Vines & Climbing Fruit
Sign up to our newsletter
As well as being attractive garden features, the grapevines in our range will ripen well in the UK climate and are perfect for desserts or making wine or juice. If you fancy growing kiwi fruits, try one of our varieties, which will produce bumper crops of juicy fruits. They need a sunny, sheltered position and are easy to grow and care for.
Kiwi 'Jenny'Actinidia deliciosa, Chinese Gooseberry Kiwi 'Jenny' is the only self-fertile, hardy kiwi variety in cultivation. A spectacular climber in its own right with red tipped, heart shaped foliage and the clusters of small white flowers in summer. The sweet egg shaped fruit can be harvested in August and September for a delicious freshly picked dessert. The ideal choice if you only have space for one of these spectacular climbers in your fruit garden. Height: 6m (20') Spread: 4m (13').Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years. |
Melon 'Outdoor Wonder' F1 HybridCucumis melo Customer RatingTrue to its name, Melon 'Outdoor Wonder' is ideal for growing outdoors through black plastic or under cloches. This Galia type reliably produces pale green fleshed melons even in less than perfect British summers, and has good mildew resistance too. The tennis ball sized fruits are the perfect size for a one person serving! Height and spread: 2m (6', 6"). Melons require high temperatures and humidity. In all but the very warmest areas cultivation is most successful in a greenhouse, or under cover of a cold frame or cloche when growing melons in the UK. More info |
Kiwi (Hardy)Actinida arguta, Tara Vine Customer RatingGrape-sized, yellow-green fruits with very thin 'fuzzless' skins are produced in 'September' and 'October' on vigorous twining stems. With a flavour that is generally sweeter than regular varieties, these unusual fruits are delicious eaten whole and don't even need to be peeled! This hardy Tara vine is self fertile, so you can grow it alone, without the need for a male pollinating plant. Height: 7m (22'). Spread: 5m (16'). Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years. |

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
During 2001 the Dutch Government set new renewable energy targets in order to comply with its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. These targets were confirmed during 2005, namely that renewable energy should provide 5% of total energy supply in 2010 and 10% in 2020, and 6% of electricity generation in 2005 and 9% in 2010.
In 2001 renewable energy had only a 1.3% share of overall energy consumption and 2.8% of electricity generation and it was felt that without further action future targets could not be met. Taking this into account, government policy attached a higher priority to those renewable energies which it was felt could make the greatest contribution: namely, offshore wind and biomass.
Until 2001, wind capacity had been increasing only slowly, with just 485 MW being installed by year-end. Thereafter, additions to capacity accelerated: 2002 and 2003 saw increases of 38% and 35% respectively and, although the rate of growth was lower in 2004 and 2005 (18% and 14% respectively), the turbines operational at end-year 2005 totalled 1 224 MW.
Study has shown that the available part of the Netherlands Exclusive Economic Zone (NEEZ) could support up to 6 000 MW of offshore wind capacity. The Government has built this figure, along with 1 500 MW of further onshore capacity, into its target that wind power should generate approximately 20% of domestic electricity demand by 2020. In the shorter term, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has agreed with the Dutch parliament that a maximum of 700 MW of offshore wind capacity should be in place by 2010.
Early in 2002 the consortium Noordzeewind (Nuon Renewables and Shell Wind Energy) was chosen to build a demonstration Near Shore Wind Farm (NSW) off the coast at Egmond aan Zee. The NSW is designed to have a life span of 20 years, at the end of which it will be dismantled. The intention is that the experience gained will greatly assist the development of further offshore installations, both larger in size and located in deeper waters. Construction of NSW began during 2005, the final turbine was erected in August 2006 and the first electricity supplied in October 2006. The research programme will last until 2012.
Construction began on the 120 MW Q7 wind farm, some 23 km offshore from Ijmuiden, in late 2006. The project is being developed by Econcern, Energy Investments Holding and ENECO. It is expected that the first electricity from Q7 will be generated in early 2008.
In January 2007, it was announced that the EIA for WEOM's (Wind Energy Development Company) 270 MW offshore wind farm, Den Haag II, had been issued and was open for inspection.
Along with Germany and the UK, the Netherlands is part of the European Offshore Supergrid® project. Initially 10 GW, the Foundation Project is designed to test the feasibility of interconnecting 2 000 wind turbines and supplying electricity to the national grids of all three countries. Ultimately, it is proposed that the system could cover the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the English Channel, the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean.

