Seeds and Bulbs. a Dying Industry?

March 18th, 2008

Vera Pappas asked:


Seeds and Bulbs have been around forever. And for as long as I can remember they were an essential part of the gardening experience. What’s happened? Over the past ten or so years I have seen a shift in the way people garden. Younger Gardeners (under 35) like to buy instant gardens. You know, the already made up planters to put on their patios, big, fancy coco baskets already made up as well. Tomato plants in patio pots, etc.

The older, more experienced gardeners who always bought their onion sets in March and all the Seed packets with the starter trays, and the bulbs seem to be a dying breed. These were gardeners, real gardeners who started from the ground up, got their hands dirty and truly enjoyed the labor and its successes.

I would hope to see the instant patio gardeners of today turn into the “true” gardeners of tomorrow as they retire from having full time jobs and over scheduled lives. I know there are many of us who have helped our parents and grandparents garden and loved it.

I see part of our gardening industry slowly disappearing from the local garden centers. People won’t buy the seeds and bulbs unless they are on sale or at the end of the season when they are just about being given away. This ruins the market. Less and less will be purchased by the retailer, thereby less and less being manufactured by the grower.

Bulbs are a fantastic, generally inexpensive way to get some beautiful, unusual and even exotic looking plants for your yard. Many bulbs you can buy, you cannot get already grown in containers.

Seeds do take more time and care, however they are the least expensive way to get lots of plants. Perennial seeds are great. For 1 packet of seeds (usually less than $3) you’ll get plants that come back year after year, spread, and can be divided to share with friends. I harvest seeds from some of my favorite annuals, to have for the following year. Although they are not always the same as the original plant.

Starting seeds are a great project if you have kids. This is the most exciting part of spring at our house. We let the kids pick out their own packet of seeds, we set up a table in the garage for potting them up. It’s usually to cold and dreary on the East Coast to do this outside.

The kids check them for water every day and when the first seed pops through the surface, you would think it was Christmas! Once its warm enough we plant them. Our 5 year old twins and even the 2 year old have to plant “their” seeds. They care for them and watch them grow, and everyone that comes to our house gets shown the plants. Our children take a great sense of pride in their gardening. I know someday they will probably be instant gardeners when their lives are busy, but someday they will be the “true” gardeners of our future.

We get so caught up in everyday stuff, sometimes we forget to stop and smell the flowers. Gardening is a release for me, a way to let the stress of the daily grind fall away.

Try buying a few packs of seeds or some bulbs and create life. Watching a living thing grow and unfold before you is extremely satisfying and beautiful.

Why would someone argue for the legalization of marijuana and the outlaw of alcahol?

March 17th, 2008
legalization of marijuana
The Feudal Prince asked:


I thought the whole argument that was based on prohibition being a failure is only strengthened by its repeal. Is it because most of the people that argue for marijuana legalization are under 21?

Is Salvia Divinorum Legal?

March 11th, 2008
legalization of marijuana
Daniel Scott asked:


Have you ever heard about this new and so-called “feel-good” herb called Salvia Divinorum?  A personal friend was once asked if he has heard of Salvia and all he could do was to shrug his shoulders. But when explained in simple terms about Salvia, the first question that came out of his mouth was, “So, it’s basically the same as marijuana or cocaine?”  Why? What is Salvia Divinorum, really? Is it some kind of drug that can induce a feeling of “high” just like marijuana or cocaine? If yes, then, is Salvia legal?

Here are some of things you need to know about Salvia Divinorum before you can judge it and somehow, this might be a big help for anyone.

Salvia divinorum is an herb that grows mostly in Oaxaca, Mexico and they are found usually in moist, isolated and shaded places. It can grow to about a meter in height, has green leaves which can occasionally grow white & purple flowers and its stems are hollow and square in shape.

It is also known in many different terms like “Diviner’s Sage”, Ska Maria Pastora or simply “Salvia”. The term derives from the Latin word “salvare”, meaning “to heal” or “to save”.

Salvia is considered to be a psychoactive herb and it was found out that it was used by Mazatec shamans and the tradition of using it in aid for spiritual healing is continuous even up to this day. Anyone who uses it can experience visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions. It can be chewed, smoked or taken as tincture.  When an individual uses Salvia, he can also experience uncontrollable and boisterous feeling of laughter. So, in this point in time, you can say that it’s a “feel-good” drug which has the same effects like, say, of using marijuana but quite interestingly, it can also be used as analgesic and a therapy for drug addiction.

But the duration of its effects are short-lived compared to other psychedelics. Smoked Salvia can only last for a few minutes. The reports after-effects can also include an increased feeling of insight and improved mood and you could feel you’re flying in and out of your mind but you can’t be “out of your mind” and you know what that means.  You will also experience a feeling of serenity and that’s why they are used for spiritual healing. A very depressed individual can be helped with his mental problems through the use of Salvia Divinorum.

Now, Salvia has become increasingly well-known and more widely available in modern culture.  It is even promoted heavily in many different online stores selling live Salvia plants, dried leaves, extracts and other preparations. On its legal issue, there have been no reported significant events like public offenses or criminality that can be linked with the use of Salvia. Yet, the members of the media and lawmakers are keeping a watchful and suspicious eye on this psychoactive herb.

But if this information is not sufficient enough to close the issue and answer the question, “Is Salvia legal?”, the best way is to find more about it through the Internet.

Automatic 20 Pip Forex Trading System

March 1st, 2008

Sam Beatson asked:


Creating a forex trading system that works is a task some people assign to a divine entity who magically manifests itself as a marketer selling the latest “holy grail” forex trading system. When it comes to an automatic 20 pip forex trading system, the search is likely to be long and arduous, because of the old adage “if he’s doing it, why isn’t everyone doing it”.

