New inspection article: Concrete AdmixturesNovember 24th, 2010
Admixtures manipulate the properties of concrete to make it more workable, to make it set faster or slower, and to change its color and texture. Inspectors who know more about admixtures can add to their arsenal of knowledge to use during the inspection of concrete components at a home or commercial property. Read about the different types and their functions in Concrete Admixtures.

HANOI, 4 April 2014 – UNIDO's flagship publication, the Industrial Development Report (IDR) 2013 was presented in Hanoi today.
The report examines the role of structural change and employment and explores the underlying drivers of structural change in manufacturing. It also provides a detailed and largely path-breaking account of how structural change has taken place over the last 40 years.
Participants at a panel debate, organized during the presentation of the IDR, underscored the role of manufacturing and its transformation in employment generation and draw policy implications for inclusive and sustainable industrial development in Viet Nam.
Panelists included Le Huu Phuc, Deputy Director General of International Cooperation Department, the Ministry of Industry and Trade; Dang Phuong Dung, Vice President cum Secretary General, Viet Nam Textile and Apparel Association; and Ha Xuan Quang, Vice Rector, Hanoi University of Industry; Ludovico Alcorta, Director, UNIDO Development Policy, Statistics and Strategic Research Branch, and Patrick Gilabert, UNIDO Representative in Viet Nam.
Le Huu Phuc said the key findings and policy implications of the IDR "are relevant to Viet Nam as the country is focusing its efforts and resources to find the appropriate policy to address short-term issues, and in the meantime to ensure medium and long-term tasks to improve national competitiveness, promote growth, economic structural change and employment".
The event was co-hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The IDR 2013 is available in several languages here

Added a product review for United Mothership v2 Frame 6/23/2013 3:29 PM
The Good: The frames geometry is great! The feel of the bike is just solid. I love the chain stay size because when I tighten my chain I put the peg on so the bolt of the peg is inside the dropout and all I need to do is tighten the peg side first then the chain aoutmaticly tightens up to a prefect tightness but besides that I love the frame the bottom tube looks great and I get a strong feeling from the ovalized part near the bottom bracket. It's a strong frame and I definitly recommend it
The Bad: The only bad thing I can say about this frame is the burgundy color looks terrible I thought at first I would like it and I did but when it's in the sun it gets a musty brownish look to it and its just terrible
Get the frame you won't regret it just watch out for the burgundy color

Added a product review for 2013 United 2013 Supreme Parts Kit Bike 6/23/2013 3:15 PM
The Good: The only good thing I got out of this part kit that I still use to this day is the cinema 777 rims which I like alot! Their very nice. The front femail hub. The stem. The bars. And the seat.
The Bad: First off I bought this about 24 weeks ago (that's what my Instagram says) I was happy at first with all the nice nice parts I got for the low price. But not that long after I started having problems. The rear casset hub locked up on my and my rear wheel would not spin at all so I replaced it. Then after that my cranks started to wiggle and it wasn't because the bolts were loose I had tried to fix it but couldn't so I replaced it. But the thing that really made me mad about buying this was when I was riding home one day and I hopped over a small gap and I barly even hopped too and in the middle of hopping my fork (the steer tube) snapped off and my bars (still attached to the stem) slammed down on the frame and dented it. So I had to replace the forks too. The other little problems were mostly things like the grips not lasting or not being able to get a hub guard to fit the front hub properly. And the sprocket teeth bent. The chain is weak. And the tired have no grip when you lean into a turn
The only thing I can say about this is, if you want to spend $500 on a front wheel, a seat, a stem, a rim, inner tubes, and bars then get this otherwise buy all the parts sepretly and don't take the cheap way out like I did because you willsurely regret it

Added a product review for And Forks 23 Fork 6/23/2013 2:52 PM
The Good: I love these forks! These forks feel realy strong! The tapered legs look great and leave some room for your foot if you do hang fives. I was at first nervous to get the 23mm offset but the second I got on my bike It felt great. Responsive steering and it makes it easy for hang fives and nose manuals. The paint on these forks is really clean and smooth I was amazed by how shiny and smooth the black paint was. The compression cap looks great also I love seeing the "&" logo on to of my stem. I am very happy I got these forks and I 100% recommend them!
The Bad: There is not one bad thing to say about these forks
I am extremely happy with these forks! & knows how to make good forks. Deffinitly get them

Love that the IEP pre-meeting went well! It's so nice to have a team that is positive, upbeat, and sees potential in your little girl!
About the chair....sorry it's a bit of a beast. It took us a while to get comfortable with Emma's chair, but it still feels like she is far away from me when I push it. Many times I walk beside Emma and push it from the side - that way we are walking "side by side". I usually even hold Emma's hand when I do that. Makes me happy inside!
- April 6, 2011 at 7:17 AM
- Karen Owens said...
@Kristina that's what bother's me most about the chair -- I can't push it with one hand and walk beside her. I seriously think I sprained my wrist trying to do that. Oh well. I guess I'm figuring it out. :)

The chair looks pink in the pictures! No joke about the beastliness of the thing. Yikes! All that really matters is that Angela is loved. By you and all of us too! I can't wait to hear about her progress.

@TusaRebecca -- It's looks a little more pink because of my photo processing. It is pink just not the shade I was hoping for -- I know that sound stupid but it's kinda like buying a fancy dress and they ship it to you in the wrong shade :)
- April 6, 2011 at 3:29 PM
So glad that the IEP went well! Our little one has a Zippie wheelchair - I haven't a clue how heavy it is, but it is heavy! I am rocking some new arm muscles between carrying our girl and heave hoeing the wheelchair into the back of our van. I know that someday we will have a wheelchair accessible van (hope sooner versus later), but in the meantime I hope my back holds out - we are a very active family too!

