Having spent a week in Vacouver, enjoying all the trappings of a bustling city, my wife and I travelled to Banff to spend a week of our honeymoon.
The contrast between city life and the more relaxed pace of life in Banff was immediately obvious.
The Rimrock sits in a perfect setting in the mountains above the town, but provides a regular free shuttle bus service into the centre of Banff. The surrounding scenery is nothing short of breath taking and this was also true of the view from our room.
The hotel itself is huge, with decent enough restaurant and bar options for those not wishing to venture into the town. However the food was perhaps a little pricey for the quality. Not to say that it was bad, but was probably more of a "hotel standard" than many of the excellent reastaurant options a short bus ride away. Some features of the hotel may seem a little dated to the seasoned traveller, but I suspect that this may be true of may of the hotels in this region. In my opinion this simply adds a bit of character to the place.
The staff were extremely friendly, especially the porters who are always ready to greet guests with a smile and pleasant conversation.
One of the top selling points of this hotel for ourselves, is oddly not even a hotel feature! The Rimrock sits directly across the road from Banff Upper Hot Springs, a natural hot spring facility. For the meager sum of approx $8 you can kick start your day with a soak in the wonderful heated outdoor pool (and perhaps a treatment in the spa). As a bonus we were also fortunate enough to witness deer at extremely close quarters just outside the hotel entrance one morning.
In addition to this pefect start to a day, the hotel also has a fantastic bar/lounge where we chose to unwind most evening with a cocktail or bottle of wine in front of the roaring log fire.
My only small complaint would be that no acknowledgement was given to the fact that were were "honeymooners". Not that we're the sort to expect red carpet treatment or anything, but even just a small "congratulations" can go a long way to boosting the feel good factor.

Why Are People Poor?
Why are people poor? I remember being asked this question 10 years ago while training for a program I was volunteering with.
Welcome to the month of June. Did you know that May is considered Asian Pacific Heritage Month? Don't worry, most folks don't know or care either.

