Multinational forces participate in field training exercise in Mongolia
August 23, 2012
By Lance Cpl. Matthew Manning, Okinawa Marine Staff
FIVE HILLS TRAINING AREA, Mongolia -- Serving in the military offers many opportunities, including the chance to travel to different countries to train with other nations.
Khaan Quest 2012 participants are experiencing this unique opportunity during the multinational exercise sponsored by U.S. Army Pacific and hosted by the Mongolian Armed Forces. Khaan Quest 2012 is the latest in a continuing series of exercises designed to promote regional peace and security.
Approximately 600 service members from the Mongolian Armed Forces, Alaska Army National Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, Republic of Korea and India are participating in the Field Training Exercise (FTX) portion of Khaan Quest. Japan and Australia are also involved in the FTX, with instructors educating troops from the participating countries.
"The Field Training Exercise concentrates on enhancing the capability of partner nations to prepare for and conduct future peacekeeping operations," said Command Sgt. Maj. Clinton K. Brown II, 297th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade. "We are achieving that objective while bridging international gaps and creating lasting partnerships."
Over seven days, the multinational troops are conducting platoon level training lanes.
"In this FTX, we are conducting many different types of exercises," said Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Capt. Go Yoshiyuki, an instructor at this year's exercise. "We are teaching disarmament, providing security for and conducting a distribution site, counter-improvised explosive device training, checkpoint operation training, as well as mounted and dismounted patrols."
One of the biggest considerations during peacekeeping operations service members need keep in mind is the use of force, according to Yoshiyuki.
"All of your efforts to provide aid can be ruined if you use force during a peacekeeping operation," said U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Alan J. Maria Jr., a platoon sergeant in 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. "If you are setting up a food distribution site and a scenario arises which requires a use of force to defend yourself or others, people may become afraid to approach you for help. This is a difficult concept to grasp for (service members) who are not accustomed to peacekeeping operations."
The Khaan Quest FTX provides the training and exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures for peacekeeping operations between the participating nations.
"This is a great opportunity for service members from various countries to train and learn from each other," said Mongolian Armed Forces 1st Lt. E. Gantumur, an instructor at Khaan Quest. "Personally, I know this exercise will help my soldiers and I in upcoming deployments. The terrain is similar to the areas we will be operating in and we are also learning new techniques for how to effectively complete peace-support operations."
Through the military-to-military exchange, participants hope for continuing opportunities to build upon relationships forged during the exercise.
"I would like to see this exercise continue to grow and more nations to participate," said Yoshiyuki. "Peacekeeping is a very important mission and the more nations able to join in peacekeeping efforts throughout the world, the better."

Author Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series of mystery novels are big sellers. There's about a million of them published at this point and they should have big name recognition around the world. Why, then, is a film adaptation having so much trouble getting a release date?
One for the Money stars Katherine Heigl in the lead role, has already been made, and was originally slated to come out on July 8th of this year. It was recently moved up for release on June 3rd in order to avoid stiff comedic competition from Sony's The Zookeeper and Warner Bros. Horrible Bosses on the weekend of the 8th. Okay, that makes sense I guess. Although I can't imagine One for the Money is going to be as broadly comedic as those two films, there seems like there could be a hefty crossover audience. Release on June 3rd would have pit it against on X-Men: First Class, a bit of counter programming that makes sense. Some people, maybe ladies, maybe people sick of super hero movies, aren't going to allow themselves to be dragged to another X-Men film. A Katherine Heigl as a bail bondswoman pic could be a strong alternative.
Why then, has it now been removed from that date? This is possibly a franchise film. It's something with a built-in fanbase. And yet, Lionsgate keeps waffling. At this point the movie doesn't have a scheduled release at all. What are we to take from this? A Lionsgate rep told Entertainment Weekly, "We just want to find the right home for [the film, and that [date] didn't feel like it." Again? Okay, so what is the new date that does feel right. At this point, I don't think it's wrong to start making assumptions that the quality of the film isn't up to what the studio expected. Has a possible Stephanie Plum franchise stumbled right out of the gate?

Lohse gets his first win of season against Cardinals
Tuesday, August 20, 2013
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Kyle Lohse beat the Cardinals for the first time this season and Sean Halton knocked in a career-high three runs to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat St. Louis 6-3 Tuesday night.
Lohse (9-8) beat the Cardinals in his fourth try this season and improved to 3-5 in nine outings overall against his former team.
Lohse left after six innings with the Brewers leading 6-3. He earned his team-leading 17th quality start, including six in his last seven. He struck out four, walked two and allowed six hits and three runs, two coming on Yadier Molina's two-run homer in the fourth. Molina doubled and scored in the second on Matt Adams' single.
After John Axford and Brandon Kintzler each pitched a scoreless inning, and Jim Henderson pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 22 chances.
Lance Lynn (13-7) got roughed up in the Brewers' five-run fourth, highlighted by Halton's two-run single with the bases loaded.
Milwaukee's first six batters in the frame reached, loading the bases twice with no outs. Scooter Gennett drove in the first run with a single. After Aramis Ramirez singled and Khris Davis reached on Lynn's fielding error, Halton drove them in with a line drive to center that doubled his season RBI total. Logan Schafer followed with an RBI single and Norichika Aoki tacked on the last run with a sacrifice fly.
Halton set a career mark in the fifth with his third RBI of the game. Davis singled, stole second and scored on Halton's grounder into center.
Carlos Beltran singled and scored on Molina's 10th home run of the season.
Adams beat the Brewers defensive shift in the second inning and knocked in Molina with the Cardinals' first run. Adams blooped a single over the head of shortstop Jean Segura, positioned on the right side of second base. Molina was on with a double over the head of center fielder Schafer. The ball flicked off Schafer's glove and rolled to the wall.
Notes: Kolten Wong, who had his first two major league hits on Monday night, continued getting on base. He went 3-for-5 with two singles and a double. The team's No. 1. pick in the 2011 draft joined the Cardinals from Triple-A Memphis Friday night in Chicago. ... Brewers 1B Juan Francisco got the game off. He's struck out four times in consecutive games. "If I think he just needs one day, I will get him back in there tomorrow," manager Ron Roenicke said. Halton replaced him. ... Lynn is 2-2 in four starts facing the Brewers. ... Brewers CF Carlos Gomez remained out of the starting lineup after spraining his right knee colliding into the center-field wall Thursday night. He's missed five consecutive games. ... Segura stole his 37th base, matching Everth Cabrera of the San Diego Padres for the NL lead.

