I really enjoyed reading your letter in the September issue: A cut the crap guide to midlife friendship. I am 52 years old and have 2 kids in high school. Many of the friends that I had when my kids were younger are no longer my friends. The friends that require constant attention, have the kids that do no wrong and appear to have the perfect life, are the ones to stay away from. Unfortunately I had to learn that the hard way. I hope at 52 I have become a little smarter. Now I am trying to pass some of this information along to my 16 year old daughter (also information on boys to stay away from). I don't know if she will listen to me at this point in her life, but maybe later she will look back and think that her Mom was right about some things.
Thanks and love the magazine,
Nancy Talkington, Houston, TX
I just read your letter regarding midlife friendship. It was interesting, because the friends I have made in my midlife are my closest friends. We became friends through work connections: I am an orthopedic surgeon, Joan is a neurosurgeon, and Kathleen is a pediatric anesthesiologist in South Jersey. We are all in our late 40's and have been friends for 10 years. When we first met, we all hit it off because we have crazy hectic lives that other people can't really relate to: 2 of us own our own practices, 2 of us have 4 kids and an ex-husband each, one of us has 2 kids, one of us has a child with special needs and we have all had our most recent child in our mid-forties. We are all heads of the household, major breadwinners, and love to have fun. We have travelled together- our best trip was to Vegas where we were mistaken for "ladies of the evening"! We go through thick and thin together, and are there to emotionally support each other. We have a girl's weekend every summer where we go down the shore and have fun adventures, and discuss things like what drives us to keep going, and where our next trip will be (we are going to Greece/Turkey to celebrate our 50th birthdays!).
Thanks for getting me thinking about how important these friends are to me!

As I just finished reading your editorial, I realized just how true your statements are. I find myself now dragged away from my homeland of the good ole small town USA after many years with lifelong friends to be transported to live in Shanghai, China. Now that my children are no longer childlike, one is actually at NYU, and the other a senior here in high school, I find myself looking for friends outside the "kids zone."
I have learned that life is too short to surround yourself with friends who don't instantly give off the right fit! Like shoes or a great pair of jeans, we look for a good fit, comfort, and flexibility.
Here in China, I have surrounded myself with women of all ages and races who do just that. We find ourselves here in a culture that shifts constantly as people move in and out on average about every 2 years; therefore, we don't waste time on the "fad type jeans."
When we do leave this place in the future, I hope to cling to a lesson learned about friendship, one that you so adequately stated in your column! I have learned that I can make new friends yet I will find the right fit! Thanks for affirming what I have now learned at age (soon to be 50).
Warmest Regards,

Admittedly, I have not heard of More Magazine before and was surprised to find an issue in my mailbox.
While walking up the driveway, while the magazine was still in plastic, I had a feeling I was going to love the magazine for the sheer fact that Diane Lane has, of all things, crow's feet, ON THE COVER. I immediately was intrigued at what this magazine had in store for me as I recently decided to not renew my subscriptions to Glamour and Cosmopolitan.
I work hard to take care of myself and love getting compliments that I look younger than I am. However, I get a constant sense of inadequacy and dissatisfaction with myself after reading Glamour and Cosmopolitan because their models and even the celebrities featured are airbrushed to such perfection that I can't help feeling unhappy with myself because no matter what I do, I cannot get all of my laugh lines and wrinkles to go away and cannot get myself down to a size zero (I am a 10-12) and if I did, I certainly couldn't do it without some stretch marks and cellulite spots, of which nothing of the sort show in the magazines. Does it make sense for me to basically subscribe to self esteem issues and feeling inadequate? I decided at 35, there is too much else to worry about, I don't need to struggle with my self esteem on top of all else life has to offer.
I have not even made it through your whole magazine yet, but I like what I see and I like the sense of camaraderie and understanding of where mid 30's and older women are in life and what is important to them. I hope I continue to feel good about myself as I finish the second half of More.
I don't think that I am much different than other women out there. I want to spend time reading a piece of journalism that makes me feel like there are other women out there, especially celebrities, who battle the same issues I have as we mature. I want to put down my copy and feel sad that I have to wait another month, like I used to when I could more relate to the early twenty issues, relationship matters and career events that were important to me when subscribing to Glamour and Cosmo. Now those magazines make me feel like I have a ton of work to do on myself, that I need to start another new diet, re-think my entire wardrobe, start saving for plastic surgery...
I understand that maybe the average public person doesn't necessarily want to see a swimsuit model with severe cellulite, weight issues and stretch marks. I understand that part of society. It is a reality, but maybe we don't even need to see that at all in magazines. What I do love is that we all age, no matter what we try to do to stop it or how much time or money we invest. Why does that fact have to be hidden in the media? Thank you for keeping it real.
Please keep up the good work and I will be subscribing. I have many friends who I think are going to be refreshed and excited about this as well.
Thank you!

Oh my goodness. What a great end of the day to come home to my September issue of More and read your page 22. Reality is: I have nine girlfriends who came back together in our late 40's after being friends since fourth grade. Today, school started in Dallas:-/(. Our kids are now in college, married, working, or in the military, and since we came back together, there has not been a dull moment. Sadly as it is, some are divorcing, some are becoming grandmothers for the first time, and some are questioning life in general. And may I add that my one and only daughter graduated from college in May 2011, married in November of the same year, and is now teaching kids with special needs to live on their own. Whaaa!
And my grandma name she wants to name me is "Grandma Wrinkles." Really?? I'm successful. I have worked 30-plus years through a male-dominated company and was recently named Vice President (second female in our company history). Now I'm questioning if I should run for the board of directors of my company or do I look at some nice beach where my grandkids can come visit someday and call me G'dub
(a cool way to reference Grandma Wrinkles)?
Anyway, I'm only on page 22 and felt the crazy urge to share what is going on in this 50-something life and nine girls coming back together after so many years apart.. I thank God every day and night for bringing us back together. We are conquering 50-plus, one day at a time.
Thank you MORE!

