Commissioners have limited options for Sparksville Road
Wednesday, 09 September 2009 00:00
The Commissioners heard from Jill Saegesser of River Hills Economic Development, the organization that administers grants for the county, regarding funding options to solve the ongoing problems with Sparksville Road.
Several years ago, a new road and a new bridge were designed by the Indiana Department of Transportation and located downstream from the original roadway and iron bridge that was declared as unsafe. The original roadway was at the level of the surrounding land and would be be underwater when the river swelled out of its banks.
However, the new roadway is built up above the surrounding fields creating, for all practical purposes, a dam. When the water rises high enough to breach the roadway, a hydraulic results on the downstream side. That action undermines the road foundations, washing away blacktop, gravel, and rip rap from the roadway and top soil from the fields.
Several people familiar with road construction practices and flood water issues have told the Commissioners over the years that the roadway project was "poorly designed." That opinion, be it right or wrong, does not give the county any leverage for getting the funds to correct the problem.
Saegesser went through several options for obtaining grant monies for such a project but, at least at this point in time, the Sparksville Road doesn't seem to meet requirements for those grants.
Admitting that the problem will continue until the roadway is either rebuilt on some sort of a bridge system above the high water mark or is taken back down to the level of the surrounding fields, the Commissioners agreed to continue repairing the water damage with gravel and topsoil. Recently, the Washington County Highway Department used $11K of gravel to repair the spring flood damage on the 1200-1500 feet of roadway affected.
In other business, the Commissioners took the following action:
Heard from a private citizen with plans to rehab 14 acres of the old Smith Cabinet property for use as an industrial warehousing facility.
- Received an update on recent lightning damage to the county's computer system and the recovery efforts.
- Approved an amendment to a contract for services recommended by Washington County Prosecutor Dustin Houchin.
- Heard comments for a private citizen regarding Comprehensive Land Use Planning.
- Discussed plans for a joint effort among the City of Salem, Washington County, and National City Bank to purchase three lots at the corner of Walnut and Water Streets in Salem to be eventually used as a parking lot to help provide additional space for court house workers and works of business located on or around the square.
- Heard from Julie Graham and Mike Haddon of the Washington County Health department with updates on efforts to deal with the recent discovery of mosquitoes with West Nile Virus at the fairgrounds.
- In addition, Graham and Haddon requested that the Commissioners consider enacting an ordinance to mandate state guidelines for sanitation procedures and inspections at tatoo parlors and establishments performing body piercings.
- County Attorney Tom Scifres has agreed to look at the guidelines and report back to the Commissioners at their next meeting with a recommendation.
- Haddon also recommended to the Commissioners that the fees for food service inspection and licenses be increased to be in line with surrounding counties.
With no further business to discuss, the Commissioners adjourned until their joint executive session with the Board of Critical Access Health Services and the Washington County Council on September 3. The next regularly scheduled public meeting for the Commissioners will be on Wednesday, September 16.

Second Annual Shop with a Cop Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show to take place October 3
Wednesday, 02 September 2009 00:00
Last year was the first year for this show, devised and coordinated by Christine Motsinger of The Waters of Salem. Last year's show had 94 registered participants and over 150 spectators were in attendance. Through registrations, donations, raffle ticket sales and everyone who supported the event, $1,999 was raised for the Shop with a Cop Program, which helps children in need receive presents for Christmas. This year's event will feature new processes to improve the show and help the event run smoother. All participants after registering will receive a "Ready to Judge" paper to be placed in their windshield to inform the judges of their car being ready to judge. This process will allow a quicker and more effective judging experience. In addition, judges scores will be received periodically throughout the day, and then entered into a computer spreadsheet to automatically tally the scores, allowing trophies to be awarded according to schedule. Trophies this year will include the Best Top 20, 5 specified trophies for motorcycles, Police Pick, Crowd Pleaser, Mayor's Choice, Sponsor's Favorite, Firehouse Favorite, and new this year will be the special Kid's Choice trophy, where kids will receive "Official Judge" stickers and be able to vote for their favorite. In total, over 30 trophies will be handed out.

Recovery model and transaction logs
Or "Remind me again why we're doing these backups in the first place"
If there's one topic that comes up again and again on the forums, it has to be the problem of full transaction logs, usually followed by the discovery that the DB is in full recovery mode and no log backups are running.
Quite often, someone will suggest to just truncate the log and shrink it. It's a dangerous suggestion, not so much for what is said, but for what is not said. To understand why, requires a little background information. First, a look at recovery models and how they affect the transaction log.
Recovery modes
I'm going to ignore bulk-logged mode for now, mainly it's less used than the other two and I'm not completely comfortable with how it works. I'm also going to ignore replication and database mirroring, as they complicate the issue.
Regardless of the recovery model that the database is in, transactions are logged into the transaction log before they are considered complete. The entries in the transaction log are considered active until all the data pages that were modified by the transaction have been written to disk. The two processes that write pages to disk are the lazy writer and the checkpoint process. Once all the pages that the transaction have been written to disk, the log records for that transaction are marked as inactive.
Simple recovery mode
In simple recovery mode, once a checkpoint completes, inactive log records are discarded. Hence no record is kept of transactions that occurred before the last checkpoint
Full recovery mode
In full recovery mode, log records are retained within the transaction log until a log backup occurs. When a log backup occurs, SQL checks when the last log backup occurred, and writes out log entries since that time into the log backup. Then it updates the last log backup entry and discards the transaction log entries that were included in the backup. Hence, provided the log backup files are kept, there is a complete records of all transactions that occurred.
That's a massive simplification, but it should be enough for now. Second bit of background information is on the types of backups, what they do to the transaction log and the implications they have for recovery
Backup Types
Full Backup
The full database backup copies the entire contents of the database to the backup file. The full backup also includes enough of the transaction log to allow for the backup to be restored into a transactionally consistent state. It does not truncate the transaction log.
Transaction Log Backup
The transaction log backup does not contain contents of the database, but rather just the transaction log. When the log backup runs, it backups all entries in the transaction log that were not backed up by the previous log backup. Once completed, the inactive log records are discarded, freeing up space in the log.
Transaction log backups form a chain, starting with the a full or differential backup and continuing until the most recent log backup. Because full backups do not truncate the transaction log, they do not break the log chain. An unbroken log chain is essential to restoring to a point in time.
So with all that out of the way, I can finally come to my point.
If a database is in full recovery mode and transaction log backups are being done, the reason for all those backups is to allow the database to be recovered to a point in time in the case of a failure. Truncating the transaction log and discarding log records is contrary to that goal.
If a database is in full recovery mode just because that's the default, no log backups are being done and point in time recovery is not required, then truncating the transaction log is just an interim fix and the log will get full again sometime in the future. In that situation, rather set the database into simple recovery mode where the log will truncate itself.
If a database is in full recovery mode because that's the default, no log backups are being done and point in time recovery is required, then set up the appropriate log backups so that point in time recovery is possible.
Truncating the transaction log should be a last resort, not the first thing suggested.