Things in WoW that make you cringe125 replies to this topic
Posted 05 June 2012 - 05:07 PM
First things first, lets try and keep this thread clean and abuse free! Make it light hearted and lets have a laugh! Redcross commenting on a Level 85 warlock begging for 300g made me totally cringe, and surprisingly made me think of another useless warlock. This guy would never EVER use the auction house. For anything. He would always farm his own mats, even if they were only 10silver each on the AH. He would spend hours and hours of game time doing things for 3-4g worth of mats when he could have done one daily quest and used the gold to buy them and STILL make a profit and save himself 3hours of boredom. I once posted him the mats that he was farming (it was painful to watch) and he sent them straight back. To make it worse, he then said he had no time to grind reps / run dungeons to imrpove his gear and then complained why he never raided. Do you have any cringe worthy experiences?!

Everyone was a new player once, but some people seem to never learn how to play. What makes me cringe the most are ::
- Beggers - especially high level beggers .. there's simply no excuse for it.
- People not knowing their class in heroic instances. example, A druid needing on strength gear, using strength gems / enchants.
- Trade spammers / trolls. Children will be children I know... but that doesn't excuse it.
- Ninjas. Again, there is absolutely no excuse for it yet it is very prominent in levelling dungeons.
Posted 05 June 2012 - 06:25 PM
Back in Vanilla... after 2 months of playing constantly my dad saying 'ah erm how do you trade' followed by 'what? what's an auction house'. Giving some reason to the fact he had about 40s in his pocket... Classic really! Was just in a 5 man where a lock won need on a healing trink. He tired to defend himself with 'I need it because haste is good for me and I have a str trink at the moment'. Since the haste buff only working after using a HEALING spell I pointed out it probably wouldn't be much use. He didn't justify having a str trinket... I really got peeved at a ninja that nabbed some hunter pvp loot - lost the roll but took it anyway. Bliz said although he said MS>OS roll; because he didnt specify the HIGHEST roll won then it was fair. I still plan to have a raid where lowest roll wins...
Posted 05 June 2012 - 07:29 PM
The main thing for me is lvl 85s who roll on gear that they don't need. Druids roll on strength. Casters rolling on healing/spirit gear. I understand this at lower levels, but to make it all the way to 85 without ever looking at your character stats and seeing what is ideal kind of makes my brain hurt. Gnomes also make me cringe.
Posted 05 June 2012 - 08:54 PM
Just out of DS and I would like to add I really hate when you get a pug; spent ages looking; there is only one to suppliment your group and will be tricky to replace; and they think because of this they can act like a total jerk. I don't see the point of going on a guild run and then just insulting everyone that is in there. It makes a bad reputation not just for yourself as a player but for your guild. It also means that you are less likely to be invited back not just to a run with that group but to one with any of those core players. It also pretty much ruins the night for the rest of the people there. Really gets to me... Which is why generally I don't pug but sometimes it is unavoidable to take one of those things allong... (on the flip side you sometimes get someone that is really really loverly sadly this happens less frequently)
Posted 05 June 2012 - 08:58 PM
Sadly Alierya chances are the person is pugging because the guild they are in either encourage that type of player or are useless anyway. Diablo and the last patch of the expansion is crippling some small guilds, and weve started to pugging half a raid group at times. Almost not worth the hassle and the effort. Think I generally go through 99 players before you find 1 that you may actually want to recruit!
Posted 05 June 2012 - 09:47 PM
It does happen more often with characters from big guilds. This was an odd one as it is a smaller guild and I have previously had enjoyable runs with them, which is why it was rather off. We haven't had too much of an impact from d3 however a guild we often work with/raid with has gone under. In actual fact our rec has gone up if anything. I'd say probably go through about 20 or so, but I prefer to do it either by applicant or friends of members... taking pugs on rarely works out! It is difficult though. Our problem is reliability of new members.

I hate it that using the portals in Stormwind to go to deepholm, or Uldum or any other cata zone dismounts me. I would also love to be able to 'explore', just fly over the ocean to find small uninhabited islands with palm trees, treasures, pirates, white beaches...

I was tanking a dungeon yesterday on my 83 DK. We killed Corla in BRC, and she dropped the wand with hit on it. A mage and the disc priest rolled on it. The mage won and the disc priest went on a rant about how it was the third time that wand had been ninja'd from them. Now I understand it was an upgrade, but as far as ninjaing goes, needing on a hit wand when you're a caster dps is not ninjaing, I'm sorry. Just irked me.

Being told my 6/8H Holy Priest alt wasn't allowed to come to a 4/8H pug because his ilvl is only 388, not 390+ like they wanted. Similarly, although I'm not sure if these problems are isolated to big servers like Mal'Ganis Horde - US, I saw someone demanding a 380+ ilvl for a BWD (yes, the Tier 11 raid) quick xmog run. His ilvl was 334. I'm sure he cared about his xmog LONG before he cared about being able to contribute in dungeons and LFR.

People who aren't real about their capabilities, a big part of my friends is like that. They all think they're far better players than what they really are and in the end - it's only them who turn out disappointed and quitting.
Posted 09 June 2012 - 06:34 PM
**just got kicked from a ZA run that was otherwise with some random guild... they waited till it was over, then kicked before the scouts were release so I couldn't roll on the stuff.** (very irritated, reported, and I know who you are killrogg cheats!)
Posted 09 June 2012 - 07:34 PM
Posted 09 June 2012 - 11:10 PM
Doubt the can really, sadly they used the kick ability which means they will be protected. Is a shame that the community has plenty of players like that and it's a problem with doing stuff without your known friends!
Posted 10 June 2012 - 01:08 PM
Yeah you probably need to ask them first if they're gonna kick you and if they say no then the GMs can do something about, similar to loot rules before the boss.
Posted 10 June 2012 - 01:28 PM
I'm guessing so. I reported them anyways as it may count as abusing a game mechanic... I'm guessing nothing will be done, at most they'll get a short ban.
Posted 10 June 2012 - 01:32 PM
Which of course you will never know about and will never know if they do it again to another person....grrr, I'd love to know that people are banned etc, at least you see the system working then.