@Dannette We were so lucky that before Gavin died our community had a huge yard sale and raised enough money for the modifications on our van. We have a 2001 Ford WindStar and to make the needed modifications (without lowering the floor) was around 4 grand. Ugh. We would have never been able to afford it otherwise.
We are looking to get something better but the cost is really overwhelming!

We had the same experience with the same Invacare chair for Tyra. It is the tilt-in-space mechanism that adds so much distance and weight. Knowing that we would have to 'live' with this chair for the next 3-5 years I required the vendor to exchange the frame for something that was more appropriate to our lifestyle. Boy, was this not a popular request. They tried to convince me that this tilt-in-space system was the be all end all. We ended up using the same seating and putting it on the Zippie Quickie tilt-in-space (not the Iris). Loved it! Held up fine and people saw Tyra first rather than the gianormous chair. At the end of the day as you know it is about what works in your family and for your child regardless of the difficulties it may pose on providers. Something to think about. Especially for as young as Angela is and with the visual impairment having all the 'extra' distance between her and her peers/environment would certainly justify requiring the vendor to exchange the frame. (plus you could get the color you really wanted *)

EVER since President François Hollande was elected last May, things have not gone right for him.

His scheme to impose a 75% top income-tax rate on millionaires has been ruled unconstitutional by the highest court. Up to 1m protesters have challenged his plans to legalise gay adoption and marriage. As his credibility has drooped, so have his poll numbers, to record lows.

"Seventy-two thread count! You didn't think I was gonna count that shit?! If this was a drug deal, I would've shot Hotel Luxury Linens in the face!"
—Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening, "MTV's Next"
Aziz Ansari (born February 23, 1983) began performing stand-up comedy in the early 2000s, after moving to New York City to study marketing at NYU. His act focuses a lot on mundane everyday activities, pop culture, technology, and his experiences around celebrities such as his friend Kanye West.He co-created and starred in Human Giant, which ran for two seasons on MTV, was in several episodes of Scrubs and also starred in Amy Poehler's sitcom Parks and Recreation. In 2009 he played a small but memorable role as an obnoxious stand-up comedian named Randy in Judd Apatow's Funny People, and subsequently signed a deal with Apatow to write and star in three new movies. In 2011, Ansari played one of two main characters (the other being Jesse Eisenberg) in the comedy film 30 Minutes or Less.He co-created and stars in the Netflix original series Master of None, for which he received three Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series — making him the first person of South Asian descent to be nominated in any Lead Actor category.
Related Tropes
- Actor Allusion: A short clip from the MTV Movie Awards has Aziz playing "swagga coach" to Zach Galfianakis. As mentioned in this trope page, he has a major in marketing.
- Biting-the-Hand Humor/Take That: "Most shows on MTV aren't really my cup of tea. Mostly because I don't like giant pieces of shit in my tea." (Coming from a guy who had a show on MTV for two years and subsequently hosted the network's Movie Awards.)
- Black Comedy: More prevalent on Human Giant than in his own stand-up, particularly in the "Shutterbugz" sketches, which featured himself and Rob Huebel as nasty child-actor agents.
- Brick Joke: Aziz has a habit of making elements from previous jokes pop up hilariously in the context of another one:
- "We get outside of the airport, I take out the gun I had from the previous joke, [and then] I aim it at the puppies, bang bang! [...] I know some of you are thinking, 'Oh no the puppies, why the poor puppies?' I didn't really shoot any puppies, you're being stupid."
- Casanova Wannabe: Not so much in Real Life, but most of his film and television characters are variations of this trope. Parks and Recreation's Tom Haverford is a prime example.
- Hidden Depths: He graduated from New York University, majoring in marketing.
- Large Ham: His usual mode of operation. Turned Up to Eleven with his Funny People character RAAAAAAAANDY.
- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Anyone familiar with Ansari's style of stand-up knows that he does this a lot near or during punchlines.
- Running Gag: In both of his Comedy Central specials, he's imitated R. Kelly.
- Self-Deprecation: Does this once in a while.
- Stylistic Suck: All of his jokes as RAAAAAAAANDY are shock value and chauvinist bravado over any real substance, with the addition of lighting effects, smoke machines and occasional comments by a DJ/hype man. Should be seen to be appreciated.
- They Just Dont Get It: He says he overheard a waitress repeatedly trying to explain to 50 Cent the difference between grape juice and grapefruit juice, after he asked for the latter and got the former.Yeah, I get it, grapefruit, applefruit, orangefruit...
- Wiki Walk: Discusses how he was doing something important on the computer, and ended up wondering whether or not Home Alone 2 made more money than Home Alone. This led to him finding out that Joe Pesci recorded an album as a little kid.
- What Could Have Been: He was up for a role in the first Transformers movie, but passed because he found the stipulation that he had to use a fake Indian accent degrading.

