LJWorld.com weblogs New Ideas, New Possibilities
Why can't Lawrence and Kansas kids have what Kalamazoo, Michigan students have
A new sports complex, or kids that can go to college?
It is all very strange. Lawrence worries about a sports complex instead of building small areas throughout the city with a football-soccer field, and some inside courts and games. The City Library is going to be in one place, instead of small, branch libraries, which could be throughout the city. The sports complex is being built, perhaps, by cronies of the city council. I don't know that for a fact, but it all sounds very odd and ill-informed to me. And it's being done with very little information coming out to the public.
But we, the public, have to know more about what's going on in much greater detail. Who are the developers? What are they getting paid, now and later? What's the rush for this sports complex? What are their ties, if any, to the City Council?
Meanwhile, this recent article from the New York Times says a great deal for a different approach:
Instead of building sports complexes with questionable links to KU and to large developers, Kalamzoo, Michigan has a different approach entirely: use the money, plus private donations, to send all kids who graduate from high school to college.
Isn't that a better choice for Lawrence?
Or do we not care about people, just centrally located complexes whose financing information we do not have, even at this late date?
There would have to be changes. Ideally, all cities in Kansas would be able to send their graduates to a college or community college of their choice.
Of course, colleges would have to change, but they will have to change anyway. They can't keep on going the way they're going. Students can't afford the debt which college education (and even community college) places upon them. They don't need many of the courses which currently must be taken by all students.
The current chancellor of KU, whom I supported originally, has taken virtually no initiatives in terms of changing the curriculum or putting into effect digital classes at reduced rates. There is virtually no provision for older students to take classes they want to take. Again, there is virtually no support for the tremendous debt that students are taking on.
In my opinion, the Chancellor has to go at this point, to be replaced by someone who is very forward looking and thinking about the future. The Board of Regents also must change. The City Council must be honest with all the people of Lawrence.
People need to look at this article in the New York Times, this video from Edmonton, Alberta, and give their comments. It will be too late two or three years from now.
tange 2 years, 10 months ago
I've wondered what might be accomplished if we somehow were able to channel the resources and energy associated with otherwise fruitless (e.g.) grand stadium events into human development. Perhaps our political process would evolve beyond the foul-ridden, winner-take-all sporting event it has become.
/ rah rah rah hiss boo blah
Jeff Kilgore 2 years, 10 months ago
Lawrence Morgan, you've spoken many wise words here. Why can't KU do what it wishes, however ill-advised while the Lawrence community takes the smaller, more friendly approach? It doesn't have to be either/or.
Not only this, tange, but if KU primarily and Lawrence secondarily don't figure out these problems soon, they may become irrelevant in the way education is dispensed for free. If I were a youngish professor, this new asynchronous education would keep me up at nights. As a 29-year high school teacher, it seems to me that I'd better head back to school!
Carol Bowen 2 years, 10 months ago
I've always wondered how Lawrence could be a college town when we do not emphasize education or intellectual pursuits in general. It's like having a flagship university is just an excuse to play team sports. The top priority of the school board and the city commission seems to be sports. There isn't a store in town that doesn't have a Jayhawk or sell KU apparel. Following teams is great fun, but Lawrence has a tendency to go overboard. I read somewhere that Lawrencians like to play. The writer was right.
Team sports develop a sense of togetherness and loyalty. Team sports leave a lot of people on the benches or at home. Investment in lifetime sports would balance sports as a priority, but would still deemphasize intellectual pusuits.
oldbaldguy 2 years, 10 months ago
thoughtful article. i agree with getting rid of chancellor. why can't we get one who is a little younger and maybe more innovative?

Many foresaw this and increasing numbers have come to view it as inevitable given the blinkered pursuit of Zionist ambitions. It is in fact what Ayatollah Khomeini actually said in that notoriously distorted quote attributed to Ahmadinejad. It is also, by extension, the main reason Iran does not need a nuclear weapon, or even to contemplate attacking Israel. The thing, also to bear in mind, is that buildings can be razed even more quickly than raised.

