The Toronto stock market was higher Friday morning primarily due to rising railroad and energy stocks.
The S&P/TSX composite index shook off early losses to advance 51.49 points to 15,255.97.
Geopolitical concerns cast a shadow over markets going into the weekend, centred around Ukraine after a Malaysian Airlines jetliner was shot down Thursday.
Ukraine accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting down the Malaysia Airlines plane with 298 people aboard with a surface to air missile, sharply escalating the crisis in the region and threatening to draw both East and West deeper into the conflict. The rebels denied downing the aircraft.
Markets were also focused on the Middle East as Israel launched a ground offensive in Gaza aimed at destroying militants' tunnels and rocket launcher sites.
The Canadian dollar was resilient despite the risk-off tone, up 0.19 of a cent to 93.14 cents (U.S.) as the latest data showed rising inflation. The consumer price index rose 0.1 per cent during June versus expectations for a slight decline. That translated into an annualized gain of 2.4 per cent – a two-year high – against the 2.3 per cent advance that economists forecast.
U.S. indexes were higher after racking up sharp losses on Thursday as the Dow Jones industrials moved ahead 83.80 points to 17,060.61, the Nasdaq rose 44.97 points to 4,408.41 and the S&P 500 index gained 12.66 points to 1,970.78.
The industrials sector was the leading TSX gainer, up one per cent as Canadian Pacific Railway climbed $2.58 to $204.91 on top of Thursday's gain of $4.50 that followed the release of a strong quarterly earnings report. Canadian National Railways advanced 70 cents to $72.47 ahead of earnings coming out on Monday.
The energy sector gained 0.65 per cent with August crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange down 50 cents to $102.69 (U.S.) after two days of strong gains that followed the release of data showing a sharp drawdown of crude inventories in the U.S. last week.
The gold sector was the major weight, giving back most of Thursday's two per cent advance. Gold prices backed off after running up $17 on Thursday with the August contract down $8.80 to $1,308.10 an ounce.
The metals and mining group was down one per cent while September copper was three cents lower to $3.17 a pound.

The China Syndrome
Why the Pentagon keeps overestimating Beijing's military strength.
Every day and night, hundreds of Air Force generals and Navy admirals must thank their lucky stars for China. Without the specter of a rising Chinese military, there would be no rationale for such a large fleet of American nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, or for a new generation of stealth combat fighters—no rationale for about a quarter of the Pentagon's budget. In Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's Quadrennial Defense Review, released this past February, the looming Chinese threat is the explicit justification for all the big-ticket weapons systems that have nothing to do with fighting terrorists or insurgents.
But is the threat real? In each of the last four years, Congress has required the Defense Department to issue a report titled Military Power of the People's Republic of China. The latest edition, issued this week, starts out ominously, but as you read through its 50 double-columned pages, you gradually realize that claims of emerging Chinese superpower are way overblown.
The Chinese are hardly sluggish when it comes to modernizing their military. According to the report, they've been boosting their military budget by double-digit percentages every year for the past decade. They've been expanding their arsenals of missiles, aircraft, air-defense weapons, surface ships, and submarines. They have expanded especially aggressively near the Taiwan Strait, to the point where the balance of forces with Taiwan is now "shifting in the mainland's favor." They're studying the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are shifting their doctrine to focus on joint operations, "network-centric warfare," and offensive maneuvers.
That's what you get from the first half of the report. In the second half, you see that it adds up to diddly.
Take the budget. China officially says it's spending $35 billion on its military, a 14.7 percent increase over last year's budget, amounting to 1.5 percent of its gross national product. (The U.S. military budget is nearly 15 times as large and amounts to 4 percent of our GNP; Japan's and South Korea's defense budgets are larger than China's, too.) The report says that China's growth "sustains a trend that has persisted since the 1990s of defense budget growth rates exceeding economic growth"—but read on—"although the growth of defense expenditures has lagged behind the growth in overall government expenditures over the same period of time." (Emphasis mine.)
In other words, by the report's admission, the military is not the Chinese government's No. 1 priority. (For more on the budget figures, click
More to the point, let's look at what the Chinese have bought. It's a surprise to read that the balance of power with Taiwan is now "shifting in the mainland's favor." For decades, the widespread calculation has been that China could overwhelm Taiwan if it wanted to—just as the Soviet Union could have overwhelmed West Berlin or North Korea could have captured Seoul—but that it's been deterred from doing so out of a reluctance to spark a large-scale war.
The report states: "In the near term, China's military buildup appears focused on preparing for Taiwan Strait contingencies, including the possibility of U.S. intervention." It claims that in the long term, the Chinese aim to widen their area of military control throughout Asia. But the report later makes clear that the People's Liberation Army, as China's military is formally called, is doing nothing of the sort.
It states that "Chinese military theorists" are exploring "the role of information technology as a force multiplier, enabling PLA forces to conduct relatively limited military operations with precision at greater distances from China's borders. However, in practice," the report continues, "the PLA remains untested. The lack of operational experience hampers outside assessment." Military theorists are also thinking about "devising a robust 'out of area' offensive capability to provide effective support for joint operations." However, again in reality, the PLA "faces a persistent lack of inter-service cooperation and a lack of actual experience in joint operations." The language in its official studies of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan "suggest(s) China continues to be surprised at the rapid pace of change in military warfare." In other words, Chinese officers realize they're not playing in the big leagues.
Read as far as Page 30, and you see that not just China's capabilities but also its ambitions are far from expansive. "At present," the report states, "China's concept for sea-denial appears limited to sea-control in water surrounding Taiwan and its immediate periphery. If China were to shift to a broader 'sea-control' strategy"—in other words, if it were seeking a military presence farther away from its shores—"the principal indicators would include development of an aircraft carrier, development of robust, deep-water anti-submarine-warfare capabilities, development of a true area anti-aircraft warfare capability, acquisition of large numbers of nuclear attack submarines," etc., etc. The point is: The Chinese aren't doing—they're not even close to doing—any of those things.

