text: Blalock knocked down 9-14 in his last game. And in the preseason, before Flip iced him for a good long, long time on the bench, there was no problem with Blalock's shot. Nine for 14. Seems open minded posters here could change their opinions. Me, first I watched Murray fall out of the rotation after never giving any effort on defense, save against Minny when he thought he might get traded there. Then I saw him get another chance and do well the first four games. Then I saw a big dropoff in effort, continuing to this game today. Some of this was going thru the flu, but I belive most of it is just Flip Murray being Flip Murray, whenever he can get away with it. And the Flip Murray he wants to be, I don't like. PS, open minded or not, I watch every game a 2nd time to check my observations. This one, I have already watched twice. Murray does not belong playing point for us. As for this going to a different thread, I strongly disagree. In this game, we saw no bench in the 2nd half, and a non-functional one in the first half. I say its Flip's choice in who he uses as backup point. Lessons learned from a game certainly belong in that games thread.

Any fellow pilots kicking around?
There's not that many real EvE players on OnRPG. >< I'm currently still sort of burned out. I want to return but rising plex prices and the monotony of what I used to do don't really help.

I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
Perpetuum is hitting Steam in 2 days. Maybe check that one out ?
Im not burned out just sick of the immature community people shall be majority 25+ but behave like 3 year olds pvp got boring when you fight all kinds of kids.
I used to be in a small (as in 6-man corp) WH corp as well but I quit that as solo WH exploration is fairly suicidal with little to no PvP experience. Needless to say, if you don't have an alt, it's also hard to get back if you do get ganked.
@Duero, EvE is fairly mature. EvE is NOT a solo MMO. ANYTHING BUT a solo MMO even. The community in EvE is what ties it together. The ganks, the rage, the fun you have doing that to other players and the responsibilities you get after being active in your corp/alliance.
Edit: not to mention that you can do whatever the **** you want, other than IRL threats, newbie killing and the obvious hacks and goldbuying.

To be honest CoD and BF has a more mature community. How can I say so you think well sure you have your 12-15 years old who are immature. Then you have players in my 20+ and allot of them just tru to have a good fight they don´t get angry they just try to have a good time and there is 0 Drama.
The drama in EvE is like watching an episode of jersey shore in space. So in the end a few nice eve players like 4 of them told me well ignore those bad players then witch im doing buy not playing the game because if I shall ignore 90% of the community why play a mmo if you shall run Solo in a mmo that is more focused on big alliances than solo play. EVE is a great game just need less A-holes and less jersey shore episodes.
Im not kidding when I say I know allot of people who quit playing thanks to a shitty community in eve I even know people who just started but quit 2 weeks after not because the learning curve but to people being Shit heads It´s like They don´t wan´t new players because they get scared away with all the drama and stupid people.
But as you said you can encounter bad players in all games but it´s way to much in EVE. And it´s up there with HoN LoL when it comes to worst immature community of all time.

But yeah as you said Snow the best part with eve is that you can do whatever the F you want. But there we are again with the community if you do The F you want like ApocaRUFF he was mining for FW but in every other eve players mind if you doing anything that is not pvp, Like mining, missions or exploring your a noob a worthless player a care bear so in the end eve is to what the F you wan´t but if you don´t do pvp only your not a real eve player do like we do or don´t play at all.
Now I did pvp mostly becuse I love does big big 200 vs 200 500 vs 500 fight for me that was the fun part but because I liked pvp I never smack talked about player who did not do pvp because im not that immature I need to talk shit about others that don´t play like I do.

Yup, I'm playing eve right now, came back to it several months back. I've just been grinding isk with the occasional lowsec roam or doing some goofy event, like doing level 4's and 5's in a swarm of t1 frigates. Not sure if I'll cancel my account again or not come summer expansion, since they seem to be trying to kill the game with this expansion, not to mention making my standings I've grinded for five years to make a corp boosting service, completely and totally useless.
Now I have also played MMOs since the beginning of time. And there are countless worse communities. Such as the ones you mentioned, Lol/HoN etc. But also the FPS communities, are also quite immature. Annoying kids everywhere. I play WoW as well, and I cannot describe in words, just how much I despise that community. However, Eve is different. It does indeed have its bad part, but OVERALL, it is a better community than most out there today. And I speak from experience, as I started in 2003.
I recommend that you go back and try the game again.
nah your right people who to toy with emotions for there own pleasure is not immature I call them disrespectful A-holes. But truer word has never been spoken treat others how you want them to treat you so people being A-holes to me because they find it fun trying to get me angry well I mark they as A-holes and give them Zero respect. And no I don´t get angry when I lose a ship it´s game no point in wasting energy on ones and zeros. All I am is sad that people need to be such shit heads to please them self.
In any case, Duero's burned out on the community (I think). So far the only person that I know that says the community is bad. Oo
It's usually the 'MS Excel' part putting them off. :/

Eve is famous for Cyberbullying I seen allot of sites and blogs writing about it being bullied my self and know people who even killed them self out all the bullying that´s something I look down own. Eve player things it´s all fun and game but that´s not the case and that why I will never return to eve even if I love the game because I hate does kinds of people and as I said you don´t see them when you are a bullie your self and that´s why to you the community is great.
No im not saying you guys are the kind of people but can be one reason you don´t see the bad I do or you don´t see it becuse your corp is not full of shit.

I never stick to eve online for more than a month before I get bored and quit.
P.S. I'm in a bad mood. We would've won a 4v5 but our 5th came back to take cs and feed.
Im still struggling to find out what the point of your thread was, and intention you hold in it?
You seem to shoot down anyone who has a slightly different opinion about EvE than your own, but then merit those who speak fondly off it.
Your question was "are there any pilots?" - your answer was "No, everyones burned out now after 5-8+ years of the game, and dont really have much intention going back", so other than that, whats your objective here?
I cant help but think your like trying to promote the game, to gain some fresh faces, or different intent all together?
Either way - i think i myself, will hang off for Star Citizen, and see how that goes first.
the action or process of talking about something, typically in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas.
"the proposals are not a blueprint but ideas for discussion"
"Debate" works too.
Apparently good sir, you do not realize that discussions happen from time to time. Discussions about things occur when there is a common interest and/or conflicting interest. I have not shot anyone down. I have merely asserted my own opinions which are based on my own experiences. And I believe I have done so, very politely... I might add.
My friend, I think you may be confused.

The trend towards aggregation in European gas networks has become strongly evident in sector deal making. It's a development that we predicted in earlier reports in this series and that will continue. We also now expect attention to turn to potential value in gas generation assets. Market conditions have left many plants mothballed. But, despite the current economics, gas assets remain an attractive long-term investment opportunity.
European power and renewables deal flow is holding up despite continuing uncertainty about government energy policy in a number of countries. The US$27.7bn total value of deals for European targets in the first half of 2013 is a third (33%) up on the US$20.8bn total for the last six months of the previous year. Indeed, it is not far off the US$29.4bn announced in H1 2012, a figure that was considerably buoyed by the US$11.1bn GDF Suez/International Power transaction.

