocates. The agreement would establish a chief inspector -- independent of companies, trade unions and factories -- to execute a safety program. Audits of hazards would be made public. Corrective actions recommended by the inspector would be mandatory.
Retailers would agree to pay factories enough so that they could afford renovations, and retailers would be forbidden from doing business with noncompliant facilities. These obligations would be enforceable through the courts in retailers' home countries.
The inclusion of labour representatives on the task force overseeing the agreement would build employee confidence in factory safety. So would a clause establishing that workers make up at least half the members of factory health and safety committees.
So that the program will have sufficient leverage over factories, it is to go into effect only after four retailers have signed on. The German retailer Tchibo and PVH Corp. have agreed so far. PVH did so only after it came to light its brand Tommy Hilfiger had resumed business with a Bangladesh factory where 29 people were killed in a fire.
For the retailers that have held back, signing now offers protection for Bangladesh's workers and against such scandals. Failing such reforms, the "Made in Bangladesh" label seems likely to turn into a scarlet letter.

This show only has one easily looked past drawback - the sound quality in the dub is sometimes poor and sounds like it was recorded in an echo-y room. Don't let it turn you off in the beginning. Keep watching, and you'll enjoy it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:One of my Favorite Shows!This is a great series. I love how we get to explore Lelouch's power and the different ways he uses it throughout the show. The mecha designs are great and so are the fight scenes. It is also interesting to see the dynamic between Lelouch and his friends as he tries to hide his true identity from them, all while his best friend is working for the enemy!

ALCS Game 2 lineups: Tigers vs. Red Sox
Oct 13, 2013, 5:02 PM EDT
Below are the starting lineups for Game 2 of the ALCS between the Tigers and Red Sox at Boston's Fenway Park. First pitch is scheduled for just after 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX. Detroit leads the best-of-seven Championship Series 1-0 after Saturday's victory.
Detroit Tigers
CF Austin Jackson
RF Torii Hunter
3B Miguel Cabrera
1B Prince Fielder
DH Victor Martinez
SS Jhonny Peralta
C Alex Avila
2B Omar Infante
LF Don Kelly
SP Max Scherzer
Boston Red Sox
CF Jacoby Ellsbury
RF Shane Victorino
2B Dustin Pedroia
DH David Ortiz
1B Mike Carp
LF Jonny Gomes
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia
SS Stephen Drew
3B Will Middlebrooks
SP Clay Buchholz
Detroit is using the same starting lineup from last week's ALDS Game 5 win over the A's at Oakland's O.co Coliseum. It's only the second start at shortstop for Peralta since he returned from his 50-game performance-enhancing drug suspension. He had been playing primarily in left field. Jose Iglesias will be available off the bench as a pinch-runner or defensive replacement. The Red Sox, as expected, have subbed Carp for Mike Napoli at first base and Gomes for Daniel Nava in left field. We'll have updates all night here on HBT.

Good aside from the fact that they'd be better off with Castenellos in LF(is he on the post season roster?). Otherwise, its probably the best chance to win.
- historiophiliac - Oct 13, 2013 at 7:24 PM
It does not appear that he is on the post-season roster.
- Reflex - Oct 13, 2013 at 8:02 PM
I'm sure Don Kelly offered more upside… *sigh*
- historiophiliac - Oct 13, 2013 at 8:06 PM
You don't have to tell me. I know Casty (hmm, I gotta come up with one for him too) is good but he has less experience than Tui. I wanted them to use Tui but his bat got cold and, well, you know how Leyland feels about having a bland white boy on the roster. *double sigh*
- Reflex - Oct 13, 2013 at 8:16 PM
Talent means more than experience and all of these guys have been playing since middle school at least. I'll take inexperienced with tremendous talent over experienced and below average any day. Worst you can production expect out of someone like Casty is, well, Don Kelly.
- Reflex - Oct 13, 2013 at 8:17 PM
*worst case production you can expect
Edit function?
- georgewashingtonsghost - Oct 13, 2013 at 6:42 PM
I feel better with Iglesias in the lineup (or more specifically, in the field.). In Comerica, I can understand not wanting Peralta trying to man LF, but there isn't nearly as much ground to cover in Fenway. Plus, the SS often is needed to back up the LF for plays off the Monster which is another reason to have the much rangier Iglesias at SS. And regarding the line-up, I don't think Kelly is that much of an offensive upgrade to warrant the defensive hit caused by moving Peralta to SS. All that said, Leyland's been doing this for a long time and he's been pretty successful at it, so I guess I'll cut him a bit of slack.