The Saturn V rocket is the aircraft that won the space race for the U.S. when the America and Russia were competing to see who could be the first to land a man on the moon. The rocket which sat at the entrance of Johnson Space Center is one of only three complete Saturn V rockets in existence. They belong to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Allan Needell is the curator.
"Among the three surviving rockets, only one and that's this one here, consists completely of stages and componants that were actually intended to fly. Accordingly, in our view it represents or symbolizes the enormous Apollo achievement perhaps better than any other object in the national collection. Well time gradually took its toll. For more than 20 years, the JSC Saturn V was exposed to the sun and the rain and the high-ozone environment of the Houston area and, to understate the matter significantly, it didn't fare very well."
So the Smithsonian and NASA began looking into ways to restore the rocket and house it in a climate controlled facility. That was no small task. The Saturn V is about as long as the distance from home plate to the center field fence at Minute Maid Park. In 1999, the Smithsonian applied for a grant to preserve the rocket, and with matching funds from a number of sources, eight years later the restoration is complete. A number of former astronauts attended the dedication at JSC, including Walt Cunningham, who flew on Apollo 7, the first manned mission of the Apollo program.
"Saturn rockets placed 45 astronauts safely into orbit. Well in ten short years the space race was over, America had won and the race was called off . And we can now celebrate Apollo for what it was, a political battle in the Cold War. The Saturn V made that victory possible."
The Saturn V is still the most powerful rocket ever built. NASA is using it as a model for the Constellation program, which includes plan for manned missions back to the moon and further manned space exploration. Former Astronaut Dr. Joseph Kerwin closed the dedication ceremony with words of nostalgia and gratitude.
"So to this beautiful, rugged, reliable, over-achieving Saturn V machine I say thank you. You're a challenge to do better than in the future."
The restored Saturn V will remain on exhibit at JSC. NASA representatives will be on hand tomorrow to answer questions about the restoration of the rocket as well as NASA's Constellation program to return humans to the moon. Laurie Johnson, Houston Public Radio News.

A job as a mystery shopper (aka secret shopper) has become a popular source of income for the work-at-home mom who enjoys shopping. Enjoy the flexibility of working when you want – with the added benefit of shopping while you do so.
Acting as a 'regular shopper' at various retail establishments, restaurants, and service oriented companies, a mystery shopper should have the ability to be discreet and pay attention to details. Act as a regular shopper and utilize your smart phone to keep track of items and to make notes. The idea is to pose as a regular patron of the establishment and gather the required information. You should use your best judgement before accepting a "shop", as the amount of pay may not equal the amount of work involved. This make take a bit of trial and error to figure out, but you'll get the hang of it after a few jobs.
Some companies may require you to make a purchase. Before doing so, ensure you will be reimbursed. You don't want to get stuck with the bill, after all. Many seasoned mystery shoppers believe that certification shows you're serious about this line of work/ Although not necessary, being certified may provide higher paying jobs. To get certified, go here. I believe the cost is $15.00. I am not certified, nor do I think I ever will be, and I have had enough jobs to pay a few bills. The choice is all up to you.
Work is not provided on a regular basis, and payment may be in the form of an hourly wage or reimbursement of an item or meal with a small dollar amount included. You have the right to decline any mystery shopping assignment.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- School security often gets a bad rap, but recently an example of security officers doing their jobs and preventing a shooting made the news.
Monday's incident at Hall High involved a real gun, and came in the midst of the Little Rock School District' process to beef up its security.
"She was anxious about it and almost had a panic attack," said Lesley and Gene Hicks, parents of a Hall High School student.
During a random scan, one of Bobby Jones' security officers discovered a gun hidden in a student's pocket.
"He said he has problems in his neighborhood. It didn't have anything to do with the school," said Jones.
Jones said once a week, the district conducts three random room and two locker searches. Every three months, the entire school is checked. Plus, there are cameras everywhere.
"We have some schools with a hundred cameras," said Jones. "The Little Rock Police can come online and view any school that has a camera system."
Jones said Monday's weapon was the first gun found on district campus this school year. As much as the district tries to increase security, the Hicks knows it still doesn't resolve the social issue.
"Did this student bring a weapon because he felt threatened?" said the Hicks.
Jones said he's in the process of installing power locks at school entrances and adding more security officers.
There was also an incident on Friday where two Central High students used a fake gun to try to steal money and a cell phone.

Men's Fashion Advice – Looking Forward to Spring
If there is one thing that Winter does, is making you look forward to Spring. Come the end of February, everyone is entertaining thoughts of warmer weather and lighter clothing. As I was looking at the collection for Spring/Summer 2013, I discovered some looks that might be a "go" or a "no".
The first is by Dolce and Gabbana. The v-neck, collared shirt looks like some sort of tapestry with the muted colors and people scene. I'll give it one thing that it does look comfortable. However, the shorts are just all wrong. They have a length that went out in the 70's and should have stayed out. It kind of looks like they cut off a pair of grey dress pants to make them. I don't see these particular shorts being very popular.
The second Spring/Summer look on the runway is by Hermes. Both the outfits show that color and patterns are still huge trends for the upcoming year. The grey trousers pair up nicely with the buttery yellow shirt and geometric pattern cardigan in pear green. These shorts by Hermes are a much nicer length and fit. The total looks are also pulled together with great lace-up sneakers.
The last fashion line-up for Spring/Summer 2013 is by Giorgio Armani. The white trousers and neutral leather shoes combine nicely with the slim-fitting taupe knit jacket. It is definitely a sleek and sexy look that is able to take the place of a traditional sports jacket. The vest combo and white trousers that follows is also a nice alternative to the traditional summer suit.
Men's Fashion Trend: A Year of Diversity in Men's Swimwear
As I was browsing the men's designer swimwear for 2012, I noticed that this year in particular it seems to come in all shapes, patterns, and colors. The board short is closer to the knees in length, with an elastic waist and a cross-over tie waistband. The vintage style men's swimwear is closer to the boxer length, sporting an elastic drawstring waist with side seam pockets. The boy short style of swimwear has the waistband in the same range as the other styles do, but the leg length is cropped closer to the upper thighs and with a more fitted look, I think that this style is a little more wearable that the bikini style of men's swimwear. The bikini style of swim suit is cut much skimpier than all the rest and doesn't leave much to the imagination. If you are not comfortable with the "Here I am!" look, then this last style is definitely not for you.
Lesson #99: Cardigans are fun!
Feasible: Neutral colored, lightweight cardigans
Now this is something people will appreciate: nothing loud, nothing gaudy, nothing to spur images of stuffy Bostonian prep boys. Just a comfy, smooth piece. True, this piece is a little too expensive ($365 as of 1/3/10), but the price will go down as the quality remains excellent.
55. More about sunglasses
INFEASIBLE: Huge shades with big branding
(From Sunglass Hut)
So the sun's shining brightly again for most of you (it's always sunny over in these parts), and I imagine that you want to don some slick shades to protect your eyes/look like a somebody. Sure! But that doesn't mean anyone should pay out the ass and end up walking around with the eyewear from a fighter pilot's helmet. Just look at this colossal pair from D&G; they're too big even for a giant's face. Not only that, the branding on them could only be more obnoxious if Stefi and Domi lasered their friggin' initials into the glass itself.
Feasible: Black pairs with a tight frame