PHILADELPHIA -- Great mysteries of the world:
Who is inspector No. 47?
Why are lemmings compelled to rush toward the sea?
Who built those remarkable monuments on Easter Island?
What's wrong with Donovan McNabb?
Two years ago, the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback was second in the MVP balloting. Last September he signed a 12-year contract worth $115 million, the richest contract in NFL history. In this season's first two games he has been, to put it charitably, awful.
The Eagles have scored 10 points -- the lowest total in the league. McNabb's passer rating of 41.4 is the worst among starters. His completion percentage (.451) isn't much better. He has been sacked 10 times, fumbled four times and thrown three interceptions -- and zero touchdown passes. Philadelphia is 0-2 and contemplating a potential 0-3 with Sunday's game in Buffalo.
What's with McNabb, who has consistently been one of the NFL's best players over the last three seasons?
Here in the City of Brotherly Love, conspiracy theories abound.
"Oh, really," McNabb said Wednesday during an interview with ESPN. "I would love to hear them."
Really? OK, here goes:
Sam Donnellon of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote a detailed Monday story about McNabb's offseason conditioning program that added 10 pounds of muscle to his upper body. Besides two exquisite headlines -- "Knocked on his Mass" and "Pumping Irony" -- it looked like a fairly flimsy excuse to run a picture of a shirtless McNabb on the front page.
"It's a stretch," said Jon Runyan, the Eagles' offensive tackle. "They're trying to fill space."
In June, McNabb married his Syracuse sweetheart, Raquel Nurse, a former basketball player for the Orangewomen. Somehow, some folks are implying, this is all her fault. That's what they said about Pete Sampras before he won the 2002 U.S. Open.
"I'm still working on that," McNabb said. "Maybe I have to call Sampras and find out how he was able to bounce back from that."
Another theory: McNabb is feeling the effects of the dreaded Campbell's Chunky Soup Curse. Terrell Davis limped into retirement, Kurt Warner has been bludgeoned to the sideline and now McNabb can't find his way into the end zone.
"That might have been it," McNabb said. "I ate too much. I'm recovering from the Chunky Corn Chowder. The way you have to look at it, (Michael) Strahan, (Brian) Urlacher did a pretty good job. John Lynch is on it now. And they seem to be rolling."
And then there is the odd notion that the fans are too close at Lincoln Financial Field (The Linc, where the Eagles are 0-2, has been rechristened the Stink). The players, the theory goes, are more tentative because they are bracing for the inevitably louder boos.
"That's a good one," McNabb said. "I'm going to have to write that one down."
There are other random thoughts: his new hair-do is to blame; he hasn't been the same since breaking his ankle last November and missing the six regular-season games; he's never been a particularly accurate passer; the receivers aren't getting open; he was overrated to begin with, etc.
"I'm still trying to figure it out, but I'm working with those," McNabb said. "But I'm still open for some suggestions, hoping I'll still get some good ones."
Seeking better situations
Invariably, quarterbacks draw too much praise when the team is winning and too much flak when it's losing. Is that fair?
"Sure," Runyan said, laughing. "You think back in the day when he was a kid, he chose to play that position. He knows what goes with it. High expectations, higher salary -- you take on more B.S. with it, too."
After 31-10 loss to New England in Week 2, Eagles' head coach Andy Reid tried to deflect the barrage of criticism.
"It's not about Donovan," Reid said. "It's about the team. We all need to do better. Please don't point the finger at him."
On Wednesday, Reid -- always a stand-up guy -- pointed the finger at himself.
"I have to go back and look at what I do, and the situations that I'm putting him in to be successful," Reid said. "I didn't put (him) in good enough situations. As a play-caller, I take that responsibility. I've got to do a better job."
Specifically, what would that entail?
"Well," Reid said, smiling, "I can't tell you those things because the Buffalo Bills are watching. I just need to mix and match a little better."
There is a widespread perception that McNabb operates more effectively outside of the pocket. This may or may not be true. Last year, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, McNabb had the league's best passer rating (131.3) when he passed while moving forward, i.e., out of pocket. The numbers, however -- 12-for-21, 212 yards, three touchdowns and 0 interceptions -- don't seem to be broad enough to represent a significant sample.
