Ribbon grass - what have I gotten myself into?
We moved into our house last year and I planted about three things, one being ribbon grass. (We have never gardened before, and I was so proud that it actually came back this year!) This year my husband asked me to plant more of them. I have since discovered that I may have made a huge mistake with the ribbon grass, due it's invasive nature. It has about two feet of space on each side. Should I pull it out or just let it go? Is it too late?
There are several different varieties of Ribbon Grass. Some are very invasive, and others aren't. In any case, in your zone, you should be able to control it pretty easily.
Don't over-water it. Use physical barriers to control it's spread. Root prune it to maintain the size you want. Shovel prune it to keep it out of places you don't want it to go.
Finally, there are lots and lots of grasses which are just as easy to grow, just as attractive and not at all invasive. Don't limit yourself to one type of grass. There are so many other forms, textures and colors to play with in the grass world.
I planted one ribbon grass last spring. I was kinda worried about having to control it too, but, find it hasn't "gone wild"-----yet. Mine is planted in full sun, and, a spot that doesn't stay "wet" too long. I am still working on that area and plan to have a rather thick mulch on it in a couple of weeks. That will help control it, too.

I Recorded 3 Children's Stories
Golden Records is the label associated with Golden Books, the classic kids books many grew up with. I recently recorded voice over for three stories on their latest audio compilation Golden Records: The Magic Continues. Ed Asner, Didi Conn, Cheryl Hines, Busy Philips, and Susan Sarandon also narrated stories for this compilation.
The stories I did were Rapunzel, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and The Story of Goldilocks. I was able to tweak the stories slightly to be more female-friendly and animal-friendly. We changed some of the language to be less scary, so kids wouldn't think animals are frightening. It was fun to do!

Thank God for Sex is an online community of solidarity for people who've experienced religious sexual shame. Hear stories of healing. Claim God's gift!
The Thank God For Sex Project is a COMMUNITY BUILT website filled with videos and written stories of individuals who've experienced religious sexual shame and who later learned that God never intended for them to feel that way. In their own words they tell stories of how, over time, they discovered a new way to relate to their bodies, sexuality and God. These stories shed light on an array of circumstances; hurtful messages from society, pain from purity-movement churches, shame about bodies, fears of intimacy, abuse, confusion, etc. Most importantly, they show how people figured out a more affirming story about sex and what that story or new belief system is or is becoming.
How the Thank God for Sex Project got started

Android Lollipop roll out for HTC devices leaked
A few days ago, we told you about the video leak from a Vietnam website about how Android Lollipop would look like in the HTC One (M8). A day later, the OEM received the go signal from Google to start rolling out the major update to the devices, including the unlocked ones, after the Google Play Edition received theirs last month. But now the question for owners of other HTC devices is when their smartphones and tablets will be Lollipop-ized.

Unisys to foot the bill following theft of insurance data
Congress to quiz top VA officials
The Department of Veterans Affairs is notifying veterans whose data was on a laptop computer stolen from Unisys' Reston, Va., office on Aug. 3 that they are entitled to one year of free credit monitoring, for which Unisys will pay.
Unisys spokeswoman Lisa Meyer said the company signed a contract Friday with a major credit-monitoring company to provide the free service. She declined to name the company.
The stolen laptop contained insurance claims data on about 20,000 veterans who were treated at the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia VA medical centers or their community clinics in the past four years. Unisys has a VA contract to track the claims.
"Those people affected will get one year of free monitoring service starting when they sign up," she said, "which doesn't have to be immediately."
Meyer said the VA was completing a second letter that will tell veterans how to sign up for the service. The VA initially sent letters to the veterans and their families to notify them that their information was on the stolen computer.
The laptop loss angered lawmakers on Capitol Hill and refocused attention on the failure of some agencies to secure their data properly.
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, said, "I expect VA to hold the contractor financially responsible for any costs that veterans may incur as the result of this loss."
The theft marks the third time in four months that someone has stolen a computer containing federal data. It came after the Transportation Department's Office of Inspector General announced that an OIG laptop computer stolen from a government vehicle July 27 in Doral, Fla., contained the names, Social Security numbers, birthdates and addresses of about 133,000 Florida residents.
The data was part of a five-year, 23-state investigation into people lying or bribing officials to obtain commercial driver's licenses, said David Barnes, a DOT spokesman.
Kathy Dillaman, associate director of investigations for the Office of Personnel Management's Federal Investigative Services, said agencies could tighten data security through better training and accountability practices. "You have to also look at what information do you allow to be downloaded and taken outside of good controls?" she added.
Meanwhile, ID Analytics, a California data-analysis company, will provide breach-monitoring services on the data in the laptop stolen from a VA employee's home in May and recovered in late June.
Mike Cook, vice president of ID Analytics, said the company and the VA created "a gift agreement contract" to provide its services free. This is its first venture into the federal sector, he added.