Very small in comparison to other zoos. It is really more of an animal rescue than zoo. You can walk around the entire zoo in about an hour or less. Low entrance fee.
This is a great regional zoo we go twice a year just to check everything out and see anything new some pretty interesting animals with a local flair whether your local or visiting you should go check out the zoo
You will be lucky to see actual animals, mostly pictures of the animals in the habitats. Save your time and try Bearizona, or out of Africa, both are excellent and well worth it.
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry you did not have the experience you hoped for. As we're a "Zoological Sanctuary" and truly here for the conservation of the animals and education of the community, we do not force our animals to be on display during any set times - for their own happiness, they're allowed to roam...
Another must see in Prescott. Fun, family friendly. Personnel are nice and informative. Water for the kids to play in.
Grand daughter loved it. Its small but a good experience for the little ones. My granddaughter liked the 4H area where she could pet the goats. The animals seemed very happy and willing to entertain.
If we lived in Prescott, we'd get the yearly pass and be here every week! You can get so close to the animals and watch the tiger and bear get fed. My child had a blast and we were there for hours. For very small kids, you may want to find out which animals to avoid after feeding time (dead...
Wow, went to this spot several years ago and went there again last week, it was like two different places. They have grown so much and expanded to a point where it was better than ever.

OMG the animals are so big, cute, adorable, ferocious, and so so cool. Get the year long pass it's cheap!!
This is a zoo made up primarily of native animals plus a few imports and some big feisty cats!
If you go around 9 AM, you will get to see the animals eat and that is lots of fun. This is not only a great place for kids but a great place for adults to meet and stroll around the...

With summer travel on the horizon, there is no better time to take a classic, American road trip. And while this is a right of passage for many travelers, it can also be a costly one. Don't cancel your dreams of hitting the open road this summer if you think you lack the funds. Here are just a few ways this traveler has saved on countless U.S. road trips, making the journey a more affordable vacation.
Don't Be A Lead Foot: If you enjoy tailgating, stopping suddenly and accelerating quickly, you are eating up your gas budget and probably annoying me on the road. An easy way to save on a road trip is simply by being mindful of how you drive. Speeding wastes both gas and money, and thus makes the great American road trip less affordable. It's not a race after all so sit back and watch your driving style save you money.
Pick a Hotel Chain and Stick To It: One of the easiest ways to save on a road trip is simply by sticking with one hotel chain across America. Most U.S. hotel chains offer hotel reward programs where the more often you stay, the more points you acquire to use on free nights. Depending on the length of your road trip, you could score a few extra nights on the road, ones you wouldn't have had if you weren't loyal to one chain or even part of a reward program. Also, U.S. hotel chains tend to wow the road tripper with free amenities. Make sure your chain of choice offers free Wi-Fi and free breakfast so you can save on food and technology.
Join AAA: To join AAA's membership for a year, you can pay as little as $75. The rate includes many services in case of car trouble along with discounts on hotels, restaurants and stores. U.S. hotels often have AAA rates you can either book online or ask for when making a reservation. The price is generally cheaper than the rate advertised for non-members. If you are planning on taking several road trips this year, the investment will pay in the long run when you can get that flat tire changed for free or an extra $20 off your hotel room each night. AAA has an entire list on its website of stores, restaurants and lodging services that offer discounts for members.
Seek Out the Quirky and Free Roadside Attractions: Bored on the road? Rather than shelling out $20 for some museum, do a bit of Internet research to find America's quirky roadside attractions along your route. Surprisingly, there is no charge at the world's largest easel or coffee pot. These are fun stops on the road that won't set you back on your attraction budget when you reach your destination.
Save Your Cents and Use Gas Apps: There are several different apps now you can download to your phone or tablet that will find the cheapest gas along your route. A popular app for this service is Gas Buddy. While it might just seem like a few cents you could be saving, those cents add up, especially with current U.S. gas prices.
Always pack a cooler with drinks: A soda at the gas station can set you back a few dollars each time you make a stop. That trip through the drive-thru window for drinks will also put a dent in your wallet. Before you hit the road, head to your supermarket and buy drinks. You can stock up on snacks too, but drinks are the easiest cost in the food and beverage department you can avoid altogether on your road trip.
The More the Merrier: A U.S. road trip is not just a fine way to avoid the TSA or escalating airline ticket prices. It can also be an extremely affordable way to travel if you are popular. The more people you can convince to join your cross-country adventure, the easier it will be on your wallet. For example, on a recent road trip from Arkansas to New Orleans, I joined forces with a friend and split gas costs. My contribution cost far less than a plane ticket down to Nola would have. Splitting doesn't just benefit the road trip funds in terms of gas, but also with accommodations and food.

