Recent Before and Afters
Important to clean the ENTIRE HVAC System
Air duct cleaning is not just ductwork cleaning. In actuality, the entire HVAC system should be cleaned. Failure to clean all components of the system can result in recontamination of the entire system. That is why you need a professional airduct cleaning company like DryMore.
Besides the air ducts, HVAC cleaning in Fulshear should include the following components:
- Coils – The warmer air from your house is blown across the cold coils. The coils get wet from the moisture in that air condensing on them. Any dust in the air tends to cling to the wet coils. The moisture and dust on the coils is an ideal breeding ground for mold. The coils must be cleaned to prevent the air in your home from passing over the dirt and possible microbial growth on these coils.
- Drain Pan – The drain pan (or drip pan) collects the water dripping from the wet coils and is also an ideal place for mold growth. The air blowing over the coils and back to the living areas of your home also blows over the drain pan.
- Registers – The registers (or vents) need to be cleaned and the register box that they are attached to needs to be checked. Missing insulation or air leaks in the register box (diffuser box) can cause condensation and mold growth on the registers.
- Air Plenum – The plenum is the large box next to the air handler (the blower motor) that all of the air ducts come out of. The air going through your air conditioner system passes through the plenum on its way to the air ducts, and it tends accumulate a lot of dirt, debris, and other contaminants.
- Blower Motor – The fins and housing of the air blower tend to accumulate a buildup of dirt over time which makes the fan less efficient at moving the air. The blower motor sends the air from the cooling coils through the plenum, air ducts, registers, and back into your living areas.
Negative Air Pressure in HVAC Cleaning is CRITICAL
During Fulshear duct cleaning, the entire HVAC system should be placed under negative pressure (a vacuum) to prevent the spread of contaminants which may include debris from outside air sources, smoke residue, dust, mold, etc. The negative pressure allows the very fine particles and larger debris to be removed from the system as they become airborne. This ensures that these particles are not released into other parts of the HVAC system, or the home, during the HVAC duct cleaning.
During the HVAC cleaning, the negative air (vacuum) is produced by a large HEPA filtered vacuum with a 12 inch wide hose that is fed into the attic area and attached to the Plenum. The AC vents, except the one on the air duct being worked on, are then sealed off. Air powered whips or brushes are fed through the air duct to the plenum. This agitation breaks loose the contaminates on the inside surfaces of the air duct. The dust, debris, and/or mold spores that are broken loose from the air duct or plenum are all sucked into the HEPA vacuum machine through the 12 inch hose. Home owners are usually astounded to see how much dirt and debris is being sucked out of their AC system and down through the transparent hose. With components like the plenum, air mover, coils, and drip pan, contaminants are also removed by hand-brushing, cleaning solutions, or contact HEPA vacuuming.
The last thing you want is for the contaminants to be spread beyond where they already are. You are trying to eliminate the contaminants, not spread them to other areas of your home. If the Fulshear duct cleaning isn't done properly under strong negative air pressure (a vacuum), that is exactly what may happen. Not only won't you alleviate your problem, you will most likely make it worse.
So whether you're doing air duct cleaning in Fulshear TX for mold because you see mold on ac vents, or you need ac duct cleaning to remove the contaminants and improve your indoor air quality (IAQ), make sure to hire an affordable air duct cleaning company who does it right.
You need a Fulshear air duct cleaning company who:
Cleans the ENTIRE system, not just the air ducts
Breaks loose the sources of contamination
Provides Strong Negative Air Pressure to prevent cross contamination

CSS Only FOUT Prevention
This week, my colleague and I achieved what we thought was impossible: FOUT-less custom fonts, in pure CSS. You noticed it on this site, and would have seen it a few minutes ago, when you were checking out Raptor Editor. How did we do it?
Data URI those bad-boys
: as passcod commented, this isn't a new idea, and there are trade-offs to consider.
As always, our first consideration was IE7. Not really, but it is important to consider browsers with limited data-uri support. For IE7, one must first include the EOT & SVG files normally, and the woff & ttf fonts with data-uri urls in a separate font-face declaration after that. I've included an example below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
/* EOT & SVG for less than capable browsers */ @font-face { font-family: "Aller"; src: url(/assets/aller_rg-webfont.eot); src: url(/assets/aller_rg-webfont.eot?#iefix) format('eot'), url(/assets/aller_rg-webfont.svg) format('svg'); } /* WOFF & TTF for the champions */ @font-face { font-family: "Aller"; src: url('data:application/x-font-woff;base64,d09G...AA==') format('woff'), url('data:font/truetype;base64,AAEA...FCs=') format('truetype'); }
This snippet is an extract from the comprehensive gist that my colleague created – embedded fonts. It includes a demonstrations of how to achieve this with Compass.
Why not just use Typekit?
Until very recently, we used Typekit non-web safe fonts on our sites. We loved it. Custom fonts for all, with no FOUT in sight.
We decided that we would have to stop using the service after we noticed that Typekit would occasionally cause page to loads pause for extended periods or timeout completely. These issues were caused by the way Typekit works, blocking page rendering while it loads in the required fonts.
If the Typekit server is slow or unavailable, it will appear to the user that there is an issue with the website, and in extreme cases are not able to use the site at all. These issues are what prompted us to investigate alternative ways to use custom fonts without a FOUT.
What about you?
I'm interested to know what you think of this method – have you used it or something similar before?
Trade offs
passcod raised some issues with the approach suggested here. They are important, so I've updated the post to include them below.
- No more caching for woff and truetype!
- You're embedding the same font twice in two formats
The reason these issues are worth mentioning is that they result in an increased file size.
For me, this increased file size is a bearable price to pay to remove FOUT, especially considering that the CSS file itself will be cached. Yes, the initial download will take longer, but won't happen with each page load.

News coming in from the Mets Holiday Party where R.A. Dickey and Sandy Alderson have much to say…
Dickey Feels Insulted
"I feel like we are asking for less than what is fair."
Dickey also said the two sides are still far apart. He admits it's hard not to feel insulted by the pace, distance of negotiations.
Dickey feels he's extended an "olive branch" to the Mets. Says it's been hard not to take things personally.
He also said he would be upset if Mets ask him to play out last year at $5 million with no extension.
No Wholesale Changes
Sandy Alderson acknowledges he does expect the 2013 Opening Day roster to look similar to the end of 2012.
I guess it's okay to say I told you so… I never believed there would be significant changes for a second.
This is a disheartening development to say the least.
These are not rumors…
These are actual direct quotes from Dickey and Alderson themselves…
I take no pleasure in reporting this… This is sad…
Original Post 9:00 AM
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, the Mets have increased their contract extension offer to R.A. Dickey to two-years for $20 million dollars.
Dickey has been asking for a two-year extension for approximately $26 million, totaling $31 million over three years. The Mets now are closer to a three-year deal worth $25 million total.
This would put Dickey and the Mets only $5 million apart.
On the trade front, the Mets have not gotten and better offers for Dickey as many believed would happen after Zack Greinke signed and James Shields came off the table. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports adds that a deal to send Dickey to the Rangers is unlikely.
"While we're waiting for a better trade offer, we're also still exploring bringing R.A. back," Alderson said.
I've already mentioned many times the different reasons why teams are reluctant to trade for Dickey, so I wont keep repeating myself. But I will say that the front office has clearly misread the market for their 38-year old ace.
Mike Kerwick of Newsday says, "it's doubtful another team would hand the Mets a prospect as glittery as Myers."
My gut tells me that given the small disparity in dollars, a deal could get done before the end of the week. Maybe then, the front office can start focusing on all the other things that still need to be addressed on this roster, but have gone widely ignored.

