THE GREATER GOOD is an award winning character-driven documentary
that explores the cultural intersections where parenting meets modern medicine
and individual rights collide with politics.
THE GREATER GOOD weaves together the stories of families whose lives have been forever changed by vaccination. This important perspective on the issue of vaccine safety has been left out of the mainstream media debate for too long.
THE GREATER GOOD is inspiring parents nationwide to learn more about the issue, and to foster an informed, balanced conversation with their doctors, schools and communities.
When Ray Martin opened the Scoop in 2001, he was the first Bay Area entrepreneur to sell organic ice cream flavored with sustainably sourced and local ingredients, such as on organic ice cream base from Straus organic creamery in Marshall, strawberries from Russ Sartori's farm in Tomales, raspberries from Mt. Barnabe Farms in San Geronimo, lavender and honey grown in West Marin. Fairfax Scoop has gone on to become one of Marin's hottest destinations for ice cream served in cookie-like, waffled cones and cups made fresh, on the premises, also from organic ingredients. A dozen flavors are served at any time; these always include one soy ice cream and one sorbet.
Recently they churned up the best peach ice cream I've ever had and a creamy, bracing lemon poppy seed. Other interesting taste treats are Grasshopper, mint ice cream colored green with spirulina, with chunks of Newman's Own organic mint cookies; and Hula Dance, coconut ice cream rippled with fudge, macadamia nuts and white chocolate. At Christmastime, their eggnog ice cream is unbeatable, as is a pumpkin made with sugar pie pumpkins from Allstar Organics in Nicasio.

Navy Seals Disciplined For Revealing Secrets As Consultants On Video Game 204
from the box-of-rocks 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).
Put 'em in jail. If they can't break out, they weren't really good Seals anyways.
In 2012 , a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...Seal Team Six.
Putting a whole elite tactical unit together in prison... in the same stockade... seems like a very bad idea to me. Especially if they believe they do not deserve this fate.
I'd put that in the "what could go wrong" department.
"we will attack tomorrow at 2am" makes sense to keep that secret. "we had to fight three groups of guards before we got to bin ladin" makes no sense at all.
My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
When will you be back?
I can't tell you that. It's classified.
Then, you can simply declassify what you want and get some of your Hollywood buddies to make a movie with the information.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.

Happy (almost) Spring!!!
Luking, lurking, lurking! I overextended myself a little bit this month, but things should be calming down with the swaps I'm involved in the end of next week. I can give you a better idea if I can after that (It's not a matter of wanting to!) Love the idea of the swap though. So much to play with, with Spring Fling being the theme!
Welcome, heyitzbenny! Glad to have you!
Hey, Becky! I know what you mean! I think I was in 6 or 7 different swaps last month. It was a bit crazy. The sticky notes were beginning to take over my desk, LOL! I sent out my last 2 packages yesterday though, so now I'm ready for the next one. I hope you decide to join!
Welcome Melissa and journey149! Thanks for joining!
Here is who we have so far:
We're off to a good start! Since there are some names that I'm not familiar with, does anyone want to share a little about themselves, or their garden?
I'll start. My vegetable garden is really more of a "veggie patch". It's only about 60 sq.ft. and located in the front yard. In that small space, I've grown tomatoes, peppers, peas, lettuce, Swiss chard, spinach, beans, carrots, cucumbers, miniature pumpkins, canteloupes, broccoli, onions, basil, and marigolds. I also have an herb bed for perennial herbs, and grow annual herbs in pots on the porch.
Here is a picture taken late in the season last year. The cucumbers were taking over the empty lot next door, and the tomatoes were a jungle.
... and here is a shot of the herb bed. There's two kinds of sage, two kinds of parsley, oregano, thyme, French tarragon, chives, garlic chives, lavender, and agastache (hummingbird mint) in there.
I'd love to see photos of everyone else's garden!
What a beautiful garden!
Well, I don't know how many sq ft to say my garden is.....last year I had four rows that I would say are about 25-30 ft. each. I had tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beans (which the deer ate), corn (which the raccoons ate), and peppers. I also had a seperate melon patch with several different types of melons. Tried to grow some herbs on my porch, but it didn't turn out well, think I may have started too late? Anyway, gonna try again this year. Also, my husband is going to move my garden spot and give me a bit more room....I have a ton of new things that I wanns try this year! I love many veggies, but right now I am kinda hung up on tomatoes and melons (which is why I'm hosting a melon/cuke swap :-), and we've already had some mater swaps that I am really excited about getting seeds back from :-)
We live out in the country, so I have a LOT of room for my garden, my biggest problem is keeping the critters outta it :-) I think I am going to try corn in earthtainers on the deck this year. Haven't figured out what to do to keep the deer outta the beans though....can't afford an electric fence right now. Last year was really the first year that I got really into my garden and started things from seed and such. I (of course) messed up the first batch of seeds I started during hardening off and so I had to restart and was a little later than I should have been getting things in the ground, but we live and learn :-) I did learn a lot last year and am SO looking forward to this year. It will be time to start seeds here in a week or two :-) My boys (4 & 2) are also exciting to help me in the garden this year....they have their own little tools and gloves....so cute :-) I also have a couple of flower beds with a wide variety of flowers in them and many bulbs that I grow in various places around my yard.