New $252 million Petone-Grenada project high priority for Hutt
Relevant offers
Hutt News
For all but those people firmly in the "no more spending on roads, put all the money into public transport" camp, the Petone-Grenada link is stacking up as the Hutt Valley's priority transport project.
With public submissions now being invited on the draft Hutt Corridor Plan, NZ Transport Agency representatives Jenny Chetwynd, Selwyn Blackmore and Jo Draper last week gave a briefing to Hutt councillors on the $252 million development dubbed "P2G".
They explained a key factor to win government funding, since projects from around the country were ranked for priority, was the benefit cost ratio (BCR) essentially the benefits divided by the costs.
The most telling benefits were savings in journey time through a shorter route or less congestion, and to a lesser extent, reductions in crashes.
Any project with a BCR below 1 was considered uneconomic over a 30-year time-frame, "as it's not going to deliver enough benefits to make it worthwhile doing", Ms Draper said.
Petone-Grenada (P2G) has a BCR of 1.8, taking into account the economic benefits of boosting the growth potential of Wellington's Lincolnshire Farm area near Grenada, and Seaview-Gracefield.
For comparison, the BCR of Transmission Gully is about 1.2; for a Melling interchange, 0.5; for the proposed grade separated interchange at State Highway 2 and SH58, 2.
Ms Draper, the project manager for P2G, said the four problems driving the project were congestion on SH1 and SH2; the desire for better access to regional growth hubs; poor East-West connectivity and the snarl-ups caused at the Petone and Ngauranga mergers as traffic from different directions is funnelled into one flow.
On the East-West question, she said SH1 and SH2 were essentially divided by a mountain range.
Since everyone knows when a serious smash or landslip closes the Petone-Ngauranga pinch point, the only alternative routes were the winding and distant SH58, or Akatarawa Rd, which Ms Draper said was so windy that on a recent try of it, "I just gave up".
P2G, she said, had a significant "network resilience" benefit.
In terms of the mergers, other work was being done at Ngauranga.
The problem at the Petone merger was not just the volume of traffic, but the propensity of drivers to jockey for gains by switching lanes, causing braking and a domino hold-up effect.
P2G includes a new, grade-separated (flyover) intersection at Petone, and a previous report has said 12,000 vehicle movements a day could be expected to be removed by P2G from the congested Petone-Ngauranga stretch of SH2.
Other options included upgrading SH58, and improvements to SH1 and SH2 to try to deal with the four problems outlined above.
But Ms Draper told councillors that P2G was the most effective and least expensive solution.
Modelling of anticipated traffic flows between Porirua and Petone by 2026 showed the following journey times for the morning peak and afternoon peak:
Via State Highway 1 32 minutes / 25 min Via SH58/SH2 28 min / 24 min Via a new P2G 25 min / 18 min
Answering questions from Petone Community Board member Tui Lewis and Mayor Ray Wallace, the NZTA representatives confirmed there was no intention to choose a P2G route that went through Korokoro Valley or Belmont Regional Park.
It would be a steep road in places, with a gradient of up to 9.5 (Ngauranga Gorge is 8).
But trucks could manage that gradient and two lanes each way were envisaged to allow passing.
The speed limit may be 70kmh.
As well as savings in congestion/journey times, there was another spin-off environmental benefit from the P2G road.
Mr Blackmore said because there was a "much smaller pot" of money available nationally for cycleways/walkways, investigation/design and construction of the Petone-Ngauranga off-road cycleway may not get funding for years.
It had a good benefit-cost ratio, but other cycleways around New Zealand have a stronger BCR.
However, there were practical and financial benefits from doing P2G, the cycleway and the Beach to Bush (Belmont Regional Park to Esplanade) links at the same time a contiguous approach would get all three across the line, when otherwise the two cycleways/walkways "might not go ahead for years".
Construction of P2G could begin as early as 2015.
The news was not so good for those who wanted early action on a grade-separated intersection at Melling.
Ms Draper said NZTA was aware of congestion problems at Melling, particularly for vehicles turning off SH2 onto the bridge.
But that turning traffic was a relatively small proportion of traffic that flowed north-south, "so the junction as a whole [in BCR terms] doesn't perform that badly".
Ms Draper said modelling had been done.
"I had that peer-reviewed, and then the peer review reviewed, because I didn't believe it myself."
The three checks all showed that overall, in congestion terms, the problem did not push up Melling's BCR to a point where an interchange might get funding.
There were many accidents at Melling, but the accidents are mainly at low speeds, which do not carry a lot of cost.
Councillor Max Shierlaw suggested the irony was that accidents were mainly low speed because the intersection is so congested, so cars do not move quickly through Melling.
In the shorter term, the right-hand turning lane off SH2 could be extended.
NZTA agreed with Hutt City Council general manager Bruce Sherlock that improvements on the city side of the bridge could improve traffic flow that would relieve the risk/congestion on the highway side of the bridge.

