on stems, Ive been training in the 30mm lately and gotten used to it, but I had to adjust my fork SR to suit, a little bit stiffer psi, probably round about 10psi, I went back for a trial run on the 10mm no dkff uphill, but was out of control back down hill, I did not change my fork pressure, so shorter stem less, SR just a warning, your weight is less over the fork so for grip and control a little less spring rate will cure this, this is how sensitive to setup it is, know your bike is my advice, not the forums!

Added a comment about product review 2015 Test Sessions: Mondraker Foxy Carbon RR 2/12/2015 8:20 PM
In fairness, I do think Mondraker takes this a little too far, and one thing the "Forward Geometry" concept doesn't take into account (at all) is that some people's local trails have much smaller radius corners than in the Alps for example, so while the concept sounds good to them, you end up with a bike that won't rail tighter corners particularly well. Extending the front center and shortening the stem corrects the reach and creates a bike that works well in some scenarios, but it also extends the wheelbase by ludicrous amounts.
If you extrapolate from this, you can
I disagree with this, they havent taken it too far, people are just not ready, if you want to be married to your sister and or mother then all bikes should be the same, weird, but thats the bike industry, people wnt the dame thing all the time het ask for new stuff that pushes the envelope then in reality, they still eant theyre mother, nkt the hot sexy chick thats out of theyre league, because they cant handle her.
saying that these bikes ride differentky and imo arent hard to adjust to, with an open mind and without comparing and expecting the same old results, Ive put average riders on these bikes and on tight narly trails only to be blown away by how much better they ride compared to theyre current rigs for example, now that being said both were mediums and while the wheel bases were much longer than what they are used to, its no where are extreme as an XL, even for a gievn size of rider that requires some commitment and skill level at that length, again saying that my Summun is longer and yet have no issues on any DH track tight or fast, Ive fohnd the exact opposite to be true that the bikes corner very well, again comparing a Dune in large not an XL Foxy, so I must be missing something or Im doing some different, I will say zi set my bike up with an opent mind snd not based on anything my previous bike setup demanded! if you want short then this is not the ike for you, bjt its not the bikes fault if you cant scream corners on this thing,the onky other thing I can suggest is I run full Rockshox, not Fox so whether the fox tunes on that form and shock are affecting consistency Im not sure, but suspension plays a big part and imo Fox often does mot get this right, I hated the 34 on my Dune and Float X! Pike/Monarch plus, would like to try a new 36 though, Ive even riddenbase Pike and Monarch RC and its way better performing than top specc Fox on these bikes, agin my experience, not anti Fox, run 40s/RC4 and as said interested in new 36 manily as I am a 20mm fan, no one will convince me 15mm is better, Ive tried and tried and miss 20mm to bitz, biggest sham in the last few years, only thing its helped is XC weanies get a real axle std!
also wonder what a built up specc would do, eg some carbon hopes, XTs, etc

I ride a large Dune with both the 30 mm stem and my preffered 10mm stem with a high stack, I dont have any of the issues u talk about, even in tight it slays corners, so I, not sure what you guys are doing, mine carves up stuff other bikes in same size at 3" WB shorter with 50mm stems struggled in, and as for jumping I never get kicked, I thought my Ibis HD was a great jumper this thing I can tackle jumps like my DH bike, Id assume you are running way to fast a rebound for the Zero Loss suspension system also am not a fan of Fox air shocks, the RS Monarch or XF shocks are way better on this platform ime, I have ridden them back to back, the Mondraker specc of brakes and shocks is a weakness, buy frame only imo, build it properly. Set it up right, not like other bikes and then it will come alive.