Sorry, I don't have any pics from last year of the whole garden, just a few of individual flowers and veggies.
Hi Everyone!!
First...count me in!! I am a newbie but i have become addicted. This is my second swap sign up in a week. I think I will put myself on sabaticle after this one.
I am just starting my veggie garden but hope to have lots of veggies to keep me busy!! I am also going to plant lots of herbs. (We use tons of herbs and spices because due to health issues we cannot use salt.)I also have a flower bed in the front of my house that I have some sort of bulbs I think coming in but since I just moved into this house I am not sure what they are yet...it will be a great surprise.
I also have an over grown bush in the front of the house. I call it my "mock" tree. I plan on finding some shade plants an dmaybe flowers to put at the base of it. I will definately post pictures as soon as I get started. I have been out all day weeding and getting it ready for planting. I also planted some seeds today for lemon basil and tabasco peppers in some starter pots. We'll see if they take.
A liitle about me and my family. I am 28 and my fiance is 27. He has heart problems and that is our motivation for the veggie garden. He has had 1 heart attack in Aug. 07 and currently has 4 stents, (one put in last week). This is a hereditary condition so its something we just have to deal with the best we can. I also have four kids so a veggie garden will save us alot of money!! LOL
Thanks all!! I am excited to get swapping!!
Melissa, your garden sounds like a nice size. Mine is curved on one side, so I'm just guessing at the sq.ft. It's about 5' x 12', and I would love to have more space. We have deer and raccoons (and skunks and bunnies) here too, but so far most of the damage has been to my flower beds, and to one of our apple trees. The deer love tulips and daylilies! I try to plant perennials that are deer resistant, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I think it's great that your boys help you in the garden! My older son, asked me to make pickles this past year, so we grew cucumbers, and he helped me learn to can. It was fun learning together. We also made salsa, jams and jellies.
Gardenfairy04, so glad you decided to join us! These swaps are addicting aren't they? It's great that you are planting herbs. My family got just as much use out of the herb bed as we did the vegetable garden. I LOVED being able to just walk out there and snip whatever we needed for dinner each night, and they taste so much better fresh. I brought a few herbs indoors over the winter, but they are just barely hanging on. I'll be glad when it warms up enough to put them back outside, where they will be happy again. I'm sorry to hear about your fiance's heart condition. At least you know he'll be eating healthy, if you are growing your own food.
Anyone else want to share a bit about their garden, or themselves? I LOVE to see pictures of other folks gardens!
Wow, it's great to see all these new names! :) Glad to have everyone join us. I had a very small garden last year for trial and error. I made it bigger for the Fall and then we got a Tropical storm that flooded our yard and killed everything. Hopefully everything will be better this year. :) My garden was approximately 7ft. X 12. Then I doubled it so it was 7ft X 24ft. Hoping to extend it this year to 60ft. X 20ft. We have an acre of yard in the back so it will give me plenty more room now that I know what I can grow well. Hoping to be able to can a few things, even if it's only pickles I'll know that I have succeeded! lol
So far this year we have built the kids a Teepee and will grow lots of beans on that and will double as a sort of play house. lol We'll get the ground tilled up this weekend coming and start planting next week. It's been so cold here it is making us have a later start than we originally planned. My herbs are doing fantastic though!!! Some of them went to seed when we had that first frost, and they have started to grow again. I love seeing the first little sprouts!!!
Bonnie, you had a beautiful garden!!! I love the herb garden too. We've got all of our herbs in pots, we hope to build a raised bed for them this time around. :) My DH is infatuated with raised beds and trellising. I told him we can't make the garden as big as I want it if we make them all raised! ROFL I have opted to share my seeds, and he gets his own raised bed gardens. I'm impressed that he's even showing the least bit of excitement to gardening. Plus he likes to use the "big power tool" (Tiller) ROFLMBO!!! I tried to explain to him that he doesn't get to use that big toy in his gardens if he makes raised beds. LOL
Gardenfairy, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a big family. We have five kids. :) Although they are his mine and ours they are with us more than the majority of time. There is never a dull moment around here. lol Glad to see you all eating healthier as a family!!! That's fantastic. :D
Opie12, last year was a very big trial and error for us! LOL But yes, we live and learn. I got a really late start last year, was looking at the wrong zone calendar. HAHA! But this year I've had some great expert advice on when to start, hopefully we get some great edibles out of the garden this year! I really can't wait to taste some of those home grown maters!!! :D
A little about me. I am 28 and a stay at home mom. I love gardening and love all the friends that I have made due to gardening. I think gardeners are the best people with the kindest hearts!!! :D I have been married for just over 5 years to the love of my life. I enjoy playing in the dirt, swapping plants and seeds and doing crafty things. I enjoy sewing, amateur photography and spending time with my family. Most of my kids enjoy gardening and growing plants in general, I'm so proud of them. My husband is Assistant Lot Manager at the Florida Auto Auction. AND is the biggest dork I've ever loved!!! ROFL
I am enjoying getting to know a little bit about everyone! Kathy, I think I have space envy! An acre in the back? My whole lot is probably less than a quarter acre! But you know, when I've had a garden friend from out of town stop by, she can't believe how much stuff I have crammed into that tiny space, LOL! It teaches you space management, and succession planting. I'm still working on my timing though. Last year, I only got two canteloupes because I kept waiting on the peas to finish up. I only have so much trellis space. Next time I'll stick them in between the pea plants, and by the time the canteloupes start to vine, I'll just cut the peas down.
