Survey: Fibromyalgia Affects Life Decisions, Having Children
Today, the National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA) and American Pain Foundation (APF) announced the results of a new survey from citizens living with fibromyalgia –a widespread neurosensory disorder characterized by widespread pain and tenderness– and other chronic pain conditions. Of those surveyed, 92 percent said fibromyalgia affected major life decisions such as having children. For those considering children, 62 percent were concerned about how they would care for the child, 53 percent were concerned about going through child birth and 49 percent were concerned about a further lack of lack of sleep with a child.
Of the more than 650 respondents who already have children under the age of 18 years, 95 percent reported it affects at least one of their parenting duties.In addition, 7 out of 10 people said chronic pain conditions limit their ability to care for their family.Add a Comment

I've lived with Fibro for three years now and we have found ways to manage. We have a 14 month old and it is impossible to explain why he can't drag on me all day, but it is good to have a great support system, my husband, who understands that some days when he comes home I just need to go lie down and not be touched. Some days I just want to cry. It's so hard to feel my son tug at me to pick him up and wish he wouldn't. I want to enjoy that kind of attention for what it is. I just have to live for the good days and try and make it through the bad.

I checked a couple of masjids and I had been astonished through the accuracy they had for Qibla hundreds of several years in the past, only now using this plan just one can look at how clever these men and women function who had worked out the direction so correctly. God bless you all who ended up associated with this venture.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Oly Trial tickets on sale Monday
Full packages for 'Roar of the Rings' at MTS Centre next year are $429
The event itself is still 13 months away, but organizers of the December, 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings at the MTS Centre will begin putting tickets on sale next week.
Organizers will announce today that full passes -- which include all 18 draws for the event that will decide Canada's men's and women's curling representatives for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi -- will go on sale to the public beginning Monday at 10 a.m.
The full event package is priced at $429 and will include an early bird bonus of two free tickets to one of the first two draws on opening weekend to anyone who buys the package before Dec. 24.
All full event packages will also include invitation to a Fan Appreciation Night immediately prior to the start of the event at which the curlers will be available and complimentary admission all week to the customary social hall that accompanies major curling events, long known at the Brier as The Patch. The Patch will be located at the Convention Centre.
A second phase of ticket sales will kick in on Dec. 6 when individual tickets to the first two draws will go on sale. Those tickets will be priced at $39 a pair and are being marketed by organizers as stocking stuffers under the moniker, 'Rocks in Your Socks.'
A third phase of ticket sales will occur in February when organizers will begin selling 'Flex Packs' to the general public.
Those packages will allow fans to pick the draws they want to see at the times they want to see them and will be priced at $469. More details will be announced later.
A total of 16 teams -- eight men's and eight women's teams -- will compete at the MTS Centre Dec. 1-8, 2013 in an event that was formerly called the Canadian Curling Trials.
No Manitoba-based team has ever represented Canada in curling at the Winter Olympics. Jeff Stoughton lost the 2005 Trials final to Newfoundland's Brad Gushue and Kerry Burtnyk lost the 2001 Trials final to Alberta's Kevin Martin. The Trials were previously held in Manitoba in 1997 when Brandon hosted. Ontario's Mike Harris and Saskatchewan's Sandra Schmirler won that event.
Winnipeg's Chelsea Carey said competing for a chance to go the 2014 Olympics before a hometown crowd would be nothing less than a dream come true. "The Trials in general is your goal as a curler," Carey said Wednesday. "And especially for women's teams because we don't usually get to play in those big hockey arenas.
"But then to have it in your own hometown on top of it -- it would be everyone's dream. And it's probably not something we would get a chance to do again."
Four teams have already secured berths into the 2013 Trials. Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones and Martin both won their berths by capturing the 2011 men's and women's Canada Cup, while 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts winner Heather Nedohin of Edmonton and 2012 Brier winner Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont., also picked up berths with their overall performances last winter.
Two more berths will be available at the 2012 Canada Cup, which runs in Moose Jaw, Nov. 28-Dec. 2. Winnipeg's Stoughton, Mike McEwen, Cathy Overton-Clapham and Carey will all be competing in that event, as will Jones.
Three more men's and three more women's berths will be decided at the end of the 2012-13 curling season based on the points-based Canadian Team Ranking System. And then the final two men's and two women's berths will be determined next November in Kitchener in a last-chance event that will see 12 women's teams and 12 men's teams compete.
CURLING JACKPOT: Some curlers could become millionaires this winter.
Sportsnet, the new owner and operator of the Grand Slam of Curling, announced Wednesday that a $1-million bonus will be awarded if any men's team wins all four events this winter -- the Masters, Canadian Open, National and Player's Championship.
And if a women's team wins the two events on their Grand Slam circuit -- the Masters and the Players Championship -- that team will earn $100,000.
In addition, if a men's team fails to win all four events, the top three men's teams will split a $100,000 bonus. If a women's team fails to win both events, the top three teams will split a $25,000 bonus.
The $200,000 Masters kicked off the Grand Slam schedule Wednesday with 64 men's and women's teams competing in Brantford, Ont., beginning today.
Hurry hard to ticket wicket, curling fans
What: Tickets going on sale for 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings
When: Full event packages go on sale on Monday at a cost of $429; individual tickets to the first two draws go on sale Dec. 6 at a cost of $39 a pair; Flex Packs priced at $469 will go on sale next February.
How can I get them: Online at curling.ca/tickets or by phone at 1-877-985-2875.
Who's competing: Jennifer Jones, Heather Nedohin, Kevin Martin and Glenn Howard already have their berths secured. Twelve more teams -- six men's and six women's -- must still be determined.
What's at stake: The men's and women's winners will go on to represent Canada in curling at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Quotable: "It's our goal. It's every team's goal to play at the Trials. We'll be disappointed if we don't get there. But it's just such a hard event to get to play in." -- skip Chelsea Carey