Feasible: Black pairs with a tight frame
I surprised myself by liking a pair of Oakleys for once. Although a little sporty looking, the cut of the frame and subtle yet appropriate inclusion of the logo seals the f'in' deal.
32. Sweaters
INFEASIBLE: Effeminate sweaters
(From Neiman Marcus)
If you have a pretty enough girl, anything will look good on her – lingerie, flapper dresses, tube skirts, AND men's clothing. Unfortunately, this is not the case for men: men can wear men's clothing/manly clothing and nothing else. Sure, there is some androgynous stuff out there that guys like Bev can wear – but for you less-than-bootiful people, you're stuck with stuff Joe Bloe models wear. And that means stuff like the above is not an option; I mean, what the hell is D&G thinking? I keep expecting to see a pair of tig-ole bitties underneath this sweater and every f'ing time I'm left disappointed.
Feasible: Simple v-neck sweater

Simple, cheap, manly. Go man go.

'Be prepared' is most famous as the motto of the Scouts, but it's a maxim that is equally as embraced by ballet dancers.
A dancer's ballet bag is an essential bit of kit that they take with them wherever they go – in rehearsals, during breaks and in their dressing rooms; it's always to hand. But what do they contain? We asked two Royal Ballet dancers – Marianela Nuñez and Yasmine Naghdi – what their ballet bag essentials are:
The Royal Opera House Shop stocks a range of dance wear and beauty products.
Watch films on our YouTube channel about how pointe shoes are made, and how dancers prepare them for the stage.
Cheryl Knight has the hands behind the boots in our Season Appeal photos: she is the Footwear Supervisor at the Royal Opera House. Cheryl and her colleagues are responsible for sourcing and maintaining shoes for all the singers in any opera production. Each shoe needs to fit their owner perfectly, so that the singer can be safe and comfortable and sing as well as possible. Uncomfortable shoes are a terrible distraction! When singers join the Royal Opera Chorus, they are kitted out with the five or six pairs of shoes they'll need for their career on stage. Men wear black shoes, boots, character shoes, knee boots or jazz shoes, and women have Victorian-style ankle boots, character shoes, court shoes, jazz shoes, a generic 'peasant' shoe and sandals. It's an awful lot of shoes!
Over the summer, these shoes are maintained and repaired, ready for the new Season ahead. They need polishing, soles might need re-sticking and broken or frayed shoelaces will need replacing. Over the summer, the team in the Shoe Room get through five pots of polish and a tin of shoe glue.
We spoke to Cheryl ahead of her preparations for 2014/15: The Royal Opera.
Cheryl, what are you most looking forward to in The Royal Opera's 2014/15 Season?
It's extraordinary to see what's ahead. Just the most amazing singers will be here: Plácido Domingo, Eva-Maria Westbroek, Jonas Kaufmann (always a favourite, for obvious reasons!), Anna Netrebko… the list goes on and on. They will all be visiting the Shoe Room for fittings and repairs.
I'm intrigued to see the new production of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny from Kurt Weill. I'm a real fan of Anne Sofie van Otter so am very excited to see her returning to Covent Garden for this. But my absolute favourite for next Season is Il turco in Italia – I just love it! Such a brilliant production, funny and sunny, and again, an extraordinary cast. The shoes – like the rest of the costumes – are colourful and flamboyant.
The first time we did this production, Fiorilla was sung by Cecilia Bartoli and I was rather star struck. One day the designer took me up to the Wig Room and asked them to take photos of my hairstyle. The next thing I knew, a wig had been made up for her that was a perfect replica of my hair! And bizarrely, several months later, one of the wig makers asked if I'd visited a particular tiny village in Cornwall recently, which I had. She'd seen me there, but only from behind, and recognized me from my hair because she'd made the wig and had been studying my hair for so long!
What's been a memorable production for you?
I was delighted when The Tsarina's Slippers was put on in 2009. Often our work goes unseen, but here was an opera all about the shoes! A thousand crystals covered the Tsarina's slippers, which had to be topped up after every performance as they had a habit of pinging off mid-performance. And at the end of the opera, the hero and heroine headed off into the sunset riding a sleigh in the shape of a giant shoe – glorious!
And how did you end up working in Opera Shoes?
I started at the beginning of the 2003/4 Season, so next Season will be my twelfth. I actually started with a dressing role for The Nutcracker and then in the shoe department as holiday cover, where I've been ever since! My grandfather was a master cobbler and I have always loved shoe design, so working here feels completely right to me. It's amazing to play a part in our operas, even if I don't appear on stage!
Everyone has a part to play. Play yours today.
We are inviting gifts to our Season Appeal to contribute to the essential and behind-the-scenes preparatory tasks at the Royal Opera House this summer. Over the coming weeks we'll be exploring the faces behind the five featured tasks, so keep checking our website for further updates.
Listen to Cheryl interviewed on BBC Radio 4's Midweek last year.]]>
Opera Footwear supervisor Cheryl Knight spoke to BBC Radio 4's Midweek to give listeners an idea what it's like to work in one of the Royal Opera House's less well-known departments.
'Opera shoes? What a niche job! But they are important,' said Cheryl, stressing the importance of comfort to opera singers who have to act as well as sing. 'The Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad was asked what it took to make a great Isolde and she said "A comfortable pair of shoes". The shoes are often the first things asked for in a rehearsal because the singers are asked to do these incredible things, the last thing they want to do is wobble on stage. Shoes help define their character and personality.'
Cheryl took a pair of Bryn Terfel's shoes from Faust to the BBC studios, worn by Bryn Terfel in the scene in which Méphistophélès is dressed as a woman in David McVicar's production and complete with a small heel: 'The gentlemen do take a while to get used to a heel so we thought we'd play safe'. She also brought a pair of extremely ornate platform shoes from Aida worn by the singer playing Amneris, 'the most extraordinary shoes we've ever worked with...fairly late on the role was recast - the original singer had to withdraw. The lady who took over is someone who's really no-frills, is quite happy in a pair of jazz shoes, but she was really game. We've all had a go - They're easier to wear than they look!'
The Opera Footwear department has recently been working on the upcoming new production of Parsifal with its huge chorus of 94 and a total cast of 132 ('with multiple pairs of shoes!' Cheryl noted).
Other guests on the programme included soldier-turned-writer Andy McNab, who revealed that he is a big opera fan.
Cheryl was the first 'face' of our current philanthropy campaign to raise awareness of the Royal Opera House Foundation, which inspires individuals to support our work through donations. We rely on voluntary contributions to present extraordinary performances, incredible craftsmanship and inspiring learning and participation projects. Find out how you can support the work of the foundation.]]>
Mara Galeazzi and Edward Watson, The Royal Ballet Principals fronting this year's Pointe Shoe Appeal, recently took time out of rehearsals to explain the importance of footwear in ballet.
'Our shoes are so important to us,' says Edward, ' You have to feel like you're in the right shoes - sometimes if I'm wearing the wrong shoes it's like I've got someone else's legs on - it's a really odd feeling!'
All the shoes worn by The Royal Ballet are handmade and many of the dancers have their shoes custom-made by one shoemaker throughout their career, such are the precise demands of the art form. Jane Latimer from the Pointe Shoes Room explains: 'Mara, until recently, has been completely reliant on Bob Martin who made her shoes from the moment she came into the Company. It was a terrible day when Bob retired because the dancers get very used to their particular maker'
That said, he did make a huge surplus for Mara and she will be dancing out her Royal Ballet career in his Innovation shoes. You can win one of the two pairs she wears in her final performance by making a donation, of any size, to the appeal.