Anywho, here is who we have so far:
Anyone else want to sign up? Or share a little about themselves?
Those of you that are new, if you have questions, and are afraid to ask them here, please don't hesitate to email me.
Ben, I'm sorry you won't be able to join us on this one : (
Doesn't anyone else have pictures of their garden? DH says I take more pictures of the garden than I do our kids. It's only because the plants hold still for the picture, LOL.
LOL Bonnie, that is so true isn't it!!! I didn't take many pics last year. I would share if I had some though. :) I will definitely take some pics this year though. I can't wait to get the ground tilled up!!! I was wondering if there was something that would keep the bugs down before they get started. I've gotten plenty of Marigold seeds and I don't want to use pesticides unless it's a very last resort. Any suggestions?
I would love to hear more about everyones gardens. Especially all the new unfamiliar peeps. :) Don't be shy, we don't bite around here. :D lol
I saw you mention that you plant perrinials that are deer resistant....what are the names of a few of those? I would like to give that a try to keep them away! I have two dogs, but they are of no use as far as the deer go....I think they may actually be afraid of the deer...lol!
Oh, I noticed some of y'all wrote a little about yourself too...so, I am 28, have two boys that I mentioned before, and two step daughters, but they live quite a bit away from us, so we only get them 2-3 times a year. Oh, I am a second grade teacher also. With spring coming we will be doing a unit on plants *smile* How could I not show them how to plant a seed and watch it grow :-)
Melissa, the things in my garden that they don't seem interested in are Achillea (Yarrow), Agastache, Asclepias tuberosa, Coreopsis, Echinacea, and Gaillardia. They also don't seem to like the herbs, such as lavender, sage, thyme, and chives. The things they really seem to enjoy in my garden are sedums, which grow so fast, and I have so many, that I just accept the nibbling, and things like Heuchera, Aquilegia, Geum and of course Tulips and Daylilies. Oh, and they love my absolute favorite shrub Physocarpus opulifolius 'Coppertina', which I refuse to give up!
I found a list (linked below) that has quite a few plants on it, that you might want to check out.
The good thing about the deer where I live is that they go up into the mountains in the summertime, so the damage is mainly in the spring.
Here is a link that might be useful: Deer resistant plants
Hi, I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts!
There are a number of us with big families, DH and I have four daughters. Heather 21, amanda 19, Michelle, 10 and Chelsea 9. We have lived in Florida for four and a half years. We are transplants from NJ.
Gardening in a different zone has been a challenge. Especially the BUGS!
Southerncharm, I have found companion planting to help some, I also add as much organic material as possible to my veggie bed, (Manure, kitchen scraps, shredded paper etc.) Nematodes do not like anything organic! I know the tropical storm you mentioned - Faye! Right? We are almost neighbors, I live in PSL. I had a papaya tree go down in that storm, the ground was too mushy and wet and I could not prop it up. Out of frustration, I threw it over the fence into the wooded lot next door. Wouldn't you know a couple of weeks later it was still alive and reaching for the sun. So I brought it back and it is doing fine, I hope to get some fruit this summer.
Opie, you can contact your local extension, they will be able to provide you a list of plants that are dear resistant in your area.
I went shopping yesterday and got some fun goodies for my box. I can't wait to find out who my partner is!
Nice to meet you all! Sharon
Joan, so glad you are going to join us on this one!
Here is who we have signed up so far:
There is still a couple of weeks left to sign up, if any of you lurkers want to join in : )
How was everyone's Valentine's Day? DH watched our 2 year old daughter, and I took the boys birdwatching, since this weekend was the Great Backyard Bird Count. We went down by the river, and got extremely lucky ... we saw two Bald Eagles!!! We cooked a nice dinner at home that night, since we didn't have a babysitter, and DH even washed the dishes! Can't complain about that, LOL. Today he took me to Lowe's and I bought a new planter for the front porch, and of course a few more packets of seeds. Then we went to the feed store and bought T-posts for my tomato plants, since the regular plant stakes I used last year snapped in half during a windstorm. Forget diamonds and chocolates, I'd rather have stuff for the garden, LOL!
Oh, and I picked up somethings for this swap too!