BAE Systems SA unveils smart turret
Written by Leon Engelbrecht, Thursday, 10 June 2010
Operated by one person, the overhead remote-controlled turret provides self protection and ground support for light armoured vehicles (LAV), mine-resistant armour protected vehicles and infantry combat vehicles and will be competitively-priced, the company says.
The self-contained turret, as designed, can be fitted with a US Alliant Techsystems M242 Bushmaster 25mm cannon – or similar-sized weapons ranging from 20 to 30mm – as well as an co-axial M240 (FN MAG) machine gun. Armoured bins allow for 1000 7.62x51mm NATO rounds and 260 25x137mm rounds in two magazines of 130 rounds each. In addition,the turret is fitted with four 76mm smoke launchers. Traverse is all-round and elevation is from -10 to +65 degrees.
Mechanical or software-controlled interruptors are available to restrict movement in azimuth in order to create "prohibited zones".
BAE Systems says the turret weighs 800kg of which some half is the weapon and ammunition. On a typical LAV such as those derived from the MOWAG Piranha, the TRT offers a weight saving of 1200kg. It is also a major space-saver, the company avers. The TRT is typically 1100mm high and 1320mm wide. Traverse is at 1.8 rad/s, 103 degrees a second or 3.5 seconds to circle, elevation is 1.5 ad/s or 85 degrees a second. Stabilisation is "better than 0.5 rad/s" while operational on the move while laying accuracy is better than 150 µRad with automatic optical tracking after manual lock-on.
The standard sighting sensor system allows for identification by day at 1000m and by night at 750m in terms of STANAG 4347), while the Vectronics 3042 laser range finder ranges to 5km. A "high performance" suite offers identification by day at 2500m and 1600m at night. The suite's Carl Zeiss laser range finder does so at 12km. In both cases a further commanders' observation sight is available.
The turret was developed by Land Systems SA's Dynamics business – the former IST Dynamics, acquired in September 2008 and the "non-complex" man machine interface or "battle station" can be positioned anywhere in the carrier vehicle. An optional commander's station is available. The fire control system (FCS) includes a fully-integrated ballistic computer, an integrated automatic video auto-tracker, aim-point adjustment based on target speed and distance as well as a continuous electronic zoom combined with a fixed field of vision. Optional is a patent-pending "rapid-target designation" system available to the commander. Further options include the integration of the FCS with onboard command-and-control suites or battle management systems, GPS and navigation means as well as a laser warning and shot detection system. Additional armour protection is also available, BAE Systems product literature adds.

