Crop Rotation and Soil Sustainability -
Crop Rotation and Soil Sustainability Agriculture is responsible for providing food for an ever-growing population, and as it becomes clear that yields cannot continue to rise without limit, sustainability of agricultural practices becomes an increasingly important question. The soil is a precious resource in which all of agriculture has its base, and careful management of this complex system is essential. Crop rotation is one of the most important management practices in a sustainable agriculture system, both as a means of conserving soil and of maintaining its fertility....

|Mental Rotation Of Images - Abstract The idea of mental imagery has always been a controversial subject in the field of psychology. Many psychologists have argued that such a concept is impossible to measure because it can not be directly observed. Though they are right about this, it is not impossible to measure how quickly mental rotations of images are processed in our brains. Subjects in this experiment were presented two shapes simultaneously, via computer screen, and asked to make judgement, as quickly as possible, as to whether the two shapes presented were the same or mirror images....

Abstract In light of a number of high-profile corporate failures during the first half of 2001, a number of studies have been performed to address the impact of mandatory rotation of audit firms to ensure the appropriate level of 'independence' of auditors. Majority of studies conclude that the detrimental effects of firm rotation on the quality of the audit work by far outweigh its positive effects as a safeguard against various independence and quality threats. Frequent changes of audit firms, whether resulting from mandatory rotation or otherwise, introduce threats to independence and operational difficulties that make audit failure more likely....

Rotation of the letter "R" -
Rotation of the letter "R" Psychologists have been interested in the processes that go on in the mind for centuries. However, a new method for assessing the various processes emerged in the 1970's. Several researchers predicted that mental imagery was treated by the brain similarly to actions performed on physical objects. Thus, performance in tasks involving inspection, rotation, and comparison of mental images according to size should be similar to results obtained using actual objects. Kosslyn, Ball, and Reiser (1978) asked participants to scan a mental map after studying a map of an island with several landmarks.... [tags: Essays Papers]

U.S. Congressional Term Limits -
Turner 1 History tells us that America's founding fathers set forth to create a government that represented its people, with separation of powers within the government, and an election process by which the people would have a voice in that government. Term limits can restore the voice of the people in Congress, by ending the era of the "career" politician, and stop the abuse of power. The word incumbent is a noun. The online Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as: 1) the holder of an office, or ecclesiastical benefice, or 2) one that occupies a particular position or place.... [tags: U.S. Government ]

All About the ACL -
In November of 2010, I was playing basketball in the fifth game of my senior season. It was just like any other game. However, I would soon find out otherwise. It was late in the game; I drove into the lane and got fouled hard. I was knocked so off-balance that I speared the floor with my knee. As soon as my knee hit the floor I heard a "snap" that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Little did I know at the time, that would be the last shot of my high school basketball career. Not long after my injury, I consulted a doctor.... [tags: Medical Research]

Extrasolar Planets -
Humans have longed to believe in extrasolar planets, as surely there have to be planets elsewhere in the universe. Claims of supposedly discovered extrasolar planets can be dated back to 1855 when Captain S. W. Jacobs from the Madras observatory, claimed that he had discovered a planet orbiting a binary system (Jacobs 1855), all the way up until 1991 when a team of astronomers announced then retracted the alleged discovery of an extrasolar planet around a pulsar star (Lyne and Bailes 1992). Planets are extremely hard to detect as they are a very faint light source and the light from its parent star is much brighter and essentially blocks out light from a planet (Winters 1996)....

When a star's central reserve of hydrogen is depleted, the star begins to die.

The Physics of Boomerangs -
The Physics of Boomerangs The successful flight of a boomerang looks as though it never should happen. Its more or less circular flight path comes from the interaction of two physical phenomena: the aerodynamic lift of the arms of the boomerang and the spinning boomerang's maintenance of angular momentum. Briefly put, the airfoil at the boomerang's forward rotating edge provides more lift than its rearward rotating edge. This elevates one side of the boomerang. The spinning object maintains angular momentum by turning at a right angle to its axis of rotation.... [tags: Science Toys Essays]