Jones hoping for lucky seventh
PA Sport
November 17, 2008

Wales star Stephen Jones is braced for his seventh attempt to beat the mighty All Blacks - but admits: "It's a big 'ask'".
Jones is a clear favourite to wear the number 10 shirt on Saturday, especially because his principal fly-half rival James Hook has been given only a 50-50 chance of recovering in time from knee tendon trouble. He can only hope the tide will turn - given a personal record against New Zealand of played six, lost six and an average scoreline of All Blacks 44 Wales 16.
Jones was captain the last time Wales met New Zealand in Cardiff two years ago, when the game - and result - followed a predictable pattern. But the 30-year-old can also take heart from two occasions in recent Test history when Wales almost bucked the trend. He said: "All the games have been tough encounters, as you would expect, but some memorable ones as well.
"I enjoyed the 2003 World Cup match in Sydney (Wales lost 53-37 but scored four tries). That was a great game of rugby, and the first time everything we'd worked on had come into line. The game at the Millennium Stadium four years ago, when we were beaten 26-25, was frustrating - but at least it showed we were there.
"When you play the best teams in the world, you've got to have self-belief and back yourself. You know you are going to get bumped and bruised, but it's about staying focused and making sure you implement your role that the coaches want. You cannot get distracted from that. It's how you perform on the pitch - that is all that counts."
New Zealand are halfway towards completing another successful grand slam tour, having comfortably defeated Scotland and Ireland without conceding a try. It is 55 years since Wales last toppled them - a run of 19 successive defeats that has contributed towards the RBS 6 Nations champions' status as rank outsiders this weekend. Jones added: "They've got a great passing and kicking game, so from a defensive point of view they pose a threat in every aspect.
"They are very good in the contact area, and in the tackle the collisions are very physical. That is where you have to match them and compete with them. It is about performing and winning. We didn't do that against South Africa (nine days ago), and it is a big 'ask' for us on Saturday. But provided we meet our targets and objectives, it should be a good game. New Zealand are a very clever team, but we need to control what we can control.
"New Zealand have got a lot of pace throughout the side, so if you are not sharp defensively they cut you. Once they cut you, they have the ability to score straightaway and not go through another phase because they've got plenty of 'gas' in their side. We've also got to be smart when we've got the ball. We can't just turn the ball over and allow them to keep on throwing everything at us, because eventually they will break you down.
"We have to ask questions of them - that's the way you have to play."
Jones is also set to renew his rivalry with genial All Blacks playmaker Dan Carter, who has scored 73 points in four appearances against Wales - 32 more than Wales' total output during those Tests. Jones said: "Dan Carter is a fantastic player and he deserves all the praise and credit he gets. As a player, you enjoy playing against the best - and he's certainly the best. It's great.
"I just saw that statistic of him scoring 73 points. But it is not just his goalkicking - his general all-round play has contributed to the team's success against us. I am fully aware of the history with Wales and New Zealand. But the players just think about what they can effect, what they can control on the rugby side of things.
"The working week is quite intensive. You've got your homework to do and your preparation to do, so it distracts you from the statistics in a way."
Wales boss Warren Gatland will name his team tomorrow - and it could be unchanged from the side beaten 20-15 by the Springboks. Dwayne Peel is exerting pressure on scrum-half incumbent Gareth Cooper. But switches are more likely among the replacements, where 19-year-old Dan Biggar looks set to feature.
Hook, meanwhile, limped off during Wales' 34-13 victory over Canada last Friday night and is battling to regain full fitness in time for the All Blacks. Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards said: "His treatment is on-going, and I am pretty sure we will have to make a decision on Tuesday to give him as long as possible to make selection. I suppose it's 50-50 - but I am not a physio."