I'm having so much fun getting goodies together for this swap!!! lol I have already put in my seed order and possibly will put in another before we're finished. I've got it bad, I know. But there are just sooooo many great looking edibles out there. :D
We didn't have a sitter for the twins Saturday either, so we had a nice relaxing evening and just hung around the house watching a movie. I considered it a break! lol :D
Bonnie, if you would like to post partners a bit earlier than you were going to that would be fine. I think a lot of the people on here are tied up in the bigger swaps that are going on. We could still keep the sending date though. What do ya think?
Glad y'all had a nice weekend, mine was rather busy! DH works swing shift, so we went out to breakfast instead of lunch or dinner. Spent the rest of the afternoon with the boys, and going around delivering goodies to grandmas :-) Sunday night I started some of my tomato seeds :-) Very exciting :-)
Lol, I know what you mean about so many great looking edibles! I have a few orders out myself, and have been looking at a couple of other places that I think can get an order to me in a reasonable amount of time....so many places are so backed up this time of year...lol, all of us ordering seeds :-)
I am fine with partners being posted sooner.
Okay, I think I have emailed everyone that hasn't posted about assigning partners early. The extra time would help those that are thinking about ordering anything for their partner, or haven't had a chance to shop yet. I'll give it another day to hear back from everyone, and hopefully I'll be able to post partners either tomorrow or Thursday.
I bought a few more goodies today, the only thing I'm missing is the actual container, LOL! This was a fun swap to shop for!
I think it would be great to find out who our partners are going to be!
My daughters and I planted tons seeds yesterday. Lots of tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, peas, soy beans, okra etc.
Oh and lots of flowers, gotta have flowers!
We harvested most of the brocoli, just a little bit left for this season. We should have some sugar snap peas any day now.
What are you guys doing?
Sharon, I've wintersown several kinds of lettuce, spinach, herbs, and quite a few perennial and hardy annual flowers. The peppers I plan to sow indoors in another week or two, and then I'll start on the tomatoes. I can't wait to see those first sprouts!
Since everyone seems to be fine with posting partners early, I'll plan on posting them in the morning.
Okay lurkers, it's decision time, LOL!
May I humbly suggest that we all add a "For swappers section" to our trade page? I have found this to be extremely helpful in past swaps I have participated in. I would love to see what my partners likes and dislikes are in case I decide to add a little extra somethin' somethin' in my box. I would hate to send someone a vanilla candle or peat pellets if this is something they would not like or use.
Anyone else?
Thanks for joining, and have fun!

Tigers get first baseball win
Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta picked up the season's first baseball victory with a 5-3 win over Lac qui Parle Valley Tuesday at home.
Sam Mattson fanned 15 Eagles en route to a seven-inning four-hitter.
Mattson got 11 outs in a row by strike out starting after Sam Haas scored on a wild pitch in the first inning.
Still, the Eagles went ahead 3-2 in the top of the fifth when Haas, who tripled twice, scored from third on a suicide squeeze bunt by Colby Siegert.

Help Going organic in Chicago suburbs
Hello everyone after being a homeowner for four years I can not have the green or healthy grass that I want . My grass will only look good for a couple of months thanks to fertilizers and water but than will turn yellow . After searching here I decided to go organic and give it a try . Can someone tell me how to start . first where can I get a good soil test second what to use corn meal or what feed also any feed stores near the northwest suburbs by elgin il thanks in advance.
Your university of Illinois offers soil testing as well as advice about what you might need to do to create a good, healthy soil. The feed stores around here have all converted to cooperatives and do not sell to the general public any more. However, there are other farm supply stores to choose from
Aside from commercial meals what other types of organic matter are available to you? Grass clippings? Deciduous tree leaves? Yard and garden waste?
What does you soil need other than something, maybe, to adjust the pH? Would these simple soil tests, along with a test for pH, Phosphorus, Potash, Calcium, and Magnesium be of some use?
1) Soil test for organic matter. From that soil sample put enough of the rest to make a 4 inch level in a clear 1 quart jar, with a tight fitting lid. Fill that jar with water and replace the lid, tightly. Shake the jar vigorously and then let it stand for 24 hours. Your soil will settle out according to soil particle size and weight. For example, a good loam will have about 1-3/4 inch (about 45%) of sand on the bottom. about 1 inch (about 25%) of silt next, about 1 inch (25%) of clay above that, and about 1/4 inch (about 5%) of organic matter on the top.
2) Drainage. Dig a hole 1 foot square and 1 foot deep and fill that with water. After that water drains away refill the hole with more water and time how long it takes that to drain away. Anything less than 2 hours and your soil drainsâ too quickly and needs more organic matter to slow that drainage down. Anything over 6 hours and the soil drains too slowly and needs lots of organic matter to speed it up.
3) Tilth. Take a handful of your slightly damp soil and squeeze it tightly. When the pressure is released the soil should hold together in that clump, but when poked with a finger that clump should fall apart.
4) Smell. What does your soil smell like? A pleasant, rich earthy odor? Putrid, offensive, repugnant odor? The more organic matter in your soil the more active the soil bacteria will be and the nicer your soil will smell.
