Sex Tourism in Thailand update: In part 1 of the report I set out my thoughts on the thorny issue of where the top destination is in Thailand for naughty boys. Some may disagree, and in time I may even disagree with my own comments, but for the foreseeable future I can't see anywhere replacing Pattaya as the top destination. Click here to go back to Part 1.
Whilst it is difficult to see any other area of Thailand overtaking
Pattaya's Thailand sex tourism industry, it is true that Pattaya is now
attracting many other visitors with completely different interests.
Nearby developing economies are being targeted by the local tourism authorities. The international cuisine, low prices, world class shopping facilities, beach sports, water park, underwater world, scuba diving, tiger park, crocodile farm, floating market, world class golf courses, world class hotel resorts, excursions to nearby islands and so on means that there is something here for everyone. The non-sex tourist is the fastest growing type of visitor to Pattaya these days.
I've already set out my advice on long-term relationships with Pattaya ladies; I've also advised on how to treat the girls if you do partake in the pay-for-pleasure scene (see the links below). I think there are a few extra words of caution to add to this that need to be written regarding the age of the girls.
The legal age of consent in Thailand is 18. In many western countries the age of consent is 16 and this can lead you to think that you will be OK with Thai girls of that age. Not so, suppose you are 19 and have sex with a girl of 16, you can find yourself looking at jail time. This is especially so if the girl's family gets involved and press charges. On the other hand, if the family say all is fine, you won't have any trouble.
It's a tricky situation... suppose you get approval from the family, do the deed, and then the family deny having approved anything - they could blackmail you for money easily! My best advice, stick to girls that are 18+, you will know that they are 18+ because they will have an ID card stating so. It will also guarantee that your girl is not a man! (you need to know what to look for though as it is written in Thai... you can always ask your hotel receptionist to look at it for you!!).
I think the chap in the picture below can relax on this point!
Speaking of hotels, it's a good idea to make sure that your hotel is 'guest friendly' otherwise you might have trouble or extra expense to deal with when taking a lady back to your room. I'm assured that these hotels are all good and welcoming of ladies:

After 2 years of lurking around in newgrounds I finally uploaded my first cartoon here. Here's the toon: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/654996?updated=1 This was made for a contest about reading a while back and I had a deadline so I had to underwhelmingly use limited animation for this. Can't say I'm too proud of my "first cartoon" but hey, at least I finally uploaded something. I would have added more animation, worked back into the backgrounds, and added lipsyncing for this toon but I honestly didn't want to work on this anymore (considering that I already uploaded it for the contest). This is the "unfunny internet version" because the version that I uploaded for the contest 2 weeks ago was plain boring so retooled that version into the cartoon that you can see online today. I'm currently working on more toons (which will be better than this one haha). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it! (or not, I really don't care).

The three-story building that sits on Lexington Street in Rocky Mount doesn't feel like your average child welfare agency. The walls of its cozy offices are adorned with colorful murals and photos of smiling children engaged in busy activities. On one floor there is a demonstration child-care facility –complete with Chuck E. Cheese-like equipment, including a slide and a ball pit– where providers and parents receive on-going training. On another floor, this training is further enhanced by a well-stocked lending library with volumes on parenting and child supervision.
Though quick to characterize it as a collective effort, the Down East Partnership for Children (DEPC) was largely the vision of its founder and executive director, Henrietta Zalkind.
"It's a whole different model," says Zalkind, whose upbeat demeanor is as welcoming as the facility she directs. DEPC was developed to "create a continuum of social services and a bridge linking service providers with each other and with parents." By sharing information about what everyone in our area was doing to help young children" says Zalkind, "we could agree to work together, and collaborate on our long term goals."
While servicing Nash and Edgecombe counties, DEPC's mission is to improve the plight of families and children "through advocating and supporting high quality, life-long education, and facilitating a trusted and coordinated system of community services." It focuses its efforts in four areas. DEPC helps local child-care facilities attain the highest level of accreditation. It provides assistance with child-care to low-income parents who work or attend school. It develops family resource centers for the community. DEPC also coordinates its efforts with the health care and business communities to address such child health risks as lead poisoning.
The scope of its services for children is impressive. Between 2001 and 2002, DEPC gave financial assistance to 351 kids for early childhood education programs rated three stars or above, assisted 688 children with getting school immunizations, and facilitated 2435 vision screenings, 1270 language/developmental assessments and 1664 dental evaluations or treatments. DEPC's assistance to families has been equally active and widespread. During the same period, 5953 families participated in short-term family support programs, 1461 in long-term ones, 592 families took advantage of DEPC's childcare referral services, and 52 received crisis-related child care support. Such emergency support allows a family time to work through crises, thereby minimizing the risks of abuse and neglect.
Zalkind believes the key to such success is flexibility. "You miss opportunities if you are not flexible," she says. Zalkind stresses the importance of "finding common ground" with the many child-related organizations in these counties, as well as creatively responding to funding cuts. "With traditional social services, their funds are so tied up in rules and regulations that they don't have a whole lot of flexibility to think outside the box," says Zalkind. "But you've got to let your vision drive you, and seize your opportunities as you move forward."
"You can drive from here to California in a Lexus, or you can drive from here to California in a Ford Focus," continues Zalkind. "But you can still get to California."
Zalkind has traveled her own path. The Philadelphia native attended the University of Massachusetts and the Northeastern School of Law in Boston. She then served as an education attorney in the 1980s with Legal Services in Providence, RI. Zalkind advocated for educational equity for disadvantaged students, especially in the arenas of vocational, bi-lingual and special education. Zalkind credits this experience with exposing her to "how very fortunate I was growing up in a family that was, and continues to be, supportive. I saw so many people who –if they had had a family that was in a position to support them differently, both financially and emotionally– would have made it. But they didn't. They simply never had a person there who could take them under their wing."
Zalkind committed herself to providing such a wing. In 1994, four years after relocating to Rocky Mount to manage Eastern Carolina Legal Services, Zalkind took on the challenge of heading up DEPC. And it was a challenge. At the time, child care profiles for Nash and Edgecombe counties were dismal. Quality child care was difficult to find and many who cared for children in their homes were unqualified or ill-equipped. Rates of infant mortality were among the highest in the state.
Zalkind's stewardship of DEPC for the past decade clearly has made a difference in what had been a dismal situation. According to the 2002 NC Children's Index, during roughly the same period, the number of children in publicly subsidized day care in Nash increased 49 percent. In Edgecombe, the number of kids enrolled in child care rose 46 percent. In addition, the infant mortality rate decreased 19 percent.
"Henrietta brought community leaders together from both counties to commit to working together to better the lives of children," says DEPC Board Chair Marie Inscore, who has lived her entire life in both counties. Inscore stresses the significance of this feat given that Nash and Edgecombe are divided by railroad tracks –literally and figuratively. She notes the disparities in wealth between the more affluent Nash and its eastern neighbor. "It would have been hard for anyone from here to have done what she's done," continues Inscore, explaining that Zalkind's external perspective, fence-mending abilities and passion for advocacy were a much-needed asset. "Henrietta is very good at getting people to reach consensus without hurting anyone's feelings."
Just as notable is Zalkind's refusal to allow DEPC's services to collapse in the face of the massive budget cuts and economic woes affecting North Carolina over the past two years. Along with flexibility and creativity, Zalkind emphasizes the need for "stamina. This is very hard work, and there are no easy answers." "We continually monitor" our situation and try to "figure out what the next change is, and how to keep everybody motivated toward the same vision." Along with these complexities, Zalkind says it's "just the sheer volume of what it is we're trying to do. It's hard to have everything constantly changing. You have to keep reinventing yourself, and particular strategies only take you so far – whether you have the money for them or not."
Accordingly, even with the current economic climate, Zalkind and DEPC's commitment to the future of children in Edgecombe and Nash counties is unbending. DEPC was recently selected as one of eight sites nationwide to take part in the Kellogg Foundation's SPARK initiative. The Supporting Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids plan aims to prepare children for school entry and on-going scholastic success via the realization of "learning communities" -a supportive collaboration of families, schools and the community.
"It's a five-year plan that really builds on what we've already done here," explains Zalkind. "It takes us a level deeper, concentrating the services we've developed and packaging them for 500 of the most vulnerable kids in the community to ensure their success in school."
Though the initiative is still being developed, Zalkind's efforts have already sparked a brighter future for thousands of children and families in the Down East region of North Carolina.
"You can keep the system moving," insists Zalkind. "And that's what we're about -creating systematic change." But to do so, she adds "you've got be in it for the long haul."
Apparently, Zalkind is. While she didn't grow up Down East, she has proven her staying power and her commitment to make a better life for children and their families in these two NC counties.
"It's been a very rewarding experience," says Zalkind, with a smile. In the long run, however, it is the children, parents and child care providers in Nash and Edgecombe counties who will continue to reap the rewards of Zalkind's fine advocacy and hands-on assistance.