Protecting Our Brains From Datamining 100
from the we-all-know-what-your-brain-would-tell-us dept.
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).
Here we propose an integration of a personal neuroinformatics system, Smartphone Brain Scanner, with a general privacy framework openPDS. We show how raw high-dimensionality data can be collected on a mobile device, uploaded to a server, and subsequently operated on and accessed by applications or researchers, without disclosing the raw signal. Those extracted features of the raw signal, called answers, are of significantly lower-dimensionality, and provide the full utility of the data in given context, without the risk of disclosing sensitive raw signal. Such architecture significantly mitigates a very serious privacy risk related to raw EEG recordings floating around and being used and reused for various purposes.
So MIT pisses away cash on research that comes up with "Just anonymize the data, sorta, before shipping it off to advertisers and you'll be protected, sorta."? And of course it's peppered with meaningless shit like "personal neuroinformatics system", "smarthphone", and "privacy framework".
Hey MIT, give me a research grant and I'll come up with an actual solution. Hint: Don't let people put EEG sensors on or around your head for a game, a video, etc. in the first place and you won't have the problem of them selling it to nefarious parties who would use it against you. Much more effective than the proposed equivalent of "Do Not Track" for brainwaves.
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. -- R. A. Heinlein

Pickled Dilly Beans with Garlic and Cayenne Pepper
Our green bean season is all but finished here in northeast Wisconsin, but a friend of mine down in Texas mentioned that she just planted her fall crop of beans and it is coming along nicely. So, for my southern gardening friends, and for northern gardening friends to pin for next season, I'm sharing the dilly bean recipe that I made up earlier this year.
Home canned dilly beans are another recipe that always reminds me of mom, like the pickled beets I shared a couple of weeks ago. Vinegar pickles of all different types were a staple growing up on the farm, from the jewel red beets to the slippery pickled mushrooms. I remember one year when mom did a huge crock of some sort of cucumber pickles in a corner of the kitchen, but I don't remember what recipe she used. I have to ask my siblings and see if anyone else remembers. Pickled veggies add a great crunch to any meal and may help aid digestion by adding a bit of acidity to the mix. Pickling (adding vinegar and salt) also allows you to water bath can vegetables that would otherwise require pressure canning. [Read more…]
How to Make Hard Cider
The most basic hard apple cider can be made on your counter top in a matter of days, and is one of the easiest home ferments. For long term storage, you need a bit more equipment, time and patience, but it's still a fairly straightforward process. I'll share three ways to make hard cider in this post.
Did you know that back in colonial times, most apples were pressed into cider? And since there was no refrigeration, the only fresh apple cider came right off the cider press. The rest was served as hard cider. The book Wild Fermentation notes that in Massachusetts in 1767, annual hard cider consumption was greater than 35 gallons per person – that's a lot of cider!

The 5 Easiest Vegetables to Store and the Awesome Root Cellar Makeover
Our recent blast of cold, wet weather has been replaced by wonderful warm, sunny days this week, which is a real blessing. The heat loving crops did not like the "Summer That Never Was". Production was down because of this, but we still had a respectable harvest overall. The boys and I have been putting in plenty of time in the garden, working on clean up, harvesting and storing the crops. We're holding off just a little bit longer on the root veggies such as potatoes and carrots, but the garlic is cured and next year's crop will be going in the ground soon, and over half of the onions are curing in the greenhouse. Most of the shell beans have been brought in, and I'm gathering seed heads from an assortment of cultivated and wild plants. In this post I'll discuss the easiest vegetables to store and how to store them. These crops have all moved onto my "must plant" list because they require little or no processing and last reliably in storage for months. I also have a quick video of our awesome new root cellar makeover. August and the boys did a great job adding a ton of storage to the root cellar under our front porch. [Read more…]
Gram Irene's Pickled Beets
When I was growing up, I remember many afternoons of sitting on the porch steps with a canning kettle full of steaming beets, peeling off their slippery skins to get them ready for pickling. Although they been cooked, drained and covered in cold water, they could still hold a lot of heat, so tender fingers needed to toughen up in a hurry. (My boys still squawk about how hot I keep the dishwater. I think they need to peel more beets.) Soon the canning shelves would be filled with jewel-like red jars. There was always a jar of pickled beets in the fridge on hand for meals, and for the holidays they'd be served up in a fancy crystal dish. Mom always canned up a big mess of beets each year, but I rarely made pickled beets since no one in the house would eat them except me. Fast forward, and my eldest son has decided that he now enjoys pickled beets. Given that he's built like a linebacker, he can go through quite a few of them, so I figured it was time to dig out the pickling spice. Here's momma's recipe. It's similar to the Ball Blue Book "Beet Pickles", but just a little simpler on the spices. [Read more…]

