That's right, you can establish native grasses in one growing season when you use PLATEAU® herbicide, along with the proper techniques. PLATEAU® can be used in a variety of ways, pre-emergent, post-emergent, no-till or clean till.
PLATEAU® controls more than 60 broadleaf, sedge, and grassy weeds which compete with new native grass seedlings.
PLATEAU® is labeled for use with big bluestem, little bluestem, indiangrass and sideoats grama. But what makes it even more attractive as an establishment tool is there are a number of forbs which are tolerant to PLATEAU®, such as: blackeyed susan, purple coneflower, upright coneflower, lance leaved and plains coreopsis, lespedeza species, partridge pea, Illinois bundleflower, purple prairie clover, desmodium species and others
When nature calls, Plateau Herbicide answers!
PLATEAU Herbicide
Plateau herbicide can be effective in providing the weed control and can be helpful in making the green turf areas more high lightened. Plateau is termed as an imidazolinone herbicide which is effectively applied on PPI, EP, PRE or POST to control the growth of grass. Plateau herbicide also makes notable contributions in controlling the cheat grass before the seedling. The damage is very minimum in these types of grasses hence the use of such grasses is at maximum rate on prairie grasses. The plateau product also works on pre emergent and post emergent grasses.Size container is 1(one)gallon liquid.
The active herbicide ingredient ranges from 23.6 % ammonium salt to imazapic.
Native warm season grasses (NWSG) and forb mixes provide excellent cover, nesting and food sources for wildlife. They attract insects vital to chick and poult survival and later produce seeds to maintain birds throughout the winter.
The tall grasses provide excellent overhead cover needed for protection and creates bareground for chicks to bug and travel safely. NWSG clumps produce abundant nesting sites as well as protection from winter storms.
PLATEAU has revolutionized tall fescue control. ROUNDUP is a short term fix, resulting in marginal control of existing fescue and no residual control of new fescue seedlings.
Countless trials and field use have shown that Plateau applied alone or in combination with Roundup provide superior control of fescue over Roundup alone.
When fescue reaches 8 to 10 inches in height apply:
SPRING APPLICATIONS: The recipe for success.
To improve control, prepare your fescue the previous year by mowing or grazing it to reduce foliage and it's root reserves. Another option is to burn the fescue when it begins to break dormancy that spring in late February or March. This removes all debris and allows the herbicides to come in direct contact with new green vegetation and the soil to stop new germination of fescue. Fall applications can be as effective but spring applied PLATEAU will give you season long control of fescue seedlings and competitive weeds like foxtail, crabgrass, lambsquarters, pigweeds, Japanese stiltgrass, johnsongrass and over 70 other grasses, sedges and broadleaves.
PLATEAU is the first herbicide specifically registered for the establishment and maintenance of mixed NWSG and forbs. It can be safely applied to established big & little bluestem, broomsedge, Indiangrass, sideoats and blue grama as well as over 40 legumes and wildflowers including Illinois bundleflower, partridgepea, prairie clover, lespedezas, purple coneflower, black-eyed susan, coreopsis, cosmos and desmodium sp. (beggarticks). PLATEAU has been shown to increase NWSG stand survival by 8 to 10 fold over Roundup alone, thus allowing you to use less seed to achieve the same desirable stand. Using 4 ounces PLATEAU at planting provided good results in establishing switchgrass and eastern gamagrass in mixed grass stands.
PLATEAU can achieve this at low use rates minimizing the chemical load on the environment. PLATEAU works by interrupting a pathway only found in plants not in humans or wildlife. PLATEAU can be used to control problem weeds without compromising the values and agenda for wild habitat restoration.
Use 20 gallons of spray solution per acre. Tank-mix: 8 to 12 ounces of Plateau + 1 quart of Roundup Ultra + I quart of MSO per acre + 17 Ibs of Ammonium Sulfate per 100 gallons of water.
Along with Plateau Herbicides, also check out our full range of post emergent, pre emergent herbicides. ePestSolutions also provides both selective herbicides and non-selective weed control products and spray additives for effective weed control.