Chiefs look like champs againFri, 22 Feb 2013 11:16 AM
The Chiefs started the defence of their Super Rugby crown with an impressive bonus-point win (41-27) over the Highlanders in Dunedin on Friday.
Outscoring the home team by four tries to three, the Chiefs looked every bit as impressive as they did in winning their maiden title last year.
While the home team had the better of the early exchanges, the defending champions showed they are every bit as good as last year.
The first two tries of the New Zealand season were both gems, showing exactly why Super Rugby is such an entertaining product.
Amazing hands from Highlanders fullback Ben Smith, to take a pass around his ankles, saw the Highlanders take a 7-3 lead after an earlier Gareth Anscombe penalty.
However, what followed a few minutes later was even more sublime. Tim Nanai-Williams, at centre for the Chiefs, produced a piece of individual brilliance to score - slipping through a gaping hole in the Highlanders midfield and Nanai-Williams then rounded Ma'a Nonu to canter over.
Two more Anscombe penalties saw the Chiefs go up 16-7, before Hosea Gear showed his finishing ability with a step and hand-off to score a second for the Highlanders - leaving the visitors just two points 16-14) at the half-time break.
Sopoaga opened the second-half scoring with a penalty, before the try-scoring feast continued.
The Chiefs hit back straight away with great hands putting Patrick Osborne over in the right-hand corner.
Two minutes later the Highlanders attacked from deep through the back three as Kade Poki gets it with not much on and he creates something as he palms off Nanai-Williams and then shows too much pace.
Sopoaga kicked a penalty to put the Highlanders up 27-21, before the Chiefs took a quick tap from half-way and with a phenomenal build Asaeli Tikoirotuma went over.
The ding-dong nature of the game continued through a series of phenomenal passages from both sides as the game went end-to-end without a stoppage in play for about four minutes.
It ended with the Highlanders losing the ball with the line beckoning and Nanai-Williams snapping it up to run 70-odd metres for the score that broke the home team's hearts.
Two more Anscombe penalties put the game beyond the Highlanders at 41-27 and just over five minutes to go.
The scorers:
For the Highlanders:
Tries: B Smith, Gear, Poki
Cons: Sopoaga 3
Pens: Sopoaga 2
For the Chiefs:
Tries: Nanai-Williams 2, Osborne, Tikoirotuma