'Avowed anti-Semite' sued
Shindleman brothers want ex-candidate's attacks halted
A prominent Winnipeg businessman and his brother are doing what Manitoba's Justice Department hasn't -- going to court to stop a man from spreading posters some viewed as anti-Semitic.
Shindico president Sandy Shindleman and his brother Robert filed a claim for defamation against Gordon Warren on Monday in Court of Queen's Bench in Winnipeg.
Warren, a former city council candidate, has recently publicly admitted he was behind a number of pamphlets posted last September downtown. He has posted similar material on the Internet.
"When things get out of hand with the bloggers and get hurtful to peoples' lives and companies, people have to stand up to these kinds of bullies," Sandy Shindleman said Tuesday. "If it has to be us, then it will be us.
"Nobody else has taken this course of action, and we have to stop this kind of bullying."
The Shindlemans' claim seeks a March 26 court hearing for an interim injunction pending the outcome of the case, stopping Warren from publishing or communicating in any format, including the Internet, any information about the Shindlemans and Shindico Realty, one of the city's largest real estate and development companies.
The Shindlemans' lawyer, Robert Tapper, said the Shindlemans fear Warren will use the defamation claim against him to further attack them and their company.
"My goal is to get an injunction to prevent him from doing that," he said.
Tapper said the focus of the Shindlemans' claim is a series of recent incidents in which Warren allegedly defamed the Shindlemans and their company.
None of the allegations against Warren has been proven in court. Warren was unavailable for comment.
The first alleged incident was last September, when a number of pamphlets were posted downtown.
The posters alleged criminal wrongdoing by Mayor Sam Katz and several local business people, including Sandy Shindleman. All but one of those named are Jewish.
Police investigated the September posters, but the Crown attorney's office decided they did not meet the criteria for a hate crime under Canada's Criminal Code.
At the time, the decision not to lay charges was criticized as an example of the failure of the law.
The Shindlemans' claim alleges Warren's actions have escalated to the point where he has now singled them out and in the process has revealed himself as an "avowed anti-Semite and racist."
"The plaintiffs say that the untrue and defamatory statements of the defendant were made deliberately, with malicious intent, and were motivated by racism and anti-Semitism," the claim says.
"The plaintiffs state further that the allegations of the defendant, being as racist as they are, have no place in a free and democratic society and are not properly the exercise of freedom of expression, given their racist quality, and constitute hate speech."
The claim says Warren sent an email Feb. 8 to CORFAC International, a collection of privately held real estate firms in 65 countries. It is based in Falls Church, Va.
Shindico Inc. became affiliated with CORFAC early in the new year. In the email, which is included in the claim, Warren refers to three city-owned properties traded to Shindico in return for property on Taylor Avenue, where the city has built a new fire station. The transaction is now the subject of a civic audit.
The claim says a Feb. 20 "press release" issued by Warren also refers to the fire hall transactions and Shindico.
Tapper said the most egregious incident is a Feb. 23 post on a blog Warren created, entitled The Katz Doctrine, a 10-point document that appears culled from Internet sources and is linked to the Real Jew News website.
"I don't think we've seen anything this vicious since 1939," Tapper said.
He said authorities are aware of Warren's most recent blog post.
Winnipeg police said Tuesday they've received a complaint about the blog post and an investigation is ongoing.
Tapper said the Shindlemans' claim should not be viewed as the brothers using the courts on behalf of the city's Jewish community to deal with possibly anti-Semitic comments.
He said the crux of the case is the brothers are simply protecting themselves and their company from a racist and increasingly personal attack.
In his affidavit, Sandy Shindleman says if Warren is not stopped, he will continue to post material about him, his brother and Shindico Realty.
"I therefore seek an injunction preventing the defendant from commenting about me or my co-plaintiff or my company in any way, shape or form whatsoever," Shindleman said in the court document.
The brothers are seeking an unspecified award for aggravated, punitive and/or exemplary damages.
"The defendant should be enjoined from making any such further allegations in any manner whatsoever, as the statements and allegations are manifestly false, malicious and grossly defamatory," the claim says.