Why are adult internships so much more difficult to find?
I thought someone would have bought the domain for adultinternships.com by now. Especially in this economy, it just seems like a good idea. The phrase "adult internships", however, gets 210 global monthly searches according to Google AdWords. This is a topic that is clearly not on the minds of many across the world. The phrase "paid summer internships for college students" gets 380 more searches per month. If an internship is considered the springboard to a successful career, why are so many leaving it only to college students?
Those of us who truly need the mentoring, support, and experience provided through an internship are the non-graduates who likely could not or did not take on internships during college because they had to earn money.
"Q4: If you must have a paid internship, go after the larger companies w/really competitive hiring processes. #InternChat"
"Q5: YES! It's not about the money – think of it as a class, the best class you will ever take! #internchat"
Really? That's the advice to give to someone who is getting pressure from their family to make money and become successful? Let me tell you how that reads to someone in this position: If your family isn't able to give you money and you have to make your own, take a lot of your time to compete against all the others for a position that you don't have the connections for anyway.
Maybe it's just me, but the lack of dedicated interest in helping non-graduates who are out of school find internships is appalling. In the United States our education system is on a decline. Students are still dropping out of high school and leaving college before they get their degree; and, these numbers are disproportionately high in the minority community. Whereas programs are set up to help college students find internships, those outside of college are left to their own devices. This sets up a privileged system where certain people must fight harder than the rest. Some say that's how it should be.
This gentleman wanted to start his career over. He wanted to do work that he was passionate about, but "[h]e did an Internet search for adult internships but found no short-term opportunities." He had the resources to start his own company, though. He is part of a generation that is increasingly funding their own ventures due to the lack of inroads in the current market.
If anyone wonders why Generation Y is the most entrepreneurial generation to date, then look to both our education system and company HR departments for the answer. Not an athlete or scholarship student? You're likely falling through the cracks at your college; and, your resume will be quickly tossed by an HR department instructed to hire only those with degrees. For this reason I am inspired by films like Waiting for Superman and The Lemonade Movie. I'm all for Obama's plan to educate America, but let's get some help for the forgotten middle child – the one who knows the career they want but doesn't yet have the means to get there.
Like a magnet makes it easier to pull out the needle, companies should provide the real world equivalent for adults searching for internships.

London (Aug. 26)
In an hour of political need, the Labor government of Great Britain has invited the cooperation of two of the most distinguished British Jews who have rendered great services to the British Empire in administering her colonial possessions.
Sir Herbert Samuel, Liberal leader and former High Commissioner of Palestine, known for his sympathies to Zionism, and the Marquis of Reading, former Viceroy of India and also a Liberal, figure prominently in connection with the critical situation in Palestine.
Sir Herbert, who has been spending his vacation in Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, was recalled to the British capital, where he is expected any hour. The London press suggests that Sir Herbert Samuel's speedy return to London is in connection with the possibility of his reappointment to the post of High Commissioner for Palestine, which he held during the period 1921-1925.
In connection with the visit of the Marquis of Reading to Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald on Sunday afternoon, notwithstanding the tradition of British Prime Ministers not to transact any business on Sunday, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns from reliable sources that the Marquis of Reading is prepared to proceed as a special commissioner of the British government to Palestine.
It is understood, however, that Reading will insist on two conditions prior to the acceptance of the mission to create peace between the Moslem Arabs and the Jews, a task similar to that which he faced as Viceroy of India. The first condition is that the area before the Western Wall of the Temple, known as the Wailing Wall, legally the property of the Moslem Supreme Council, be expropriated by the Palestine government in order to enable the promulgation of regulations fixing certain hours of worship for the Jews at the Temple and certain hours for the Moslems, since the site is holy to both religions.
The second condition demanded by the Marquis of Reading is that a permanent commission on the Wailing Wall be appointed by the British government, to consist of an English judge and two Palestinian judges, one an Arab and one a Jew. The commission would be charged with the task of regulating all problems arising in connection with the question of the rights of access and worship at the Wall.
It was reported today that Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, addressed a strong message of protest to Prime Minister MacDonald. Dr. Weizmann was urgently recalled to London and is expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon.
Felix M. Warburg of New York, who was recently elected chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency Council, including Zionists and non-Zionists, has been asked to prolong his stay in London for a number of days in order to confer on the Palestine situation.

4. Claim 1 of an application recites "[a]n article comprising: (a) a copper substrate; and (b) a electrically insulating layer on said substrate." The specification defines the term "copper" as being elemental copper or copper alloys. In accordance with the patent laws, rules and procedures as related in the MPEP, for purposes of searching and examining the claim, the examiner should interpret the term "copper" in the claim as reading on:
(A) Elemental copper only, based on the plain meaning of "copper."
(B) Copper alloys only, based on the special definition in the specification.
(C) Elemental copper and copper alloys, based on the special definition in the specification.
(D) Any material that contains copper, including copper compounds.
(E) None of the above.
4. ANSWER: (C) is the most correct answer. When the specification expressly provides a special definition for a term used in the claims, the term must be given that special meaning. See MPEP § 2111.01. (A) is incorrect because a term is given its plain meaning only when the specification does not provide a definition for the term. Id. (B) is incorrect because the specification defines the term as being inclusive of elemental copper. See MPEP § 2111.01. (D) is incorrect because it does not take into account the definition of copper found in the specification. See MPEP § 2111.01.