It's pretty much back to basics this year with lots of superheroes, sequels, remakes, origin stories, kid's fare and assorted action/adventures -- and plenty of 3-D, of course. Plus a few originals and potential surprises. Not covered but worth mentioning are: Thor, X-Men First Class, Rise of the Apes (with Weta doing some fancy new hair grooming and performance capture for CG apes), Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol (with Brad Bird making his live-action debut), Steven Spielberg's War Horse, Sherlock Holmes 2, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Priest, Super 8, The Thing, Conan the Barbarian, Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Smurfs, Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, Hop, The Muppets and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.
Sucker Punch (Warner Bros., March 25)
Zack Snyder's Alice in Wonderland [1]-inspired mind-bender could be this year's Inception [2] or Shutter Island [3]. Babydoll (Emily Browning) tries to escape from an asylum through her imagination with an elite fighting force of inmates and a virtual arsenal. The director of 300 [4] and Watchmen [5] goes for a stylized mash-up of World War I, samurai and serpents in his first original work. John DJ Desjardin (Watchmen) serves as overall visual effects supervisor, with production design by Rick Carter (Avatar [6]). VFX is provided by MPC, Prime Focus, Animal Logic, Pixomondo, among others.
Duncan Jones follows up his intriguing Moon [7] with a Groundhog Day-like techno-thriller, in which soldier Jake Gyllenhaal is sent into the body of a civilian to continuously relive the last eight minutes of his life until he discovers who was responsible for a train bombing and to prevent the next terrorist attack. VFX by MPC Vancouver, Modus FX, Mr. X, Rodeo FX and others.
Rob Marshall (Chicago) takes over for Gore Verbinski in helming the fourth sequel to Disney's popular Pirates [8] franchise -- and the first in 3-D from Cinesite. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) go after the fountain of youth only to discover that Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and an old flame (Penelope Cruz) are after it too. Can't wait to see how ILM raises its game (this time under the supervision of Ben Snow) along with support from MPC, and PLF.
Every Terrence Malick film is an event and this one appears to be a summary statement about the mystical relationship between humanity and nature: the loss of innocence for a young boy growing up in Texas in the '50s becomes an existential journey into the labyrinth of life in adulthood (played by Sean Penn) and the discovery of the miraculous. Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain co-star. VFX is overseen by Dan Glass with assistance by the legendary Doug Trumbull, and vendors include Double Negative, Prime Focus, Method Studios and others.
Ryan Reynolds plays the DC superhero imbued with otherworldly powers thanks to a mystical ring and entrusted with policing the universe with an intergalactic squadron. Martin Campbell (Casino Royale [9]) directs; Karen Goulekas and Kent Houston are the overall supervisors, with Sony Pictures Imageworks leading the vfx charge (spearheaded by Jim Berney) and support from Rising Sun Pictures and others.
Michael Bay's third go-around takes inspiration from Pink Floyd, as the Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon and try to beat the Decepticons in learning its secrets and gaining advantage in their final battle. ILM is back with new tweaks under Scott Farrar's [10] leadership and Digital Domain lends support as well with others.
David Yates helms the thrilling conclusion to Harry's battle with Lord Voldermort for control of the wizarding world and closure for our conflicted hero. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) return to Hogwarts to seek and destroy the final horcruxes. London's VFX industry in Soho has come of age with Potter [11], and it will be a treat to witness the final achievements of Double Negative, MPC, Framestore and Cinesite along with great support by Baseblack and Rising Sun (under Tim Burke's overall supervision once again).
Another Marvel superhero comes to the big screen under the direction of Joe Johnston (The Wolfman, Jurassic Park III): Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, who turns into Captain America, the country's defender, after volunteering for a secret research project that goes awry. Samuel Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury and Hugo Weaving co-stars as The Red Skull. Christopher Townsend is the overall supervisor with Double Negative as the lead vendor and Matte World Digital providing additional contributions, among others.
Jon Favreau (Iron Man [12]) tackles a supernatural western with Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and Sam Rockwell: Craig lands in Absolution, Arizona, in 1873 with a loss of memory and a mysterious shackle around one wrist, who teams up with hard-nosed Ford in combating marauders from the sky bent on taking over the planet. ILM, Legacy Effects and others provide the vfx mayhem.
Martin Scorsese's first film shot in 3-D is an adaptation of Brian Selznick's bestseller about an orphan boy (Asa Butterfield) living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station in the 1930s and a mysterious encounter with Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley), the father of special effects. Scorsese told The Guardian: "Every shot is rethinking cinema, rethinking narrative -- how to tell a story with a picture. Now, I'm not saying we have to keep throwing javelins at the camera, I'm not saying we use it as a gimmick, but it's liberating. It's literally a Rubik's Cube every time you go out to design a shot, and work out a camera move, or a crane move. But it has a beauty to it also. People look like… like moving statues. They move like sculpture, as if sculpture is moving in a way. Like dancers…" Rob Legato (Shutter Island) serves as overall supervisor; Pixomondo LA is the lead vendor. Legato tells AWN/VFXWorld, "The Melies recreations are stunning looking. In some cases impossible for the trained eye to see what might have been restored from what was recreated. First choice, of course, is restoration but we have recreated some moments and the behind-the-scenes shooting of the same. We recreated the glass house studio and the painted backdrops and fantastic costumes. A treat for film lovers."
Bill Desowitz is senior editor of AWN & VFXWorld.