Dear Luke,
I am thoroughly enjoying your trip!! The travel blogs are a wonderful diary, and we all feel as though we are with you. I am glad you helped teach 'B'. Aren't you tempted to do more of that? Are you learning any words yourself?
Some of the foods you mentioned sound pretty disgusting. But then, we eat some pretty gross things here! Sorry you had a sromach upset. I am surprised that was the first time.
Your pictures are wonderful! What a fantastuc experience!!

That same day, I stumbled upon a little cafe
We started building the house on the following Monday with only 3 of us working on it (Me, Thy, and Jao, another guy in the village).
After working for a few hours, we decided to take a lunch break. I only had bread with me, so I didn't know if they had any food there. The next thing I knew, a woman pulled up on her bike with a huge pot of purple rice on the back, which was actually sticky rice soaked in wine. I didn't really like it, but Jao wolfed down a bowls and was feeling pretty good. I then realized that this was just an appetizer and the village had prepared a huge feast for us with chicken, duck, fresh fresh and the best pepper sauce I've ever had. After this excellent meal, we worked on the house for a few more hours. There was not much left to be done by the end of the day and we were all pretty tired.
Then, Thy who left after lunch came and picked me up and insisted that I come check out his school. Little did I know that "checking out" his school actually meant teaching English for 2 hours. So we drove to his school in an absolute downpour and thunderstorm and when we get there, he said "Ok, Luke you go to Classroom C107 and teach!" Having no clue what to do, I went into the classroom and faced the kids about 8-9 years old. So I wrote my name on the board and where I'm from. They were learning the letter B that day, so I taught them a few sentences with the words blue, bicycle, and banana in them. At first, they were shy and quiet, but at the end I got them to shout out the words and sentences over and over again at the top of their lungs. I think I actually made a difference, and I did the same thing with the next class, but taught them the family tree. Thy really wanted me to come back the next day, but I would rather have stayed for a long period of time than just a couple days. I crashed pretty early that night after an exhausting day. Whew!
I went to Kep the weekend before, which will be my next blog.

Oregon house cat attacks baby, traps family in bedroom
(Reuters) - A rampaging, 22-pound Oregon house cat with a "history of violence" attacked a baby and trapped a family and their dog in a bedroom at their Portland home before being captured by police, authorities said on Monday.
The Sunday evening incident began when the cat, a black-and-white Himalayan, scratched a 7-month-old baby in the face, according toPortland Police Bureau spokesman Sergeant Pete Simpson.