A table is a grid of cells with individual cells occurring at the intersection of corresponding rows and columns. Tables are highly customizable and are useful for a variety of tasks, from presenting numerical data to creating unique text layouts. As just one example, you could create a table showing course assignments and their respective due dates. In a table like this, course names could be placed in the far left column, and due dates could go in the top row. Each cell would then represent a specific assignment due for a particular class on a given date.
The following graphic is an example of a basic table with three columns and four rows. The highlighted cell is just one of the 12 cells in the table.
Tables are virtually unlimited in both their size and their ability to be modified. You can create a table with just one cell, with two cells, even with 1000 cells or more. Table cells, rows, and columns can be added, deleted, split, and merged at any time. Once a table has been created, you can insert anything into a cell that you could in a normal document (e.g., text, images, or another table) and then format it with any of Word's tools.
This introductory document contains information on the following:
When creating a table, some preliminary planning reduces the amount of time needed later to make the table look right. Sometimes even a simple sketch of one or two lines of the table can save a great deal of time. Once you know what you want the finished table to look like, you can begin creating it by dragging out the table with your mouse, with the Insert Table feature, or by using the Draw Table option. For information on creating Quick Tables, refer to Inserting a Quick Table.
Place the insertion point where you want the table to appear
From the toolbar, click TABLES
The Table sub-menu appears.
Select the appropriate dimensions by dragging your mouse in the table grid
An empty table appears on your screen and you are ready to begin adding information.
To select columns, drag across; to select rows, drag down.
Your table will appear with borders; to modify or remove the borders, refer to Tables: Adding Borders and Shading.
Place the insertion point where you want the table to appear
On the Command bar, from the Table pull-down menu, select Insert » Table...
The Insert Table dialog box appears.
Under Table size, type a value or use the nudge buttons to specify the number of columns and rows
To specify column width, under AutoFit behavior, select Fixed column width and type a value or use the nudge buttons to specify the desired size
To allow the table to expand as you type, under AutoFit behavior, select AutoFit to contents
To allow the table to expand or shrink depending on the size of the window it is displayed in, under AutoFit behavior, select AutoFit to window
To create the table, click OK
An empty table appears on your screen, and you are ready to begin adding information.
NOTE: Your table will appear with borders; to modify or remove the borders, refer to Tables: Adding Borders and Shading.
You can also draw a table into your document by selecting Word's Draw Table feature. This option allows you to create a table with rows and columns in the desired positions.

Click TOOLBOX
The Formatting Palette appears.
Expand the Table tools
Click ERASER
The pointer turns into an eraser.
Click the eraser on the mistake
The selected line(s) disappears.
NOTE: Some lines may remain in gray even after having been erased; while gray lines do not appear in the printed document, they restrict where text can be typed. To completely remove gray lines, you may have to erase some of the lines they are connected to and re-draw the area according to your needs.
You can add any text or objects to table cells that you could add to the document outside the table. To place information in separate cells, however, you will need to move your insertion point from cell to cell in the table. To move from one cell to another, use one of the following methods:

Universities Minister gets insight into Cyber opportunities
Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts was given an insight into the growing number of job opportunities for cyber experts when he visited the Lockheed Martin UK Security Intelligence Centre (SIC) at Farnborough.
The SIC is part of a worldwide network of Lockheed Martin offices staffed with cyber experts, who defend the security and aerospace company's IT networks against attacks.
Lockheed Martin is ranked as one of the most targeted private companies in the world for cyber attacks and the Farnborough centre, opened in late 2011, works closely with two similar centres in the United States to monitor and stave off multiple daily threats.
Lockheed Martin also supports the UK Government in its cyber security work and the upsurge in demand for experts has led to major on-going recruitment campaigns for trainees.
Mr Willetts commented: "Cyber attacks pose a significant threat to UK businesses and the Government is committed to making the online environment as safe as possible. But this also provides excellent growth opportunities for the UK's cyber security industry through the development of leading edge software and technology, which I had the chance to see first hand at Lockheed Martin today."
Paul Weatherly, managing director of Lockheed Martin UK Information Systems and Global Solutions, added: "Cyber is a major growth area and, as one of the leaders in providing security solutions for our own networks and external customers, there are a considerable number of opportunities for those wishing to join this exciting sector."
Besides visiting the SIC, Mr Willets also toured the Lockheed Martin UK Innovation and Technology Centre at the Farnborough facility, where experts are working on bespoke solutions for defence and civil customers by developing a wide range of software systems.

I like to read chapter books to the kids in addition to picture books because I think it helps their concentration to pay attention to a longer story, and because they seem to enjoy the added detail and drama of a more in-depth tale. I generally read one chapter per day although sometimes I can be persuaded to read more. One of the books we read this month was Natalie Savage Carson's Newberry Honor Award winning book The Family Under the Bridge.
The book tells the story of a homeless man in Paris who accidentally becomes attached to a homeless family of three children when they all find themselves sleeping under the same bridge. I know, you're thinking, "whoa, you're reading to your preschoolers about homeless kids????" but the story is very upbeat and is all about the hope and ingenuity of this unlikely group as they learn that what is really important around Christmas time is family and friendship.
We enjoyed this book and the great illustrations by Garth Williams (who also illustrated the Little House books and others). If you're looking for something to read to your kids these last few days before Christmas, I'd recommend The Family Under the Bridge!

Players Rally to Pearce's Support
Trevor Sinclair has come to the support of under-fire manager Stuart Pearce and has urged the rest of the players to ease the pressure on Psycho with some better performances, starting tomorrow against West Ham.
Quashing rumours that Psycho has lost the dressing room, Sinclair went on to say:
'There is no loss of faith in what the manager is doing. He works tirelessly on all aspects of our game and is trying to take pressure off the players, as all good managers do.
After the Chesterfield defeat, he said the blame lies with him. We all know that is not the case. As players, we have to respond. After a result like that, people will be looking at us.
We have to shut them up, shed the sweat and produce a performance of grit which will prove we are 100 percent behind the manager, fighting in his corner for the benefit of Manchester City.'
That's fighting talk from Sinclair and will be very welcome by Pearce, but it's one thing talking the talk, it's now up to the players to walk the walk against an equally under pressure West Ham, whose recent Argentinian signings seem to have upset what looked like a very tight-knit and happy ship. The Hammers need a victory just as much as City do and the game is likely to be an extremely tense affair.
Perhaps the best indication of City fans strength of feeling about the current situation was summed up by my visit to the local barbers today. It's normally bedecked in City photos and memorabilia, but all was missing today in utter frustration and despondency with recent events and amidst newspaper rumours linking Glenn Hoddle as a potential replacement for Pearce.
It was the view of the guys in the shop that if that were to happen it would be the final straw and there would be mass defections to other local teams such as Macc Town, Altrincham and Stockport - I wouldn't quite go that far.....yet, but the Board should take note !

Taft's fab five guards
Published 7:42 pm, Thursday, March 10, 2011
Taft's too small. The Raiders don't look like basketball players. They can't hang with bigger teams.
Guard Marshall Harris III always hears those comments about Taft's four-guard starting lineup, and draws plenty of motivation from it.
"We're bumble bees," Harris said. "Bees shouldn't be able to fly, because its wings are too small. But the bee doesn't know it, so it flies anyway."
With four starting seniors between 5-foot-11 and 6-1, Taft has knocked out a slew of bigger opponents to reach the Class 5A state tournament. The Raiders (34-5) face Garland Lakeview Centennial (36-1) at 8:30 tonight at the Erwin Center in Austin.
Coach Joey Tate switched to the four-guard lineup at the beginning of last season, and Taft hasn't changed the rotation since. The continuity has paid off, as the Raiders had all five starters return from last season.
The guards use quickness and patience on offense to either get past bigger players or move the ball enough to wear out opponents.

