Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM8045, a 2.8 to 18 V input, multi-topology DC/DC µModule® (micromodule) converter, with onboard inductor, power switch and DC/DC controller delivering up to 700 mA output current.
With the addition of only two resistors and two capacitors, the LTM8045 can be configured to regulate either a positive output voltage (SEPIC topology) between 2.5 V and 15 V or a negative output voltage (inverting topology) between -2.5 V and -15 V. The LTM8045 is designed for point-of-load regulation in communications, imaging and handheld test equipment.
In the SEPIC configuration, the LTM8045's input voltage can be above, below or equal to the regulated output voltage. If configured as a negative output inverter, no level shifting circuitry is required by the logic level control pins. Under a -5V, 500mA load, the LTM8045 achieves 80% efficiency from a positive 12V input supply. The operating frequency range is 200kHz to 2MHz, adjustable via an external resistor and can be synchronized to an external clock within the same frequency range.
The LTM8045 is packaged in a 6.25mm x 11.25mm x 4.92mm BGA and operation is guaranteed over the -40°C to +125°C and -55°C to +125°C internal temperature range. Pricing starts at $6.97 each for 1,000 piece quantities. The LTM8045 is available for immediate delivery from stock. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTM8045.

Federal law requires industrial facilities that use large amounts of extremely hazardous substances to file a Risk Management Plan (RMP) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
RMP was last updated on RTK Net with a set of EPA data made on December 13, 2015.
These RMP data are intended to save lives, protect property, and prevent pollution. In particular, some industrial facilities are switching to safer and more secure chemicals that reduce the danger to employees and surrounding communities.
EPA does not release to the public some of the most important data in the RMP database; these data can only be obtained by going to a federal reading room.
More information about RMP data is available here. Additional information about the Risk Management Plans may be found at the EPA website.

Definition of hammock in English:
A bed made of canvas or of rope mesh and suspended by cords at the ends, used as garden furniture or on board a ship.
Example sentences
- I love the rope hammocks but I think the mesh would be even nicer.
- Peering through windows offered a glimpse of how the real Mexicans live, and unearthed the interesting fact that here beds are a rarity, rope hammocks the norm.
- I try to take a break next door in one of Rusco garden furniture's comfy rope hammocks, but the saleslady sees I'm way too snug and turfs me out sharpish.
Mid 16th century (in the Spanish form hamaca): via Spanish from Taino hamaka; the ending was altered in the 16th century by association with -ock.
This was hamaka in the extinct Caribbean language Taino. It became hamaca in Spanish, which was used at first in English. The last syllable was altered in the 16th century to conform to English words ending in –ock.

Grayling: Majority of sickness benefit claimants 'fit for work'
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Central Government and also in Bill Payments, Housing
Grayling: Majority of sickness benefit claimants 'fit for work'
The majority of new sickness benefit claimants are able to do some sort of work, Employment Minister Chris Grayling insisted today.
Latest figures show that 57 percent of people who go through the Government's Work Capability Assessment are found fit for some form of work.
The official statistics published today also show that 22 percent of people will go directly into the 'Support Group' classification, receiving unconditional financial support.
Employment Minister Chris Grayling said: "These reforms are changing the landscape of our country. By concentrating on what people can do, we will help people back into work and out of the trap of benefits that has blighted communities. We want to help everyone who can be in work to get there, not just for themselves but for their children.
"It is clear that the majority of new claimants to sickness benefits are in fact able to do some work. For those that need additional help our new Work Programme is up and running and will tailor support to people's needs so that they can overcome whatever barriers they face."
The number of working age people on ESA and incapacity benefits at May 2011 is the lowest since 1996 but there are still 2.6 million people claiming, 916,970 of which have been on Incapacity Benefit for over a decade.
Claimants with an outcome for their claim can be broken down as follows:
- 43 percent of claimants were entitled to the benefit. Within this 21 percent of claimants were placed in the Work Related Activity Group; and 22 percent of claimants were placed in the Support Group;
- 57 percent of claimants were assessed as Fit for Work and are no longer eligible for Employment and Support Allowance.
According to the Department for Work and Pensions, the reduction in the Incapacity Benefit caseload is a direct result of the reassessment process which sees people on Incapacity Benefit assessed using the Work Capability Assessment to determine eligibility to Employment and Support Allowance. A quarter of the 1.5 million Incapacity Benefit claimants going through re-assessment have begun the process.