unicode possibilities

I hate rabbits
I know that this sounds stupid and petty, but I had a tiny pot of godetia that I've been growing by seed all summer.
It really took off after a dose of alfalfa tea. Excited that I was going to see it bloom.
Damn rabbits.
I have five pink coreopsis that have been eaten down all year, as soon as they get any kind of growth on them. I'm hoping by next spring, the bunnies will forget where they are. Sadly, it's in my front yard right next to the main walkway. It looks so depressing. The big rabbit that wintered under our deck (solved that by taking the old deck out) did do a nice job of pruning my rosebushes for me last year.
What???? Joan, please tell me that the roses "your" rabbits ate was of the thornless variety! We went to a great deal of trouble and expense this year to keep rabbits out of our fenced-in yard, where they ate every thing in sight. That seems to have worked, but I planted 37 rosebushes in my front yard this spring, thinking that with all those nasty thorns they were safe from rabbits and other wildlife. No???? So far they have not been a problem, but should I worry? The solution we used for our fenced yard is not possible in the front..... Help!
Rabbits can eat roses, and so can deer.
So far, they haven't bothered mine. (I planted 12) I wouldn't assume that because you have rabbits, they're going to go for the roses. However, if you have 'pruning', it isn't your neighbors.
Something ate half of my tulips this past spring, until I sprayed some 'deer away' on them. And none of my plantings have been bothered since.
Not until the darn godetia. Gad, I'm still really peeved about this. SO slow growing with the nasty heat we've had. I was so jazzed to see it finally take off, and now it's eaten down to the dirt. *grrrr*
Regarding the Deer Away - the commercials say that it works for deer and rabbits - does it? I hate the **!!*$@# rabbits,too and I'm willing to try another plan. I've chicken wired where I can but I've got one area that I can't do that in - consequently it's open to whatever critter wants to visit. Anyone with thoughts on the Deer Away specifically as it applies to rabbits?
I've mixed feelings about wildlife..Since our 17 yr old indoor/outdoor cat passed away, we're seeing more and more wildlife..There's a baby and I mean a little, 4" eating my strawberry's..Since we don't eat the fruit, Not w/the dog wee-weeing everywhere, I don't mind..
It's those damn squirrels I have a problem with. I've been trying to grow grapes 3 yrs now, and have quite a few bunches growing on an arbor..I walked outside and there haning on my arbor like a bat was a squirrels muching away on the fruit..we feed the wildlife, peanuts, 4 feeders and bird bath, and still they bother my fruits.
The squirrels have eaten houseplants, including an Avacado I started from seed..the plant was about 2' tall, and doing great. Mind you, avacados are toxic, and still those little beast unpotted the plant, and ate everything..I hope he got sick..lol..sorry, I love wildlife, but enough is enough..Toni
Thanks to the rabbits, I will have no asters blooming this fall. I suppose I should be grateful that it's just the asters, after the *#&$(@Q*#! things nearly killed a fothergilla and a NJ tea shrub this winter.
I've tried NIMBY and Deer Off, but the only thing that works well is a physical barrier of chicken wire.
Jenny in St. Louis
My roses are nothing exotic so it really did them no harm. If you have hybrids, I suppose they could eat down so far that you'd just have the regular rose come up the next spring. He (or she) only ate them after the biggest snow melt (they were under the snow before that). I really did suspect that my neighbors had snuck over to prune because they were cut so cleanly! I understand the winter snacking and he/she didn't eat them all the way to the ground--left about 8-10 inches I guess. It is very cute to watch the chipmunks eat the rose hips off the bush in the fall.
I just object to the wildlife eating plants when they are coming up and the rest of us haven't had a chance to enjoy them yet. As far as I know, the only way to prevent it is as Jenny says, chicken wire around it. Often they just like to eat new shoots so after the plant gets bigger, you can try taking the chicken wire away. It just doesn't look very nice if it's in your front yard. : (
I buy it online at liquidfence.com...but I have also seen it at Ace Hardware in Naperville. I use the concentrate because I have a large area to cover and it's easier to buy online.
I really hope you will try it...it certainly has done the job for me. I use it as directed...but if I should see a stray bunny, I zap the area again and he's gone!
My indoor/outdoor cats keep away those nasty critters. I have the showest spring bulb garden around thanks to my guard cats. The cats don't dig, pee, or trample the garden. They like to roll around in the bare spots so that's why they don't pee or poop in it. Once things start popping up from the ground they move between them. My garden is about 50' x 20'.
I have heard an interesting hypothesis. The reason the little bunnies and squirrels are so out of control the last couple of years at least around here is the absence of crows due to West Nile. I thought I would never say this, I actually miss the cackling!
I will remember the Liquid Fence.
Hey, I've managed to live in harmony with my deer, and rabbits for almost 70 years--BUT--now, the blasted armadillos have moved into our area-and some have even seen wild hogs!!can you imagine my heavily mulched garden?some say its due to the area getting warmer winters, but- i'd gladly keep the critters i had.
For those of you that have deer problems, look into a product call the "Scarecrow". It hooks up to your hose and has a motion sensor on it! I don't want to provide any more details as I don't want to be accused of "selling products". But I have one, took some adjusting, but work great!
Or, for those who have time on their hands, purchase a remote controlled plastic car or truck. When the deer come around, you stand by the window, and chase them around your yard! (Sorry it's a boys thing!!) Good for chasing pesky squires or dogs!!!
My MIL died in '07 and my FIL in '08, so last fall when the house was sold I lifted some of the tulip bulbs from their yard (which was about the extent of their gardening) and planted them at our house for a memorial garden. One of the tulips threw up a stalk and was getting ready to bloom, and I was so looking forward to seeing which one it would turn out to be (there were several different deep reds, each one just luscious)... one morning last week came out and it had been decapitated. D-:=
Later that evening there was a fat brown bunny in the back yard munching on dandelions with an innocent look on his face... nice try, bunny. Liquid Fence, here I come. :\
Rabbits don't like herbs, I'm told. Can't say I've ever seen any in my herb garden. A Lavender farmer told me that lavender keeps rabbits away if you plant it along your fence, but how many are necessary to be effective, I don't know. We have dogs, as do our neighbors, plus a neighborhood cat or two. That seems to be helping keep the neverending rabbit population down in our back yard. We never have any roses, vegetables, berries or anything else touched by the little darlings.