Is it a bad idea to name a child something super rare?
I love the name Siegel for a baby boy...of course that is not at all a typical boys name we checked it out and there are only 80 recorded uses of Siegel for a boys first name in the USA mostly concentrated in 2011. I love that it's a fairly known surname but not a typical first name. My fear of course is that it's too rare and will really end up causing a ton of backlash from family and friends. I just don't know what to do. So far the other names we have tossed around are situated in the top 100 names...I always hated being one a few girls with my name in school so the rarity of Siegel is particularly appealing. Any advice is super helpful...there are just too many names to sift through.

I like this name a lot because it is rare without being made-up, or hard to spell / pronounce. You should definitely go for it and name your baby boy Siegel!posted 01/07/2013 by sophie51
Siegel is a fine name - it is one of those surnames that fits well for a first name. I wouldn't think you would get any backlash for it as it is easy to pronounce and not trendy or anything. I say go for it!posted 01/05/2013 by dreamocracy
I don't think it's a horrible name. We too are looking for something different, but if you have a name and you know deep down it fits your child, then go for it! We purposely are NOT telling ANY family or friends what name we've chosen for the exact purpose of not wanting to hear any flack about it. It's our choice as parents to name our kids, and what we feel fits them and is meant to be their name, should just be accepted. Of course, you and other parents I think will always get some kind of feedback we don't like in naming our babies, but once they're born it's already on their birth certificate, so people will tend to keep more quiet and just get used to it. Those who say something may be more likely to raise and eyebrow and keep it to, "Oh, that's different," rather than being so blatant about hating the name. It's happened in our family and what a change in reaction to names they didn't like - finding out before baby arrived versus baby's arrival announcement.posted 01/12/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I personal think its great! My first name is velvet and I was always the only person in school with that name even in college but I loved it!!!posted 01/20/2013 by caydon2013

Our glider wings are in the container that's about to arrive in NC. We assume there is a manual inside too! Dave Anderson helped Neville develop the manual and should be able to assist. We also have a friend nearby who is building the glider version (received kit Nov 2003) who has a glider manual. So we don't anticipate huge problems.