Who Needs Another Trinket? 6 Gifts That Make An Impact (Part 1)Most of us spend much of the holiday season wracking our brains for the perfect gifts for loved ones and friends. Often the recipients are so hard to buy for because truly--there is little they need. The few wants they might have are typically out of our budget (the Porsche, the dream home!). Did you know that the vast majority of us would actually love to be able to help others? In fact, 83 percent of us would prefer to receive a meaningful gift that would help someone else, instead of a traditional holiday gift like clothing or electronics! But where to shop? You've come to right place! Our Million Moms Challenge partners have gifts that give over generations. World Vision: From a micro-loan, to clean water, to animals to ensure protein and transport, the World Vision gift catalogue literally has something for everyone. One of our favorite sections highlights a range of gifts that support girls and women in their fight for education, safety and empowerment. You can choose your gift here. Future Fortified: 100 percent of Future Fortified's proceeds go toward improving nutrition for pregnant women, new moms and young children. Their gifts are made of organic fabrics. Choose from cute onesies and bibs for the littlest amongst us, to this tote reminding us every day of our commitment to the future. Shop right here. Mercy Corps: "Give hope. Give a goat!"

ONE Campaign: Exclusively made for ONE, these beautiful scarves are handmade with 100 percent African cotton by fashionABLE, a company that works to create economic opportunities for women in Ethiopia who have been exploited due to the effects of poverty. Each style is named after the woman who designed it and includes a description of what she was able to do as a result of having the job. Purchase in coral here or slate and marigold here. We wear ours all the time! CARE: One person. One gift. One world without poverty. CARE shows what your donations, in either your own or a loved one's name, are doing around the world. Gifts are being matched, dollar for dollar, until December 31st and $100 is enough to place four girls in school for a year! That means for $25 you can put one girl on the pathway of education. Give here. Save the Children: You can buy ready-to-use food laden with nutrients, send an orphan to school or enroll a child in preschool. Our favorite is a donkey to help transport wares to market. Donkeys provide families with continuous labor pulling carts, hauling water and plowing fields. With a donkey, families have a greater chance of a successful harvest. Shop Save the Children's catalogue right here. The Take Action Challenge: Make this holiday season one that counts. Help mothers and their families with a small gift, and pass your compassion and good will on to your family and friends by giving the gift in their name. There is so much we can do.

| Is this a recovery partition that you are using to recover the system or the manufacturer's recovery discs that you burned when brand new or an actual MS windows 7 disc? What you need to do is a format of the C: drive on the hard disc first then start the recovery again. |

| i have an e-machine model: el1852g and the warranty expired last june so i don't have one and i do think the unplugging might have harm the computer completely but i just wanted to look for some solutions before i give up on it. ohh i see... but how come it did mess up with it that now i get the whole windows installation message? maybe it was the unplugging while it was restarting, idk do you know of anything i can do even if you dont i do appreciate taking your time and replying my post |

| If in the middle of the recovery process then unplugging can mess things up and have funny side effects you are facing now. When you switch on the desktop keep pressing F8 until you see a menu offering you safe mode and other options if you are able to and scroll down and choose Last known good configuration and press enter. See if that works please let us know. |

Rory McIlroy hits 400 yard drive in quick comeback after Masters setback

Rory McIlroy whacked a drive over 400 yards at the Malayasian Open and announced he had put his US Masters woes behind him
"There was more people upset about that round than I was," he said. "I'm fine. It's one bad round. I'll live and I'm getting on with it."
He shot 3 under par to be five behind leader Alexander Norem.
McIlroy soon showed he ha ut his master's driving problems behind him by whacking his drive on the par five fifth hole past the 400 yard marker thanks to a favorable bounce.
Asked if it was his longest drive ever he said; "Probably,""You don't say this too often but I was almost too close to the green on a par five. It must have went at least 400 yards.
"I was lucky it hit off the cart-path and it could have went out of bounds but it stayed in bounds for me and set up an easy birdie."
By the end of the round jet lag was evident as he missed some easy putts.
"I knew I was going to put a few bad swings on it just because of the way I was feeling but you know hopefully as the week progresses I can get better and shoot some better scores," he said.