'There are so many pairs of boots' exclaims Jane Latimer, Ballet Footwear Supervisor, when asked about how the staff in the Pointe Shoes Room are coping with Mayerling.
'Most of the boys need a different pair of boots for each act as they are set in completely different locations. Crown Prince Rudolf wears four different pairs: plain cream, caramel with a gold trim, black with a gold trim and brown. Then there are other characters: Bratfisch, Colonel 'Bay' Middleton, Count Larisch, Prince Philipp of Coburg, Emperor Franz Josef, Count Hoyos, Loschek, Count Eduard Taafe and of course, the four Hungarian officers - they have three pairs of boots each!'
A pair of ballet boots needs to be as well-crafted as a pair of pointe shoes so that they fit the foot but also the ankle and the calf. They also need to be snug against the front of the shin. Every dancer who wears them has a special fitting before master leather-worker and cobbler, Lewis Jones crafts the boots. Lewis takes the measurement before making a single pair, knowing that he will probably still have to make a couple of further alterations to ensure they really are the perfect fit.
Since MacMillan's Mayerling was first staged in 1978, most of the boots worn have had to be replaced at some point, despite the best efforts of the Company to reuse them. Edward Watson, who is fronting our Pointe Shoes Appeal alongside Mara Galeazzi, and is renowned for his performances as Count Prince Rudolf, always tries to make his boots last. The pair he wears in the climactic final scene have recently had to be turned inside out and leather patches sewn into the soles where he has worn them through.
The care taken by the Pointe Shoes Room means that we keep replacements to a minimum, but inevitably the boots have a limited lifespan. With a pair of custom made ballet boots costing £320, perhaps you might consider supporting their work and the needs of our dancers with a donation to the appeal? Every donation counts and supports the work not only of our dancers but all the people who support them behind the scenes.

It's one of ballet's most famous solos: prior to the wedding scene in La Bayadère Act III, a gold statue in the temple comes vividly to life and takes the spotlight.
First Soloist Alexander Campbell is one of the dancers performing this role in the current run of Natalia Makarova's production and he tells us a bit more about the preparation that goes in to becoming 'bronzed' from head to toe:
'The ladies in the shoe department, Jane and Màire, paint my Repetto shoes bronze (more gold really) with a special fabric paint. After painting, the shoes tend to have shrunk a little bit and the canvas becomes very stiff so I usually wear new painted shoes once or twice in rehearsal, or class, to wear them in for a performance.'
Of course shoes aren't the only element of getting Alexander stage ready: 'It takes about ten or fifteen minutes to be painted for the Bronze Idol. I've had two people paint me up and we are getting the job done quickly! It's nice to be able to get painted at the last minute as once you're painted you can't touch anything until you're off stage.'
Finally, there's the process of taking the paint off, which takes considerably longer than getting out of most costumes: 'I usually leave the theatre about forty minutes after the curtain has gone down on the performance but I wouldn't say I'm completely 'de-bronzed' by then, as I seem to glitter for a couple of days after!'
Are you inspired by the effort that goes into getting Alex ready? Perhaps you might consider helping all our dancers give their very best performances through a gift to the Pointe Shoes Appeal. Your donation will support the commitment made by every dancer in the Company, and those who work with us behind-the scenes to make each performance happen.
How could you help?

Royal Ballet dancers can get through up to six pairs of pointe shoes a week. That's a lot of shoes, most of them made by Freed of London, a major supplier of custom-made pointe shoes to the world's top ballet dancers.
We recently took Royal Ballet First Artists Leanne Cope and Nathalie Harrison to Freed's factory in East London for a behind-the-scenes insight into how this most vital tool of a dancer's profession are made. They also had a chance to meet those who hand-make up to 40 pairs of shoes a day to dancers' individual specifications.
With shoes costing the company £250,000 each season - at £216 a week for a busy dancer - the Royal Opera House runs an annual Pointe Shoe Appeal to raise funds. The face of this year's appeal is Principal Lauren Cuthbertson, who recently re-opened the Freed shop in St Martin's Lane, London.]]>

This was the film that started it all, and the first to be called "Disney's Folly" during its lengthy production. At the time, the notion of an American studio labouring over an 83-minute, full-colour, cel-animated film seemed insanely ambitious, and as the production schedule and cost spiralled (to six times its original estimate and sixty times the cost of a Disney short), Tinseltown prepared itself to laugh Walt into exile. Instead, he was very much the one laughing - all the way to the bank. The film remains in the Top Ten highest-grossers of all time, adjusting for inflation, ahead of Avatar and five out of six Star Wars movies.
But is it any good? Well, yes. Sure, Snow herself will never go down as one of the great feminist heroines, but there's immense charm in both her cluelessness, the cutesy Disney forest animals who were to become so emblematic of the studio, and the dwarfs' growing devotion to their new charge. What's more, the Wicked Queen remains one of the more terrifying villains in Hollywood history, and is certainly one to make small children quake in their seats. It may look dated, but the stretch-and-squash animation and catchy tunes will still make you feel like a six year-old.