You, sir, are absolutely correct about that. Shaking my head at myself for this right now. Although, I don't mind having people to lean on when it comes to Primal.
I don't mind leaning on people here either. (Heck! Without having to come to the MDA Forums I would have never started chatting with someone as awesome as you!) But honestly I would have rather learned properly from the start instead of having to make up for it now.
There's nothing wrong with treating your daughter at all though, don't get me wrong or anything. Just think of healthier options that you can share together. Or take the other route and help her learn that foods like cake are OK as an occasional indulgence but that there are healthier options. Eventually she'll learn to make wise food decisions for the majority of the time and still have the freedom to enjoy the occasional "bad" food once in a while without the guilt.
Well, I ended up letting her take the junk food to school. I have no idea how much of it she ate or what her friends ate.
Wouldn't have expected anything less. :) Once a child is promised something you've gotta see it through. Hope she enjoyed it!
She did, but right now she's mad that there isn't anything left of the steamed artichoke! She said "Mom, there's no more leaves left:( "
Oh my goodness what a freaking cluster f at work today. I swear we went backwards again today! Oh well, it happens in this job. Got up and did my 10 Min Trainer today, Lower and Total body. This evening, the kid and I had some fun hoola hooping for about 30 minutes. I'm pretty glad I did that because Gabi needed to burn off some energy. WOW was she hyper tonight. She's come up with a new dance, the Cactus Dance. Perhaps your kids have done this one? She's a trip, I love it. I enjoy a good laugh and there never seems to be a shortage of them with her.
B: 2 pieces of bacon, about 2 cups spinach cooked in the bacon grease. Seasoned with salt and goat cheese
S: 2 handfuls of blueberries, 1 oz macadamia nuts, 3 pcs 85% lindt
L: Bacon cheeseburger and maybe a few carrots. I was too busy talking and listening to my lunch mate to eat that much.
S: 1 pc 85% Lindt
D: ARTICHOKE! Steamed up 2 of them. Cooked some pork bacon sausage too (had a little kick to it!). I did steam up some broccoli, but that turned out to be leftovers. By the time I was done with my artichoke and sausage, I was full. Did I mention I may have had too much garlic tonight? I don't know if that's even possible, but it could be. I did purchase some goat's milk butter and clarify it for dipping my artichoke leaves. Soooooooooo good!
Drinks: Water, 1 cup Coconut Milk, and some Sweet Pea Apple Wine tonight. The sunset was just beautiful tonight, so I thought some wine with it would be nice.
I just have to say that even though my daughter is fighting eating the Primal way, she's embracing the fun activities aspect of it. Tonight, she staged a one person Facebook intervention. Her idea was this: 1, we HAVE to make sure to go for a walk when getting home. If the computer is off when we get home, it stays off, WALK FIRST! 2, if I get Facebook time, she gets TV time (that's completely fair). 3, She will come out of her room after bed time to turn on the TV if she thinks I'm on FB. It's a deal, but she wanted me to put it up to a vote first. I love the way democracy works in our house, lol. I had a fun night with Gabi, but now it's time to get to bed. G'night all!
You 2 are cute. And I love how close you are with your daughter. Your relationship sounds more like an agreement between freidns then a dictatorship of a parent. Lucky girl to have a mom like you.
Hopefully work will be better for you tomorrow!
Thanks :) We have our moments.
Fun, yet crazy day today. Work was another crazy day today.
B: 3 slices bacon, brisket, sauteed onions and peppers
S: Mixed berries, about 1 cup, 2tsps each chopped walnuts and pecans
L: Half a BAS and no meat. I wasn't feeling it at lunch. Used the homemade salad dressing
S: Two gluten-free vanilla graham cookies (taste testing them to use in a cheesecake recipe tomorrow) Some Tia's ranch chips, One small bag of Terra mixed root chips
D: One kabob (I got full after that one) consisting of 3 pieces of kabob meat, some onions and two potato cubes
S: Oh, yeap, popcorn
Drinks: water and coconut milk.
So, as you can see, I sort of went overboard with the not so great snacks. We went to see Hunger Games tonight, which was awesome. I did get in one 10 Minute Trainer, Yoga Flex. Have I mentioned how much I love Yoga Flex days? They are so relaxing! Tomorrow, I'm making an amaretto cheesecake. The last few times I've made a cheesecake, I've replaced the regular sugar with agave nectar. It's still pretty good stuff, plus I don't make a huge cake. Not the size you see in Cheesecake Factory , at least. Well, that's it for tonight. Shorter post because I am tired and I get to sleep in tomorrow!
I'll post more later, but I did a full pull up today! SCORE! And now I shall go rest since I've been up all night.

Now that it seems Cueto and Volquez will be in the rotation I'm compelled to look at how we compare with the Cubs and Brewers. I think we match up very, very well!
I'm assuming Pitt, STL, Hou will all be significantly worse.
Reds vs. Cubs
Harang or Zambrano (call it even)
Arroyo or Lilly (call it even)
Cueto or Hill (call it even - high hopes for Cueto!)
Volquez or Marquis (edge to Volquez)
Fogg/Belisle/Bailey or Dempster/Lieber/Marshall (edge to Reds)
Reds vs. Brewers
Harang or Sheets (call it even - possible edge to Harang for health)
Arroyo or Villanueva (even - possible edge to Villanueva)
Cueto or Suppan (edge to Cueto)
Volquez or Bush (edge to Volquez)
Fogg/Belisle/Bailey or Vargas (Edge to Vargas)
I'm not sure if I've got the Brewers order correct. But I like the Reds rotation better anyway you slice it.

The king of lovers rock style of reggae, Maxi Priest, returns to Hawaii after a long absence to headline the 2014 Summer Reggae Festival at Maui Tropical Plantation on Friday evening. The festival will also feature Big Mountain, Mitchell Brunings and Ekolu.
The British reggae legend Priest amassed an international following with his smooth, soul-flavored romantic ballads like "Close to You." Employing Jamaican rhythms as a foundation, he applies his rich voice to an appealing blend of R&B and pop creating a refined style of contemporary reggae which he has characterized as "bright, fresh, positive and uplifting."
Born in Lewisham, England, southeast of London, Priest first became involved with music through his profession as a carpenter, building sound systems for various bands and singers. He changed his original surname, Elliot, to Priest after discovering Rastafarianism. He took the name from the Priest Levi, a figurehead of the 12 tribes of Israel. Hitting the British charts in 1985, the versatile artist gained international attention a couple of years later with his cover of Cat Steven's "Wild World."

He is one of only two British reggae acts (along with UB40) to have an American No. 1 with "Close to You." His duet with Roberta Flack in 1991, "Set the Night to Music" was a Top 10 hit.
Over the years, he's also worked with such reggae stars as Sly and Robbie, Shaggy, Beres Hammond, Shabba Ranks, and mostly recently with UB40 and the catchy single, "Dance Till The Morning Light" from their popular 2008 album, "TwentyFourSeven."
Priest's just-released latest album, "Easy to Love," his first new studio release in seven years, is mostly in the lovers rock vein that made him famous. It includes a duet with Beres Hammond and a cover of John Mayer's "Gravity." Reggae greats Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, and Earl 'Chinna' Smith back him on the CD. Since his 1985 debut, "You're Safe," he's sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.