Defensively, Taft puts extra pressure on opponents' ball-handlers so they can't throw the ball inside. Dylan Elias often defends the best guard while 6-0 Carlos Gutierrez handles forwards who are up to 8 inches taller.
"I actually have the advantage," Gutierrez said. "I'm used to defending them, and they don't know what to do about me."
Forwards Haleem Moultrie (6-4) and Ryan O'Hara (6-5) also have to stand their ground, because they represent the entirety of Taft's inside game.
So far, Harris' bee analogy has been proven correct. But where did it come from?
"One of my teachers told me the bee thing, and Marshall really liked it," Elias said. "I think they got it from Mary Kay. You know, the women's stuff."
That's Taft basketball. Finding motivation, regardless of its origin.
Taft enters the state tournament with five leading scorers who are all senior guards:
The leader: Marshall Harris III
Height: 6-0
Stats: 7.8 ppg, 5.9 apg
Rundown: Harris' biggest flaw? He's too much of a team player. When he wasn't taking open shots because he was trying to make the extra pass in February, coach Joey Tate threatened to bench him. "We talk so much about the team being bigger than the individuals that I went too far with it," Harris said. Taft players said Harris' unselfish mentality drives the team, and his game-winning buzzer-beater in the third round against Clark last week proved he isn't afraid to shoot.
The finisher: Deondre Logan
Height: 6-1
Stats: 14.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg
Rundown: Logan asked the question when he first saw Taft's lineup. "What are we going to do about a big man?" he said. "I wondered that. But you don't doubt the Joey Tate master plan." The Taft system requires Logan to play bigger than his 6-1 frame, and he's often facing bigger forwards. He sees it as a benefit, because he can be more aggressive and draw fouls. In the Region IV-5A final, a 46-40 victory against MacArthur, Logan made 10 of 15 from the free-throw line.
The elder: Dylan Elias
Height: 5-11
Stats: 11.2 ppg, 39 percent on 3-pointers
Rundown: A four-year starter, Elias is the Raiders' second-leading scorer all time with 1,515 career points, 44 behind Mike Grimes. Elias, who signed with Northern Colorado, easily could hold the record if he didn't accept a diminished role with the emergence of Harris and Logan. He moved from point guard to shooting guard before his junior year.
"Honestly, I struggled when I switched to shooting guard," Elias said. "I was used to having the ball in my hands. It was what the team needed, though, and it's made me a better all-around player."
The instigator: Carlos Gutierrez
Height: 6-0
Stats: 7.5 ppg, 3.2 spg
Rundown: A pesky defender and intense competitor, Gutierrez's teammates call him "Car-nobili" for his Manu-like way of igniting a team. He holds Taft's career steals record with 294, getting many of them with a reckless disregard for his body. During the regional tournament, he leapt over the scorer's table after trying to intercept a pass. "People tell me they hate to play me but would love to have me on their team," he said.
The sniper: Josh Linson
Height: 6-0
Stats: 6.9 ppg, 66 of 166 on 3-pointers (40 percent)
Rundown: Linson may be a senior, but Taft's sixth man still looks considerably younger than his teammates. Which he says makes it all the more enjoyable when he starts launching long-range shots, including two games this season in which he hit six 3-pointers in a row. "I can't go to a movie without getting my ID triple-checked," Linson said. "So you know other teams underestimate us when they see us." Taft struggled from long range in the regional tournament, making 2 of 13 from behind the arc in two games. If the Raiders hope to shock some teams at the state tournament, they'll need Linson on target.

Reza Keshavarzi has developed an environmentally friendly way to wash a car.
"We've developed a waterless technology which allows us to wash cars anywhere, anytime. We started off with a product and we turned it into an online tech platform which allows to make this product accessible."
The business, WipeHero, is like an Uber for carwashing.
"So instead of you wasting your time and our precious water resources, with a press of a button we'll send someone to your house, work office or wherever you are and get it washed on the spot."
The business was self-funded, with a little help from the bank, and is less than a year old.
It has just won a $100,000 grant from the New South Wales government to assist with research and development and marketing.
WipeHero co-founder Farid Mirmohseni told SBS the building partnership grant he received supports potential high-growth, job- creating businesses.
"It was for start-ups that had an IP attached to the startup, enabling them to accelerate that growth, and mainly for start-ups that were creating a lot of jobs," he said.
"One of the components for our business is a lot of contractors which we use."
Mr Mirmohseni said winning the grant took time and a number of interviews, but accessing information about it was straight forward.
"We went through a program called Incubate which is a start-up accelerator at Sydney University, and through that program we got exposed to different options we could apply to for government grants."
An exclusive survey conducted by Sensis for SBS found only 28 percent of small business owners think that it's easy to find information on government grants and incentives.
It found 39 percent of owners find it hard, while one-third aren't sure.
Tim Cotter, regional manager at AusIndustry, said the government has been working to make access to information easier.
"Over the last few years in particular, the government has made an effort to have all the information on grants at both the federal and state level available in the one location. So business.gov.au is now a one stop shop for all the information on grants and assistance that's available.
He said that assistance is also available in-language.
"We do have a really easy and quick link at the bottom of the website which enables you to change it into your local language which then gives information one translation services which are available."
An instant chat facility is also available.

Factors are numbers that divide evenly in a number. The greatest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest number that can divide evenly into each of the numbers. Here, you will learn how to find factors and greatest common factors.

You will want to know how to factor numbers when you are trying to simplify fractions.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 1-2 Hours

Here's How:

 Factors of the number 12
You can evenly divide 12 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
Therefore, we can say that 1,2,3,4,6 and 12 are factors of 12.
We can also say that the greatest or largest factor of 12 is 12.

 Factors of 12 and 6
You can evenly divide 12 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
You can evenly divide 6 by 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Now look at both sets of numbers. What is the largest factor of both numbers?
6 is the largest or greatest factor for 12 and 6.

 Factors of 8 and 32
You can evenly divide 8 by 1, 2, 4 and 8.
You can evenly divide 32 by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.
Therefore the largest common factor of both numbers is 8.

 Multiplying Common PRIME Factors
This is another method to find the greatest common factor. Let's take 8 and 32.
The prime factors of 8 are 1 x 2 x 2 x 2.
Notice that the prime factors of 32 are 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2.
If we multiply the common prime factors of 8 and 32, we get:
1 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 which becomes the greatest common factor.

 Both methods will help you determine the greatest common factors (GFCs). However, you will need to decide which method you prefer to work with. I have discovered that most of my students prefer the first method. However, if they're not getting it that way, be sure to show them the alternative method.