Call for Papers
Ecrocritical sessions at Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
Please submit your abstract with contact information by Sept. 30, 2011 to the appropriate chair:
Ecospirituality in Twentieth Century Literature How does literature challenge or support the notion of an ecology rooted in spirituality? Or how does ecology itself become represented as a spiritual movement through, for instance, Deep Ecology or neo-Romanticism? In the twentieth century, how does the representation of nature and of humans as a part of nature change alongside the urgent crises caused by technology, war, overpopulation, urbanization, pollution, and consumerism? Please send 250 word abstracts to Kelly C. MacPhail, email@example.com
Great Lakes/ Great Books (Seminar) This seminar examines literary responses to Rust Belt as urban centers, presupposing industrial stagnation and political intransigence (see: Cleveland, Rochester, Toronto, Detroit/Windsor, Duluth), drawing upon fiction of Wideman, Susan Power, Ondaatje, Jeffery Allen, M. Atwood, Eugenides, Alex Shakar and others. How do writers define Rust Belt? 'Region? Local epic?' Workshop of the Nation' or 'Slop Sink of the Republic? Have its writers produced 'last books of 20th century?' 300-500 words and bio to: M. Antonucci(firstname.lastname@example.com)
Are the Tulips Angry? Modernism's Nature This panel examines how Modernist authors privilege nature motifs in their works. Panel participants should examine through theoretical lenses canonic or non-canonic Modernist texts. Preference will be given to texts that employ transnational themes. 500 word abstract/CV by Sophie Lavin: with subject line 'NeMLA ModernNature submission.'
Alps in Austrian and Swiss Literature Proposals are invited in fictional texts that view the Alpine regions as Alpine paradise or nightmare. The Alps have been admired, been viewed as refuge, as a place to recuperate in nature or as a place of provincialism, danger and isolation. German authors have been drawn to the Alps. Diverse critical approaches such as space in literature, theories of hybridity, transnationalism, concepts of existentialism or alienation are encouraged. Submit abstract/questions to: Richard Ruppel, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
'Of Queen's Gardens': Victorian Ecofeminism This panel invites ecofeminist readings of Victorian literature. Women are frequently given 'natural' traits or are associated with the earth. Ecofeminist interpretations may highlight this link's damaging consequences, or celebrate women's resulting potential to reform cultural/environmental attitudes. How does the woman/nature link function? What do these interpretations reveal about Victorian attitudes about gender and the environment, and the treatment of each? E-mail abstracts of 300-500 words to Margaret Kennedy, firstname.lastname@example.com
Ecocritical Approaches to Francophone Literatures We seek ecocritism of Francophone literatures that explores environmentality, ecologies of local place, or the unique characteristics of ecocritical approaches to the environment. Proposals may incorporate postcolonial or feminist theory, philosophy and ethics, environmental justice, regional studies, etc.. Send 500 word abstracts as .doc or docx attachments to Doug Boudreau, firstname.lastname@example.com and Marnie Sullivan, firstname.lastname@example.com. Include complete contact information, academic affiliation, and a brief biography in your email.
The Mountain in Film, Multimedia and Graphic Art This panel examines the visual and multimedia representation of mountain landscapes and social environments in the German-speaking context from the Enlightenment to the present day. Papers are invited on discourses of imperialism and exploration, of the collision and interplay of the wilderness and civilization, and the portrayal of space, memory and identity in film, graphic and multimedia art. John Heath
Literature and the Environment in Transnational Space Literary ecology thinks about the role of literary texts in creating consciousness about the exploitation of people, animals and environment during colonialism and in its aftermath, and ways literary aesthetics is also responding to thinking about the environment. This panel will be an opportunity for scholars interested in literary ecology and the transnational to explore issues, directions and aesthetic concerns in two vibrant and fast developing fields. Elaine Savory, New School University, email@example.com
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Full sessions and information at http://www.nemla.org/convention/2012/cfp.html

May 5, 2016
A Democratic Party re-do for a seat in the state House goes to Shelly Willingham.
Willingham of Rocky Mount won nearly 52 percent of the vote in unofficial returns to beat R. B. "Rusty" Holderness of Tarboro in their runoff election on Tuesday. They were the top two vote-getters in May's primary election for the job to represent Edgecombe and Martin counties.
The seat is one of 58 in the 120-member House that is not contested in November, meaning Willingham will take the seat in January.
The district is now represented by Democrat Joe Tolson, who decided not to seek re-election after 18 years in office.
Willingham is a former county commissioner and former school board member. Holderness is a business owner and served on the school board.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has authorized the use of federal funds to assist the state of California combat the Falls Fire currently burning in Riverside County.
On August 5, 2013, the state of California submitted a request for a fire management assistance declaration for the Falls Fire. The authorization of that request makes FEMA funding available to reimburse 75 percent of the eligible firefighting costs under an approved grant for managing, mitigating and controlling the fire.
At the time of the request, the fire was threatening 1,050 primary residence homes in and around the City of Lake Elsinore, the community of Lakeland Village, and the gated community of Rancho Capistrano. The State of California has further reported that the fire at one point burned in excess of 1,200 acres of federal, state and private land.
The President's Disaster Relief Fund provides funding for federal fire management grants made available by FEMA to assist in fighting fires that threaten to cause a major disaster. Eligible costs covered by the grant can include expenses for field camps; equipment use, repair and replacement; tools, materials and supplies; and mobilization and demobilization activities.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

On the negative front, top decliners within the industry include Spectra Energy ( SE), down 0.9%, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners ( KMP), down 1.0%, Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras ( PBR.A), down 0.7% and Chevron ( CVX), down 0.6%.