fire ants?
I also posted this in the "pests and diseases" forum but I think this is the right forum for it:
I was just outside gardening and I noticed a trail of ants that fit the description of fire ants. The only difference being that these were not aggressive. I teased some with a stick and they turned and ran away. Will fire ants do this or will they actually attack the stick? Hopefully someone here knows the answer to this.
Fire ants are only particularly aggressive when you disturb their nest/mound. There are several species of little red ants in FL, so I wouldn't simply conclude that they are fire ants. However, fire ants are very comfortable living around human homes, so they very well might be!

Machine won't power on.
I have an HP DV6000, and the thing wont power on. I have had it for over a year, and my warranty is up. I press the power button, and the Power and HDD Indicators and touch controls turn on for about a second, and then turn back off. I have tried this with and without the power adapter. When i plug in the power adapter, the machineindicate
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

markus weiher
since there were many problems with that particular series - i would first check this page (click)
maybe your model is covered by the extended warranty ba hp.
to make it short - many hp models died from defective capacitors.
i had the same problem with my hp g6060eg - but since we have a 2 year warranty - the motherboard was replaced by hp.
I had a DV fail and never honored my warranty!!! THE G60 WAS FREE
Good answer +

When my Hp dv6700 didn't turn on I put in a Ubuntu boot disk and it worked. So I switched operating systems (from Windows) and now my laptop works again. Granted I lost all my data on the hard drive, but at least I had a computer that works.
COMMENT: Ubuntu will let you look at the other file system (Windows) if you made it a dual boot when you installed Ubuntu. Just because it may not boot into Windows, Ubuntu will still let you see your data in any other partition(s) that remain on the HDD.
Your problem could be a bad motherboard or CPU.
Are you asking about HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook?
1. Could be memory failure. Try removing memory one by one.
2. If it's not bad memory, most likely this is known GPU failure.
You can try fixing (temporarily) the GPU problem using this trick:
This was what fixed mine. I had the black screen and just a momentary HDD light. One of my RAM sticks is bad. With that stick out, the DV6700 boots fine and reports 2G of RAM if you look for the number (in "My Computer," I think). I will get a new 2G stick for it -- maybe 4G, if it will take a 4G. Yes, it runs noticeably slower on 2G.
Old question and not sure if it is even still an issue for the original poster. I just researched the dv6000 and was amazed in how many people have issues with it. The problem is is the motherboard, and the symptoms include loss of bootup, VERY slow bootup, WiFi stops working, etc. is simply that the MOBO board overheats and fries the video driver chip. The cooling design of this PC is inadequate. Short of replacing the motherboard I do not believe that there is much that you can do. I posted instructions how to reflow the board here http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/33368... Even if you get a new MOBO you might have the problems agai for as long as it has the NVidia chip. It is my understanding that there are now revised board out that have the ATI chip and do not have those issues. Good Luck
I had the same problem.. when i try to power it up, just lights come for 1 sec and then turn off again. Strange but i removed the wi-fi card and turned on the laptop and now it works just fine. Then put back the wi-fi card and still working fine.