"Environmental justice" seeks to integrate civil rights concerns with environmental regulation. However, the idea is ill-defined, and much of the research purporting to show racial bias in environmental regulation is slipshod or superficial. A new report from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights adds to the confusion and misses real opportunities to analyze the distributional effects of regulation on low-income and minority communities.
With the release of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights report on "environmental justice," Not in My Backyard, the marriage of the civil rights movement and the environmental movement has been fully consummated.[1] Ostensibly concerned with the implementation of a 1994 Executive Order directing federal agencies to incorporate environmental justice in their regulatory and permitting activities, Not in My Backyard goes well beyond a mere review of agency procedures to lay out a general theory of pervasive racial motivation behind siting decisions for industrial facilities that have potentially harmful environmental effects on local populations.
It is tempting to discount any report from the famously fractious and politicized U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, whose dysfunctions are highlighted in a recent General Accounting Office review.[2] Yet the report is helpful in laying bare both the premises of environmental justice as well as the radical expansions of administrative and regulatory law its advocates seek. As such, Not in My Backyard is helpful for its directness.
An Unlikely Marriage
The incorporation of civil rights into environmental activism addresses a major political weakness of environmentalism, namely, the perception that it is an enthusiasm chiefly of the wealthy elite.[3] Certainly this was the opinion of civil rights leaders at the time of the first Earth Day in 1970, when many voiced strong opposition to the rise of environmentalism as a prominent domestic issue. Richard Hatcher, the black mayor of Gary, Indiana, remarked: "The nation's concern for the environment has done what George Wallace was unable to do–distract the nation from the human problems of black and brown Americans."[4] Whitney Young of the National Urban League was equally distressed: "The war on pollution is one that should be waged after the war on poverty is won. Common sense calls for reasonable national priorities and not for inventing new causes whose main appeal seems to be in their potential for copping out and ignoring the most dangerous and pressing of our problems."[5]
It was perhaps inevitable, though, that the civil rights movement and the environmental movement would converge, given that some leaders among the new wave of environmental activism that arose in the late 1960s modeled themselves explicitly on the civil rights movement of the 1950s and early 1960s.[6] The distributional effects of environmental regulation are a very legitimate concern; land use regulations that are variously described as "exclusionary zoning" and "redlining" are valid examples of abusive regulation that disproportionately constricts the choices and opportunities of low-income households. In practice, however, the amalgam of politicized civil rights groups and politicized environmentalists often summons the worst reflexes of both movements, combining frivolous charges of racism along with unfounded environmental scares. (It is not unusual to hear industrial siting decisions near minority communities labeled "genocide.") For much of the civil rights movement, it is always the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma; for much of the environmental movement, the Cuyahoga River is always burning. Christopher Foreman of the Brookings Institution, author of the best dispassionate study of the issue, notes that "the flexible locution 'environmental justice' is inherently provocative and was intended to be so."[7]
It is not clear which of the two movements has been degraded the most by this unlikely marriage. The environmental justice movement appears to be neither a public health enthusiasm–as is much of contemporary environmentalism–nor a traditional civil-rights agitation aiming at the vestiges of deliberate discrimination. Its main goals seem to be the incongruous combination of "grassroots empowerment" along with more aggressive administrative review processes at the federal level. The spirit of radical egalitarianism can be seen as the core motivating principle behind much of the agitation for environmental justice.[8] As such, environmental justice comes to sight as a repackaging of many long-discredited and rejected ideas. But in its current form the environmental justice movement does a disservice to serious examination of the health and environmental risks facing low-income and minority households.
Distinguishing Real Issues from Demagoguery
Environmental justice, like many popular concepts such as "sustainable development" or the "precautionary principle," has come to be defined and understood by the extremes rather than through a common sense view.[9] The idea of environmental justice has been implicit in American law and policy for a very long time. It has never been right to dump your trash in your neighbor's yard or foul the downstream waters of a common watercourse; common law based on well-developed doctrines of nuisance have supplied protection and remedies against these kinds of environmental abuse, with some notable instances occurring as far back as the nineteenth century.
Complex problems of multiple sources of either uncertain risk or diffused harm to common pool resources such as urban air, for example, are thought not easily manageable through common-law remedies, so a regulatory system has developed to cope with this large class of issues. Although regulatory permit decisions are still susceptible to legal challenge, the administrative permit system circumvents what would surely be an unwieldy mess if adjudicated though countless common-law actions.
The nub of environmental justice is whether classic LULUs (locally undesirable land uses, that is, landfills, chemicals plants and refineries, toxic waste dumps, and so forth) are sited disproportionately and deliberately near minorities, and whether this possibility is taken into account in the permit review process for siting new facilities. At the heart of most environmental permit reviews today is conformity with technical pollution prevention standards or mitigation of local effects. Even though Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act outlaws discrimination "under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance," the demographics of the local area have not typically been a factor in the permit process.
President Bill Clinton's 1993 Executive Order 12898 requires that "each federal agency shall make achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low income populations in the United States." The executive order did not attempt to give substantive definition or policy guidance for environmental justice, but it did create an interagency working group to study the topic and issue policy strategies. The Civil Rights Commission report is ostensibly reviewing the outcome of that effort.
Before very long, Not in My Backyard makes clear that its dominant purpose is to provide a tonic for the racial grievance industry. The report credulously conveys the findings of dubious studies purporting to establish disproportionate racial impact in environmental siting decisions, while summarily dismissing contrary evidence. The report is not merely unbalanced; it is unhinged. This can best be seen in its handling of one of the marquee environmental justice disputes of the last decade: the Shintech Corporation's proposal to build a $700 million poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) plastic plant in St. James Parish, Louisiana, in the mid-1990s. This jurisdiction of Louisiana is predominantly black and has a high unemployment rate. Community leaders and the local chapter of the NAACP supported the Shintech plant. National environmental groups, however, decided to make the plant a test case for environmental justice agitation, which makes hash of the theme that environmental justice seeks local participation and empowerment. (One of the national groups that sought to derail Shintech was Greenpeace, whose stated goal is the banning of PVC; their motives in this episode seem less than sincere.)
The case against the Shintech plant, which would have been built to the latest EPA technical specifications for pollution abatement, was based chiefly on the fact that residents of St. James Parish were exposed to seventeen times as much pollution as the average Louisiana resident (though this fact, based on a simple redaction of the Toxics Release Inventory, does not tell us anything about whether the population of the parish experienced a disproportionately higher risk to health). Heeding the petitions of the national groups opposed to the siting of the plant, the EPA dithered so long in reviewing the matter that Shintech decided to build in Iberville Parish instead. Iberville Parish is a predominantly white, middle-class community.[10] (Among other things St. James Parish lost when Shintech switched sites was $5.8 million for its local public school system.)
The Civil Rights Commission report found it sinister that Shintech's operating costs would be lower in Iberville Parish than St. James Parish–because Iberville was closer to raw material suppliers–and reached the following conclusion: "After Shintech relocated the plant to a more practical location, the move seemed to confirm suspicions that race played a role in the company's original decision to construct the facility in St. James Parish, a minority community already overburdened with environmental pollutants."[11] Aside from the appalling and unfounded charge that racism must be the explanation for Shintech's site selection (besides, if Shintech's executives were racists, surely they could have found another black community to target), this conclusion betrays complete ignorance of site selection decision-making. Most major corporations have a site selection decision matrix of dozens of variables (Intel's site selection matrix for a chip plant has over one hundred), and the lowest cost site is often not the determining variable. If it were, low-cost southern states like Mississippi and Alabama would be booming, and no one would build anything in California.