DAR ES SALAAM – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today welcomed a contribution of dates valued at US$126,000 from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support refugees living in north-west Tanzania.
17 October 2014
DAR ES SALAAM - Amid several hunger emergencies – both natural and man-made – the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is marking World Food Day, 16 October, by highlighting both the challenges around the world and the real progress being made toward "zero hunger."
10 July 2014
DAR ES SALAAM – The Japanese government has contributed US$1.4 million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to provide food assistance to some 70,000 refugees in north-western Tanzania.
12 March 2014
ROME/DAR ES SALAAM – Every year, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) provides more than eleven million schoolgirls with food to help keep them in education and around three million vulnerable women with special nutritional support. This year, on International Women's Day (March 8), WFP is celebrating how empowering women can boost global efforts to end hunger.
"Giving women the power to make choices over their lives is one of the first steps towards a world with zero hunger," said WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin. "In every country where WFP works, women are front and centre in programmes to tackle the problems of food insecurity and undernutrition. We work with women farmers, traders, nutrition workers, school cooks and we serve millions of schoolgirls, pregnant women and nursing mothers."
This year's United Nations theme for International Women's Day stresses that "Equality for women is progress for all." One example of a WFP programme that focusses on women's advancement is Purchase for Progress, or P4P, an initiative that helps smallholder farmers, particularly women, become competitive players in the marketplace by producing food for sale and use in WFP programmes.
In Tanzania, P4P works with 28 farmer organisations who reach out to some 20,000 farmers, 43 percent of whom are women.
"Before P4P, I was living in a mud house, but now I have an improved house," says Magreth Mgeni (46). "I'm now taking my children to school without any problem. Today my neighbours are learning from me, understanding how the market works and doing as I do." When she joined P4P in 2009, Magreth was cultivating just two acres of land. She now cultivates nine acres and, in 2013, she sold 4,000 kg of maize through her local cooperative.
"Women play a transformative role in their families," says WFP Country Director Richard Ragan. "Empowering women is a key element across our programmes in Tanzania. Women are trained to enhance their skills in agriculture, and in the maternal and child health programmes women are provided with supplementary food and nutrition education to help prevent future stunting. Also, WFP's school feeding programme helps girls stay in school, building the bodies and minds of the next generation."
A report by WFP's sister agency the Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that closing the gender gap in agriculture by giving women farmers more resources could bring the number of hungry people in the world down by more than an estimated 100 million people. The State of Food and Agriculture 2010-2011 report found that women lacked access to land, credit, tools and seeds that could boost agricultural production.

WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. On average, WFP reaches more than 90 million people with food assistance in 80 countries each year.

Tanzania trip ends with calls for more joint efforts on financial inclusion and food security.
9 December 2013
ADDIS ABABA – Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands and the three food agencies of the United Nations are teaming up to raise awareness of how access to financial services – such as bank accounts, short-term credit, small loans, savings and insurance – can help improve the lives and livelihoods of smallholder farmers and the rural poor.
17 October 2013
The UN World Food Programme is marking World Food Day on 16 October by highlighting the power of nutrition to transform individuals, societies and economies, and the need to make it central to all development efforts.
29 May 2013
DAR ES SALAAM – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today received a donation of dates valued at USD $340,000 from the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support refugee operations in the northwest of Tanzania.
5 March 2013
DAR ES SALAAM – Early this morning, an all-female climbing team supported by the UN World Food Programme (WFP) in Tanzania reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain.
25 February 2013
DAR ES SALAAM – They have conquered the world's highest mountain. They have climbed the highest peaks in Europe and Australia. Now, seven Nepali women – members of the most successful all-female team ever to scale Mount Everest - will join three African women to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

Masculine Office Inspiration

ooohhhh I love masculine offices! cant wait to see what you come up with.ReplyDelete
Love masculine spaces all around. Such a classic look. Did you notice--all but one of those pics have flowers in them...see, you CAN have flowers in a "man room!"ReplyDelete
Rene, I love all these and this is the look I am going for when I have my future office. I'm leaning more masculine these days, there is something sophisticated about it! Anyhoo, the third picture is my fave. Your very dear and near client is v. lucky to have you help him!!!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see!! We just hung a map in my husbands office...love the way it looks in there! It is great catching back up...I have taken a bit of a break recently, but glad to be back and reading your blog! Take care, CarolineReplyDelete
Can't wait to see!! We just hung a map in my husbands office...love the way it looks in there! It is great catching back up...I have taken a bit of a break recently, but glad to be back and reading your blog! Take care, CarolineReplyDelete
It seems that masculine usually means dark walls (and ususally with lots of crap around). As a result, I'm loving that first image.ReplyDelete
There is something that I'm really drawn to with masculine spaces. I'd love to design a "guy" space one of these days because I don't think it's something that a guy really thinks of as important but once they have it they'll love it, don't you think? The first and last rooms are my favorite. Now that I think about it, maybe it's the classic look that these rooms have - nothing too trendy but still really current and classic and rugged. Can't wait to hear more about the project.ReplyDelete
I do love the dark walls with warm wood tones. I am attempting that in my dining room. Your "special" client will love it, I am sure. Gorgeous pics.ReplyDelete
That TH photo with the two wingbacks and round table is one of my all time favorites. Can't wait to see what you come up with.ReplyDelete
Love that gallery wall on black via House and Home with the wood desk...beautiful!ReplyDelete
Those are all wonderful. I'm especially drawn to the Traditional Home and Lonny images. What a fun project, Rene. I look forward to seeing what you do.ReplyDelete
Yes to any masculine space. Your near and dear is lucky to have you plan his!ReplyDelete

Marche Verte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the aerobatic team. For the march towards the Western Sahara, see Green March.
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Marche Verte (English: Green March) is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Royal Moroccan Air Force and the official aerobatic team of Morocco. Named for the 1975 "Green March", the team was formed in 1988 when French pilot Jean-Pierre Otelli was tasked with establishing an aerobatic team. Initially, the team consisted of only two planes. In the course of time this was increased to seven.
For aerobatic display purposes the team uses the French built trainer Avions Mudry & Cie CAP 232. The support plane is a twin-turbo-prop CASA CN-235.