Disease Proof
One Patient's Story: Battling Asthma, Allergies, Psoriasis, and Headaches
One of Dr. Fuhrman's patients sent in the following story a few years ago. It appeared previously in his Dr. Fuhrman's Healthy Times newsletter.:
As a graduate student in the mid-1980s, I suffered from asthma, headaches, and allergies. I took the oral medication theophylline, plus two inhaled medications for my asthma, Tylenol for my headaches, and Sudafed for my allergies. I developed bronchitis at least once each year, for which I took antibiotics and sometimes codeine. After a while, I developed recurring migraine headaches, for which I tried the standard medication.
My diet had always been fairly mainstream. I had experienced many food allergies throughout my life, and found that raw fruits and vegetables made my tongue, throat, and the inside of my mouth itchy and uncomfortable. As a result, I ate all of my vegetables cooked, except for lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. I avoided fruit altogether, hoping to prevent allergic reactions. As years went by, I became more aware of the importance of healthful eating and improved my diet somewhat. But it wasn't until after my first child was born that I found out about a truly healthful approach to eating.
My son was born in 1994. By the time he was 18 months old, he was on antibiotics and suffering with his fourth ear infection. Fortunately, I was referred to Joel Fuhrman, M.D. After one consultation with Dr. Fuhrman, I changed my son's diet. He has never suffered another ear infection.
After reading a few articles and information sheets about nutrition by Dr. Fuhrman, and attending one of his lectures, I began to make small changes in my diet. For one thing, I began to eat a large salad with my lunch every day, without fail. I felt a little bit healthier, but I still wasn't committed to following all of Dr. Fuhrman's nutritional advice. The real turning point for me came when Dr. Fuhrman helped me through a severe sinus infection. Only then did I realize I had found an expert on whom I could confidently rely for tangible benefits.
I often got a cold early in the winter. My sinuses would clog up, and I would feel uncomfortable for months. Dr Fuhrman gave me a menu plan of nothing but raw fruits and vegetables, and stated that my sinuses likely would clear in three days. I pointed out that this condition had already lasted almost two months, to which he replied it might take as long as ten days. I followed his instructions exactly, and one week later my sinuses were clear. I was hooked; I use this method whenever I catch a cold and have not had bronchitis or sinusitis since. No more antibiotics for me!
There were more benefits to come. I had my second child in 1999, and during the pregnancy I developed psoriasis. I consulted with a dermatologist who put me on a strong steroidal ointment. When I told Dr. Fuhrman about it, he increased my intake of omega-3 by adding a tablespoon of ground flaxseed and a handful of walnuts each day, increased the amount of vegetables, and had me totally eliminate milk products. The outbreaks came less frequently, which was good, but they didn't go away completely. By the time 2002 rolled around, I was totally fed up with the psoriasis (and using steroid creams). So I went back to Dr. Fuhrman again and asked how I could really fix it. He put me on what I call my "green diet," which is essentially the same as the diet he recommends in his book Eat To Live.
These days, I eat a pound of raw veggies (mostly leafy greens) and a pound of cooked green veggies each day, with unlimited fruits and beans, and eat only a small amount of starchy vegetables and grains. I consume no extracted oils, about one half an avocado, and only a small amount of raw, unsalted nuts and seeds in addition to my flaxseed and walnuts. I include eggs and fish in my diet about once each week.
On this plan, my psoriasis has mostly disappeared, reoccurring only when I deviate from my diet and include too many starches. Even then, it is much milder. I can use the ointment for a few days and the psoriasis won't reappear for months. I feel good. Headaches, asthma, bronchitis, and severe allergies are in the past. I take no medications and breathe easily. Although I did not switch all at once to Dr. Fuhrman's recommended diet, each step I took was permanent. I have made steady improvements in my health over the course of sixteen years. This step-by-step approach has worked wonders for me.
I really affirm the reality of proper nutrition to stay health and prevent disease. I started my first fast, I'm on day three. I decided to go on a fast after reading Dr. Furhmans book on Fasting. About two week a go I was experiencing a mild rash break out and tried Naturaopathic remedies without any real success, so I developed the courage to fast, my rash go worse, and I became worried. I wish I had a Dr. Furhman in West Los Angeles area. What can I do for severe itching? And now the rash is over 40% all over my body. Also, I do follow Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar one teaspoon with 10oz of distilled water three time a day. Is that OK? In Dr. Furhmans book on Fasting he did say that a rash will manifest in some people.
Thanks for your response,
Is it unhealthy to consume 5 tablespoons of ground flaxseed per day?It was suggested by a doctor for dry skin relief.
What about the aid of a phosphorylase kinase inhibitor in the treatment of psoriasis, combined with avoiding the aggravating factors? A friend of mind, Dr. Madalene Heng has conducted significant research in this area...
when i was in childwood age i had asthma ...that time only i started homeopathi medicen ....after that when iam in 20 years old asthma sloly decreased and newly one more deseage started that is psoriasis under legs it started white scales..ruf skin itching...and im hands also started ...my question is is there any link between asthma and psoriasis..so what i whant to do now give me the suggetion...

Postgame G. Olaseni Interview
Postgame F. McCaffery Interview
LONDON -- The University of Iowa men's basketball team topped the century mark for the second consecutive contest Wednesday night, this time dropping the London Lions 107-72 in front of a capacity crowd of over 6,000 at the Copper Box. Iowa defeated the Lions, 102-58 yesterday.
Once again, it was the Hawkeyes jumping out to an early advantage, leading by as many as 11 points in the first quarter. The Lions closed the period on a 6-0 run to cut the Iowa lead to 28-19. Josh Oglesby provided the early spark for the Black and Gold, scoring six of his 17 points in the first 10 minutes. The sophomore scored 15 of his 17 points via the long ball, draining five 3-pointers.
The Lions made another charge at the Hawkeyes in the second quarter, going on a 9-0 surge to close to within 39-36. However, Peter Jok scored six of his team's final 10 points during a 10-2 run to end the first half. For the second straight night, Jok led all scorers with 18 points.
The second half was all Hawkeyes after opening the second stanza on an 11-2 run to extend their advantage to 21 points and never looked back. Iowa outscored the Lions 68-35 the final 20 minutes.
London native Gabriel Olaseni had a nice game finishing with 14 points, including a couple thunderous dunks in front of family and friends. Seniors Melsahn Basabe and Roy Devyn Marble contributed 12 points and six points tonight, respectively, while junior Aaron White tallied 16 points, 11 in the second half. Sophomore Adam Woodbury chipped in eight.
"Once Gabe settled down after making a couple early mistakes, he became a dominate player," said head coach Fran McCaffery. "It was great to see him get confidence as the game went on and I'm thrilled for him that he was able to do it in this atmosphere."
"This meant everything to me," said Olaseni. "I couldn't have dreamed for a better atmosphere. Every time I stepped off the court all I could think about was my teammates and family. I'm forever grateful to the coaching staff for giving me an opportunity to play here."
The Hawkeyes will have an early departure for France tomorrow, as the team leaves for Paris via train at 8:30 a.m. local time. Iowa returns to the hardwood Friday when it plays the AMW All Stars at 1:30 p.m. (CT).

Last week I wrote a post about the OU's Moodle codebase big numbers. One resulting big number was the hits to my blog! Another was the amount of Twitter conversation generated.
Some of that was positive:
RT @jennymgray: Big impressive numbers http://t.co/gLFHQN9oR8 <- interesting just how much the OU contribute to Moodle.
— David Kernohan (@dkernohan) February 23, 2015
Others less so:
@jennymgray isn't 200 custom plugins not a bit too much? Why so many? — Willem vanValkenburg (@wfvanvalkenburg) February 23, 2015
Willem has a point, and I promised to answer his question in a blog post. So here it is.
(By the way Tim blogged on a similar topic a year or so ago, explaining how we merge a new Moodle version into our code, when we had 212 custom plug-ins.)
Using the way Moodle classifies plug-ins, here's what we've got:
- 45 local extensions
- 27 reports
- 26 activities
- including 38 activity sub-plug-ins
- 36 blocks
- 14 question types
- 10 themes
- 10 admin tools
- 7 filters
- 4 question behaviours
- 4 enrolment methods
- 3 authentication methods
- 3 course formats
- 2 html editor extensions
- 2 messaging methods
- 2 repositories
- 1 profile field
- 1 portfolio extension