Matt first warned the public about the dangers of Hardie's asbestos empire in an award-winning radio series in 1977. He has followed the tragic trail for more than 30 years: from the company's factories where workers had 'snowball' fights, to the mine where Aboriginal children played in the tailings, and into the homes of tens of thousands of Australians still at risk from Hardie's products, where asbestos lies in the walls, roofs and even under the carpets. less

Love Made it Happen
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 6:07:27 AM in John Hardy (28)
There is nothing more entrancing than love. So, among John Hardy's sets of handcrafted designer jewelry pieces, there is nothing more exquisite than the Cinta "Love" haute joaillerie collection. The Cinta showcases the Bali-based jewelry manufacturer's taste for unique pieces inspired by Asia's rich culture and done using modern European techniques. Each design in the collection centers around special shells or stones that designer Guy Bedarida collected from his travels, which the John Hardy team of expert jewelry makers then embellish to their most stunning looks. The Singhasari Naga Majesty cuff is made of 18k yellow gold that features a rubellite central stone flanked by two Nagas set in pink diamonds and sapphires. In Indonesia, the Naga is the cosmic dragon that brings love, prosperity and protection. This mythical creature is the favorite symbol of love in Bali, which is the reason why Naga made its way into John Hardy's Cinta, the collection that started out as John Hardy's special gift to his beloved wife.

ST is committed to reducing its energy consumption and associated carbon footprint through energy efficiency and conservation programs along with the purchase of CO2-free and renewable energies. ST carefully monitors and anticipates changes in the energy market to mitigate business exposure to climate change.
Since the 1990s, ST has been working to reduce its indirect Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions under scope 2 of the GHG Protocol. These initiatives have already halved our energy consumption per production unit, and we continue to work hard to make further improvements in manufacturing efficiency.
Ed Dobson, Facilities Director, Front-end Manufacturing & Technology
"Energy management has been a key aspect of ST's environmental strategy since early 1990s. We are committed to mitigate the impact our manufacturing plants have on climate change, in line with the GHG Protocol.
From ambitious saving targets, ST has reached a high level of energy efficiency performance, and we continuously strive to manage any further watts of energy we could save."
Sourcing strategy
ST's main source of energy is electricity, with only relatively low quantities of fuel and natural gas needed for air heating, abatement devices and general facilities.
ST's energy strategy covers both the generation and purchase of green energy. One of our targets in this area is to increase the amount of green energy purchased worldwide.
Our global energy sourcing department monitors and anticipates local regulations and the specific energy needs and prices for each of our sites.
ST carefully anticipates the evolving global energy market in order to increase its resilience and mitigate its business risks. When purchasing energy, we consider proposals that offer the optimum balance between cost and environmental impact.
We encourage sites to adopt renewable energy sources and greener energy technologies wherever possible, such as solar panels, which have been installed in Catania (Sicily), Geneva (Switzerland) and Grenoble (France) sites.
Energy consumption
Production fluctuations greatly impact energy use. Before any new major facilities equipment is purchased it is assessed under the TCOO (Total Cost of Ownership) framework, which evaluates the total cost of the equipment acquisition, maintenance and energy consumption over a ten year period, for all Front-end and Back-end facilities.

Post subject: Crying until picked up
My son Alfie is 5 months old and just recently he has started to cry until i pick him up then he immediatly stops. I then still run through all the checklist hungry, changing and he just wanted to be picked up and if i put him down again he will just start crying. My partner thinks i'm spoiling him and that i should leave him to cry. This is causing me some distress as i worry that he may grow into a spoilt child but on the other hand i can not bear to leave him get himself worked up. He also will not be with anyone else including my partner even if he can still see me in the room he won't get comfy or feed unless he is with me.
Please help any advise is greatly appreciated.

Babys are very clever, dont underestimate their intelligence. Your baby knows that if he crys youll come running.
I dont agree with just leaving him to cry, stay by the cot for a time, but do not keep on picking him up. As it has already lead on to him only wanting you.
If your partner is there, he should pick him up for feeds, and not give up. It would probably be better if you are not in the room to start off with, as your baby can sense you in the room.
Dont start worrying that your baby might not have had enough food, this is his way of trying to get you back as his faithful comforter.
It sounds horrible I know, but it will save you a lot of heartache, if you can pull away now, or both you and baby will be up and down like yo-yos.

It would appear that some exciting devices are in store at Verizon later this year. BGR has allegedly obtained the carrier's smartphone roadmap for the summer and fall seasons.
While Verizon passed on the Samsung Galaxy S II, it does plan to offer the upcoming Galaxy S III. No timelines are provided but a summer launch is likely.
Verizon also has a number of new Motorola RAZR devices coming (as new DROIDs?). Details are slim but a successor to the original RAZR, possibly known as the RAZR HD, could sport a larger and clearer display. There are no details on the other RAZRs.
A new flagship HTC device is also in the works. This new device could sport a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor with Adreno 320 GPU, a 5-inch 1080p HD non-Pentile display, HTC Sense 5 and a Scribe pen. It looks like Huawei is not the only competitor Samsung will have in the phablet space.