I am writing to apologize for my recent very angry survey answers. It has been bothering me since I hit "send," As there is no way I can retract my answers, I decided to go through the book again, as you had asked us to do in the survey.
When I read "vent" and "positive OR negative," I was carried away. I overreacted and some of what I said is untrue. For instance, I DO continue to recommend MORE to friends. I was reacting because usually, I love every page of MORE and was just a little disappointed in this issue (for the first time). I apologize and here's the way I really feel:
To begin with, I LOVED your letter and it has given me REAL food for thought and I have already made a few phone calls to reach out. Thank you for that wake up call.
I always love "Notebook" and sometimes tweet your excellent factoids (and give MORE credit). The Elizabeth Shue interview was typical smart MORE reporting.
Everything was fine until I got to "Talk Back" (Is Siri sexist?). I expected it to be funny, but it just seemed dumbed-down and ho-hum.
In the survey I submitted online, I complained about Stylebook – only because I disliked the cocoon coat, the peplum top, and the winter floral dress. (It is not MORE's fault that those clothes are not my style).
I LOVED the Soul Cycle story – so well written and it dealt with the Zuckerman issue honestly.
Then I read Joyce Maynard, which I didn't feel, was her best writing, and there was no real resolution. (I bet she had the drink). I had to ask myself, if it wasn't a famous author and that story was submitted on spec, would you have published it? (I decided no, you would not have).
"Into the Woods" for some reason didn't grab me – I kept skimming expecting to latch on – but I couldn't find my way in. Again, not your fault. Just my personal preferences.
I loved both the Diane Lane and Patti Hansen profiles. Then I complained about the "Swept Away" simply because none of the jewelry was my taste.
I thought parts of "The Next Big Leap for Women," were brilliant, but the conclusion didn't do enough (or maybe that was the point?)
I thought Vaginas Rule was really really smart on your part.
I only skimmed "Better off," because I don't have female children and have such a wonderfully rich and full life that it couldn't hold my interest.
Thank you for printing the story of Katie Monroe – what she is doing is SO important.
Then, when I read the foot article and saw that the writer gave ONLY surgery as a solution to Morton's Neuroma, I was furious. The WORSE thing anyone can do is have that surgery because the scar tissue can often be more painful than the surgery itself. Why didn't she write about the alcohol shots (guided by imagery) which is safer; and instead of being on crutches (as I was the first time I had surgery), with the alcohol shots, I simply walked out of the doctor's office – not even limping.
And finally I got angry with "In praise of Vanity" because I've read articles on the same subject so much better written and also smart and funny. Again, this is personal taste.
So that's it – I will continue to devour the magazine and recommend it to my friends; and knowing me, I'll probably continue to rant and rave whenever you give me a chance.
All the best,
Margie Goldsmith
Re: SEP letter from the editor
Fantabulous! And credit to you for learning from P.
Good to be reading More again.
Oh My!!! Where do I even begin?! I just read your wonderful and enlightening article "A cut-the-crap guide to midlife friendship" and it just summed my last year up in a nutshell! I've just gone through a whole new 'shift' in the friendship department realizing I've outgrown the "friends you can't really depend on". It's so sad when you can't even come together for even just a few short hours of a women's dinner, shopping, or movie out. If they need to constantly cancel or bail on you at the last minute several times before you can even meet for just a coffee... is it really worth it?? Sometimes, yes.
I get that life happens and everyone's schedules and lives are different... but whatever happened to busy women and lives, but still being there for your friends?
And in that... I've decided that I just need new friends who also share the same belief in that we love our husbands, and our children, but we need to get away every once in a while and just be women too! They will survive for a couple of hours without you... I promise! But with that comes the arduous search for new friends... and though it is easier to get over yourself than it was when we were teenagers... the initial ice breaking is still a little unnerving. And though it's also easier now being older to pick up right away on whether you're "compatible" or not, it can still be an intimidating task.... though one that will hopefully pay off in the long run with a new best bud (or several for that matter).
So thank you for your words of wisdom... and really hitting home! Bring on the new friends!
Stacy F.
Thought the entire issue was warm and fuzzy good. Your overview Letter "A cut-the-crap guide to midlife friendship" was at least in my little opinion the most needed and compelling. For some reason, the closer women get to 55 and older, the sooner too many start spending excessive energy on how soon they can retire, their grandchildren and an abundance of other excuses. Not realizing this destructive self-behavior destroys friendships. For many, not realizing terminating a friendship is right up there with divorce. Thank Heavens for not having to go through the process. For the person realizing there is no longer the common interest once shared, it is exceedingly difficult to vanish from the former friendship. To the person that simply does not understand why the friendship ended or slips into complete denial to the facts, it becomes a mental roadblock.
As a professional, I have had to distance myself from certain former professionals as they aged. I have spent countless amount of time trying to explain some of the reasons women lose friendships as they get older. Many just don't think it out. Therefore, they don't get it. As one gets older, finding a close acquaintance that can carry on a worthy conversation can be a challenge. Consider yourself fortunate to have a great helper with the art.
Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed your experiment to see if Siri responds to men and women differently, but in her choice of song ("Daisy, Daisy"), she is not as clueless as you think! It was a clever nod to the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey" where HAL (the computer - a distant relative?) sings that song as he is being powered down. No wonder Martin Scorsese has a crush on Siri - she's a film buff!