I-back Terrell Newby has teamed with Imani Cross to provide depth behind All-American Ameer Abdullah the past two seasons. With Abdullah moving on to the professional ranks, the 5-10, 200-pound Newby is one of several I-backs who will battle for playing time at I-back in the 2015 season.
Newby was Nebraska's fourth-leading rusher in 2014, gaining 297 yards on 67 carries, while scoring five rushing touchdowns. Newby has outstanding speed and has shown the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. He has also been a regular kickoff return man for the Huskers and could again factor in that role.
2014 (Sophomore)
Newby played in all 13 games as a reserve I-back and on kickoff returns. In addition to rushing numbers, Newby caught eight passes for 44 yards and had three kickoff returns for 53 yards. Newby opened the year with a caeer-high 107 yards on 16 carries and two rushing touchdowns against Florida Atlantic, joining Abdullah in cracking the century mark.
Newby had seven carries for 18 yards at Fresno State and added a 12-yard reception and 20-yard kickoff return. Against Illinois, Newby had nine carries for 34 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 21 yards. He ran for 23 yards at Northwestern, had 30 yards on 10 carries against Rutgers and picked up 42 yards on nine carries, including a seven-yard TD run against Purdue.
Newby added his fifth touchdown run of the season at Wisconsin. He had four carries for 15 yards against USC, and added two receptions agains tthe Trojans.
2013 (Freshman)
Newby played in every game and was third on the team with 298 rushing yards. He averaged 5.5 yards on his 54 carries. He also caught three passes, had four kickoff returns for 77 yards and a 10-yard punt return.
Newby opened the year with season highs of 15 carries and 76 yards against Wyoming. He added 60 yards against Southern Miss. Newby topped 50 yards for a third time in non-conference play with 52 yards and two touchdowns against South Dakota State. He had 61 rushing yards at Purdue, including a season-long 23-yard run. Newby had a career-long 24-yard kickoff return vs. Iowa.
Before Nebraska (Chaminade HS)
Newby posted back-to-back seasons with more than 2,000 yards rushing for Chaminade High in West Hills, Calif. In his career, Newby accounted for 105 total touchdowns for Coach Ed Croson's team. As a senior in 2012, Newby ran for 2,305 yards and 45 touchdowns and averaged 7.7 yards per carry. Newby also caught 18 passes for 176 yards and helped Chaminade to a 12-2 record and a trip to the finals of the CIF Southern Section playoffs. Newby's top game in 2012 came against Harvard-Westlake, when he rushed for 360 yards and eight touchdowns in a 78-34 victory. For his efforts as a senior, Newby was a finalist for the Cal/Hi Sports Mr. Football Award and was named to the Los Angeles Times high school football all-star team. He was also the Western Division Offensive Player of the Year and the Los Angeles Daily News Player of the Year.
Newby also topped 2,000 yards as a junior in 2011, running for 2,117 yards and 34 rushing touchdowns on 303 attempts. He also caught 18 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown, while returning punts for Chaminade, helping his team to a 10-3 record and a trip to the semifinals of the CIF Southern Section playoffs. Newby first made a splash as a sophomore when he rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns for Chaminade, helping his team to an 11-2 record and a playoff semifinal appearance. Newby was regarded as one of the top 75 overall prospects in the country by Rivals.com, which listed him as the top running back in California and one of the top 10 overall prospects in the Golden State. Newby was among the top 150 players in the country by 247 Sports which listed him among the top 20 players in California and as the No. 11 running back prospect in the nation. Newby was an honorable-mention Parade All-American and played in the International Bowl, earning MVP honors. He chose Nebraska over UCLA, Oregon, California and Washington and had offers from dozens of other schools.

From the Publisher"An excellent book that is not only beautifully researched but also extremely entertaining to read. The Flem-Aths' theory on Atlantis will go down in the annals of this subject as one of the most convincing and imaginative. Well done for the first-class tour de force."
"Rand and Rose Flem–Ath's Atlantis Beneath the Ice is a fascinating and compelling read. Piling tantalising amounts of ancient history, along with modern scientific theories, into the mix with the ancient idea of Atlantis, is sure to draw in the new reader–and the Atlantis know–it–alls will come away with a few surprises. The melding of myth, science and the endearing legend of Atlantis, proves to be one tasty brew for the mind and the soul."