I just posted this on another thread topic but thought it may be useful. I've never seen this in Australia but for you US folk it may be helpful. On the other thread I said that I had read a site when a woman was talking about whether you wash or don't wash the fabrics you're using to make a quilt and in one instance she didn't and didn't wash the quilt until completed. A maroon colour ran into others creating an awful look and she was horrified. However, she used this product and she said it saved the day and removed all the run dye. And it doesn't have a bleach base:

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
by C.S. Lewis
Analysis: Booker's Seven Basic Plots Analysis
Christopher Booker is a scholar who wrote that every story falls into one of seven basic plot structures: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, the Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth. Shmoop explores which of these structures fits this story like Cinderella's slipper.
Plot Type : The Quest
The Call
Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace are pulled from their own world through a magical painting into the eastern seas of the world of Narnia.
The call of the heroes in this book is difficult to miss: our three protagonists are literally pulled into the world of a painting on the wall. There's clearly specific magic at work, targeting them and making sure they arrive at the correct place and time to join King Caspian's eastern voyage. As far as we know, the painting they get sucked into has never come to life for anybody else, and they're plopped down right next to the Dawn Treader just as it's left familiar territory and is about to undergo its first adventure.
The Journey
King Caspian and his friends travel east in the Dawn Treader seeking the seven missing lords and the end of the world.
Although this journey takes place over the course of several different adventures, each with its own corresponding island, several things are consistent throughout that indicate that this is really one single stage. On each island they visit, Caspian and his friends find traces of the missing Narnian lords – sometimes information, sometimes belongings they left behind, and occasionally the lords themselves. Each island visited also marks another step in the journey eastward, so that the islands are like mile-markers showing their progress.
Arrival and Frustration
The Dawn Treader sails as far east as it can, stopping just before it runs aground. Caspian's attempt to abandon his country and continue on the adventure is thwarted by his friends, crew, and Aslan.
Although King Caspian gets close to the utter east, he doesn't actually get to see the wall of water flowing upward that marks the easternmost boundary of the flat world in which Narnia exists. That's a privilege reserved for Reepicheep and the three visitors from "our" world, Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace. Caspian's responsibilities as ruler of Narnia, and his developing relationship with Ramandu's daughter, require that he turn back and allow others to complete the quest for him.
The Final Ordeals
Caspian must return to Ramandu's island and to his duties as King of Narnia. Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace are sent back to their own world through a door in the sky. Reepicheep sails into Aslan's country.
In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the "final ordeals" that most of our characters must go through consist of leaving the adventure behind and going back to their regular lives. For Edmund and Lucy, the ordeal involves the knowledge that they will never get to come back to Narnia; they must learn to recognize Aslan in another guise in their own world. For Caspian, the "ordeal" is the duty he must fulfill: going back to rule Narnia. Not that we think that will be all that unpleasant, but it will involve a lot of day-to-day problems, struggles, and politics. The only adventurer who really gets to go all the way is Reepicheep. Presumably he, too, must go through some "final ordeals" before he gets into Aslan's country, but we're not told what they are.

The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the price was very good. The air conditioner was beat up (the air fins that direct the flow were gone) so the cold air blew right on the bed. The microwave, refrigerator, and TV worked so that was a plus. The wi-fi worked great which is always a pleasant surprise. There's a decent bar on the premises and you can get bar snacks if you don't want to go out to dinner. The location is excellent - it's near the shopping area of Pekin. Two of the female staff called me "honey" (I'm a middle aged man) which I thought was charming. I would stay there again because of the excellent value but don't expect a luxury hotel.

The goal – a close-range 90th-minute shot after Richard Keogh failed to clear Junior Hoilett's cross – was QPR's only chance on target of the match.
Derby had been dominant, and it increased after QPR lost Gary O'Neil on the hour for clipping the ankles of Johnny Russell on the edge of the box.
Yet Derby, who had always played much the better football, pressed to little effect, with substitutes Craig Bryson and Simon Dawkins both failing to convert chances.
It was Zamora, then, one of QPR's trio of substitutes, who eventually made the difference, securing a Premier League place for QPR just as he did for West Ham nine years ago.
The first half had been closely contested if hardly packed with goalmouth incident. The one genuine save came from Robert Green - by far the busier keeper all afternoon - palming Jamie Ward's free-kick away for a corner five minutes before the break.
Even the first half's moment of controversy was a little half-hearted as Ward claimed he had been impeded by Richard Dunne. Lee Mason was close to the incident, and was adamant that the contact was minimal at the very best.
Derby will come away from Wembley thinking of the what-might-have-beens - and QPR will thank their stout defence and veteran goalpoacher for their victory.
27' DRAMA! We have our first controversy. Hughes thinks Dunne has brought him down in the box as he attempts to turn him. The referee is very close to the incident, and isn't interested at all. Replays indicate that the contact was minimal.
40' CHANCE! That's the closest we've come to a goal so far - Ward takes the set piece, and it sizzles across the face of goal, forcing Green into a save.
60' RED CARD! Was Gary O'Neil the last man there? Yes, he was! Red card for him after clipping the heels of Johnny Russell, who was otherwise clean through.
69' CHANCE! Lovely run in from substitute Bryson, and a good shot, but Green makes the save at the near post.
75' CHANCE! Great link-up between Bryson and Dawkins, whose shot is palmed away by Green, and then Ward's follow-up is deflected out off his own man.
90' GOAL! Bobby Zamora puts QPR in the lead! Is that yet another play-off winner for him? Once more Hoilett's great work down the right pays off - Keogh doesn't clear the cross, and it falls to Zamora, who hammers it home.
Gary O'Neil is the first player to be sent off in a Championship play-off final since Jay Tabb for Reading in 2011.
Bobby Zamora's 90th-minute goal was QPR's first shot on target of the afternoon.
Zamora's last three goals for QPR have come in the 90th minute - or later.
QPR return to the top flight for the fifth time after previously being promoted in 1968, 1973, 1983 and 2011.
Well, the penalty shout from Ward was probably the biggest talking point – he certainly did think he'd been obstructed, but it would have been a harsh decision.
Robert Green (QPR): the QPR goalkeeper kept Derby shut out all afternoon.
Derby: Grant 7, Wisdom 7, Keogh 7, Buxton 8, Forsyth 7, Hendrick 7, Thorne 7, Hughes 7, Russell 7, Martin 7, Ward 8. Subs: Bryson 8, Eustace, Sammon, Legzdins, Whitbread, Dawkins 8, Bamford 7.
QPR: Green 9, Simpson 7, Onuoha 8, Dunne 8, Hill 7, Doyle 7, Barton 7, O'Neil 6, Hoilett 8, Austin 7, Kranjcar 6. Subs: Traore 7, Morrison, Yun, Hughes, Henry 7, Zamora 7, Murphy.