I didn't want to send feedback via the sweepstakes, because I don't want to have my email and cell number on marketing lists, as per the privacy agreement. But I did want to send some thoughts! So I hope it's ok for me to just email my thoughts like this.
I turned 30 last November and somehow started receiving More magazine right away (I didn't subscribe and I don't know of anyone who signed me up). A little about me, since it may be helpful background: I am not married (yet), have no kids (yet), graduated from Harvard college, live in an apartment in Manhattan with my dog and have a demanding career. At some point I will probably get married, have kids, move to a house and worry about how to pay for college, but realistically I'm nowhere close to that right now. I'm into skin care - including makeup and anti-aging preventative measures - and fashion to a certain extent. I also read and buy a lot of books. I'm athletic: I climb high altitude mountains on vacation, rocks on the weekends, I bike to work and I love the gym.
My general feedback is this - I feel like More magazine doesn't quite know what it wants to be. Is it for 30-something professionals? Moms in their 40s? Stylish women in their 60s? It almost seems like the magazine is trying to be something to everyone for women between the ages of 30 and 70. I find only about 15% of each issue relates to me. (My 62-year-old mother, on the other hand, likes your magazine very much.)
More specific feedback is as follows:
The good stuff:
1) Role models:
I always appreciate reading about other successful women and in each More issue, I wind up liking the cover interview and (especially) the one-pager 'this is what (x age) looks like.' I also like that the magazine features women in their 40s, 50s, an 60s - I love seeing what paths these women have taken, what I might be able to expect at those ages, how I might be able to balance career and family, and what choices these women made that I might have to make someday. I also like that your magazine specifically chooses older women to feature since in much of the media, women disappear after a certain age even though they are more accomplished, have more interesting stories and have made more impact than their younger counterparts.
2) General interest blurbs:
Occasionally the fashion pieces have interesting bags, skirts, etc. Also, I like that the magazine has book and music reviews, recipes (although I don't really cook - I always think I might though! And I love Mark Bittman) and bits of health/science reporting.
The not-as-good stuff:
1) The 'don't worry, honey, you look great'/'this will hide your problem areas so no one will see what you really look like!' tone implying the women in the audience think they *don't* look great:
One of the first things I noticed in a previous issue was the overuse of the word 'still' in several pieces about skin care and fashion (something along the lines of 'you're still not in terrible shape, so you can still consider wearing something like this!' or 'you still have decent skin tone, so you don't need these kinds of products yet'). Also, much of the fashion advice is about covering up flaws. I find this tone to be extremely annoying - it assumes that I'm unhappy with the way I look and want to hide or fix things. Don't get me wrong - I'm as into the science behind anti-oxidant moisturizers as the next female. But I don't spend my mornings in front of the mirror tearing myself apart. Or my shopping sprees thinking about what clothes are best to hide in.
2) Generally unrelatable articles to my demographic:
In this issue 'is your hair aging you?' is wasted pages that I just flip over. I don't have 'multiplying grays', 'helmet hair' or 'granny bun'. And I'm not looking for a hair stylist who is the 'cheapest surgeon you'll find' (who's thinking about age-correcting plastic surgery in their 30s?) I don't know who Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman is so I don't know what it means that no stylist endorses her look.
In another example, the author discusses issues with her feet. The are bits and pieces of this article that are relatable (mentioning what women can do to avoid problems is relatable and 'do you need an orthotic' isn't age specific) but for the most part I skim through this and say 'don't have that, don't have that, don't have that...' So this is only a useful article to me in that it shows me what is in store for me ten to twenty years down the road.
I hope this is helpful in some way!
I am surprised that your writing staff was too young to remember the reference used by Apple's Siri in your article, Is Siri sexist? on page 36 of the September 2012 issue. Daisy, Daisy was the song sung by the HAL 9000 computer as it was disassembled at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey; So, YES! Siri WAS programmed by a man.

Grand America Chef Jeffrey de Leon digs in to his fantasy dessert.
The holidays are a time of indulgence, and nothing is more indulgent than a fantastic dessert. We asked some of Utah's best bakers to create their fantasy dessert for us—and offer a few tips for making our own homemade desserts look a little dreamier.
Jeffrey de Leon
La Bonne Vie, Grand America, 555 S. Main St., SLC, 801-258-6554
A vision of precision, de Leon's fantasy dessert is an architectural construction of pastry arts. Hazelnut cake layered with gianduja ganache and hazelnut mousse rests on a chocolate cookie base with raspberry truffles supporting a ginger cookie flying saucer dusted with sugar snow surrounding a sweet sculpture of chocolate bark and spun sugar spirals. It's garnished with edible silver leaf and fresh raspberries. As complicated as this dessert is, de Leon says you don't need specialized training to make your desserts showstoppers.
Tips from the Chef:
Always use fresh fruit. It's the best way to get bright colors in your desserts.
Think about proportion, and figure out a way to get dramatic height.
For a breathtaking but expensive-looking touch, garnish with small amounts of edible gold or silver leaf. Find it online at cheftools.com.
Use pre-made sweets as garnishes: cookie halves, chocolate morsels and candy.
Plan your decorations and apply them precisely. Consider your creation from all angles.