Gallery: Two US Students Develop Affordable Ceramic Water Filtration Sy...
Two US students from Penn State University have developed an affordable ceramic water filtration system for Africa's Sub-Saharan countries. The system is based on a design by the non-profit organization Potters for Peace, and it can be built in just two days for $200.
Working under the Penn State's Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) program, students Kory Hansen and Jin Ju Kim first tested and tried the filters on the Penn State campus. The system removed 99.9 percent of bacteria and it shows promise as a method of securing fresh water for homes in rural East African home, eliminating the need to go to long distances to collect it.
"The filter itself, made of clay and sawdust, eliminates 80 percent of the bacteria and pathogens. When it is coated in silver, it reacts and makes it 99 percent effective. However, silver is probably the only thing not local, and it had to be imported from India or China," said Hansen.
"The water didn't go through the local clay very well. We didn't realize the clay had to be prepared differently. We fired it at the temperature used in the classroom, and the mixture of sand and clay turned to glass and filled the holes that filter the water," she added.
After working on the water filter system, the students took up another micro-financed project, dealing with social needs of women in African countries. Their aim is to have the results published in an international journal later this year.

What an exciting concept!
The beauty in this innovation is that clean water is no longer an element of charity or some handout. These low cost water filters only require education and training for the communities to be empowered to filter their own water.
We have teamed up with a charity See Beyond Borders to help support rural communities in Cambodia through our company. These kind of innovations are going to help us make such a massive impact.
Thanks for the great article!
Also, I'd love to hear from anyone that has experience with water projects in developing communities for a blog series we want to run!

AdamMichaels – we're not talking home water filters here. These are water filtration systems for third world countries that don't currently have access to clean water systems. Professional mobile water purification systems can cost substantially more than $200 because of the technology and expertise required to set them up.
I think this is a great innovative way for countries who can't afford a professional grade water filtration system to still provide clean water to their people.

I can understand people trying to help solve the world\\\'s water problems by trying to find new solutions regarding water filters, however, this will not be one that is going to be applied. $200 is way too expensive for the people who really need it to be able to afford it. Not only that, there are other water filters out on the market already that do an equal or better job for less cost/price.