Recent Tasting Notes
I haven't been on very much over this weekend due to a few family issues, nothing serious just a lot of negativity surrounding my husband. We were supposed to be decorating the house today for Christmas to start feeling the spirit but that hasn't happened. Since it's such a shame the house is the same and I'm watching Christmas episodes on tv I thought I may as well drink Christmassy.
I chose the right choice with this tea, I opened it up and took a sniff and smiled and closed my eyes in delight. It smells like creamy vanilla peppermint with a chocolate base. Delicious! My husband saw me sniffing and came to see what the fuss was about and even he said he wants one.
Tasting without milk/creamer or sweetener. Wow it's simply amazing! Just as it smells, smooth and refreshing peppermint with creamy and fresh. It tastes like a candy cane but with more layers, not just the peppermint. The chocolate is more in the fragrance than taste as is the black tea but it gives more depth in flavour without much of the flavour. It's so delicious!
This is just what I need right now. Christmas in a mug.
Girls night out in Scotland!
One of Della Terra's that came in a pretty red Christmas box!
I enjoy a good Maté, I like the malty characteristics of the roasted ones. After I opened it, I deeply inhaled as I always do, and went WOH-HO!!! This is bold! Strong smell of fermentation, malt and barley, very «boozy»!I was drawn to it cause I like the unusual, but to be honest, I was scared of how it would taste like! I brewed according to instructions, about 4 min. Expecting a slap on the face, I only got a very mild caress… I put the tea basket back in my cup, and I let it rest for another 2min. Still not enough. It ended up being steeped for a good 8 minutes. So next time, I take note to put a little more than
1 1/2 tsp. in my 8oz cup.
The taste was really good, like malty liquid black treacle, with notes of clove and a very smooth finish. I don't get much of them but the chocolate and coconut are probable what gives that sweet finish. As for the Rooibos, I wouldn't have known it was there at all and I don't mind since I don't care much for it, aside from a few exceptions.
As it cooled, I picked up whisky notes. I think this blend would be very interesting to experiment with during holiday season, I'm thinking cocktails for sure!
It didn't hold up for a second steep, I got pretty much all the flavor out of steep one. Maybe multiple infusions will be possible next time when I measure more tea to the cup.
But all in all, this is something I will have again for sure!
Now please skip this part if you have no interest for the story
Friday was girls night out… we went to this nice pub we heard of. We were told it was a nice lounge bar, good chill ambiance and good company.
So we got there with that in mind. We went inside, and…we stopped: what we saw was somewhat distracting. You know when the DJ makes that scratchy noise with the vinyl records? That's the sound my brain created in my head while trying to process what I was looking at…
There were LOTS of men in that pub, and they all seemed to have the same dress code: KILTS! Yes, ladies, brace yourselves, men in kilts! Turns out, Friday was a special night, some kind of Scottish men gathering. I must say that a kilt on a good looking dude has its charms :-)
We were offered beer immediately, some dark Scottish Ale of course. Now, beer and I are not best friends, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it was spicy, malty and woodsy, but very smooth and sweet tasting… which reminded me a lot of this maté!
Well it seems that Scotsmen live by one rule: «Cha deoch-slàint, i gun a tràghadh!» meaning «It's no health if the glass is not emptied» (one guy actually tried to make me pronounce it Gaelic style, and I told him please just put it in writing, so I really didn't know if it was accurate, but I checked and it seems to be!!!)
If they mean it for beer, well I mean it for tea!
Our night out wasn't what we had expected, but we had lots of fun, we even danced on traditional Scottish music!
When I got home, I wanted to spend some time with The Twilight Sad, a fairly unknown but amazing Band from Scotland. (I've been on a tunes and tea mood lately) Yes, at 3 in morning, I put on their record full blast (living in the woods has its perks). Mr Right got up: What the …???? Oops sorry! Forgot it wasn't boys night out! Yes, I am quite fun to live with apparently.
James, the signer has a haunting voice, here's a good example of that. Hope they get the recognition they deserve one day, in the mean time, they make great tea companions!
(P.S. I know the album cover is dark and disturbing but so is their work, call it artistic approach!)
Sounds like you had an awesome time! I certainly wouldn't mind seeing some good looking men in kilts!
SIPDOWN – reading about all the new chocolate vday teas from Della Terra made me want to drink up my last cup of this! Not as much chocolate in this cup I don't think, but still tastes very good! Now if I can sip down enough teas, maybe I will treat myself to some of the new blends from Della Terra. Hehe :) see previous notes on this tea!
This was the free sample I received from Della Terra Teas. Thank you!
The dry smell is incredibly chocolatey, exactly like After Eight mints :D as soon as I opened it, I was craving it all afternoon, so I made a cup tonight. It's a bit late for a black tea, but I couldn't resist after the intoxicating chocolate smell!
The wet leaves are not quite as chocolate, but the mint becomes more pronounced. I steeped for about 3 minutes with boiling water. The chocolate returned after steeping, and now the apartment smells like it haha. My boyfriend is not a fan of chocolate, so he is not overly pleased lol, but I made him a cup of green tea to counteract it a bit. I love it! It reminds me of dark cocoa on a ski hill!
As for the taste, the intial one was nice and minty, with a hint of dark chocolate. I decided to add some sugar (I never add sugar!) as I had read a few reviews that said that it brought out the chocolate. I agree that it did! It's now a malty dark chocolate brew with an excellent cooling mint taste. I might try steeping a little bit longer next time to see if I can bring out even more chocolatiness.