Making a clear-cut mulcher decision
Rear discharge decks provide a level, uniform cut and evenly distribute clippings behind the mower. 29 hp Model 329B Big Block with 4X Rear Discharge is available in 52-, 61-, and 72-inch deck options.
The Grasshopper Co.
Horizontal drum mulching attachments help extend the versatility of existing tractors in a public works fleet. The Loftness Tree Hammer is available with a shear bar, which helps increase efficiency and produces finer particle sizes of mulched material.
Horizontal drum mulchers can be pushed or pulled behind a tractor for mulching. The Loftness Tree Hammer features a unique chamber shape to enhance the chipping and shredding process. Photo: Loftness

A variety of teeth options are available to meet mulching needs. Loftness introduced a breakthrough in cutting teeth with its patented swinging hammer design, which features individually replaceable hammers for easy maintenance.
Hydrostatic tractor transmissions are beneficial for slowly driving the mulching head into tough material such as thick trees. The Loftness Tree Hammer includes a four-groove banded belt drive for a smooth transfer of power to the mulching head.
Depending on size, class, features, and components, a zero-turn mower costs $3,000 to $10,000. Mid-mounts work well on open, straight-away areas; front-mounts offer more versatility when trees, fences, or other obstacles necessitate secondary trimming. Rear discharge decks like this 29 hp Grasshopper Co. 329B Big Block provide a level, uniform cut and evenly distribute clippings behind the mower. Available in 52-inch, 61-inch, and 72-inch deck options.
When it comes to right-of-way and land clearing, few machines offer the versatility, performance, and safety of power take-off (PTO)-driven horizontal drum mulchers. With the right cutting teeth and drive system, they can be pushed or pulled behind a tractor to mulch thick grass, brush, and trees to about 10 inches in diameter.
The material you will be mulching dictates whether to use swinging-hammer or fixed cutting teeth. (See photos below). Each requires a different rotor configuration.
Swinging hammer teeth are like heavy-duty flails; they swing freely on the rotor and use centrifugal force to produce a powerful cutting action. One frustration with this design is maintenance. On early models, each row of hammers rotated on a single shaft. Therefore, if one hammer needed to be replaced, all hammers in that row had to be removed. Also, the shaft was often almost impossible to remove because of rust, damage, or wear.
Individually replaceable hammers are the answer to this problem. One manufacturer, Loftness, developed a system that doesn't significantly increase price. Each hammer can be taken on and off in a matter of minutes so replacement can be done easily in the field.
Major benefit: the design's forgiveness; if one hammer suddenly strikes a rock or large tree, it will buckle rather than staying rigid and stopping the rotor. This forgiveness makes swinging hammers suited for less-experienced operators.
Recommended tractor size: Ideal for less than 105 horsepower because small tractors don't have the power needed to keep a rigid-tooth rotor spinning through tough material such as thick trees.
Recommended application: trees and brush less than 6 inches in diameter. Although they are capable of mulching larger trees, the process may take longer because the hammers are likely to give way under the heavy load rather than maintain the ideal cutting angle.
Fixed teeth are made of standard carbide or hardened steel so, unlike swinging hammers, they have no give. They always stay at the optimum cutting angle, and there are no moving parts to wear.
Recommended tractor size: 105 horsepower or more.
Recommended application: trees and brush 6 to 10 inches in diameter.
Benefits of standard carbide teeth: durability and cost efficiency, based on longer life. They are made to withstand moderate rock contact without breaking, and they don't require sharpening. The downside of the standard tooth is its chisel point with rounded top prevents it from working as quickly as teeth with sharper edges.
Benefits of hardened steel: a sharp edge, allowing them to mulch trees and brush more effectively than other types of cutting teeth. They require less power and leave a finer finished product. The blades are reversible, but they require routine grinding to enjoy the advantages of a sharp tool.
For those who want the combination of a sharp edge and low maintenance, check out planer carbide tips. They aren't as sharp as hardened steel or as durable as standard carbide teeth, but they can be extremely effective in loamy soils with few rocks present.
Counter teeth, which are welded inside the housing to enhance the grinding performance, are the norm, but some units are available with a shear bar.
Other options are a push bar and hydraulic mulching door. The push bar is typically offered with either manual or hydraulic adjustment, and it is used to push standing trees away from the tractor as they are being mulched. The mulching door is usually offered with manual or hydraulic adjustment.
The final options for selecting horizontal drum mulchers revolve around the drive system. Although PTO drives are known for reliability, some features can further reduce maintenance. For instance, an automatic belt tensioner eliminates the need to routinely adjust tension as the belt wears. The automatic tensioner uses a spring-loaded system to ensure smooth, consistent power transfer and maximize belt life.
Also, the mulchers come standard with a single belt drive but usually have a second drive as an option. The second drive is reserved for tractors with at least 125 horsepower.
PTO-driven horizontal drum mulchers offer safety features such as a discharge trajectory that is more controlled than on alternative mulching equipment. The operator can better control where the material will be discharged, rather than risk having debris fly into unwanted areas.