The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk.
Jacqueline Schiff
Contributed by: Zaady
Don't be a fault-finding grouch; when you feel like finding fault with somebody or something stop for a moment and think; there is very apt to be something wrong within yourself. Don't permit yourself to show temper, and always remember that when you are in the right, you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it.
J. J. Reynolds
To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.
Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)
Discreetly keep most of your radical opinions to yourself. When with people be a listener a large part of the time. Be considerate in every word and act, and resist the tendency to say clever things. The best evidence of your culture is the tone and temper of your conversation.
Grenville Kleiser (1868 - 1953)
It was not that she was out of temper, but that the world was not equal to the demands of her fine organism.
George Eliot (1819 - 1880)
Source: Daniel Deronda, bk. 1, ch. 7, 1876, of Gwendolen Harleth.
The growth of wisdom may be gauged accurately by the decline of ill-temper.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety."
Francis Quarles (1592 - 1644)
If a man does not control his temper, it is a sad admission that he is not in control of his thoughts. He then becomes a victim of his own passions and emotions, which lead him to actions that are totally unfit for civilized behavior, let alone behavior for a priesthood holder.
Ezra Taft Benson (1899 - 1994)

Righteous indignation - Your own wrath as opposed to the shocking bad temper of others.
Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
A man in such a mental state that the anger itself does him more harm than the condition which aroused his anger . . . suffers more from the vexation than he does from the acts that aroused that vexation. I wonder how long it will take us to realize that in matters of temper nothing can bring us damage but ourselves.

Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe Theme of Society and Class
First, class. As Crusoe's father tells us at the opening of the novel, Robinson Crusoe's family is of the middle class. This class, according to old man Crusoe, is the best since it neither experiences the extremes of luxury nor poverty. Young Crusoe, though, strains against his father's class preference and decides to set off on his own.
Second, society. This is a novel very concerned with what makes a society. We begin with Crusoe alone on an island and gradually we begin to see the social order come together. First, there are his animal friends (Poll and company), followed by Friday, the Spaniard, Friday's father, and then the mutineering Englishmen. Pretty soon the island is its own little society with Crusoe at the head of it.
Questions About Society and Class
- Why does Robinson Crusoe's father insist that the middle class is the best class? Does Robinson buy his father's argument?
- Who is at the head of the society of the island? And why?
- Why is Crusoe frightened by the footprint on the sand?
- What is Crusoe's relationship to Friday? The Spaniard?
Chew on This
Humans are inherently social creatures.
Man is a self-sufficient individual.

Heat stress is a horrendous way to die. The Australian sheep (like those pictured, from a previous investigation in Kuwait), would have struggled frantically for every last breath.
4,000 Australian sheep have died of severe heat stress within one day on a live export ship destined for the Middle East. TAKE ACTION below!
The mass deaths at sea in September last year constitute the worst live export shipping disaster in recent history.
The suffering of these animals is too horrific to even imagine. In soaring temperatures, the ship would have turned into an oven, with these thousands of individual sheep literally baking alive.
Tragically, it could have been prevented.
The sheep were loaded in Adelaide and Fremantle onto the Livestock Shipping Services vessel, the Bader III, last August. The three week journey to Qatar at that time of the year is always high risk -- with animals heading from an Australian winter into the heat of a Middle Eastern summer.
Even on a normal summer's day in the Middle East, the temperature can hover over 40 degrees placing animals at high risk and significantly compromising their welfare. It's understood that during this shipment, the temperature and humidity was even higher than usual -- making an animal welfare disaster inevitable.
It's almost impossible for anyone to imagine the horrors that these sheep endured. As heat stress takes hold, animals cannot eat or drink and eventually they may be too weak to even stand. Every breath is a struggle and these sheep would have fought frantically until ultimately succumbing to a terribly cruel death.
The risks of lengthy sea voyages for animals are well known with thousands dying on board each year -- from illness, heat stress, injury and starvation. To the live export industry, deaths at sea are a routine part of doing business.
For the 75,000 sheep on board the Bader III last year, their suffering and the ultimate deaths of 4,000 were considered a risk worth taking by an industry that has always put profit ahead of animals.
Inconceivably, it's 'business as usual' for the exporter responsible -- a company that is also currently under investigation for shocking live export breaches in Jordan and Gaza. Not only was LSS granted an export permit to send more sheep to the Middle East straight after this disaster, but last weekend they loaded tens of thousands of animals onto the same vessel in Fremantle -- in the middle of an extreme heat wave.
How can the government continue to put animals in the hands of a company that is still being investigated for serious breaches of welfare regulations?
Please email our political leaders urgently today.
Ask them: How can a company being investigated for ongoing live export breaches -- and that is already responsible for the deaths of 4,000 sheep at sea -- continue to export animals?

Hello - I have a 7 week old and a 3 yo and am looking for a double stroller so I can get out even when I am on kid duty. I am planning on the B.O.B. Ironman Duallie but just realized that you are not suppose to run with the car seat adaptor because it gives it a higher center of gravity. I can't wait to go running for perfect head control and can't always find someone to watch the kids. I am currently training for a 1/2 and plan on a Marathon in the spring.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone run with the car seat adaptor as long as there is a 2nd child in the seat?
I have tried three different strollers, and by far love the CTS system. First off, I will say that there is no stroller that you are suppossed to run in with baby's under 7/8 months old with out good head control. There are several strollers that you can buy special 'inserts' for that allow you to have younger baby's in the stoller.
I had a baby jogger II and that was pretty late weight, but it had no cover for the baby. And for the heavy price, they sure are spendy. Durable buggers though. I cannot remember the name of my second baby jogger- but it was purple.
Now, I have the Cheetah- one seater, and it is awesome. Lightweight, has a cover so my child does not throw anything out of stroller. Has a sun cover and a rain cover as well. I can covert it to a bike trailer as well. It is fast and easy to take down and put back together and if the bike tips over, the trailer does not. Finally it has a comfy 5 point harness system and room in the back if my child wears a bike helmet. It also has a arm strap to put on my wrist. (I watched the news one day where a baby jogging stroller rolled into the street and the baby was killed by a car. I cried so hard) It is spendy though- $300 at costco with the stroller jogger. The cougars are the doubles- and about $100 more.worth it - quality- and if have money to buy a BOB- maybe something to consider.
Here's an article on some recommendations:
But really look for this:
1. Jogging strollers with bigger wheels (about 20 inches) are able to move more smoothly
2. Comfort and Practicality - for you and your children. Is it easy to push, maneuver. 2 kids are heavy- a lightweight frame helps ease the burden of the added weight.
3. Durability - $100 jogging strollers do not usually withstand test of time (or in this case miles)
4. Safety - arm strap? strong frame? brake if no arm strap?
5. Warrenty/Return policy. No matter how much you pay for a stroller and how much research you do- what if you get it and it just does not feel right? Like my second stroller? Ensure that where you buy it from has a decent return/trade policy.
Schwinn, Bob, Instep, the REI CTS systems are all pretty safe bets.
Good Luck!
Stroller Racer Extraordinaire!
I know you don't like me racing with my stroller, but I will do my best to respect you and the race!