What do you know about soil mealybugs?
So, I was checking the bottom of the roots of my Hypoestes phllyostachya, and saw some white beads. They didn't seem to move and I pulled them out the best I could. I also saw the same thing on another plant (which I cannot remember for the life of me), and thought it was honestly a fungus.
Now, I came across a photo of a pest and put 2 and 2 together. OH NO, not soil mealies!
What can I do to get rid of them? Are they are contagious as those that like to infest axils and undersides of leaves? Please help. :(
Hi PG,
They're not turquoise. They're white/off yellow. Not to say you said this, but it's not perlite and it's certainly not a granule of fertilizer.
I'll take a picture when I get home. For now, this is what I saw on the rootballs a while back.
Those aren't root mealies, which look like ash and are on the plant's roots (there are no real soil mealies, as mealies live off of living plant tissue). That appears to me to be eggs of some insect, but I guess it could be fungi, too.
I'd chuck the old soil and repot with fresh.
Hi Goddess, How've you been?
I hope your plant doesn't have soil meal. I've never seen this pest on a plant, but they are bad news.
If you can't get an answer here on HP Forum, try the African Violet Forum. Soil Mealy is often found in AV soil.
I hope your plant is without these awful insects. Toni
Thanks for your input, guys. Toni, I'm doing fine thank you. And yourself? :)
I have pictures. Please respond...I have the plant out of the pot and want to know what to do ASAP.
Again, they don't move. However, I did find them both at the top and bottom of the pot. The sides of the pot don't appear affected.
I've never had the pleasure of seeing root mealybugs in person, but these sure do look like the images I found. I'm not sure what to do about them, but I'll do some searching for you. For now, repot the plant to protect the roots.
Let's try to solve the problem without toxic chemicals or potentially harmful elixers.
That is not a mealybug infestation. It is a type of fungus, including some mycelia or fungus roots. The fungus is relatively harmless and does not require any drastic action as it will not harm the plant. However, it is often a sign that the soil is being kept too moist and that will lead to root rot.
I suggest that you put the plant back into its pot and allow the soil to dry out as deep into the pot as possible. Be sure to not let the pot sit in water.
Now, aren't you glad you don't have mealybugs to deal with?!
OMG, I'm so hoping you are right! I love this plant to pieces - it's the only one blooming for me right now.
The only reason I water her as often as I do is because she's a "fainter"...she sits in a bright window and will wilt if she gets too dry. I watered her yesterday.
Now that I think of it, it's in crappy MG soil. I'm going to repot her later on in the year. THANK YOU!!!!
Yep, Will's right, it's a mold. You're watering too often or (and this is my guess) it's got too much peat in the soil (but not much Spam in it).
And you're spot on about the MG soil - use only in dire straits (or if it's free, but it first has to be filtered for chunkage, and perhaps porosity-inducing material (perlite / pumice) introduced)).
Cactus, can we agree to call it a fungus and not a mold? Mold has negative connotations, I think. Many soil borne fungi are beneficial.
You DO have a little bit of root pruning to do, before you repot. Just snip off those lower, circling roots with some sharp scissors. The roots look very healthy, nice and white.
Goddess, okay, thank you.
I did a search for your Hypoestes/Polka Dot Plant. Three common problems are Scale, 'yours doesn't have Scale,' Grey or Powdery Mildew.
One article said, Grey Mildew is caused by cold, wet soil, or plant isn't getting enough light.
Since the leaves 'Faint,' you're watering properly unless leaves are wilting to the point they drop.
They need light to keep colors. In summer, soil should be kept moderately moist. Winter growing is a pain. Soil definately needs to dry between waterings.
Pinching stem/leaf tips keeps compact. Without proper light they grow tall and spindly. Pinching prevents this from happening.
I don't know what's going on with soil, sorry. I still say, if you suspect soil Mealy, check out AV Forum, and/or Google pictures of Soil Mealy, Mildews, Mold, etc.
Polka Dots are beautiful plants, but do best outdoors, as accent plants. Both pink and green types.
But, they're not impossible growing indoors, if the right conditions are met.
I truly hope you find a solution.
Good luck, Goddess......Toni
Thank god mine don't have scale! I don't have the patience for those bugs and will chuck any plant that does have it.
I'm not pretty assured that this is a fungus, not soil/root mealies. Phew. I will let her dry out though. I usually neglect her until she faints but since I was actually around this week, I probably watered her too much.
She's growing happily in a west window. I just recently started pinching so she's a little top-heavy, heh.
Thanks so much for your concern. :) I was very anxious yesterday.
Thank you for everyone as well. Gardeners, as I always say, really are a good bunch.
I have had soil mealies, and they are very hard to get rid of. Below are two photos of them on a Thanksgiving cactus I had. One is the mealies in the drip tray, one is the mealies in the soil. Mine look smaller than what you have in your photo, as far as I can tell. What I do for them is this. If the plant can be propagated from a cutting, I do that. It has to be a part of the plant that didn't touch the soil. Then I toss the soil and roots out. The pot I wash in lysol and let dry. I have tossed out macrame plant hangers that I made just to be sure. If it is a plant that goes dormant, I let it go dormant, remove every bit of the soil and toss it, wash the pot and the bulb, corm, root or whatever, and then store it in a bag until just before it is time to replant. The mealies can't survive a winter in the dry air. This has worked for calla lilies, and Hippiastrums. Fortunately these groups are most of the plants that I have. If it can't be propagated, I toss the plant and the soil and replace it. Or I put it outside in the 20 below zero weather, and then toss it. If it is an irreplaceable plant, you could try a systemic, but it isn't all that effective. Some people have had good luck with treating the soil with a good long soak in hot water, but that hasn't worked for me. The mealies make a sort of hydrophobic area that they hang out in, and then go right back to root munching. You can see the hydrophobic layer in the photo to the right of the red circles around the mealies. The ladies on the African violet form suggest marathon mixed in with the soil. I don't use a lot of chemicals. I took cuttings of this cactus, so I still have it.
I've never had the pleasure of seeing root mealybugs in person, but these sure do look like the images I found. I'm not sure what to do about them, but I'll do some searching for you. For now, repot the plant to protect the roots.
Let's try to solve the problem without toxic chemicals or potentially harmful elixers.

Help! Plenty of Leaves and plenty of Horse stall manure- no heat
I was given two pickup trucks full of Horse stall cleanings. I picked up the first truckload three weeks ago and overnight it went to 153 degrees on it's own just laying in the truckbed and then it cooked for a few days.
I then picked up the second truckload last week and began to mix the recipe I thought would get everything cooking.
So I built 2 very large compost bins with Concrete wire mesh each around 5 feet in diameter and 6 feet tall. I wrapped the inside of each bin with Black plastic, and put 3 times as many dogwood leaves as I did the Manure mixed with the stall hay/shavings. I made sure I wet it each time I put another layer till it was like a damp sponge and I added 4 gallons of kitchen scraps.
Between these two compost bins I have 2 pickup trucks full of Horse stall waste ( manure, urine, and the hay/straw mixture) and three times as many leaves. Obviously it's a lot more of the hay/shavings than manure in the stall mixture.
Why OH Why won't these piles get hot at all? I am runing out of land to pile all of this and I have 25 bags of oak leaves coming from another friend.
I am borrowing a shredder this week to see if I shred everything and pry that it will get hot.
What is wrong with my piles?
Do I need more greens?
I can't see much that's wrong with your plan, but here are two thoughts. The plastic is keeping air out of the sides of the pile, and air is an essential component for proper cooking. Did you put plastic on the bottom too? That could be trouble if there is too much water - it can't drain out.
The other thing I thought of was that the manure/bedding mix may already have about the right brown-green ratio. The wood shavings or sawdust they often use is a super-brown. The fact that your pile went to 150F suggests it *might* have been balanced OK to begin with.
Poke some holes through the pile to let air in and check the conditions, and see what happens.
Wrapping this large bin in plastic is not only unnecessary, but counterproductive. Compost piles need air and water to continue the composting process. So they need to be turned when the moisture and air are used up. Pretty hard to do that when the pile is six feet high. Even three or four feet high material can be hard to turn.
My open style mesh bins are hardware cloth, four feet in diameter and two feet high. Larger one are four feet by eight feet and two feet high. Easy to turn with a compost fork. They do not need to be four feet high because the ground under the pile can store heat. So if one makes a hot square pile 4'by4'by4', the highest core temp will not be 2' down, but maybe six or eight inches below that.
I guess I'll be pulling the plastic off tomorrow and replacing it with come old chicken wire I have. Then through the shredder, make sure it's not too wet and then shipping it off to Lyoyd/pt03.