Studies of circulatory changes during cough syncope by Sharpey-Schafer1 and by McIntosh et al.2 imply that the mechanism of this syndrome has been satisfactorily explained. Their explanations seem unsuitable in instances of certain patients studied recently. Our results indicate that the term cough concussion may be preferable to cough syncope in certain instances.
Eighteen patients presenting the typical features of cough syncope3 have been observed. Voluntary coughing could produce syncope at will in 5 patients, and 21 episodes were studied in these. In addition to the usual clinical observations made on patients with syncope, electroencephalograms* have been recorded in 11 patients; intra-arterial pressures have been recorded in 10 instances, and an antigravity suit has been used with one subject. Peripheral arterial pressures were recorded from an indwelling Cournand needle in the brachial artery. Central aortic pressures were recorded through a polyvinyl catheter 24 cm. long with

Josh Newman won gold and silver at the National Trampolining Gala in Hull.
Competing in his first national event of the season, Newman, from Billericay, won by a comfortable margin in the individual event to confirm his place in the national finals in July.
He concluded a successful competition by claiming second place in the synchro event. Newman said: "It's really hard work and I'm pushing myself to the limit. Hopefully I can do some great things this year."
Newman's latest success follows his victories at the Australian Youth Olympics and National Schools Trampolining Championships in Cannock.
His next event comes at the Cardiff National Gala later this month.

The Northern Iowa men's basketball team is hosting a game in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament – and students get in free, thanks to coach Ben Jacobson.
An opening-round game will be held at the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls on March 15, against an opponent to be determined.
Tickets will cost $10 for adults, $5 for high school students and younger.
Students at Northern Iowa would also pay $10, but Jacobson will pay for every ticket purchased by a student.
"It's just more or less his way to throw a thanks back to the student body for their support during the last couple years," athletic director Troy Dannen said.
The CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) is a 24-team event with games played at on-campus sites.
Every team will play a first-round game, then top four seeds will receive a second-round bye.
Last year, Missouri State and Creighton played in the CIT, with the Bears winning the championship.
Northern Iowa (19-13) faded from NCAA Tournament contention last week after losing to Creighton in the quarterfinals of the league tournament.

The traditionalist: Charles J. Cooper, the attorney defending Proposition 8 before the Supreme Court, has avoided discussing this case in the media.