NEW YORK LINE OF DUTY DEATH~ Police Officer Sherman Abrams
On September 13, 2011 Police Officer Sherman Abrams of the New York City Police Department died in the line of duty. Officer Abrams passed away following a training run along the East River with his academy class. He collapsed shortly after the run finished. He was transported to Beth Israel Hospital where he passed away. Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly met with the officer's family at Beth Israel Medical Center on Monday night. Bloomberg said they offered condolences and thanks on behalf of the city for the officer's service.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg released a statement about the tragic incident:
"Earlier today, Police Officer Sherman Abrams, who entered the Police Academy this July, collapsed after completing a run with his academy class and passed away shortly afterwards. He was only 28 years old. Sherman made the decision to dedicate his life to protecting New Yorkers, serving as a correction officer for four years until he got the call to join the NYPD. Commissioner Kelly and I met with his mother tonight at Beth Israel Hospital, where we offered our deepest condolences and the thanks of an entire city grateful for his willingness to serve and help keep us all safe. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of Sherman's family and friends."
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly also released a statement:
"Sherman's dedication as a New York City police officer began when he took the oath of office and started his training in the Police Academy. He made a commitment to public service first as a correction officer and then as a police officer with a seriousness few are prepared to make so early in their careers. On behalf of all the members of the New York City Police Department, I extend my deepest condolences to Sherman's family and friends at this difficult time."
Officer Abrams had served with the New York City Police Department for two months and had previously served with the New York City Department of Corrections for four years. Please join with us in sending our condolences to the family and peers of Police Officer Sherman Abrams.
"Rest easy, brother. We've got it from here."