Hi All,
The requirement is to update Last Physical Inventory Count Date in Material Master.
I find in SE11-MARD(table) and DLINL(field)-Date of Last Posted Count for Unrestricted-Use Stock. But when i check in MM03 i could not able to find the filed. I think it is in Invisible mode. How to bring to Visible in Material Master.
Pls give me the solution, Urgent....
this field can only be updated with the inventory programs, it is not for manual entries as this would violate best accounting practise an audit rules.
IF you use special stock like consignment or batches, then the last inventory date is set in their tables and not in MARD.
This might be too late for you.
We had same issue and we updated last cycle count by direct table update after material master load. Reason being, we have to continue on same cycle counting program in SAP as legacy system. We needed last cycle count dates to get next cycle count documents. It worked pretty well.
Hope this helps-
We have the same requirement here at FPL. We would like to bring the last count date from legacy during conversion. I know we can do this with a program doing a direct table update. Our concern is that we could be missing some other tables that SAP updates behind the scene when a physical count is executed.
When you said that it worked pretty well what do you mean? Are you guys in production exceuting physical counts and using these converted dates with no problems? Is there an OSS note with an SAP recommendation?
Thanks and regards, Jose Oyon.

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) - Stemphylium Leaf Spot
Cause A complex of fungi is associated with leaf spot disease on spinach, but Cladosporium variable is believed to be the primary pathogen under cool and moist conditions. This fungus can grow under a wide range of temperatures, but 59°F to 68°F with relative humidity above 80% is most conducive to disease development. Spores can be moved by air, rain or irrigation splash, or equipment. Volunteer spinach can serve as a reservoir, particularly following spinach seed crops when many volunteers may develop in the field over the winter from seed that shattered to the ground during seed harvest. Some semisavoy types like 'Ozarka II' and 'Fall Green' have been shown highly susceptible in greenhouse tests and field observations.
Symptoms Early symptoms are numerous small, circular white to yellow spots, beginning on older leaves and progressing to younger ones. Spots often join together and then are irregularly shaped. Older spots develop a narrow darker-colored margin with a tan center. When the fungus produces spores, spots change to an olive-black. Generally, older leaves die, but in severe infections all leaves may die and seed may be affected. Ripening seed on spinach seed crops also may develop lesions, shrivel, and become infected with the fungus.
Cultural control
- Disc volunteer plants into the ground before planting spring crops.
- Avoid highly susceptible plant types.
- Hot water treatment of spinach seed at 104°F to 122°C for 10 to 20 min. can be very effective. Seed must be dried well after treatment to avoid reduction in shelf life.
Chemical control Fungicides used preventively help minimize the onset of infection and disease development.
- Bravo Weather Stik at 3 pints/A on 7- to 14-day intervals; begin applications just prior to pollen shed. For spinach seed crops only. Washington only (SLN WA-950036b). 12-hr reentry.
- Mancozeb formulations are labeled.
- Dithane DF Rainshield at 2 lb/A on 7- to 10-day intervals can be used on seed crops only. Washington and Oregon only (SLN WA-020028, SLN OR-020030). 24-hr reentry.
- Dithane F45 Rainshield at 1.5 quarts/A on 7- to 10-day intervals can be used on seed crops only. Oregon only (SLN OR-090016). No portion of treated seed crop may be used or distributed for food or feed for 1 year (365 days) after the last application. 24-hr reentry.
- Roper DF Rainshield at 2 lb/A on 7- to 10-day intervals can be used on seed crops only. Oregon only (SLN OR-130003). 24-hr reentry.
- Trilogy at 0.5% to 1%. Do not use above 90°F or when plants are under heat or moisture stress. Do not use when foliage is wet as good coverage is essential. Poor control as a stand-alone product. 4-hr reentry. O
Biological control
- Double Nickel LC at 0.5 to 6 quarts/A on 3- to 10-day intervals. Can be applied the day of harvest. 4-hr reentry. O

|Fabrication and Characterization of a Dual-mode SPR/SERS Sensor Based on Plasmonic Nanodome Arrays
|November 03, 2013
|This work describes a label-free, optical sensor system fabricated on a flexible plastic film with dual detection modalities: surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for specific chemical identification and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) for capture-affinity biosensing. The sensor surface is comprised of a close-packed array of 383 nm diameter dome structures with interdome spacing of 14 nm, fabricated by a nanoreplica molding process and unpatterned blanket deposition of SiO2 and Ag thin films. The nanoreplica molding process presented in this work allows for simple, high-throughput fabrication of uniform nanoscale structures (nanodome arrays) over large surface areas without the requirement for high resolution lithography, additional processes such as etching and liftoff, or defect-free deposition of spherical microparticle monolayer templates. Such fabrication characteristics are important for realizing high performance, low-cost measurement technology.