2011 Jaguar XF
Stylish, but needs polishing
Reviewed by
Motor Trend
Introduced in 2008 as a replacement for the aging S-Type, the Jaguar XF has become Jaguar's volume model and has led a styling revolution for the troubled British automaker. Inside and out, the new XF's design has helped to re-establish Jaguar's place among the luxury elite, a position backed up by modern, powerful engines and a finely-tuned chassis.
The XF comes in multiple flavors, from the base model powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 with a healthy 385 horsepower on tap, to the track-inspired XFR, which is motivated by a supercharged version of the 5.0-liter V-8 that delivers a smoking 510 horsepower. All XF engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Primed to win back Jaguar's top-tier luxury pedigree, the XF comes loaded with premium materials and all the latest in electronic aids and entertainment options.
The new Portfolio package for the XF Premium model adds even more luxury touches including contrast stitching, suede headliner, a new wood veneer and deep-pile carpets. The hard-edged XFR comes with enhancements designed to emphasize its sporting intentions.
The Range
Bodystyles: Sedan
Engines: 5.0L V-8, 5.0L supercharged V-8
Transmissions: 6-speed automatic
Models: Base, Premium, Supercharged, XFR
What's New
The XF's 4.2-liter V-8 has been replaced with new direct-injected 5.0-liter V-8s that offer more power. A new high-performance XFR model was added to the top of the range while the Supercharged model bowed out, only to return in late 2010 as a 2011 model with the new 5.0-liter supercharged V-8. A new Portfolio package for the Premium model adds more luxury touches including contrast stitching, suede headliner, a new wood veneer and deep-pile carpets.
The 2011 Jaguar XF is a clear departure from conventional Jaguar styling that boasts a solid mix of classic cues and modern designs that make the car a stand-out in any crowd. A bevy of large, stylish wheels complete the look.
The XF comes with strong luxury credentials including standard leather, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and starting, a premium stereo with satellite radio and auxiliary inputs and heated seats.
Performance & Handling
The 385-horsepower 5.0-liter V-8 is as solid a base engine as you're going to find in the segment where the XF plays. Performance buffs will prefer the 510-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 that powers the XFR, the returning Supercharged model offers a comfortable middle-ground with 470 horsepower. The XF's transmission offers several settings for various surfaces and performance.
Driver and passenger front and side airbags are standard, as are full-length side curtain airbags. Electronic aids include Stability and Traction Control, Corner Braking Control and Emergency Brake Assist.
EPA Fuel Economy
Base, Premium: 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway

First Drive: 2011 Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel S Portfolio
This Oil-Burning Kitty is Impressive -- But Not Available Here