As part of the review of Tree Disease the Committee held a stakeholder event to gather the views of stakeholders. There were three groups that came up with the following points:
Tree Disease Stakeholder Event - Group One Notes
"Stopping the introduction of new tree diseases and reduce the rate of spread of current diseases including ash dieback within Northern Ireland."
1. Stopping the Introduction
The following points were made from group members:
- Issue with trees being imported to Mediterranean from outside the EU – with no strict controls they can move at will across the EU, leaving the UK vulnerable due to lack of knowledge of where trees are from and where they go to. Need a plant passport system to ensure they are clear from disease.
- Lack of uncertainty for nursery industry in Ireland – need to remove this by forecasting the number of trees needed across Ireland to give certainty of supply. Needs to be on an all island basis, improving certainty attracts more investment which facilitates nurseries.
- Need to stop direct importation from EU – one member mentioned that their nursery has stopped importing hawthorn and only use Irish or Scottish – have lost some business due to this decision- suppliers can buy cheap imports for half the price – people will go for cheaper options due to lack of knowledge of the risk, therefore need roll out of education on issues.
- There is a lack of a long-term static view on supply i.e 4/5 small nurseries out of business due to lack of continuity of supply, and many others are importing –need to encourage more planting- however need a form of forecasting similar to the south to indicate how much planting is needed – should put figures from the different departments together, needs to be a unified figure across the whole island that can adjust i.e. a rolling figure that gives certainty as CAP reform takes place
- Need more encouragement i.e. should pay additional money for locally produced trees- this will encourage local employment. There is an ability to develop a new market ie firewood market for wood burning stoves.
- Not much forward planning – reactionary approach taken to disease – need to put radar out to ensure research is looking ahead. Need to map what parts of world and species are most at risk i.e. focus on high risk areas – prediction and horizon scanning for whether a disease is likely to affect UK and to quantify its possible impact – currently this is very difficult to monitor.
- Soil is currently a big problem and how to sterilise it. Need to also think of packaging, wood in containers etc. can all contain unknown wood. Very difficult to monitor this at the dock side. The issue is with any form of bare timber.
2. Controlling the rate of spread
The following points from members of the group were made:
- Need to increase public awareness and communication – the media needs to give positive messages- needs to be a similar message that everyone is pushing and it needs to keep rolling to take effect.
- Needs to risk map the country- to get the potential for spread in an area. Need to know whether outbreak could be close to a designated site.
- Need to keep planting trees- need to target grant aid to planting of trees i.e. the current Forest Service Policy not grant aiding ash planting – if plant own ash this creates genetic diversity – need to encourage people to plant and identify the resistant trees – however need to educate people on identifying resistant trees.
- Landowner inspection issues- lack of communication with all agents about inspections. Lack of informing before the inspection-tend to only happen after the event and lack of follow-up with landowners.
- There is a fear and confusion amongst farmers in relation to hedgerows.
- Forest Service needs to improve contact avenues - hard to get hold of by phone – people lose appetite to contact them with queries/concerns etc.
Tree Disease Stakeholder Event - Group two notes:
"Building resilience to tree diseases in general and ash die back specifically within Northern Ireland"
How do we build resilience?
- There is a real need for increased genetic diversity in the trees that we plant. The reality is that many of the trees being planted at present are being sourced from a narrow seed bank;
- We have time on our side in relation to ash dieback due to the fact that it is not yet in the wider environment here. Have a number of options as a result:
- Bring in resilient/resistant stock from GB;
- Use locally sources disease free ash – might be the better option;
- Other alternative and more controversial approach to allow diseases to run their course. Monitor and pick out resistant trees and replant using this stock. This is being done in parts of England in relation to ash dieback. Dutch elm disease example was cited – are these trees missed? Areas have been recolonised by new species;
EU issues
- Netherlands is a major producer of many of the plants used here but also leaves us exposed to risk of tree disease/pests;
- Highlights the legislative weakness that we face due to the lack of scrutiny for intra EU plant movement. The plant passport system has potential for extension but also has weaknesses due to the fact that it is not timely – can cover material that has previously been planted;
- Concerns around the fact that plants entering Northern could be carrying pests/diseases which could come in on one species and then affect others - example of ramorum, started in rhododendron and then spread to trees;
- Real need for review of EU Plant Health regime to address current weaknesses – extension of the passport system or the introduction of a quarantine system for plant imports into the EU should be considered – also raises the potential of better sharing of information across the EU – a key issue if tree and plant diseases are to be contained or eradicated;
Local tree/plant nursery issues
- Big questions around whether we have both the range and volume of tree stock within Northern Ireland to meet our needs;
- Simply not viable in the short term to not import plants from the EU – local plant growing/nursery capacity not sufficient to meet the demand. Question needs to be asked if we are a big enough market to support a successful local nursery industry?;
- Local nurseries will need to be supported to increase their production capacity – reality is that local nurseries currently import trees because to grow them is not economically viable – in effect many local nurseries are brokers of plants rather than growers;
- Options for support could include grant support for native stock production and the possibility of farm diversification into plant nursery business;
- There is also a real need for research to determine the level of genetic diversity that exists within our local tree stock – such research would also be critical to local plant nurseries in terms of identifying and growing resilient/resistant stock over an 8-10 year period;
- The Eco Seeds company approach to utilising local seed stock was highlighted as a good example of what can be done – key being traceability ensuring the provenance and quality of seed stock and trees/plants cultivated from this source;
- The National Trust was also highlighted in relation to their potential use of the walled gardens within their properties here as plant nurseries;
Wider issues for consideration in building resilience
- May need to take a lead from agriculture in terms of genetic modification time as a means of developing desired traits and increasing disease/pest resistance – needs a long term approach;
- We need to plant more trees – will have a net effect of increasing resilience as more chance of disease resistance being built – providing we utilise local stock;
- Need a combination of approaches to deal with this issue in the short and long term – there is no magic bullet
- The long term approach is particularly necessary in relation to trees – natures pace is different to that of man and we need to take this into account and consider letting nature take its course;
- We need an effective Invasive Species Strategy that takes account of the risks posed;
- Do we have the knowledge and skills locally to deal with the current and future risks?;
- Needs to be wider involvement in this issue NIEA and Environment committee as good examples;
- We need to decide where best to invest resources – pre-emption/prevention as opposed to dealing with outbreaks.
Tree Disease Stakeholder Event- Group three notes:
"Developing positive linkages between all sectors involved in tree diseases in Northern Ireland"
The following points were made from group members:
- The infiltration of Chalara into the UK acted as a wakeup call leading to focus groups being set up to tackle the disease. Links have now been made and these should be built on and continued to scan the horizon in search of what the new diseases are likely to be, where they have come from and how they are being dealt with. If the government do undertake such an exercise, there is a lack of information getting through to the industry. Both DEFRA and Scotland have groups set up for scanning for future diseases, whereas here we tend to have responsive groups that react to a problem and then dissolve.
- Although the immediate aid and advice given to the industry by the Department was both fast and efficient it has since dried up leaving some stakeholders in limbo. Some confusion needs to be made clear to the industry, especially when the Department are studying the trees that look most likely to fall from Chalara but not sharing the information or details if they are not suffering from the disease.
- UK wide bodies are needed to look at the issues of complexity of diseases and identifying new host species which should focus on research and communication. It could also look at pests and diseases that are being brought in where there is no basis or resistance here, while developing a better knowledge of what is out there.
- There was concern that the plan for Invasive Alien Species which is taken forward by the DOE yet they were not involved in the stakeholder discussions. More information needs to be discussed and shared between government Departments internally and indeed with the industry. We are looking at just a tiny snapshot of the disease threats that are out there and a common sense approach to Biodiversity and linkages with all bodies here and in the UK.
- There are issues around trade and free trade that could be taken forward by the industry to help strengthen resistance here. This could also be aided by a joint up approach to looking at planning ahead based on a contract basis to help reduce risks.
- There are many contacts between the Department here and the Industry, i.e. National Trust, Woodland Trust etc. The Department should use this to its fullest by providing these organisations with up to date information and guidance that they can in turn provide to their Members increasing the circle of knowledge and what people are looking out for.
- Although there is no legislation to stop importing plants a government led approach to introduce legislation may not be the best way forward.
- Procurement procedures can be a problem, especially with specification and we should have a joint up approach on how to handle supply and demand.
- The industry in Scotland has taken the lead by labelling more details on the plants the sell. Not only does this show the seed provenance, but also lists the details of where that sapling has been growing. Some possible government led incentive around this could bring more stakeholders around the table to discuss a similar system here which would benefit Northern Ireland.
- A joint approach looking at how forests should be managed may be of great value. NI academics should engage with Industry in a long tern research project to look at all aspects of biodiversity involved in forestry and science. This could include flood mitigation and why we are felling forests.
A series of questions relevant to the review were also asked and the following answers and points collated:
What is NI doing well regarding Tree Disease?
Red Group
- Speed of DARD's reaction to likelihood of Chalara. Better than Phytophthora;
- "Fortress Ireland" approach essential;
- Swift action to reduce inoculum levels of Chalara and provide an opportunity to put an effective plan in place;
- Removal of infected trees by Forest Service staff;
- Enforced destruction and trace forward;
- Number of sites surveyed; and
- Stakeholder event – getting all sectors and parties together to talk
Green Group
- Good that the problem is being tackled on an all-Ireland basis;
- Fortress island and all island approach;
- NI is a small community so any measures would be easy to implement; and
- Fortress Ireland is buying us time to build an action plan.
Blue Group
- Quick turn around on legislation to prevent imports;
- Response to chalara and tracing planting stock and taking action;
- Plant health and incident response;
- Forest Service monitoring and have covered a major number of sites;
- Very quick introduction of plant health legislation. Good relationship between private sectors, growers and Forest Service
What could NI do better?
Red Group
- Lack of communication on the ground;
- Need to produce a plan to influence the UK position in the EU. Review of plant health to allow us to enhance/protect plant health in NI;
- Lack of communication with all agents;
- No request for assistance;
- Lack of import control;
- Need to develop local tree growing markets e.g. Fir wood/Coppice;
- Proper screening of imports e.g. UV rays like with seawater;
- Engage with other profesionals;
- All Ireland control plan, research and forward planning nursery;
- Lack of communication with Agency staff, NGOs, the public and private sector;
- Shouldn't have to import trees – make an all-Ireland forecast of tree need to give nurseries better notice;
- More joined up approach with all stakeholders, particularly private sector;
- Lack of information being pushed about. Need response plan for Spring and bud burst;
- No bio-security measures on infected sites that involve the public;
- Forest signage unimaginative and not maintained;
- Central lack of engagement with public and the industry stakeholders;
Green Group
- We have decreased the area of woodland creation created annually – this should be increased dramatically;
- NI is very poor at establishing tree covered landscape;
- Development of further links between stakeholders to discuss and develop actions to control tree disease;
- Expertise and knowledge within NI needs to be improved; and
- Import of non-local provenance trees from GB and continent disease and parasites.
Blue Group
- Use stakeholders better; establish a steering group;
- Need to be linked to the Invasive Species Strategy. Need joined up government;
- Long term research project involving QUB, NIFS and private woodland owners to examine the impact of horticultural systems on plant health/disease issues;
- Further research on maintenance of plant pathology and plant pest knowledge and skills;
- Planning Service require planting mature/standards which increases the risk of introducing IAS; and
- Support for local nurseries growing trees locally in in the required volumes. Also grow standards are required.