Annie Leibovitz has been publishing photographs for more than 40 years, on the covers of such magazines as Rolling Stone, Vogue and Vanity Fair. She's made indelible images of a nude, pregnant Demi Moore; of John Lennon curled up with Yoko Ono; and for good measure, the Queen of England. The Library of Congress has deemed her a "living legend."
But as she arrived for the opening of "Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage" at the San Jose Museum of Art, she talked about "snapshots" and photos as "notes" and about challenges common to everyone with a digital camera or smartphone in their hand. "Pilgrimage," which is both expansive and intimate, is her first all-digital, no-film-at-all project.
"I'm a student of digital like everyone else," she said as she settled into a big museum gallery, with nearly 70 of her photographs filling all four walls. "What's exciting about digital is what we didn't like about it to begin. Everything is so sharp! We're seeing things we couldn't see before."
Leibovitz, arguably America's best known working photographer, isn't a bit threatened that everyone can now be a photographer. She seemed delighted to say, "Now you're carrying around your phone, and it happens to be your camera.
"It's a thrilling time to be involved in photography--there's so much going on," Leibovitz said. She was enthusiastic about another show at the museum, "Rising Dragon: Contemporary Chinese Photography" which she had skimmed through upstairs before her own exhibit preview. "My images seem very tame. Look upstairs--you'll see the next big wave."
"Pilgrimage" may not be a big wave, but it's a new direction for Leibovitz, who is still best known for her celebrity portraits despite many books ("my freedom highway," she says) and international awards.
The exhibit and the expanded collection of photographs in the accompanying book focus on a journey that took her across the country and to England. She was searching for intimate details in the lives of everyone from Thoreau to Elvis Presley, Emily Dickinson to Annie Oakley. Although it wasn't a single trip -- it couldn't be her "day job," she said -- it eventually led all the way to Martinez and Carmel.
It's an intriguing lesson in looking and seeing -- tracking down the bed on which Thoreau slept in his cabin at Walden Pond -- and seeing what might be overlooked, such as the drawer filled with artist Georgia O'Keeffe's handmade pastels.
As well-conceived as "Pilgrimage" looks now, Leibovitz wasn't sure when she started where it would lead, not even to an exhibit. It began as a list of people and places she wanted to explore, after a dreadful series of personal and financial setbacks. Her mother, her father and her companion Susan Sontag had died. She was faced with bankruptcy after an expansion project went awry at her home in New York City's Greenwich Village.
There were a couple of starting points. One was the Massachusetts town of Amherst.
"I was at my cousin's son's bar mitzvah," Leibovitz recalled, "and my cousin said, 'Let's go to Emily Dickinson's house.'" And so they did, and to Emily's brother Austin's house nearby.
It was there, late in the day in a house that seemed to be "dissolving before your eyes," that she discovered the magic of a digital camera. "You could see into the corners, see into the dark."
Another route to the "Pilgrimage" began at Niagara Falls, where she had taken her daughters Sarah, Susan and Samuelle.
"It was at a difficult time in my business life and I was so depressed, I couldn't look at the falls," Leibovitz said. "What do you do, jump?
"But my children were so enthralled. I walked over, stood behind them, and took the picture. What's extraordinary is that it might be the Frederick Church bird's-eye view from his painting. But anyone can take this picture."
It might be the 10 millionth photograph of Niagara Falls, but it is enthralling, capturing the pale blue-green of the water as it rushes over the edge.
There are more not-quite-the-same photos of familiar American sites. The Lincoln Memorial in Washington? Leibovitz instead photographed sculptor Daniel Chester French's casting of his own hands that he used for Lincoln's. They're in his studio museum in Glendale, Mass. Elvis Presley's Graceland? Leibovitz captures the reflection of a staircase and dining room in gold-veined mirrors, making it look like a dream.
Always seeking and finding, Leibovitz discovered a notable Presley item in a warehouse at Graceland -- the television set from his house in Palm Springs with the screen shattered by a bullet. "David Letterman told me that he shot out the TV every time Robert Goulet came on," Leibovitz said.
Connecting the dots of American history and culture, she visited the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson in Concord, Mass., and was struck by Carlton Watkins' photographs of Yosemite and Mt. Shasta on a wall. She knew that John Muir was "enamored of Emerson," so her path led her to Contra Costa County and the treasure of notebooks and plant specimens at Muir's home in Martinez.
Photographer Ansel Adams had always been on her list -- he had taught earlier at the San Francisco Art Institute, where she studied in the late 1960s. She was determined to recapture one of his famous Yosemite photographs as an homage -- "that view belongs to Ansel Adams" -- though she had to elbow her way into a line of about 50 photographers at the site where he took the picture in 1944.
In the "Pilgrimages" exhibit section devoted to Adams, the largest, central photograph is of his darkroom in Carmel, where the magic of his images was completed.
Not everyone can walk into that darkroom, but Leibovitz discovers other revealing, intimate details of people's lives hiding in plain sight.