The Shintech case is typical of the miscarriage of environmental justice. Beyond the spectacular anecdotal cases like Shintech, what evidence exists of disproportionate minority exposure to the siting of LULUs? Most of the evidence Not in My Backyard cites comes from partisan advocacy groups or studies whose serious methodological deficiencies are not acknowledged. The one disinterested piece of research cited in Not in My Backyard is a 1983 General Accounting Office study that found hazardous waste sites to be disproportionately sited near low-income communities.[12] But the report ignores entirely a 1995 GAO study that came to the opposite conclusion.[13] (Also, the 1983 GAO study was limited to just eight states.) "Indeed, once contrary findings and thoughtful criticisms are taken adequately into account," Christopher Foreman observes, "even a reasonably generous reading of the foundational empirical research alleging environmental inequity along racial lines must leave room for profound skepticism regarding the reported results."[14] Not in My Backyard shows neither skepticism nor restraint in its presentation of research. (Foreman's work and his testimony to the commission are dismissed in a footnote.)
A number of complex factors make it difficult to get at the distributional effects of siting decisions. Common sense will suggest that sites near low-income neighborhoods will sometimes be chosen because land is cheap; in other cases, low-income people will move near a facility for the same reason. Two additional threshold questions must be considered. First, is there any general evidence that minorities and low-income people experience higher rates of exposure to environmental health risks? Second, does proximity to a state-of-the-art waste or industrial facility entail a significant environmental risk to nearby residents?
Not in My Backyard recommends in several places that the EPA and other government agencies break out data on exposure to environmental hazards according to race and income. There is one recent national data series, unmentioned in Not in My Backyard, that does this: the Centers for Disease Control's National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals.[15] Now in its second year, the National Report tracks levels of 116 chemicals and heavy metals in human blood and urine, and breaks out the data according to race. In some cases, such as blood lead and phthalates, blacks and Hispanics have higher levels than whites; in other cases, such as cadmium and some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), blacks and Hispanics have lower levels than whites. (In a few cases, such as cesium, the level detected in whites is twice as high as in blacks or Hispanics.) In still other cases, such as mercury, there is little difference between races. In sum, at the general level there is no evidence in the CDC data that racial minorities experience higher exposure to environmental chemicals than whites.
It is important to note that while we lack thresholds or benchmarks of health risk for many chemicals and metals that the CDC tracks, in no case where a health benchmark does exist does the CDC data find any racial group approaching the threshold of harm. The chief value of the CDC's effort is providing physicians with a reference range so that they can determine whether people have been exposed to higher levels than those found in the general population. The CDC adds, "It is unknown whether differences between ages or races/ethnicities represent differences in exposure, body-size relationships, or metabolism." And even Not in My Backyard acknowledges that "there is inadequate literature on the relationship between environmental factors and health status."[16]
The CDC does make special note of a study that found higher levels of some environmental chemicals correlated with low incomes.[17] But a correlation with income is a very different matter than race, and opens on to correlations between low incomes and poor health outcomes on a broad range of risk measures beyond environmental exposures. Christopher Foreman comments: "Environmental justice proponents generally eschew personal behavior (and necessary changes in it) as a primary variable in the health of low-income and minority communities. . . . Telling neighborhood residents that an unfamiliar and unwanted company is fouling the local air or water, and perhaps threatening their children, sets the stage for effective community protest even when the actual health risks as stake are negligible. But reminding residents that they consume too many calories, or the wrong kinds of food, is likely to appear intrusive, insensitive, or simply beside the point."[18]
The Policy Agenda
The Environmental Protection Agency has been working for several years on guidelines for incorporating environmental justice into regulatory permit programs, but has delayed doing so probably because it sensibly wishes to avoid adopting a policy that would have the practical effect of banning new sites in or near any minority or low-income community. (This would represent the fruition of the facetious term BANANA, which stands for "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere or Near Anyone.") At the root of the entire effort is the attempt to transfer the concept of "disparate impact" in the Civil Rights Act as it applies to employment over to the environment, where it is much less suited. "Disparate impact" has always been the side-door method of establishing a civil rights violation in the absence of any compelling proof of intent to discriminate. If a seemingly race-neutral hiring or siting policy can be shown to be racially disproportionate in its effects, it becomes suspect. Disparate impact is especially problematic when applied to environmental risk because harms are so uncertain or even negligible, as discussed above. In addition, applying disparate impact to site permitting decisions does not take into account the tradeoffs between potential harms and economic benefit from a new facility.
At the present time, deciding whether a site-permit application imposes a discriminatory disparate impact is up to EPA or other permitting agencies. A series of federal court rulings have circumscribed the ability of private parties to bring lawsuits challenging a permit decision based on disparate impact.[19] This is unacceptable to the environmental justice movement and the Civil Rights Commission. Not in My Backyard recommends congressional action to establish a private right of action based on disparate impact, which means that firms that run the gantlet of agency permit processes, which often takes years, could then look forward to having the whole matter reviewed for several more years in court. (For environmental justice advocates, full compliance with state-of-the-art pollution reduction regulations is not sufficient to insulate a party from an environmental justice legal complaint.) Since the prospects for such a bill are dim, the commission implores EPA and other federal agencies to apply disparate impact tests more aggressively.
It is unfortunate that the Civil Rights Commission seeks as its principal policy strategy the expansion of administrative aggression and private litigation, for the title of its report, Not in My Backyard, ironically points in a more plausible direction that the text of the report largely ignores. Only in passing does Not in My Backyard mention the area where much racial division and segregation routinely occurs: zoning and local land-use regulation. The distributional effects of local zoning and other regulations almost certainly affect the well-being of minority and low-income households more than EPA permitting decisions. The Commission on Civil Rights version of Not in My Backyard attributes the difficulty minorities face in finding decent affordable housing to unalloyed racism, and as a remedy proposes more regulation rather than less. Not in My Backyard was, coincidentally, the title of a 1990 report from the Department of Housing and Urban Development about removing regulatory barriers to affordable housing. Scholars across the political spectrum have long understood that regulatory systems favor the organized and powerful over the unorganized less powerful; some environmental justice advocates understand this.
One wonders how seriously and broadly environmental justice advocates really wish to push the idea of disparate impact. There is a mountain of scholarship showing that land use regulations inflate housing prices by as much as 30 percent, which has obvious distributional implications for low-income groups. The rising popularity of next-generation "smart growth" land use policies on a citywide and regional scale presents large issues of distributional impact; entire regional plans might be stopped by court order under a doctrine of private lawsuits based on disparate impact.[20] The same siting considerations that stop or delay industrial plants and waste sites could apply equally well to the proposed routes for light rail transit lines that would run through low-income neighborhoods. (Indeed, there is a Title VI complaint against a proposed light rail system in San Antonio, and in South Carolina rural black legislators are bringing civil rights complaints against smart growth land use proposals.)
A more robust respect for property rights, combined with a revival of common law remedies for environmental harms, would do more to achieve environmental justice, rightly understood, than another large expansion of the regulatory state.[21] This is not even remotely contemplated in Not in My Backyard. It is hard to escape the conclusion that the purpose of Not in My Backyard is, in Christopher Foreman's words, buttressing "selective trolling for governmental and corporate environmental villains" rather than real environmental justice.[22]