Starting The Year Off with a Rainbow
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Centennial Lake
It was a very cold day on Sunday afternoon Feb 24th. The fish were not biting except this rainbow trout that aggressively struck my Blue Fox spinner size 4. I was surprised it went after that sized lure and thought it may have been a bass at first, judging from the strike. My first fish of the year!

"You speak of communism not socialism"
It was noted in the post above that I speak of communism when I note the effects of socialism. This is false. I speak of socialism generally. Of the deaths of this insidious form of corruption people love to forget, but they are the legacy of greed that is socialism. The corruption and theft of freedom.
India was never communist, but they managed to starve tens of millions of people to death.
Henry Hazlitt wrote of the issues in "Socialism and Famine" in Newsweek, August 31, 1964. We seem to have forgotten all this over time. India blamed "speculators" and "hoarders" and announced the imposition of strict controls on the purchase, sale, storage, and transportation of grains. This only made it worse.
Instead of allowing markets to bring grain in from overseas markets, the socialist regime in India restricted markets and called for people to do more.
The thing is, you cannot tell people just work more and expect it, we need incentives and rewards.
The socialist government in India placed price ceilings rice; instigated price controls measures on matches, oil, kerosene, sugar, and vegetable oils. The end result was that businesses making these products no longer saw a profit and the market shrunk.
Instead of an abundance of food and goods, there was a dearth with black markets springing up for those with money.
Forced industrialisation, monetary control and inflation with a government that printed money to pay for its insane social polices created a famine in India of immense proportions. The starvation, the riots and the polices in general where socialist and directly caused the death of 10's of millions of people.
Since 1954 US shipped millions of tonnes of food aid to India. This was given to the socialist Indian government as they did not trust private businesses or agencies to distribute it. This was finally distributed not to those in need, but on political ground. It took so long to make these decisions that rats had consumed more than half of this food at the docks and storage facilities.
In the 1980's we again have an excellent example of socialism at work in Ethiopia. This completely man-made famine in "the breadbasket of Africa" was a consequence of socialism, confiscations and nationalisations. People seem to forget time and again that the abolishment of incentive, the punishment of productivity and subsidising of irresponsibility results in people not taking risks, not producing.
The implementation of socialist policy caused the starvation in Northern Africa, not a lack of food.
As Ludwig von Mises stated in "Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis" (1951 Yale University Press);
"Socialism is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilisation have created. It does not build; it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership of the means of production has created . . ."
So Thomas, I mean socialism kills. In all its forms, from the basic left to communism and those forms that lie between, socialism has killed 100's of millions of people needlessly.

Super Lemon Haze (2009 Cannabis Cup Winner)
When I arrived in Amsterdam I was a little surprised to hear that The Greenhouse was entering Super Lemon Haze in this years Cannabis Cup.
Even though it won The Cup last year I was expecting/hoping Arjan was going to have something new.
Either way, take a look at the 2009 Cannabis Cup winning strain, Super Lemon Haze.
Name: Super Lemon Haze
From: The Greenhouse (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)
Grade: A-
Type: Sativa
Price: Appx. $15/Gram
Looks: Very tight nugs. Some as big as a golf ball and absolutely covered in thick yellow trichomes.
Smell: Very strong Haze/pine smell with overpowering lemon undertones. Very sweet. One of the best smelling buds in Amsterdam.
Taste: Like lemon heads candy when vaporized. Very sweet when smoked in a bong. Little hashy on the exhale.
Buzz Type: Prototypical sativa high. Very heady with a slight boost of energy.
Buzz Length: Medium. Good session with Super Lemon Haze usually kept me high for a little over and hour.
Overall: Definitely one of the better Haze/sativas in Amsterdam. When vaped it tastes a lot like candy.
Buzz Report: I smoked a lot of Super Lemon Haze while in Amsterdam and after a while I found myself not really getting as high as I liked.
The solution to the issue was to start rolling big snakes of hash and adding them to my SLH joints. Worked out great. –Chubbs

The Greenhouse – Arjan has done a great job of creating a place that people absolutely love hanging out at.
2008 Cannabis Cup – My first cup and what an adventure it turned out to be for me and Mrs. Chubbs.
Barney's – With 3 locations pretty much right next to each other on the same street you can bet Derry is doing it right.