Overall, a pretty good chocolate tea. I might also try with a hint of milk to add some creaminess to it. Very happy I got to try this as a free sample :)
I also like this one a lot, smells divine! Makes it a good Christmas tea! I'm loving pretty much everything I'm trying from Della Terra so far…
I just ordered more of this, to take advantage of the sale and satisfy my craving. I just love this! As it brews, you're treated to a wonderful caramel marshmallow aroma – and it tastes just as good as it smells. Love the little sprinkles (of course) and the gold pearls (also, of course). I left this steeping longer than I would've normally as I got called away, but when I returned this still tasted awesome.
Awesomeness, that sums up Della Terra Teas! :)
The second tea I've tried from Della Terra Teas. Again I love marshmallow and sprinkles, so of course I would love this.
As it's brewing, OMG – it makes my knees weak!
The taste is amazing too – marshmallow-y and total happy. The sugar sprinkles are a nice touch too (of course). Not sure if I like this more than the Cinnamon Crackle but it's definitely HAPPY!
Azzrian Thanks!
This one is pretty tasty! I like that it has black tea AND rooibos! The blueberry is plump and juicy and real. There is just that little bit of cream or vanilla flavor that makes you realize it's more than just Blueberry! It's fruity yet smooth! The very best part, for me, is NO HIBISCUS! YAY!
DAVIDsTEA has the Blueberry Jam blend that is hibiscus free and really delicious as well. I personally haven't had a blueberry with hibiscus but from the tea's I have had with it I don't think it would really fit well.
Hello one of my faves, Miss Cinna Crackle! I really do enjoy this tea and hope it returns in the fall. In the meantime, I think I might need to stock up… and it's my bday next week so I should treat myself anyway!
This really is an Aries tea too – spicy and feisty!
Please see other notes; this is one of my cupboard essentials.
I just ordered it since it's 40% off! I can't wait to try it. (You know it's being discontinued for awhile, right?) Time to stock up!
It's sold out. Boo. I'll have to wait until the fall again…but I have plenty of other teas to keep me company.
Shoot! I just ordered mine yesterday. Just in time too. I was going to wait (I've never had it before) but the price and fear of never getting to try forced my hand. I LOVE hot tamales, cinnamon bears, redhots and of course pop rocks so I can't wait to try it :-)
This is quickly becoming my tea choice of the morning. It's bold, brisk and spicy – everything you'd want in an AM cuppa. Yum! Please see other notes; this is a fave.
It's the first day in a very long time that I haven't had a migraine. Whoo-hoo! That means I can go to work and feel productive, like a human.
I celebrated with this tea. This is easily one of the best cinnamon teas I've ever had, and one of my all-time overall fave teas. It's a cupboard staple. I wish more cinnamon teas could be like this one! :)
And it's only partly because of the Pop Rocks… ;)
Ugggg, I used to suffer from migraines often. I'm grateful that part of my life is over (As long as don't eat any of the foods that caused them).
I'm glad your feeling better!
I'm torn – is this my fave Della Terra Tea or is Eight Candles?! I can't decide. Regardless, this is a cupboard essential. If you love cinnamon, this is your tea. I used to be able to stand Bigelow's Cinnamon Stick, but after having this, I say, "Where is my cinnamon, b**ch!" ;)
The Pop Rocks just make it that much more, well, rockin'!
I purchased this in my recent Della Terra Teas order. Well, technically, I didn't – I forgot it, but I called them and they added it to my order. Yay! Love great customer service!
This tea is tied with Eight Candles as my fave Della Terra Tea. I love anything cinnamon and the Pop Rocks just makes the flavor that much more rockin'.
I actually wrote a short story in college that included a tea cafe in which the owners added cinnamon to every dish. Yeah, I love it that much. :) The tea cafe was just a setting, not integral to the story, but I've always wanted to add it to a future story. What was it called? Cinnamon's! Of course!
This is my first official Della Terra Teas tea – and what an awesome inaugural blend! I love anything cinnamon, so of course I would love something called Cinnamon Crackle – complete with every 80's child's fave candy, Pop Rocks. ;) This is in-your-face cinnamon, cinnamon to the max – and this is a cupboard staple.
I gulped down one cuppa and could reinfuse for a second time, so even better.
Now I see why all you Steepsterites love Della Terra Teas – great prices but quality tea!
Also, I should note, this is sweet enough on its own (probably because of the candy).
It's love at first sip. Cinnamon Crackle, I cannot live without you. You complete me.
I had one of those weird "tea fanatic" experiences this morning. 2 servings of this tea, Eight Candles, left. Do I sip down, when I truly need to get my tea stash under control, or squirrel away a serving for later, cuz I like this tea.
Sigh. My stash insanity won, so sip down it is!
8 Candles came out kind of graham cracker sweet for me today. actually really sweet, since it was the bottom of the package, which was more loaded with sugary bits than usual. Pretty good and s'more like, but with caramel.
(see previous notes for review)
I had exactly this experience this morning with two beloved teas, which are now gone (one forever, I expect.) but its time to control that stash!
I've been there, and I understand the appeal of saving that one last cup, but OTOH, if you save it you risk it getting stale. Why not enjoy it now while it's still really enjoyable?
At least, that's what I tell myself.
I mindlessly sipped away at this tea this morning while I worked on my crochet pattern stuff.
Last night I was so tired after brazilian jiu jitsu, but I needed to buy soymilk after class. I saw chocolate soy was onsale and I bought that instead of buying the usual stuff – now I'm stuck with chocolate milk for everything!
I wanted a pancake for breakfast and it was made with chocolate soy – I figured Eight Candles would match. I almost had S'mores, but I have more of Eight Candles. It was a very caramel, marshmallowy chocolate morning!