This week's Mixed Bag
Some of this year's Na Hoku Hanohano Awards winners will perform at Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Yokouchi Pavilion on Saturday. This special Na Hoku Hou show features Hulu Lindsey, Kamaka Kukona, Jeff Peterson, Sean Na'auao and Yoza with Willie K and band.
Winner of the Female Vocalist of the Year award, Carmen "Hulu" Lindsey won for her album, "A He Leo Wale No E." Backed by a stellar trio of steel guitarist Jeff Au Hoy, pianist Aaron Sala and guitarist Kamakoa Lindsey-Asing, the album features a lovely collection of hula standards and Hawaiian favorites like "Pua Be Still," "Lei Kiele" and "My Sweet Gardenia Lei."
"I've been singing for 55 years and I sat in this audience many times just honoring all the beautiful singers that Hawaii has, and I so love our Hawaii music," Lindsey told The Maui News after her win.
Kumu hula Kamaka Kukona won Male Vocalist of the Year (tied with Mark Yamanaka) and Most Promising Artist for his debut album "Hanu 'A'ala." He became the sixth person in Hoku history to win both awards in the same year, and it was the first time in 30 years that the ceremony had two male vocalist winners.
Singing gorgeous lead vocals and all the harmony parts, Kukona plays pahu and ipu on his winning album. Its song selections range from the stirring chant, "Hole Waimea," and the classic "Honomuni," to the original song, "Eo Hana," and a cover of George Strait's country hit, "You Look So Good in Love."
Inspired by time spent on the road, Jeff Peterson's "Slack Key Travels" has won him another Slack Key Album of the Year Award. One of our leading exponents of Hawaiian slack key guitar, this serene, mostly original collection is shaped by his love for our islands.
"I was thinking of starting with the tradition of slack key and traveling out, exploring different sounds," Jeff notes. "The feeling is very nahenahe, very soothing and relaxing. A lot of the songs are in new tunings that I've never written in before."
Winner of the R&B Album of the Year for her self-titled debut album, Yoza is an exciting, emerging talent with a powerful, soulful voice. Fusing R&B, hip hop and Latin influences, she recalls artists such as Lauryn Hill and India.Arie. Accomplished on guitar, ukulele and saxophone, she will be accompanied by Willie K (and his band), who played with her at the Hoku Awards ceremony on Oahu.
Lastly, popular contemporary Hawaiian musician Sean Na'auao won for Best Engineered Album of the Year for "Na'auao."
A founding member of the Mana'o Company, as a solo artist Na'auao has won a number of Hokus including Island Contemporary Album of the Year for his popular "Fish and Poi" and Reggae Album of the Year for "Progression."
Blessed with a beautiful falsetto voice, in recent years he has returned to his cultural roots, with his latest CD featuring a sweet collection of Hawaiian and hapa-haole songs. "I'm so fortunate to be blessed to be able to perform Hawaiian music," says Na'auao.
* Na Hoku Hou will feature Hawaiian music award winners Hulu Lindsey, Kamaka Kukona, Jeff Peterson, Yoza and Sean Na'auao at the MACC's Yokouchi Pavilion at 6 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $35, $45, and $75 (plus fees). Call 242-7469.
Popular singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb plays a Moonlight show on Friday at the MACC. In 1994, Loeb became the first unsigned artist to top the American charts with her single, "Stay (I Missed You)," from the soundtrack to the hit movie, "Reality Bites." The song spent three weeks at No.1 after the film's release and eventually sold over 750,000 copies worldwide. "Stay" earned Loeb a Grammy nod for Best Pop Performance.
"I was really lucky, I got to make music the way I wanted and somehow it got through the system," says Loeb. "In retrospect, it was really miraculous."
Born in Dallas, Loeb studied piano as a child, but later switched to guitar. "I started writing music and then at 14, I started writing lyrics," she recalls. "I always loved music and was in a band in high school and was a DJ at parties."
Loeb's debut album, "Tails," sold gold and earned another Grammy nomination, as did her follow-up, "Firecracker," which included the Top 20 single, "I Do." On her latest, "No Fairy Tale," she creatively shifts pace with a crunchier, harder-hitting sound. It includes collaborations on two tracks with Canadian twins Tegan and Sara.
"It's full of punky, poppy, rock energy," she says. "Philosophically, it's about life with its ups and downs being richer than a perceived fairy tale life."
"Eighteen years after 'Stay,' 'No Fairy Tale' finds Loeb throwing caution to the wind and letting her pop instincts hold sway for almost an entire album," praised AllMusic. "It's hands down the most fun (of her career)."
* The Lisa Loeb by Moonlight show will start at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the MACC's Yokouchi Pavilion. Maui's Gail Swanson will open. Tickets are $30 and $45. Call 242-7469.

ALISON ELLIOTT IS NOT YOUR BMW-driving, purebred-puppy-toting kind of promising young actress. Her dog, Baby, is a 3-year-old part-spaniel stray that she found wandering the streets of Los Angeles. "She always had her tail down," says Elliott, 25. "It was broken." Elliott's car—a 1958 chrome-laden Olds-mobile Super 88—also requires tender loving care. "It all comes down to the fact that I'm cheap," Elliott concedes. Still, thriftiness has its thrills. "When my water pump blew in the middle of the desert," she says, recounting a recent mishap, "a family living in a trailer park happened to have a son-in-law who could fix it for 100 bucks. You can't buy an experience like that."
Nor can you buy the raves Elliott has been winning as femme fatale Rachel in director Steven (sex, lies and videotape) Soderbergh's new thriller The Underneath. "Elliott is pitch perfect," wrote Caryn James of The New York Times, while David Goodman of the Associated Press predicted that "newcomer Elliott, perfect as the movie's temptress, is likely to go far." Not bad, considering Soderbergh's parting words to Elliot when the movie wrapped in April 1994, after an eight-week shoot in Austin, Texas. "Don't worry," he said playfully. "I can always cut around you." Explains Soderbergh: "I tend to tease people I like. And I like her a lot."
Elliott's chief concern right now is handling the pressures that may come with fame. "I'm actually afraid of this new step," she says, sitting amid flea-market finds in her rented duplex apartment in Hollywood. "Drawing attention to myself has never been a goal." Still, it's hard to go unrecognized when you're an actress as busy as Elliott. This month she can be seen in the HBO movie Indictment: The McMartin Trial, about the 1984 child-abuse scandal at a California preschool, and later this year she'll be in the Masterpiece Theatre production of Edith Wharton's The Buccaneers. She is currently in Vermont filming the drama Care of the Spitfire Grill with Ellen Burstyn.
If Elliott is wary of too much attention, it may be because she has often attracted more than she wanted. The second of three daughters, Elliott was born in San Francisco, but her father Bob's work as a computer executive (her mother, Barbara, teaches nursing) took the family to Tokyo when Alison was 4. Feeling conspicuous there as a blue-eyed American, she came home at age 8 to find she was the only kid who had never heard of Saturday Night Fever. "I was like this childhood freak," she says.
By tradition, of course, swans usually are. When she was 14 and attending San Francisco's alternative Urban School, where students design their own curriculums, Elliott began modeling locally and went on to spend the next four summers doing fashion shoots in Tokyo and Paris. At 19, she made her acting debut, alongside Halle Berry, in a shortlived sitcom called Living Dolls. Cast in 1993 as the wife of Morgan Earp in Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp, she thought she had found a hit. She hadn't; the movie flopped colossally.
So, you might say, has Elliott's love life—if she didn't seem so content about her current state of no affairs. "No romance, no romance, no romance for me," she sings, quoting an '80s pop song by the group Cameo. Happy enjoying good food and wine with her friends, she says, "I think I'm just too damn picky to have a relationship now and too absorbed in my work." She does have her dog, who's something of a canine mood ring. Elliott calls her Baby when they're both feeling good, Beast when their spirits are low. "For the moment," Elliott says, "she's my soulmate."