What do you think TB will do to Indy tomorrow nite ?
Colts are due for a monster break out game.
I thought I had a chance this week until the Ravens D put up 32 points against my squad last night. :(
Surprised me too. They and Newton made up almost 70% of my points :nerd2:
Flacco with a strong 2.32 pt.
Andrew Luck tutored by Peyton Manning wouldn't be a disasterous qb situation. Stanford vs. USC-Andrew Luck Lays out Shareece Wright (Impressive tackle by QB) - YouTube
Hey man, I have a weak quarterback situation. Cut me some slack! lol. We are 2-2 though. I've had one of the toughest schedule in the league so far (second to Aurora) so I can't complain too much.
Let's see...how can I improve my team? My team scored the 6th most points out of 14 fantasy teams on the season. Opponents have scored the 5th most points against my team on the season. My team scored the 3rd most points in the league and still lost last week. Webz is in the same boat. Record 1-3 and 13th place. Random.
Yea...I felt bad for you when I saw that. You were probably hoping for easier competition this week. Now that bye weeks are here...it only gets more difficult. I started with two really good scores, then I've seen my players go into the crapper the last two weeks. Interesting though that I split both sets of games...first two, last two.......
How about what LBlount did to Webz Monday nite.
I like when the bye weeks arrive. Anyone can draft a great starting team, but you need depth come the bye weeks. That takes good managerial skills.
Yikes! I didn't know our teams were supposed to be deep. Good thing I'm not playing you this week.
This post is very deep........ My defense which I picked....isn't... I plucked up 3 WRs the other day....they were in the shallow end. I'm hoping at least one of them can go deep....
None of our teams are deep. That's why I propose 2, 6-8 team leagues. You would play your regular Yahoo matchup, and we would have a scheldule here. Total weekly point matchup. This way we could all have good players.
I'll participate in a Bad Quarterback League next year if we have one.
What is that ?
70% humor, 25% sarcasm, and 5% BYU fan............
It's going to take C.J. at least 8 months to recover from that one and another 4 months to figure how to slam you back!

Men's Golf Wins Shootout, Leads Home Invitational
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Led by an even-par 72 from senior Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.), the Green Bay men's golf team won the Green Bay Shootout on Sunday at Green Bay Country Club with a 4-over par 292. Ebert's Phoenix team shot a 303 on a more blustery day on Monday in the first round of the Green Bay Division I Invitational, but Green Bay heads to Tuesday's final round leading the Green Bay B team by three strokes (306).
The Green Bay Invitational at the par-72, 7,097-yard course concludes on Tuesday morning with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.
On Sunday, Green Bay's A team's 292 bested the B team by 17 shots (309) while St. Norbert finished in third place at 321. Sophomore Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) and senior Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) each posted rounds of 1-over 73 on Sunday while junior Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) rounded out the scoring with a 2-over 74.
Ebert, the 2012 Horizon League champion, opened his senior campaign with an even par round that included a back nine 34 and four birdies.
For the B squad, a trio of Phoenix golfers carded 5-over par 77s, including sophomores Tyler Schmidt (Jefferson, Wis.) and Chad Bonis (New Berlin, Wis.) and freshman Kyle Shafer (Spring Valley, Wis.). One shot behind them was junior Joseph Collard (Marinette, Wis.) with a 78.
On Monday, Green Bay welcomed eight schools to Green Bay Country Club for the 36-hole Green Bay Invitational. Butler and Chicago State joined two Green Bay teams for the Division I event, and the Phoenix A squad led the group with a 15-over 303.
Fuller opened his round with pars on the first 12 holes before birdying the 200-yard, par-3 13th hole. He finished the round at 2-over 74 to lead the A team. Bookmeier (75), Ozga (76) and Ebert (78) rounded out the team's scoring.
Schmidt sits at the top of the Division I field after a 1-over 73, the best Phoenix score of the day. Schmidt was 4-over after three holes before carding six birdies and playing his final 15 holes in 3-under par.
Collard shot a 75 on the strength of four birdies while Bonis made 11 pars en route to a first-round 77. Junior Sam Weber (Heartland, Wis.) rounded out the scoring rounds for the B team at 81.
The B squad is just three strokes back at 306 while Butler is in third (308) and Chicago State sits in fourth place (392). In the non-Division I event, Indianapolis leads the pack after a 3-under 295 with Lewis (308), Central (309), Concordia-St. Paul (314), St. Ambrose (321) and St. Norbert (325) rounding out the field.

Gingrich Calls On Conservatives To Recognize "Very Real And Complex Human Circumstances" Of Same-Sex Marriage
Newt Gingrich is calling on the Republican Party to recognize the "practical reality" of same-sex marriage and the "very real and complex human circumstances" surrounding the issue. Though Gingrich emphasized that he still believes "as a matter of faith" that marriage is between a man and a woman, these latest comments are at odds with what he has said in the past and with views expressed this week in conservative media circles.
In an appearance on Fox News' On the Record, Gingrich called the issues surrounding same-sex marriage "a very complicated human problem," saying "Republicans need to take a deep breath and understand, we need to deal with the human side of this equation."
As an example, he cited the hypothetical case of a same-sex couple legally married in Maryland -- the state's same-sex marriage law was upheld [1] in a referendum during the November elections -- that goes on a trip and is faced with a medical emergency. Gingrich asked: "What's their status if they want to go to the local hospital?"
Gingrich's comments come on the heels of Rush Limbaugh's outrageous claim that growing acceptance of marriage equality is leading to acceptance of pedophilia. On Monday, Limbaugh stated [2] on his radio show:
There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage. What has happened to gay marriage? It's become normal -- and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics it's the most important issue in terms of who they vote for. So don't pooh-pooh. There's a movement to normalize pedophilia. Don't pooh-pooh it. The people behind it are serious, and you know the left as well as I do. They glom onto something and they don't let go.
Fox Nation joined [3] Limbaugh in making the comparison, though Limbaugh has since tried to downplay [4] his comments.
On Fox, Gingrich continued to express support for the Defense of Marriage Act -- the 1996 federal law which defined marriage as between a man and a woman, thus denying same-sex couples federal benefits, hospital visitation rights, and other legal benefits that come from marriage -- saying he would vote in favor of the law if presented with the choice.
He added however that "as a matter of practical reality, we have to deal -- we, conservatives, have to deal with the objective fact that nine states have adopted a rule which is now going to make life more complicated."
Gingrich expressed similar sentiments in December when he suggested [5] that the Republican Party needs to accept the "reality" of same-sex marriage. He went on to say that he "didn't think [acceptance of same sex marriage] was inevitable 10 or 15 years ago when we passed the Defense of Marriage Act," but that "it didn't seem at the time to be as big a wave of change as we are now seeing."
He also stated of same-sex marriage: "It is in every family. It is in every community. The momentum is clearly now in the direction in finding some way to ... accommodate and deal with reality. And the reality is going to be that in a number of American states -- and it will be more after 2014 -- gay relationships will be legal, period."
His support of DOMA notwithstanding, Gingrich's comments represent a marked reversal from earlier comments he has made on the issue. When the Obama administration announced in February 2011 that it would no longer defend Section Three of DOMA, which defines marriage as a "legal union between one man and one woman," because it found it unconstitutional, the former House speaker entertained the idea of impeaching [6] President Obama over the decision.
In January 2012, he likened same-sex marriage to paganism, telling [7] religious leaders:
GINGRICH: It's pretty simple: marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a historic doctrine driven deep into the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, and it's a perfect example of what I mean by the rise of paganism. The effort to create alternatives to marriage between a man and a woman are perfectly natural pagan behaviors, but they are a fundamental violation of our civilization.