5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy.
Here is a link that might be useful: UI CES
Grains, such as cracked corn, and the Alfalfa pellets can be applied anytime you have time to do that. Now would be a good time, while the soil is still warm and the Soil Food Web is still active and can convert what you put down into nutrients the grass can use. Toward the end of October may be getting a bit late up in this area of the world.
Dave may come in and suggest applying these 4 times a year, about the major holidays just as the synthetic fertilizer world suggests, but I find that a once a year application is adequate for me. Feeding the soil more often than that, and providing adequate moisture, simply means the grass grows faster and needs to be cut more often.
If chemical fertilizer cannot keep your lawn green, there might be a chemical imbalance in the soil which restricts the availability of iron to the plants. The soil test should tell you. As an alternative to your local university, Logan Labs in Ohio has been the "go to" lab for soil testing in other lawn forums. There is one lawn forum which specializes in reading Logan Labs reports. One of the members here, morpheusPA, is one of those experts. Whether he would read one here or not, I don't know. The LL test costs $20 and gives more results than other labs' tests which cost much more than that.
Yes, organic materials can be applied any day of the year that is convenient for you. I have what I call the federal holiday schedule. It starts on Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. For those of us in the south, I add Washington's Birthday. I picked those based on watching my lawn green up, remain green, and then go off toward yellow. Also they are very easy to remember. As kimmsr mentioned, his lawn is different. Probably everyone's is different.
Here is a picture of MorpheusPA's lawn the year when he applied 50 pounds of organic fertilizer per 1,000 square feet every weekend...
That picture was taken in July of 2010. Morph will correct me if I got the year wrong on that. His neighbors do not have the same hybrid Kentucky bluegrass that he has, but the real difference is in his highly tuned up soil and, secondarily, the weekly overdose of organics.
With chemical fertilizers you cannot apply in the heat of summer. With organics you can, so you can carry the fertility over through the heat when others cannot. Then all you need is water.
It's clover or some oxalis variant (I'm terrible at weed ID because...well, I don't get any weeds).
If it really bothers you, there are chemical methods of control, but no organic ones other than to cut the grass as tall as you can stand it, and feed well to encourage it to be as thick as possible.
On the up side, clover forms root associations with nitrogen fixing bacteria and helps supply some of the nitrogen your lawn requires. It also encourages bumblebee and honeybee populations by providing plenty of pollen and nectar.
It's not an aggressive weed, and many of us actually don't consider it a weed at all. I'd love some clover, but my lawn simply won't allow it. It won't go nuts unless there's an open area, in which case it'll move to cover it. But encroaching grass can easily outcompete it.
Of all the things you could have, clover is probably the least harmful and, actually, one of the most benign. Plus the flowers are sort of cute in the lawn.
Clover, White Dutch Clover, is beneficial in lawns because it will add Nitrogen to the soil which will feed the lawn. The only reason it is considered a "weed" is because the manufacturers of the plant poisons cannot make on that will not kill it.
When I was growing up having White Dutch Clover in the lawn was considered necessary for a good healthy turf.
I think it's white Dutch clover since it does have white flowers
I'm very pleased with the results so far
this has been the best that my lawn has been in 5 years it looks very healthy and it's the first year I went organic. Once again thanks to all of you
Now my question is how can I make the lawn get thicker how often should I feed it so far I did
Crack corn and alfalfa pellets in spring march and April
And milo granite in May and June.
While I generally answer that with "monthly if you irrigate," there are some considerations.
Corn and alfalfa don't do a great deal to supply nitrogen to the lawn because they don't have a great deal of N in them. But nothing beats corn for soil conditioning!
Soybean meal and Milorganite do a much better job of feeding with 7% and 5% nitrogen respectively.
For us with northern lawns, heavier feeding will be more advantageous in late summer and fall. I start with the heavy drops on August first, about 2 to 3 weeks before night-time temperatures just start to drop for late summer. Then I feed heavily monthly thereafter through October.
Winterization can't be done organically for either of us, but at least we can still use urea (an organic molecule, just generally synthesized these days). Drop that whenever top growth stops at bag rate, or target 1 pound of nitrogen per thousand square feet.
Feeding in fall will encourage density and root strength without touching off too much in the way of excessive top growth.
However, when I was just starting I was dropping stuff like mad--there are really few rules with organics. My top flight year was over 1,300 pounds per thousand square feet, delivering a total of 37 pounds of organic nitrogen. It was an experiment...what I got was an explosively growing lawn of dark forest green that spread into any hole before I really noticed the hole was there.
Well, they have pretty much everything!
One warning--don't ever use whole corn. It sprouts. I even have to remove corn sprouts occasionally from the gardens just from the cracked corn, but it's rare (and amusing).
Cracked corn is an excellent soil conditioner but a lousy feed at 1.65-0.65-0.45 equivalent. It also provides some minor fungal protection. You can use as much as you like, with 60 pounds per thousand not being excessive once your soil is used to accepting organic feedings. Because of the low nitrogen level, it doesn't usually smell when decomposing unless you really overdo it.