Alert kids, mom save a neighbor
For their actions, the Cingolanis receive the Mooresville Community Life Safety Award.
Jacqueline Cingolani, 4, was riding bikes with her brother, Connor, 6, when she spotted smoke at a neighbor's home and alerted her mom.
Molly Cingolani was "knee-deep in mulch" that day, May 17, and didn't give the smoke a second thought. After all, her neighbor had a smoker, she said.
Then Connor spotted flames on the man's porch.
Molly Cingolani had Connor dial 911 as she went to the neighbor's home in the Lochmere community off Oak Tree Road and woke the man up. She got a garden hose and aimed it at the flames before firefighters arrived and extinguished the blaze.
Fire officials honored the Cingolanis at last week's town board meeting by presenting them with a Mooresville Community Life Safety Award. It's only the third one given in the past five years, Battalion Chief Jamie Barrier said.
Barrier said the Cingolanis saved a life. Because of the family's quick action, no one was injured, and the fire caused minimal damage, he said. Fire officials weren't able to determine the cause.
"It's every firefighter's career goal to save a life," Barrier said.
"These three people had that opportunity, by being alert to their community. Their acting without hesitation made a difference in life and property."

Acura hasn't done a whole lot with its aging TL line in recent years, the sedan only getting a very mild refresh for the 2012 model year. And while we don't see that changing anytime soon (as we reported earlier, the car is likely going to be replaced with a new TLX sedan that will serve as the replacement for both it and the smaller TSX), Acura is offering this new 2013 Special Edition TL, priced from $37,405 *plus $895 in destination fees.

Vilifying Parents Who Don't Vaccinate Their Kids Is Counterproductive

Magnolia State offers one of nation's last unspoiled natural settings
There's something about getting "out there" to experience the natural beauty of the world. The outdoors is a special place to reconnect with your surroundings, to learn something new about nature or to seek a new thrill. In September and all year long, the True South comes to life with outdoor adventures for everyone.
"This month, visitors can continue to enjoy summer activities while also exploring what's coming in the fall, with hunting, fishing, nature trails, water sports, camping and lots of other outdoor opportunities," said Mary Beth Wilkerson, director of the Mississippi Development Authority's Tourism Division. "Mississippi retains some of the most beautiful, unspoiled, natural settings in America. And our outdoor spaces offer a variety of activities while being easily accessible and affordable."
Mississippi has five distinct regions to help visitors better understand and plan your trip. All five regions offer a variety of RVing and camping locations, as well as other overnight accommodations.

Fatherly advice and life lessons as we prepare to celebrate dads
There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that, every time he lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first week, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. It gradually dwindled down as he discovered it was easier to hold his temper than drive those nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. His father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper until all the nails were gone.
Then the father led him to the fence and said: "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."
With Father's Day coming up on Sunday, June 16, I'd like to share some of the fatherly advice I received while growing up, and especially getting my start in business.
Jack Mackay taught me about time management. I still remember him telling me if I wanted to go fishing the next day, be on the dock at 2 p.m. sharp. There I was, at 2:05 p.m., waving bon voyage to my dad, who was driving away in the boat without his fishing buddy. Tough love, lesson learned.
My dad insisted that 25 percent of my time should be spent volunteering, advice I've continued to follow. In addition to the benefit to the organization, you have an opportunity to hone selling skills, learn how to run meetings, prepare reports, serve on committees, supervise others, handle rejection and other skills that can help you in your career, all while serving your community.

What are some ways that having a child can bring you closer as a couple?
Cupid's Advice:
Speaking to new parents about their marriage may surprise you. Most of them will say that having a child actually┬Āstrengthened their marriage. Here are a few ways that having a child can bring you closer as a couple:
1. Shared love: You and your significant other will love your child and work together in order to create the best life possible for your little one. Because of this, your love for one another will grow and become stronger because you are both sharing love for your baby.
2. Working together: By working together as a couple to make a good life for your bundle of joy, you and your partner will get along and have a strong bond┬Āwith each other┬Āwhile trying to take care of your child. You depend on one another for help and your teamwork will automatically build a better relationship between you two.
3. Family: Now you and your partner are more than just a couple, you are a family. Graduating from couplehood to family will bring you closer to one another. In the past you and your beau were held together by love and maybe wedding vows, now you are held together by your child and the fact of being transformed into a family.
What are some ways that having a child brought you closer as a couple? Comment below and let us know!