As a result, commissioners lack the opportunity to review many of the reports and other products drafted by Commission staff before products are released to the public, which serves to significantly reduce the opportunity for commissioners to help shape a report's findings, recommendations, and policy implications of civil rights issues."

Freas is looking down the road at healthcare reform with some trepidation.
"Our ability to throw off the kinds of margins we need to reinvest are going to be significantly impacted [by healthcare reform]," she says. All of their financial models, including costs around labor, are planning for the levels of reimbursements to decline.
"The 'offset' of the Medicaid expansion doesn't cover the direct cost of providing care," says Freas. With labor being half of the cost structure, she argues, you have to examine it.
For Southwest General, layoffs are a last resort. It evaluates hires with a focus on specialized labor pools that can deliver a high quality of care. It also measure current employees against national benchmarks and targets to operate at a LEAN staffing model.
Hospitals and health systems like Southwest General aren't expecting to 'kill' jobs, but they are uncertain about the future. The twitchy and reactive hospital shares market reflects that.
And although healthcare's job creation rates are still ahead of the rest of the economy, its plateau over the past few months seems to reflect hesitancy about what's coming in November.
"Right now we are trying to guess at what the impact will be," says Freas.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Best Art Museum to Close in the Past Year (2005)
Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art
When the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art closed its doors for the last time in late March, it was the end of a noble experiment that lasted five years. PBICA, as it was known in the alphabet-soup art world, had been a work of love, not to mention considerable cash, for South Florida arts patrons Robert and Mary Montgomery. The lovely old Art Deco movie theater in downtown Lake Worth that was PBICA's home had been a museum before, when it held the collection of J. Patrick Lannan in the 1980s, then again in the 1990s after the Lannan Foundation turned it over to Palm Beach Community College. The Montgomerys, who bought the building from the school, hoped that other support for the museum would materialize once they got it up and running. They were wrong, unfortunately. During its brief, shining moment, however, PBICA presented exhibitions that attracted national attention, including its inaugural venture, "Making Time: Considering Time as a Material in Contemporary Film and Video." Other highlights included the exuberant group show "Brooklyn!" and "The Smiths: Tony, Kiki, Seton," which brought together for the first time the works of three prominent artists from the same family. At least the museum went out with a bang: Its final exhibition, "I Feel Mysterious Today," was a multimedia extravaganza every bit as exciting as its first.