Where you can go where the boats are bigger than the apartments? Portofino, Italy that's where. Once a little fishing village clustering around a small harbor, since the 1950s this small town on the Italian Riviera has been the summer playground for the rich and aristocratic of Europe and Britain, and when these people go to the seaside they go on very large, very luxurious yachts. A cluster of pastel buildings lines the horseshoe shaped bay, and most of the seafront is cafes and restaurants – none of them particularly cheap.
The village is car free although you can drive to a small, often crowded car park nearby. Really the best way to arrive in Portofino is by boat; there are ferries for those of us non-yacht-owning types, coming from Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo and Camogli. Once you get to town, the things to see aside from celebrities are the medieval castle – it's an Italian town, of course it has a castle – Castello Brown which sits in lovely gardens on a hill above the village and has great views over the coastline. Its other main attraction are the photos of the many famous visitors of the past. This is a town proud of the magnetism it exudes on well-known people. On the way to the castle pop into the church San Giorgio and the lighthouse on Punta del Capo; I personally have a great weakness for lighthouses. If you like walking, you can hike about two hours (or you can take a boat) across the peninsula to the 11th century abbey Abbazia di San Fruttuoso. And don't be put off by all those steep cliffs dropping into that perfect clear water – there are beaches dotted not far away along the riviera.

I made some bone broth and it's pretty good. I'm wondering what I can use it for rather than just drinking it.
Soup base... most fancy restaurants make their own fstaring with bone broth.
Anything in cooking with beef that calls for beef broth or water, use your bone broth.
Poached eggs.
I often reduce it by almost half, then freeze in ice cube trays, storing in a ziplok bag in the freezer. Anything you're cooking that could use a bit of extra liquid, toss in a cube or three, with added flavor. Great with ground beef/veg mixtures.
I cooked some pot roast with beef broth comprising most of the liquid recently. It also makes great chili and soups as mentioned above.
Pho! Mmm...loads of sliced beef, veggies, who needs noodles?
[QUOTE=naiadknight;1046949]Anything in cooking with beef that calls for beef broth or water, use your bone broth.[/QUOTE]
Making taco meat? Add in some bone broth along with your spices.
Make a quick au jus-like sauce by reducing bone broth with coconut aminos, salt, garlic, onion powder (optional), and pepper. Reduce until the flavor is as strong as you like.
Make a quick gravy by reducing bone broth with heavy cream or wine and seasonings. May need a thickener like arrowroot powder or egg yolks to get the desired consistency.
Add leftover meat and veggies for a quick soup.
With green beans the way Mark does: [url=http://www.marksdailyapple.com/are-peas-and-green-beans-healthy/]Are Peas and Green Beans Healthy? | Mark's Daily Apple[/url]
I've even reduced it down with lots of garlic till it was very strong and drizzled it over a salad for a meaty flavored "dressing".
yeah,i like eat, Anything in cooking with beef that calls for beef broth or water, use your bone broth.thanks for your sharing[img]http://www.oldjoy.info/jiechiok/images/4.gif[/img]
HELP! Ok, I'm new here and can't figure out how to start a new thread. I will be getting a call today from the processor on how I want my beef cut. What bones should I ask for to make bone broth? What size packages? Is there any particular way I should request that they be handled or processed?
I am very lucky in that I am getting a whole, mostly grass-fed beef from my landlord to share with my sons. It was butchered last Saturday and is being dry-aged. The plant will be calling today for cutting and packaging instructions and the only bones I've ever gotten before are soup-bones (ox-tail). Anyone with help or advice would be appreciated.

Hello - Can someone explain to me in very simple terms - the difference between a recoil-operated and a blowback-operated pistol. The only thing I can seem to figure out is that a recoil-operated pistol (like a BHP, 1911, Kahr, or Glock), has a barrel that pivots or swivels or moves to some extent when fired, whereas a blowback-operated pistol (like a Walther PP) seems to have the barrel permanently affixed to the frame, with no movement when fired. Am I right, and if so, tell me more as to how they actually work (simply). Thanks

Q: I was having drinks with two girlfriends when one of them said, "I did something awful." She told us that she was out at a work event and got very drunk and ended up kissing some guy. She apparently feels horrible about it, but says she will not tell her husband because it was a mistake and she knows she won't do it again. I tried to remind her that honesty is the best policy, but she doesn't agree.
I don't know her husband that well, but he's a really great guy and has the right to know. So should I tell him myself?
A: Oh for the love of biscuits, no. Egad. For one thing, "Honesty is the best policy" is a blunt instrument where a marriage is better served by a thoughtful, individual touch. ("Butt the heck out" comes to mind.)
And, it's a kiss, not an out-of-wedlock child. If he doesn't know about a single, regretted, drunken smooch, then the marriage can arguably hum along just fine. If instead he finds out about said smooch from a third party, the marriage can be knocked off its pins. And why? Because you want to feel as if you did the "right" thing?
If anyone should tell of an oops like this, then it should be the spouse. When a transgression is huge enough to demand reporting, a friend's place is to say, "I can't in good conscience keep a secret this damaging. You need to tell the truth, or I will be forced to." This smooch falls very, very short of the "huge" standard, but even if it didn't, it would be wrong to jump straight to tattling, especially on someone you call a friend.

The greatest love-rock, cock-rock band on the planet. The songs are so pumping and rocking, yet so soulful and melodic. Whatever mood your in, there will be a Whitesnake song that suits your situation. Plus David Coverdale is the best singer, songwriter and frontman in the world!!

Actor could face up to six years in prison
"Prison Break" actor Lane Garrison was charged Thursday with manslaughter and drunken driving for a crash that killed a 17-year-old boy in his car.
The 26-year-old actor was charged with felony vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, felony driving under the influence causing injury to multiple victims, felony driving with a blood-alcohol level above the .08 percent legal limit causing injury and a misdemeanor count of furnishing alcohol to a minor.
He could face up to six years and eight months in prison if convicted.
Garrison was expected to surrender Thursday afternoon for arraignment at Beverly Hills Superior Court and prosecutors will recommend he be held on $200,000 bail, district attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison said.
Garrison was behind the wheel of a Land Rover that jumped a curb and struck a tree on Dec. 2. The crash killed Beverly Hills High School student Vahagn Setian, 17, and injured two 15-year-old girls who also were in the car.
Garrison is accused of supplying Setian with vodka, Robison said.
Police said Garrison was found to have a blood-alcohol level of .20 percent and cocaine in his system.