eding it all through the leaf shreederr
From what I've read, high heat can indirectly lead to a loss of N but it is because it can cause a low oxygen environment which leads to anaerobic conditions. If the pile is adequately aerated, there should be little if any loss of N even in a strong thermophilic pile. Having said that, it is unlikely that a pile will have adequate aeration throughout the entire pile so some loss of N is inevitable. Furthermore, any compost pile (hot or cold) can lose N if it goes anaerobic.
I get elephant/rhino manure free from the zoo. When they move it into their huge piles, it steams in a major way. They don't let us have it until it's done.
I bring it home and let it sit cold in a pile. The stuff I got in the spring, with no heat, no watering (except rain) and no turning has further broken down into beautiful black dirt (for absence of a better word.) The spring oak leave pile 15 ft away did break down but not throughly. Some leaves I added to part on the manure (as an experiment) did not break down that great either. Glad I didn't add more leaves.
Lloyd, I can't send you any of my prized elephant/rhino manure, but I could talk to the zoo about loaning you an elephant. Do you have a pickup?
>>The stuff I got in the spring, with no heat, no watering (except rain) and no turning has further broken down into beautiful black dirt (for absence of a better word.)
bugbite: the word you're looking for is humus! Or compost.
Humus is the residual organic matter in soil, what is left of compost after the Soil Food Web is done munching on it.
Here is a link that might be useful: About humus
Back when we did have chickens, rabbits, and a horse (pony actually) I used some of the leaves I collceted from town as bedding for them and found that adding the cleanings form the horse stall, chicken coop, and from under the hutches to more leaves in the compost bins do not adversly affect the process provided I paid attention to the 3 to 1 ratio and did not wet the material too much.
Is this horse stall manure or is it used horse bedding (turds included)?
Horse poop C:N is about 21:1, kinda hot.
Most bedding is straw and wood chips.
That C:N is about 350:1, give or take 25.
Luckily, the horse urine is around 1:28, but there isnt a whole lot and gets used quickly or converts to ammonia vapor. That would explain why it was steaming, then cooled down.
To get your C:N ratio to the 30:1 you want, you need to add N.
To figure out how much N you need to add, take the C value of your browns, divide that by 30 and divide the weight of your browns by that number.
Lets say you have 100 lbs of used horse bedding.
100 lbs / 11.66 = 8.58 lbs of N per 100 lbs
Using urea as the N source, which is 46% N, divide 8.58 by .46, you get how much urea you need to apply to to get your proper 30:1 ratio.
8.58 / .46 = 18.65 lbs of urea per 100 lbs of used horse bedding.
I am currently doing this with several 300 lb batches of used horse bedding.
To a 50 lb, smallish bag, you add over 9 lbs of urea?
What percentage of manure and straw is in the bedding? I'm trying to visualize bedding with a ratio of 350: 1.
Wood chips is 400:1.
Sawdust 325:1
Straw is 75:1.
Sounds like almost all wood products.
With all that urea how long does it take to break down?
Incidentally, leaves are 60:1.
Of course all those numbers can vary by type of wood, leaves, etc.
Idea is a 30:1 Carbon/Nitrogen ratio (Browns:Greens)
Determine the C:N ratio of the Browns and Greens you will be adding. There are many charts online that give the C:N ratio of commonly composted items.
Browns Greens
Divide the C by 30 for Browns and multiple N by 30 for Greens
Divide those 2 numbers
Multiply C by the number for Browns and divide the N by the number for Greens
High Carbon High Nitrogen
Wood Chips Urea
400:1 1:46
N needed to make a 30:1 ratio for Wood Chips(N1)
= 400/30
C needed to make a 30:1 ratio for Urea(C2)
= 46*30
400/103.8 = 3.9
3.9 lbs of Wood chips to 1 lb or Urea will balance out the 400:1(Wood Chips/Browns) and 1:46(Urea/Greens) to 30:1
.26 lbs of Urea to every 1 lb of Wood chips. (1 divided by 3.9)
Using that formula, its more like 12 lbs of urea for 50 lbs. Thats about a gallon and a half of urine.
Have you tried ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate versus urea?
From OSU (see link):
"Use only ammonium nitrate fertilizer with an analysis of 34-0-0 or ammonium sulfate with an analysis of 21-0-0. Other types of fertilizers (especially urea) can be lost into the air in a manure pile and do no good. Add about 10 pounds of ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate per ton of horse manure/sawdust mix. This is about 1/3 pound (about 1/2 cup) of ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate per 1,000-pound horse per day."
Help me get from your rate (480 lbs of urea per ton) to their rate (10 lbs of ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate per ton). How many lbs of ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate do you recommend per ton of horse manure/sawdust mix, based on your calculations?
What is the 0-0-0 of the urea you are speaking about? Maybe that is where I am having difficulty in grasping your formula. Guess I could understand if it were like .5-0-0.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks

It says so much, and looks beautiful doing it!
Thanks Robin. Yes it was such a simple scene, all deserted with the slanting sun so bright on the white plastic. I didn't think this image had much going for it when I took but when I saw it large on the computer, I changed my mind.

Evergreen do-gooder Sting (above) will be gracing Hong Kong with his presence next month. Born Gordon Sumner, the British eco-activist got his moniker from a black and yellow striped shirt he wore on stage early in his career (he looked like a wasp; geddit?).10 Nov 2012 - 11:31pm

As this year marks the 50th anniversary of James Bond's debut on the silver screen, Skyfall has to be special. Thankfully, it is.

Book lovers 50 or younger likely possess a slideshow inserted into their memory by Roald Dahl: James' giant peach; Charlie's golden ticket to the chocolate factory; the BFG's snozzcucumber and flatulence-inducing frobscottle. But for sheer grotesquerie, none can match the evil titular characters of one of his last children's classics.6 Nov 2012 - 9:20pm
Along with politics and sex, religion makes up the trifecta of taboo subjects: the three things you don't talk about in polite society, let alone lampoon before millions on the big screen.

Fashion's obsession with youth might be waning. Could it be losing its love of adolescent waifs? Probably not entirely, judging by the girls on the catwalk and in magazines.

Christopher Hitchens was the best company in the world; he had read widely and because he was an industrious man and filled with curiosity, he hoped to read much more.

Tawny Taylor is the Playboy Cybergirl of the Week for January 17 2011. Take it from salon owner Tawny: Hair makes the man—whether he has any or not. "Chest hair is so sexy," she says, "and I'm a sucker for guys who can pull off the sexy bald look."… Styling hair is just one of her passions, others being crazy nights out with her girlfriends and monster truck rallies. "I just love to have a good time," says Tawny. "I'm a great wingman. I like to do fun things most girls don't, like boating, camping, tailgating, Colts games and riding four-wheelers. We Midwestern girls know how to do it best!"

Lauren Anderson is the Playboy Playmate for July 2002. This sexy photos have been extracted from Playboy Special Editions once more, it's great to bring out pictures that you probably haven't seen before! Lauren Anderson became Miss July after winning tv's Girl Next Door contest back in 2002. It takes a special woman to win a contest like Fox' Girl Next Door: The Search for a Playboy Centerfold without enduring a few claw marks, but Lauren Anderson emerged unscathed and even made some new friends along the way. "The whole thing was an incredible experience," says Miss July. "I got along with all the girls and want to keep in touch with them." You may recognize the 22-year-old Florida college senior from the October 2001 Girls of the SEC pictorial, but Lauren doesn't think her previous modeling experience gave her an edge on the competition. "It had no bearing whatsoever," she says. "We were judged on the pictures that were shot during the show. I love being on camera and acting — it comes naturally to me.

Katie Lohmann Playboy Playmate April 2001
January 15, 2011 | Katie Lohmann, Playboy Playmates | 4 Comments
Katie Lohmann is the Playboy Playmate for April 2001. I dug up some rare pictures of Katie for you to enjoy that I found hidden on the Playmate Specials website. Katie looks picture-perfect to us, and the 21-year-old is unapologetic about her privileged childhood. "I would love to say that I was a struggling child and now I'm a Centerfold, but that's not my story," she explains. "I was pretty spoiled, but I was a good student, stayed away from drugs and was really athletic." She pinned a lot of lucky guys to the mat as the only girl on her high school wrestling team, which we suspect had unprecedented participatory interest. Although Miss April has acting on the brain, she still finds time to get romantic. Does she paint the town red? "I like to go out with a guy and paint the town red, blue, green, yellow and purple," she says. For now, Katie wants to take care of business. "I told my mom that I have three wishes: to be a Playmate, to be in movies and to win an award," she says. "I'm the youngest child and extremely independent, so I learned that you take care of things or they won't get done. I just want people to see that I'm going to do something with myself. I know something good is going to happen."

My Favorite Tv Show: Sex and the City.
My Favorite Sport: In school I was the only girl on the wrestling team. I got voted "most aggressive" in the lightweights. I wish I could still do it, but modeling and acting have taken over.