Hi there,
Oour company has used LAPACK in our Fortrain application. I don't know much about LAPACK and the person who implemented LAPACK source files
into our fortran code is not here anymore. Recently, I started to check if we can improve our application computational speed. Then I found out PLASMA, which I think may increase our application performace. We want to implement PLASMA in our source code.
I have some very basic questions:
(1) our current source code contains the following CGETF2,CGETRF,CGETRS,XERBLA,CGERU,CTRSM, CSCAL, and CSWAP from LAPACK.
According to what I read, I need optimized BLAS to achive the performance, eg Intel MKL. However, intel MKL does not have highly optimized source codes available for CSCAL, CSWAP, CGERU, and CTRSM. Do you know where I can find source codes for optimized BLAS?
(2) I also download source codes from plasma 2.0.0. There are several folders insde.Where are LAPACK's equivalent source codes of CGETF2, CGETRF and CGETRS?
Many thanks, Maria

Gardening Articles: Care :: Soil, Water, & Fertilizer
Soil for Seed Starting (page 3 of 3)
by Jack Ruttle
Where to Buy
You can buy mixes in three very different places. Superstores with gardening sections will have a wide choice of brand names and will offer smaller packages. At local nurseries and garden centers, the choice in brand names will narrow, but there will be a full line of soils, some of them in larger sizes.
At a retail nursery that produces at least some of its own plants from seed or cuttings, you have the narrowest but perhaps best choice of all: the mixes that professional growers use themselves. Very often the owner will sell a bale or large bag. These materials cost from $8 (for a 40-pound bag) to $14 (for a 70-pound bale) wholesale. So even if you pay twice that, you are getting a tremendous bargain if you can find a grower willing to sell some, and increasingly many growers will do that.
If you keep the bag tightly closed and protected from the rain, the material will keep well for more than one season. The plastic covering on commercial-sized bags and bales is usually treated with ultraviolet light inhibitors, giving the material about a one-year life when stored in the open. But all materials should be kept closed tight to keep out disease organisms and maintain the moisture level of the material in the bag, which should be just very slightly moist.
Making Your Own Seed-Germination Mix
The quality of professional seed-starting and growing mixes is so high that there is little reason for anyone to bother with the dusty job of mixing their own. Still, if you somehow can't find a good one to buy, the recipe for a peat-lite mix is very simple: Make the blend between half and three-quarters milled sphagnum peat moss and the rest horticultural-grade vermiculite. For maximum air circulation and water drainage, substitute perlite for half the vermiculite.
If the peat is coarse or lumpy, break up clods and take out large pieces with your hands, or use a 1/4-inch screen. Mix in some dolomitic limestone, at the rate of five pounds per cubic yard of mix. It's important to incorporate the lime thoroughly through the mix. At least one day before you plan to plant, sprinkle the mix with water to allow it time to permeate the peat. Rather than trying to mix in fertilizer, it's better to wait until seedlings are up and then begin feeding with a nutrient solution right away.

What About Teak? (page 3 of 7)
by Yuri Bihun
Plantation Teak
Also on Java, plantation teak after about 25 years.
Extensive plantations of teak were established on the island of Java in Indonesia over a century ago. Originally, most of Java, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, was covered by primary forest. The Dutch East Indies Company began exploiting Java's natural teak stands shortly after its arrival in 1596 to support ship and housing construction. Despite intense agricultural pressure, large stands of primary forest remained intact until several hundred years ago. The pattern of uncontrolled exploitation continued until the close of the nineteenth century when planned and coordinated management was instituted. Kingsley-Bate, Ltd., one of America's leading manufacturers of teak outdoor furniture, was the first American company to use Javanese plantation teak in the manufacture of export-quality, outdoor furniture in the early 1980s.
Many of the major distributors of teak advertise their products as "plantation grown," implying that it does not come from a primary forest and, therefore, does not contribute to the problems associated with tropical deforestation. Because most of the island of Java was cleared for agriculture hundreds of years ago, deforestation and conversion of primary natural forest to plantation is not the central environmental issue. Traditionally, teak plantations are not established from seedlings but planted with teak cuttings called "stumps. " Teak is typically planted at a lower density than other fast growing species to take advantage of traditional agroforestry techniques such as interplanting annual row crops of soybeans or cassava, which are tended by peasant farmers every year until the shade from canopy closure makes further farming impossible. The traditional agroforestry system is called "tungyua" and has been implemented in agricultural development and reforestation projects around the world.
According to Jeff Hayward, forester and SmartWood Asia Pacific Coordinator, there are some environmental issues relating to forest management such as road building, protection of streams and use of pesticides. "However," noted Jeff, after a recent trip to Indonesia, "these are secondary problems associated with plantation grown teak. The primary problem with teak is complex and revolves around issues such as illegal harvesting of teak plantations and the social inequities with the exploitation of teak." According to public relations material, manufacturers and distributors will routinely claim that the Indonesian government allows the felling of a limited number of trees each year, and ensures that an equal amount of reforestation takes place. "This is not quite true," he notes derisively. "The rotation age for plantation teak is relatively long for a tropical species-60- to 80 years." Timber theft," he continues, "by organized syndicates and individuals reduces allowable stocking and introduces social injustice and criminal elements that cast a shadow on the sustainable production of plantation teak."

Reviews for Simple Lemon Fruit Dip
"Made this one for the first time last night. When I first made it I have to admit that it tasted..... A little funky. However, I let it sit over night in the fridge and found that in the morning it was fantastic. I saw that some did not care of the taste and I wonder if not letting the flavors kind of marinate together for a period of time was the difference."
"I joined this site with the express purpose to warn others NOT to make this recipe. Made it for a party and could not serve it...inedible with a very artificial taste from the instant pudding. I should've known better when I saw that as an ingredient. Used yogurt, honey, with touch of cinammon instead.Do yourself a favor and don't waste time or ingredients on this one. Nasty stuff."
"So simple and yet so good. Wonderful with strawberries."
"Will try this tomorrow ! Made something similar tonight before seeing this recipe. Yoplait greek yogurt (individual size) Cool Whip, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest . Yummy !"
"Very good. It is so nice for a summer evening (or any time of year!). Lemon is yummy, but I'm sure many flavors would be good too."