It's absurdly early for me to make an Oscar prediction, considering this movie hasn't been filmed yet, but I expect great things from Empire.
Variety reports Michael Mann will direct Will Smith in this forthcoming film from Columbia Pictures.
Smith will reportedly play a contemporary media mogul, and that's all the information out there on what the movie will be about.
But John Logan, who wrote both Gladiator and The Aviator, is penning this. Considering how awesome both of those epics were, I'm guessing Empire will be equally compelling.
Director Michael Mann has a lengthy list of cool crime dramas and thrillers to his credit: Collateral, Heat, Manhunter and Miami Vice — to name a few.
(BEFORE you go "Miami Vice sucked!" allow me to say two things: "Fuck you!" and "That's a topic for another rant.")
Ahem … Mann also has demonstrated a fascination with the inner workings of the corporate world and mass media. His 1999 film, The Insider cast Al Pacino as the 60 Minutes producer who broke a huge tobacco industry scandal.
The Insider received seven Academy Award nominations. Gladiator and The Aviator won five Oscars apiece.
Will Smith is a gifted and versatile actor with two Oscar noms to his name, one of which was for his last team-up with director Mann in Ali.
Considering the strong team behind Empire, don't be surprised if we finally get to hear Smith go, "Say hello to my lil' friend … who's golden and bald."

I have an old rack that I'm trying to get a decent gloss black that I will add next. Fun stuff. Love the Col de la Vies. Fussy to mount but great to ride. The Elite headlight is now LED, (Thanks member gna).

Beautiful Raleigh!
Wow, that Raleigh Sports looks pristine! I remember a pic in front of the Capitol, right? Very nice.
I got this a few days ago. I was going to transplant the crucial parts to another frame (diamond, maroon/burgundy) that was for sale at another town, as I am a male and all of my other bicycles are in various shades of red.
But this brown beauty - wonderfully tuned up, and while in no way "mint" but telling of a loving history - a sight of it and a test ride of it made me decide to just leave it be. And this will be the one I will be riding on a daily basis. Maybe I will paint it red-ish when it really wears out - yeah, like that will happen in my lifetime!

i can only imagine applying the front brake and seeing your pads go flinging off ahead of you as they shoot out from their carriers.
This may have been posted before. If so, I missed it --
A real one-of-a-kind on eBay: French Arxer 3-Speed with Sturmey Archer rear. I may be alone on this, but I think it's amazing. I had to share the photos. Check out the chainring:
^Look at that sidewall - 700x35! So many tire options! And such a fascinating chainring and guard...I love it.
So beautiful. I really wish I could find something this unique and old (700c Classic European Loop Frame) in the US. Unrealistic I know, but it's nice to dream, isn't it?
Suntour Cyclone PL-5300 pedal. Pls PM me if you have one to spare.
That is gorgeous, to be sure, and quite functional, too. You're right that 700c tires are a huge plus.

Maddox, that French bicycle is beautiful.
Very cool maddox, dreams come true...sometimes. I'd been looking for years before I stubbled upon a 24" Rudge Whitworth Loop Frame and forks. It was made for 28"s but I decided to go with 700's and SA drums. Now I just need to build up the wheels and decide on a few other parts. Point being, don't give up on your dreams; just keep your eyes open a a few $ in you pocket, just incase.So beautiful. I really wish I could find something this unique and old (700c Classic European Loop Frame) in the US. Unrealistic I know, but it's nice to dream, isn't it?
Currently, your dream is running about $850 US.

Say hello to Aunt Dahlia, a 1966 Raleigh Lady's Sports. Her decals are a little frumpy, but she's a treat to ride. She came with a working Dynohub, matching rack, and a locking front fork -- with the key.
Do those features make her a Sports Deluxe? Her decals aren't easy to read, but they do say "Raleigh Sports" very definitely.
So far, I've replaced the uncomfortable black vinyl saddle she came with and added a brass bell.
Now if I could just get those steel rims replaced before the rainy season kicks in here in California....

Good looking bike, marmorgan!
In order to insert the image in your post, you need to find the image url, not the flickr page url. Usually you go to "Actions" at the top left of the photo, and click on "View all Sizes." On the page it takes you to, you right-click on the image and select "copy image address." Once you do that, you've got the image url copied to your clipboard. You then go directly to your post here, and type "[img]". You then right clip and select "Paste", and the image url you copied will be inserted after the "[img]" tag. You then close the end of the photo url (ending in ".jpg") with the close image tag - "[/img]." You post would then look like this: [img] blablahdotjpg [/img] - and the photo will display for us.
That's a brilliantly preserved '66 Sports if ever I saw one. Those dyno lights are extremely desirable, so congrats on finding one with the lights intact!
And good job with the saddle and bell - they really bring it up to date nicely. Next thing to consider would be installing new cables and brake pads, which will (along with a wheel swap) dramatically improve braking and shifting.
Suntour Cyclone PL-5300 pedal. Pls PM me if you have one to spare.
So I've been working on the Superbe project, most recently repainting some badly neglected fenders (I'll post photos later), making the Steel to CR-18 swap, and overhauling the rear hub...so I've been looking at a variety of Sturmey Archer resources and assorted English parts distributors. Thought I'd share a few interesting and/or cool links/photos I found -
Firstly, I was fantasizing and looking at prices on old FG (4-Speed) hubs, and found JollyRogerMotors.com. Not only do they have a bunch of parts including a good condition 4-Speed hub for sale, they also have a Ladies' 1947 DL-1 for sale for $195.00. If you're in MA, that's not a bad deal.
Also, I found a wealth of cool info at www.sturmey-archerheritage.com, a site maintained by Sturmey Archer Co that has a giant record of old ads, tech info, and press stuff. Really really great stuff, such as a 1970 display-model of the hub spliced to show the internals, and much much more (too much to share).
This one, about spending 35,000 miles on an AW Hub, made me think of some forumites:
I also really appreciated having a rendering of the massive factory in Nottingham that ran during the 50's and 60's, producing many of the hubs I've used and/or rebuilt, probably along with many others...
Gets kind of sad when you get further along in the timeline, and it shows photos of the new Tiawanese factory but alas...such is the nature of the new economy, I suppose.
Suntour Cyclone PL-5300 pedal. Pls PM me if you have one to spare.
Also, for those considering a rebuild, here's a good site that has a photo walkthrough. I'd consult other sources too and know what you're getting into, but this is a helpful link:
Suntour Cyclone PL-5300 pedal. Pls PM me if you have one to spare.
I have to say, I don't think I'll ever tire of looking at photos of well loved Raleigh Sports. They're common, yet each time I see one so beautifully cared for--as evidenced numerous times previously in this thread--it just makes me happy. I may not comment on every set, but I sure do love them. The black sports at the top of the page ... drool, the blue one, ..delightful. All the other 3-speed goodness is great too. Part of it is that I just like bikes, but part of it is seeing people value fixing a worthwhile thing vs. perpetuating a throw-away society. In any case, great thread.
Nice pictures!
They remind ALOT of Leavenworth Washington.