Why Obama Isn't Likely to See a Primary Challenge in 2012
Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, is a former White House correspondent with two decades of experience covering Washington government and politics. Click here for Mr. Brown's full bio.
President Barack Obama has mediocre poll numbers and is facing a revolt on Capitol Hill from dissidents within his own Democratic Party who think he is giving away too much to the Republicans to get a deal on taxes.
One liberal group is running TV ads against the president's tax deal, and the head of the Congressional Black Caucus is against him on the issue.
Outside the Beltway, the largest ideological group of Democrats – the same bloc of liberals that nominated him just two years ago — is angry with him for a variety of reasons beyond taxes: sending more troops to Afghanistan, failing to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, and not making a serious push for a comprehensive immigration overhaul.
Yet, the chances that any well-known Democrat will mount a serious campaign to deny him re-nomination in 2012 are minuscule. Mr. Obama will not have a serious fight, or probably any fight at all, for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2012.
It is simple math.
African-Americans are the largest single voting bloc in Democratic primaries. Although only about one in eight voters is black nationally, African-Americans comprise a quarter or more of the Democratic primary electorate in many key states –even though the first two to pick delegates, Iowa and New Hampshire, are almost all white.
A Strong Hold on the Nomination
Mr. Obama retains 90%-plus support among black voters. And, for most Democrats, especially those in the liberal base that dominates party presidential primaries, it would be a difficult, emotional decision to throw out the first African-American president. Between them, the party's white liberals and black voters have a strong hold on the nomination process.
Moreover, there's no indication any Democrat with name recognition, fund-raising ability (or billions of his own to self-fund such a race) is willing to play Don Quixote. Anyone who challenges the president in a primary and loses (as would be the case) would become in persona non grata party circles.
Howard Dean, the former Democratic national chairman and 2004 presidential candidate, is one of the names thrown around when pundits talk of a primary challenge to Mr. Obama. But Mr. Dean has foresworn a challenge and predicted Mr. Obama won't get one.
"I don't think he's going to face an opponent in the Democratic primary," Mr. Dean said Sunday in an appearance on CNN. "That would be a bad thing for the country, and I think it would be a bad thing for the Democratic Party. The history of people running against presidents in their own party is the challenger loses and then the president is weakened and loses."
The latest Quinnipiac national poll last month had Mr. Obama underwater in the eyes of the American public, with 49% disapproving of his job performance and 44% approving. That's neither terrible, nor terrific. It is not hugely different than President George W. Bush's numbers in 2004 when he won a second term in the White House with no significant primary challenge.
Lessons From 1980 and 1992
If Mr. Obama's overall job approval dropped into the mid-30s, that might change the playing field enough to entice a serious challenger into the Democratic race. But even then, a challenger would face enormous obstacles.
The recent presidents whom Mr. Obama does not want to emulate are Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. They each faced primary challenges when they ran for a second term: Mr. Carter in 1980; the elder Bush in 1992. And, although both were renominated, they weren't re-elected.
The reality is that the liberal activists who are most angry with the president are just venting. They know that Mr. Obama can do virtually anything he chooses policy-wise without worrying about a serious primary challenge.
As angry as some liberals might be with the president, they know he is the best they are going to get in the immediate future. Many of them look to the 1980 primary challenge by Sen. Edward Kennedy to Mr. Carter as a giant mistake.
A weakened Mr. Carter lost that November to Ronald Reagan, whose election ushered in an ideological swing to the right that ended a half-century of liberal domination of American politics. Mr. Obama's 2008 election represented their hope of reversing that trend back to the left.
That's why all this denunciation of Mr. Obama by many of the same folks who won him the Democratic nomination in 2008 is just a lot of hot air.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter: Compete With Better Products, not Bribes
Do you think the rules governing bribery for U.S. companies doing business overseas need to be changed?
The U.S. should set a high standard. If anything, the standards should be raised. There are complaints about not being able to compete with companies from countries with lax rules, but American companies should compete at the high end, with better products and services, not at the low end with bribes to win business.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter (@RosabethKanter) holds the Ernest L. Arbuckle professorship at Harvard Business School, where she specializes in strategy, innovation and leadership for change.

Growing up I always loved having light coloured walls in my bedroom. And even still, I love the feeling and look of a light and airy room with a crisp white or light grey on the wall. Sometimes I'll do a bold colour if a client is keen, however, it's not typically my style. But ever since my trip to New York this past May, I've been obsessed with dark walls. Specifically, black. It can make a room look crisp and elegant to daring and sexy. It makes furniture, art and accessories pop and can totally be treated as a neutral. Now all I need is a client who is willing to paint their walls black :) Anyone?? Add in some wall panelling and I just died and went to Heaven.

The total package.
The "TRS" in the Lib Tech TRS XC2-BTX Snowboard stands for Total Ripper Series, and after stepping foot on one you'll understand why. This all-mountain freestyle shred stick kills everything in its path, from powder runs to slushy park laps. It features the innovative XC2-BTX profile, which has a shorter, but more aggressive rocker zone in the middle, with elongated camber zones running out to the tips. This results in greater power, pop, and control on hardpack without sacrificing float in powder. Magne-Traction edges create seven different points of contact along each edge to help the board slice through ice likes it's fresh corduroy.
A true twin shape and centered stance makes it easier to take off and land switch, whether it's in the park or powder. Feel good when you drop in knowing that this board was built using sustainable manufacturing techniques and materials. A blend of Aspen and Colombian Gold wood in the core makes it strong, snappy, and lightweight, and the wood comes from fast-growing, sustainably harvested trees so you're not contributing to the destruction of the rainforests. Basalt reduces the amount of fiberglass needed without sacrificing strength to give you a better board that's less harmful to the planet.