The inducible LEXSY enables tight control of protein expression analogous to the well-known bacterial T7 RNA polymerase/TET repressor architecture. Expression is switched on by addition of an inducer (tetracycline) and thereby alleviates potential toxicity issues of an expressed protein. Further, it was shown for a number of intracellular proteins that inducible expression achieves 5 - 10-fold higher yields than constitutive expression. Selection is performed with the antibiotics LEXSY Neo or LEXSY Bleo. Expression vectors with both alternative markers can be introduced into the same cell for co-expression of two proteins.
The 3rd generation of genome-integrated inducible LEXSY now allows convenient co-expression of the protein of interest with BleCherry conferring both, antibiotic resistance for selection with the antibiotic LEXSY Bleo as well as visible fluorescence under daylight as a direct read out for protein production.
- pLEXSY_I expression vector of choice
- pLEXSY_I-EGFP control vector
- LEXSY host T7-TR as glycerol stocks
- all components for preparation of 1 L LEXSY BHI medium
- all selective antibiotics for 1 L medium
- primer sets for insert sequencing and diagnostic PCR

"A family favorite. All 11 of us enjoy this dish."
"I also used the fresh mushrooms, sauteed them a little bit before adding to the dish. It was very tasty!"
"This was not the least bit good. Would'nt even consider trying it again."
"This was wonderful! I used fresh mushrooms (sauteed for a little while before putting with the chicken), and used mozzarella instead of provolone because that's what I had on hand. It was just absolutely terrific! Great company meal, too. Thanks for sharing - it's a wonderful recipe."
"i've had this recipe for awhile, always meaning to make it. i'm sorry i waited so long! it was GREAT! everyone loved it even the kids. the only thing i did differently was that i used sliced provolone cheese and used fresh mushrooms. AWESOME! i will make this often!!!"

Culvert rehabilitation in three easy steps
Fifty-four-inch tunnel liner plates were used to stabilize the culvert structurally.
AP/M Permaform
The corrugated metal was lined with four-part steel rings, each 18 inches wide, which were then sprayed with high-strength cementitious grout for a smooth, watertight finish.
The 66-inch culvert collapsed even further between quote and award. There were completely corroded inverts and sidewalls curling up into the interior.
Lake City, in Clayton County, Ga., is part of the Atlanta metro core and parts are very densely populated. More to the point, and like most urban areas, density has increased in most areas, and new construction has overgrown some existing underground assets. This makes rehabilitation of existing infrastructure a challenging proposition.
This was certainly the case when the Forest Parkway culvert failed. The 66-inch corrugated metal pipe was 20 feet deep, 220 feet long, and failing so dramatically, that parking lots and commercial buildings overhead were subsiding noticeably and had to be monitored throughout subsequent rehabilitation. Inspection revealed completely corroded inverts, sidewalls that were curling up into the pipe interior, and some collapsed pipe.
After discovery, the failure accelerated. "From quote to award, the culvert had collapsed even further," says Anita Clyne, president of Utility Asset Management Inc. of Reynolds, Ga., a licensed utility contractor specializing in trenchless technologies for manhole and sewer construction and rehabilitation. "That's when we realized typical procedures wouldn't be enough for this project."
"It wasn't a surprise," agrees Terry Moy, PE, program management and engineering manager for the Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) and an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers' Pipeline Division. "We'd identified it for rehabilitation a year before and were working through access and business impacts with property owners, but increased storm runoff accelerated the migration of the backfill around the pipe. This eliminated the possibility of a cured-in-place solution."
Surprise or not, it was almost a worst-case scenario:
Eventually, Utility Asset Management developed a two-phase procedure that was slow and difficult, but effective.
Owner: Clayton County Water Authority, Ga.
What: Trenchless reconstruction of 66-inch corrugated metal pipe
Technology: Centrifugally cast concrete pipe (CCCP)
Vendor: AP/M Permaform
Installation: Utility Asset Management Inc., Reynolds, Ga.
Project cost: $400,000
"First, we had to cut out curled-in pieces of the old culvert by hand," Clyne says. "Then we assembled the liner plates inside the culvert section by section. Basically, we were building a new pipe 18 inches at a time. Meanwhile, cars and trucks were driving by in the parking lot above us."
The liner plates' four arched sections were bolted together manually. Each completed section created a new 18-inch safe zone for workers, who then repeated the process 146 times.
After the new, bolted-together "tunnel" was completed, the void between the liner plates and what was left of the existing pipe was filled with injected grout—and yes, that was expensive. It was tedious work in a cramped space but it was safe and effective. The phase was completed without injury and no further subsidence of overhead buildings. The culvert was at least stable.

The improvements to the berm and walkways on the north side of Autzen will be constructed in a manner that will provide better access and safety for fans entering and exiting the stadium. The existing pedestrian ramps, which were built with the original stadium, will be removed and the berm will be reshaped to provide pathways that are universally accessible.
Broad stairways placed at multiple locations will improve foot traffic. With the elevation change from street level to the concourse, the project creates walkways, stairs and terraces, along with seating walls within the landscapes to ensure an enjoyable experience during ingress and egress from the north side of Autzen.
In addition to the circulation improvements, the entire north side will incorporate enhanced landscapes and spectator amenities, providing a sharp new look for fans and passers-by on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The inspiration for these features is a "Pacific Northwest" landscape. Most of the plant material used will be native to the region, comprised of large conifer trees, ferns, Oregon grape, vine maples and native groundcovers. Spectator gathering and resting places along the pathways will be incorporated into these landscapes. These waysides include seating and drinking fountains while offering exceptional views of the Autzen complex, the Willamette Valley and the surrounding foothills of both the Cascade and Coastal mountain ranges.
In addition to native landscapes, many sustainable elements will be incorporated into the project such as recycled materials, storm water treatment landscapes, drip irrigation and energy efficient lighting.
The initiative responds to the needs outlined in a spring 2012 independent consultant report and addresses the ingress and egress at Autzen Stadium as congestion issues increased with increased attendance.
The updates, which will not impact the seating capacity, are generously being funded by a private donation. No University or public funds have been or will be used in the design or construction of the modifications.