@Maddox...that was an interesting bit on the 35,000 mile hub. I have one that I can document about half that many miles on and it has much more than that on it. It is an undated hub but the bike appears to be around a 1970/71 model. It is the smoothest and best running of all my AW hubs.
Webshots is bailing out, if you find any of my posts with corrupt picture files and want to see them corrected please let me know. :(

Well, after looking at all these wonderful 3 speeds, we have finally made our first purchase. I stumbled across this 1977 Raleigh Sports with the S3C coaster brake hub from at our local Goodwill shop. It shouldn't take too much to get her back on the road.
Here she is in "As Received" condition. Anyone got a spare Raleigh R seat post bolt?

TB in Specific Populations
TB in Specific Populations
Tuberculosis (TB) is a challenging disease to diagnose, treat, and control. It is critical to target prevention and control efforts to certain populations so as to reduce disparities related to TB, and further reduce TB rates both in the United States and worldwide.
African-American Community
Blacks continue to have a disproportionate share of TB. The percentage of TB cases in blacks is higher than expected based on the percentage of blacks in the U.S. population. If looking at only people born in the United States, the proportion of TB in blacks is even greater. Addressing the TB disparity among blacks is an important priority; prevention and control efforts should be targeted to this population.More
TB disease in children under 15 years of age (also called pediatric tuberculosis) is a public health problem of special significance because it is a marker for recent transmission of TB. Also of special significance, infants and young children are more likely than older children and adults to develop life-threatening forms of TB disease. More
Correctional Facilities
TB in correctional settings is a public health concern. Approximately 4-6% of TB cases reported in the United States occur among people incarcerated at the time of diagnosis. The incarcerated population contains a high proportion of people at greater risk for TB than the overall population. More
TB in the homeless population is a public health concern. While the reported number of TB cases in the United States decreased slightly in 2011, a disproportionate number of TB cases still occur among high-risk populations, including people experiencing homelessness. More
International Travelers
In many countries, TB is much more common than in the United States. TB is a serious international public health problem. Although multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB are occurring globally, they are still rare. All travelers should avoid high risk settings where there are no infection control measures in place. More
While dealing with a TB diagnosis in pregnancy is not easy, there is a greater risk to the pregnant woman and her baby if TB disease is not treated. Babies born to women with untreated TB disease may have lower birth weight than those babies born to women without TB. More
Health Disparities in TB
Despite prevention efforts, some groups of people are affected by TB more than others. The occurrence of TB at greater levels among certain population groups is often referred to as a health disparity. Differences may occur by gender, race or ethnicity, income, comorbid medical conditions, or geographic location. More

28 weeks with decreased fetal movement but normal NST results?? HELP
I am almost 28 weeks pregnant. Prior to 25wks my baby was very active, but at 25 weeks I stopped feeling very many kicks at all. I still feel hiccups and other little body movements - but hardly any kicks at all. I can get him to kick once or twice if stimulated. I expressed my concerns yesterday at my apt... the DR. did a non-stress test. My baby was very active and kicked like crazy at the monitor (like he does at the doppler heart beat thing and during ultrasounds) When my doctor looked at the tap (for like 1 millisecond!) she said everything was fine. I'm so worried - he moves very little for the majority of the time. Has anyone else had this experience or have any advice???? Please help! I am a very worried first time mom-to-be! Thank you.

I too am almost 28 weeks and have experienced a decrease in my baby's movements. Even when he does move, it just isn't as strong as it was last week even. As much as I've read all I can chalk it up to is that he has less room to move now. My sister experienced the same thing with both her baby's and she tells me to try not to worry... of course she knows how difficult that is. As long as your baby still moves when stimulated I'm sure he is fine, he may just be feeling a little crammed these days. I've also read that a fetus can have his/her up days and down days. Days where they feel like relaxing and others where they are just more active. I understand your concern and as I try to reduce your's I still have mine!posted 04/21/2008 by dbrenee
Snyderme and other worried moms-to-be: Exactly 3 weeks ago today I was in the hospital getting a non-stress test for the exact same reasons you have described. My baby (boy) is also EXTREMELY active and for about 2 days I felt maybe 2 kicks which brought me to tears. The test was very comforting as he moved quite often and his heartbeat was very strong. The next day I felt no movement again. I didn't panic as I knew he was ok based on the NST. The following day he was back to his normal busy self. It is very likely that he turned and his back was to my tummy making it nearly impossible to feel his movements. It seems that this is quite common between 24 - 28 weeks. I would suggest getting the NST. Hearing the baby's heartbeat will ease your worries. Chances are he/she has changed positions and will move again and revert back to his/her busy routine. Call your OBGYN and have it done as soon as possible. You will feel so much better.posted 02/04/2010 by Nakita3
I am going on 28 weeks this week and I've had the same thing happen. This is my second pregnancy and I never felt a decrease in activity with my first so of course I'm a little worried. I don't go to my dr until next week but the thing is I feel just enough activity to keep my from calling the doctor. It's just as of Saturday the movements aren't as strong or as frequent as they use to be. I barely am feeling anything. My stomach actually looks smaller too - even my mom mentioned it to me. I'm thinking maybe the baby has just rotated in a different position but it is still worrying me. I think if it doesn't pick up in the next couple days I will call the dr just to see if they think I should come in before next week.posted 06/02/2008 by cathy13mom
If you are not getting your 10 kicks in 2 hrs you really need force the doctors to watch your baby again. If you are not comfortable with what is going on make them check it out. I lost my first baby @ 27 weeks with decreased fetal movement and you don't want that so better to be the bothersome mommy.posted 06/09/2008 by justmenow
I am 27 weeks and have noticed a decrease in fetal movement the past 3 days, normally she is non-stop very active and strong, i would have assumed the kicks and movement would get stronger not weaker.... a bit concerned, reading most of these anwers helped relieve some anxiety though one of them said shelost her baby at 27 weeks due to decrease fetal movement, AH, this is my third pregnancy. I go in for my rhogam shot in a few days although its not an appointment perhaps if it doenst pick up by then i should ask the medical assistant whom is giving me the shot? Any advise is appreciated.posted 01/19/2013 by sweetc23
I am 27 weeks today and have been under the weather. I have had a slight stomach bug with a little direa and vomiting, but nothing to be alarmed about. I noticed yesterday when this started my baby was not moving as much and today as well even though I am feeling a bit better. I am unsure if I am feeling gas or my baby since my stomach is not right. I am a bit worried, but hate to run to the Dr. for no reason. I know they say your baby can have up and down days, but can the baby be that inactive because I am not feeling well?posted 11/04/2008 by momfeb2009