Recently, MMORPG.com Community Manager Michael Bitton had the opportunity to attend the New York Comic Con and play host to some of the biggest names in MMO game development today. The Paragon Studios team was one of those luminaries and they gave a great panel discussion about City of Heroes. Mike has the complete breakdown of all things CoH including a terrific look at Issue 19: Alpha Strike which brings the end-game Incarnate system into the game. Read on!
Soon, the real meat of the panel came into focus: details on the just announced Issue 19: Alpha Strike. Issue 19 will introduce players to the end-game Incarnate system, which allows players to earn a number of different slots that can do all manner of things for a character (forgive the vagueness, they aren't saying much!). The first slot to be introduced is the appropriately named Alpha Slot, and players will earn this slot through a new story arc centered on Ouroboros, where players will meet Mender Ramiel, who wants to fast-track your foreseen ascension to becoming an Incarnate. The developers were still a bit tight-lipped on the process, but they promised that players who earn their Alpha Slot and subsequently whatever sort of upgrades that can be placed in it will be significantly more powerful.

Adequate Stylus
This review is from: IOGEAR GSTY103 TOUCH POINT STYLUS
Pros: They are pretty cheap as a packaged deal
Cons: They are so-so responsive and they wear out pretty quick if used considerably. I think I averaged about a week a stylus until its performance diminished.
Other Thoughts: Compared to others like this one (targus, rocketfish, belkin)-it performs with same result. Most of these low end cheap stylus pens rarely are useful beyond a 2 week use.