Phew! That's a lot. So, some of the clues to the complexity are in "10 themes", "3 course formats", and "3 authentication methods".
We're not just running one Moodle instance with this lot. There are 9 actually. This code base includes 43 plug-ins for sites which aren't our core VLE. Like this:
- 27 plug-ins for look & feel and additional functionality (workflow, admin and user activities) in OpenLearn, OpenLearnWorks and OpenLearn Wales.
- 8 plug-ins for different look & feel and activities in the Open Science Lab
- 3 plug-ins for look & feel and activities in our Qualifications home
- 3 plug-ins for security and look & feel in our secure online exams environment
- 2 plug-ins for authentication and additional security in the Prisoners walled garden
But I can hear Willem still … That's still just under 200 – why so many? OK, so take off the 38 sub plug-ins as well. These are just ways we manage the code better, rather than additional features. They allow us to switch things on and off, or allow extra features to be built in an activity in a structured way. For example most are in our forum activity to allow printing, merging, deleting etc of posts.
The OU's moodle is pretty big in other ways too – lots of courses, lots of students. Around 30 of the plug-ins help us manage that complexity through automation of course creation and integration with other systems containing student records, grades etc. A further 15 help us to monitor the system e.g. through connecting to monitoring tools, or generating load testing scripts.
Now there's about 100 left. Still a lot. Some are deprecated. We'd like to merge half the themes together when we do a full responsive/adaptive UI revamp. We have two different synchronous collaboration plug-ins because we've changed suppliers recently, but students need access to tutorial recordings in the older platform. And on that note, about 10 allow integration with other systems such as Google Apps or student messaging. Other plug-ins we wouldn't need if we started now, but it'll take us time to move across to newer core features like course formats that offer multiple pages. And some is frankly bonkers – why we need 4 or 5 plug-ins for search, I'm not entirely sure!
One thing that struck me was the number of reports. There are constant calls for more analytics, more reporting. We occasionally talk about how this should be done outside Moodle – looks like that's just talk. I'd really like to see us work on this soon, and maybe we could loose a few plug-ins by passing the work to a system better suited to the job.
Even then we're left with a pretty big number – about 40 if you're still counting! You can take this as a positive sign – look how well you can configure Moodle to do whatever you want. Or as a negative one – look how much effort to get anything useful. I won't comment either way on that! What I will say is that we've used plug-ins rather than customising the core product, so some of the "local" extensions are for that reason. We feel it is better to have a custom plug-in than hacked core. And we've got a range of activities that provide a rich study experience – including audio recording, a virtual design studio, complex assessment engines, collaborative document editing, forums that can withstand large numbers of students, and rich support for maths and chemical notation.
Have we got too many plug-ins? Maybe. But then again we keep finding reasons to add more, so maybe not. And actually how many is too many? If they're small (and some are), then an additional plug-in isn't a significant overhead, especially if it is suitable provided with unit and behavioural automated tests.

I'm new to quilting but have done all sorts of fiber arts. Silk painting, weaving, spinning, etc. My mom and dad were crafty sorts so I grew up creating things. I did artists-in-the-schools programs for years and was an art teacher at a French school. Now I've discovered that quilting is a perfect fit for my brain - math and color and form and function all together. I'm loving it.

"Man of Steel" isn't the first go around for Henry Cavill in the role of Superman.
Back in mid-2004, at the age of just twenty, Cavill was a young actor mostly known for small roles in 2002's "The Count of Monte Cristo" and 2003's "I Capture the Castle".
It was also a time when he was a potential Superman in what was then known as "Superman: Flyby," the second attempt to revive Superman following Tim Burton and Nic Cage's "Superman Lives" in the late 1990s.
This incarnation had McG & Brett Ratner directing at different points with at least two scripts by "Alias" and "Felicity" creator J.J. Abrams. It ultimately fell apart once Bryan Singer came onboard and started over with "Superman Returns".
Various talents like Paul Walker, Jude Law, Josh Hartnett, Ashton Kutcher, Jared Padalecki, James Marsden and David Boreanaz were all under consideration for the film. Quite a few tested using a prototype red-and-blue costume design.
Today, Think McFly Think have found a screencap from the Cavill screen test back in 2004. Check it out below, along with a sketch of the full outfit:
Cavill of course didn't get the role that time. When he came back years later to test for the Zack Snyder film, he donned Chris Reeve's iconic outfit from the classic movies. It looked good enough that he won the gig.

Calendula has been a popular garden flower since the time of Shakespeare, the flowers were used to colour and flavour cakes, soups, stews and pot based meals, which, it is said, is how calendula got the name Pot Marigold!
Uses: If you live in a country where you can't buy pure alcohol use a mixture of 3 parts of vodka to 2 parts of water. If you can obtain proof spirits dilute 3 parts with one part of water to give 25% alcohol. If you have other strengths of alcohol available you need to do a quick calculation to work out the dilution- you have a computer in front of you and computers are good at things like that !