ahhh CHUBBS!!!! just what i love to see… not that you do it for me, but thank you. !!!! Mmmm bud pics
Yes, chubbs i am curious too about that. Was it just your tolerance that made the grade lower or was the quality of the bud not the same? interesting to see the same strain win twice in a row. California is becoming the marijuana capitol for sure.
Did it get a lower score than last years SLH entry because of your tolerance?
just a bit surprised it won again. dont get me wrong, I wasnt there…I just am a bit shocked that there wasnt a new strain to take over so to speak.
The nugs next to the cake look ridiculous….! Would you personally approve this strain to be #1 or would you even put it in your top 10 chubbs? Seems like your tolerance may have given this a lower score, or was it just not as good as last years? Nice review though.
Just proves how commercialized the cup has become. I've had this strain 3 times on different trips and yes its good but no where comparable to strong potent varities like og kush, chemdawg and others. Incredible taste though and a good racy high when you havent build up tolerance yet. Nice review and great pics.
WTF, what a disgrace, that hash is far far too thick, it wont burn well, still better than nothing i say lol
Oh man that sounds too gooood. Snake-in-the-grass there above I can see.. niiice niice. Enjoy my friends.
Super Lemon Haze = Super Lemon Junk!
I could not possibly agree with meangreenmartian any more. I grew some of this last year from seeds acquired from attitude. The yield was 1/4 what "Arjan" claims the girl will give off. At this point everyone who's been to "The Cup" (yes, I've been myself) knows it's 100% about marketing and very little about the figuring out what the best nugs on earth are.
Arjan hands out colorfully packaged buds with the greenhouse logo and has the marketing component nailed. For that, as a businessman I respect him. It's won him all the cup awards and certainly put the Greenhouse on the map.
However, take a trip to Mendo or Humboldt. As MGM says, try the Chemdawg, try the real OG Kush, try some Mendo Purps, Try some Trinity, try some of the real trainwreck….
Then tell me this garbage from across the pond is the best in the world. I promise you would not.
my 2.5 cents. Regardless of what you're smoking…have a great day everyone!
yeah your absolutley right, all these nugs they enter into contests cannot possibly be the best nugs around. i know, because when i get the best nugs around i smoke them, in no way whatsoever could i possibly give my best chronic to some judge i never even met. if you are a kind grower, than lots of your stuff would be good, but never would i give my best nugs to just anyone off the street, unless the cannibus cup is made of gold or simply valuable enough, although marijuana has turned out to be a million dollar industry that makes it so cruel. we all want the best nugs in town, why is it so expensive it grows on a tree?
…it's not a tree, it's a herb, not an annual or perennial etc… a herb. So when the #1′s gone, that's it – gone. Which is just one of the myriad reasons it's so damned expensive. D'uh!
i just got back from dam and barneys and the greenhouse are having issues getting it.
wow where can i get some nugs like that, it looks so familiar, but surely i have not yet smoked the lemon haze, great descriptions, i can almost taste it, i guess i will have to smoke my diesel, for now, its super skunky and its smell just permiates every where i go, my friends dad thought there was a skunk in the back yard but seriously will i be able to buy weed like this for a reasonable cost if legal for recreational use in california, or will it simply go way too fast that you would be much better off growing your own, since the population of pot smokers will climb rapidly?
Hey guys just to throw in my two cents here. The cannabis cup winner is about what the MAJORITY of people chose as their favourite smoke during the competition, and although I notice that most of you american smokers enjoy your strong indicas, like OG kush, trainwreck etc… The sativa high in this kind of bud is just what makes it the winner, it doesn't put you to sleep but it has you flying for sure. disagreeing with the cc cup winner is one thing, but you can't blast this bud just because it's not what you're looking for in some top nugs, I am a very keen toker who has been to amsterdam 5 times already despite my young age (18) and this is hands down my favourite bud, to me nothing beats this high it just has me flying for at least two hours from a (big) bong rip, great lemony flav, just a delight to smoke. During my 5 trips to the dam I have found myself wandering over to the Greenhouse Lounge for some more of this killer bud EVERYTIME. If you guys don't like sativas because they are not "strong enough" for you then that's fine, buy some cheese or trainwreck or kush or purple or whatever rocks your boat, those are all cheaper options for sure and if you're just looking for the couch-lock effect the delicious flav and subtle high that you get from the SLH aren't for you, but don't blast the bud that's won the cc cup twice in a row, trust me there's a reason why this is the most voted for bud in the past two years cc cups! (and it's not just about Arjan being the great buisnessman that he is either).
Given that you are 18 I'll go easy on this response. But I promise you this is not IMHO an indica vs sativa discussion. If it were you've degraded your position already because Trainwreck for example is about as sativa as they come my friend. The purps (also mentioned) is also a sativa. And I'm referring to the real purps, not the bcbuddepot rip off.
I'm 38 live in NorCal and admit to being biased because I truly based on years of testing believe the best buds come from here. My education is based on years of growing, smoking, and yes visiting the cannabis cup.
The cup is about 5% people who know good pot and %95 stoned out of their brains American college kids who don't give a shit about what they are smoking, but love Arjans free colorful packs of buds.
Every time I'm in Amsterdam I seem to prefer Barney's. If you want a knock you on your ass sativa, and are in Amsterdam then try Barney's Laughing Buddah. It beats SLH hands down. No pretty packaging though.
I get it, the SLH isn't your favourite bud, but that was kind of the point I was trying to make, you can't possibly have everyone agree on what's the best, everyone has different tastes and some people (imo) have somewhat biased opinions. I'm just saying that out of the 50 (or so) strains I've tried in dam this is my favourite, and was a lot of other people's favourite bud (notably can cup judges) but I haven't been to the c cup so I can't say what kind of guys are judging in the first place. Just to make a little side point though, I personnaly do care what I am smoking and their are definately a few coffeeshops and a few strains that I will never go to or try again (I'm thinking of tourist traps like the bulldog, pool cafe coffeeshop etc…) because the quality just isn't there.
But you have to admit it's not just a straightforward "I think this is the best, so it is" because their are so many different variations on taste and effects that some people are bound to prefer some types of buds to others. Anyway Thank you for the tip about Barney's, I'll have a look at their laughing buddha in a couple of weeks when I head back to the dam, haven't been their before it was always to crowded.
Oh, and the only trainwreck I've had access to was an indica, and short of going to the states and hunting down the original arcata clone I can't really get my hands on the version I think you are refering to, because feminized seeds (or any seeds for that matter) of that particular cut are not available. And the same goes for purps, I have definately tried some indica dom purps in the dam (not purple haze of course which is a sativa). Next time you're in the dam, have a look at the Alaskan Ice (listed as a sativa but more of a hybrid imo) or Bubblegum (indica) at the Greenhouse, I've tried their entire menu and never been dissapointed.
Oh and another quick point, always ask to see the buds before buying them, you can't just count on them being good because of reputation, it might not be the best of batches or it could mostly be shake if they've sold a lot of it already, imo the best way of being able to try the best buds is always to have a look at them before buying them, even the SLH was mostly shake last time I went to the dam, I had to go 3 days in a row and only on the third day did they have some decent sized buds!
Sorry for rambling on lol Kind regards, UK toker
i found many buds which i thought were better than super lemon haze , in smell , high and potency in amsterdam. i didnt even buy any on my last trip , i tried the green house so called american varieties and was very disappointed
im gonna grow some of this i hope it does well in norcal outside
I thought I would chime in as I haven't read many reviews from actual growers, mostly just consumers.
I don't claim to be a pro, but I know what I'm doing and have brought in many successful harvests, and as a grower who just harvested around a half lb. of SLH, I feel like I have a good sense of this herb and would like to help in any way if others are thinking of growing it.