text: The Harvester wiki last edited by The Myth on 02/10/14 05:44AM View full history Origin:Millions of years ago the harvester race sent a swarm of parasites to Earth with latched onto the planets early lifeforms. This was in order so that one day when the Earth had 'ripened' the harvesters could then consume the life force of all living being on the planet.Creation:Harvester was created by Steven Grant and Quique Alcatena as a final opponent to finish off the original X-Man title.Major Story Arcs:X-Man: Till the End of the World.Thirty years ago the Harvester resived a signal indicating that the time of Earth's ripening was soon approaching, indicated byHarvester emerging on Earththe sudden spurt in mutation of the dominant species. The Harvester then proceeded to Earth, traveling in a black sphere. Crash landing in Kansas, the Harvester emerged from his transport to find an elderly farmer couple, who had come to investigate the crash site. The Harvester then absord both of the couple in order to create a physical shell sited to Earth's inhabitants. Over the next thirty years the Harvester proceeded to work unditected readieing Earth for harvesting.Harvester as a humanThe Harvester had made his base of opperation in the home of couple he had killed, and over the course of this work he had slowly taken control over the minds of the residents of the local town. That was with the exeption of one Michael Dorie, young mutant telekinetic, sort to excape the control of the Harvester so using his powers carved an enormous 'HELP US' in a crop field, befor grabing his girlfriend and fleeing the town.Soon discovering Michael the Havester recaptured him and earased his distress call. However, unfortunately for the Harvester the s.o.s had already been seen by the mutant shaman, Nate Grey, who then came to investigate. ThoughNate defeating Harvesterreluctantly Michael brought Nate before the Harvester and a struggle then commenced. It was durring the fight that the Harvester then revealed that his work had caused him to become linked to all living things on the planet, and so if he felt pain all the people of Earth would feel pain too. This caused Nate to back down in which the Harvester then revealed the true nature of his plan, and began the process of converting Earth's life-energy in to food for hispeople. Nate realized that he only had one option, he grappled the Harvester and converted both of the beings in to energy and merged himself and the Harvester with every living organisum of Earth, this seemingly killed both but the added energies to the Earth now made it inedable to the Harvesters race. Witnessing Nate's selfless sacrifice Michael chose to become Nate's succesor as the new mutant shaman.In recent times Nate Grey has returned to the phsical realm, thus removing his energies from the Earth's, what this meen for the Harvester's future is unknown.Powers & Abilities:The Harvester in a being made of energy and thus has many energy basedX-Man vs Harvesterpowers. Including the ability to manipulate energy on a planetary scale, as well as being able to absorb living beings in order to create a phisical shell for himself.He also demonstrated that he had become linked to all living this on Earth, meaning if he felt pain so did everyone else, sort of like a living voodoo doll.Harvester also poccesses some telepathic abilities, though mutants seem to have some level of resistance to this ability.Like all of his spiecies Harvester feeds upon the life force of planets, but can not consume life force energy that has been contaminated by other forms of energy.Characteristics:Height: 6'10''Weight: 315 lbsHair: BaldEyes: RedUnusual Features: Strange striped pattern all over his body.

A Guide To The Different Types Of Fertilizer
Fertilizing a yard has progressed far beyond just spreading manure, as was done in generations past. Getting to know about your fertilizer options can help you grow your most beautiful yard possible.
Fertilizer Basics
All types of fertilizer have one thing in common: they are designed to provide essential nutrition to your plants. Almost all types of garden plants benefit from fertilizer because most soil doesn't contain enough of the nutrients plants need for ideal health and growth.
The more you use your soil to grow plants, the more nutrition is depleted from that soil over time. Fertilizer ensures that your plants get the all vital nutrients they need including:
- Calcium: Calcium helps plants neutralize toxins, and grow properly.
- Magnesium: Magnesium is essential to process sunlight.
- Nitrogen: Plants need protein to make new tissues and nitrogen allows the plants make these proteins.
- Phosphorous: This nutrient improves plant health and size, helps plants set flowers and buds, and helps roots and seeds grow larger.
- Potassium: When plants get enough potassium, they are more resistant to disease. This nutrient also boosts overall health, regulates plant metabolism and helps plants make carbohydrates.
- Sulfur: This is a building block of many plant proteins.
In addition to being supplied with essential nutrients, plants need to be in an environment with the right pH for them to absorb that nutrition.
Understanding Fertilizer Labels
When you pick up a bag or bottle of fertilizer, you'll see three numbers on the label. These numbers, referred to as the N-P-K ratio, represent the amounts of three vital nutrients contained in the formula. Here's how it works:
- The first number is the "N" in the formula, for nitrogen.
- The second number is the "P", for phosphorus.
- The third number is the "K", for potassium.
In addition to the N-P-K ratio, check your label to see if fertilizer is rapid acting or slow-released.
Organic vs. Commercial Fertilizer
Once you've decided to fertilize, you'll need to choose between organic and synthetic products. Each type of fertilizer has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages:
- Synthetic Fertilizer Advantages: Synthetic fertilizers offer tight control over the amount of each nutrient and the speed with which nutrition is released into the soil. These formulas can be very concentrated, offering quick results with rapid acting formulas and allowing you to use less fertilizer than you would with organic products. Additionally, synthetics are generally less costly than their natural or organic components.
- Synthetic Fertilizer Disadvantages: Unfortunately, chemical fertilizers may damage your soil, causing it to become more dependent on added fertilizer over time. Because of the rich, synthetic chemicals, your plants' roots risk damage as well.
- Organic Fertilizer Advantages: Since they're released gradually, organic fertilizers provide steady long-term nutrition to plants for lasting results. These products also encourage growth of healthy soil organisms and sturdy roots. Organically fertilized soil also holds moisture and nutrients longer than soil fertilized synthetically.
- Organic Fertilizer Disadvantages: You'll probably have to use more fertilizer, pay a bit more, and wait longer for results.
If you're interested in organic gardening, you might want to consider making your own organic fertilizer. You can find lots of recipes to try online. Here are a few common ingredients of homemade organic fertilizers:
- Chicken manure
- Corn gluten meal
- Epsom salt
- Fish emulsion
- Gypsum
- Lava sand
- Lime
- Molasses
- Seaweed
- Worm castings
Applying Your Fertilizer
When buying your fertilizer, be sure you're getting the correct formula for your specific plants, and follow the manufacturer instructions.
If you're starting a new garden bed, you can apply fertilizer in a few basic steps:
- Apply slow acting fertilizer to the soil in early spring and rake it in.
- Use a roto-tiller to push nutrients deeper into the soil.
- After your plants come up, give them occasional snacks by spraying quick-acting, water-soluble fertilizer directly on leaves. Always make sure you've properly diluted this fertilizer so you don't harm your plants.
To fertilize an established lawn:
- Be sure to choose the right fertilizer for your type of grass.
- Let your lawn come up and get green in the spring, and mow it a few times before feeding it.
- Use a spreader to apply slow-release fertilizer, walking behind it at a steady pace and covering each area of the lawn only once.
- Repeat at least one more time during the growing season, and then again with a winter formula at the beginning of the fall if needed for your type of grass.
Fertilizer Tips
To help you get the most from fertilizing your yard, here are a few basic tips:
- Always thoroughly water plants and lawns before using water-soluble fertilizers.
- Plants that are stressed by drought shouldn't be fertilized.
- Don't fertilize at the same time as you apply lime for pH.
- Newly planted trees and shrubs shouldn't be fertilized for the first year.
- Only use the amount of fertilizer recommended by the manufacturer.
Your Healthy Yard
Taking the time to fertilizer your lawn and garden brings the rewards of a healthier, more attractive yard as well as a higher yield from any crops you decide to grow.