On the other hand, leaving the pocket can be dangerous; last season in Arizona it earned him a broken ankle.
"To make this offense good, you have to do a little bit of each," Reid explained. "You move the quarterback's launch point around and whether it's a straight drop-back, three- five-, seven-step drop, whether it's a half-roll or whether it's full play-action where he's booting out of the pocket -- those are all important responsibilities for a play-caller and I need to do a better job at that."
McNabb -- like Elway before him -- has never been a quarterback who could accurately be defined by the pass rating statistic because it does not factor in courage and risk and the ability to make big plays under duress. Last year his completion percentage of .584 was only the league's 22nd-best figure and his yards per attempt (6.34) was 23rd.
Somehow, the Eagles reached the NFC championship game for the second consecutive year.
Mechanical bull?
The background music for the Eagles' bye week was provided by a chorus of experts in mechanics.
"To be a consistent quarterback, you must be fundamentally sound," ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski, a quarterback in Philadelphia for a decade, told Paul Domowitch of the Daily News. "Right now, Donovan isn't. He's throwing off his back foot there's an incredible regression in his mechanics.
"You can read a quarterback's mind by watching his feet. And (against the Patriots) Donovan's feet were constantly moving."
A veteran scout, speaking anonymously to Sports Illustrated's Peter King, said, "His passes are so far off now, it's scary. It's unbelievable to me because he's played so much, yet he looks so uncomfortable in the pocket, as if he has no confidence in himself or his receivers."
Runyan confirmed what everyone else has sensed in the first two games.
"He wasn't comfortable," Runyan said. "He was thinking too much and not reacting to it."
McNabb has had a lot on his mind. Since he signed that huge deal, he has played in 11 games and thrown exactly 11 touchdown passes. The Eagles, interestingly, are 6-5 in those games.
When he broke his ankle on the third play of Philadelphia's Nov. 17 game against Arizona and played the rest of the way, throwing four touchdowns and leading the Eagles to a 38-14 victory, it confirmed McNabb's status as a superhero. When he missed the next six games and the Eagles fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship, it confirmed his mortality.
The loss of free agents, pass-rusher Hugh Douglas and kick returner Brian Mitchell, during the offseason put a little more indirect pressure on McNabb, who has never been surrounded by a stellar offensive cast. When the defensive players started to go down, from safety Brian Dawkins to cornerback Bobby Taylor to defensive lineman Brandon Whiting, the pressure on McNabb to deliver increased.
Has McNabb put too much pressure on himself?
Reid answered the question this way: "I will say this: He is the most competitive guy that I've ever been around. There is no one who wants to win more than Donovan."
So, what about it? Did he try too hard to make it happen all by himself against Tampa Bay and New England?
"That could be a little bit," McNabb said. "That could be it a little bit.
"That's the competitive nature in me. Just wanting to be the best and wanting to do everything I have to in order for this team to make it that far. You put pressure on your shoulders.
"You want to go out and be perfect. So I want to go out and be perfect. Maybe a little too perfect."
For example?
"It's just realizing that, OK, when you have a three-step drop, get the ball out, let the guy score. Five-step drop, get it out, let the guys work. Instead of maybe taking five steps, seeing a guy, but you know you've got a big play coming up, and a big person coming up on the post, or a deeper route to get a big play and holding onto it maybe a little bit longer than usual."
Really, it's that simple. McNabb, not liking what he was seeing, held onto the ball too long -- hoping he could make something happen. He did, but it was almost always something bad, like a sack or turnover.
The bye week, McNabb said, has given him time to reflect.
"What I've come up with," he said earnestly, "is that I just need to be me."
A cliché, to be sure, but clichés are merely truths that have congealed into truisms.
"I need to go out and play football and have fun," McNabb said. "If I do that, then everything will be fine."