TheStreet would like to highlight 5 stocks pushing the industry lower today: 5. Seadrill ( SDRL) is one of the companies pushing the Energy industry lower today. As of noon trading, Seadrill is down $1.37 (-3.7%) to $36.10 on heavy volume. Thus far, 3.2 million shares of Seadrill exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 3.5 million shares.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Mist damp hair with texturizing spray and blow-dry haphazardly while shaking out hair with your fingers. Smooth a flat iron over half-inch sections of dry hair just in the front.
Step 2: Loosely sweep the rest of your hair up and twist into a loose bun high on your head. Secure into place with hairpins.
Step 3: Pull the smoothed front sections back behind your ears and pin the ends in place. Spritz with hairspray to lock in your look.

OT -- But it is Dan Marino and Drew Brees together
I've got Honda Classic duty, but the pro-am had a heavy dose of football, with a foursome featuring Dan Marino, Drew Brees and Jack Nicklaus, along with musician Kenny G.
Brees, left, and Marino (Scott Fisher photo)
Forgot how big Marino was. Looked like a linebacker and made Brees look like a defensive back.
Brees said he had his handicap down to a 3 last summer, but then this thing called a run to the Super Bowl championship happened, and he has not had a chance to play much.
Marino has a lot of time on his hands, and plays to a 4, but from what I saw, Brees hits the ball like he throws it -- accurate has hell.
He was hitting it right down the middle on most of the holes I watched.
Jack Nicklaus, an Ohio State grad, had this line: "Brees had a good year this year, even if he was a Purdue guy, but he was a Big Ten guy, so that's good. We'll have fun with that."

Over the years, the number of UNHCR personnel, operations and offices has increased to meet new and growing needs around the world. In recent years, the refugee agency has been cutting back staff in headquarters and allocating more resources to field operations.
On the financial front, UNHCR has been appealing for more and more from generous donors in the public and private sectors in recent years. The annual budget is US$7 billion in 2015 - the figure rose as the agency based its appeals on the real needs of people of concern.

Can Your Kid Hack It in Kindergarten?
Or should you redshirt him?
Last week, two of my neighbors sent their 5-year-olds on the school bus for the first time. The families were excited but also mildly terrified. I look back fondly on kindergarten—I remember soaring around the playground as an eagle with my friend Kathleen—but kindergarten today is a vastly different beast than it was 30 years ago. Many schools have ditched play-based exploratory programs in favor of direct instruction and regular testing, in part thanks to the pressure to improve grade-school test scores. As many experts I spoke to for this column told me, kindergarten is the new first grade.
Perhaps it's unsurprising, then, that an estimated 9 percent of parents don't send their 5-year-olds to kindergarten anymore. They wait a year so that their savvy 6-year-olds can better handle the curriculum. This so-called "academic redshirting," a nod to the practice of keeping young athletes on the bench until they are bigger and more skilled, is highly controversial. The National Association of Early Childhood Specialists and the National Association for the Education of Young Children fiercely oppose it, saying that redshirting "labels children as failures at the outset of their school experience." Studies that have evaluated how well redshirted kids fare compared to their schooled-on-time peers conclude that redshirting provides no long-term academic or social advantages and can even put kids at a disadvantage.
The practice has become even more controversial in recent years over claims that some parents do it for the wrong reasons: They redshirt their kids not because their kids aren't ready for school, but because, in the age of parenting as competitive sport, holding them out might give them an academic, social, and athletic edge over their peers. If little Delia is the star of kindergarten, they scheme, maybe she'll ride the wave all the way to Harvard. Gaming the system this way, of course, puts other kids at a disadvantage.
Yet some experts say that redshirting can be extremely appropriate and helpful for certain kids, and they aren't convinced by the research pooh-poohing the practice. That's because the impact of redshirting is very difficult to evaluate, as kids who are held back are fundamentally different in many ways from kids who go to kindergarten on time, so the conclusions of some studies might be flawed. And even if redshirting might not be beneficial when effects are averaged, there could be a subset of kids who really benefit from the extra "gift of time." But before I get into that, let me summarize some of the studies.
In 2006, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Southern California analyzed national data collected over many years from 15,000 26-year-olds. They compared what became of kids who had been redshirted to what became of kids who had been young for their class but not redshirted. They found that the redshirted kids performed worse on 10th-grade tests, were twice as likely to drop out of school, and were less likely to graduate from college; the only advantage to redshirting was that redshirted kids were marginally more likely to play varsity sports in high school. (Journalist Malcolm Gladwell made this "relative age effect" famous in his book Outliers when he pointed out that many professional hockey players were born between January and March and thus had been the oldest on their school hockey teams; however, this effect does not seem to exist for football, volleyball, and basketball or any women's sports.)
Other research suggests that redshirted kids are less motivated and engaged than their younger peers in high school and that they are more likely to require special education services. And in a 2008 review, David Deming, an economist of education at Harvard University, and Susan Dynarski, an education and public policy expert at the University of Michigan, concluded that redshirted kids also tend to have lower IQs and earnings as adults. This latter finding is probably linked to the fact that redshirted teens are more likely to drop out of high school than non-redshirted teens. Redshirted kids tend to have lower lifetime earnings, too, because they enter the labor force a year later.
If all this makes you think redshirting is a really bad idea, you're not alone. Many articles, including a piece published here at Slate and a 2011 New York Times op-ed titled "Delay Kindergarten at Your Child's Peril," have deftly argued against the practice. Others point out that redshirting could be bad on a societal level, too: When lots of kids in school are redshirted, parents demand a more advanced curriculum—they often "argue that they have invested in a child's education, and the school must now individualize to meet a 6-year-old's needs," says Beth Graue, a curriculum and instruction expert at the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Center for Education Research—and this could create a vicious cycle making kindergarten more and more challenging, encouraging more and more redshirting. And when redshirting is common, it can put young low-income children at a disadvantage, because these kids may not be ready for the curriculum, yet their parents often can't afford to pay for an extra year of preschool.