Hotbodies undertail zx6r
Ok well the undertail looks great right out of the bag, but there where some issues , 1st It was missing hardware right out of the bag, ( nuts bolts) good thing I had some laying around, 2nd the cut- out for the taillight was not symmetrical to the taillight had to actually modify the tail a little so the light would set properly 3rd the paint looks good just be very gentle with it or it will come right off as it did mine in two spots Now for the good, the tail is one of the best looking tails around that I could find, the lights are superb, and the overal directions and the installation was easy enough very straight forward, except for the few hiccups I guess you. Could say

Product ok. A lot of money for unfinished product
This product fits ok. I have a 2012 Ninja 250. I am a little disappointed that none of the wires are affixed to anything and you have to tape them down, or just let them flop around inside. On a bigger/safety note, the LEDS will not blink. I need to buy LED wiring to make the blinkers blink. All in all, the product does look good from the outside, but I think could've been a little less expensive.

Nice rear!!!!
2008 CBR1000RR YOU SHOULD TO WATCH THE VIDEO's. Very Helpful. The part fits really good, it's a nice little project for the winter. The difference between the stock refeuler and the hotbodies undertail was night and day. Looks sick!!! The only issue, and reason it didn't get a 5 star rating was because the color didn't match perfectly. The color code is under the stock back seat...does not compute!?!?!

Perfect Fix
For the first time I bought a brand new bike and had to make modifications myself this time. This product was the PERFECT FIX for my first MOD to my bike. It's easy installation provided me the motivation to continue to make more modifications to the bike. I hope I have as much luck as I had with this product.

Great undertail
The undertail fits perfectly with the fairings, it gives a uniform clean race look to the bike. However the inside of the undertail is not painted and the wires not really attached, it isn't seen but some peeps like a clean look from in to out. the ABS qualitly is reliable, and the LEDs are bright enough it be seen during the day in town. I would recommend this product as i was highly satisfied with it.

the "factory" color is not too good close but no cigar and to install it need few mods and the instructions mide as well been for a differnt model not to specific


text: "First I would like to say how grateful I am for the opportunity to make music and records with Rick Denko, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, and Richard Manuel. I'm convinced now, as I was then, that nobody in the world could sing and play the songs that I wrote with as much believability and soulfulness as they have. It's an honor to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, just to be mentioned alongside the recording artists that have been such a tremendous influence upon us. Muddy and Elvis and Chuck and Buddy and Ray, and Mahalia Jackson, who I hope will be acknowledged next year. We should thank Ronnie Hawkins for being so instrumental in us coming together, and for teaching us the code of the road, so to speak. Bob Dylan for not caving in when we were being booed everywhere we played. I mean, just about everybody was saying "Get rid of these guys." He didn't budge. I'd like to thank Capitol Records for gambling on a band with no name, Moe Austin for supporting The Last Waltz, David Geffen for helping reunite Bob and the Band, and Albert Grossman for his kitchen, and his guidance, and for actually starting the whole Woodstock thing. If it wasn't for Albert, the festival might have been called "Poughkeepsie." The "Poughkeepsie" generation; it just doesn't quite have the same ring to it. I'd like to thank my friend Martin Scorcese for lending his filmmaking genius to The Last Waltz. And of course, all the great artists who performed in the film, and Eric Clapton, for being so gracious to induct us this evening. Most of all, I'd like to thank my wife Dominique, who's been patiently putting up with me for 27 years, and our three children, Alexandra, Delphine, and Sebastian, for being the truest inspiration in my life. Thank you."

ZF-2562: Create interfaces for the various Zend_Form classes
Currently, Zend_Form has only concrete classes. For issues of composition and extendibility, we should have one or more interfaces which can be used to create alternate implementations.
Base interface covering shared functionality of all class types
Form interface
Display Group Interface
Element interface
SubForm interface
The interfaces became too bloated and complex to be usable. While there were a finite number of methods required for each, there were also issues with multiple interfaces interfering with each other (e.g., Iterator, Zend_Form_Interface), and the fact that Zend_Form itself implemented all but the Element and DisplayGroup interfaces in order to keep the current API.
Closing as "Won't Fix".

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Trees, Shrubs, & Vines
A Rose Guru's Garden
by Ann Hooper
The 1997 All-America Rose Selection 'Scentimental' was created by Tom Carruth.
During a trip to sunny Los Angeles, this Boston-based rosarian was delighted to be invited to visit the home garden of Tom Carruth and his partner, John Furman. Carruth, director of research at Weeks Roses in Upland, California, is the cream of this country's very small crop of young professional rose hybridizers, with a number of popular new varieties to his credit. His red-and-white-striped floribunda, 'Scentimental', is an All-America Rose Selection for 1997, and last spring, gardeners snapped up every available plant of this unique, fragrant rose.
So one would think that his home garden -- in Altadena, just north of Pasadena -- would be rose heaven. But surprisingly, roses are in the minority in their small but exquisite garden (less than a quarter acre in all), with only Carruth and Furman's favorite varieties of roses. But they are, of course, grown to California perfection.
Both Carruth and Furman are expert horticulturists who have an interest in nearly all types of plants. They specialize in searching out the unusual, and their extensive travels throughout the United States have allowed them to find some rare specimens. Every inch of space is used, creating a cozy enclosure for their Spanish-Mediterranean house. The gardens in front and in back of the house, and on both sides as well, are densely planted, but with a wonderful feeling of organization and a natural flow from one area to another.
One inescapable truth about avid gardeners is that they fall in love with plants that won't grow in their local climate. True to form, not only did I fall in love with nearly every tender-in-my-climate plant I observed, but I also envied the architecture and artistic blending of form, color, and texture in the gardens. Furman, who teaches drama at the California State University at Northridge, is largely responsible for the artistry. He has an enviable ability to create moods and feelings in the garden, especially a sense of humor. For instance, instead of a gazing globe, his garden features a "gouging globe," a barbed wire sphere by a prominent western artist.