In fact, I don’t believe there can be an automatic 20 pip forex trading system because there is always the element of the forex market which is totally unpredictable.

It’s not irregular for a forex analysts whose automatic 20 pip forex trading system is based entirely on his fundamental and technical analysis has to come back the following day and explain an unexpected reversal due to fundamental (socio-economic) news being announced lower or higher than expected resulting.

Another example of why this may happen in these times is a decision made about the war in Iraq for example that has resulted in emotional buying or selling of the USD for instance and therefore rendering the automatic 20 pip forex system another forex loser for the day at least.

So, if fundamental analysis can not be predicted, and as one author puts it “no one knows whats going to happen” in the forex market, how can an automatic 20 pip forex trading system be created?

The answer lies in the understanding of the word “automatic” If you truly want an automated automatic 20 pip forex trading system, you are going to be hard pushed. This is because there are going to have to be rules, such as not trading in the vicinity of newstime where the market reaction can be unpredicatable based on technical indicators due to the reaction of the market to the news as opposed more than predetermined technical levels which tend to get overidden particularly during major announcement such as the non-farm payroll data once per month.

However, you could call a manual trading strategy which makes a fairly consistent 20 points an automatic 20 pip trading system, but there has to be a footnote really, and that footnote must include various rules about the automatic 20 pip trading strategy as to when and how the system can and should be used exactly. The system itself is automatic in the way it roduces buy and sell signals, but, due to the nature of the forex market, it must be traded manually in reality using intuition and skill to not trade during false signals.

If you decided you were going to create the makings of an automatic 20 pip trading strategy, you cannot call it that immediately, because at first it sometimes will be good only for 10-15 pips rather than the full 20. At other times, it may give you automatic signals which tell you to get into a trade which goes for 50, 70 or even 100 pips at a time, which for an intraday forex trading system would be borderline outstanding considering the market may move in a range of only 120-150 pips on a reasonable trading day,

For an automatic 20 pips forex trading system then, one must know the online currency market fairly well. One must have education and mentoring and at least training in some indicators and strategies to understand the reading of the market technically, as well as a sound understanding of the fundamental analysis aspects of the forex market.

For myself, the automatic 20 pip forex trading system I utilise contains a good deal of classic trading rules, fibonacci retracement zones are mapped in, moving averages abound and there is use also of momentum and strength of the market indicators with as much lag reduction as I have found possible with fairly foolproof fail-saftey measures to reduce false signals to an absolute minimum.

Contrast that with a trader I spoke to today and I was flabbergasted to hear together we brainstorm from being technicals-crazy to having an automatic 20 point trading system that gives at least 2 signals per day across three currency pairs (a total 40 points daily target for the system) using only 3 lines on-chart and absolutely nothing offchart - not even a care about news (fundamentals) particularly because it ‘does his head in’. So, just as the fat lady sings when its all over, so expect that anything may be possible.

A system is automatic in that it one to be confident to enter trades. A forex strategy is manual in that it is the forex trader who pulls the trigger on a trade. Its automatic though in terms of generating the entry signal based on the lining up of a few indicators on the chart and off the chart. Rules include the times of trading being particular market hours and avoidance of important announcements is key.

This article concludes that it is possible to create an automatic 20 pip forex trading system, but it takes a lot of trial and error to create an automatic 20 pip forex trading system that does not generate a whole bunch of false entry signals and actually captures trades that go the 20 pip distance.

Akavar 20/50 by Dynakor Pharmacal

March 1st, 2008

Information Bible asked:


Eat All You Want & Still Lose Weight… (and they couldn’t say it in print if it wasn’t true!)

Fact: The secret is the formula. Do not mistake Akavar 20/50 for any weight-loss product you have ever seen advertised before. Akavar 20/50 reduces caloric intake… automatically! There is absolutely no need to count calories, no need to consciously lower your caloric intake, no need for expensive, premeasured meals… and no need to give up your favorite foods!

Fact: A major medical breakthrough has shattered the weight-loss barrier and a new generation of fast-acting caloric restrictors has been born… Akavar™ 20/50.

Akavar™ 20/50 is an entirely new generation of powerful, foolproof, bio-active weight-loss compounds that automatically reduce caloric intake… eliminating traditional dieting, calorie counting, strenuous exercise, fad diets, supermarket “miracle” pills, Japanese wonder diets, rubber suits, belts, creams or anything else you have ever tried before.

Fact: Tests prove success! That’s right. While no diet pill can possibly work for everybody (that’s why there’s a money-back guarantee), scientific documentation has confirmed that virtually everyone in the study who used Akavar™ 20/50 active compound (23 out of 24 participants, to be exact) lost weight. The research results are staggering. In a controlled, randomized clinical trial ( the only type of proof accepted by both the scientific and medical communities), doctors tested a group of overweight patients. And among those that took the active, patented Akavar™ 20/50 compound, every single participant lost a substantial amount of weight except one. That’s right, 23 out of 24 people lost weight… Amazing!

This is not marketing fantasy, this is scientific fact, documented by published medical findings. But there’s more! In recent months, thousands and thousands of men and women around this country who have been overweight for years… have used the Akavar™20/50 formulation and have experienced a fantastic and incredible loss of weight without ever “dieting”… not even for one day. Finally, automatic caloric restriction is a reality.

Note: While the published clinical trial using the active Akavar™20/50 compound resulted in significant weight loss without diet and exercise, adding a sensible diet and exercise program to your weight-loss regimen should only enhance Akavar™ 20/50’s incredible weight-loss power. Individual results will vary.