Starring: Jay Ashley, Ian Daniels, Frank Towers, Sahara Sands, Gina Rome, Kristi Myst, Micki Lynn
Studio: CDI
Somebody is murdering rich Beverly Hills ladies' men. The coppers have plenty of clues but at the same time are sort of, well, clueless. They know that each of the guys was injected with a drug which brings on cardiac arrest, and that they got the bejeesus boffed out of them less than an hour before their deaths. But other than that, L.A.'s finest have zilch. But now ace detective Jay Ashley is on the case, and he's got his eye on Kristi Myst as his prime suspect ? she's the wife of the first victim, who conveniently signed over his life insurance to the blonde sex machine minutes before moving on to the happy hunting ground. Trouble is, Jay's also got his eye on her for other reasons ? and who wouldn't? Ms. Myst exudes a four-alarm eroticism which has made her, in a relatively short time, one of the porn world's most talked-about performers. Also turning in mesmerizing sexual turns here are Sahara Sands and Micki Lynn. Erotica as it should always be.

This invention relates to plastic display packages commonly designated blister packages, in which a plastic blister receptacle is secured to a generally flat backing member. In particular, this invention relates to such a package having means for easily tearing the plastic blister receptacle for gaining access to the contents of the package.
Plastic blister packages, also known as bubble packages, have been in long and extensive use for packaging and display of a wide variety of products. The package is composed of two primary components, a stiff backing, usually of cardboard, and a thermoformed blister receptacle having a peripheral flange which is bonded in some manner to the backing. The blister receptacle is shaped to fit over and cover articles that are to be contained within the package. It is usually formed of transparent plastic film so that the contents of the package may be viewed.
While such blister packages are relatively inexpensive, gaining access to the contents has proven quite difficult. The plastic blister is almost impossible to open wihout a sharp knife to cut into the plastic material and remove at least a sufficient part of the blister as to make it possible to remove the contents. The edge of the plastic blister is extremely difficult to tear manually, and normally the plastic material remains intact. If the backing is cardboard, the backing is, on occasion, perforated so that the contents may be removed through the cardboard backing. Often the perforations are inadequate to permit access to the contents of the package without some object to assist tearing of the backing along the perforation. If the perforation is too pronounced, during shipping and handling, the package can inadvertently be opened. Thus, perforation of the backing has found some utility, although limited.
Other suggestions for gaining entry to the blister receptacle have been made. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,119,203; 4,210,246; 4,266,666 and 3,942,690 has suggested various structures in which the blister is bodily separated or removed from the backing. The blister receptacle itself is not cut or torn during the removal process. U.S. Pat. No. 4,191,293 is similar to these patents, and also provides a separate tab to help remove the blister from its backing. Again, the blister is not torn or cut.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,793,745 discloses a package composed of a plastic blister secured to a backing. A tab is provided to permit rendering of the plastic material of the blister along a pre-formed score line. While the plastic of the blister is separated, there is no means in this patent of providing a starting point of weakness to initiate tearing along the score line.
The present invention provides an improved package of the type having a generally flat backing and having a blister receptacle formed of plastic which has a peripheral flange which is secured to the backing. In accordance with the invention, a tab is provided extending from the receptacle at and intersecting the flange, with the tab being unsecured to the backing. A tear initiation cut through the plastic material of the receptacle at the intersection of the tab and the flange is provided for initiating tearing of the plastic material when access to the contents of the package is desired. The plastic material therefore is irreparably rendered during the opening process.
In accordance with the preferred form of the invention, the tab comprises an integral extension of the plastic material of the receptacle. If desired, more than one tab can be provided for rendering the plastic at certain locations of the blister, and the tabs can be located adjacent one another so that a significantly large opening can be provided than were a single tab employed.
To facilitate one's grip on the tab, various means of grip enhancement can be formed in the tab. In accordance with the primary embodiment of the invention, the grip enhancement comprises a series of adjacent ribs. The tab may be otherwise structured, as by perforations, roughening of its surface, and other similar means.
A tear initiation cut is preferably at each side of the tab in order that simultaneous rendering of the plastic material of the blister occurs when the tab is pulled. Each of the cuts comprises a slit which extends into at least an edge portion of adjacent flange of the receptacle.
In some instances, tearing away of a particular portion of the plastic material is desired. In those instances, a tear guide is provided extending from the cut, the tear guide preferably comprising a lineal bead in the receptacle. To ensure the tearing proceeds along the tear guide, the plastic material of the bead is of a lesser thickness than the adjacent plastic material so that once tearing has begun, it naturally follows the line of lesser thickness of the lineal bead. As many beads as cuts are provided in the blister receptacle. If a single tab is provided, two beads are provided extending from its two tear initiation cuts. If two adjacent tabs are provided, three beads extending from the cuts of the tabs are provided, and so on.
The invention is described in greater detail in the following description of examples embodying the best mode of the invention, taken in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the invention,
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a package similar to that of FIG. 1, and illustrating tear initiation tabs at opposite sides of the plastic blister receptacle of the package,
FIG. 3 is a top plan view similar to that of FIG. 2, but having a different tab arrangement,
FIG. 4 is another top plan view similar to that of FIG. 2, having yet another tab arrangement in a corner of the blister package,
FIG. 5 is a top plan view similar to that of FIG. 2, with the combined tab arrangements of FIGS. 3 and 4,
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of yet another form of the invention having a tear guide extending from the tab,
FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along lines 7--7 of FIG. 6 and illustrating in phantom a portion of the plastic material of the blister receptacle when removed, and
FIG. 8 is a top plan view of yet another embodiment of the invention, similar to that of FIG. 6, having a blister receptacle of a domed configuration.
A package according to the invention is designated at 10 in each of the drawing figures. While each of the packages 10 of the various drawing figures vary in detail as described at length below, basic components of each of the packages 10 include a blister receptacle 12 which is affixed to a generally flat backing 14. As is quite common with such packages, the blister receptacle 12 may be formed of a clear plastic material, while the flat backing 14 may comprise a stiff material, such as cardboard. The blister receptacle 12 is thermoformed in a conventional fashion. It is shaped to fit over the article or articles (not illustrated) which are contained in the package 10, and therefore the particular shape of the package 10 shown in the various drawing figures is illustrative only, the possible shapes of the blister receptacle being virtually limitless.