Glue for wire stators
Hi there , im trying to glue my PVC insultated wires on a HPL frame.
i used 2 component epoxy glue, after 10 hours drying at room temp. it sticks well to the HPL, but all the wires just come lose. is there another glue i need to use? its pretty anoying caus i cant use the wires anymore nor the frame.

What is the gluing technique that you are using to bond wires? From my experience slow curing epoxy encapsulates wires very well and gives a strong bond. That's assuming glue is applied on top of wires via syringe and is allowed so sag.
Maybe HPL aborbs most of epoxy leaving a starved joint?
Another glue that worked very well out of my many experiments is PVA - and panels which were build using it 5 years ago still work without a single loose wire. Different grades of PVA can give somewhat different results in terms of adhesion strength.
Take your time and do sufficient amount of experiments before final assembly.

yeah i just bought PU 2 component contruction glue, some dutch guy that made DIy esl used it with HPL so i give i a try, pretty expensive i must ad although its almost 800 grams so it will last some time as well. i just glued a few wires on HPL 2 pieces of HPL together and a batch of 8 wires under tension in the rig, will post the results tomorow , hope it finally stays where it belongs
funny part is its ment for wood, but it can glue wood to most other opbjects so.
Lukas the PVA glue is'nt that water based glue >? for wood and paper and stuff ? if that would work that would be way cheaper and also i dont have to mix the 2 components
thanks for the reply Lukas!

Yeah, that's the same white water-based glue for wood. There are different grades of it, some are more resistant to moisture than others. Look for one which has most resistance to water you can find and not too thin running. Later you can dilute it to right viscosity with water. Also there are some grades with hardeners which I have not tested but those might be even better.
I used "class D3" PVA glue which seems to work well.
There was an accident when a heavy tool dropped onto panel on outside. It has bent several wires and stretched copper core considerably. However PVC insulation survived and the glue didn't let it go! That was kind of surprise to me.
Good luck and be sure to test several times before final gluing procedure.
By the way, any pics?

If you are gluing to the the composite side of the HPL then you may need some sort of primer coating.
Maybe some thing like a polyurethane or varnish of some sort as the stuff is composed of pulverized paper much like MDF.
Just like sticky tapes won't hold to plywood very well or at all.
I recently have a project were I need to use some double side tape to stick some appliance rollers to a plywood base for my stacked washer and dryer.
But I know from past experience that I will need to coat the wood with something before the tape will stick properly.
I have had similar instances with epoxy on some materials as well, such as on composite press board (particleboard), the kind that is made out of sawdust.
As mentioned a PVA glue may work well as a primer than a oil based polyurethane will as the oil's in it may hender the epoxies adhesion ablility until it cures out, and, that can take a long time to do.

Thanks all!!! . i will will try the normal wood glue as well, theres 2 diferent versions 1 for outdoors and one only for indoor. i probably try the oudoor one component version.
The 2 component stuff i got now is also for wood. but i mixing the 2 components is verry anoying and waiting for 48 hours is also not really my thing

some more failures today. the expensive 2 component version does not hold well enough on the wires.... also bought a wood glue version wich should be hardened in 30 minutes, but after an hour it just lets go when i get it out of the stretcher.
i tried some Hot glue now, and this might be the stuff im looking for, it fills gaps easy and adhesive to the pvc much better then all the other products.
only anoying thing is ofcourse the extreme fast setting time. its nice to glue fast but this is insane. thank god i just can get the paint burner and reheat the glue.
i will make some pictures when i got the procedure right. for now i got a small panel playing, but the big ones have more supports hence more glueing hence more hard time with the stting time of the hot glue
The best thing would be to use the hot glue at bottom and top, it takes all the force, then somehow glue the rest of the supports. i want a frame to leave the stretching jig as fast as possible.

Jim Strickland of Acoustat did not glue his stator wires into place he encapsulated them. The frames are styrene so he simply made a thick syrup of styrene plastic and solvent. The off gas is not good and you need to do this out of doors. but you might give that a try. Hope this is of interest. Best regards Moray James.