BP agrees to record criminal penalties for U.S. oil spill
By Kathy Finn and David Ingram
NEW ORLEANS/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - BP Plc will pay $4.5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to criminal misconduct in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which caused the worst U.S. offshore oil spill ever.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the deal a "critical step forward" but was adamant that it did not end the criminal investigation of the 2010 spill.
The settlement announced on Thursday includes a $1.256 billion criminal fine, the largest such levy in U.S. history. It was not, however, the "global" settlement some had hoped for, which would have also resolved the considerable federal civil claims against the company at the same time.
"BP lied to me. They lied to the people of the Gulf. And they lied to their shareholders, and they lied to all Americans," said Representative Ed Markey, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee who led investigations at the time of the spill.
The government also indicted the two highest-ranking BP supervisors aboard the Deepwater Horizon during the disaster, charging them with 23 criminal counts including manslaughter. One man's lawyer said his client was being turned into a scapegoat for the disaster.
The April 2010 explosion on the rig in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers. The mile-deep Macondo oil well then spewed 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf over 87 days, fouling shorelines from Texas to Florida and eclipsing in severity the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska.
The company said it would plead guilty to 11 felony counts related to the workers' deaths, a felony related to obstruction of Congress and two misdemeanors. It also faces five years' probation and the imposition of two monitors who will oversee its safety and ethics for the next four years.
Wall Street analysts said the deal will allow BP to focus again on oil production, while one U.S. senator from Louisiana said he hoped the settlement would not prevent his state and others from collecting civil penalties. Continued...

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by coynejeremy, Sep 4, 2011.
My guess was close...
BYU 37 Boise State 20 Gotta love those Cougars!!!
That's what she (and she, and she...) said.
Ok C.J. , Why did the Kraft Hunger Bowl off we a 6-2 team an invitation within minutes after the game ended and why did BYU accept? Weren't they both thinking they could possibly have done even better had they waited 2-4 weeks? I never remembering things happening so quickly. At any rate my buddy Shane bet his friend that he would give the guy $500 if Boise State went undefeated a and the guy would pay him $500 every time his Boise State lost a game. (No wonder lawyers charge clients so much). So Boise State is now 5-3 and my friend Shane has already raked in $500! Quote from a Boise State fan after the game "I don't mean to take anything away from BYU...but Boise State had a lot of injuries and new guys". I don't hate the BSU team... It's the fans I can't tolerate. Congratulations to Jeremy and his beloved Cougars!! Not sent from my tap-talk thingie.whatever that is.
Finally, that joke moves to the next level.
The only thing is, I never said "Come on Brigham Young" or anything even remotely resembling that. So as far as the joke, Jeremy just sort of ... Shall we say... For lack of a better phrase..,"Slipped it in there"
I appreciate the pun, but go check post #19.
Just don't bring up religion and politics. Probably not a good idea in mixed company anyway.
OMG! September 2012??? Over one year ago?? It took you over a YEAR to " come" up with that. That should go in the " " COME on Man" segment of the NFL pregame show!!
I was responding to something cj said about southern hospitality. I have lived in the South and it gets pretty rough down there when certain topics come up.
Oh. I don't think he meant anything political by it. Just a phrase.
Gazoo's post was just a word to the wise. Probably why it went over your head.
Remind me never to again speak on your behalf...
Couldn't resist. You are a good person.
Right, I don't think he meant anything by it. Trust me, I think everyone knows not to bring up politics on this board. It would be anarchy!
I think this little fella is lost. Doesn't he belong in the Eagles thread?
It's just a polite way of giving somebody the bird.......very effective, actually.

Great results from Advanced Yohimbe-Plus!

Great results from Advanced Yohimbe-Plus!
I initially discovered your product when I was having difficulty in maintaining an erection and ejaculating. This was a direct result of a medication named Lexapro which I began taking for generalized anxiety. I had never had this problem prior to taking Lexapro. Your product got me back to normal, thank goodness. I finally became used to the Lexapro and did not need the Yohimbe any longer. I have since ordered your product at times to enhance my erection and arousal with my wife. Your product works very well. I'm trying to get my wife to take the Steel Libido for women but she has not agreed to take it yet. I really wish she would.
Was this review helpful to you?
There are much better products out there.
Posted by Supplementsdiy on Nov 17, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I bought this product because I am looking for a quick libido booster. The formula also seems pretty good as it contains a number of well known libido herbs and is formulated by Ray Sahelian. It contains bioperine as you might be even absorbing more than other similar products. For me, it works really well. It makes it very easy to get very hard, more sensitive and allows me to go on much longer. In fact, my legs get a bit numb after some time or I might get cold hands or feet as the blood flow is concentrated around the groin area. Yoihimbe is a very strong stimulant. However, it tends to increase blood pres sure, increase heartbeat rates, can make me light headed (at higher dosages) and increased body temperature (your partner will probably notice too). This is not for the those with heart problems. It is important not to take it near sleeping time as well as you will not be able to sleep. I would strongly recommend that you start with only 1 softgel to test your reaction to yoihime before trying higher dosage. For me, I would stick to 2. Any more, the side effects get uncomfortable. Taking it at low dosages might help to build the tolerance to yoihime's side effects. However, this will also means that you will need more prior to action in order to achieve similar results. The softgel is made of gelatin (not for vegetarians), quite big and easy to swallow. The product does not contain fish oil in the past and they have cheapened it by adding it in and reduce the other herbs. Another concern is that the company uses titanium dioxide, a toxic linked to cancer and other health problems, as flow agent. Pricewise, it is not expensive unless s you plan to take it on a daily basis. Since this product contains a lot of oil, it is best kept in refrigerator as oil oxidised easily.

I initially discovered your product when I was having difficulty in maintaining an erection and ejaculating. This was a direct result of a medication named Lexapro which I began taking for generalized anxiety. I had never had this problem prior to taking Lexapro. Your product got me back to normal, thank goodness. I finally became used to the Lexapro and did not need the Yohimbe any longer. I have since ordered your product at times to enhance my erection and arousal with my wife. Your product works very well. I'm trying to get my wife to take the Steel Libido for women but she has not agreed to take it yet. I really wish she would.