Poor quality
This review is from: IOGEAR GSTY103 TOUCH POINT STYLUS
Pros: You get 3 of them for $15
Cons: They are all but useless. You have to push hard for them to respond. Having to push harder flattens out the surface area of the tip to the point where you would be better off just using your finger.
Other Thoughts: I would suggest looking for a different product. This one will only drive you nuts and the price point does not justify the headache.

I buy what I can get, sometimes in tubs, sometimes loose and sometimes in bags but nearly always with the plastic strings. It's a simple matter to cut off the strings and put them in the assorted holders I use to hang them up safely for the birds.
Just need to educate people to do it.
I grow mine in pots and take them in for winter, either in the pots or lifted and wrapped in paper. They don't like to be frozen.
This year I discovered that they'd made babies in one pot which is permanently placed on a manhole in a sheltered spot facing south and they have grown and flowered this year - but then last winter was exceptional and we had no real frosts, certainly not more than 2 or 3 degrees even in the exposed north facing parts of the garden..
As long as you're moving before the winter frosts arrive, they should be fine if you water their roots thoroughly and leave it to soak in at least an hour before digging them up. Once in their bags, tie up the tops of the bag as much as possible to reduce water loss to air and also to keep the roots form drying out. If it stays warm and dry, trickle in some extra water for them but don't drown them. Keep them out of the wind till you're ready to plant.
Why not just pick a colour you like and then research plants that fit the bill - although I think blues are difficult to mix but delphiniums would go with your blue salvias as they have several shades of blue available or mix blue and white for a fresh look. Remember also to contrast foliage shapes and sizes.
As for designing it, get out several sheets of paper and some crayons or water colours then experiment with formal and informal lines and shapes. For example, two diagonal lines across the middle to give 4 blocks of colour or shape; scalloped shapes drawn along the edge and the middle filled with something tall/spiky/airy/frothy according to taste or a bird bath or sculpture or an obelisk; concentric lines of planting working in from the edge to the middle and so on.
Cherry, it sounds to me as though they're starving and thirsty. Work as much well rotted manure and compost as you can into the bed without disturbing their roots then give the plants a 4" mulch of it you can. The worms will work that in for you.
Next spring, give the clematis a generous handful of proper clematis food and a liquid tonic of rose or tomato food. The honeysuckle should be OK with just the mulching. Don't be discouraged. Clematis can take a year or two to settle their roots in before they start performing above ground. They also have different pruning regimes depending on variety. What is yours?
If you want to reduce your workload you need to think about perennials rather than annuals. If you're going for a block of colour such as white, look at achillea ptarmica Pearl, Japanese anemone Honorine Jobert, white roses, white perennial cornflowers (deep purple centres) white Michaelmas daisies, lysimachia clethroides alba, white echniacea, white lavender and so on to give you a good display through the seasons. You can extend it with white flowered hellebores and then white daffs, white crocus, white clamassias, white Dutch iris and white acidanthera for late summer bulbs.
Lots of various shades of grey scudding past at rapid speeds and blustery down here o teh ground. Warm too which is always dodgy with high winds but no damage so far except that my beautiful, glowing rhus typhina dissecta and golden rain tree will probably be completely bare by the end of the day. Trees and shrubs in the far corner are almost bare now but the birch, twisted hazel and bird cherry are still quite green and hanging on.
Been wet too so dog walking has to wait till that part blows over. My next home will definitely have a dog shower and foot bath!
When were they planted, how deep, and what kind of soil do you have - clay, stony, sandy, well drained, moist, acid or alkaline.
I think maybe you're are being impatient Lola. If the've only been in one year they haven't really had time to put on lots of growth. I sugegst you tie or twist in any growth that's long enough so it doesn't get blown about during autumn and winter gales.
Next spring, feed the cleatis with proprietary clematis food which is available in good garden centres and will release nutrients slowly that encourage flowers. For an instant tonic, give all the plants a dose of liquid rose or tomato fertiliser then stand back and admire but keep an eye on new shoots and train them in as they get long enough.
If you like, you can make a zig-zag frame by winding extra wire up and down at 45° between the horizontal wires so that tieing in is easier but do this now or at least before new growth starts in spring. I wouldn't use expandable trellis as honeysuckle and clematis montana are all very vigorous and will soon prove too heavy for it.
45cms spacing isthe correct distance for training wires but you do actually have to intervene with clematis and honeysuckle and train them along the wires. Otherwise you end up with a cat's cradle. Just putting up a mesh won't help and may make it look worse as it'll be more difficult for you to manipulate stems.
If you really must, add extra lines of wire between the ones you already have and then in spring, cut the honeysuckle back so you can train new growtha s you want it. Leave the clematis till after it has flwoered as this variety flowers on old wood then cut back as much as you need in order to tidy it up.
Give all of them a good feed in spring when new growth starts and they should do well but remember you need to referee the new growth on a regular basis.