The receptacle 12 is provided with a peripheral flange 16 which is secured to the flat backing 14 in a conventional manner, such as by heat sealing, adhesive, or otherwise. The sealing between the flange 16 and the backing 14 is shown in a stippled fashion in the drawing figures. The flange 16 extends about the entire periphery of the receptacle 12 so that sealing can be complete in order to, for example, protect sterile contents or insure that small articles contained within the package 10 are not dispensed through some small fissure or opening.
As previously explained, in prior packages, gaining entry to the contents of the package 10 is almost impossible without a knife to cut the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12, or weakening of the backing 14 with scoring or the like to permit access through the backing itself. In accordance with the simplest version of the invention, a tab 18 is formed in the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12 extending outwardly from the flange 16. A tear initiation cut 20 and 22 is provided on either side of the tab 18 through the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12 at the intersection of the tab 18 with the flange 16. The tab 18 is not secured to the backing 14 in any manner, and when the tab 18 is grasped and lifted, tearing of the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12 initiates at the cuts 20 and 22 and extends into the body of the blister receptacle, following an irregular path such as that shown by a phantom line or path 24 in FIG. 1. The direction and extent of the tear path 24 will depend on may factors, including the thickness of the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12, the direction of force applied to the tab 18 when tearing is initiated, the constituents of the plastic material of the blister receptacle and whether it has any tearing orientation, and the shape of the blister receptacle itself.
In FIG. 2, a tab 18 with tear initiation cuts 20 and 22 identical to that of FIG. 1 is illustrated. In addition, a second tab 26 having tear initiation cuts 28 and 30 is provided for permitting an additional rendering of the blister receptacle 12, if desired. Also shown in FIG. 2, the portion of the flange 16 from which the tab 26 extends is depicted as unsecured to the backing 14. In some instances, omitting securing in that vicinity may be advantageous. In other instances, decreasing the securing of the flange 16 adjacent the tab 18, as by a thinner seal area 31 between the flange 16 and backing 14, may be advantageous. If not, the entire flange 16 can be secured as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates a form of the invention having, in addition to the tab 18, two further tabs 32 and 34. In a fashion identical to that described previously, additional tear initiation cuts 36 and 38 are provided through the plastic material of the receptacle 12 at the intersection of the respective tabs 32 and 34 with the flange 16. Each cut 36 and 38 comprises a slit extending into at least the edge portion of the flange 16 and promotes rendering of the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12 along a tear path 40 when the tabs 32 and 34 are grasped and pulled. Similar to the tear path 24, the tear path 40 is shown generally in FIG. 3, with the actual direction taken by the tear path 40 being dependent on many factors.
FIG. 4 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention having a corner tab 42. Tear initiation cuts 44 and 46 are provided adjacent the tab 42 in a fashion identical to that of the previously-described embodiments of the invention. In addition, the tab 42 is formed with a grip enhancement structure comprising a series of adjacent, raised ribs 48. Other means of grip enhancement, such as perforating the tab or roughening its surface, can also be provided.
FIG. 5 is a combination of the embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 4. It functions identically and is composed of the same elements, bearing the same reference numerals, which are described at length above.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a further embodiment of the invention employing the basic tab 18 with tear initiation cuts 20 and 22, but further including a tear guide extending from the tab 18. As best shown in FIG. 7, the tear guide comprises raised lineal beads 50 and 52 in the blister receptacle 12.
At least portions of the plastic material of the beads 50 and 52 are of a lesser thickness than the adjacent plastic material of the remainder of the blister receptacle 12. As is well known in the thermoforming industry and as described in somewhat greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,512,474, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, during the thermoforming process, the shape of the blister receptacle is dictated by draping a heated plastic sheet over a mold, male or female, and then vacuum forming the heated plastic sheet to conform exactly to the mold. The plastic is in a softened state and when the plastic engages the cooler mold, the plastic hardens to the shape of the mold. Thus, turning to the receptacle shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, during the formation process, a hot sheet of plastic is draped over a male mold which is shaped to provide the desired interior shape of the blister receptacle 12. Limited areas of the plastic first contact the male mold at the peaks of the beads 50 and 52 and these areas harden upon contact. As the plastic is vacuum formed to form the tear guides 50 and 52, the plastic film along both sides of the beads stretches slightly, thus decreasing the thickness of the plastic sheet material at these locations. Thus the greatest amount of stretching, and therefore the greatest amount of consequential thinning, occurs at the valleys of the tear guides 50 and 52. Valleys 54 of the tear guide 50 are identified in FIG. 7 to illustrate those locations of maximum stretch of the thermoformed plastic, and hence minimum thickness of the blister receptacle adjacent the tear guides 50 and 52. While the dimensions possible in the drawing figures render it impossible to show relative thicknesses of the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12, that in the valleys 54 is slightly thinner so that once tearing has been initiated by lifting the tab 18 to cause initial rendering at the tear initiation cuts 20 and 22, tearing naturally follows one of valleys of each of the tear guides 50 and 52 without deviating into the adjacent material of the blister receptacle 12. Once tearing has begun in one valley of a tear guide 50 or 52, tearing will follow that valley so long as pulling force is applied to the tab 18.
While the tear guides 50 and 52 have been illustrated as raised beads in the blister receptacle 12 of FIG. 7, depressed beads or grooves, as when a female mold is used, will function in precisely the same manner. In that situation, however, the thinnest dimension of the bead would be at the bottom of the bead, and therefore tearing would proceed at that location.
FIG. 8 illustrates a further form of the invention in which the package 10 is of a domed cross section and includes a tab 56, tear initiation cuts 58 and 60, and tear guides 62 and 64. When the tab 56 is raised to initiate tearing, tearing proceeds along the tear guides 62 and 64 in an identical fashion to that described above with regard to tearing of the package 10 illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7.
When the plastic material of the blister receptacle 12 has been rendered in any fashion illustrated in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1 through 8, if desired, the remainder of the intact receptacle 12 can by physically removed from the backing 14 by inserting a thumb or fingers into the intact receptacle and bodily pulling it from the backing 14. Otherwise, the rendered opening in the blister receptacle can be used as a dispensing opening should the contents of the package 10 so permit.
Various changes can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof or scope of the following claims.