We recently painted our house and found wood rot, which necessitated a lot of repair and replacement work on the clapboards. What can we do to prevent wood rot? — J.T., Swanzey, NH
Homeowners should inspect for wood rot annually. This is a good time of the year to check the condition of exterior trim, clapboards, windows, porches, and decks, because you'll have time before winter sets in to do any necessary repairs.
Wood rots when it gets wet because the dampness provides an environment favorable for fungi to breed; the fungi eat the cellulose and break it down. Any moisture can potentially attract the types of fungi that attack wood.
Early detection is the key to retarding deterioration. The simplest tool you can use to check your wood is an ice pick. Look for blistering, cracked, and peeling paint, or wood that appears spongy. Gently push the ice pick into the wood. If the pick digs in an eighth of an inch or more, there's probably rot. Treat the area with a borate-based fungicide; then repaint or resurface the wood. If there's major damage, replace the trim or clapboard before the fungi really take over. Wood-moisture meters are available at home-improvement and hardware stores, starting at about $100. It can save you time and money by catching a moisture problem before the fungi have a chance to settle in.

Cats and dogs love to dig in my flower garden and make a mess. I'd appreciate your help. — J.F., via e-mail
Making areas other than your garden more attractive would be one solution for your own pets. For your cats, set up an outdoor litterbox and encourage them to use it by rewarding them when they do. Plant a patch of catnip around it, too. For your dog, provide an alternative play area, set up a run, or put a fence around the garden.
If your visitors are neighborhood pets, try making your garden an undesirable destination; fence it off. Scent repellents may work, but some chemical formulations may not be appropriate around edible crops. (Check with your local garden center.) Or apply natural deterrents, such as cayenne pepper and garlic, to your plants.
Placing mothballs, hair (from your barber or salon), or citrus-fruit peels near the plants may be effective. Sharp stones or thorny branches, or planting your flowers through a lattice screen, will keep dogs and cats away, too. Gardener's Supply Company (Burlington, VT; 888-833-1412) offers "Cat Scat," a plastic mat with soft spikes that deters digging. Motion-activated sprinklers or an ultrasonic noise alarm activated by a motion sensor are other alternatives.

The U.S. school bus industry has been unwavering in its support of safety, with an unparalleled safety record to show for it. From the design of the buses to the training of drivers to the location of the bus stops, the industry has applied a full-court press to the issue of safe passage of our children.
I think more can be done. We do a wonderful job safely transporting the approximately 24 million schoolchildren who climb aboard our buses each school day. But we haven't been as successful in convincing parents and children who choose not to use our service that school buses are the safest, most convenient method of getting to and from school. We need to extend our safe practices to those children who are choosing not to ride the bus.
Think like a marketer
How? We need to do a much better job marketing ourselves. Even though we might not like to admit it, we are always battling an image problem. Yes, the yellow school bus is a venerated symbol of the U.S. educational system, often appearing in the background of TV news reports issuing from a school campus. But the reality is that most students, especially the older ones, view the school bus with disdain.
We need to deal with that perception by attacking it from another angle. Let's face it — we'll never change the minds of young people. Let's work on their parents.
If they really knew how much more dangerous it is for their children to ride to and from school in an automobile rather than a bus, they might think twice. That's the message that we need to send: Buses are not only convenient, but many times safer than cars.
As you're probably aware, the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies for Science released a study in 2002 that found that teenagers who drive themselves or ride with friends to school — rather than ride a school bus — significantly increase their risk of being killed in a traffic accident. You need to figure out a way to relay this information to parents.
Use words like arrows
Here are a few ways to hit your target audience:
For years, the school bus has been known as the "loser cruiser" to many youngsters, especially high school students. Although we'll never be able to make it cool to ride a school bus, we should emphasize its relative safety and convenience to parents every chance we get.

Malfunction of any nitrous oxide, or nitrous oxide/oxygen, delivery system can lead to harm or death of the patient. The magnitude of the problem is not known, since reporting in the medical literature is spotty at best, and reporting in the lay press is attended by much fanfare. Nevertheless, there exists a problem and it would appear reasonable to question whether nitrous oxide has so much to offer that such deaths as will occur can be accepted as a "justifiable overhead."
Technically, nitrous oxide is not an anesthetic agent but rather an analgesic; were one to opt for a purist approach, he would be hard pressed in justifying the use of a "nonanesthetic" agent where the primary objective is a condition of "anesthesia." Pragmatically, the physical properties of nitrous oxide are such that significant physiologic disturbances may occur at the time its administration is discontinued ("diffusion hypoxia"), while at the

An upbeat note from Brean Capital's Ananda Baruah is leading Seagate (STX +3%) and Western Digital (WDC +2.9%) to rally. In spite of weak PC sales, Baruah expects industry hard drive shipments to total 130M-135M in calendar Q1, down just slightly from Q4's 136M and in-line with guidance. Moreover, he sees the potential for 5%-10% 2H shipment growth, and ASPs and margins are seen benefiting from a mixture of better capacity utilization, stronger retail revenue, rising hybrid drive shipments, and a mix shift to enterprise and 500GB single-platter notebook drives. LSI +1.4%. MRVL +0.8%.