Priyanka Chopra talks about rumours of her affair with SRK
But possibly now Priyanka is feeling the pinch of being cornered and ignored by the star wives like Gauri Khan and Sussane Roshan, due to which she has finally accepted that she gets hurt when such scandals does not seem to end. Showing her 'no care' attitude over such issues, Priyanka told a leading newspaper that she does not prefer to give any importance to these issues.
Recently, Priyanka Chopra was apparently not invited at the Agneepath success party hosted by Hrithik Roshan and wife Susanne Roshan. As per sources, Susanne had deliberately not included Priyanka in the list, since she didn't want to upset Shahrukh's wife Gauri Khan, who is a good friend of hers as well. Possibly this step by Sussane has hurt Priyanka deeply.

Northwest Alliance to Promote Efficient Commercial Buildings
The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance announced on July 27th that it will spend $18.6 million over the next three years to promote energy efficiency in commercial buildings. The Commercial Sector Initiative, better known as BetterBricks, is expected to cut energy demand in the Northwest by 31 megawatts by 2015. The initiative will work with building owners and managers to encourage them to ask for energy-efficient, high-performance building practices in their new and existing buildings. Building types to be targeted under the effort include hospitals and other health care facilities, grocery stores, and commercial real estate such as office buildings. See the Alliance's press release, a related fact sheet, and the BetterBricks Web site.
The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance is a non-profit corporation supported by the Bonneville Power Administration, electric utilities, public benefits administrators, consumer interest groups and efficiency industry representatives. According to the Alliance's 2004 Annual Report, released in July, projects supported by the Alliance and related efforts cut energy demand in the region by 35 megawatts last year. One indicator of the Alliance's success: consumers in the Northwest bought more than 5 million compact fluorescent lamps in 2004, up from 3.8 million in 2003. See the annual report (PDF 475 KB).

If you want to Survive the Economic Collapse Buy Silver Now
The Economy is not going to recover it is on borrowed time right now. Do not believe anything you read or see on Television that says the economy is growing or houses are selling and the unemployment is down. These are all false statements made by the government to fool the general public and to keep the panic at a tolerable level.
The economic collapse of America is coming and it is picking up speed at a rapid pace. The price of gas is probaly rising as I am sitting here writing this post. I predict gas will hit $5.50 a gallon by the middle of summer, that should be enough to put the whole economy into a tailspin. The only thing that is stable right now is precious metals investing. To the average joe who does not deal in the stock market and does not understand how it works, it is understandable. But I will dumb it down as best as I can that you may understand. The value of the dollar is horrible now, the dollar is almost worthless or heading that way real fast. What this means is if you have $1000 dollars hidden under your mattress it could become worthless if the dollar and the economy collapse's. This would mean the only form of money in America would be Silver and Gold. Right now everyone with any sense at all is knee deep in buying silver and gold. Silver is at a all time high and those in the know continue to buy precious metals. If you have any money at all you need to move it all into silver. Buy Silver and wait this economic collapse out. The American dollar is just about finished, your money will become worthless over night, your only saving grace might be that you listened to me and bought silver and you can actually buy things your family needs in the middle of all the suffering that is to come.

Le Creuset Stainless Steel Cookware Giveaway
I don't know what it is about shinny stainless steel cookware, but it makes me feel like a professional chef in my kitchen!
Investing in high-quality cookware and appropriately sized pans makes all the difference in a good dish versus a great dish! I never believed this until I had the chance to use Le Creuset's Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware.
True story….ask my husband how many nights we've sat down to dinner and I've had a big smile on my face telling him how much I enjoyed cooking dinner! I've never been one that enjoys cooking…….baking yes, but cooking is more out of necessity for me.
Well, I've recently discovered having all the right tools in the kitchen, like a nice range and quality cookware can make such a HUGE difference in the whole cooking experience. Not to mention, my food is actually coming out better……and here I just thought I wasn't that good of a cook for all these year {wink}
It was like I had been driving a Toyota Corolla my whole life and someone suddenly handed me the keys to a Ferrari!
My new Whirlpool range has an induction cooktop, which I LOVE. With the correct pans, my chicken crisps perfectly over the high even heat, and my rissoto is more consistent than when it was cooked with my old range. The induction burners throw off so little heat that my kitchen stays relatively cool, yet I can boil water in half the time!
Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel cookware features a commercial grade triple-layer construction – a full aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of premium-quality stainless steel. The heat-responsive aluminum core extends up the sides of the pan to provide even heat distribution and to eliminate scorching and hot spots. A magnetized stainless steel exterior ensures compatibility with all cooktops, including induction.
All Tri-Ply Stainless Steel products are dishwasher safe and feature a precision pouring rim, which prevents spills and drips when pouring liquids directly from the pan.
Making my grandma's fudge was like a dream this year!
To help YOU become a better cook too, Le Creuset is going to give one lucky TidyMom reader a 10 piece Stainless Steel Cookware set just like I have!
The 10-piece set includes a 9 1/2″ fry pan, 2 qt. saucepan with lid, 4 qt. saucepan with lid, 3 qt. saute pan with lid, pasta insert and 7 1/2 qt. stockpot with lid.
Enter this giveaway thru the Rafflecopter widget below. If you don't see the widget, be patient because it might take a minute to load.
Giveaway ends on Dec 12, 2012 at 12:01 CST (official rules can be found in the rafflecopter widget)
**the giveaway ended on the rafflecopter widget on Dec 12 at 12:01 – I had made the mistake of putting Dec 13 here in the post, but the rafflecopter was the offical entry mechanism, and the giveaway ended at the correct time, Dec 12, 2012 12:01 CST – sorry for any confusion
Disclaimer: LeCreuset sent me one cookware set and are providing one to giveway. All opinions, views, and my new found love for cooking are all my own.