text: Investors have been used to results coming in much higher than projections .Thus when we only meet projections there's selling .The next few qtrs will also be similiar.The 3rd qtr of 2013 will show a big upswing until then unless there are surprises or institutional buying don't expect much.The overall market will effect the price as well.I think the 10-15 value will take a year and a half to achieve..I would definitely! buy on dips.!

Yesterday (3/2) I picked up shares of Myriad. Myriad has exceptional past performance (ROI, Equity Growth, EPS Growth, Sales Growth), has zero long term debt, is positioned for strong future growth, is undervalued, has positive upward momentum, and solid potential for a quick gain. For all the figures and analysis that influenced my decision, see http://www.ripe-stocks.com/stock-analysis/20
Hey, BuddyI think i am in same boat as you are and I share your strategy and also some of stocks including MYGN, SYK and Immucor(BLUD). I did same mistake selling SYK and BLUD early. 2009 year it was black and white and everything was so cheap in march but now stocks are faily valued except few like MYGN, look at SKY, I bought at 33 and sold at 39 and now at 54's.Long term, i think Buffets strategy works rather than Cramers, Hold stocks for ever untill it is above sticker price.Pahad
I agree with you that MYGN is an undervalued stock. It has gone down a bit since I bought a few days ago and I am thinking about buying even more...I'm glad you like the site (http://www.ripe-stocks.com). With my trading philsophy I try to buy stocks that pop in a short period of time. I try not to get greedy and get out when I feel my gains are fair. This means that I avoid losing a lot of money, but also means I miss out on some big runs.
I think you are better than Jim Cramer! I like your fundas. Kewl Website.

Knowledge Mining in Web-Based Learning Environments
The state of the art in instructional design for computer-assisted learning has been strongly influenced by advances in information technology, Internet and Web-based systems. The emphasis of educational systems has shifted from training to learning. The course delivered has also been changed from large inflexible content to sequential small chunks of learning objects. The concepts of learning objects together with the advanced technologies of Web and communications support the reusability, interoperability, and accessibility design criteria currently exploited by most learning systems. These concepts enable just-in-time learning. The authors propose to extend theses design criteria further to include the learnability concept that will help adapting content to the needs of learners.

Product Documents
Product Information
Roundup QuikPRO is a postemergent, systemic herbicide with no residual soil activity. It is non-selective and gives broad-spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, woody brush and trees. This product is formulated as a water-soluble granule containing surfactant and no additional surfactant is needed. Apply through most standard sprayers after dissolution and thorough mixing with water according to label instructions.
Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact and into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 1 day, and on most perennial weeds in 2 days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a quick yellowing of the foliage which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.
Mode of Action: One of the active ingredients in this product inhibits an enzyme found only in plants and microorganisms that is essential to formation of specific amino acids. A second active rapidly disrupts cell integrity of photosynthetically active tissues in the contacted foliage.
Cultural Considerations: Reduced control may result when application is made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the specified stage for treatment.
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat application may be required for adequate weed control.
Spray Coverage: Uniform and complete spray coverage will provide best results. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of runoff.
No Soil Activity: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this product. Weeds germinating from seed after application will not be controlled. Plants growing from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials that have not yet emerged at the time of application will not be affected by the herbicide and will continue to grow.

Not that impressed
By Brent in Seattle, wa on 07/06/2016
I hit a wide mix of persistent weeds with regular old round up from homedepot and most of them were brown within 24 hours. The ones that lived, or dodged the bullet the first time around got a heavy soaking of to instruction strength ProMax a few days later. Nothing Gave them a second coat, this time double strength. 72 hours later and most green is still green but a little shriveled. I was expecting to hear the weeds begging for their lives, so my experience was less than impressive compared to regular old round up.
By James in Masontown, WV on 06/28/2016
Great product user manual. Follow the directions listed for your applications and it is fail safe. Shaded areas take a day or two longer to completely follow sunny area die out. Well worth the price.
Standard Roundup
By Chuck in Windham, New Hampshire on 06/16/2016
This really isn't anything special. It is just more concentrated Roundup. However, this is the most economical way to buy if you use a lot of it. There are many vegetation types that require higher concentrations of Roundup, and this significantly reduces the cost.

Leaking Container
By Bruce in Naples, FL on 08/27/2015
After receipt of my order and placing the box in the garage I returned a couple of days later only to find that the box was soaked with Round up. When I opened the container I found that almost one third of the contents were gone. After speaking with customer service via live chat they refunded me for the lost portion. Now that is what you call Great customer service. Just a little time from both parties and all is good. I look forward to ordering more from from your organization. Even with a leaky container I give your company a 5 star review, for caring about your customers.

By Brian in San Antonio, TX on 04/15/2015

I like to use just slightly over the recommended strength to make sure it gets the job done, and this product definitely does just that. Weeds show the effects of being treated within just 2-3 days and they quickly degrade from there. The price per gallon of mixed solution cannot be beat.

By Douglas in Wilmington Delaware on 08/29/2014

It killed all the weeds in a week. Then it killed all the grass. I followed the instructions to the tee. I thought a herbicide kills weeds only. I spent $1000+ reseeding after scraping all the dead grass down, many cubic yards of dirt and grass seed. Let alone many many hours. Be forewarned

QIs it safe to use Roundup Promax on entire lawn? Would it kill the grass?
ARoundup Pro Max contains glyphosate which is a non-selective herbicide. Non-selective herbicides will kill just about any vegetation that they are sprayed on including grass. We do carry a full line of selective herbicides that can be safely sprayed on certain lawns and will only kill listed weeds. Try entering the name of the weed you are trying to eliminate in the search on our website. A selection of products should come up. You can click on each product and read the description and also the product label to see if the product will fit your needs. You can also contact your local cooperative extension office and request to speak to the master gardener on staff. The master gardener can make product recommendations for you based on the type of grass you have and the type of weeds you are trying to eliminate.