I answered this call this morning at my home; the person calling was very insistent that I needed to check my Windows operating system computer NOW for malware/spyware; that I would soon not be able to use it. They never mentioned the product they were selling or the business they represented, in the several minutes I gave them to speak. I asked to have my number removed from their list.
Appeared as GEORGIA on phone. Rang 3 times and disconnected before I reached for it.

The Roanoke Times says Boudreaux failed to report a student rape to school administrators and the girl's parents. The notice about an upcoming hearing says Boudreaux might have neglected the student's health and well-being.

That little girl is named as a victim in the lawsuit Hope's attorney filed in state court, then moved across the street to federal court. In it, Hope claims the school corporation kicked her daughter out of kindergarten two weeks into the school year because the child is bi-racial and because her grandfather is outspoken.
But the school corporation claims the girl was mistakenly enrolled at Tarkington Traditional School and said it corrected that mistake shortly after it was discovered. SBCSC attorney Lyle Hardman called the suit "frivolous."
"She doesn't understand why she can't go to school and I really don't know what to say to her," Hope told WSBT.
She also claims the Tarkington principal knew her daughter's birth date because she gave it to her in an email last summer.
"They took the birth certificates, they copied their birth certificates. They were very aware of her age," Hope explained. "When you enroll a child, there are multiple documents with date of birth. It was very clear. The issue came up, we discussed it and they said it was fine."
State law says kindergarteners have to be 5 years old by August 1 of that school year. The law also allows school districts to set their own procedure when it comes to admitting kids who don't meet that cutoff.
SBCSC spokeswoman Sue Coney said the corporation allows students as long as they are 5 by September 1 and they go through the corporation's waiver process. However, she added, the student in question in this case didn't meet either of those benchmarks.
Hope's daughter turned 5 on September 8.
Then, two weeks after classes started, Hope said the principal and another corporation employee called her into a meeting and said her daughter could not come back to Tarkington this year because she's too young.
"I've been told by multiple principals of other schools that they have plenty of children enrolled in these schools with birthdates that are younger than my daughter," Hope said.
But Coney maintains that's not true.
According to the lawsuit that names Superintendent Carole Schmidt, board president Michelle Engel and the school corporation, Hope says there's more to it.
"I don't want to sue the corporation, I don't want nothing from the corporation. I just want them to treat my daughter with respect and get my daughter back in school where she belongs," Hope added. "And have her stop being singled out just because of my father."
Engel told WSBT Tuesday the fact that the issue came up at Monday night's meeting caught her by surprise.
"We accomplished so much at last night's meeting. This is a distraction, it's a travesty to me. I feel bad for that child."
Coney said it "took several days" for the school corporation to realize Hope's daughter was "mistakenly enrolled at Tarkington."
Even though Hope's attorney filed a motion Monday to dismiss the federal suit, the legal drama may not be over yet.
Both Hope and Hardman told WSBT that Hardman threatened sanctions against her if she lost, meaning she could have to pay all of the corporation's legal fees for the case.
Hope said her attorney might file the case a second time in Superior Court.