- Peoples and Cultures of Central Asia
- Nazif Shahrani
This course carries CASE S&H & CASE GCC designations
A general anthropological introduction to the societies and cultures of the contemporary Muslim successor states of former Soviet Central Asia and the adjacent areas of Iran and Afghanistan, i.e., western Turkistan. Topics include ecology, ethnohistory and the structure of traditional subsistence strategies (nomadic pastoralism, sedentary farming, and urban mercantilism); social institutions (marriage, family, kinship, gender relations, identities and organization, and religious beliefs and practices); and the assessment of socioeconomic change and recent political transformations experienced by the peoples of this region under the colonial rules of tsarist and Soviet Russia, and the modern nation states of Iran and Afghanistan. The consequences of the collapse of the former USSR and war on terrorism, volatile sociopolitical conditions, and future prospects for the peoples of this region will be also critically examined. No special knowledge of the region on the part of students is presumed. A background in general anthropology would be helpful, but not necessary. The course will consist of lectures, reading assignments, film and slide presentations, and class discussions.
- Required Texts (titles vary)
- Elizabeth Bacon, Central Asia Under Russian Rule: A Study in Culture Change. Cornell University Press: 1980.
- Marianne Kamp, The New Women in Uzbekistan: Islam, Modernity, and Unveiling Under Communism. 2006.

- Annemarie Schimmel, Islam: An Introduction. SUNY Press: Albany, New York, 1992.
- Nazif Shahrani, The Kirghiz and Wakhi of Afghanistan: Adaptation to Closed Frontiers and War. University of Washington Press: Seattle, 2002.
Course Requirement
Undergraduate students course grades will be based on a midterm exam (50 pts.), a final exam (100 pts.), an eight page (double-spaced typed) critical comparative written review of the three ethnographic/historical case studies by Kamp, Khalid, and Shahrani (40 pts.), and participation in class discussions (10 pts.). The course grade will be determined on the basis of these 200 cumulative points. All examinations will be in class and in essay format.
Graduate students are expected to submit a term paper (100 pts.) in addition to taking both exams (150 pts.). They are also expected to submit a critical written review (three double-spaced pages maximum) of the weekly required readings assignments (at least once during the semester) and lead an class discussion of materials reviewed for approximately 30 minutes. These written critical reviews should highlight the most important issues, questions, and concept in the readings and will be shared electronically with the entire class at least two days before the discussion date (50 pts). The course grade will be based on these 300 cumulative points.

Is the President coming to town? According to Rolling Stone, one of the most powerful men in the hip-hop industry is planning to invite the most powerful politician in the world to Philly's Made in America music festival (scheduled for September 1st and 2nd).
Regarding the President's invitation, Jay-Z stated, "he probably won't have time, but I'm absolutely going to ask him…I'm gonna give him a call and I'm gonna try to get him to perform—do a little rendition of Al Green."
Though the official lineup hasn't been released just yet, Jay-Z seems to be looking forward to the event- and that can only mean good things. "You'll see me with a probably a beer in my hand, just enjoying the festivities and the music like everyone else. I'ma try and keep it as normal and simple as possible."
Sorry Jay, but inviting the President to our city for an extravagant concert on the Parkway is not "normal and simple." Not to mention the additional possibility of your ultimate-diva wife, Beyoncé, also making an appearance. (Jay-Z says he "tried to put it far enough away on her calendar so that she'd have a little gap in the schedule.")
Maybe Sasha and Malia can babysit little Blue Ivy while their parents are on stage? That's be the the normal and simple thing to do.