QAre there any small animal safety precautions after spraying lawn with RoundUp?
ARoundUp Pro Max like most of our products is very safe to use around pets. The general rule of thumb is to have your pets inside or in another part of the yard while you are applying the product. Once the product has had adequate time to dry, usually 45 minutes to an hour, it is perfectly safe to have your pets back into the yard.

QWill Roundup Pro Max kill philodendron vines? Does it contain a surfactant?
Tried regular Roundup, and it had no effect. I need something stronger to clear out these tough to kill plants from my woods.
ARound Up Pro Max can be used to get rid of philodendron vines. You should cut back the vines and apply the product at the strongest usage rate to the freshly cut vines for best results. Round Up Pro Max does contain a surfactant so an additional surfactant is not needed.

QShelf life and temperature? How to use on tree stump after cut 1 year ago?
What is the shelf life and how to store? How to use after on tree stump from preventing newly Sprouts from a peach tree?
ARoundup Pro Max works best on actively growing vegetation. According to the product label "Apply a 50- to 100-percent solution of this product to the freshly cut surface immediately after cutting. Delays in application may result in reduced performance." Because of these label recommendations Roundup Pro Max may not be suitable for your needs. We do carry Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer which is labeled to get rid of stumps and also to stop stumps from sprouting. This product will last for about 3 years from the date of purchase and should be stored out of extreme temperatures and kept away from direct sunlight.

QWill RoundUp Pro Max kill crabgrass and potato vines?
I have an undeveloped lot next to my home and the vines are growing rampant into my trees and bushes.
A Yes, Roundup Pro Max will kill crabgrass and almost any weed, grass or vine it gets sprayed directly on. It will not prevent new growth of those items, rather it will kill whatever you directly treat. Some vines, if well-established, may require a higher concentration or multiple applications to get full control.

QWill Roundup Promax kill the invasive chameleon plant?
manually removing the plants and as many of the roots and rhizomes as possible and disposing of them by incinerating them
A Roundup Promax is not labeled to treat chameleon plant so we cannot confirm if it will work on it. It appears this type of weed is best controled by manually removing the plants and as many of the roots and rhizomes as possible and disposing of them by incinerating them. This will need to be done multiple times to get complete control. It might also be helpful to contact your local cooperative extension office and speak with the master gardener on staff to see if they are away of methods that others have used to control this plant in your area.

QWe live in the woods & want to kill the brush/weeds but NOT the trees? Would this work for our application?
ARoundup works great as a spot treatment. Crossbow is known to be a great product to kill brush and other unwanted woody plants. You should not spray if it is windy and be careful that over spray does not get on the desirable trees.
04/19/2015 Don from Boiling Springs
QWhat is the volume of the Roundup Pro Max?
AThe Roundup Pro Max is 1.67 gallons or 213.76 oz. You would mix 2 oz. per gallon of water for most applications and 5 - 9 oz. per gallon of water for Brush and Vines.
10/31/2014 Rich from St. Louis, Mo
QHow much Roundup Pro Max will i need to kill a 3.5 acre field filled with grasses and weeds?
Should i spray now or in spring before soybean planting?
AYou will need two 1.67 gallon jugs of Roundup Pro Max to kill all vegetation on 3.5 acres. Simply mix 2 oz of RoundUp Pro Max per gallon of water for most applications. Roundup Pro Max does not provide long term control so we would recommend treating two weeks prior to planting.
08/12/2014 Jp from Commack, Ny
QWhat is more effective on eradicating bamboo, QuickPro or ProMax?
ABoth Roundup Quikpro and ProMax would work great on Bamboo. Roundup Quickpro has a higher percent active ingredient and Diquat which will give you a more quick kill.