 Manipulatives
I always encourage the use of 'hands on' when teaching factors. Use coins or buttons for this concept. Let's say you're trying to find factors of 24. Ask the child to divide the 24 buttons/coins into 2 piles. The child will discover that 12 is a factor. Ask the child how many ways they can evenly divide the coins. Soon they will discover that they can stack the coins into groups of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12. Always use manipulatives to prove the concept.

Ready for the worksheets? Try these.

Tips:

Be sure to use coins, buttons, cubes etc. to prove how finding factors works. It's much easier to learn concretely than abstractly. Once the concept is grasped in a concrete format, it will be much more easily understood abstractly.

This concept requires some ongoing practice. Provide a few sessions with it.

What You Need:

Manipulatives: Coins, buttons, hard beans etc.

Pencils and paper.

Calculator - not really preferred.

I ain't got no body, calendar and mood boards
10 weeks (last two weeks of the semester are reserved for finishing, dealing with lose ends and unexpected problems, making the documentation website, and preparing the piece for the show)
week 1(by Feb 9) Have Reliable Xbee communication between website and "body" the last run failed after the first few commands were sent. Determine what kind of interaction design should occur between user and body
week 2(by Feb 16) Design and start amassing parts for "body", should it be able to walk, should it be modular, a space, I don't know
week 3(by Feb 23) Make trial run (maybe send it to canada and use it to play with sister, or give it to Ben)
week 4(by March 2)revisions/reiteration
week 5(by March 9) one more exchange/test
week 6(by March 16) time to order new/more parts if necessary, change control interface if necessary
week 7(by March 23)next test
week 8(by March 30)recap, re-assesment
week 9(by April 6)build up the project again
week 10(by April 13)document/source code
(my dates don't seem to coincide with the academic calendar, I don't care enough to fix them, earlier is better)
The three projects that I feel are successful that are related to mine are the first three slides.
The first slide is a scene from the movie "surrogates" which while being a product of the holywood machine, does have it's successes. I particularly liked one part in the movie when the antagonist went clubbing in the body of a 20 year old british pop star looking body and met a woman, who was kindof a typical holywood blonde. They liberally flung themselves (or maybe just one of them did), off the side of a building to no harm. They turned into an alley way, and right before the fateful moment of coitus, they were murdered. The young man turned out to be a wheel chair bound decrepit, and the blonde was a clinically overweight man.
It was nice in that the characters were engaging each other as androids and also as the characters in human society that they were representing. Of course the scene was super successful because it was actually played by a sultry hollywood blonde and a young man that looks like a british pop star. Which is further amusing on account of all the recursion, us dealing with actors in the first place and so on.
The second slide is of Golan Levin's Opto Isolator and Double Take. These robots are following an algorithm that dictates their actions, but they have incredible personality and character. Even of they were commandeered by any stranger they would still be very much driven by the nature of their bodies. And that is one of the aspects of this project that is driving me most, the desire to experience, no matter how remotely, existence in another body,
Next is Adrianne Wortzel's Kiru from Camouflage Town. Her work centers around robotics and theater. This makes it particularly interesting in that she works on developing specific characters. People from the internet could control Kiru and engage with visitors in the museum, but only through his voice, and body.
The rest of the images are aesthetic inspiration, not conceptual. Although the lunahods and astronaughts whose bodies are monitored down to the heartbeat and sent out into space on behalf of humanity, are quite poignant. The ones on the bottom with men in bug like masks is also an art project, but I don't remember it's name, if you do, please write to yud dot sofy at gmail dot com.
I ain't got no body, continued
I ain't got no body, continued
How can this be done with love?
The body implemented would be specific in it's composition, a character by virtue of it's body, the way a cat is by default different from a snail. But the structure underneath it would be modular and multi purpose. Hopefully allowing me to continue on a path of development for a long run to come.
What: One or more "bodies" to jack into from the net, a net, etc. Possibly even, (and this has always been a fantasy of mine) a space. What does it mean about our experience of the world if our body is mapped to a space?
When: First Plateau: Develop protocol and plan for documentation etc.
Why: I always wondered what it would be like to be a carp, so flat and smooth, on the bottom of the sea floor. How do we map a carp's body to that of a human?
Because I feel empty and I want to look at everything in such depth that maybe I will finally prove or disprove the reality of anything that I perceive. At least for the benefit of my own peace of mind, if nothing else.
To exacerbate the abyss of the other, push to the limit any indication that they really exist. Trying to mediate life with a mechanical process. Trying to mechanize deconstruct and decontextualize everything.
Who: Anyone with internet, should it be p2p? All access all the time, peep show 2.0 or something more specific you have to make an appointment for etc?
How: Serially enabled devices can be controlled from the internet, we will see which ones and how after some market research and analysis.
I am proposing to develop an open interface for telepresence, with some kind of modular infrastructure. Perhaps it will take the form of something like the chat roulette but with physically present "bodies". Its related to teledildonics too, and all the beautiful notions of the passion where you give your body over to the process, except that process is embodied by other people, close ones, strangers.
I accept all assignments!
My own perceived strengths:
Some modicum of craftsmanship, some ability to make things work and bring them to a close if not a polish when push comes to shove, can organize workflow, know my limits
Poor language and communication abilities, laziness, don't know my limits
I ain't got no body
Open this page if you have a body around.
Open this page if you want to control a body.
The Body:
How it works:
You control the body by pushing buttons from the control page.
It writes the commands to a text file.
The local page polls the file and writes the commands to the puppet.
The audio and visual is transmitted through skype.
Who doesn't want telepresence? And if you can have any body, why not have a 360 degree moving racecar body with pimped out led wheels?