I have been sieving my vermicompost for the last few days and now is the time to test it. It looks fantastic if i do say so myself.
Im hoping to find out what's in their dirt — how much nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, lead and possibly other trace elements— and how acidic it is.
I need a reliable chemical tester (not a probe type) I have seen on here that a few people tried out testers a few years ago but there have been no results listed.
Can anyone recommend a good test kit, it does not have to go into as much detail as requested above but it would be great if i can get a reliable tester. Any help please?
Kind regards
Thanks Mrs Garden.
Yes, it will be the test tube type that i am looking at, can you name the brand you tried?
Thanks Brumbull.
The soil analysis service they provide is very expensive and i will be looking at many samples this year.
RHS members: £25 per sample; non-members £30 per sample.
I've not used this, but it appears to be very reasonable http://www.gardening-naturally.com/acatalog/Large_Soil_Testing_Kit.html
Lots and lots of different kits and soil analysis services, Dove but not many (if any) reviews of them. I do like the look of the Mini professional soil testing kit that is at the bottom of your link but they are out of stock. I was hoping that someone had tried and tested one.

Sorry Edd, only just seen this. It was a B&Q test kit.
Hi MrsGarden.
I have just read your other post on Mike Allen pH thread and thought i would answer here so as not to hog his thread.
Dove gave a link in the post above and i am looking at the 'mini professional soil testing kit' for £16.55 I think it is by Westminster but not 100% sure. They are out of stock at the moment so will try and find it elsewhere. The professional one is very expensive and Edd does not like to part with what little money he has.
I need the kit to check what is in my worm compost as i plan to sell it. Its not so much for the garden soil but i do agree totally with what you say. I will need to know what is in my worm compost so i can put it on the label.
Kind regards.
Edd, just a thought but do you have a technical college or university near you? You could approach the science dept. and ask if they would analyse it for you?
artjak That is brilliant it had never crossed my mind .
Hi Edd, I just googled PH test reviews and the one that stood out was Luster Leaf 1612. It's American so most reviews were on Amazon US but they were consistently good, this one impressed me,
"I'm re-ordering this pH testing kit,because I've used up the pH tests of the first kit I bought. It's excellent. Contrary to what one other reviewer has said, it's extremely accurate. I had my pH tests repeated by the local Agway farm store manager and also by the County (Agricultural) Cooperative Extension agent. Both of their pH tests were exactly the same as those I got using the Luster Leaf pH tests.Instructions are very clear and simple. The test itself takes only about 3 to 5 minutes to do. (Though if you go on to test N, P, and K with Luster Leaf's test kit for those elements, those tests will take a few hours - hands on time for those other tests is still only a few minutes though)."
I did find it on Amazon UK, £6.43 for ten.
Ashleigh 2.
Thank you so much for your indepth report. I promise i will look into it, especially at that price!!!
I need in depth analysis and just a bit more than a pH test, thanks. I will look into this and let you know.
Artjak came up with a solution that blew me away. I would have never thought of it and it is so cool if it works.
Give a bit of time and i will let you know.
Sorry, did you know i do not pay for anything if i can help it!!!!!!
Brought a soil test kit from base base in desperation(couldn't find one anywhere)
Soil/rainwater type and was quite effective giving 4 soil ph tests for £8
Edd, we should have a thread about cheap and preferably free gardening solutions. I spent some time today researching plants I would have in and around the pond I haven't got and it came to £130! This forum's great but every time some one mentions a plant they love I look it up and love it too. The wish list is getting very long.
Ok. The year is nearly over and i have been trying many things to test my soil. ( on land and my worm compost )
The main thing to me is, testing the worm compost as i sell it and give it away, too much, but have no idea what it contains. ( how can i procrastinate the benefits of worm compost, nutrients, if i do not truly know, what is in it!)
Well the facts are i have tried.
I used Dovefromabove link from above and bought the Mini Professional Soil Testing Kit. from Gardening-Naturally For £15.99 it gave 80 tests of PH and NPK. 20 of each. (thats 20 tests for each) I also asked to use the new kids at my local collage for (experience, for them.) Someone mentioned this to me so i ask about this unknown sump of knowledge. (WOW)