In the popular TV show "The Weakest Link" contestants have an opportunity to "bank" if they want to safehouse themselves from a future mistake. This inspires the term "banking" to describe women of a certain age (generally 33+) settling, or "banking" on a perhaps unsuitable partner in order to leave appropriate time for marriage and babies.
"Why is Jenny with that guy? He's an idiot"
"Oh, well she's 33 now and she wants to get married so she's banking"

A local Baltimore term for wilding which is a random attack by one or more individuals against a lone individual. Not necessarily, but typically, this is a small pack of niggers who attack a white boy out too late in the wrong part of town. The motivation is bragging rights, as in "we banked that white boy!" This act is usually NOT accompanied by theft (mugging).
"But, you know, there's something particularly odious and cowardly about this Baltimore "banking" (the local term for "wilding"), that one has to wonder if the city isn't producing a town full of cowards. I mean, like, 5,6,7, or 10, 12 young people jumping and beating up someone, who they don't think can easily fight back, usually someone alone, that they don't even know or ever met............ya gotta wonder: are they really proud of themselves? You know, it doesn't take a lot of guts to do that. So, are our teenagers making us into "a city of cowards"?

WILMINGTON, N.C. - The top-ranked Virginia baseball team led from start to finish in a 7-2 road win over UNC Wilmington Sunday afternoon in front of a Brooks Field record crowd of 3,826. The game was the Cavaliers' final contest in the Hughes Bros. Challenge in Wilmington, N.C. UVa starting pitcher Josh Sborz (So., McLean, Va.) worked six hitless innings in a dominating performance for Virginia (2-1).
After dropping the opening game of the weekend to Kentucky, UVa bounced back with a vengeance, outscoring its opponents 19-2 while the pitching staff surrendered just nine hits.
In his longest career outing, Sborz (1-0) allowed just three walks and struck out four. Only three balls left the infield during his time on the mound. Preseason favorites in the CAA, the Seahawks (1-2) did not record a hit until one out in the seventh inning. UNCW starter Evan Phillips (0-1) tossed 3 2/3 innings, giving up four runs (two earned), four hits and a walk. He also fired three wild pitches as UNCW uncorked five wild pitches in the game, with UVa scoring three of its runs off of them.
The Cavaliers recorded nine hits, with Derek Fisher (Jr., Rexmont, Pa.) and Matt Thaiss (Fr., Jackson, N.J.) each picking up a pair of hits. Fisher drove in two runs and also scored twice, while Thaiss, in his first career start, also scored twice.
UVa jumped out to a quick lead with a pair of first-inning runs. Branden Cogswell (Jr., Ballston Lake, N.Y.) singled to lead off, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a one-out single to center by Joe McCarthy (So., Scranton, Pa.). McCarthy advanced to second on the throw home, which proved key when Fisher ripped a two-out single to center to plate the second run.
The Cavaliers pushed their lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning. Fisher reached base on a leadoff error and moved to second on a Thaiss single. Two outs later, a pair of Phillips wild pitches, followed by a wild pitch from reliever Ryan Foster, combined to bring both Fisher and Thaiss home.
Virginia pushed its lead to 5-0 in the sixth inning. Thaiss hit a leadoff double and moved to third on a fly ball to right from Kenny Towns (Jr., Burke, Va.). He scored on Christian MacDonald's wild pitch.
The lead swelled to 7-0 in the seventh inning on a Fisher RBI double off the right-center field wall and a Towns RBI single.
UNCW broke up the no-hitter with one out in the seventh inning on pinch hitter Dillon Bass's bouncing single deep in the hole between second and shortstop against reliever David Rosenberger (So., Bethlehem, Pa.). The Seahawks then broke up the shutout in the eighth inning on a two-run home run from pinch hitter Joe Bertone off Whit Mayberry (R-Sr., Alexandria, Va.).
Nick Howard (Jr., Olney, Md.) struck out a pair of batters in a perfect ninth inning to seal the victory.
The Cavaliers open the home portion of their schedule at 3 p.m. Tuesday when William and Mary comes to Davenport Field. UVa then plays host to East Carolina next weekend (Friday through Sunday) in a three-game series.

I started this group in January 2006...never thought it would get so big. I love nature and adventure. I'm a guitarist most of the time. But I spend way to much time on the computer. Got to get out into nature to remind myself what life is about.

Can you plz explain how redeeming the trust shares iis needed for RBS,nv to have adequate equity capital? Do Dutch banking regs treat preferred shares the same as debt? If RBS.nv has excesss cash, isn't it better for it to pay down debt and improve its capital base that way, rather than pay down preferred shares?
Sentiment: Buy
Trust Preferred have essentially lost their tier 1 capital status.
Banks will now be assessing their ability to optimize their capital position and take advantage of low rates when possible. Its just a matter of how long it takes the bank to get its ratings upgraded, so that they can borrow at lower rates.
Okay - thanks for yr reply

Vehicle runs rough and sputters at idle. RPM's hold steady at 750 to 850 at idle. There are no obvious vacuum leaks. There is NO check engine light, no stored codes, so I was ruling out a bad coil causing a misfire. It has new spark plugs and a new EGR valve. I was hoping for anywhere ideas please.