11 Things to Know About the 2016 Jaguar XF
Such was the case on a recent visit to the U.K., when I was able to nick a turbodiesel XF out of Jaguar's press fleet. It's much the same as the XF we know and love stateside, with the exception of the turbodiesel V-6, and of course the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car.
Jaguar's AJ-family 3.0-liter turbodiesel is a modern powerplant in every sense of the term. It boils out 275 horsepower at 4000 rpm, and a notable 443 pounds-feet of torque at just 2000 revs. It makes a reasonable comparison to BMW's mighty 335d inline six diesel.
backs its V-6 diesel with a six-speed ZF automatic transmission with standard Drive mode and Sport Drive mode that is manually shiftable with steering wheel-mounted paddles. The engine is mounted longitudinally to power the rear wheels, uses four valves per cylinder, and meets Euro 5 emissions standards, as tough as anything here. My tester was a topline Portfolio model (including 20-inch Smoked Volans-style wheels), equipped with the "Aero" package, which means a more aggressive front bumper and side sills; and the optional Blind Spot warning system, very handy when driving on a side of the road opposite of what one is used to. All in all, a darn nice machine.
There are no particular indications that this Indigo Blue over Warm Charcoal XF is different from the V-8-powered examples we might find here in North America. The engine fires quickly and easily and settles into a smooth idle, rattling softly as modern automotive diesels do. Calling its acceleration curve "quick" would be an injustice -- it's genuinely fast. It launches hard and pulls especially strong in the mid-range; that's what torque will do for you.
Jaguar claims a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds, and 50-70 mph passing times of 3.2 seconds; we have no quarrel with these numbers. It would be hard to label the engine as revvy (most diesels aren't), but this one doesn't run out of air at 3000 rpm like so many of them. It doesn't have the gravitas of BMW's 3.5-liter diesel, but it's close. The
inline six diesel feels even stronger in the mid-range, and sounds deeper, and huskier than does the Jag. But the latter has all the power you'd ever want for nearly any situation. There's little to any turbo lag; you never have to look at your watch waiting for turbo spool up.
The ZF six-speed is one of the great automatic transmissions in the world; there's a ratio for every occasion; and it always seems to be in the right gear (and if not, it'll identify it and get there quickly). This box is responsive without being harsh, and the paddles are useful when negotiating hilly roads, not so much for better acceleration, but because it's so easy to control the car on downhill stretches by selecting lower gears. Most of the time I dialed up Sport Drive, and left it there. I still find Jaguar's shiny round shifter dial a bit gimmicky; give me a well-gated console shift lever anytime. But some people love it, so fine.
The rest of the XF D driving experience is as we've come to expect from similar gasoline powered-models here, combining a nice ride/handling balance with a solid yet fluid chassis, and responsive, linear steering. The brakes are strong, grip levels high (not that I had too much chance to test the latter, given the wet weather in England and Scotland). The XFR-derived leather seats are supportive yet comfy, and the cruise control with Automatic Speed Limiting worked like a charm. And the leather-trimmed dash panels look and feel terrific.
Plus this car is such a nice size; not too big, but with good room in back, plus a large, usable trunk. If there was any aspect of the diesel XK that strikes me as incongruous it is the engine's sound. Having owned several older Jaguars, my mind's ear associates the brand with the deep thrum of the old XK straight-six, the velvety tune of the 5.3-liter V-12, or the silky rip of today's naturally aspirated and supercharged V-8s. The somewhat nondescript noise out of the exhaust pipes, plus the muted clatter from the engine bay, is not what I expect from a Jag. It's not objectionable, just out of character. Or at least my classic definition of Jaguar character. I sure appreciated the car's relatively miserly fuel consumption, especially considering current buck-fifty-a-quart fuel price levels in the U.K.
This car's combination of rolling stock, aero body bits, and great colors make it an attractive buggy to be sure, and it always elicited positive comment from the locals. Should Jaguar sell the diesel XF here? I'm not sure. Some folks would like it, most wouldn't bother. Its consumption advantage over the naturally aspirated V-8 isn't so huge that at current fuel prices, there would be any big advantage in going this route. But no matter. It's a solid bit of kit, and something that the engineering-savvy founders of Jaguar, such as Sir William Lyons and engineering chieftain William Heynes, would be impressed with.

Gems, Gold, and Resources are crucial for successful Clash of Clans gameplay and there is no better unit for stealing all those treasures then sneaky Goblins! Welcome to the tiny Goblin tutorial that will teach you how to bargain and loot in Clash of Clans!When we are speaking about good bargain check this clash of clans cheats tool and let's go Goblins!
Goblins are in fact the fourth unit that you will unlock in a game and that means that they are made for early levels of gameplay. That is right, but Goblins can be enormously effective in some precise tasks like raiding and gathering resources, even in the advanced levels. They are the fastest units in the Clash of Clans and that makes them fit for activating traps and interfere with defenses. They favor gold, Gems and other treasures, therefore their preferred target are resource buildings and they deals double damage to those buildings. Goblins will run and attack any supply building on a map ignoring all fortifications and units.
To prevent their early death, you can deploy some defencive units like Giants or P.E.K.K.A for soaking damage from Towers.
Barbarians are also good choice for early levels. Once they extinguish all resource buildings, they will start to attack nearby structures. There are many roles that Goblins may play within clash of Clans, but the most important one is a role of typical thief, they are ideal for stealing funds. It is good to deploy Wall breakers first to take down Walls fast, and then use Barbarians or Giants to divert defensive Towers and finally set up your Goblins.
There is also an substitute to Wall breakers, you can use Jump Spell instead. With Jump Spell your Goblins will jump over Walls and steal any reserves placed inside! The greatest weakness or greatest peril for Goblins is splash damaging Towers like Mortars or Wizard Towers. To overcome this send your Goblins in distinct waves and that will avert them to be killed in one shoot. You can once more use Giants or Barbarians for fruitful disruption. You can also use Goblins after you demolished all defenses.