Jessica Gamboa is the Playboy Cybergirl of the Month for January 2011. Jessica's Cyber Girl of the Month shoot was one of good girlish fun and slight extravagance. The hiking and yoga enthusiast turned back the clock for a sexy and classic setting… this time around, even wearing—and seductively removing—a vintage bra from the 1920s. "I adore hair and makeup sessions and being pampered is always a treat," Jessica says. "I had a blast! I am grateful for all the opportunities and blessings placed before me." So with all of the costuming involved in her Playboy photo shoots, how does Jessica manage to keep her vivacious personality in check? "I love performing and being behind the camera, so I like to try to match the mood of the shoot: dark sexy, playful sexy…. I look into the lens as I would the guy I love." Lucky guy, eh?

Jennifer Pershing Playboy Playmate March 2009
January 6, 2011 | Jennifer Pershing, Playboy Playmates | 3 Comments
Jennifer Pershing is the Playboy Playmate for March 2009, and for January 2011 she has been named as the Playboy Playmate Xtra. Four hot weeks of new pictures and videos of Jennifer Pershing await us! At Key Club one night we spotted Jennifer Pershing, a 28-year-old platinum goddess, dancing onstage. "I go there every week to see a band called Steel Panther," says Jennifer. "I grew up loving Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses and Poison, and this is my outlet because these guys are so good at recreating that vibe. Maybe I'm attracted to guys in spandex who wear makeup. It's just my thing."
Jenn's idea of a good time is to hit the Strip with her gal posse and party like it's 1989. "My friends are superhot. We put on little shiny pants and rock knee-high boots and all that fun stuff," she says. "One night a Playboy scout approached me and asked if I would pose for the magazine, which had been my dream since I was 18. What's funny is that just before he asked me, I had watched the movie The Secret. The idea in the film is 'If you want something, ask the universe for it.' So I would do this little meditation and imagine how I would feel when my dreams came true. It seemed so stupid when I was doing it, but literally a month later I was at a Playboy test shoot."

Playboy found out a little more about Katie Carroll
Playboy: You're an english major. What's more important: good looks or good grammar?
Katie: I look for the total package…. I won't pursue a romance if a man has bad grammatical skills and can't write a coherent love letter.
Playboy: What books do you keep on your nightstand?
Katie: I keep a few novels by Beat writer Jack Kerouac like On the Road and, my personal favorite, Big Sur. My ideal guy can have just about any book by his bed—as long as he can read!
Playboy: And how might a guy pry a book out of your hands when it's lights-out?
Katie: One of my biggest turn-ons is men who wear glasses. If he puts on a pair of sexy reading glasses and starts reading my book, that's all I need!

Too late for cushaws?
I'm wondering if it would be too late in the season to start a second crop of cushaw squash. My first set of vines are doing poorly for the most part, with only one vine producing a decent-sized fruit. The others are stunted and have stunted fruits, or none at all, and are no longer growing or flowering. (My butternuts are still going bananas!)
I'm pretty sure I know what I did wrong for this batch and would like to try again. We have a fairly long growing season, so I was thinking it *might* be okay to try. Opinions?
Go for it! My husband grw up with these monsters. If memory serves me, I've planted in late June early July and they were ready in the fall. I stopped growing them because their vines cause blisters on my arms.
To anyone who has never grown them, they grow vines that can be very long. The leaves look like giant lily pads and the squash can be 10 pounds or more.
BTw I have seeds from a more orange flesh squash that is shaped like a cushaw only more orange than just the green and white. I bought it in the fall to roast and freeze for him. Would you like the seeds? I'll mail them to you if you email me.
Cynthia -- just wanted to let you know that the day after I got the seeds, I planted 8 in a mound way in the back so they'd get plenty of room to grow. I went out today, and I have 4 very healthy seedings! It took them awhile to come up, and the ants got a couple of the seeds. Go figure, they're coming up right in the middle of a heatwave, but they're semi-shaded, and they love this kind of weather. Thanks so much for sharing!
That is great news!
When we had them, they moved from part shade to sunlight. But they would produce in both. I gave gthem names: Bill and Hill...Hoss and Little Joe. ou get the idea. When they come up there are often more than one on the same vine and several vines going in different directions from one plant.
Stand back....here they come!

30,000 Mile Check-Up
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Hi Bob,
Soon it will be time for my car's 30,000 mile check-up. Can you tell me what things are typically looked at during this check-up?
To find out exactly what needs to be done, consult your vehicle's owner's manual. In the back of the book, it will list a maintenance schedule. That's where you'll find your answer. Some things to look for though, change oil and filter, lube all points, check trans, check brakes, check hoses, check coolant. Possibly a tune up. This will cost around $400 or so.>
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