Seem like he doing just fine, let's hope he can keep it up.
It's good to hear that he's feels like he's over his Masters' experience. Everyone goes through that "Gate of Pressure" sometime during their career. The problem is how many times one has to pass through it before they can acquire the right "Gate Key".
Hitting a 400 yard drive is something else that we are going to see more of, with or without a cart path in the mix. Every year manufactures are making better drivers and before long the young with win more tournaments than the older experienced pros. If some one don't get a handle on all these Teched-Up clubs we may be in store for a disappointment down the road.

Despite what you read below, I assure you, the objection was preserved (don't believe me? check out the end).
Powell was charged with breaking into his girlfriend's home. The trial court allowed evidence that he had ingested meth to show his mental state under 404(b). The court of appeals reversed. Unfortunately, Powell's counsel didn't object to the testimony, and later only objected to questions of witness credibility.
Defense counsel objected to the victims testimony of drugs:
I don't want the word drug used anywhere in this trial. It's not a trial about drugs and I'd prefer — my problem is you say methamphetamines and drugs, he's going to jail. I don't want that to happen. I — it's not a trial about drugs. I want to keep that out in particular.
However, defense counsel acquiesced regarding a witnesses testimony of drug use:
And this Greg guy, I guess, can bring out that testimony. If in fact he was doing drugs with the Defendant the night before, he can bring . . . that stuff out, I imagine. But the things that Greg said was he was — he told me he was going to get his son.
The guilty verdict was affirmed (and the court of appeals reversed). The concurrence (of 3) felt it was error to admit it under 404(b), but that error was harmless:
Rather, at the beginning of the colloquy over the admission of ER 404(b) evidence Powell's counsel plainly objected to the admission of any drug evidence based on its potential for prejudice.
The dissent (of 2) skirted around any discussion of harmless error, instead focusing on the preservation of the objection and on a lack of expert testimony that, though amphetamine was ingested, it had any affect on state of mind.
And if you're keeping track…this means the objection was found to have been preserved (5 votes preserved to 4 votes not preserved).

Another cool freebie for the taking! This time, the offer is available to both U.S. and Canadian residents, 18 years or older. It's a sample packet of Vitanity Drink Mix. There are five different nutrient mixes to choose from, depending on your needs–Charge, Focus, Amplify, Resist and Soothe. The nutrient breakdown for each mix is listed, so you can get an idea of what they are putting into their product, and whether it's appropriate for you.
After you choose your sample, you can add up to three flavors to put into the packets. Very cool! I chose Amplify with cherry and raspberry flavoring. The site says that your sample should arrive within 2-6 weeks. Check it out!
Disclosure: I did not receive any compensation or promotional consideration in exchange for this post.

This mattress top was worth every penny. It turned an aging bed into the most comfortable bed I've slept in. I highly recommend this product.
Shipped quickly. Love the product. Very comfortable.
In the picture the gel memory foam looks attached to the regular memory foam but it is not. It is two different pieces of material. No biggie it comes shrink wrapped and once you get it unwrapped it pops open. I aired it out for about an hour and put it on my bed. It also comes with a nice quality fitted sheet cover. It still holds heat which was what I was concerned about because I live in hot Florida and during the day my room get pretty hot. When sitting on the bed and all your weight is in one spot then you feel the heat more than if you were laying down with your weight distributed evenly. I have a fan in my room for the hot nights so no big deal but I did wake up from the best sleep of my life. Very comfortable and dense I thought I was going to feel my uncomfortable coil mattress underneath but I didn't. Well worth the price I am so glad I did not have to buy a new mattress.
My bed is both softer and cooler. I recently purchased an expensive mattress set but couldn't stay asleep. I realized that the mattress set is not only hot but made my bones hurt. This purchase solved my problem.
Excellent quality, very comfortable, prompt shipping.. Very satisfied!
the first few days I didn't notice any improvement but after a week I noticed a wonderful change. I have a pillowtop mattress but it has hurt my back since I bought it. I was about to purchase another when a friend suggested trying a memory foam mattress topper. I sleep great and no longer feel the tenderness around the pressure points in my body. This product is excellent. It conforms to the body and caresses it completely. Excellent product.
It's difficult to rate the comfort of this product: I think it depends upon the firmness of the mattress it is placed on. It has made a huge difference in our 10-year-old mattress. We had debated about spending $$% on a new thermarest mattress with the cooling gel, and then we found this product. Great value, works like a charm. The only problem, if you can call it a problem, is that now the bed is too high for our chihuahua to jump into bed with us! He tried for a couple of days, straining his little bitty muscles, but a couple of days on Rimadil and he's fine, and now he sleeps at the foot of the bed! A good thing for everybody!
I am enjoying the sleep with my new mattress pads. It was unexpected that they were two separate memory foam mattresses but it is fine and they work well together. I also didn't expect the cover to be a fitted sheet style instead of a zipper styled. But again, it works fine and I like it!
The first time I used this mattress top, my sleeping become much better. Now I don't have any discomfort in my back. I realized that I pick the right choice. I think that a cover made with mattress pad will be even better.
This mattress topper turned a very uncomfortable futon into a very comfortable bed. It came with a cover and the price was very reasonable.