Green Plains Renewable Energy Inc. Stock Upgraded (GPRE)
TheStreet) -- Green Plains Renewable Energy (Nasdaq: GPRE) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, attractive valuation levels and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, generally poor debt management and disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- GPRE's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 39.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 90.0%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. In comparison to the other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, GREEN PLAINS RENEWABLE ENRGY's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for GREEN PLAINS RENEWABLE ENRGY is currently extremely low, coming in at 4.10%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 0.60% trails that of the industry average.

The Secret History of the Aeron Chair
It wasn't originally designed for office warriors. It was intended for the elderly.
The design concept that Stumpf presented in 1992 took the lessons of the Sarah to their logical extreme. "We started to realize that people were interacting with computers and keyboards in all sorts of positions. They'd have the keyboard in their lap. Or they'd be at their desk slouching back, semi-reclined," says Chadwick. So they proposed a reclining mechanism based on the Sarah's, one that allowed the seat pan and chair back to move in concert. And, most importantly, they came up with the idea of getting rid of the Sarah's foam altogether. The right fabric mesh, they argued, would mold to any person's shape—what prevented bedsores would also keep people comfortable. In the end, the chair's oddball looks would be a direct expression of its engineering.
Stumpf and Chadwick also argued forcefully that the design would benefit both the environment and the bottom line. The executives recognized the truth of this argument intuitively. "The chair plant was filled with foam hanging from the ceiling and curing in the open air, everywhere you looked. It smelled horrible," says Gary Miller. "You had to wonder, 'Where's the end to this? How can this scale?' " Chairs at the time were mainly foam; foam was a huge part of their cost. Without it, the chair's economics would change radically. "Green wasn't an issue at the time," says Chadwick. "But instinctively, we felt the importance of getting more performance from less materials."
Herman Miller's CEO, Dick Ruch, stewed on the decision for a few days. Finally, he signed off. It was an enormous risk: Because of the company's production schedule, the inordinately expensive plastic molds for the frame would have to be made before the engineers even knew if they would be able to find a suitable fabric. Chadwick eventually led the invention of one, and the chair gradually came to life in increasingly futuristic prototypes.
When the Aeron was finally done, Herman Miller's executives had warmed to Stumpf and Chadwick's problem-solving rigor, but remained leery about the chair's weird looks. They turned out to be a major selling point, making the chair seem incomparably advanced. One dealer in Hollywood, shortly after its unveiling in October of 1994, reported putting his first floor sample in the window, and hearing cars screech to a halt upon seeing it. By 1996, the orders were already dwarfing Herman Miller's expectations. Pop culture had made it a phenomenon: Will, on Will and Grace, spent an entire episode trying to get an Aeron. Then the crash came. The dot-com-era profits helped keep Herman Miller alive in the early 2000s, and sales eventually bounced back. Nearly 7 million Aerons have been sold to date, and another one comes off of Herman Miller's lines every 17 seconds.
Even without such mainstream success, the Aeron would have become a design classic simply because it tells so many stories about the industry's changing mores. It anticipated the move toward dematerialized, more sustainable products. Together with the first Dyson vacuum—produced in 1993—it embodied a function-forward, engineering-heavy ethos new to product design.
But today the chair also embodies an embattled assumption about office work. Stumpf and Chadwick knew that it wasn't healthy to sit in a chair for hours—you had to get up and walk around periodically—but the Aeron's comfort nonetheless encouraged it. And that sedentary work life is killing us: One study, conducted over 13 years, observed that women who habitually sit for more than six hours a day were 94 percent more likely to die during the study period than their most active peers. (For men, that figure was 48 percent.) Likewise, another study found that those who sit the most compared with those who sit the least have twice the risk for diabetes—and working out during the non-sitting hours doesn't help.
The Aeron obviously isn't the cause of "sitting disease," no more than it was the cause of the dot-com bubble. But it is, along with so many of the chairs that followed its example, and enabler of it. As a result, we now see a wave of products that you might call the anti-Aerons—many of which, incidentally, were first popularized in Silicon Valley. There are exercise balls that some people use for office chairs; desks (some of them designed by Herman Miller) that let you work standing up; desks attached to treadmills; and desks integrated with chairs that make sitting always slightly precarious. One of the most lauded designers alive today, Konstantin Grcic, actually designed a stool that's too uncomfortable to sit in for long periods.
If designs like these become mainstream—and if we can find no better solution to sitting disease than intentionally uncomfortable chairs—then the Aeron might one day look less like a design masterpiece and more like the modern descendant of a perfectly designed Bauhaus ash tray: beguiling in its perfection, but necessary only because of a waning, deadly habit.

By default in Graphviz, edge labels are placed just to the right of the edge. I'm looking for a way to place the labels OVER the edge, centred on the edge. (It'll still be readable because I'm changing the colour of the edge).
Any ideas?
If this was headlabel or taillabel, you could try setting
One other thing you might want to try is to make a transparent, intermediary node with a label on it. It could look like you want... But if you heavily rely on node placement algorithm, it could be unacceptable to create those 'artificial' nodes. In that case, I encourage you to join graphviz developers and add the feature you need ;) Seriously, it is very satisfying.
If you find another solution, please post it. I will be facing a similar problem in the near future.