Profinet, system of industrial communication
26 June 2012
The German company Siemens, with Totally Integrated cheese cheese Automation (TIA), offers an integrated cheese cheese range and homogénea of products and systems for the automation in all the sectors, from the entrance of raw materials and the process of production until the exit of products finished, from the level of field and the level of control of production until the connection to the level of steering.
TIA characterises by a homogeneity and only integration in his gender. Thanks to that minimises the interfaces, attains the maximum fluidity between all the levels, from the one of field until the one of management of the company, going through the one of production. Of course, also it reports profits during all the cycle of life of his machine, installation or plant: from the phase of conceptual engineering, going through the one of operation, until the possible modernisation. In effect, the can have successive generations of products and systems fully compatible, avoiding like this unnecessary interfaces, allows to preserve the investments. This homogeneity, only in his gender, specifies already to the hour of the development of the products and systems Siemens. The result is a better interaction of all the components, from the controller, going through the HMI and the accionamientos, until and the system of control of processes.
Complete overview of Industrial Ethernet.
Of this form, reduces the complexity of the solution of automation for his installation. This already can experience, for example, during the phase of engineering in shape of saving of time and costs as well as, during the operation, in shape greater availability of his installation been due to the possibilities of diagnostic homogéneas that offers Totally Integrated cheese cheese Automation.
Because of the advance of Industrial Ethernet in the automation, Profinet has purchased a big importance and presence to what to industrial communications refers .
Profinet, the Industrial standard Ethernet for the automation. Profinet Is the Industrial standard Ethernet leader with more than 3 million nodes in the whole world and increases the success of the companies when accelerating the processes, increase the productivity and achieve a greater availability of the installation. With Profinet, Siemens takes advantage of the standard Ethernet for the automation, that allows an exchange of fast data and sure to all the levels. This offers the opportunity to implement innovative concepts of machines and plants or installations. Thanks to his flexibility and to his open character, offers to the user a maximum of freedom for the tasks of engineering and the configuration of the architecture of the plant. The efficiency of Profinet allows to take advantage of to the maximum the resources of which has the user and increase notably the availability of the installations.
Example of application of IWLAN based in controller for a lot of points of access, e.g., in a terminal of containers.
This industrial standard has expanded with several innovative characteristics that simplify the configuration of the system, for example in applications of critical hygiene, and allow a more stylized topology and versatile in a lot of distinct stages. The function I-Device (Intelligent IO-Device) makes possible a fast and simple communication between controller and controller by means of the direct access to the image of steerings IO with protocol Profinet IO. Thanks to the function Shared Device, two controllers can access to the same Profinet IO-Device (for example, a station ET 200 decentralised or an accionamiento in an application Safety). Since it no longer is necessary install so many devices in the field, reduce the costs of engineering, cableado, consumption of power and installation. With a topology in ring and the protocol Mediates Redundancy Protocol (MRP) can increase the availability of the installation. This can work directly through the ports RJ45 integrated cheese cheese in the equipment Profinet and can combine as it wish with the 'switches' Industrial corresponding Ethernet, as for example Scalance X-200).
A greater flexibility, efficiency and performance (Profinet)
• Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN). It reduces the costs of maintenance, increases the reliability and convinces by a high performance of communication. Profinet Is the only that allows the use of IWLAN with Safety.
• hygiene. The communication of hygiene by means of PROFIsafe protects to the people, the installations and the environingingment with big reliability.
• Flexible topologies. In addition to the linear topology, also admits topologies in star, tree or ring.
• Standard opened. By his open architecture, is the ideal base to create a network of automation homogénea in the machine and the installation to which can connect so much PLC like devices standard Ethernet.
• Tools web. Profinet Is Ethernet to 100% and is compatible with TCP/IP. This allows, between other things, use technologies web, like the access to the server web integrated cheese cheese of the devices of field.
• Possibilities of extension. Can expand the infrastructures of network as it wish , even during the operation.
• A wire for all. It offers a lot of functions in a wire: the data of machine and the standard data of YOU converge. In this way it achieves homogeneity and reduce the works of cableado and learning, with the consequent saving.
• Diagnostic of devices and network. To end to locate quickly the errors can read big quantity of data of diagnostic of the devices. For the maintenance of devices Profinet (local and remote) employ pages web in standard HTML.
• Greater energetic efficiency. PROFIpower desconecta Concrete consumers or units of whole production during the periods of inactividad, of form coordinated and centralised.
• Cableado Simple. Thanks to the system of fast setting FastConnect, allows to design apt networks for the industry in a minimum time and without special knowledges.
• Change fast of device. When substituting a device Profinet, the IO-Controller detects the new device and assigns him automatically a name.
• A lot of robustness. The employment of 'switches' even in devices of field prevents that the failures arisen in a determinate section of the network arrive to disturb all the network of plant. In the very sensitive areas to the electromagnetic interferences, admits the employment of cables of optical fibre.
• Speed. The fast applications of control of movement need an exchange of data equally fast. The times of brief cycle of Profinet increase the productivity of the machines and installations.
• Precision. The communication is deterministic. With an inferior fluctuation to 1 µs obtains an extremely precise cycle, what guarantees a product of high quality.
• Big functional capacities. A controller Simatic can administer until 256 devices. The number of stations by network is practically boundless.
• High speed of transfer. Thanks to the use of Ethernet, reaches a speed of transfer of data notably greater that the buses of previous field. In this way even it is possible, and very simple, transfer big volumes of data without repercussions in the transfer of data IO.
• Redundancy of means. Can achieve a greater availability of the installation using the redundancy, that can implement so much with help of 'switches' external as directly through interfaces Profinet integrated cheese cheese.
• Fast start. In the modular installations, the IO-Controller have to detect quickly new machines or sections of the installation. With Fast Startup, the devices can identify in less than 500 m and connect to the IO-Controller.

A specter is haunting Washington. The specter of the second Bush Administration. This specter is possessing members of the present administration. On Monday (5-10-10) the New York Times reported that Attorney General, Erich H. Holder Jr., wants a law so the US can "interrogate terrorism suspects without informing them of their [Miranda] rights." Do we really want the government to ignore people's rights? People SUSPECTED of a crime have a right to a fair hearing, a lawyer, a presumption of innocence, etc.
Holder thinks the government needs "greater flexibility to question terrorism suspects." But the government has been expanding the definition of who is a terrorist. It's not just the mad bomber from abroad anymore. Now there are mentally disturbed folks being labeled "domestic terrorists" – no Miranda for them. There are animal rights activists being charged as "terrorists" – no Miranda for them. Warning bells should go off anytime the government wants to take rights away from suspects, especially the usual suspects, because there is a danger we will all end up without these rights.
The right we should worry about is that guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment in the Bill of Rights – i.e., the right not to incriminate oneself which is the basis of the Miranda warning.
Well, as a matter of fact, the government already has "greater flexibility to question terrorism suspects." The government can question away without ever informing people of their Miranda rights - they just can't use the information in court against the suspects in criminal proceedings. If it is information they want to prevent a terrorist act that can go ahead and get it and ignore Miranda. They don't have to wait for a lawyer, read anyone their rights, or put off questioning at all. They just can't use the evidence later in court, but they can certainly get it and prevent a terrorist act.
Besides, we have been holding some suspects for years with no evidence and no charges completely ignoring the entire legal system so this new fuss about the Miranda warning is just an attempt to look tough. There is, anyway, a PUBLIC SAFETY EXCEPTION, recognized by the Supreme Court, that allows evidence to still be used in court even if the Miranda warning has not been given to a suspect. So what is Holder really doing?
He is just pandering to the Republicans and their fear mongering instead of standing up to them and pointing out that the Miranda rules are necessary to protect everyone's rights. The Times reports that "Conservatives have long disliked the Miranda ruling, which is intended to ensure that confessions are not coerced." Why anyone would want a coerced confession is beyond me but I am sure conservatives have their reasons. After all, there is a long tradition of forced confessions and frame ups by the police and conservatives are big on tradition.
Anyway, it is so much easier to get a coerced confession, as the Innocence Project has shown and as has the almost weekly announcements of some poor soul, after umpteen years in jail, being released as innocent. Holder should tell his conservative critics that he understands and even appreciates their desire to help the US win more cases and get more convictions by the use of coerced confessions, but it's a bad idea since our stance is that we represent truth and justice and all that good stuff.

Enlist in 'kittengarten' and learn how to make the most of your relationship with your feline:
For the kittens dashing and tumbling around the room, the Washington Humane Society's first Kittengarten class is all about the playtime.
Kittengarten is just like what it sounds, a class for kittens and their owners. Along with kitten socialization and grooming, the four-week class covers basic health and behavior facts, including nutrition. While dog owners have long taken their charges for training, cat owners don't always know that they and their pets could use some guidance too, organizers say.
Even those knowledgeable about cats can really benefit from some hands-on practice, as when trainer Hanna Lentz demonstrates the most important grooming basic for a pet with needle-sharp claws: the nail trim.
Find out how to best trim nails by reading the rest here.