I did not expect any reply but they where keen and looked at my worm poo samples and gave results within 3 days. Now me being a tight B***ard i disputed their results and sent off a new sample (same batch) to be tested again. They replied again within 3 days (less weekend).
I also gave a bag of worm poo (free) to a neighbour and she said she would put it through the expense of the RHS (expensive soil test) just to see how the results came out, so she and i could see the results.
So the options where (1)Gardening-Naturally Mini professional soil testing kit ( that i have been using for about a 3/4 of a year.) (2)or the results from the local collage ( for experience testing purposes ) (3)or the neighbour who spent a fortune with RHS and used the same sample ( batch. Small rice/ onion bag or about 1/3 of a fertiliser sack. (ish Sample?) From the same batch. RESULTS. ( REMEMBER I ONLY ASKED FOR pH and NPK. values as this is the best that the soil testing kit can do))
The soil testing kit gave results within hours. The Collage gave results within 2/3 days ( that includes e-mail and i got phone calls requesting if i wanted to know what my worm poo had too much of!!!. I know it is good and that is why you only use 40% as i think its too much ) What can i say! They never said it was lacking in anything.
RHS took ages, but did come up with the most in-depth report of nutrients and trace elements in the soil and where i could BUY!! These amending nutrients from!!! Between all three/ four tests (collage twice, remember) there was only a 0.12 difference between the basic 4 tests. THAT WAS IT ! All from the same sample bag and tested twice in one case.
My further results from the test kit have proved reliable but the price for a new Mini Professional Soil Testing Kit from Gardening-Naturally has gone up to £20.91.( inc postage) I tried to sneak a 10% off voucher code but they e-mailed me back saying it was a no go ( i do try ) Any way, apart from the basic litmus paper test for pH in soil (mixture of different dyes extracted from lichens! isn't nature wonderful!!!!) This kit is great and i will use it again. (The local collage were just as good and free. Not sure how much longer i can abuse them for.) Hope this answers my own question and helps others.
Kind regards.
Edd, what were the results?
Hi artjak.
Combined results from 10 samples of my vermicompost over 10 months (approx)
(a) pH 7-8.2
(b) Organic carbon 12 – 17.98%
(c) Nitrogen 1.50-2.00%
(d) Phosphorus 0.9 – 1.7 %
(e) Potassium 1.05-1.20%
(f) Calcium 0.4-0.8%
(g) Magnesium 0.3-0.6%
(h) Sulphates 0.5%
(i) Iron 0.6%
(j) Zinc 300-700 ppm*
(k) Manganese 250-740 ppm
(l) Copper 200-375 ppm
And other micro nutrients with vitamins, enzymes and hormones.
*ppm - parts per million
That might seem low compared with commercial fertilizer. However, the value of vermicompost (or worm castings) is more significant than a standard N-P-K fertilizer scale would suggest.
"Vermicompost is far more complex than chemical fertilizer, and it contains many other substances (biological and chemical that improve soil and support healthy plants. Some of these include humus, worm mucus, and plant growth promoters like cytokinins. In addition, vermicompost commonly contains ten times as much micro organism activity as plain soil (microscopic bacteria and fungi).
The micro organisms in the vermicompost are able to provide the plant with everything it needs to be healthy. Because the compost is a living system there is no excess fertilizer to run off. The humus and worm mucus in the vermicompost helps the soil hold more water, retain its structure and keeps it aerated, while also providing binding sites for micro-nutrients that would otherwise wash out of soil during heavy rains."
The nutrients content in vermicompost vary depending on the waste materials that is being used for compost preparation. If the waste materials are heterogeneous (diverse in character or content), there will be a wide range of nutrients available in the compost. If the waste materials are homogenous (all of a similar kind like pure manure.), there will be only certain nutrients that are available. The vermicompost that i use is varied with food scraps/garden waste and eggshell with cardboard as the main bedding material. No manure (in this batch) but lots of Comfrey added. Air-dried powdered comfrey leaf tissues has a NPK ratio of 1.80-0.50-5.30. compared to animal manure (below).
Dairy Cow: .25-.15-.25
Steer: .70-.30-.40Horse: .70-.30-.60Sheep: .70-.30-.90Chicken: 1.1-.80-.50Rabbit: 2.4-1.4-.60
If you don't think the NPK ratio of the dried leaves from Comfrey is impressive enough, you can also make a concentrated liquid fertilizer out of comfrey with an NPK ratio of about 8-2.60-20.50! (Although you'll want to dilute this before use.)
I use worm tea as i hope to get the best of both worlds. The debate on vermicompost as a pest and disease control is still on going but i do think it makes a big difference. The problem i have is that i have far too much fun with worms.