In honor of today's LIVE wedding, we're bringing you updates from past couples on Engaged & Underage! Some relationships have grown stronger, some have collapsed… hey, that's life, right? Check in with…
Michelle Says: It's amazing and quite scary how a life can change over the course of a year. It can turn completely tragic and leave one wondering how that happened so suddenly. My marriage failed. Six years of love and dedication faded, and I have already forgotten what my heart felt like on my wedding day. The memory is a haze, and I'm startled at the thought of that.
There's a part of me that feels empty — as if a part of me is missing. I suppose that is what happens when you give someone your heart and they give it back. I will find love again, and my heart will be whole again. But until then I need to figure out who I am. Constantly consumed in the drama of an unhealthy relationship molded me into a monster — that's not me. The divorce was a necessity for both of us to clear our consciences.
I keep replaying things in my mind; our first kiss, prom, our engagement… everything. My heart sinks and my stomach turns when I can't remember how my heart felt at those times. All I know is how it feels now and that consumes my memories.
I tried to make the marriage last. I wanted it to last more than anything. But who I was when I was 15 wasn't who I grew to be at 21. Predictable, I know, but I always thought Ben would be a part of my life. People told me not to get married young, I didn't listen. I never would have listened, because I wanted to be married. I suppose I'm somewhat glad I found out the hard way that it was a mistake. I should have waited, though.
I kept wondering where we went wrong, and then it hit me — we were always wrong. We weren't right for each other. I learned that love isn't enough. I learned that just because you're with someone for a long time doesn't mean you'll be with them forever. I wanted to prove everyone wrong and be with Ben forever, but there was no saving us. We just didn't work. We couldn't work. All the years that I was hurt and cried myself to sleep were masked by a smile and a "perfect relationship". I wanted everyone to think we were perfect because I wanted us to be perfect. But what is "perfect", anyway? It doesn't exist. It never has. A relationship can be so beautiful even with complications, but there's a point where the complications outweigh the beauty and people's minds and hearts begin to be consumed with hate.
I've matured a lot over the course of a year. With that maturity came the realization that we would never work no matter how hard we fought for it. I then came to the realization that I hated myself. I hated the person I was with him. I'm not asking for pity, and I'm not blaming that on him; we just don't work together. I meant every word of my vows. Those tears on my wedding day were tears of love and dedication, but people can only fight to be together for so long.
While I will have to face the "I told you so!"'s, I feel brave enough to understand that this experience has changed me for the better. My happiness needs to become important to me, and I've learned that my happiness will only be fulfilled if Ben and I go our separate ways. This decision was mutual, and I only wish him a happy and successful life. I married my first love, I lost my first love. Unfortunately we couldn't be together forever like we had always dreamed of. It's so strange to think about how I wanted to have children with this man, and how unfortunate it is how it ended up.
If I could give anyone advice it would be… to be sure. If you feel unsure about marriage, it probably is unsure. Wait it out – marriage doesn't make a relationship "all better" and work, and I learned that the hard way. If there are warning signs, take them seriously, because I had to face the fact that love isn't always enough.

in Fruit & veg
Got an allotment this yr and am thinking of putting some raised beds. Looking around at my fellow gardeners there doesn't seem to be many raised beds. Or shall I just divide the plot into sections so I'll know what to grow and where? I'm still learning how to grow my veggies. Advice needed. Thanks.
Raised beds have disadvantages too Weyplotter. Crops can dry out very quickly, for example.
Your fellow gardeners haven't raised beds, maybe, for a good reason.
I would concentrate on growing your crops by enriching your soil, rotating your crops and understanding your soil, crop requirements and local conditions.
Raised beds can be very good ESP in areas prone to waterlogging or where soil is very heavy but they aren't a solution to everything. as you said, "learn" how to grow your crops first.
Good luck
Thank you so much Verdun your advice much appreciated and will be taken on board.
Did make a fair amounts of mistakes this yr due to my keenness and I guess impatience to get the seeds in. So although some of the crops did well I'm pretty sure it was due to luck and not knowledge.
We all make mistakes Weyplotter. We are all impatient. We are all over eager. When things grow well it is down to our "skill". When they fail it is down to bad luck
Lots to be said for raised beds especially for new starters.If prepared properly ie dug over to loosen ground beneath and properly weeded (perennial weeds are a bugger to shift once you've got your goodies planted) they are a god send. get plenty of well rotted manure in and good compost and topsoil and you will be laughing. No digging over every year, ready for planting earlier as they heat up quicker and easily defined areas to manage. When you start out and have one large area it can be daunting and very easy to lose confidence whereas when its split up you can see your successes and tend to persevere as its impossible to get everything right straightaway.I would certainly go with raised beds.Good luck!
Just to add Weyplotter, I'm a no dig gardener. I now simply add compost or manure in autumn and "scratch" it in during the early spring. The goodness is retained in the top levels of soil just where crops need it. So, its the first year of proper digging and trenching in compost followed by annual top dressings. Best way I think. And the soil looks good too
The plot was in a bit of a state so have had to do loads of digging and managed to get lots of horse manure on it. At the moment I've got those anti-weeds sheets on where the veggies will go in. I like the idea of no digging and actually I think it makes sense however I really enjoy digging -its the 'feel good factor'.
Steve I agree its very daunting staring at a piece of land not knowing what to do and when to grow! I'm going to divide it up, managed to get lots of planks from builders so just waiting to put my plan in action,
My advice with a new allotment ( and they're always in a state when you take over, tee hee ) do a little at a time. When you've had enough, stop. Don't let it become a chore. Even if you cover half and work on one half this season, it's a start. The other piece of advice I'd give to a new allotmenteer : talk to you neighbours. They'll have probably gone through what you're going through now and will have a good idea what does well, and what's not worth the bother. It's also a great way to make new friend and become part of the family there.
Thanks Hosatfan1
My fellow allotmenteers are great-they can open their garden gate go straight into the plot which means they've been at it for centuries. Actually they have been really helpful and encouraging and yes its a family.Gardening will never be a chore-after a stressful day its very therapeutic and keeps me sane! My plot is a safe haven-no phone away from it all.