Most OBs are cool with helping you with stuff like that. Are you seeing a therapist? It may help to give your therapist permission to discuss your situation with your OB. Or perhaps your therapist could write the note.
Does your husband want to be home? I'm surprised you contacted your husband's employer instead of him.
Its sounds like you have a history of depression and are concerned about PPD and need support from hubby after to make sure you and baby are ok. I think you should stess to your doctor these issues, they may not label it as "high risk" but they should have no problem writing a note explaining why its benaficial to you and baby for the extra support. I have worked in doctors offices and they are very nice about handling requests like this, just be honest with them, they want what is best for you and baby. As for if it will work that is a whole other story, my dealings with the army was not always family focused. Good luck

I agree with this statement. Sure they will probably write the letter, but in my experience it probably won't do you much good. My husband is Air Force and he never deploys but he teaches and is gone to field all the time. They don't care how pregnant I am, they don't care how many high risk notes I have, they NEVER have let him come home to help support me during pregnancy. When I am in labor, then and only then, do they allow him to get on a plane to come. I feel lucky enough to have even that option.

I'm confused why they are sending your DH for training when he is leaving the military in June. Or is the whole unit going on a det?
I hate to say this, but I don't think you'll get too far with this. IME military doctors are always a little suspicious of you "trying to screw the system" no matter how reasonable your request is. I had one doctor, before they discovered I was gluten intolerant accuse me of playing the hypochondriac in order to get my DH home from deployment. And I replied,"Um my DH is home working 10 minutes away from here as we speak. I'm here because I'm truly sick."
I doubt your doc will have a problem writing the note, I do agree with some of the other posts in that it may not make a diffrence. The army is still very much under the "if we wanted you to have a family, we would have issued you one" mentatilty. My husband is teaching in MO and we are in CO. Right now he is scheduled to come home one day before my due date and is not able to leave a moment sooner. I'm sorry. My best suggestion is to find alternate help from friends or family. That is what I'm doing as babies never come on schedule. I really hope they work for you rather than against you though! Please feel free to message me if you want to vent or have questions! I've been an army wife for 8 years in May and this is my second baby.
Your OB have em write the letter and turn it in and hope for the best bc the military will do what they want refuses less

WTI because well he gets out soon. I'm not currently dealing with depression but I know how I can get when things get tough, and him being gone for all of this would be super tough. I'm hoping this works out!

This is a good enclosure if the speaker requirements match the enclosure. I had a pair of Infinity Reference that I mounted. The bass response was very bad. Further investigation showed that the Infinity was not a good match as it needed a much larger air space. The fiber fill didn't help either. Overall, a good box. Just make sure that speaker volume requirements match box volume.

Who is most responsible for America's downgrade to AA?

Sort By
- Horace 2011/08/18 02:55:37Other - please postThe American people. What people always forget is that in a democratic society the buck stops with you. People can blame congress, or the banks or big business until the cows come home but first remember that not one of these people would have the mandate to do these things unless every person who voted and every person who didn't gave them that mandate.
- Well American people that are Democrats, vote Democrats into office. And they're the main spenders.
- chgo 2011/08/18 02:32:17Republicansand the Tea party.
S&P; blames Congress directly for threatening to default on its debt and for not including tax revenue to help relieve the debt.:
"[P]eople in the political arena were even talking about a potential default,"said Joydeep Mukherji, senior director at S&P.; "This kind of rhetoric is not common amongst AAA sovereigns."
So, S&P; has confirmed the chorus of default doubters in the GOP, including that contard Ron Paul, was part of what spooked them into downgrading the U.S. credit rating,
Republicans will do all they can to pretend that they never questioned the risk of missing payment obligations, or allowing borrowing authority to lapse.
There's a long list of Republicans either vouchsafing default, or downplaying the consequences of passing the August 2 deadline without raising the debt limit. For example,
Rep. Paul Ryan: "You want to make sure that the bondholder has confidence that the government's going to be able to pay them.... That's what I'm hearing from most people, which is if a bondholder misses a payment for a day or two or three or four what is more important that you're putting the government in a materially better position to be able to pay their bonds later on."