I purchased this product because of the overrated reviews below it, however I used it several times combining both high and low dosages, but I never benefited from it or whatsoever. It only gave me severe dizziness and kept me awake all night whenever I took it. I've discontinued its use.
Not what its cracked up to be.

This product causes elevated pulse and blood pressure, and shakiness. This happened with eachuse. I did not see a significant positive change in perfomance, but instead experienced intermittent loss of sexual sensation. I am a relatively healthy young man of 30 years. No cardiac or blood pressure issues. I would advise anybody who does have any health conditions to stear clear of this product! Not only was the product not effective, but I was very distracted by all the other things going on in my body ie. the shakes and my heart racing, so the experience was all around ungood. Very disapointed.

I bought this for my husband who was having some issues with ED. Now with him taking only one gel cap a few hours before he is having no issues and is functioning better than I can remember. This product is absolutly fabulous. He recieved a sample of viagra from his doctor and I think the Yohimbe Plus worked better with less side effects. This is a great product.

The reaction to taking one pill for daily maintenance varies if you take it on an empty stomach. Increased adrenalin with an overwhelming heat rush. Does stimulate and get your circulation going. I have been taking prior to working out and has improved my stamina. It also does increase arousal feelings.
Very good product. Really works.

I am a repeat customer for this product....does wonders for me and seems to give me a daily edge. I take 1 morning and nite, and an extra for playtime. -Warren Eastman
Posted by Reviewer3202241 on Jun 16, 2008 | Verified Purchase
I really like this product. I am sensitive to yohimbe so I can't take more than three softgels spread apart in a 24-hour period. Response time for erection is not as quick as with prescription medication but performance feels more "natural" in that I have better sensation and I can release in a timely manner. Highly recommended.

NVIDIA, AMD Set to Square Off Once Again This Summer

The next codenames to remember: GT200 and RV770
After the
NVIDIA financial analyst call last week
, the company briefly hinted at its upcoming roadmap this year.
AMD's RV770 architecture, set to launch this summer, will be immediately followed by a new graphics architecture from NVIDIA, codenamed GT200. GeForce 9900, as it's been dubbed, is not simply a derivation of G92 like the current GeForce 9800 GX2 and GTX offerings.
NVIDIA has been extremely tight-lipped about GeForce 9900, as it overlaps considerably with its current high-end offerings. NVIDIA's latest flagship products,
the GeForce 9800 GTX and GeForce GX2 only made their debut last month
. Unlike the GeForce 9900, these cards were once again based on the G92 die -- nearly the same GPU used in the GeForce 8800 GT.
Original NVIDIA roadmaps put the GT200 launch in late Fall 2008. However internal memos sent out to board partners in early March detail that the GT200 processor has already been taped out. The same document alludes to the fact that the GT200 chip is very stable, and has been ready to ship for reference designs for several weeks already.
The company gave no reason for the tentative roll-in, but with AMD launching the successor to successful RV670 (Radeon 3850, 3870) this summer, it seems entirely plausible that NVIDIA anticipates another close race.
AMD partners claim Radeon RV770 will make its debut this summer under $300. NVIDIA's 9900 is currently scheduled as an ultra-high end adapter to be priced higher than the GeForce 9800 GX2 offerings, which retail for more than $500 today.
Channel partners indicate that the 9800 GTX and GX2 will begin phasing out next month in preparation for the GT200 launch. Both companies have made promises to show demonstrations of their next-gen cards at the Computex Taipei trade show on June 3, 2008.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

AMES, Iowa – Home gardeners have watched melon vines fill considerable garden space while anticipating harvest time. Most watermelon varieties produce mature fruit 75 to 95 days after seeding and 42 to 45 days after pollination. Cantaloupe requires 35 to 45 days to mature from flowering, depending on the temperature. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach tell how to determine when melons are ready to harvest. To have additional questions answered, contact ISU Hortline at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-294-3108.
The fruit of the muskmelon or cantaloupe is mature when the stem slips easily from the melon with slight pressure. The melon is not ripe if the stem has to be forcibly separated from the fruit. Other indicators of maturity are based on touch, appearance and aroma. When ripe, the flower end (the end opposite the stem) of the melon should be slightly soft. As the fruit matures, the skin between the netting turns from green to yellow. Finally, a ripe melon produces a strong "muskmelon" aroma.
Unlike muskmelons, the fruit of honeydews do not slip off the vine when mature. The best indicator of ripeness is a slight softening of the blossom end of the fruit. There may also be a subtle change in the color of the honeydew. Honeydews can be stored for two or three weeks at a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Harvest watermelons when the underside or belly of the fruit turns from a greenish white to buttery yellow or cream. This color change is especially pronounced on the dark green skinned varieties. In addition, the fruit tends to lose its slick appearance on top and becomes dull when ripe.
For most individuals, thumping or tapping the melon is generally not a good indicator of ripeness. Rapping an immature melon with your knuckles produces a metallic ring. A ripe melon gives off a hollow or dull ring. While experienced home gardeners may be able to determine the maturity of watermelons using the thump test, most individuals will have difficulty differentiating between the sounds.
When harvesting watermelons, leave 2 inches of the stem on the fruit. Watermelons can be stored at room temperature for about one week and for two to three weeks at 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Many of the Iowa State University Research and Demonstration farms maintain vegetable and flower gardens to provide gardening ideas and display new varieties available in Iowa. The Iowa State Department of Horticulture conducts flower and garden research at the farms to compare new varieties and gardening techniques across the state. Four farms are hosting August garden fields to share research results and a taste of the garden harvest.

I am always trying to come up with ways to build my own stuff. It is much more fun and challenging. Here is what I came up with for knee darts.
These were made using the WOF blue prints. The cost of materials was only about $5. The materials needed were several sets of Cable Stops purchased for 57 cents each at Menards. They are up to $3 a set elsewhere. (The rest of the part in the set were not needed) I also used half inch and three eighth inch aluminum rod purchased at a metal supply shop. I bought 2 feet off each, much more than needed.
Tools needed were a vice, vice grip, hacksaw, table mounted belt sander and drill press, metal files, a thread tapping tool, sand paper, steel wool, two metal spacers and JB Weld.
To make the pointed dart, I simply cut a few inch length off the half inch rod, put it in the drill press like a bit, turned on the drill and ground down a tip with a course file, fine file and sandpaper. Once I was satisfied with the shape and smoothness, I let it spin against some steel wool. I then cut of the excess rod, carefully drilled the hole in the tip and one in the back that was tapped with bolt threads.
The other darts were more complicated. I first put the cable stops into a vice making sure to put the parts that would get discarded in the vice as to leave no tool marks on my needed part. Again, using the WOF blueprints, I cut off the excess. Both cut cable stops needed some leveling on the belt sander.
The shorter, cable stop that became the back ring, was wrapped in cardboard, squeezed in a vice grip and drilled out with a half in bit on the drill press. The longer cable stop was drilled in the same manner, but one end was drilled just less than half way thru with the half inch bit, while the other end was drilled just less than half way through with a three eighth in bit. A small ridge remained in the middle.
I put a piece of half in rod through the back ring and into the half inch hole on the other cable stop. I laid this over the blue print, marked the half inch rod and cut it to the needed length.
I did the same with the three eight rod in the front. To drill the front holes nicely centered, I dropped a half inch metal spacer over the three eight rod that became the tip. It fit perfectly. I then put a three eight spacer inside the half inch spacer. This made a great drill guide. (Ace Hardware)
These parts were laid on the blue prints to insure they were streight and JB Welded together. I drilled and threaded the back hole, put in a headless bold, then put the bolt on the drill chuck and spun the piece against steel wool. Depending on the smoothness of the rods, some were sanded in the drill press before being cut to the needed lengths. The headless bolt was removed and of course I made three of these dart. Shown are two darts on my fiberglass knee pad that is in need of new paint.
If I did not have all the needed tools or access to them, this would not be a cost effective project. It took most of a Saturday to finish. It may have been easier to buy machined ones, but I am happy with how they turned out.