Good spinach artichoke dip recipe - with minor tweaking!! Beans (vs. mayo) truly prevents separation!
Light version Artichoke Spinach Dip… more flavorful and less heavy/greasy than traditional spinach artichoke dips. I read other reviews and made the following changes: I didn't blanch the herbs... just chop them and throw them in. Used whole can of beans (if you process long enough the bean mixture will not be grainy), used 3 cloves garlic, extra cayenne, used chicken stock instead of broth, 2 cans of artichokes, extra mozzarella & parmesan in mix, whole block of Neufchatel, baked at 425 for 25 mins, then added a little parm to the top and broiled for a few minutes until browned. Better when served closer to room temperature as opposed to piping hot out of the oven...when served closer to room temperature the flavors have time to develop.

Herijuana IBL slow to germinate?
Posted by midnight-toker - 23 minutes ago -Good morning everybody,
I recently received the indica mix from Sannie and everything has popped except the Herijuana.
My only problem so far was one KO kush came up without petioles, but otherwise the Jackberry and KO kush seem very vigorous.
All of the sprouts are above ground today, but the 4 herijuana are still not showing. I uncovered them a little bit to see if they were coming up but they don't look like they're doing much yet. I think I could see that one of them cracked, at least.
Please don't take this as a complaint, I'm more than happy with my order and have the snowqueen x heri in case the herijuana IBL don't germ. I am just wondering because I will have some extra room if the herijuana don't come up.
Are the heri just slow to germ? Launch Full Topic
Sugar Punch NFT Scrog
Posted by jetdro - Today, 01:01 PM -This is the set up for this grow
1.2 m green quebe tent
T5 for Early veg
400w Hps Ajust-a-wing
5" fan and filter + 8" desk fan, passive intake
Small Nft tank
Homemade Scrog-net 1m
I'll be using GHE Grow Bloom Micro and Ripen, Cal-mag, Silica and Cane Sugar/molasses
The plants are Sannie's Sugar Punch & Bomb seeds Berrybomb (backup plant) both Fem seeds
The original plan was to do a 3 plant nft grow with no scrog but the Sugar punch dominated the plant in the centre and the berrybomb seems to be a lot more indica than the last one I had. I had a re-think. If you seen my soliloqueen/berrybomb nft grow you will know what i'm doing next push berrybomb out to the side and give sugar punch as much room as it needs. I'll do a full nutrent change every week and top up mid week with half strength nutrients. I've still to find the sweet spot for sugar punch. The EC is 0.8 Ph 6.1 I'll not go above EC 1.2 -1.4 Max and see how things develope?
I just dropped the Scrog net on sugar punch, just using LST done the trick, I did not monster crop anything as she was so bendy and plyable ( just as i like me women...lol....) She should fill the net up nicely over the next two weeks and i'll just let berrybomb do it's thing on the side. Sugar punch is the one I'm interested in.
Pictures will say more a bit more. Anything i've forgot to say or any question just fire away

Joan argues that the next step should be the taking of Paris, and despite resistance from the Chancellor of France, the King approves. Joan and the army approach the walls of Paris but are pulled back by the King's order. Shortly thereafter he disbands the army.
On the 24th of May, Joan and six hundred cavalry attempt to free Compiegne from the Duke of Burgundy. They fight against the Burgundians at Marguy while English reinforcements approach. The enemy surrounds Joan and her small personal guard. Most of the guard falls wounded, with the Dwarf and the Paladin fighting to their deaths. The English capture Joan of Arc.
Joan's capture by the English ends her military career. Her desire to take Paris thwarted, she tries to raise interest in the taking of Burgundian lands that, although French, sympathize with the English. Twain...

A teacher's 2-foot-long ball python that escaped a week ago from his glass tank in a biology classroom at a high school east of Seattle has been found.
A teacher's 2-foot-long ball python that escaped a week ago from his glass tank in a biology classroom at a high school east of Seattle has been found.
KOMO-TV reports that school district officials in Issaquah say the snake named Hamilton was located Tuesday morning in the same classroom where he vanished. He was last seen on Sept. 10.
As the City of Issaquah tweets, "He's ssssssafe and sound at school."
Issaquah High School Principal Andrea McCormick calls him "a tricky little snake" and says he's believed to have escaped on his own.