The Balls files: a very bad morning for Volvo's PR men
In February 2006, Gordon Brown's paranoid aides revealed their master plan. How to win over the British public and turn him into Tony Blair's heir apparent. As the Telegraph reveals today, it was codenamed "Project Volvo".
I would hate to be at Volvo's HQ today. Just imagine the gloom:
"Uhm, we've been compared to Gordon Brown."
"…As in, experienced and intelligent?"
Actually, Project Volvo revealed that Brown was "one dimensional", a "dour numbers man", and "an uncomfortable communicator" with an "untidy appearance". Labour's ingenious solution? To present him as "three dimensional", urge him to reveal "passion and compassion" and to show "humour, character and charm". All on the Richard and Judy show. The makeover had to include a "fitness programme" and "wardrobe/hair".
Oh dear.
The results, in case you were wondering, are in this marvellous YouTube video. Warning to Volvo PR men: this will make you squirm.
Update. Volvo have put out the following statement:
Project Volvo – it just shows how out of touch senior politicians were.
Leaked documents labelled Project Volvo, revealed today, that outline a plot to unseat former Prime Minister Tony Blair show just how out of touch with reality senior politicians within the previous government had become with modern Britain. The reason for the name 'Project Volvo', according to reports, relates to Mr Brown's apparent character traits of being 'dependable, robust but ultimately dour'.
Clearly before labelling the plot, Labour politicians of the time hadn't acquainted themselves with the Volvo brand in the last decade with cars like the new S60 and V60 bringing a new dimension to the brand in terms of design and driver appeal.
Peter Rask, Regional President of Volvo Car UK, Ireland and Iceland, said: "If only the Labour party had been like today's Volvos – dynamic, agile and innovative – perhaps the UK economy would have been in a better place than it finds itself today!"

After 10 days off for spring break, the Buffaloes returned to the practice fields on Monday afternoon. The long layoff meant some rust, but head coach Dan Hawkins feels like the team is back in the swing of things. "It was a little better than normal," Hawkins said of Monday's workout, which was conducted in shells. "I called some of these guys and talked to them over the weekend and I told them, 'We need to be ready to go on Monday'.
"It's a correct and review practice but we needed to get something out of it and I think we did. Early on in practice, it was kind of getting back to the basics. With execution we are having a few issues but we are adding more stuff. I thought our effort was really good, though."
To a casual observer at practice it might appear that Brian White has been running with the first-team offense. White and Bernard Jackson have taken the bulk of the snaps behind center this spring.
"I wouldn't really look too much into that," Coach Hawkins said in regards to the quarterback battle. "We are going to end up rotating those guys around this spring. Hopefully James Cox will get his thumb heeled up here and get some reps as well. Today, he didn't do much. That thumb is still kind of bothering him.
Even after spring ball, the coaching staff is not likely to release a depth chart.
"One thing you guys will find out about me, I always talk about contributors," Hawkins said. "Guys always want to know what the two deep is, then the first play of the game, somebody that's not on the two-deep shows up and you are going, 'Is he a starter?' Well, in that personnel group for that play he is a starter.
"So we kind of do things a little differently there. When we get into a game you are going to see four or five guys get action at running back, you are going to see four or five tight ends, you are going to see six or seven wide receivers. The whole depth chart thing to me is probably more applicable when it comes to the offensive line. Even defensively you rotate guys through there."

Helly–Bray theorem en
In probability theory, the Helly–Bray theorem relates the weak convergence of cumulative distribution functions to the convergence of expectations of certain measurable functions. It is named after Eduard Helly and Hubert Evelyn Bray. Let F and F₁, F₂, ... be cumulative distribution functions on the real line. The Helly–Bray theorem states that if Fₙ converges weakly to F, then for each bounded, continuous function g: R → R, where the integrals involved are Riemann–Stieltjes integrals. Note that if X and X₁, X₂, ... are random variables corresponding to these distribution functions, then the Helly–Bray theorem does not imply that E → E, since g(x) = x is not a bounded function. In fact, a stronger and more general theorem holds. Let P and P₁, P₂, ... be probability measures on some set S. Then Pₙ converges weakly to P if and only if for all bounded, continuous and real-valued functions on S. The more general theorem above is sometimes taken as defining weak convergence of measures.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