Soybean would be a heavy-hitter for nitrogen (it's roughly 7-1-2 if it were listed as a fertilizer) because it's very high in protein. Fifteen pounds per thousand supplies a full pound of nitrogen--and that's what I use four times per year as my base feeding.
If you want to mix it up with alfalfa once or twice a year, great, but don't exceed 20 lbs per thousand square feet at any one time...and no more than twice per year. Above that, the growth hormones actually slow root growth. At or below it, they do help.
Most of the rest of this stuff is comparable to alfalfa in terms of equivalent NPK (about 2-1-2) but doesn't contain growth hormones. It might be a good filler if you got forced into using it, but none of the other items have anything in particular to recommend them.
These days, we synthesize most urea because it's cheap to do it (and getting animals to pee in the bottle is difficult). You can get urea based fertilizers at any big box store in the fertilizer section. It'll list urea on the bag as opposed to another form of nitrogen.
Urea fertilizers sometimes have a slow-release portion. For winterization, avoid that--or take one with a very small amount of slow release nitrogen. You want the N to dump in during the (limited) time period between growth stoppage and dormancy.
I'm from Kansas. From what stores can I buy cracked corn and the Alfalfa pellets?
Thanks Omar80 for posting those pictures. I was planning to do chemical fertilizer on my yard, which was not taken care by previous home owners, so it's in a bad shape. But after reading through post and looking at pictures, I have decided to go through your route or buy Milorganite. Hope to hear soon from someone in this forum.
Falcon--start your own thread and hopefully somebody local to you will be able to provide specific locations.
Mostly, most of us get them from grain mills or feed supply stores in our areas. Tractor Supply around me has a decent selection (but prices aren't as good as the grain mill).
Urea is not acceptable for certified organic, correct. And everything you'll get these days is synthesized in a factory.
We should point out that the urea molecule synthesized in the factory is exactly and precisely identical to the one you produce. There's no chemical difference at all.
You could dilute your own urine if you wish to use as a fertilizer...except that in my case, I'm on two maintenance medications. The impurities in my own urine would be rather extreme, as opposed to the very pure product produced in the factory.
Since the winterization choices exclude grain products and Milorganite, urea's the next best alternative. It's far superior to the mined nitrogen products that are (by definition) in limited supply. Those that aren't mined are synthesized just as urea is.
Urea is not the best of all possible worlds, but it's the best remaining option.
Conflation doesn't work.
Urea, unlike the glyphosates, etc. is not toxic in normal quantities and is, in fact, produced in copious amounts by you and every other mammal. Nature already deals with it easily and has for several hundred million years.
It's a naturally-occurring organic molecule, unlike the above.
Now if you'd like to remove yourself from your high horse and suggest an organic winterizer, that would be nice. Otherwise you're simply trolling and not being helpful in the slightest.
The concept of "winterizing" a lawn or spreading a "winterizer" fertilizer comes from the people that sell synthetic fertilizers, although feeding turf grasses in early fall so the plants can store energy that can be used to grow in early spring is a good idea.
Since one of the basics of organic growing is to make the soil into a good healthy soil that will grow strong and healthy plants that is the area one wanting a good lawn should be looking at and synthetics such as Urea do not contribute to a good healthy soil. Urea is known to adversely affect soil bacteria as well as the other members of the Soil Food Web.
If the soil has an active Soil Food Web any of the grains as a meal, Alfalfa meal, etc. will be just fine as an early fall food for the soil. If the soil does not yet have an active Soil Food Web the same materials will aid in making that happen.

Family Values And The Regulation Of Labor
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Flexible labor markets require geographically mobile workers to be efficient. Otherwise, firms can take advantage of the immobility of workers and extract monopsony rents. In cultures with strong family ties, moving away from home is costly. Thus, individuals with strong family ties rationally choose regulated labor markets to avoid moving and limiting the monopsony power of firms, even though regulation generates lower employment and income. Empirically, the authors do find that individuals who inherit stronger family ties are less mobile, have lower wages, are less often employed and support more stringent labor market regulations.

Comments about 'Japan 787 probe finds thermal runaway in battery'

The real problem with the Boeing 787 -- everything was outsourced.

Lithium Ion batteries are known to have thermal runaway. Given this, and given that this is an airplane where hundreds of lives are at stake, I am wondering why this kind of battery was used.
- 6:39 a.m. Feb. 6, 2013

Here is a possible fix,
impliment a system to monitor the temperature of the battery which will cool the bettery in the event of thermal runaway.
make the battery so that it is in several pieces, each separated thermally from the other pieces and surroundings, so that if one piece suffers thermal runaway, that piece doesn't affect the others.
impliment both suggestions above, because two lines of defense are better than one. The possibility always exists that one line of defense may fail.
Another possibility is utilize a different type of battery.