Get the latest news from the Blues delivered for FREE to your inbox.
Leon Cort looked to have won the game for newly-promoted Charlton Athletic when he nodded home from close range with just eight minutes remaining. But with the game entering its fourth minute of added-on time, Zigic collected Marlon King's pass and executed a clinical finish to send the home fans into raptures.
Both teams went at it hammer and tong with numerous chances created for both teams providing an entertaining match for the crowd as they basked in the mid-August sunshine.
Jack Butland made his competitive debut for Blues - just three days after the 19-year-old goalkeeper picked up his first senior England cap - as the only change from the side that beat Barnet in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday evening.
There was an eventful opening with opportunities for both teams. Within two minutes Peter Lovenkrands turned and shot inside the area but the effort lacked power and was easily claimed by Ben Hamer, whilst at the other end Johnnie Jackson twice went close. First the Addicks skipper saw his free-kick deflect off the Blues wall and drift narrowly over the bar and then he headed over from a corner.
The visitors looked dangerous going forward with the pace of Bradley Wright-Phillips causing the home defence some problems. The former England under-20 international's shot from a narrow angle was smothered by Butland. Moments later he looked to have the beating of Steven Caldwell in a race towards the Blues goal but the skipper did magnificently well to stick out a toe and direct the ball back to his keeper.
Charlton wasted a golden opportunity to gain the lead as Jackson's dangerous cross struck the unmarked Yann Kermorgant just five yards out and looped over the bar with the Frenchman knowing very little about it. Blues responded well with Lovenkrands firing in a half-volley which bounced just wide, after the Danish striker had been teed up by King inside the area, and a Darren Ambrose free-kick which had plenty of power but went straight at Hamer.
The next chance went Charlton's way as Bradley Pritchard's right-wing cross was headed over by the well-placed Wright-Phillips. The game continued to swing from end to end with the dangerous Lovenkrands twisting and turning on the right side of the area but his eventual shot never looked like troubling Hamer.
Blues' goal was leading a slightly charmed life as Chris Powell's charges engineered another good opportunity but Jackson headed over from 10 yards after Rhoys Wiggins' overlapping run and cross.
Ravel Morrison came to life with an eye-catching run that ended with his low shot fizzing only a yard or so wide of the target. And just before the break Burke's corner found the head of King inside the area but the Blues striker was blinded by the sun and was unable to make a good contact on the ball.
Blues made an up-tempo start to the second half with Chris Burke firing in a shot from distance and then King seeing his effort blocked after a delicious through ball from Morrison.
Charlton came back into it again and put some severe pressure on the Blues backline but the hosts' rearguard stood firm and didn't allow their opponents a view of the goal. Clark's response was to make a double substitution with Will Packwood and Morrison making way for Jonathan Spector and Nathan Redmond. Despite his premature withdrawal, teenager Packwood can be rightly pleased with his first appearance at this level of football and his manager was keen to drum in that fact as he applauded the young American off the field.
King was back in the thick of the action again on 66 minutes as he whipped in a shot from the edge of the area which whizzed goalwards but was comfortably collected by Hamer.
A fine opportunity fell to Redmond on the edge of the six-yard box to the left of goal but the winger rushed his shot somewhat and sliced the ball just wide of the near post. And it proved costly as with just eight minutes left Charlton went in front.
A trio of headers from Jordan Cook, Kermorgant and finally Cort ended with the centre-half nodding the ball over the line from just a couple of yards out.
There may be a new manager in the home dug-out but out on the pitch the team showed the same never-say-die spirit that was so often evident last season and grabbed a deserved point courtesy of super sub Zigic. The big Serbian had only been on the pitch for nine minutes but displayed no signs of rustiness as he picked up the ball 12 yards out and found the bottom corner with a tremendous low shot.
It was fantastic end to a thoroughly entertaining contest and will put Blues in good heart for Tuesday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday as the busy Championship season continues in earnest.