Hello -
I am going to brew a light beer this weekend..something lighter...
I saw a quick recipe posted a while ago:
3 lb. Light liquid malt extract
2 lb. Extra Light DME
1 oz. Mt. Hood hops @ 5% AA boiled 60 min.
Wyeast #1007 German Ale yeast
...Might add some Crysral 20
Any thoughts?
#1 Gone - Amber Ale (Success)
#2 Drinking - Pilsner Lager (ho..hum)
#3 Conditioning American Amber - (Sneak peek..Success - very hoppy..best yet)
#4 Secondary Fat Tire Clone (unsure)
#5 - Primary (Empty - Something Light)
Nothing???Is a light beer
Hey! That's my recipe! Actually it's loosely based on one in Al Korzonas's Homebrewing Vol. 1. As far as light, low alcohol beers go, I like it alot. The first batch of this I brewed sat in the seconary for a month, it came out very clear, and still carbonated well.
The second batch I brewed as a starter for a Belgian Tripel, so I substituted a Belgian yeast. Wow, it is NOT good. Amazing what a difference in flavor just by changing the yeast.
So brew it up, feel free to toss some crystal malt in there. Let me know how you like it.
Beer. It's what's for dinner.
5 lbs of malt versus 6 lbs isn't that much lighter.
What was the OG and FG that you got when you brewed it?
OG was 1.039, FG was 1.010.
You can usally buy a light beer cheeper than you can make it. But i ve made one also. Turned out great. If you dont mind spending the money go for it. I used an american ale yeast in mine.
Went with a Vanilla Cream Ale instead.
2 vanilla beans in secondary, but very light none the less. OG was 1.048.
I sliced open the beans and scraped out the vanilla granuals from inside, then diced up the outer sheaths. Mixed it all together with a splash of vodka to sanatize/bring out the flavor in the vanilla. The mixture is sitting in the fridge until this weekend when I rack it.
I'm thinking of dry hopping too.
Does anyone have any experience with vanilla beans, am I gonna get any flavor from this?

That's the word used by Rob Hagans to describe the news a skull discovered by pedestrians in Thornhill Sunday belonged to his father, Robert.
It was on one of the hottest days of 2011 – July 22 – the 76-year-old North York resident went missing.
The only details Rob and his three brothers have about that day is that their father originally set out from his Finch Avenue East and Don Mills Road home for the Services Canada office on Yonge Street, north of Sheppard Avenue.
The last time he was seen was on surveillance cameras at 4900 Yonge St. at 1 p.m. that day.
What happened next may never be known.
Until Wednesday, when York Regional Police officers who showed up at Rob's door to share their discovery with the family, everyone had their own theories about what had happened to Mr. Hagans.
"It's bittersweet to have closure. We have answers, but they are incomplete," Rob said today. "Considering the circumstances and where he was, it opens up so many more questions."
Rob is mystified at how his father would have made the roughly 16-kilometre journey from his home to Services Canada and then on to the site where his remains were eventually found, near Callaway Court in Thornhill.
"He walked a lot, but for a 76-year-old, that's hard to believe, especially considering he didn't have any money on him at the time," he added.
Although police are now saying they do not believe foul play is involved in the death, Rob said he has had a hard time swallowing that.
"It's hard not to think: why and how would he end up there?" he said. "The mystery is partially solved because he was found, but the circumstances of how (he met his fate) are festering in my mind. I just wish I could get some definitive answers, everything is incomplete."
Although his father was never diagnosed with symptoms, Rob admitted he and other members of his family were beginning to question if they were witnessing the beginning stages of dementia before he went missing.
"We suspected it, but it was never diagnosed," he added. "There were signs that something was going amiss."
On Tuesday, before the discovery, one of the lead investigators in the case, Det.-Sgt. John Braybrook, mused if skull could have belonged to someone with Alzheimer disease who became disorientated.
Although questions still remain, Rob was also upbeat that a huge weight had been lifted from his mind after 18 months of questions.
"There's a huge relief when someone finally told me that the journey was over and that me father had been found," he said. "We rejoiced that our stresses would be over."
When he learned the news, the first thing he did was call family in Toronto, Calgary, Victoria and Ireland.
He long ago stopped listening to news with his father's discovery in mind.
"Every time we saw a news story and they had found something, our hearts pumped into our throats," Rob said. "We had just resigned ourselves to the fact that when —or if — police found him, they would come and tell us. But when I saw police at my door, I knew instinctively (the skull) belonged to my father.
"Even if you try not to think about it, I guess there is a part of your mind where it does register."
Everyone in his family had theories about what happened to their father, ranging from him winning the lottery and moving to Barbados to being abducted by aliens.
"The thing that kept me sane was (the thought) he was abducted, because that's something he would have got a kick out of," Rob added.
He said his father was devoted to science fiction and was halfway through writing a book about physics, specifically, time space and a theory on black holes.
"He was convinced of his theories and he wanted eventually to take them to Stephen Hawking," he said with a chuckle.
As far as what kind of man his dad was, he called the five-foot, two-inch former mechanical engineer a "feisty" character.
"He was a fun loving, great guy, who would give you the shirt off his back," Rob said. "He was the kind of guy, where even if it would get him in trouble he would do it for you. He was strong and stubborn, he was the quintessential Irishman."
He also shared details of how police determined the skull had belonged to his father.
According to Rob, police found some of his father's clothes and located a bank card along with segments of his shoulder, which contained parts from replacement surgery.
A funeral will be planned after the investigation is complete.
"We've waiting this long, a few more weeks won't hurt," Rob said.
Mr. Hagans is survived by sons Bill, Steven, Rob and Jeff.