I first heard of Sucre back when I was still writing for CandyAddict. I was given a sampler of their bonbons to review for the site. Needless to say, I was impressed with their work. Now, fast forward to just a few days ago when I came home from work to find a box of Sucre's newest offerings waiting for me on my doorstep. Valentine's Day came early for me this year.
The exquisitely designed turquoise box holds a sampler of their new "For the Love of Chocolate" Valentines Day collection. A set of three different heart bonbons, each easily distinguishable from one another in milk, dark and white chocolate. They're beautiful to look at; colorful and iridescent. They smell of chocolate, and I was able to find the flavors by looking online: Chic Raspberry, Grand Coeur and Rose.
Red Raspberry (dark chocolate heart filled with raspberry ganache) : A beautiful, deep, sparky maroon color. Gorgeous to look at! It smells deep of dark chocolate with notes of red fruits and coffee. There's no raspberry scent at all. The first bite is so smooth and rich, with only the top shell, which is very thin, having a bit of a crunch to it. The flavor is luxurious with a subtle, authentic raspberry flavor that's very jammy. The chocolate is beautifully mild and sweet, complimenting the raspberry favor so well. It's a delicate, graceful bonbon. The texture is silky, smooth, and it's lovely.
Heart of Rose (white chocolate heart filled with rose water and island vanilla scented white chocolate ganache) : Smells sweet and of plants; part of it reminds me of vanilla and other like leaves. It's not perfumey like rose, but I do get "vegetation" in there. The first bite tastes very cheesy, like a sweet brie. I don't get much in terms of vanilla or rose, but the smooth cheesy flavor is nice. It's interesting how my taste buds read this combination of flavors. I want to eat this with a baguette.
Grand Coeur (milk chocolate ganache infused with orange and triple sec coated in a dark chocolate) : This one has a beautiful copper/bronze color to it. It smells earthy and rich, with a subtle citrus zest to it which immediately gives it awesome points in my book. The flavor is heavenly. This is the purest, most beautiful pairing of chocolate and orange I've had to date. The orange is fresh and zesty, and the triple sec adds that authentic citrus bite and bitterness on the tongue. The chocolate is sweet, creamy and compliments the more tart and bitter qualities of the flavorings. Again the texture is silky smooth and the overall effect is just out of this world. I can't gush enough about how lovely this is.
These hearts are so wonderful I can't decide how to eat them: savor their rich flavors slowly or shove hand fulls into my mouth. I feel the instinct to do both as they're just that delicious. But, in the spirit of the season, I've saved 3/4 of the box to share with my sweetheart.

HE'S MY BROTHER, SHE'S MY SISTER, THE STATE ROOM, Tuesday, April 16, 8 p.m., $15
Among the many labels used to describe the pleasing folk-rock of He's My Brother She's My Sister are "flamboyant folk," "psych-acoustic" and "vaudeville-y," and while those are all more or less accurate, the group led by brother-sister duo Robert and Rachel Kolar really needs to be experienced in person to be appreciated. The alternating boy-girl vocals of the siblings is a great calling card, as is the percussive approach of band drummer Lauren Brown, who is fond of showcasing her tap-dancing skills and using those taps as percussion on some tunes. The band's debut album, Nobody Dances in This Town, was released earlier this year, and they've spent much of the past year on tour with the likes of Neko Case, My Morning Jacket and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. For this headlining show at The State Room, they'll be joined by one of Utah's own tour-happy bands, Desert Noises.

- 82% virgin wool 18% cotton
- Trim: 70% wool 30% rayon
- Geometric Native American design
- Size: 64" X 80"
- Made in the U.S.A
- Dry clean only
The Native Americans had a strong reverence for the natural world. In this blanket, the sun, moon, stars, rain, and clouds represent an honored relationship with the spiritual world of the cosmos. Within the geometric design, there are instances of flora and fauna depicted by corn, squash, beans, tobacco, buffalo, bear, elk, and eagle. Together the images represent a reverence for the natural world. The central image is a sacred circle filled with a cross-- a universal symbol of the origin of humankind and the four directions that guide us on our journey. This blanket holds within itself an important message. Tell your children of this relationship with the earth while snuggling up by the fire during the cold winter months.
During the turn of the 20th Century the Pendleton Blanket legend was born at a woolen mill in Pendleton, Oregon that began producing striking wool blankets with vivid colors and authentic Native American Indian designs for the Umatilla and Cayuse Indian tribes in the Northwest. The combination of beauty, quality, durability and the superior warmth of the wool blankets make them popular for a wide range of outdoor activities and has earned Pendleton a reputation for superb craftsmanship and quality which continues to be a hallmark of the Pendleton Blanket.