tl;dr -> Get Started at http://www.jumpsquares.net/
I've been working on this project for about 1.5 months and I'm very happy that I can finally share it.
So... what is a JumpSquare? Let's start off with Why...
We've all been there before:
- You start a new job and have no idea where anything is located
- A contractor comes on site and you have to point them to every application
- You are constantly sending emails asking where an application has been installed because you never bookmarked it
- You have a very large datacenter environment and can't remember all the virtualization, storage, and network addresses
- There may be 100+ different applications in your environment and you want to keep track of what's out there.
- Maintaining excel documents or sharepoint sites suck
- Browser bookmarks can be messy if you have a lot of them
The idea spawned because I had trouble keeping track of 6 VMware environments in our lab. Within those 6 environments, there were 100+ applications consisting of multiple vSphere Web Clients, vCOPs, vClouds, physical assets like switches and arrays. Bookmarks would have been messy and I got tired of sending emails trying to figure out what servers hosted which applications. I got a non-persistent desktop to access the lab environment so bookmarks didn't stick (don't ask why they can't figure that out), plus those bookmarks are only personalized for me. So if someone goes and installs vCOPs for POD3, I have to go to the web client, open it up, search for the IP address, then try and guess to see if i can remember the port or slew of /'s to find the login page. There had to be a better way.
Introducing the JumpSquare (an image)
Take a quick tour and watch the video
The JumpSquare contains some great information. We have the title of our application (whatever you want to call it), choose an image logo from over 250+ images in the catalog, specify the server or location where the application is installed, and the ability to remove or edit the JumpSquare. What you don't see is the link to the application that can be either http(s):// or ssh:// and a description. Hover over the JumpSquare and the information populates so you can see it (above is a picture, see the animated SaaS version at http://www.jumpsquares.net).
There will be three different versions of JumpSquares because security folks never trust anything:
- "SaaS" version. Go to http://www.jumpsquares.net and get registered to get going. I would encourage SaaS first.
- "Authentication" version: (download at bottom) is pretty much exactly like this hosted version. It gives you the ability to create users, give "admin" rights to users for Application Logo Type creation as well as many other privileges. There will be a bit more work for you to deploy this internally to setup proper email alerts.
- "Wiki" version: removes authentication from the application. My original intention for this program was to create a mix between Pinterest and a Wiki. Essentially creating a landing page where anyone can create, edit, update, and delete JumpSquares. This allows a team to use it instead of just one individual.
- The appliances will have 250+ AppType Logos included, but will allow you to create your own.
- The appliances will not have a "Software Update" feature. You will have to run a bit of git/ruby code to update the application if I ever add additional features. Doing a git -HARD might jack some of your data, so I do not take any responsibility if you do screw something up.
- I take no responsibility in keeping the Debian (OS) appliance up to date with security patches. You're on your own
- As a final note, I do not take any responsibility for anything you post on JumpSquares
- Built on twitter bootstrap for rails so it's pretty much mobile-ready
- Create, Edit, and Delete all your own JumpSquares
- Jump locations (links) can be internal or external addresses. Your internal DNS server will do the name resolution
- Jump locations can be http://, https://, or even ssh:// when using the FireSSH plugin
- Customize the JumpSquare size to your liking. Change the image size as well as the character count to fit more or less JumpSquares on the screen
- Create your own Tags and assign multiple tags per JumpSquare
- Tags create an easy way categorize JumpSquares
- The hosted version doesn't allow you to upload your own Application Logos, but you can request one with a form after registering
- View and Edit open Application Logo Type requests
- Manage your own account. Deleting your account will erase all your data
- All registered user passwords are stored in an encrypted and hashed format
- The administrator dashboard can't view another users JumpSquares', only the count of how many you have created. Gotta keep that private
- No "team" features are built-in. Just share a common username between a few individuals so you can act like it's a 'Wiki'
The Appliance versions
Again, I encourage you to go for the SaaS version at http://www.jumpsquares.net and try that first because rolling your own is something else you have to keep track of.
The VM is a simple 1vCPU 1GB/RAM OVA that has VMware Tools and ruby on rails installed. The web services are configured using thin and nginx.
Deploy the OVA into your environment and by default its configured with the hostname "jumpsquares" and DHCP for the NIC.
You can leave it or change it. If you want to change it, I created a bash script located in the /home/ directory called changemyhostname.sh and you can edit that and run it to change all the parameters of the hostname. username: root, password: jump123
Wiki Version: nothing else to do but download it. Enjoy!
This version is 1.3. Check the change log below to see if there is a newer version that can be updated using the directions.
Authentication Version: there is a bit more work to do in terms of settings up ActionMailer. I will get an authenticated version made soon that looks like the SaaS based version. It's not available yet because I need to document everything that must be done to get this version working correctly. NOT AVAILABLE.
all downloads of the appliance are released under the Apache 2.0 license. The code is open sourced and available at the github repository. The operating system is based on debian and all updates are applied from the debian repository. I am not redistributing anything that isn't publicly available.
How to Update JumpSquares to the latest version
SaaS at http://www.jumpsquares.net:
- Nothing to do, this all done at my expense
Wiki Appliance Version:
- SSH or console into the jumpsquares appliance
- default username is 'root' and password is 'jump123'
- Change to the var/www/jumpsquares directory
- cd /var/www/jumpsquares
- Do a git pull to bring down the latest changes from the repository
- git pull
- If you get an message talking about Gemfile.lock and needing to stash it, run this command
- git stash
- after stashing locally, run git pull again and it should pull everything down correctly.
- Assuming you don't have any localized code changes, there will be no need to reset the 'head'
- We need to keep the gems up to date
- bundle install
- bundle update
- Most new features are going to require some type of database additions so we need to make those changes
- rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=appliance-production
- Now you have the most up to date version of JumpSquares. You can reboot if you want but it's not necessary.
screenshots of the upgrade process
If you are upgrading from a previous version to 1.3 (you downloaded the appliance before 7/28/2014), then you need to follow these additional steps below
- Perform the above git stash, git pull, bundle install, bundle update, and rake tasks within the /var/www/jumpsquares directory
- Pre-Compile the assets by typing:
- RAILS_ENV=appliance-production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
- We have to add a value for the Jumpsize sort order. Open the Rails Console and update the attribute by typing the following
- rails console appliance-production
- (you will now be in the rails console)
- u = Jumpsize.find(1)
- u.update_attribute :sortorder, "name"
- exit
- (you will be back in the normal window)
- Reboot your VM by typing reboot
- Everything should be good once again

By Maureen Salamon
Oxytocin's ability to foster calm and secure feelings is apparently a perfect start to a satisfying roll in the hay.
The hormone's role in sexual arousal has been the subject of research for at least the last quarter-century. A 1987 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism used a novel set-up to measure blood plasma levels of oxytocin before, during and after sexual stimulation in both men and women.
With intravenous catheters providing a continuous sample of blood, nine men and 13 women were also rigged with devices that measured blood flow and muscle activity in their lower pelvis during self-stimulation to orgasm. The research showed that blood plasma levels rose during arousal in both genders and were significantly higher during orgasm than during prior baseline testing.
This finding has been supported by others. According to The Institute for Sexual Medicine, several studies have indicated that blood plasma levels of oxytocin increase at orgasm and stay significantly higher than baseline even five minutes after self-arousal ends.
Another study reported oxytocin levels jump in women during stimulation of their nipples, genital area and genital tract, according to the institute, which noted that the hormone's influence on muscle contractions may facilitate sperm and egg movement toward fertilization.
And a cocktail of brain chemicals that includes oxytocin is released in men during ejaculation, according to Scienceline, a project of New York University's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program. These chemicals can intensify bonding between sexual partners.
As with much research, animals have also been the subject of studies on oxytocin's sexual effects. In a 2001 study in the journal Physiological Review, spontaneous erections in rats was reported after oxytocin was injected into their cerebrospinal fluid.
Some researchers, however, feel the jury is still out on oxytocin's impact on sex.
"The human literature is a little scant," says Dr. Kai MacDonald, an adjunct professor of psychiatry at University of California-San Diego. "I know of no studies giving people oxytocin and they get more randy. They've shot it up the nose of hundreds of people, and I don't think most of them got raging erections or longed for their partner more."
But MacDonald acknowledges that research has provided "some tantalizing tidbits" of information that may someday lead to oxytocin-based therapies for sexual disorders.