I guess aliens would be the ones buying those hard drives. Even the so called hybrid hard drives are being shelved by OEM manufacturers for pure SSD in laptops. Another paid analyst trying to drive up valuations based on made up analysis.
Hybrids are not worthwhile till you start adding flash storage of at least 128MB and in that case one might as well get a pure SSD
Hybrid drives do a pretty good job to be honest. In real-world simulated benchmarking (PCMark, etc.) even 8-24GB of NAND makes a world of difference. In the future I predict that the vast majority of HDDs sold will have some sort of NAND cache to help alleviate their multitasking weaknesses, which can only be a win for NAND manufacturers. It just makes sense for HDD manufacturers to integrate the NAND to bring prices down. It might eventually add just ~$10 onto the cost of the drive, while a separate SSD (for caching or OS use) would add far more to an OEM design.
THe PC industry is a declining & commoditized biz. Look @ the historical share price of WDC or STX and you will find out they are @ there peak in a decade or 3 decades for WDC and this is in a declining market. Ask yourself if that makes sense in declining market.There's absolutely no reason why their valuation should be higher now than @ the peak of their market (the last decade) Neither company has a plan to fully start producing SSD, both are still focused on hybrids. While there's no doubt more storage will be needed in the future, most will be for enterprises where cloud and such will be housed. Most consumers will be buying external harddrives just to back up essential data while the rest will be based in the cloud.
If the Touch UI adoption continues in the pc market, the desktop will be a thing of the past except in work places so the market will dwindle even faster. The advancement of cellphone has put a very big dent in the momentum of the pc biz.
If either company decides to fully go into SSD production , then they have a chance to continue to dominate the storage market.
Apple has the best impleentation of hybrid drives right now and it's only midway performance with it's SSD caching. Remember HD disk affect not only perfomance but also battery power, with ultrabooks becming norm , there will be no use for HD disks except in external drives for consumers. Here's good review & analysis of Fusion drives http://bit.ly/WUixNt
Interesting how there is such a debate about the HDD stocks. The bull argument I believe goes like this: There is only two (three with Toshiba) HDD vendors now and they know the market is in decline so they will not add capacity or be a price spoiler - driving down ASPs and ruining profits. The demand for HDDs will shift from notebooks to high capacity 10,000 RPM drives that will sit in cloud. Capacity growth will ultimately help overcome unit growth declines. Cash flow will remain strong because gross margins will not collapse (new 27-31% range) and companies will reward share holders with share buy back and nice dividends. I personally do not believe STX and WDC will keep pricing non competitive in the 10,000 RPM space and ultimately with unit declines the gross margins will fall to 22% range where the mean has been over the past decade. Stock prices will follow down gross margins.

Isn't the Keystone XL Pipeline in Our National Interest?
Won't it reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil? Won't somebody else develop the Alberta tar sands if the U.S. doesn't do it -- someone like China, perhaps?
I've been wrestling with many of these issues as I contemplate risking arrest as part of two weeks of sustained protest by leading environmentalists, climate scientists, and faith-based groups at the White House forth to pressure the Obama Administration to block the Keystone XL Pipeline. This pipeline project will connect Canadian tar sands -- containing the second largest and dirtiest oil reserves on the planet -- with the oil refineries in Texas.
Climate Witness as Act of Faithfulness
The earth dries up and withers ... The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant. - Isaiah 24:4-6
Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! - Deuteronomy 30:19
During the 1980s, many Christians were at the forefront of a movement to avert nuclear annihilation. They saw this transcendent threat as a moral crisis and felt a responsibility to nonviolently resist, including acts of civil disobedience and divine obedience. Today, we face a comparable danger -- a climate catastrophe which could decimate life on earth. Yet it seems not to have been picked up on the Christian "radar screen" in the same way. For this reason, it is actually more insidious.
Why is America Cutting Emergency Food Aid in the Middle of a Famine?
When I first visited Ethiopia at the height of the 1984 famine, I watched as twenty-four people died of starvation in less than fifteen minutes, right in front of my eyes. Barely five years into my career as a Congressman, nothing my staff told me beforehand could have prepared me for what I saw on that trip.
Gasping at awful photographs of unspeakable human suffering is one thing; bearing firsthand witness to human suffering is another thing entirely. Glancing at a picture of a starving child in the newspaper, you can always turn away, but when you're staring into the eyes of a mother who has just lost that child, it's a completely different story. There's no looking the other way.
That's why I often describe those first Ethiopia experiences as my "converting ground" on issues of global hunger. What happened in Ethiopia changed me, and changed how an entire generation looks at hunger.
It's also why I'm currently back on the Horn of Africa, reporting on the ground from the Dadaab refugee camp in eastern Kenya, less than fifty miles from the Somali border. And I am appealing to my affluent brothers and sisters in the United Stated and around the world not to look away. We need your help.
Neocolonialism and Cowboys & Aliens
Americans have a hard time knowing how to respond to the sins of our colonial past. Except for a few extremists, most people know on a gut level that the extermination of the Native Americans was a bad thing. Not that most would ever verbalize it, or offer reparations, or ask for forgiveness, or admit to current neocolonial actions, or give up stereotyped assumptions -- they just know it was wrong and don't know how to respond. The Western American way doesn't allow the past to be mourned or apologies to be made. Instead we make alien invasion movies.
Saying Goodbye to Uncle John: My Memories of John Stott
John Stott died this Wednesday. He was 90 years old. What many people don't understand is that he was the most influential 20th-century evangelical leader in the world, with the exception of Billy Graham. Stott became the Anglican rector of All Souls Church in downtown London at the age of 29 in 1950, and he stayed there for his entire ministry. But from his parish at Langham Place in the city's West End, and right across from BBC headquarters, John Stott spoke to the world with 50 books that sold 8 million copies. He also traveled the globe , speaking, teaching, convening, mentoring, and bird watching -- a personal passion.
Perhaps the most telling thing about this man is all the personal stories about "Uncle John" that the world is now hearing, from many Christian leaders around the world who were profoundly influenced, encouraged, and supported by John Stott. And secondly, how such a giant in the Christian world remained so humble, as testified to by those who knew him who say how "Christ-like" he was.
Where Has All the Sanity Gone?
Where has all the sanity gone?
I, for one, never expected in my wildest dreams to pine for the days of Ronald Reagan. But I'm there.
And for everyone who is blaming "everyone" on this debt ceiling debacle, you're just dead wrong. The Democratically controlled House and Senate in the 80s did not hold President Reagan hostage when he had to raise the debt ceiling. And that is exactly what is happening. And the problem is that this is a train wreck that has been months in the coming. The only thing that we don't know is how bad the carnage will be.
A Moral Budget: Politics, Policies, and People
Several weeks ago (right before I left for my sabbatical), I joined with six other pastors from around the country -- in partnership with Sojourners -- to draft an open letter to Congress and President Barack Obama regarding the budget and the proposals to cut certain programs that aid the poor in our country. Our hope was to invite at least 1,000 pastors to join us in signing this document.
As of today, we've had nearly 5,000 pastors and Christian leaders from all 50 states join us in signing this open letter, and we hope to keep adding voices and signatures. As a pastor and Christian leader will you add your voice to let our political leaders know that you stand with the poor?
Read the letter below and if you resonate with our message, please sign your name.
Harry Potter, the Deathly Hallows, and Mobilizing Kids for Social Justice
Seeking justice for the oppressed. Working to end the connection of child slavery to chocolate. Helping heal a devastated Haiti. Mobilizing young people to respond to a story of redemption by imaginatively working to build a better world. I think many of us Christians would hope that those words were describing the work of the body of Christ, intent on following the path of Jesus Christ in this world. In this case, they are actually descriptions of the Harry Potter Alliance. That's right -- the Harry Potter Alliance.