Ride in style, and with maximum commuting convenience with the Downtown Commuter bag. The Downtown is the ultimate bag for cruising around town and for biking to work or school. It features a large pouch with Velcro closure that is sized to accommodate a laptop up to a 15.4" width. The Downtown also has other pockets and pouches which helps to organize your pens, notepads, and other necessary small items. A snap hook for your keys is even included so locking up your bike is quick and easy.
Sold as a single pannier, the mounting system has an innovative, rotating fixed rail so that you can easily set your bag to fit snugly on either side of your rack. This bag is also equipped with base feet and edge protectors to keep your bag looking new. Pack as much as you need, as the Downtown has three variable lid closures for overloading with an extra pair of clothes, or large books.

A padded, adjustable shoulder strap is also included to quickly transform the Commuter into a messenger bag. Maintain your professional look while still getting in your daily ride with the Downtown Commuter Pannier.
The QL3 attachment system features a new style of mounting component that mounts to the right or left side of your rack. This component is fully adjustable both for heal clearance and angle of your bag. The bag for the QL3 system now has a much more flush back so it's more comfortable to carry. The upper mounting clips have an auto lock so the bag stays securely mounted to the rack, simply pull the handle up to unlock the clips. The QL2 system is not compatible with the QL3 system and cannot be modified to accept the new components.
All ORTLIEB products are backed by a 5 year warranty against defects in material and manufacturing.

You may have heard of spider monkeys, howler monkeys, or even flying monkeys, but did you know there's such a thing as a squirrel monkey?
Gulf Breeze Zoo welcomed 28 small, brightly colored squirrel monkeys into the zoo family on July 20, and the sprightly creatures have already made quite an impression. Visitors flocked to the new exhibit on Saturday, and the group, or troop, of monkeys put on a show.
Noelle Dorvault, age 8 of Pensacola, was charmed by the zoo's newest addition.
"They are so cool!" she exclaimed. "There are so many of them and they are so small and they climb with their long tails," Noelle enthused.
Mom Christine Dorvault said she had brought her daughter to the zoo specifically to see the new squirrel monkeys.
"The zoo has really come a long way," Christine said. "It's always a lot of fun."
Squirrel monkeys hail from the tropical rainforests of South America, which makes them quite at ease in their new habitat. These creatures are long and lean, with an average length of about 12 inches, and tails that add an additional 16 inches to their overall length.

While working at TRU as a college student, I played nearly every guitar in the store. One of these came back after christmas without a box or accessories, and with a few cosmetic issues. I bought it at a discount just to have knock around guitar and 3 years later I am still playing it. I love this little thing. While it dosen't sound like a million bucks, it stays in tune, has good intonation, and I would recommend to any parent as a great buy. I also replaced the strings with nylon strings. They are easier to play for beginners, and I haven't broken one in the 3 years they were on there. I bought the cheaper model for my little sister and was disappointed. Don't skimp if you actually want your kids to learn how to play, because nothing is more frustrating than a cheap unplayable instrument.

Bought one for my 9 year old. Been playing guitar for years myself, and I should have known not to buy an instrument without playing it first. By overall appearance, it's a beautiful guitar. By construction however, it's not good. Dead frets at the top of the neck and near the twelfth fret, and unlike other guitars, there's no truss rod to make any adjustments to remove them. If you're looking for something quality for your child to learn with, this guitar is definitely NOT what you're looking for. Spend the extra money and buy a brand name guitar.