Experimental Physics and
This is really a follow-up to the 2002 thread on PowerPC caching: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2002/msg00417.php At Diamond we use the mvme5500. It seems that every vxWorks driver we have will fall over at some point unless we are careful with memory caching. Very few EPICS drivers do this properly. However, on the mvme5500 if we precede every read with a cacheInvalidate and follow every write routine with a cacheFlush we don't seem to have any problems. We have rapidly come to the conclusion that we need to have a set of routines in devLib to handle register accesses. The two models we am aware of is the Linux memory barrier routines, and vxWorks cacheLib routines. I don't know about RTEMS or Windows. The Linux routines are simpler than the vxWorks ones, but if we adopted that model we could only implement it in vxWorks with asm directives since the Linux calls are incompatible with cacheLib. At the same time I suggest we should handle big/little endian issues as well as caching. The routines of course know whether the processor CPU is big or little endian, but they need to be told about the endian-ness of the card they are reading or writing to. So I suggest, as a minimum: devGetBigEndianRegisters( volatile void * from, void * to, size_t nobj, size_t size ); devSetBigEndianRegisters( void * from, volatile void * to, size_t nobj, size_t size ); devGetLittleEndianRegisters( volatile void * from, void * to, size_t nobj, size_t size ); devSetLittleEndianRegisters( void * from, volatile void * to, size_t nobj, size_t size ); The get routines would call cacheInvalidate on vxWorks or rmb on Linux and then read the data as nobj chunks of the given size. They would byteswap if necessary. The set routines would byteswap, write and then call cacheFlush on vxWorks or wmb on Linux. If the cacheLib routines don't appear to work on vxWorks for a particular architecture, then a read of the last data element written might be added for that architecture (as outlined in the above thread). What do people think? Is this the right interface or are there other suggestions? I am prepared to do this for Linux and VxWorks, but I don't have access to the other architectures. Would others be willing to take this up? Cheers, Nick Rees Principal Software Engineer Phone: +44 (0)1235-778430 Diamond Light Source Fax: +44 (0)1235-446713

Maryland Avoids Late Comeback to Upset California, 35-27September 13, 2008
California has been incredible thus far offensively. They have averaged 52 points a game and have almost 1,000 net yards already. They beat down Washington State last week, 66-3, are 23rd in the nation and have a 2-0 record.
Maryland has stalled offensively and is pretty thin defensively. So far, Da'Rel Scott has been their only bright spot. They have averaged 14 points a game and lost to Middle Tennessee State last week.
Not good, considering they are coming back home to face a team with two amazing running backs in Jahvid Best and Shane Vereen.
Maryland came prepared, though.
California started off with the ball and looked explosive. Running back Jahvid Best (fifth in the nation in rushing) ran off left tackle for over 30 yards.
However, the Golden Bears got penalized and the run was nullified. The next play, quarterback Kevin Riley created two firsts. He got sacked for the first time and Maryland got a sack for the first time.
It was the first of many hits Riley took.
Maryland didn't waste time on the ensuing possession. Chris Turner got a nice completion for nine yards to Rob Gronkowski, Da'Rel Scott had runs of six and 14 yards. Lastly, Da'Rel Scott punched it in for 24 yards and a Maryland touchdown.
Everyone in the stadium expected Cal to respond and score a touchdown. They were wrong.
After Jahvid Best got a loss of two, Kevin Riley threw his first interception in three games. It was right to safety Terrell Skinner, who returned it 17 yards to the California 14-yard line.
Now everyone expected Maryland to score. They were right. Darrius Heyward Bey picked up a first down and Da'Rel Scott ended up punching it in from one yard out for his second touchdown in six minutes.
California responded the next drive, driving all the way to the Maryland 12-yard line and booting a field goal.
Maryland would score again on a one-yard touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski. On the play, Maryland killed five minutes of play clock. On the drive, quarterback Chris Turner was 8-for-10 with 55 yards and the touchdown.
California again choked in the red zone and was forced to kick the field goal, making it just 21-6. It looked as if Maryland would trade sevens for threes in the game.
At the end of the half, California had the ball on the Maryland 8. California again choked under pressure, getting inside the Maryland 10 and then throwing two incompletions. The field goal from only 25 yards was missed! It was 21-6 Terps at the half.
My friend, there would be much more scoring.
Maryland got the ball first in the second half, but had a very unsuccessful drive. After Da'Rel Scott had two runs of no gain, he caught a pass-and fumbled! Cal picked it up, but also had a very unsuccessful drive. Jahvid Best and Kevin Riley had runs of two and three yards. Riley then threw an incomplete pass and was dropped for a loss on a QB sneak to force a turnover on downs.
Maryland would take advantage of perhaps a foolish decision to go for it with plenty of time to come back in the game. Maryland took 4:23 off the clock and capped an incredible drive with a 28 yard touchdown strike to star receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Headed into the fourth, it was 28-6 Maryland, the upset of the day. And the Terps were beating them on both sides of the ball.
Cal would not go down without a fight. On a 17-play drive, Kevin Riley tossed his first touchdown, a 10-yard strike to his tight end, making it a bit more reachable, at 28-13.
Cal then made a foolish decision. They decided to do an onside kick: with seven minutes left in the ballgame. Davin Meggett made them pay. He had a run of 38 and a run of one yard. The run of one yard was a touchdown, making it 35-13 Terps. That TD would loom large.
Riley threw another touchdown pass the following drive, making it 35-20. Cal would be forced to do another onside kick, which was also recovered by Maryland. The Terps would march to the Golden Bears 10. It was fourth-and-four.
So, Obi Egekeze would be forced to boot a field goal. If you're a Terps fan, at this moment, you're mad. Egekeze has been one of the worst kickers for Maryland, perhaps even worse than Dan Ennis. He kicked a 27-yard field goal. Yes, he kicked it. However, he missed it by about 904 feet.
Cal responded quickly with another TD, making it 35-27. Now, it was a one-possesion game. Cal did another onside kick.
Here is where Danny Oquendo made the play of the game. This onside kick was a pretty good one, not a bouncer right at someone. It was a floater. Oquendo batted it out of bounds, giving Maryland the ball. QB Chris Turner kneeled it twice, and the Terrapins won, 35-27.
Top performers
QB Chris Turner (MD): 15-19, 156 yards, 2 TD

Today is the very last day at the office. I have no settled plan, no settled job, no settled income. But I have a feeling. That warm fuzzy feeling that everything is going to be okay. That I'm doing the right thing and that things will simply work out. They might be hard, they might be very hard, but they will be okay. That's what my heart and soul keep telling me.
And so, today is my last day at the office. I have one last project to wrap up, one last chart to update, and one last status document to make sure is in order. One last lunch with my fellow contractors, one last group check-in, one last personal check-in with my boss. And then I will pack up my Trader Joe's bag with all of my pens and sticky notes, my mouse pads and water bottles. I will wipe my computer clean and I will walk to my car from this office for the last time.
I feel immense joy, and fear and panic, but mostly joy. Bring on the freelance work and the odd jobs. The time with my boy and my growing babies. The time to properly clean my house and plant my garden. And hopefully pay the bills somewhere in there too.
I was originally toying with the idea of becoming a nanny again. For a small family with maybe two kids. I could have still fit two kids in my Camry, that is until we found out about the twins. Now? Now I'm seriously rethinking this idea. I still love kids, I still want to help them learn and grow, but I mostly want to just focus on my own children right now. And see how that goes.