Today, Pranksters, I bring you a post done by my friend Angie from A Whole Lot of Nothing. She's my Co-Captain for Aunt Becky's Family Reunion and my BFF OMG FB BBQ! She's fabulous and sassafrastastic and also my sister, because I got adopted by her family, which, HI AWESOME.
(also, if you want to vote, blah, blah, it's ALMOST over, and I'm sucking at asking people to vote this year, which, whatever. It's all good.)
I expect a modicum of decorum from people. Not much. Just a smidge. A minor amount of consideration for the people around, sharing the same toxic air.
I know that sometimes I may not realize that I've cut someone off, or that I've accidentally stepped on a kid's toe, or I've maybe, possibly amped up my walking pace to slyly beat you in the restaurant door to get my name on the wait-list ahead of you.
But when I realize the minor damage I've done, I always apologize and try to make my karma right.
Then again, I'm normal.
Some people, are douchebags.
Like this guy. This guy, to whom I wrote a blog letter back in 2008:
Excuse me, sir, but when you cut in front of me to open the door to sneak your nasty ass inside of the bookstore, while I have two young girls, then DON'T EVEN FACKING BOTHER TO HOLD THE DOOR OPEN, you, sir, are an ass.
This may not seem like a big thing, the whole holding-the-door-open-for-the-lady-and-her-children. But it is.
I'm a Feminist. I'm even a member of NOW or I was until I forgot to pay for my dues for this year. Don't worry; I'm not the bra-burning, death to Whitey, cut-off-your-nuts Feminist-type yet.
I want to be considered an equal when being considered for a job or picked for the team. I believe anything you can do, I can do better or equal.
But at the same time, I want to be able to cry to get out of a speeding ticket, I want the seat you're sitting in if there are none left, and I want you to HOLD THE DURN DOOR OPEN FOR ME AND MY GIRLS.
So, Mr. Oblivious, can you please take your dirty shoes off of Sir Chivalry's balls, and hold the door open for me?
Love & kisses,
25 Responses to Stomping on Sir Chivalry's Balls
Hells to the yeah! Hold that damn door open. Small acts of kindness are rewarded with big karma. IJS.
Hey Becky, I voted for you today and yesterday, keep going!
Umm, yeah. I am a woman and I hold doors, doesnt everybody?
Oh, and since I am a woman unless you are like 80 or 9 months pregnant, you aint getting my seat bitch, there you can turn to a man and show him your sweater kittens or something.
To clarify, I hold doors for everybody, men, women, kids. Just not zombies
I think you hold the door open for women, women with children, old people and men with children in tow. Its just common curteosy.
I always hold the door for women, especially the ones with little ones. Oh, and MILFs. AlwaysMILFs.
I honestly don't think that holding a door open for another person has anything to do with the gender of the other person. If I see anyone near the door that i'm opening and about to go through, I'll wait and extra few seconds for them to get there, with kids, without kids, with their arms full, or just walking all by their lonesome. But I just do what I expect other people to do for me… Not saying that it always works the other way around…
Amen. If you have a pulse…I'll hold the door for you.
Seriously, what ever happened to common courtesy? I hope the door smacked him on the ass on the way out.
That gets me all fired up too….but what gets me even MORE fired up was the time I went to a baseball game with my then just turned 2 year old daughter and rode the metro……….Some young guys were sitting in seats and I had to stand there holding her….STAND on the metro holding my barely 2 year old daughter……I would have actually been okay with it had he gotten up for the elderly couple who were standing near me. The elderly couple was at least 75.
BRAVO! My feelings, exactly! And while you're at it can you please just offer to put the gigantic, heavy object in my trunk for me when I'm struggling in the parking lot?
and the even bigger asshat: the one you hold the door for and they walk through without even a nod, let alone expending the energy to say thank you. GRRRRRrrrrrr
Exactly this:
"I honestly don't think that holding a door open for another person has anything to do with the gender of the other person. If I see anyone near the door that i'm opening and about to go through, I'll wait and extra few seconds for them to get there, with kids, without kids, with their arms full, or just walking all by their lonesome. But I just do what I expect other people to do for me… Not saying that it always works the other way around…"
But I think people (especially in Miami) are serious asshats in general. They just don't give a shit about anybody but themselves. Seriously? Like you are going to not get to your destination at the exact same time if you don't let anyone merge when a lane is closed? It's just common courtesy, one car from each lane people. It's not that flucking hard. It's not like you're a better person than me because you are driving in the lane that's NOT closed for road work. Gah!!! Thank you, that was bothering me since Wednesday.
Hell Yeah!!! I hate all the people who want to be rude and then stand there like they've lost their minds if you dare to ask for their help!!! 🙁
I don't understand how you don't hold the door open for people. Unless you've had a lot of experiences like my husband, who always olds the door for us and then 12 people push their way through and he stands there like a doorman until someone grabs a clue and notices that he is wearing a t-shirt, not a uniform.
A man who is well known in my area didn't hold a door open for me when I was 9 months pregnant. His house burnt to the ground. Karma is a bitch.
Hell, I even hold the door open for dudes. I'm an equal opportunity door-holder.
Man or Woman, if you are walking through a door with your children, the door should be held! If you are a human being and you breathe air…it is common courtesy.
What kind of asshat douchebag doesn't hold a door open for a parent with young children?
Guess I kind of answered my own question, huh?
My superpower is the ability to time it precisely so that if I let a door go, it will slam directly in the face of the person following behind me. And so, I generally will hold doors open forever, so I can't be inadvertently responsible for breaking someone's nose.
Also, I like to hold doors for anyone with both hands occupied (um, a little girl attached to each one?).
Yes, Sir Chivalry would seriously like to have is balls unmashed.
I am SO glad you posted this, I am constantly wishing I could yell at people who let the door slam on my toddler and myself. Especially when I am clearly struggling because my preemie baby hit a growth spurt and is now the size of The Jolly Green Giant's kid Lil' Sprout. 33 pounds of wiggle? I think that warrants someone holding the door open. Jerkface.
What ever happened to simple things like that? Holding doors open? I briefly lived in LA, and thanks to parking garages and office buildings and random other things, I spent a lot of time in elevators. And I swear, there was this unspoken elevator etiquette there, where when the door opened, all men hung back for a moment and let any women enter or exit first. At first it threw me off, but then I realized this was the nicest, most chivalrous thing I'd ever seen. This was pre-kids, pre-everything that defines my life now. And people were genuinely considerate, on a regular basis, in Los Angeles! When my arms are full of cranky kids who won't leave their shoes on and I'm trying to make my way into the doctor's office less than 15 minutes late, I think a small act of consideration like holding the door for me is only to be expected. I certainly do it for other people.