My son signed up for music camp & wanted to try a new instrument. We've had old guitars around the house but, they were exactly that old! Rushed to the cheapest store I knew that sold guitars & picked one up. It works great & gets the job done for less than half the price. His teacher even stated she would have never thought to check Toy R Us for musical instruments & suggested a padded case to protect it!

Great Guitar for Young Guitarists
By kidsguitar3
from Cleveland, OH
About Me Education Oriented
Three of my young students used this guitar after using the First Act 30" guitar. All 3 guitars have been very durable, playable and stay in tune. The sound quality is good and the action is low, which means the strings are close to the wood of the fretboard. Low action is good. These are 3/4 size so their great for small students, age 10 and up. I had one guitar with buzzing on the 12th fret but I was able to fix it myself by filing the bridge. Most intermediate players won't be playing around the 12th fret anyway. I recommend First Act to my students because they have been good products for the money.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I ordered this guitar for my daughter after she saw it in the catalog. Unfortunately, the guitar that arrived does not look like the one pictured in the catalog & it doesn't even look like the picture on the box (the same picture on this web page.). The guitar I received has a strange looking tiger or dragon painted on it. Not something my daughter would like. She thinks it is creepy looking and I kind of agree with her. Very disappointed.

Polished [*]
By Roger the guitarist
from St. Albans, WV
About Me Experienced Guitarist
This guitar might look good, but it is too flawed for my taste. Got it for Christmas two years ago and it is the worst investment I've ever made. Each string broke multiple times when they were almost in tune. The neck was also warped right out of the box. The frets were too long even for large hands and the strings are packed too closely. I just ended up smashing it because that was all it was good for as a guitar. It was durable though, I had to slam it against solid concrete a good ten times to break it.

Obama In Miami
8:16 am
Thu October 11, 2012
Swing State Life: Obama's On His Way To Make A Nightmare Of Miami Traffic
President Obama makes an appearance this afternoon at BankUnited Center on the University of Miami's Coral Gables campus. It's a grassroots rally with free admission for those who got advance tickets. Doors open at 1 p. m.
After that, Brickell Avenue will close at Southeast Seventh Street at 4 p. m. as the president makes his way to another event at the J. W. Marriott Marquis Hotel.
He's supposed to arrive at 5. But the Miami Herald warns downtown drivers need to make three and half hours worth of plans:
• At 4 p.m., all northbound traffic on Brickell Avenue will be closed at Southeast Seventh Street. Traffic will be diverted westbound onto Southeast Seventh Street.
• Because of construction, you're best bet for going west will be either Southeast Seventh Street or going south on Brickell Avenue, then west on Southeast 13th Street.
• From 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., all streets south of Southeast First Street to the Miami River and from Southeast Second Avenue to Biscayne Boulevard will be shut down to cars, bicyclists and pedestrians.
• From 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., no traffic will be allowed onto Southeast Second Avenue to get onto Interstate 95.
• From 5:30 p.m. to approximately 6:40 p.m., traffic will be allowed to go south on Southeast Second Avenue.
• From 6:45 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., the area of Southeast First Street to the Miami River and from Southeast Second Avenue to Biscayne Boulevard will be completely shut down, again.
• After 7:30 p.m., traffic will return to normal.

Green thumbs and aspiring green thumbs everywhere have been placing potted plants on balconies, patios, decks and more for centuries. But according to some observers the practice is gaining popularity these days.
U.S. consumers now spend more than $1.3 billion a year on container gardening, according to Container Gardening Associated. Why? Containers are easy, temporary, affordable and work well in so many different spaces. They can be used to direct traffic, and to bring a little nature, learning and relaxation to outdoor spaces.
It has also been suggested that gardening becomes more popular when the economy is down, since people tend to stay at home more and look for relatively low-cost activities (yes, I know about the $64 tomato).
Of course, plants suck up carbon dioxide like sponges, so the more plants, the merrier as far as easing global warming. They also help reduce the heat island effect. And, if you grow edibles you can enjoy a little fresh (make it organic!) produce right from your own homestead!
Interestingly, a new study published in the journal HortScience (by Dr. Terri Starman of Texas AgriLife Research) found that most people seem to prefer a container garden with a complementary color harmony, and in the price range of $25. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel.
Consumers also said they would like to have additional information on container gardening, especially how to get best results.