When I originally heard about ReCycle, I thought that it was something like Beat Munging on the new Emu samplers but when I finally downloaded a copy, it wasn't near as full featured as I thought that it would be.
It would be really useful to someone with an Akai or something that doesn't have sample editing that's up to par. It wasn't as useful as I thought that it was but it could be useful for making your own breaks or something form older drum loops.

Soil Testing Helps Inform Application Decisions
Why soil test?
Soil testing is an important part of our philosophy at Calcium Products – without knowing the nutrient status of your soil, how are you to make informed decisions about what to apply to it?
Turf managers are normally good about soil testing, but if you haven't been consistent about it or have been thinking about starting a soil testing program, now is the time to do so. With environmental regulations being administered in certain areas of the U.S., soil testing will help you maximize your fertilizer investment and make educated decisions on the best type of fertilizers to supply exactly what you need.
What a soil test measures
There are a wide variety of soil tests available that can help you gain insight into your nutrient status, soil type/texture, infiltration rates, water holding capacity, etc.
A basic soil test is likely to provide you with the following measurements:
- - Soil pH
- - Cation exchange capacity (CEC)
- - Phosphorous
- - Potassium
- - Calcium
- - Magnesium
- - Lime requirement
Additional analyses that may be of interest depending on your location and situation might include:
- - Soil texture
- - Total soluble salts
- - Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR)
- - Sulfur
- - Micronutrients
Nitrogen testing is typically not included in all sampling regimens due to its instability, making interpretation of the value difficult.
How to get started
Checking in with your state extension specialist to see what they recommend with regard to appropriate testing methods and preferred laboratories in your area is the best way to ensure you are testing all the right things for your situation.
Finding a lab you are comfortable with and that is regionally appropriate for you is important to maintain consistency and to build a historical database on which to inform decisions. The lab you choose will also offer recommendations on what nutrient levels to supply to bring them back into sufficiency range. You may double check with your state extension specialist to see if the laboratory recommendations are aligned with what they normally recommend.

Tim Redding's late season renaissance continued, as he enjoyed his third consecutive solid outing. However, his enjoyment of the game was short-lived, as party pooper Brian Stokes gave up three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning for the second time in five games, including a bases loaded two-run pinch-hit single to former Yankee Jason Giambi. The latest Rockie Rally gave Colorado a 5-2 victory over the Mets Wednesday night in Denver.
Before the Mets came to the Mile High city, the Rockies were showing signs of wilting in the late summer heat. They had lost five straight games and visions of a Rocktober sequel appeared to be fading. Enter the perfect remedy for Colorado's case of defeat-itis: the Mets.
Ubaldo Jimenez took the mound for the Rockies, hoping to keep his team in the Wild Card lead after the Giants had won earlier in the day. Jimenez had just completed a brilliant month of August in which he went 5-1 with a 1.77 ERA. But the Mets wasted little time in putting together a run.
Angel Pagan led off the game with a double to deep center field. This was followed by a beautifully placed bunt single by Luis Castillo. Daniel Murphy then hit a sacrifice fly to left field and the Mets took the early lead on the Rockies.
Tim Redding was so unfamiliar working with an early lead that he gave it right back two batters into the game. After retiring Carlos Gonzalez to begin the first inning, Redding gave up a solo home run to Seth Smith. The blast tied the game at 1.
The game of "you score one, I score one" continued when the Rockies took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the third inning, only to have Jeff Francoeur tie the game in the top of the fourth inning with a home run to left field. It was his 12th home run of the season, surpassing his total for 2008, and his seventh home run for the Mets since being traded to New York from the Braves in July.
After the home run by Francoeur tied the game, the Mets were only able to manage one measly hit for the remainder of the game. Fortunately for them, Tim Redding was able to keep the Rockies off the scoreboard until he was taken out of the game with two outs in the seventh inning. It was his third consecutive good outing for the Mets. However, he only has one win to show for it, despite the 2.45 ERA and .197 batting average against him in 18.1 innings pitched. Tonight he held the Rockies to two runs on seven hits in his 6.2 innings of work. He also added six strikeouts and walked only one batter.
With the score still tied at 2 heading to the bottom of the eighth, Jerry Manuel brought in Brian Stokes to start the inning. It was Stokes who gave up the go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning to Alfonso Soriano last Friday in Chicago to turn a 2-2 tie into a 5-2 deficit. As Yogi Berra used to say, it was deja vu all over again.
Stokes started off well by getting Todd Helton to ground out to third base. However, the dreaded walk came back to haunt the Mets as Troy Tulowitzki drew a free pass from Stokes. This was followed by a double into the left field corner by Brad Hawpe. Ian Stewart was intentionally walked to load up the bases for Clint Barmes. However, it was not Barmes who stepped up to the plate for the Rockies, but recently acquired slugger Jason Giambi.
Giambi had left his Village People cover band in New York this past offseason when he reunited with his original band in Oakland. However, that reunion did not last long, as he was clearly not the same mustachioed marauder he used to be during his first stint with the band. Oakland released him and the Rockies signed him to be a spark off the bench. What a spark he provided tonight!
He lined the first pitch by Stokes over the outstretched glove of Anderson Hernandez into center field for a two-run single, giving the Rockies a 4-2 lead over the Mets. An RBI single by neglected stepchild Yorvit Torrealba added another run, giving the Rockies their final run in the 5-2 victory.
Although the Mets will not win a series for the tenth straight time (eight series losses, two splits dating back to their last series victory in late July over the Rockies), they can still avoid a sweep with a victory in tomorrow's afternoon affair. They were able to avoid the broom in each of their last two series by taking the finales against the Marlins and the Cubs, respectively.
Pat Misch will take the mound in the finale against the Rockies. He will be faced by 14-game winner Jason Marquis. Game time for the matinee will be at 3:10 PM.
Misch pitched well in his last start against the Cubs. He may not have a future as a starting pitcher for the Mets, but another solid performance could lead to renewed confidence and a role on next year's team. As long as he doesn't pitch like Brian Stokes pitched on Wednesday night, the Mets might be able to avoid the bristles of the Rockies' broom.