2/8/2011 yboy82Here's how to remove your timing belt and the sprockets
You have to remove the drive belts and the A/C compressor drive belt tensioner. Remove the crankshaft pulley. And then remove the mounting bolts and left timing belt cover. Remove the mounting bolts and right timing belt cover.
Remove the mounting bolts and front timing belt cover.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission you should remove the timing belt guide. Ensure that the timing belt rotation arrows are still visible. If the marks are worn off, place new rotation marks on the belt.
You should turn the crankshaft using a breaker bar and special adapter socket on the crankshaft. Align the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket, left intake sprocket, left exhaust sprocket, right intake sprocket and right exhaust sprocket with the notches in cylinder block and timing belt cover. Paint alignment marks on the timing belt at the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets timing marks.
Do not turn the camshaft sprockets with the timing belt removed. To avoid the valves heads to contact each other causing the valve stems to bend.
Remove the lower right idler pulley. And then remove the timing belt. Remove the upper right idler pulley. Remove the lower left (toothed) idler pulley. Remove the belt tensioner.
You should hold the sprocket and remove the left intake and exhaust camshafts. And then hold the sprocket and remove the right intake and exhaust camshafts. Remove the crankshaft sprocket.

ctwoodring - 2001 Subaru Outback - Engine - 2/7/2011This car has 175,000 miles. We notice a gasoline smell when we turn on the heater. The mechanic replaced the gaskets which did not help. The car overheated and stalled at an intersection and we could not restart without it stalling again. After the coolant was ...
Overheating can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport and dissipate heat: A low coolant level, a coolant leak (through internal or external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside the engine because of accumulated deposits in the water jackets, a defective thermostat that doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator, a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an eroded or loose water pump impeller, or even a defective radiator cap.
One of nature's basic laws says that heat always flows from an area of higher temperature to an area of lesser temperature, never the other way around. The only way to cool hot metal, therefore, is to keep it in constant contact with a cooler liquid. And the only way to do that is to keep the coolant in constant circulation. As soon as the circulation stops, either because of a problem with the water pump, thermostat or loss of coolant, temperatures begin to rise and the engine starts to overheat.
The coolant also has to get rid of the heat it soaks up while passing through the block and head(s). So the radiator must be capable of doing its job, which requires the help of an efficient cooling fan at slow speeds.
The thermostat must be doing its job to keep the engine's average temperature within the normal range so the engine does not overheat. If the thermostat fails to open, it will effectively block the flow of coolant and the engine will overheat.
Your engine may not be overheating at all. Your temperature gauge or warning lamp may be coming on because of a faulty coolant sensor. Sometimes this can be caused by a low coolant level or air trapped under the senso
Cooling system leaks -- Loss of coolant because of a coolant leak is probably the most common cause of engine overheating. Possible leak points include hoses, the radiator, heater core, water pump, thermostat housing, head gasket, freeze plugs, automatic transmission oil cooler, cylinder head(s) and block.
Make a careful visual inspection of the entire cooling system, and then PRESSURE TEST the cooling system and radiator cap. A pressure test will reveal internal leaks such as seepage past the head gasket as well as cracks in the head or block. A good system should hold 12 to 15 psi for 15 minutes or more with no loss in pressure. If it leaks pressure, there is an internal coolant leak (most likely a bad head gasket but possibly also a cracked cylinder or engine block).
It is important to pressure test the radiator cap, too, because a weak cap (or one with too low a pressure rating for the application) will lower the coolant's boiling point and can allow coolant to escape from the radiator
Leaky Head Gasket -- Bad news because repairs are expensive. A leaky head gasket can allow coolant to seep into the engine's cylinders or crankcase. Symptoms include a loss of coolant with no visible external leaks, and white steam in the exhaust, especially after restarting the engine when it has sit for awhile. A leaky head gasket can be diagnosed by pressure testing the cooling system, or by using a "block checker" that pulls air from the cooling system into a cylinder that contains a special blue colored leak detection liquid. If there are any combustion gases in the coolant, the color of the liquid inside the detector will change from blue to green. A leaky head gasket can often be temporarily sealed by adding a sealer product to the cooling system. But for bad leaks or ones that cannot be stopped with sealer, the head gasket has to be replaced.
Fan Not Working -- With mechanical fans, most engine overheating problems are caused by a faulty fan clutch, though a missing fan shroud can reduce the fan's cooling effectiveness by as much as 50% (depending on the fan's distance from the radiator) which may be enough to cause the engine to overheat in hot weather or when working hard.
Defective fan clutches are a common and often overlooked cause of engine overheating. The shear characteristics of the clutch fluid gradually deteriorates over time, with an average loss in drive efficiency of about 200 rpm per year. Eventually slippage reaches the point where effective cooling is no longer possible and overheating results. (On average, the life of a fan clutch is about the same as a water pump. If one needs to be replaced, the other usually does too.)
If the fan clutch shows signs of fluid leakage (oily streaks radiating outward from the hub of the clutch), spins freely with little or no resistance when the engine is off, or wobbles when the fan is pushed in or out, it needs to be replaced.
With an electric cooling fan, check to see that the fan cycles on when the engine gets hot and when the air conditioner is on. If the fan fails to come on, check the fan motor wiring connections, fan relay and temperature sensor. Try jumping the fan directly to the battery. If it runs, the problem is in the wiring, relay or sensor. If it fails to run, the fan motor is bad and needs to be replaced.
Lower Radiator Hose Collapsing -- A pinched hose (upper or lower) or a lower radiator hose that is collapsing and blocking the flow of coolant when the engine is running can cause engine overheating. The lower hose usually has a metal reinforcing wire inside that looks like a large spring. It s purpose is to prevent the hose from collapsing when the water pump is pulling water through the hose. If this wire is missing or has failed due to corrosion, the hose may collapse.
Excessive exhaust back pressure -- A clogged catalytic converter will restrict the flow of exhaust and cause heat to back up in the engine. Other causes include a crushed exhaust pipe or a collapsed double wall pipe. Check intake vacuum at idle. If intake vacuum reads low and continues to drop, inspect the exhaust system.