March 5th, 2014 - 3:45pm
(Sequim) -- A Carlsborg man will face charges of felony eluding and hit and run after leading sheriff's deputies on a meandering chase of almost 20 miles today.
21-year-old Drew T. Balch was arrested on four warrants - 3 felonies for failure to obey court orders and a misdemeanor for theft.
The chase started in the Carlsborg area shortly after 8 this morning after a sheriff's deputy spotted Balch near Towne and Woodcock Road.
The pursuit ran through the rural areas north and east of Sequim and onto Highway 101.
Authorities say the chase reached speeds of more than 80 miles per hour.
Law enforcement from Sequim Police and the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe assisted sheriff's deputies.
Washington State Patrol troopers deployed a spike strip at milepost 277 near Gardiner that flattened all four tires of Balch's 1988 Chevy S-10 pickup.
Deputies say Balch drove on flat tires for a short distance before crossing the westbound lane and fleeing from the vehicle on foot.
Deputy Andrew Wagner was deployed on Old Gardiner Road and caught Balch on foot.
Deputies had attempted to arrest Balch on the outstanding warrants at a home in Carlsborg on February 12th but were unable to locate him.
Balch is expected to make an appearance in Clallam County Superior Court Thursday.

Does Anyone Deserve A Second Chance?
In Gino's case, his establishment, tragedy of freaking tragedies, had a little fire, and some thugs mugged Gino downtown and pounded his face like one of those Mexican piñatas or whatever those people call them. Despite his personal misfortune, his restaurant was open for 35 days so he still owed me for the days it was open, and the vig was running and running high. I'm not shaking him down; I'm conducting my business. Long story short: Gino offered me a restaurant on the other side of town, a nice place to take my comares and my associates' comares .
lesson of the daySo what's today's lesson? Pay your bills on time; that's one. And the second lesson is that no one deserves a second chance in life, except blood (by second chance, I mean you need a change for redemption because you've screwed yourself more than a guy on death row, you've become a stool pigeon, or you've made the mistake of your life — not because you left the milk on the counter, capisce ?).
Here's why almost no one deserves a second chance:
The big picture
No one around you should be weak. Requests for second chances only come from people who can't get their act together in the first place. Second chances mean someone, somewhere, disrespected you, betrayed you, or made a fool of you in some way. Loose lips and loose brains sink ships, you know what I'm saying?
Family members are the only people who deserve second chances, and only because they are blood. When I say family I mean your children, your parents or your uncle; not a long-lost fourth cousin. Your wife is not your blood; she doesn't fall in this category. Even if you see yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of giving someone a second chance, that person loses all your trust. They start at zero again. You don't forgive and you don't forget, you just give the family members a chance to redeem themselves.
Close friends
Close friends don't get second chances. Anyone who is close to you should know better than to screw you. A friend proves his worth in bad times, not in good. Any stronzo who betrays you puts you in bad times. You should never be put in a position to give any friend a second chance. It violates the principle of what a friend is. Their job is to be by your side; how can they do that if you don't trust them?
Like the old saying goes; "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." F**k that; fool me once, there isn't going to be a second fooling, just some cement shoes. Track record means nothing to me, it just means I might expel you from my life instead of whacking you.
Colleagues and women, and a dummy's e-mail of the week...