DICK AND Arlene Vittone, of Bessemer, stand in the dining room of their home, Sunday. Each year, the couple decorates for Halloween, in honor of Arlene Vittone's birthday on Oct. 29 and their daughter Peri Rund's birthday on Oct. 30.
BESSEMER — To some, Halloween is a time for dressing up, getting free candy and being as scary as possible.
But for Dick and Arlene Vittone, of Bessemer, Halloween is a time for birthdays, celebrations and showing off their spooky style.
Each year, the Vittone's celebrate halloween over the course of three days in October. Starting on the 29th, they celebrate Arlene Vittone's birthday, followed by their daughter, Wasilia, Alaska, resident, Peri Rund's birthday on Oct. 30 and Halloween on Oct. 31.
Decorations for the celebrations don't include balloons or streamers. Instead they use hundreds of Halloween decorations in each room of their house to celebrate another year.
"She decorates a lot," Dick Vittone said of his wife. "Every room is done up."
To get ready for the holiday, Dick and Arlene Vittone spend three to four days putting everything out on display, including scary witches, ghostly apparitions, boney skeletons and evil monsters.
"I get a couple of new pieces every year, and my kids buy me stuff for my birthday," Arlene Vittone said. "My favorites are my AnnaLee witches."
Many of the pieces are many years old, but she couldn't remember which decoration was the oldest.
"Me. I'm the oldest decoration she has," Dick Vittone said.
WITCHES LINE the window sill in Dick and Arlene Vittone's home in Bessemer on Sunday. Each year, the couple decorates their home for Halloween in honor of Arlene Vittone's birthday on Oct. 29 and their daughter Peri Rund's birthday on Oct. 30, besides Halloween, as well.
When asked about how she finds places for everything, Arlene Vittone said she keeps it all to memory.
"We'll start decorating and I'll remember that certain things go in certain places," she said. "Over time, it all comes back to me."
The decorating started for the parties they had at their home, but now, they decorate for themselves.
"We've gotten too old for parties, so we enjoy it by ourselves," Arlene Vittone said.
Many of the decorations light up and make sounds, and according to Arlene Vittone, she "enjoys it every night."
"My favorite colors are yellow and orange, so I just love it," Arlene Vittone said. "Fall and Halloween are my favorite times of years, so it gets hard to take it all down."
According to the Vittones, their grandkids also like the decorations, but it doesn't end with Halloween.
"We also decorate a lot for Christmas," Dick Vittone said. "That takes about four days to do."

Happy Monday everyone!
Reminder: Gear Review Opportunities are open to anyone who has their Outdoor Blog on the OBN Directory. You just leave a comment below letting us know that you are interested in receiving and reviewing the gear and if you are picked by the RNG, you'll get the gear in the mail, test it out and then write a review on your blog.
Today we are excited to give 4 Outdoor Bloggers the opportunity to receive, test out, review and keep a pair of fantastic Lems Shoes.
Lems Shoes are different than what we've all been accustomed to wearing, especially in outdoor footwear.
They have designed their shoes to fit to the natural shape of the human foot. Unlike other shoes with pointed toes, the toe area of Lems Shoes is designed to allows the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.
More From their Website:
Lems Shoes are made with less. We spend our time getting the important things right and eliminate the rest; no added material, no gimmicks, and no fluff. From the beginning, we had a need for a flat, flexible & featherlite shoe that fit the natural shape of the foot.
To learn more about the fit of Lems Shoes, visit this link: Lems Fit
Details About This Gear Review Opportunity
Lems Shoes is offering 4 pairs of shoes up to be used and reviewed by Outdoor Bloggers. (2 pairs of mens, 2 pairs of ladies)
Up First: Boulder Boots (arguably the lightest boot in the world)- 1 Mens – 1 Ladies
Boulder Boot Details
- Last: LemsLast™ foot-shaped
- Upper: 40% Water-resistant nylon + 60% full-grain leather
- Waterproof: No
- Sole: 9.0mm LemsRubber™ injection rubber
- Insole: Optional removable 3.0mm MoistureWick foam
- Lining: 100% Cotton
Weighing a mere 9.9oz (size 43), the Boulder Boot is arguably the lightest boot in the world. The upper is made of water-resistant nylon and full-grain leather to keep away moisture. The whole boot is completely collapsible, great for stuffing into a pack during a hike and wearing around the campfire afterwords. There's absolutely nothing to this boot, no heel counter, no toe counter, no shank, and nothing stiff that would irritate the foot. If a barely-there boot is what you're in need of, look no further.
Next: Primal 2 (completely collapsible, extremely comfortable, ridiculously lightweight) - 1 mens – 1 ladies
Primal 2 Details
- Last: LemsLast™ foot-shaped
- Upper: Microsuede + open-weave mesh (100% vegan)
- Sole: 8.0mm LemsRubber™ injection rubber
- Insole: Optional removable 3.0mm MoistureWick foam
- Lining: 100% Moisture-wicking polyester
We here at Lems Shoes don't always wear shoes, but when we do we choose the Primal2. If lightweight (6.9oz), flexible, breathable, foot-shaped, and flat are all characteristics that you look for in footwear, than look no further than this shoe. The Primal2 is assembled using a no-sewn construction, which allows the shoe to comfortably form to the natural shape of your foot. Lightweight microsuede and open-weave mesh, allow your foot increased airflow and better breathability. The low-profile 8.0mm LemsRubber™ sole brings you closer to the ground for a more natural stride. Our LemsLast™ design, with its natural foot shape, provides you with that Feelgood Fit that we pride ourselves on. So whether at work, walking the dog, or running errands, the Primal2 is certainly the 'go to shoe' for you.
I see some happy feet the future. If you are interested in trying these Lems Shoes out, just leave a comment below. Comments on this opportunity will be open until Sunday Novemeber 3rd and we'll announce the 4 lucky winners Monday November 4th…
Before you pull that comment trigger: Gear Review Opportunity is open to OBN Members with an Active Blog on the Outdoor Blogger Directory. By Commenting on this Entry you confirm you have read the Reviewer Guidelines and agree to the terms and conditions. Comments will be accepted until Sunday at 5 p.m. MST. Winning comment (s) will be selected by the Random Number Generator and announced this coming Monday on the OBN.