He said one's leaking but he wants to replace both since they're both the same age & the other might crack. He also suggests replacing the timing belt/water pump "since they're already going to be in the area." I said that the belt/pump were replaced about 50,000 miles ago & still have about that many mile left, adding that he could replace any number of things "while in the area". Estimate (incl. tuneup) $2100+. Is this legit?

What are the signs of over fertilizing on chili?
1. What are the signs of over fertilizing on chili plants?
2. How do I know the plants are over fertilizing?
3. Are there any side effects of over fertilizing?
4. What I have to do when the plants are over fertilized?
5. How often should I fertilize the soil mixed like Al's 511?
If we have this subject before then simply ignore me and help me to get the link.
The most obvious one is that the leaves shrivel up and fall off. Before that you will see the leaves start to crisp and die around the edges.
Generally speaking, you should not fertilize your peppers on any kind of a regular schedule. If you are buying premixed potting soil, it has all the nutrients in it already, there is no need to add more. If you are using your own mix that you feel may be deficient, then at most once a month with a dilute mixture.
The biggest side effect of over fertilizing is obviously that it will set your plant back a couple of weeks while it recovers from the shock of having to grow an entire new set of leaves.
Hello Edymnion, thank you for the information.
I think two of my ghost plants have problems of over fertilization and excessive light intensity. The leaves looked lack of moisture/shriveled and curved. I did over fertilize, I am a bit careless to use highly concentrate fertilizer. I used double dose when I mixed with water, my stupidity. I do fertilize once a week. The soil I use is mixed but it has nutrients already as you mentioned. I never think about the side effects of over fertilization. I feel these two plants are not looked normal they looks stress. Now I stop using the lights and fertilization. To prevent fungus gnats I spray peppermint tea, I hope it should not be a problem.