Work begins on dam repairs
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent | May 16. 2013 10:45PM
The state's Department of Environmental Services has signed off on the work, and the town is filing a reconstruction permit accompanied by a $3,000 fee, according to Public Works Director Mike Fowler.
"We have been in contact with a professional engineer with expertise in dam repair, and they have completed a preliminary design," said Fowler.
"We will be proceeding as quickly as possible and hope we can stitch this up in the next week or so," said Fowler.
"We'll also be building a 12-inch wall on the front face of the dam to tie into that," said Fowler. "We'll be reinforcing the steel, and the ultimate fix for the hole under the dam will be a chemical grouting process to fill the voids by a concrete-type of material."
Fowler said he expects the majority of the work to be completed by the end of next week.

Earthlings have been observing the changing faces of nearby planets ever since Galileo first pointed his telescope toward the sky. For centuries, the colorful disks of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars were the only planets that offered much of a show. Most other worlds in our solar system were simply too far away to present an interesting view. And the planet that could provide the most entertaining view of all—the earth—was simply too close. It took a while for us to develop the technology to observe our planet, but as anyone familiar with television or the Internet can tell you, we now do so with a vengeance.
Just click onto the World Wide Web and you can see an image of our home world that is usually no more than a few hours old. There's always a full plate of planetary phenomena to see: Watch the eerie flow of the earth's water vapor (which makes the globe look somewhat like the surface of an alien's cerebral cortex), follow the changing temperatures of the world's lands and seas (more complex than you might suspect) and the wispy, almost dreamlike covering of the planet's clouds (better than the Weather Channel), and get up to date on the location of the 21 most recent earthquakes (which are more frequent than you might think).
These global views are remarkable in themselves, but they're also not quite legitimate planet watching: All of them are composites or maps derived from satellite images or from ground-based stations. It's not like looking at the earth through a telescope. This will change in the year 2001, however, when Web surfers will be treated to a global view of our planet as imaged by a spacecraft situated a million miles away. The spacecraft, called Triana, will be located at the Lagrange L1 libration point (where the gravitational tugs of the sun and the earth are effectively neutralized). At that distance, the earth will cover no more than half a degree in Triana's sky—about the size of the full moon—and the onboard camera will have to peer at the earth through a telescope.
The notion of observing the earth from the L1 vantage point has been a vision of space scientists for decades, but as most scientists know, having an idea is nearly worthless if you don't have the money to make it a reality. This is where the nighttime dreams of Vice-President Al Gore came into play early in 1998. As the story goes, Gore woke up one morning thinking it might be nice to have a high-definition-TV-quality image of the sunlit disk of the earth available on the Internet 24 hours a day, a concept he called "Digital Earth." By the autumn of 1998, less than a year after Gore's vision, the Triana project was born. (There is a lesson here for young people considering a career in science.)
Although Gore's concept was originally criticized by some scientists as having little scientific value, the incarnation of the Triana mission will address some fundamental questions about the earth's climate. The principal investigator of the Triana project, Francisco Valero at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, is adamant that project won't produce "just another screen saver."
Valero's plan for Triana includes a broadband radiometer that will measure the amount of the sun's energy that the earth reflects back to space. Since sunlight is the principal engine driving our weather, an accurate measure of how much solar energy the earth absorbs is critical for climate models. Current means of measuring the reflected energy require the integration of several satellite scans that cover a relatively narrow strip of the earth. "There is a disparity of eight percent between the theoretical and the experimental measures of this value," says Valero. "Part of the problem may be that several satellite scans have to be stitched together to produce a global measure of reflected energy. Triana will be much more accurate because we can average many global snapshots of the earth." In Valero's mind there's little question that good science will come from Triana, and he is already hatching schemes to place earth-observing telescopes at other Lagrange points.
Triana is scheduled to be launched from the Space Shuttle late in 2000, on the eve of the new millennium and nearly 400 years after Galileo. There's something poetic about observing our planet through a telescope: We'll have finally brought the Galilean revolution full circle.