What has she done? With a new identity, a staged death, and a chance to flee the treachery that stalks her, Rachael has escaped from a faceless assassin. Now, thousands of miles from home, under the lush canopy of the rain forest, she's found sanctuary.
Where can she hide? In this world teaming with unusual creatures walks the most exotic of them all. His name is Rio. A native of the forest imbued with a fierce prowess, he is something to be desired. Possessed of secrets of his own, he is something to be feared.
Whom can she trust? But as Rachael's past looms as oppressively as the heat of the forest, and as Rio unleashes the secret animal instincts that course through his blood, Rachael fears that her isolated haven has become an inescapable hell…
Despite the fact that I read across all romantic sub genres, nothing compares to that inner sigh of contentment when you read what you truly love and what ultimately fuels your desire for romance. 'Wild Rain' was like coming home for me in that respect and it proved once again that paranormal romance is where my heart is.
'Wild Rain', in overall tone, is fairly different from Christine Feehan's widely popular 'Dark Series'. There are several moments of wonderful humor and while the hero of course is on the trademark Feehan extreme side of alpha, he's not oppressive like her Carpathians.
Rachael Lospostos finally feels like she's come home as she jogs steadily through the vast rain forests of Malaysia, Borneo and Indochina. Never has her spirit felt so wild, so free as it did at that moment. Her staged death upon the raging river would hopefully be bought by the man whose after her and that all attempts to find her would come to a halt. Unfortunately, Rachael's escape plan is hindered by a vicious attack by two clouded leopards and their angry owner.
Rio Santana assumes that the female draped upon his bed, high in his tree top home, could be nothing save one of the numerous assassins bent on his official demise. Finally they've discovered his hideout and figured a woman would be they're best shot at defeating him. With anger surging uncontrollably, Rio accidentally forgets about the clouded leopards at his side and when the surprised female makes to attack him, his cats lunge unnecessarily to his aid. What baffles Rio though is his intense feelings of shame and guilt while he patches up her punctured calf and splints her broken wrist. For some reason his heart is telling him that he's supposed to cherish this woman, not endanger her and certainly to not be a direct threat.
Raging with the hallucinations brought upon by high fever, Rachael can't dispel the sense that she knows Rio. She knows who he is and what his likes and dislikes are. She knows how he would feel to the touch and she even knows that making love to him would feel like heaven on earth. She shakes the knowledge off and attributes her obvious delusions to not only the fever but also the fact that Rio definitely isn't afraid to be seen naked. The man is visually stunning and Rachael likens him to the ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. What fantasy wouldn't be ignited by a naked sex god parading around you within touching distance?
"You have a beautiful body." Rachael would never have called attention to the fact that he was naked. The words slipped out before she could censor them, or maybe someone else said them. She looked around to see if they were really alone. She had said it after all, and she meant it. The honesty in her voice didn't even make her blush or turn away when he looked over at her with his penetrating, focused gaze.
Rachael stared at him openly, inspecting him the way she might a beautiful sculpture. She smiled dreamily. "Don't mind me. I think it's the drugs talking. I've just never seen a man naked with a body as beautiful as yours is."
But Rachael isn't the only one sensing some previous connection. Rio knows Rachael in the exact same capacity. He knows they've loved in a previous life and his people's teachings makes him believe it's not only possible, but that it's true. Rio is a leopard shape-shifter. He's not man nor is he leopard. He's both. His kind are few and the rules of their people are harsh for secrecy is the most important aspect of they're community - a community that Rio has been banished from. Living a solitary and ultimately lonely life, Rio wasn't looking for love but his suddenly overwhelming feelings for Rachael surpass his incredible control and now his previously tolerable existence feels unbearable.
Rachael knows that Rio is different. There's a distinct feline quality to his soundless movements and strange green-gold eyes. When a giant leopard enters the cabin when Rio is gone, Rachael can't help but be fearless in it's presence. She even reaches out to pet the silken fur as the giant cat rubs insistently along her fevered body. Her mind senses the similarities but she can't stop the immediate denial. When Rio finally shows her the truth, Rachael isn't scared but sad for she knows that the men hunting her would stop at nothing to kill or catch her, even if it means murdering the beautiful man guarding her.
Soon, Rio's and Rachael's mutual desire for one another can no longer be ignored and with bursting passion they make love, ever mindful of Rachael's injuries. But the blissful paradise of each others arms is quickly shattered when an assassin is once again on Rachael's trail but this time it's no ordinary human. One of Rio's kind is after Rachael's death and it's the nature of the beast to strike again and again until the deed is accomplished. The only thing that will stop a leopard from reaching it's set goal is death and Rio knows what he must do to protect the woman he loves.
Meanwhile, Rachael is starting to feel as though the wildness awakened in her by the rain forest is trying to break free. In moments of intense anger or fear, something calls to Rachael and with that call comes the sharp clarity of the forest surrounding her. Rachael begins to recognize the different songs and warnings of the birds. Once invisible, now the various insects seem to stand out in sharp relief. Intense colors overwhelm her senses but surprisingly, there is no fear, there is only the need to be free.
With the demise of one threat rises a new one. There is a million dollar price issued for the safe return of Rachael. Her brother, her savior, is searching for her and he's the last person Rachael ever wants to see. She loves him unconditionally and she would never betray his secrets but he's not the same Elijah that she once knew. Rachael only wishes to disappear but danger follows her everywhere and her heart is devastated that she's led it straight to Rio's door. Broken hearted, Rachael reaches deep for the burgeoning wildness within embracing the beast of her heart and leaps into the forest with every intention of leaving Rio and the life she wishes to have had with him behind.
Infuriated with Rachael's desertion, Rio tracks her easily in his territory. He's resolved to keep Rachael with him. He loves her, she's his soul and he'll not let her risk her life in an effort to protect him. Rachael realizes that her attempt to keep Rio safe in the only capacity that she can offer is futile. When he finds her and leads her back to his tree top home, Rachael resigns herself to her love for Rio and agrees to fight the threat against her life together.
'Wild Rain' was really great escape read. Feehan transports you magically into an entirely different and richly exotic world. Throughout the entire novel I felt completely immersed in the sights, sounds and feels of the rain forest. The colors are brought to life dramatically and I could imagine the call of the many different birds that live amongst the tall canopy. The insects buzz their constant songs while the monkeys laugh had swing amongst the many limbs offered by the trees. Then there is the majesty and sublime captivation of the leopards. It's obvious that Feehan spent many hours researching the movements and varying personalities of leopards. I truly felt the wildness of their world and when they stalked their prey, I too stayed silent and sharp for the kill.
Feehan also shined incredible light on the infinite dangers of the forest and how fragile human life is. A single scratch can lead to deadly infection in mere hours. The many predators range from microscopic to the lethal incisors of a big cat. Rachael's dangerous situation with her injured leg is never forgotten. The reader is constantly aware of her fight against the elements of the forest bent on her destruction for it preys on the weak to leave room for the strong. Rio's and Rachael's struggles were never downplayed, they were as much apart of the plot as their romance was and the truth in that was refreshing.
Lastly, I really enjoyed Feehan's unique take of the finding of mates for the leopard people. There is no instant realization the other is theirs. While both Rio and Rachael feel and early inner connection, it's explored leisurely and was a nice change up for the paranormal genre.
'Wild Rain' is definitely a must read for anyone who loves paranormal romance especially shape-shifter romance.