There's a dream cast, a dream orchestra, and a dream production of the soulful and tuneful Broadway musical Dreamgirls, now rocking the stage at Toby's Dinner Theatre of Baltimore. After producing Dreamgirls in 2007, this new Toby's production of the Tony Award-winning musical is directed by David Gregory, a veteran Toby's performer and Artistic Director of Teatro101, a small theatre troupe in Baltimore.
Dreamgirls takes the audience backstage into the professional careers and personal lives of an all-girls 60s singing group. We are there with lead-singer Effie White (Crystal Freeman), Deena Jones (Shayla Simmons), and Lorrell Robinson (Ashley Johnson) as they rise to fame, engage in backstage squabbles, and develop romantic and damaging relationships with their manager Curtis Taylor (Jonathan Randle). Along for the ride are Effie's brother and composer C.C. White (David Little), and hyper-singer/performer James 'Thunder' Early (Ray Hatch).
From the get-go, the glitzy and glittery colorful costumes by Janine Sunday, the colorful lighting by Lyn Joslin, and star-making performances of the cast – complement the dazzling songs composed by Henry Kreiger with lyrics by Tom Eyen, who also wrote the book. The simple set by David A. Hopkins allows the fast-moving action to be the center of attention.
Toby's veteran Ray Hatch plays James 'Thunder' Early (he also played him in the 2007 production), and is fabulous as the James Brown-like performer who shimmies and wiggles his way through his performances and his female fans. His energetic performance of "Fake Your Way to the Top!" almost blows the roof off. Mr. Hatch also contributes the choreography that employs dance styles from the 60s and 70s.
The hard-working cast and ensemble – filled with athletic dancers – get their motor running in high gear when they perform "Cadillac Car," with some of the dancers pretending to play instruments. Their beautiful harmonies run as smooth as a Cadillac car's engine! Another slick number is "Steppin' to the Bad Side," which features ensemble members wearing gold vests, black hats, and carrying briefcases while performing cool moves in silhouette with hot red lights beaming down upon them.
Crystal Freeman, as Effie White, is simply a force of nature! So moving is her rendition of "(And I'm Telling You) I'm Not Going", that the night I attended the show, the audience gave her a standing ovation! And what an actress she has become since playing Effie in the 2007 production here at Toby's. Crystal has grown in the role of the firecracker Effie – who gets replaced on The Dreams for unfair reasons. In her volcanic rendition of "I Am Changing," she reclaims her self-esteem and grabs the audience and never lets go of them until the final curtain. It's a tour-de-force.
Jonathan Randle is superb as the car salesman-turned-corrupt-manager Curtis Taylor. The highlight of his performance is his sweet and sincere rendition of "You Are My Dream," sung to his now-rebelling wife Deena. It's one of the few moments in the musical where you actually like Curtis, and it's all due to Randle's multi-layered and well-directed performance.
As for the remaining members of The Dreams – Ashley Johnson's Lorrell is hysterical. Whether it's a turn of the head or inflection in her voice, Johnson adds much needed humor to the show. She's also a fine dancer, and a stretch of the arm or twist of the hip adds some 'steamed heat' to her performance.
Shayla Simmons's Deena is beautifully acted. Her glowing beauty and heartfelt singing draw you in, as you watch her become putty in the hands of her manipulating husband, Curtis.
Director David Gregory keeps the show moving at a fast pace. He not only highlights the fabulous Henry Krieger/Tom Eyen score – but he also tells the story of these intense characters so well. So many other directors of productions of Dreamgirls (that I have seen in the past) forgot that there was a great book here, and Mr. Gregory's cast tells that story through both their beautiful vocals and powerful acting.
Enjoy a terrific dinner and this supreme production of Dreamgirls. All you have to do is make a reservation, and you'll be there….at Toby's Dinner of Baltimore to see this dreamy Dreamgirls!
Running time: 2 hours and 45 minutes, including one 15 minute intermission.
Dreamgirls plays through November 13th at Toby's Dinner Theatre of Baltimore – 5625 O'Donnell Street, in Baltimore, MD. For reservations, call (410) 649-1660, or purchase your tickets online.