The fan was mesmerized by the "I'm a Tar Heel" commercial on the Smith Center video board.
You know the one. Tar Heel legend after Tar Heel legend pops up on the screen during a timeout, repeating the same message: "My name is _______, and I'm a Tar Heel." The spot that ran Friday night during Carolina's 76-59 win over Gardner-Webb was a new one, led off by Kendall Marshall and featuring all four 2012 first-round NBA draft picks, plus a host of others.
The fan watched every second. He saw Marshall. He saw Ty Lawson. He saw Sean May. So many great players in one place, and they all were Tar Heels, and can you believe that they all went here and...
"JOEL, pay attention!" barked Roy Williams.
And that's when the fan, who you might know better as Joel James, who posted six points and four rebounds in his Carolina debut, had to stop watching the video board.
"I almost got in trouble," said James sheepishly, and it is not easy for a 6-foot-10, 260-pound 19-year-old to do anything sheepishly. It is like watching thunder try to whisper. But he absolutely did. He lowered his already baritone voice another notch, as if to make sure Williams couldn't come bursting through the door and hear him relating the story.
"We were in the huddle, and Coach was talking," James said. "They were playing that, 'I'm a Tar Heel,' on the video board. I looked up, and I couldn't believe it. I was like, 'What am I doing in North Carolina's gym right now?'
"That was when Coach said, 'Joel, pay attention!'"
What is he doing in North Carolina's gym? You can tell it's almost impossible for him to believe. But he is an important piece of the next generation of Tar Heels. James, and Marcus Paige, and J.P. Tokoto and Brice Johnson-right now, you might still need the roster to know who is who. Soon they'll be as familiar as those faces that dot James's new favorite Smith Center video.
Eventually, we'll know them by their games. James has a deceptively soft touch around the basket, and had one very nice catch and conversion in traffic in the second half. Johnson came in for his first action and immediately tossed in a hook shot. Paige, who said this summer he wanted to work on his defense, was disruptive on a couple of second-half Gardner Webb possessions. Tokoto had a two-handed breakaway dunk.
And about that dunk. On the J.P. Tokoto scale of incredibleness, it barely registered. He was out in front of everyone, with Paige probably the closet player from either team, and he did something you or I could do (well, let's imagine I could do it). Tokoto was a terrific defender in high school, and Williams recently said he had a chance to be a standout offensive rebounder in college. But his fame has come from some incredible dunks. And in the open court in his college debut, we got...a pedestrian two-hander?
"You've got to get the first one down," Tokoto said. "It was kind of a close game, and I didn't want to do something crazy and miss a dunk. Because then Coach gets mad, and we want Coach to be happy."
You assume that this has probably been discussed, this easy method of keeping Coach Williams happy. At some point in these first 20 practices, you figure the coach might have mentioned that there are times and places for fantastic dunks. "No, he hasn't mentioned it," Tokoto said. "That's something you should probably just know."
Yes, probably you should. But not everyone does. That's what you may eventually enjoy the most about this group of freshmen. They have a certain savvy that's a little disarming in a group of rookies.
Johnson, for example, shook hands with everyone in the media crowd before beginning his first postgame interview. Tokoto recently chased down Eric Montross in a Chapel Hill restaurant for the express purpose of shaking his hand. They had met roughly five days prior for the first time. "Mr. Montross," the freshman told the 1993 national champion, "I just wanted to tell you it was great to meet you the other day."
Before you think it's quaint that Tokoto would call Montross "mister," consider that the freshman from Wisconsin was not born when Montross cut down the nets in New Orleans. Yes, that just happened yesterday but it also happened more than a Carolina basketball generation ago.
Paige, meanwhile, was so composed it was hard to tell if he'd just come from a midday snack at Sutton's or a basketball game in front of 16,430. "Coach Robinson and Coach Williams have let me know that there is going to be a learning period and a time of adjustment," he said. "We want to make that as short as possible. I have to handle the highs and the lows because those are going to come during every game."
When Paige finished his interview, he went to find his parents, Ellis and Sherryl, who are in Chapel Hill from their hometown of Marion, Iowa, this weekend. They are celebrating their anniversary and watching their son start at point guard for the University of North Carolina as a freshman.
You think they're having a good anniversary?
Eventually, you know that all of these individuals will be accustomed to being a Tar Heel. But it sure is a lot of fun to watch them get used to it, and watch everything about it be new. They're not cool to it yet, and they are absolutely delighted with it.
It's pretty simple: it's fun to watch people have fun. There will be time to talk about their shot or their defense or their stats. Right now, four people just lived a dream. For one night only, that's enough.
And then there was James. He was in the corner of the Carolina locker room, with ice on his knees. It was pointed out to him that he had just played his first game as a North Carolina Tar Heel and that he was, in fact, a Tar Heel, just like those players he saw on the video board.
I wish every Tar Heel fan could have seen the look that came over his face-and sometime this year, I bet you do get to see it. It was pure, unadulterated joy. He was absolutely gobsmacked by the reality of being a Tar Heel.
"I know," he said, and he let loose with a big, room-shaking laugh. His eyes went wide--really wide.
"That's crazy!"
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

What If … the "Hockey Stick" Were Wrong?
The "hockey stick" reconstruction of temperatures of the past millennium has attracted much attention – partly as it was high-lighted in the 2001 IPCC report as one of the important new results since the previous IPCC report of 1995, and partly as it has become the focus of a number of challenges. Discussion about the "hockey stick" is conducted with considerable fervor in the public media, where this curve is often presented as if it were a proof, or even the most important proof, of anthropogenic influence on climate.
As someone who has not worked on the past millennium, I do not want to discuss the merits of the often rather technical challenges (which have been dealt with elsewhere on this site). Rather, I want to discuss the "what if…" question: what if really some serious flaw was discovered in the "hockey stick" curve? What would that mean?
So let's assume for argument's sake that Mann, Bradley and Hughes made some terrible mistake in their statistical analysis, so we need to discard their results altogether. This wouldn't change our picture of the last millennium (or anything else) very much: independent groups, with different analysis methods, have arrived at similar results for the last millennium. The details differ (mostly within the uncertainty bounds given by Mann et al, so the difference is not significant), but all published reconstructions share the same basic features: they show relatively warm medieval times, a cooling by a few tenths of a degree Celsius after that, and a rapid warming since the 19th Century. Even without Mann et al, we'd still be stuck with a "hockey stick" type of curve – quite boring.
So let's try some more exciting "what ifs". In mid-20th Century, medieval temperatures are exceeded in all the reconstructions, hence recent (last 10-15 years, say) temperatures appear to be unprecedented for at least a millennium (that even holds for the alternative histories presented by the "hockey stick" critics). Now what if that were wrong – if all proxy reconstructions as well as model simulations of the past millennium were fundamentally in error?
Let us assume that medieval temperatures after all had been warmer than the present. Even that would tell us nothing about anthropogenic climate change. The famous conclusion of the IPCC, "The balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate", does not depend on any reconstruction for the past millennium. It depends on a detailed analysis of 20th Century data. In fact, this conclusion is from the 1995 IPCC report, and thus predates the existence of quantitative proxy reconstructions like the "hockey stick".
Climate changes can have several different reasons, and the cause of any particular climate change needs to be investigated on a case by case basis. It cannot be found by looking at one temperature curve. Had medieval climate been warmer than the present, this would probably have been due to some natural cause – perhaps a peak in solar output. That would only tell us that in principle, natural causes can cause warming larger than what we've seen in the past decades. But we know that already – one need only go back far enough in time (e.g., fifty million years) to find examples of unquestionably warmer climates than today. However, it would be naive to conclude that the observed strong 20th Century warming therefore also must have a natural cause.
Investigating the cause of 20th Century warming is done in so-called detection and attribution studies, which analyze the various forcings (e.g., solar variations, greenhouse gases or volcanic activity) and the observed time and space patterns of climate change in detail. These studies, with a range of different techniques, have invariably concluded that the dominant cause of 20th Century warming is man-made greenhouse gases.
In the spirit of this article, let's assume these studies were also wrong, in addition to all of the above. Let's assume these studies somehow greatly underestimated natural variability in the climate system, so that the "signal" of anthropogenic climate change has not yet emerged from the "noise" of natural variations (i.e., the above-cited "discernible human influence" had not been detected after all). Surely, then we wouldn't need to worry about global warming, and the world could hold off with the Kyoto protocol?