Three veteran storm chasers were among the 10 people killed when a violent tornado barreled into the Oklahoma City metro area.
Jim Samaras said Sunday that his brother Tim Samaras was killed. Tim Samaras' son, Paul Samaras, and another chaser, Carl Young, also died.
The men were from Colorado but traveled the Great Plains in search of bad weather.
The three died Friday night near El Reno when an EF3 tornado with winds up to 165 mph hit the Oklahoma City area during rush hour.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the men were involved in tornado research.

49 awesome photography tips and time savers
Fitting your photography around the demands of family life (check out our ever-popular free family portrait photography cheat sheet) and the working week is often more difficult than figuring out the technical complexities of your camera.
To help you get the absolute most from your photography time, we have come up with 49 of the best photography tips and time savers that are guaranteed to get you better results, help you edit your shots with ease and simply enjoy your picture taking more.
From checking your kit before you leave the house to setting up your camera on location and tips for improving your photo composition, you'll find plenty of suggestions for saving yourself time and getting organized – thereby reducing the chance of missing out on shots – long before you even press the shutter release.
When it comes to getting the most from the shots you take, there are also loads of tried-and-tested techniques and shortcuts that you can use to guarantee the best results – from finding the perfect location and perfecting composition to getting focus right and nailing exposure.
And of course, no matter how much preparation and care you've taken when shooting, you'll need to store, sort and edit the images you take. So we'll also show you the best ways to cut down the time you spend at your computer.
Whether you like to shoot landscapes, portraits or sport, use these essential time-saving tips and shortcuts to streamline your workflow, improve your technique and edit your shots to perfection. And as always, we'd love to see any shots you've been inspired to take.
Before you shoot
01 Clean your sensor
Even with in-built cleaning system on most modern SLRs or compact system cameras, some dust will inevitably find its way onto your camera's sensor, which takes time to remove from your images with photo-editing software.
Either cleaning your sensor carefully yourself (check our our perfectly safe guide to sensor cleaning) or getting it cleaned professionally is the only way to remove this dust. You shouldn't do this too often, but it's worth checking for sensor dust before you start shooting, especially if you've been changing lenses or shooting in windy conditions. Sensor-cleaning kits can be picked up quite cheaply; we like the ones made by Arctic Butterfly (www.visibledust.com).
02 Keep it simple
While it's handy to have the option of an extra lens or flashgun for those unexpected shots, it's also easy to fall into the habit of carrying all of your kit every time you go out.
But unnecessary gear can become a burden, so before you set out, check whether there are any items, such as heavy zoom lenses, that you aren't going to need. Remember, it's often better to move closer to your subject rather than zooming right in from a distance with a big, unwieldy lens.
03 Format card/charge battery
There are few things more annoying than going to take a shot and finding that the card is full or the battery is flat. It's all too easy to leave images on a memory card, and then forget whether you've transferred them to your computer.
So get into the habit of ensuring all of your cards are downloaded and formatted as soon as possible after a shoot, and charge your batteries when you get home. It's easy to take cards for granted, but they're precious!
For more on using memory cards, check out our infographic on how memory cards work.
04 Clean your lenses/filters
The front element of your lens and filters can soon get covered in dust, dirt and even greasy fingerprints. This can cause flare or even affect the sharpness of your images, so it's worth cleaning them before you go out. Use a blower to dislodge any dust or dirt, then use a lens-cleaning cloth to remove any stubborn marks.

Camera settings
05 Try Picture Styles
Most recent cameras have preset Picture Styles (or Picture Controls) that can be useful for applying basic adjustments to your images in-camera, such as Portrait or Landscape. What's more, many cameras also allow you to edit the saturation, sharpness and contrast settings to fine-tune the effect to suit your taste or style (for more, see Canon Picture Styles: how to use the in-camera effects on your EOS camera).
06 Minimise lens distortion
On Nikon cameras you have the option of automatically correcting lens distortion in-camera, while with Canon models you can correct for lens vignetting. These correction features are normally switched on in the set-up menu, although this will only be available if the lens on the camera is compatible with the automatic correction feature of your camera. Minimise distortions as you shoot, and you won't have to fix your images post-shoot (learn more about distortion with our infographic explaining chromatic aberration).
07 Auto-rotate your shots
In the set-up menu of most cameras you'll find an option that enables you to automatically rotate images according to whether they are taken in horizontal or upright format. Turning this function on can save you loads of time rotating images once you've downloaded them to your computer later.
08 Check file format and size
For the best quality, you'd normally shoot most images at the highest resolution available, and save them in raw format or the highest quality JPEG setting. But remember that you don't always need to use these settings for shots that you only want to use on-screen or print at small sizes. By choosing a smaller image size you can save space on your memory card, and time resizing your shots later.
09 Assign buttons
The function of most of the buttons on your camera will be set from the factory, but did you know that you can often customise the function of individual buttons, giving quick access to frequently-used settings and saving time wading through menus.
On Canon EOS cameras, like the 1100D, you can assign different functions to the SET button, such as image quality, ISO or flash Exposure Compensation. A similar range of options is available for the function (Fn) button on many Nikon DSLRs. Button customisation may seem a faff, but can save bags of time.
10 My Menu settings
Many cameras allow you to customise the menu so that the most used or useful adjustments are quickly available in their own menu page. So if there are particular features, such as Picture Styles or in-camera effects, that you use regularly, load them all into the My Menu page. Some lower-end models, such as the Nikon D3100, have a recent settings page. This shows the 20 most recently used settings, but you can't fully customise this menu.