Three Sub-$20 Napa Valley Cabernets for Summer Sipping
With Summer nearly officially upon us we've been searching for some solid and reasonably priced local Cabernet Sauvignon.
The following wines have been in our rotation for the past few weeks…
2009 Educated Guess Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Jammy, dark reds on the nose with hints of cinnamon. Somewhat firm tannins early, but overall very drinkable with a long finish and yummy hints of caramel throughout. Enjoy with a meaty pasta dish, as well as dark chocolate. We picked up a 750ml bottle at our local grocery store for $18.99. Online here.
2008 Sean Minor "Four Bears" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Classic Napa Valley Cabernet on the nose with hints of raspberry. Well-balanced overall with loads of dark red fruit and cocoa notes. Approachable, perhaps even for non-Cabernet lovers. Pair it with hearty summer BBQ (burgers, tri-tip, etc.). We picked up a 750ml bottle at our neighborhood market for $15.99. Online here.
RouteStock Cellars 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon "Route 29″ Napa Valley
Dark red fruit notes (plum, dark cherry) combined with slight charcoal aromas on the nose. Dangerous. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Fanc, 4% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec with just over a third of the fruit sourced from the historic Rutherford AVA. See our full review.
What Cabernets are you drinking these days?

Ironman - Arizona
|Rear: Sub-9
|Front: 808
|The long uphill drag of the Arizona course is so gradual that an ultra-aero setup like a Sub-9/808 is worth a few extra grams, especially if you're fighting a headwind on the return leg of the out-and-back.
|Rear: 1080
|Front: 404
|Going one step shallower for both wheels, from a disc to a 1080 in the rear and from an 808 to a 404 in the front, lets you press your advantage on the climb with a minimal aero penalty on the way back.
|Rear: 1080
|Front: 404
|The same 1080/404 setup also gives you flexibility when the wind kicks up and bike control becomes an issue. A 1080 rear will exert no more side force than a tri-spoke, while a 404 front optimizes handling and aerodynamics.
|Rear: 808
|Front: 303
|This wheelset will help you maintain your concentration and confidence while you dodge the tumbleweed. Smaller riders especially will appreciate the low-profile 303 front wheel combined with an 808 rear.

Similarly, with the feature Igor, Sparx Animation got a chance to prove itself in the CG world with its "huge" animated creation. Unlike with Igor, in this instance mostly everything went according to plan, and it was Sparx that succeeded in world dominance. Well, nearly so, if you consider how difficult it is for a European-created CG feature to break into US theaters!

Preventing Rose Diseases
Many popular roses are unfortunately susceptible to fungal diseases. Follow these steps to keep rose plants healthy and vigorous.
Provided By: National Gardening Association
Tools and Materials
- pruners
- rose gloves
- rose fertilizer
- preventive sprays such as horticultural oil and lime sulfur
- drip irrigation (optional)
Step 1: Plant Disease-Resistant Varieties
Some roses are very susceptible to black spot, mildew and rust; others are virtually immune, and many fall somewhere between. So the first line of defense is to select and plant only disease-resistant varieties or roses. Where you live makes a difference: a variety that is disease-resistant in one location may be disease-prone in another, so choose accordingly. Many reference books, catalogs and websites include that information.
Step 2: Grow Healthy Plants
Plant roses in full sun in rich, well-drained soil. Soil pH is ideally between 5.8 and 6.2. If the pH is lower, add limestone; if it's higher, add sulfur. Space plants about 3 feet apart to allow good air circulation, and mulch roots in summer to help maintain even soil moisture and to prevent competition from weeds.
Step 3: Water Regularly
Generally, you want water to reach everywhere within the plant's root zone, which may be as deep as 18 inches and as wide as the crown of the plant. Get to know your soil and how water penetrates and travels within it. If the soil around your roses is dry to a depth of 4 inches, you should definitely water, but it's best not to let it get that dry. Also be sure to water roots, not leaves. Wet leaves encourage some fungi, so avoid wetting them unless you are washing off dust or aphid infestations with a hose. Drip irrigation is better for watering roses than sprinklers.
Step 4: Fertilize Correctly
Rose plants that are either under- or overfed will be more susceptible to problems. One simple method is to buy a fertilizer packaged for roses and to follow the label directions.
Step 5: Prune Correctly
Different kinds of roses need different kinds of pruning. Most 3- to 5-foot-tall rose plants need one annual pruning in early spring. At that time, remove any dead branches or twigs, as well as branches that crowd the center of the plant. Prune so that the pruned plant has a V or vase shape.
Step 6: Inspect Leaves
Check roses regularly and inspect leaves for signs of disease. It's best to wait until the leaves are dry, usually midmorning through afternoon, since you can unwittingly spread disease by touching wet plants. If you notice signs of disease, remove affected leaves and apply a preventive spray as directed on product label.
Step 7: Practice Preventive Maintenance
In the fall, remove all fallen leaves on the ground below the plants and dispose of them. In late winter or early spring, prune plants and apply horticultural oil to smother disease organisms that may have overwintered on branches. Spread a fresh layer of mulch to cover any disease spores that might be on the surface of the old mulch.
Step 8: Combat Black Spot
Black spot causes black spots on leaves and stems. To control black spot, remove all winter prunings, a common source of reinfection. In early spring before growth begins, spray a combination of dormant oil and lime sulfur.
Step 9: Treat Mildew
Powdery mildew causes a grayish white fuzz on new leaves and flower buds. It spreads on dry leaves, usually during periods of low rainfall and warm, humid nights. Use a spray containing potassium bicarbonate -- basically baking soda but in a form that is more plant friendly. You can make your own powdery mildew spray by combining 3 teaspoons baking soda with 2 tablespoons highly refined summer oil and 1 gallon of water. Spray every 10 days to two weeks. Another kind of mildew, downy mildew, causes round dark purple spots with yellow edges. It's more serious than powdery mildew but less common. It needs moisture to spread, so control it by watering only in early morning.
Step 10: Watch for Rust
Rust causes rust-colored spots on leaf undersides and is most common during periods of warm days and cool nights.