I don't know about you, but I'm already feeling the pressure of December madness. Really it's a fantastic time of the year when we catch up with friends, celebrate with colleagues and generally wind things up for the summer. But cramming all this in alongside final deadlines and the Christmas shopping can be a mighty task!
When it all gets a bit too frantic and crazy, there's nothing like sitting back and taking in the night sky. And this month, there's even more reason to do so.
This beautiful composition shows the extent of the Earth's shadow. It was taken from Europe, so you might notice that the Moon appears upside down.

During the early hours of Sunday 11th December there will be a Total Lunar Eclipse. We can watch the Moon change colour as it plunges into the Earth's shadow.
The eclipse begins at 11:46pm (AEDT) on Saturday 10th December as the Sun, Earth and Moon fall into line. At first, the shadow will appear to take a bite out of the Moon. Then, the Moon will enter full shadow or totality, just after 1am on Sunday morning. It will stay in shadow for 51 minutes, a little on the short side for a lunar eclipse as they often continue for over an hour.
By 2am, the Moon will begin to light up again and it's amazing how bright that first glimpse can be. At 3.17am all will be back to normal.
The interesting thing about an eclipse is that the shadow isn't completely dark. The Moon takes on a reddish glow as light travels through the Earth's atmosphere. Depending on conditions, it can also take on a hint of blue around the edges from light that passes through the ozone layer in the Earth's upper atmosphere.
So what might we see during this eclipse? On NASA's Science news website, atmospheric scientist Richard Keen of the University of Colarado says:
"I expect this eclipse to be bright orange, or even copper-coloured, with a possible hint of turquoise at the edge."
"I expect this eclipse to be bright orange, or even copper-coloured, with a possible hint of turquoise at the edge."
Sounds lovely, doesn't it? Apparently our atmosphere is nice and clear at the moment. Let's just hope the clouds stay away.
Best to try for this eclipse as we are coming up to some lean years. The next lunar eclipse will be a partial in June 2012. But to see a Total Lunar Eclipse, we'll have to wait until April 2014.

Eclipses are uncommon because the Moon's orbit (shown in green) is misaligned with the Earth's orbit around the Sun (shown in blue). If the Moon and Earth orbited in the same plane, we'd see an eclipse every Full Moon (as well as a solar eclipse every New Moon). But because the Moon's orbit is tilted by just 5 degrees, most of the time the Moon misses the Earth's shadow and moves either above or below it.
So enjoy taking some time out to appreciate the Universe we live in, as long as the weather lets us!

What do you think I should setup as?
I am new to Herps for the most part, but have a couple tanks I would like to setup for frogs such as dart frogs or red eyed green tree frogs.
First off; I would like your opinions on popular species that are fun and might breed for a beginner? (Main goal)
Secondly; How would you setup these tanks if they were yours and money was not as much an issue as just making everything cool and working as self-contained as possible? (of course I don't want to spend $1000.00 per tank or anything like that either)
Points to consider:
*I have a 46G bowfront & 60G Tall.
*both have glass tops with standard versa hood hinged front pieces and plastic rear strips(cutable)
*there's 2 x double strip lights holding 2x30W T5 bulbs each on top of the 60(lighting could be replaced), and one single strip holding 1x30W T5 on top of the 46. (I will need to know best bulb strategy if I use these light hoods)
*I want live not plastic plants. (how much for terrestrial plants and so on)
*Price of Herps is not as important as ease of breeding(main goal).
*Should I go with home created backgrounds using styro, or store bought for safety of Herps? or just plain rocks/wood/plants. (I have bags of smooth polished 1-4 inch safe river stones handy. Still need wood & plants yet)
*What is the best type of floor covering/wood for the type of setup you would create.
*Can there be rain or misty look in the tanks?
*Can the frog eggs - tadpoles be kept in the tank if a reservoir is created in the front areas of each tank.(how would you build the edges for climbing out onto the land mass when tadpoles are ready)
*If divided into sections(say 3 for the 46G and 3-4 for the 60) would this allow for enough room for each species to be kept.(I do have a couple sheets of plastic window covering 1/8 thick that can be cutup as needed)
*I would like to keep as many types or color morphs in these 2 tanks as possible.(space saving)
Let me know what other info you need to "prospect" one or both tanks, and thank you for your time.

Hello everyone,
I am going to dedicate this thread to all the mods I will be doing on my Tig. Originally I was planning to leave it stock but I just cant help myself, lol. My mods will mostly be cosmetic (for now). Here is the list I compiled:
1- Xpel headlights/foglights shields (installed)
2- OEM door moldings (installed)
3- OEM back up camera with module (installed)
4- OEM Rear hatch aluminum molding (installed)
5- OEM Side steps (may be)
6- 3M Clear Bra (installed)
7- Bull bars (can't find any yet)
8- Euro Switch (pricing out)
9- OEM aspherical mirrors (installed)
10- Individual badges (received)
11- OEM R-line door sills (installed)
12- OEM stainless steel mirror caps (en-route)
13- Fog light chrome bezel (looking for)
14- OEM rear underride guard (pricing out)
15- Hood Air Deflector (installed)
As you probably already noticed I prefer OEM accessories over aftermarket (with the exception of a few items such cross bars and xpel). I personally think they have better fit and finish.
So far the only thing I've installed is the Xpel which I must say fit perfectly. The cut and quality is excellent, well worth $45.00 especially when MSRP on your headlights is over $1200 each. I took some pics (see below) but you can't even tell its there unless you touch it. Installation was a PITA but it all worked out great. A heat gun is a MUST otherwise you won't be able to lay it properly due to a thickness of the film, which I must note is pretty thick. I'll be posting more pics as I progress with other mods
My new ride
X-pell installed