Lane was suspended for disciplinary reasons that haven't been specified. The junior from Daytona Beach, Fla., was reinstated this summer, but he didn't appear on the pre-training camp depth chart — an indication he had to regain the coaching staff's trust.
He's been trying to show how much he's changed since his reinstatement.
"I live my life like it's fourth-and-inches every day," Lane said. "It can be taken from me at any second. I just go out there and give it my all."
Lane worked out on the side with Tennessee's injured players Sunday and Monday after spending much of the last week wearing a green non-contact jersey, but Volunteers coach Butch Jones said Sunday it's just a precautionary measure and running backs coach Robert Gillespie reiterated that Monday night. The Volunteers need Lane and Rajion Neal to form a solid one-two punch in the backfield as they attempt to end a string of three straight losing seasons.
With a first-year starting quarterback throwing to an inexperienced receiving corps, Tennessee's passing attack could struggle early in the season. Neal and Lane must be productive to take pressure off the passing game.
"In this league, you have to be able to run the ball," Gillespie said. "The better teams are the ones that can control the clock and move the chains. We do understand that we have one of the best offensive lines in the country. We have to be able to produce behind them. I challenge those guys. I constantly ask, 'Who's going to be the 1,000-yard rusher? Who's going to be the guy?' "
Lane once seemed far from being that guy. While Lane sat out much of spring practice, Neal solidified his position atop the depth chart. Lane wasn't reinstated to the team until June.
"It was very difficult," Lane said. "The whole team became a family. Being separate from them is being without my family. I just learned to appreciate what I've got."
But he didn't stay far away during his suspension.
Lane said he talked just about every day during that period to Jones, Gillespie and even former associate athletic director David Blackburn, now the athletic director at Chattanooga.
"They just told me what you give is what you get, hold your head up high no matter what goes on," Lane said.
He's had a different attitude since his return.
"Marlin's hungry," Neal said. "He had the ball taken away from him. They truly say you don't know what you have until it's gone. He truly realized in a matter of a second, ball could have been over for him. He came here with a different mindset. He's excited. He's working. He's honestly happy to be around the guys. That's really what it's all about."
Lane and Neal now are eager to improve upon the effective combination they had formed last season. Neal ran for 708 yards and five touchdowns on 156 carries last fall. Lane rushed for 658 yards and two touchdowns on 120 attempts.
Neal rushed for 500 yards through the first half of the season before an ankle injury forced him to miss two games. Lane picked up the slack and ran for 473 yards through the second half of the season, exceeding the 100-yard mark against Missouri and Vanderbilt.
But instead of building on that late-season momentum, Lane ran into trouble this spring and had to earn his way to reinstatement.
Now that he's learned his lesson, Lane's ready to make amends.
"If you stare in the past, you're always going to be brought down," Lane said. "I'd rather keep moving forward."

I used to have frequent bouts of UTIs. My doctor was prescribing me antibiotics but it really had a negative effect on my body. I researched high and low and finally I found Cranrich. One a day kept UTIs at bay. However, I wanted to share my experience. I was recently really stressed and tired though I was still eating 1 pill a day. Yet, I developed a minor UTI. I was desperate and my doctor gave me Cipro. I reacted so bad with symptoms of slight depression and constant exhaustion. I totally was not myself. I stopped after 3 days and I was back to my happy self right after. So, I figured, in times of stress, pop once in the morning and once at night and everything will be just fine. It worked for me. :)
Over the years I have some urinary pain but my doctor has never been able to find an infection. I started taking cranberry capsules a year ago and not had any further problems. These cranrich capsules work well and seem to be about the best priced on the market - esp with their high concentration ratio of 36:1
this works !

Uruguay Malvinas Forum will celebrate anniversary blasting March referendum
This Friday the Malvinas Forum, chapter Uruguay will be celebrating its first anniversary and is expected to announce a statement strongly rejecting the coming referendum in the Falklands on the Islands political status which is scheduled for March 10/11. The meeting will be held in Maldonado where it was originally launched.
According to the Argentine embassy in Montevideo sponsor of the Forum, the celebration will be attended by Uruguay's Foreign Affairs minister Luis Almagro; Defence minister Eleuterio Fernandez Huidobro and Senator Luis Rosadilla among some of the outstanding local personalities who have confirmed their presence.
Argentine ambassador Dante Dovena said that the document will expose the "theatrical referendum", which is no referendum at all.
"It is like asking people if they like water. Nobody likes water as such but we all need it, thus it is a question which needs not even consideration.
Asking the Islanders if they wish to remain British is obvious they will say yes. That is not the question, the question is that they are illegal settlers on Argentine soil", said Ambassador Dovena.
He added that Argentina does not want to infringe in the "lives of the British people in Malvinas; we want to defend their interests because they are in Argentine territory, but this does not mean we must consent their wish to remain British. This is not in their hands because peoples' self determination refers to indigenous populations and this is an implanted population following an illegal occupation and forcible usurpation, which besides the UN does not recognize".
"At the Forum we have worked hard all year. The Forum is a great help and support from Uruguay because it is a true expression of the Uruguayan people, made up with representatives from all political parties, academics, business people", indicated the Argentine ambassador.
He concluded by arguing that the Forum not only helps Argentina to consolidate its claims over the Malvinas, but also consolidates an international right from South America "to keep our territory for Latinamericans and not for foreign powers".

Down Economy Provides Opportunities to Improve Physician Relations
Hospitals and health systems are doing everything they can to hold onto market share in a competitive environment and a down economy. But there's another asset that marketers and physician relations professionals must protect, lest the competition steal it away: physicians.
Although market conditions make your hospital vulnerable to competitors who would woo your star physicians away and undermine your most profitable service lines, there are ways that the current economic climate can actually work in your favor when it comes to physician relations.
For an upcoming issue of Healthcare Marketing Advisor, we asked the experts how the economy might affect physician relations tactics. Here's a sample of what they told us:
Delayed retirement plans make employment more attractive to physicians. You should have a strategy that ensures you do not overpay for physician practices if that is a strategy you are pursuing, says Joel English, executive vice president of BVK. But, he adds, don't miss out on opportunities to integrate on terms that may be the best in years.
For example, he says, consider revisiting those specialists who may have been planning an early retirement to see if their plans have changed and whether there are new opportunities to partner. Employment may be an attractive near-term option for some who are more focused on stability than entrepreneurial opportunity in this changing economic environment.
Slowdown in patient volume means physicians have more time to help increase patient volume. The economic downturn can create some new opportunities for physician liaisons, says Leslie Dean, director of planning and marketing at FirstHealth of the Carolinas.
Previously overworked physicians may find their once-busy practices slowing down as patients delay or forego treatment, for example. As a result, they may be more willing and available to make visits on referring physicians and to participate in community education events that increase patient volume.
Patients' financial woes are an opportunity to help physicians. Physicians are worried about reports that patients are cutting back on medications, physician visits, and discretionary health care costs, says Roberta Clarke, associate professor at Boston University. "My experience has been that practicing physicians have been most affected not by the decline in their personal incomes (although their incomes clearly have taken a hit) but by their patients' inability to pay for and receive needed care," she says.
Hospitals, providers of diagnostic tests, and others that offer to work with these patients by extending payment terms, without the threat of ruining their credit history, is a better way to enhance relationships with physicians than generating additional business for them.
Don't forget, she adds, to promote the service to physicians—not only to gain the physicians' appreciation but also so that the physicians will know that they have this option to offer their patients who might otherwise forego needed care.
Look for more expert advice on marketing to physicians in a down economy in the May issue of Healthcare Marketing Advisor. Look under the "supplemental info" heading to download a free sample issue (free registration required).