In airplane designs there isn't a lot of extra space. It may be difficult to impliment any of these suggestions without a major redesign of a lot of other stuff, lets hope not.
It was either our head of transportation or the FAA that said he would not let this problem keep him from flying on a 787. When he said that I remember thinking that was dumb. Then the 787 was grounded. My point is when things like this happen, use your own head, use your own logic, don't be overly trusting.

Bountiful, UT
It's not a Boeing Design,
It's not a Boeing built.
As I've already posted -
It was designed and built by out-sourced suppliers.
Read up on it.
BTW - as a 22 year Boeing Engineer, and having worked on the 787 since the very beginning, we knew that becasue of all the extensive out-sourcing, that this would happen [and will continue to happen for many more years, and for many more problems yet to come].
When Boeing held a contest to "name the plane" back in 2005
The idea was supposed to be "_________liner" - ala, Stratoliner.
Although "DreamLiner" was selected,
We Engineers proposed our own names;
The "one-liner" (aka, the joke)
The End of the Liner
The Soup Liner
The Garbage Liner
Management didn't think we were very funny.

She's a liar and has reached the point of serious overexposure. I can't stand people like her who are unbelievably impressed with themselves. I for one will not be watching the halftime show. Her music makes me want to beat myself into a coma so that I will no longer have to listen to her insufferable wailing.
Ok mini rant over. Good morning, fellow CDANers!ReplyCancel
She is so obnoxious! Ugh.
Good Friday morning my CDAN friends!ReplyCancel
I really doubt anyone thought she couldn't sing. In light of the whole surrogate thing, though, her trying to pass off that she was singing live is an insult. She thinks THAT highly of herself? Puh-lease, gurl. Get over yourself. I won't be watching it OR her. I'm so over her.ReplyCancel
Oh no, please- do go on!!!ReplyCancel
She can sing but my ears do not like it. Plus her lyrics are awful.
Happy Friday everyone! I have the day off today because there's no heat in my office building! I'm gonna pull an Em and watch Thor all day since its freezing cold and snowing.ReplyCancel
Haha ok Single Ladies is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. If I were ever imprisoned and tortured to get information out of me, the capturers could play the first 5 seconds of that song and I would break. Seriously, it's that bad (at least to me).ReplyCancel
I agree with everything enty said. She just came off super desperate is that press conference to prove to everyone she can sing it but what's the point now?
You should have sang it just like that for our President, not for the press.ReplyCancel
She's released WAAAY worse than Single Ladies. If I Was A Boy made my eardrums spontaneously abort.ReplyCancel
I'd rather make Basement Baby more famous than her.ReplyCancel
Enty's point is well taken, and at least, at the inauguration, as far as I'm aware, that is a free public event, so it isn't as though someone stuck with hearing a "canned" performance was being ripped off.
To me, the issue was that what Beyonce did at the inaugural was so indicative of something which goes on all the time at so-called "concerts" for which people DO pay admission–often very highly priced. They pay for what is billed as a "live performance," but get a lip-synched performance instead, and to me, that's a rip-off. Performers who do not care to perform live onstage should not embark on concert tours.ReplyCancel
This post right here says everything I wanted to scream at the tv when I saw this on the news last night. Unfortunately, with as successful as she is, she's not going anywhere anytime soon. I see her career going like Madonna's, only becoming a joke when she's pushing 60 and still trying to act like she's 30. *smh*ReplyCancel
You're forgetting about Party. So so bad!ReplyCancel
@hotchacha its either JLo or Britney.ReplyCancel

The Los Angeles County coroner's office reports that more bodies of deceased residents are going unclaimed than in the past, then cremated at taxpayer expense. Why the increase? Families claim that they simply can't afford funeral expenses.
Funerals Another Victim Of The Recession
LA Cracks Down On Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Los Angeles seems to have a lot of trouble policing commerce-related things. Advertisers put up $100,000 illegal billboards overnight and never have to take them down, and now apparently medical marijuana stores are running rampant. The Los Angeles times says that since the city enacted a moratorium on new dispensaries in 2007, the number has grown from 186 to more than 600.
Help, Audi Fixed My Car And Now The Trunk Fills With Water Whenever It Rains
Andrew brought his car to Audi of Downtown L.A. for routine warranty work, but left with a trunk that overflows whenever it rains. When Andrew complained to the dealership's staff, he was told to take his business elsewhere.
Metrolink Addresses Confusing Wording Regarding Monthly Passes
It looks like someone at Metrolink in Southern California reads The Consumerist, because their communications manager responded today to yesterday's post about some potentially confusing language on their website. He even posted a suggested revision to the language in an attempt to clear it up, and is asking for reader feedback.
SoCal's Metrolink Monthly Pass Doesn't Work The Way You Probably Think
Dillon is in college, and he tried to save money by buying a monthly pass on the Metrolink transit system in Southern California. The problem is that Metrolink does a terrible job of explaining how the monthly pass works, and their own staff gives out incorrect information to customers buying the pass for the first time. Now Dillon faces a $250 citation for fare evasion because it turns out he could only use his pass for the upcoming month.