SLH has a short nine to ten week flowering time, which was a great pro for a sativa, but we harvested less than two zips per plant, which, for us, ain't so great. In all honesty we really only got about a zip of dried bud when all was said and done per plant, and since we grew mostly SLH, we were dissapointed in our overall yield. Also, the flavor was predominantly pink grapefruit, not lemon, which led to some additional dissapointment. This was not because of a flushing issue or premature harvest, it's just the way it came out.
The high of this herb was great, I must say, however more than one of my friends commented that it "wasn't what they were expecting" from a back-to-back CC champ. Why? Well, the stone is just not overpowering. It made me feel extremely happy in body and mind, and yet I still found myself reaching for some Arjan's Haze 1 or Hawaiian Snow after just toking up the SLH. Check out the seed prices on Attitude or Seed Boutique and you'll find that SLH is one of the lower priced seeds available, even in feminized form. I believe there is a reason for this, as we have found that the quality of the bud usually coinsides with the cost of the seeds. This is not always the case, but I digress.
Would I recommend growing this strain? Probably not, unless yield is not really a consideration. Would I recommend smoking it if you get the chance? Absofuckin'lutely, but keep the kush close by
Wow, after reading both Chubbs (and now MelodyMaker)'s take on the Super Lemon Haze, I have to say that I am honestly a little shocked and disappointed. The Cannabis Cup has been around since '87 or '88 (correct me if I'm wrong), and the back to back champion as of now has retained an A- rating?! I trust the grade because of the accuracy of many other reviews. Most nail the experience right on the money.
Since this year will be my first at the Cup, I'm going to take the safe bet and go with MelodyMaker's choice of either Arjan's Haze 1 (or Hawaiian Snow) for the sure-proof, leaving the SLH as a back-up or possibly just a couple gram alternative…
Thanks for the help dankasaurusrex + MelodyMaker!
haha nice hash joint. i wonder how many phenotypes are in super lemon haze. anyway, good review…i need to get some of this shit pronto
YW, dank…and I think you'll really like the Hawaiian Snow, so I'd try that first if you're heading to the Greenhouse. Not sure if it's different in the Dam, but ours produced a smell and flavor akin to grape jelly with a hint of citrus….so good. Not to mention the potency is 23% THC according to their ads. If ur hitting up the Cannabis Cup, however, I don't think you'll have a hard time finding something you'll enjoy smoking! Have a fantastic time!
Greenhouse makes tons of good strains, and it's really not a huge surprise that they won the cannabis cup of 2009.
damn! id think a cannabis cup winner wouldnt need a hash crutch to hold it up. gotta do what u gotta do. im definitely going to try a fat snake joint next time i come across some quality hash
guys what counts is
some kush are a lot stronger than best Hazes, because it really knocks you out. OK. but kush strains have a shitty taste
best buds are of course Haze hybrids , thus Sativa dominants
-Amnesia Haze
-Super Lemon Haze
-Cheese x Haze
-Martian Mean Green
-Cheeseberry Haze
-Cannalope Haze
-Super Silver Haze
-Jack Herer
-Hawaiian Snow
best indica dominants I've tried, in terms of taste, are
-BlueCheese (Big Buddah)
-Cheese (HGF)
-BlueMooonshine (DJ Short)
-NYCD (Soma)
wondering if anyone has heard of a blackberry kush super lemon haze hybrid i think this would be a dank combination
This strain is one of the best you can grow from seed on the market right now even though it is from the super commercial Greenhouse. It pisses me off when some people knock the strain because "it didn't yield enough" or they had a bad batch. order the seeds grow it correctly and you'll get a yield and some great smoke.
Ncbuds, your comment is rude and just stupid. Neither Chubbs nor I ever "knocked" this strain, and if you'll take the time to acctualy reread the review and my post, you'll see we both had good things to say. This site is supposed to be dedicated to providing people with accurate information, and that is exactly what Chubbs and I were trying to do. Even high times agrees with us (2009 Cannabis Cup issue) so unless you'd like to contribute truthful, usefully information, please find another place to vent.
hi guys i see a lot of hating going on here i'm 32 been smoking all kinds of unwashed crap till i finally decided enough is enough and got a super silver haze momma going she's incredible keeping the humidity real high and the leaves are getting super phat almost hemp looking. i have a hundred percent cloning rate and am in soil she loves sugar but wilts is synthetic fertilizer is even in the room.. i pretty much veg only seven days after rooting and stick straight into flower.. i have recently started a super lemon haze and a nevilles haze from seed i have a 12 ft. deep systern to purge with co2 once i get er set up right… and i know one things for sure i'm after something that ain't got the effects of the couch locking indica because when i smoke i usually end up in my fabrication shop tig welding up some crazy master piece for the thinkers and do'rs sativa dominant and for the couch potatoe eating class indica!!! and correction read back somewhere og kush is indica haha bullshit it's sativa dominant it just recieved the name and it stuck also an incredible strain i want to try trainwreck as well cheers all happy smoking!!!!
i just wanna add one more thing.. one thing i learned in life is people who listen more then they talk learn and grow i'd put money on it that if your stuff is junk you don't know how too grow i've read almost ever cannabible medical marijauna bible breeders bible and every piece of liturature i can find on each strain i'm after and i am one hundred percent confident this strain after my tlc will rock the world of even the most higly tolerent smoker my plans are bat gauno 25 n, fish emulsion, mollasus, a little b-1 super thrieve once in a while, some mag cal iron supliments, for veg and on momma i use a little peroxide every few months to break up nutrient pockets then flush,,, want those electical conductivity levels low in these babies!!!! then during flower i use a little flavour enhancing citrus suppliment bat gauno p 26, fish emullsion bloom, synergy 1/2 dose, fish bones meals loosned up in a presure cooker first to accelerate plant absorption, and am planning to use a product called final flush at 70 days and then nothing but water till the tries turn cloudy ( but if anyone has ever grown succesfully i ask should i just let the water flush nutrients at 70 or should i use the final flush i'm after quality not quantity) if anyone has suggestions for me i'm def willing to listen honestly until 9 months ago when my ssh baby popped her pretty face out i never new shit about growing. my veg room is 400w metal halide and my flower room is 2 600w full spectrum and a 400 in the middle!!!!! best thing i ever did and would gladly give my best nugget to any true consiour who appreciates all the knowledge and hard work that goes into these ventures cheers all and thanx for your time
SLH is a good yielder if you know what you are doing
hey guys,i guess most of you never smoked or even growed the superlemonhaze.
damn arjan,yes you're right.
but don't damn the superlemonhaze….
im actually growing it now,and,yeah,i can tell you folks,it is one of the best strains i've ever seen in my entire life…
not enough that the lemonhaze has a great great yield,the taste is amazing and the high is just..wow…it blows you away
Also growing SLH from GHS, she really stands from the other strains, it's structure and color is beautiful you can tell it's just superior. SLH is also one of the fastest grower in my garden, around 2″ a day Soil/400WMH and GH nutes + Calmag, I'm switching lights today, but I read you should flower this plant the whole 11 weeks, having the last one with no lights at all for best results- So I'll tell you about taste/potency in about 2 months. 2C
man, you're right about that. If you want these to yield they must have a good veg and one must be careful not to overfeed, very economical. I am looking to pull over a half pound off one stinky, lemony, fuely-smelling slh plant. I am like many who are indica crazed, I grew up in the A where it was nothing but expensive kush or purp provided by nigs. However this haze grabbed my indica biased attention. Some of the other phenos are not so attractive, just typical hazes, without the 'gas' punch so go for a 10 pack. I found 2 keepers
If you are looking for an indica dominant "knocked out", "don't care about anything" type of effect, Super Lemon Haze might not be for you.. SLH does have a powerful, intoxicating feeling/stone, that is accompanied by a thought-provoking, energetic and trippy, uplifting, giggly, and happy experiance, that is also numbing, providing decent pain relief….. What more can you ask for?? As some users put it, it ticks all the boxes…