Hello Willard, thank you for your opinion, I agreed with you.
As a new container gardener I have started to experience such type of problems and I am expecting more.
I had a bit problems of APHIDS, FUNGUS GNATS, OVERWATER, SOIL MIXED AND now OVER FERTILIZING.
I have to wait for about 2 weeks to recover it as Edymnion mentioned. Is there anything else I can do to recover it faster from the shock?
Hey, Caelian!
I fertilize once a week, full-strength.
If you use a lean mix like the 5-1-1 - which I do - you will want to fertilize regularly,
even when incorporating a slow-release fertilizer directly into the mix at the time of planting.
You could try flushing your mix - pouring 7 times the container volume of water through the
container. This takes awhile, especially with a compacted, heavy mix. Adding a measure of vinegar
to your water can also help flush excess nutrients.
I would add only enough vinegar to bring the pH into the 5.2 - 5.8 range.
The best advice is to simply follow the directions on the fertilizer package.
Hi Josh,
Thank you for the advice.
The soil is not exactly 5:1:1 but it has good aeration. Actually I would like to flush the soil but the problem is the containers are self watering without drainage holes.
Now the conditions of the plants are not deteriorating so I would like to wait for a few more days for any improvement. I will use vinegar to reduce the PH level.
I really appreciate your effort to help me.
Is there anything else I can do to recover it faster from the shock?
Leave it alone.
I know, I know, for a new gardener that is the single hardest lesson you're going to have to learn, but its the truth. Nature knows what its doing better than we do. Our job as growers is essentially to provide what the plant needs, and then get out of it's way.
Constant watering, feeding, and babying a plant is the best way to kill it.
Water only when it goes dry (get a dowel rod from the hardware store to put in the soil. Pull it out before you water and look at it. If the wood is dark colored and damp, then no matter how dry the surface soil is, don't water. When it comes up light colored and dry to the touch, then you can water.), and I would say at most water every third or fourth time (which should work out to once a month or less if you're letting it dry out correctly) with half strength fertilizer (half strength for the normal container dose). If you mix something like osmocote into the soil, then don't add more through watering at all.
The less you mess with your peppers, the better they will do.
Thank you Edymnion for the advice.
These mistakes are going to be a good lesson for me. After I did a brief internet research about fertilization and I found that another mistake I did was I sprayed the fertilizer on the leaves too. Now I do not do anything else for these two plants except the soil keep a bit warm.
Happy New Year
Edymnion, your advice wouldn't work in a situation like mine, or for folks using 5-1-1.
Once a month fertilization, at half-strength? I consider that light even for an overwintering plant....
Twice a month at half-strength would be better; and better yet, a properly constructed soil that can be
watered once a week, and fertilized at, say, 1/4 strength with each watering (for overwintering).
If the weather is still conducive to pepper growth, as I assume it is in parts of India,
then peppers ought to be fed regularly - particularly in a mix like the 5-1-1.
Caelian, can you empty the reservoir in your containers? Maybe siphon the water out?
Either way, the reservoir should overflow if you apply enough water to the top, yes?
Well in all fairness, 5-1-1 is basically a soiless mix in my opinion. There is nothing in it that even resembles nutritious biomass, its just some basic water retention materials. Of course you would need to fertilize that mix more often, it has nothing of it's own to offer.
I tend to assume that people use actual dirt for their plants, and that if they are experienced enough to be using something else, that they are experienced enough to know how to use it. =P

The over fertilized plants are here in Denmark.
Josh my containers are so called self-watering, I cannot empty the reservoirs. It has some kind of indicator for the water level. In case of overwater, the indicator goes up and water overflowed from the reservoir to the soil. There is no way to drain the water normally. These containers are not so good.
Thank you for both of your advice and opinions.
Happy New Year
While the 5-1-1 mix does indeed need to be fertilized at leas once a week and better still at every watering (and Josh is an expert here), you'll need to take extra steps if using a self-watering container. What you want to achieve is a constant low nutrient concentration. One of the benefits of the 5:1:1 mix is that it's easy to flush the container, so if you always water with a dilute nutrient solution, then your soil mix will have adequate nutrients.
You SWC may be concentrating the fertilizer, hence the problems you're having. You should water from the top to flush out the container, to get rid of some of the excess salts that have been building up. This is what Josh was getting at. Best to completely displace the water in the reservoir and start with a clean slate, so that you know what your levels are. Then going forward, try not to let the fertilizer accumulate and levels rise with every fertilization. If you must use a SWC, you might want to invest in an electronic TDS/EC meter, so you can track what your levels are. It's best, of course, to fully flush out the old nutrient solution and apply new, dilute solution at each fertigation, so that you apply nutrients at the correct level and ratio each time.
Best of luck!
Thank you for the advice Alex.
I did repotting the three plants today. I know it is taking risk of possible losing the plants but I am very eager to know how do the plants response with the new soils.
The two pictures are before over fertilized and using less grow lights and the last picture is the present condition of the plants, I removed the old soil about 97 percent. The soil I use is not exactly 511.
After over fertilized. Repotted in new soil today again.
Thank you all for helping me.

Hey, Caelian, the plants don't look too bad to me.
Sorry for assuming you lived in India....the Threads on the Bhuts threw me off.
So you're in Denmark, growing indoors then?
The soil mix in the last pic doesn't look much like 5-1-1 at all really.
5-1-1 is bark-based (70 percent), and so it is structurally durable, free-draining,
and doesn't hold much nutrient solution.
If you ever have the luxury, try intentionally overfertilizing a pepper plant....
it's one of the best ways to see what the actual effects are.
Hello Josh, it was some of my posts made you think that way; it was not your fault. I am growing indoors for the first time.
The soil is not 5:1:1 I cannot use it in my self-watering containers but I am very interested and I'd like to try in summer with the right containers. I have seen your Youtube 5:1:1 mixing demonstration it was very impressive and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
I hope I had the experiences of over fertilizing and it is more than enough for me :).
The plants do not look too bad but they were very healthy and the growths were also very fast but because of mishandling they hurt so badly. Silly students made a lot of mistakes :).