July Green-Biz Interview: Brian Higgins of Green Home, LLC
"I started this company when I became convinced that green building was simply 21st Century building technology," says Brian Higgins of Green Home, LLC. "When I look around and see what is happening to our planet, I am constantly reminded that we human beings, as an animal species, as intelligent beings, as a spiritual force, need to do better."
We asked Brian to tell us more about Green Home LLC, energy efficiency, reusable materials, and the evolution of the green economy.
Green America: What does your business do?
Brian Higgins: Green Home is a Maryland-based home-improvement company located in Hyattsville, MD. We began as Union Renovators in 2001, and this is our 11th year. We provide energy-saving, healthy, earth-friendly home additions, renovations, and solar heating. Lately we have been re-doing quite a few bathrooms and kitchens.
What makes Green Home, LLC a sustainable, green business?
Brian: We put into practice the principle of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" by working in existing houses, and renovating the spaces already there. We encourage ENERGY STAR appliances and put into place necessary and/or optimum levels of air sealing and insulation. We return salvageable materials to the Community Forklift, one of the nation's first building-materials thrift stores, for reuse by others; and we sort and recycle metals and paper-based waste whenever possible. All customer requests are first filtered by me through a green building sieve, to find the greenest, most affordable way to handle any project, no matter how small. For larger jobs such as additions and major renovations, we work with LEED- and green-credentialed architects.
Regarding green technology, we sell and install SolarSheat 1500 series Solar Hot Air Collectors, which can save customers 20 percent on their heating bills. Also, there is a solar hot water tie-in, which allows year round-use of the same collectors, giving hot water in summer, and hot air in winter.
What did you do before you started your green business?
Brian: I was a union carpenter, working on commercial and governmental projects around the Washington, DC metro area. I was a farmworker and a hobo before that.
My first experience with the beauty of carpentry came when I was very young, while my family's home was being built. I liked the patterns and shapes created by the wood framing. This is why carpentry is one of the practical arts. I sometimes kid with my workers saying: "We are creating ART here, people!"
I strayed from that during most of my youth, but I finally circled back around to an entry-level job with a residential remodeler. From there I joined the Carpenters Union, seeking better wages and working conditions. I have always been independent-minded, and I wanted to work on houses, and the only way to do that was go out on my own. I had plenty of experience at independence, since my "college" education was spent thumbing rides along the nation's highways. So I found I had transferable skills.
In 2005, the green, healthy, and earth-friendly building market was untapped or even unheard of. Green Home became official in March of 2006, and we have seen the green marketplace explode since then, where now even totally ungreen corporations like Chevron feel compelled to paint themselves green. It is obvious that a social, even epochal, change is occurring here, across the entire human spectrum. I would say it's about time.(interview continues below photo)
|Green Home LLC installed a SolarSheat 1500G, a black aluminum flat plate solar hot air collector, on this home in West Virginia. Sunshine provides radiant energy, which absorbed by the collector. A photovoltaic DC fan blows sun-heated air into the house, providing renewable solar heating.
What have been some of the biggest challenges of maintaining high standards of social and environmental responsibility?
Brian: Choices can become even harder when work is slow, because then it becomes a question of survival. There is also a balancing which must be done with a customer's finances.
For example, recently we completed a bath project, which mostly consisted of leveling a severely racked floor, and installing new flooring and fixtures. The customer was just moving into his first house, and could not afford a nice flooring like ceramic tile, or one of the Marmoluems. So he bought and we installed sheet vinyl, which wouldn't have been our first choice. We used Armstrong Releasable adhesive, which, if he can switch to a nicer floor in a few years, at least will come up without too much damage to the subfloor, and fortunately, the adhesive was low-VOC. I tried to direct him to the Community Forklift, for secondhand flooring, or to a similar resource in Baltimore. Those would have been greener choices.
Had I told him "We don't install sheet vinyl, period," my customer would have found someone else to do that work. When faced with a bad choice, we mitigate as much as possible. If the selection had been better at the time, he might have bought re-used vinyl from the Forklift. Here, we at least used an intelligent adhesive, which probably would not have been chosen by another contractor.
My marketing is all around green building, and my customers mostly come to me already on board, and wanting to build green. That's not always the case, so then we look for opportunities to educate homeowners about the benefits of energy-efficient, healthy, and Earth-friendly construction.
What is the most hopeful sign you have seen recently from the green economy?
Brian: Well, I am actually rather busy right now, and I have work scheduled ahead for a little while. That does give me a feeling of relief. And these are all green building projects. So the hopeful and inspiring part of that is that all of the calls that have come in are referrals, and folks are asking for, and open to, green, earth-friendly solutions.
What is still missing though, is something beyond the scope of the polite debate: That "economy" exists within "ecology" or the "Earth House Hold" as Poet Gary Snyder wrote about way back in the 1960's, and a sustainable economy must exist for all the worlds peoples to have "enough". Which is to say: certain economic sectors such as energy production and agricultural production , are controlled by capitalists who really do have their foot on the throat of humankinds' hope for the future. Witness
the failure of Rio (+/-)20 , and it is clear, the people are way out in front on whether or not we should have a sustainable planet.
Huge, seemingly insurmountable, political and economic forces still control the debate, and thus the somewhat miserable outcomes of the last 20 years. So what is missing is a new kind of economy, one in which the people decide, and the grasses, and dolphins, and the air and earth herself, all have a real say in the outcome. As David Suzuki put it, on Pacifica Radio Democracy Now!, we need to stop thinking of ourselves as Americans, or French, or Catholic, or Jewish, et. al., and begin we realizing we are human beings, and we still have this only planet, and the snowcaps are melting, we have to correct this for everyone.
What advice would you give to other green entrepreneurs just starting out?
Brian: Write a business plan, get help from your local Small Business Development Council, know your product, and really ascertain if what you have to provide is green, always look for ways to do it better, have a partner, know and understand your market. You are probably going to have to
educate folks about green. You are going to have to price your product fairly, which means, you have to eat, your company must survive, and your customer has to be able to afford it.
What do you know "now" that you wish you knew "then"?
Brian: I wish I had my accounts set up properly from the beginning, and that I had always had a bookkeeper. I started this business knowing little about business organization, and even less about bookkeeping.
What has been your proudest moment as a green business owner?
Brian: It seems kind of meager, but I am beginning to see FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified lumber showing up in local lumberyards more and more. Way back in the 1990's, I went around to local lumberyards with official FSC folders and information, and spoke with material suppliers about the
importance of sustainable lumber. It has taken more than 12 years to see that come to fruition.
What are you most excited about going forward?
Brian: Completing the projects on hand, and I am looking forward to new ones coming down the pike. I would like to find ways to improve sales of SolarSheat, since they have lagged since the economy took it's

Ellen White and Niamh Fahey are determined to crown a remarkable season by ensuring that Arsenal Ladies reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Laura Harvey's team, who won the Women's Super League and the Continental Cup this season, beat German champions FFC Turbine Potsdam 2-1 at Meadow Park in the first leg of their last-16 clash on Thursday.
As well as winning two titles, White, who scored Arsenal's second against the 2010 winners, was also part of the Great Britain squad at the 2012 Olympics and helped England to qualify for next summer's European Championships in Sweden. But while admitting she's proud of what she has achieved this year, the striker is now targeting European glory at domestic level.
"We've won two trophies for Arsenal and that's fantastic," White told Arsenal.com.
"It's been a whirlwind. Going to the Olympics was unbelievable and was something that I've never experienced before and maybe never will [again]. It was something to take in and I absolutely loved it. It was great to be a part of such an amazing team and being in London 2012.
"On a club front, it was fantastic to get two trophies, and England have qualified for the Euros. It's not been a bad season really.
"Collectively we all want to win the Champions League. It starts by beating Potsdam and getting in the draw for the quarters and hopefully getting a good team.
"But we're not finished yet. We've still got another 90 minutes ahead of us. We can't take anything for granted and hopefully we'll do the business on Wednesday.
"We've won everything domestically and what's eluded us for the last couple of years is the Champions League," Fahey added. "We've always reached the quarter-finals stage at least, so we definitely don't want to go out at this stage. The squad's ambition now is to win the Champions League."
"It's massive. Everyone's focused on it. We're going to go out all guns blazes to try and win it. Hopefully we can continue and see out the second leg."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