Late summer has been extremely busy for the staff at NALF. The Emerging Leaders Academy (ELA) was a successful event with Limousin members having had the opportunity to engage with CattleFax, National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), U.S. Meat Export Federation and JBS/Five Rivers. Additionally, participants visited a 30,000-head feedyard in northern Colorado that feeds cattle not only conventionally, but also to a variety of branded programs that incorporate Limousin cattle into natural programs like Laura's Lean, Tyson Natural and Meyers Natural Beef.
This class of ELA also had the opportunity to visit Magness Land & Cattle to get an overview of their operation. We thank those who contributed their time to assist in giving our ELA participants exposure to additional segments of the cattle business as we strive to meet demands for all involved in the production chain, including the consumer. I also thank the participants of the ELA for taking time out of their busy schedules to come to Denver for the two-day event.
The NALF Board of Directors had a successful summer meeting in August. As a result, you will start to see a more aggressive marketing campaign to promote the Limousin breed over the next fiscal year. The board was able to approve a zero budget, but at the same time was able to raise our national advertising dollars substantially by reinvesting a portion of our retained earnings at NALF over the last two fiscal years back into national advertising and promotion. The board remains aggressive in finding ways to generate new income for the Foundation rather than increasing member's rates during this trying time when the drought is still a major concern throughout much of the U.S. You, as members, will also start to see additional programs that will offer services from financing to corporate sponsorships over the next fiscal year that can help generate income to promote and market our breed.
NALF Board of Director President Bob Mitchell is continuing to stress that now is the time to market the positive attributes of our breed and what it has to offer to the cattle industry. NALF has spent a tremendous amount of time and money the last 10 years on technology, computer systems and research to ensure the Limousin breed has one of the best herd books in the country.
We now offer a genomic profiler through GeneSeek for breeders to incorporate molecular breeding values (MBVs) into their EPDs so breeders have an additional tool to make advancements on traits with greater accuracies, regardless of the size of your cowherd. With the investments in technology NALF has made, the board recognizes the fact that now is the time to market and promote the Limousin breed aggressively to the rest of the industry.
In spite of the recent press proclaiming the virtues of straight-breeding, many in the commercial cattle industry are aware of the value crossbreeding offers. These operations are utilizing what Continental breeds bring to their English-based herds as they market their cattle into feedyards, packinghouses and eventually the consumer. With forced and continued liquidation of our nation's cowherd, I continue to believe that with much of the commercial cow industry consisting of black-hided, English-based cows, Limousin-influenced sires can produce a calf crop that helps all the way through the production chain. The resulting progeny will increase weaning weights and produce great replacement heifers with maternal advantages that return dollars to the commercial cow-calf producer.
Those same feeder cattle will boost feed performance and increase dollars whether it involves running cattle on grass or moving cattle into grower yards or finishing lots. The improvement in feed efficiency at the stocker, grower and feedyard sectors of the business is apparent on closeouts when lower cost of gain and better dry matter conversion are the major factors in determining profitability. Those same cattle give similar economic advantage to the packing industry in terms of improved dressing percentages, pounds of useable product and less fat trim. Making cattle that have higher yield grades while still having the ability to grade Choice have great economic value to the cattle business. These advantages are dollars reflected in pounds out the back door that make a difference to a competitive packing industry that operates on the economy of scale.
After mentioning all of the above positive attributes, we need to remember that our cattle are grading better than ever before, particularly our Lim-Flex® cattle that are being used more heavily in the commercial cattle business. After feeding thousands of cattle in the feedyard business, I quickly learned that Limousin-influenced feeder cattle—that would be representative of the Lim-Flex portion of our seedstock business—were consistently grading between 75-85 percent Choice.
Once Limousin breeders addressed the docility issue and began breeding cattle with more rib and production traits, a lot of good has come out of those changes. Cattle that have a better temperament are more efficient at the feed bunk, and a side benefit to that is enhanced quality grade. Knowing that our purebred and fullblood cattle can be geared towards branded programs such as Laura's Lean and Strauss, while offering cattle that work in higher grading markets, I don't know of another breed that offers the advantages and diversity as Limousin do.
I would like to remind each of you to send your Pfizer Animal Health receipts to the NALF office on any products you may be using in your operation or your customer's herds. We are excited to be partnered with Pfizer Animal Health and this incentive program will add extra dollars that can be used by our breed for education, research and junior programs to advance and promote Limousin cattle long-term. In order for this program to be successful, remember to fax or e-mail Bobbi Hartwig your Pfizer receipts.
If you have any questions about the new services and programs offered at NALF, feel free to contact the NALF staff, we are here to help you!

Waley-Cohen finishes fourth in the National
Sam Waley-Cohen continued his record of success at the Grand National, finishing a worthy fourth in the race at Aintree on Saturday.
The amateur jockey riding 66-1 outsider Oscar Time was leading in the latter stages before being overhauled by eventual winner Auroras Encore, who also started at 66-1.
Waley-Cohen was runner-up on Oscar Time in the 2011 National, but thoughts of going one better this year evaporated with a superb jumping performance from Auroras Encore guided by his delighted jockey Ricky Mania.
Cappa Bleu (12-1) followed him home in second place, while Teaforthree (10-1) was third.
In total, 17 horses finished the race, but more significantly, all 40 runners and riders returned safely - organisers had made strenuous efforts to make the fences safer after two horses had been killed in each of the two previous runnings.