Sustainability isn't just about venture-backed tech firms and big manufacturers. In our second annual special report on the Eco-Advantage, we look at how green business practices are transforming the stuff of everyday life.
Nothing But Green Skies
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is one of the nation's top family-owned businesses, a $12 billion behemoth that dominates its industry. But CEO Andy Taylor feared it all could vanish in a puff of CO2. It was time to get greener. And quick.
Reinventing the Cheeseburger
Burgerville's Tom Mears took an icon of damn-the-whales consumer excess -- the drive-thru cheeseburger -- and turned it green. In the process, he reanimated his business.
What's In That Diaper?
In 2002, Jason and Kimberley Graham-Nye faced a decision: cloth (a hassle) or disposable (wasteful). "We looked at each other and said, 'That's it?" says Kimberley. "There hadn't been any real innovation in diapers since the 1960s, when disposables hit the market." They set out to change that.
Let's Put On a Green Show
In the wake of September 11, Image 4, a designer of trade show exhibits, saw its revenue plunge by two-thirds. That led CEO Jeff Baker to rethink everything -- and rebuild his business in a radical new way.
Green Housing for the Rest of Us
Real estate developers at Full Spectrum NY had been told that sustainably designed buildings are only for the rich. The company's response? The Kalahari, a green high-rise with all the latest features but a reasonable price tag.
Long Live Rock
A family business found the right chemistry to take the symbol of the man-made world and bring it back to nature. A few nuggets about recyclable concrete.
Power Ranger
Computers consume a lot of power even when nobody's using them. If users won't take time to power down their PCs, Surveyor software will.
Green Myths Revealed
The whole world seems to be going green, but not all conventional wisdom may be true. Here's a look at the facts behind some green myths.
Every few years or so, American companies and consumers embrace the concept of green business. But something seems different about our current green awakening. This time, the action is being driven as much by markets as morality. Here's a look at 50 of the most intriguing companies that are helping to drive today's green revolution. You might say they've found a way to do good and get rich.

Hi guys
Just a question and some help if possible.
When I was first using my Epic, I did some test shots, did a video at Runyon Canyon, and an audition video for someone. Whatever. I took the stuff, set to transcode in Redcine-X, just left it all at default. for the 3 minute audition video, took a couple of hours to transcode on my May 2010 Macbook pro 17" i7, with 1067 speed ram
I'm now back in Melbourne, and shot about 500gb of data for a music video. 88 clips. Is it just my perception or is transcoding taking longer?
A 3 minute clip (at 48fps) is taking about 6 hours, so at this rate, if each clip was about that long, I'd be looking at 22 days...
This is now on my 2006 Mac Pro with slower memory 667... but I've tried the same stuff back on my Macbook pro and it's about the same time (mac pro is a 4 core system)
Man i regret returning that Red rocket!
But is this normal? How long does it take for people without a red rocket on a more modern mac pro or macbook pro? Can you get much faster speeds? If I go out and buy the current mac pro, what would I be getting?
The only difference is that in Redcine-x i've done some basic color grading of exposure, saturation etc... is that going to make it take longer? seems unlikely as there's always meta data with each clip for the look anyway...
both of my computers are too slow it seems to run Premiere (have tried) to edit without transcoding... so that option seems to be out. Should I get a better machine? Or is there any tips for making it faster? Are these normal speeds?

Come-Apart Shears
These shears are handy in the kitchen. They can be used to cut-up chicken, effortlessly cut tops off pastic bags and to cut-up veggies. Their lightweight design make them easy to handle and clean-up is a cinch as well as sharpening, because of the come-apart technology. If you are looking for a good quality pair of shears at a reasonable price, look no further. I was so impressed with the pair I've used for over a year that I bought everyone on my Christmas gift list a pair this year including buying myself another pair to use in the garden. The are an excellent buy for the money!

The sharpness of the cutter and the come-apart feature are the two best recommendations I could ever offer to anyone.

Five Months After the TsunamiOperational situation. May 27, 2005Five months have passed since an enormous tsunami hit parts of South Asia, leaving behind a horrifying trail of destruction and suffering. Within days of the December 26, 2004 disaster, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams began working alongside national efforts to provide assistance to individuals in need of medical care, food, clean water, shelter, and other basic necessities. The majority of MSF's work focused on hard-hit communities in Indonesia and Sri Lanka, though staff provided assistance to people in Thailand and India too. Initial exploratory teams assessed needs in Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Somalia as well, but did not find any serious unmet medical needs. With the emergency phase now ended, MSF has reoriented its work in Indonesia and has closed its tsunami-related programs in other countries except India. More than 80 international staff and 400 national staff are currently working in the areas affected by the tsunami in Indonesia (76 international and 370 national staff) and India (4 international staff and 30 national staff). As an emergency medical organization, MSF believes it is not within its mission or line of expertise to engage in long-term development programs and large-scale rehabilitation and reconstruction which are still required in many places. Other organizations are undoubtedly better suited to undertake these tasks. IndonesiaFive months since the tsunami, MSF's work in Indonesia has entered a post-emergency phase with noticeably scaled-back operations. MSF teams are continuing to address remaining needs and provide quality medical care through local hospitals, health centers, and mobile clinics as local communities cope with the tsunami's aftermath. The teams are focusing their efforts on:

Level of instruction:
2 weeks
Organised by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI)
University of Oxford at the University of Jordan, Amman Jordan
11 September - 20 September 2010,
The capability approach formulated by Amartya Sen, and further developed by the philosopher Martha Nussbaum and others provides a conceptual framework that grounds many multidimensional approaches to poverty and social protection, including the MDGs, PRSPs, rights-based development, integrated social policy, and other specific initiatives.
In the past few years, interest in multidimensional quantitative techniques of analysis has surged. New quantitative methodologies have been developed for measurement, comparisons, and analysis. Many more are still under development. It is a fast-moving area.
The purpose of this intensive summer school is to provide a thorough conceptual and technical introduction to current literature and techniques of measuring and comparing capabilities, drawing on various techniques of multidimensional measurement and of statistical analysis.
The summer school will be jointly organized by Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative based at the University of Oxford. Five post-doctoral researchers from OPHI will also be present to teach the course. Please see www.ophi.org.uk
Who should apply:
Pre-requisites. The summer school teaches quantitative techniques, hence a demonstrable knowledge of stata is an absolute pre-requisite for attending the course, and exceptions will not be made. For those who are very familiar with SPSS, an online course on STATA must be completed prior to the summer school. Every attendant to the summer school will need to have STATA 9.2 or higher installed in his/her laptop. The software cannot be provided by the summer school. We have 2 spare laptops for 2 students who require them.
Audience: The summer school is primarily addressed to PhD students, post-docs and researchers (academic or professional) who are working on or actively interested in pursuing research on multidimensional poverty and capability measurement or analysis. Applicants who are already at the stage of pursuing a research project are particularly welcome. Other candidates having a demonstrated research interest in empirical analysis in these topics can be considered on the basis of their experience and space availability.
Participants are required to have a background in quantitative methods (econometrics, statistics) and should be familiar with the capability approach and social science research methods. As the participants will undertake problem sets in the course of the summer school, participants without these qualifications can not be accepted. The syllabus and background readings will be made available to participants prior to the summer school. Throughout the summer school, participants will be actively involved in discussions and problem-solving, and will be invited to present their research work as well as to share their experiences regarding different techniques of empirical analysis.
Format: The summer school will consist of 9 days of instruction and working group sessions plus one free day. Teaching sessions will cover: unidimensional poverty & inequality measures, multidimensional poverty and inequality measures, inequality of opportunity, poverty dynamics, human development indices, and econometric tools for the analysis of multidimensional poverty. The programme will further include problem sets and working group activities. Participants need to bring a laptop with them to do the problem sets.
Dates: 11 September - 20 September 2010. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the HDCA International Conference, 21-23 September 2010 ( www.hd-ca.org).
Venue: University of Jordan, Amman Jordan
Costs: The course fee is US$300 for students and academic researchers based in low income countries, as defined by the World Bank http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/DATASTATISTICS/0,,contentMDK:20420458~menuPK:64133156~pagePK:64133150~piPK:64133175~theSitePK:239419,00.html and US $750 for other participants. In addition, participants will need to pay for very simple accommodation and meals.
Financial At present unfortunately only very limited financial support is available,
Support although we are trying to obtain more funds. Therefore, participants who require financial support should indicate: a) if they require support for the fee; b) if they require support for the accommodation/board; c) if they require support for the ticket, and d) whether they are also attending the HDCA conference. They should specify the other sources of financial support they are seeking, and whether the financial support is essential or helpful. Competition for financial support will be strong; however well qualified and committed candidates are strongly encouraged to reply regardless of their financial situation.
PhD students should also provide an outline of their on-going research project (max. 500 words). The deadline for application is 14 May 2010. The Selection of candidates tends to be quite competitive. Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of the information provided in their application. The candidates selected will receive an e-mail notification of the decision by 1 June of 2010 to allow time to secure visa and cheap air tickets.