UPS Coughs Up $50 But Still Hasn't Delivered Your Daughter's Christmas Present
Reader Michael wants to know why it's taking UPS almost a month to ship his daughter's Christmas gift from Los Angeles to Seattle. Michael thinks his package might have been eaten by the snowstorm that broke Seattle a few weeks back, but UPS swears that they have the gift and that this is all a simple matter of "the driver forgot to put it on the truck." Worried that it that it might have been faster for a messenger to walk between Los Angeles and Seattle with his daughter's present, Michael decided to launch an Executive Email Carpet Bomb at UPS executives.
Movers Turns Musicians' New Zealand Adventure Into Fiasco
Ah, New Zealand, the land of kiwis and hobbits. Daniel and his girlfriend went there to set up a studio and get paid to do recording sessions. They're musicians. They hired Morton Van Lines to ship their equipment from LA to NZ, but after over seven months of struggle, they got it, or their money back.Turns out the equipment was shipped to the wrong country and then returned to the USA. Maybe if Morton Van Lines ever returned a phone call or an email it could have been straightened out. But nay. Here's Daniel's story…
AA Lies About Bad Weather To Deny Reader Compensation
Reader S knows his stuff when it comes to his rights as an airline passenger. He was flying on American Airlines (AA) and takeoff was delayed. AA said it was because of thunderstorms in Dallas. He called a friend in Dallas and they said "there isn't a cloud in the sky." AA later revealed the flight was actually delayed because they were waiting for a fax. It's understandable why AA lied. Since this was something they had control over, it meant they owed several things to the delayed passengers. By lying and saying it was due to the weather, they could escape their obligation. The flight finally took off but reader S missed his connection and had to stay overnight in a hotel, a hotel room that American should have paid for. Inside, the letter S executive email carpet bombed after two customer service reps refused to listen to his story on the phone and an online form sent back a robotic received reply with no real results.
Los Angeles To Sue Time Warner Cable For Sucking
Today, the city of Los Angeles plans to give a little gift to Time Warner Cable—a lawsuit! From the LA Times:
L.A. County Tells Taco Trucks To Keep Moving
Peter writes to let us know that taco trucks in Los Angeles county now have to move to a new position every hour: "The county of Los Angeles has enacted some new legislation to prevent taco truck owners from staying in one spot, with penalties of a fine of up to $1000 or jail for failures to comply." Why such a weird law? Because area restaurants say they're stealing away customers. If you like your carne asada from the side of a truck, be prepared to start chasing them down as they circle through L.A. county in a weird Mexican-food carousel.
LA Has 4,000 Illegal Billboards, But City Looks On Helplessly
In 2002, LA banned any new billboards from going up in the city. Since then, an estimated four thousand have been put up by advertising companies who have ignored the law, which obviously the city's billboard inspectors—"a tiny, and some say incredibly inept, group"—have never bothered to enforce.

LAX Terminal Evacuated Due To "Suspicious Comment"
20 Southwest Airlines and 2 U.S. Airways flights were delayed after a LAX terminal was evacuated for two hours due to a "suspicious comment" made by a passenger on SWA Flight 1182 from El Paso. We were unable to find out what exactly the "suspicious comment" was, but UPI suggests that it had something to do with explosives in his luggage. The LAPD bomb squad was called, but no explosives were found.
Best Buy Still Embracing Deceptive In-Store Kiosks
Best Buy still uses a secret internal website to deceive customers, according to the L.A. Times. The website appearing on in-store kiosks resembles Best Buy's official site in every way, except for the prices. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal was surprised to hear that his investigation failed to end Best Buy's bait-and-switch, telling the L.A. Times: "We thought Best Buy had addressed this. That's what they said to us. Apparently that's not the case." A tipster in Virginia also reports the continued existence of the secret website.

Firebrand, The TV Show That's Just Commercials
Firebrand is a new TV show is just 60 minutes of commercials. "CJs" will introduce the ads, interview the stars, and provide banal banter. The show was started by an MTV co-founder, who said, " "We're changing the model again… We took promotion videos no one wanted and ran them." The show runs late-nights on the ION network in LA, the place where all things devoid of substance are born.
As CIGNA Insurance Waffles On Liver Transplant, Girl Dies
CIGNA denied a girl's liver transplant, saying it was "experimental," then changed it's mind after 150 family, friends, and nurses association members protested outside CIGNA headquarters. But the reversal was too late, Natalee Sarkisian, 17, died last night at UCLA medical center. The insurance company had initially agreed to pay for the liver transplant, but then after Natalee developed a lung infection, then got a bone marrow transplant from her brother, delayed, and then denied coverage, the family says. She was in a vegetative state, battling leukemia. In an email sent out shortly before Natalee died, the insurance company wrote, " … CIGNA HealthCare has decided to make an exception in this rare and unusual case and we will provide coverage should she proceed with the requested liver transplant." Score another one for the bean counters.
