problem with oriental poppy grown from seed

I planted oriental poppy seeds in small pots beginning of March
Then read that I could not plant out until July and they would not flower till next year.  I would not have used them if I had known
They have never been particularly healthy.  They were growing in clumps because I used too many seeds to a pot so I tried to separate a few as good as I can.  They always looked droopy and I thought they were dry so I watered them. then thought they looked worse so let them dry out but they looked flat and droopy again.  Not sure what they really want.
Have planted 5 clumps out in garden, 2 look ok but 3 just look collapsed and I think they are dead
I have just put one in a pot outside to see if it does any better than in garden but still have many more to plant out even though I have given a load away
Have looked online and some sites say sunny spot and dry, another site says shade and water well
Have almost given up on them.  I do not know exact type of flower they are.  Seed packet said oriental poppies and I thought they were just an ordinary poppy but maybe a bit fancier.
Have almost resigned myself to not seeing these doing anything but if anyone does have any advice for me I would be delighted as it would be lovely to see them flower next year especially all the trouble I have taken over them so far

    Hello Susan,
    It's possible that they're suffering from "transplant shock" , especially with these extreme temperatures at the moment. Normally l would plant them out in the Autumn.
    Mine, when l had them, grew in full sun with a few in semi shade, and they all seemed happy enough.
    It may well be that when things cool down a bit at the weekend they will begin to perk up.
    Any chance of a couple of photos, of the ones in the ground, the ones still to be planted out, and maybe the seed packet as well please, if you still have it  :)
  • susananwmssusananwms Posts: 152
    Thanks for that AnniD, just goes to show that you cannot always rely on what seed packet says.  I will take pics best I can, sometimes this works sometime it do,nt
    Think I have managed it, hope I've not sent too many
    One in ground that looks OK
    One in ground that looks like it is dying
    Ones waiting to be planted out
    One just been planted in pot but not watered yet
    Not the most healthiest of specimens  but I suppose there is hope

    I don’t think those plants are poppies at all. Could be wrong, usually am.

    It would not suprise me.  I had flowers growing in a long pot I reserved for herbs. They came from herb seeds
  • BiljeBilje Posts: 606
    I looked up the seeds on the Wilko web sites and it states, if they’re the same ones,  they are perennial poppies ie grow year after year. Yours won’t flower until next year at the earliest. The seeds are very small and as you said you probably sowed them too close together..we’ve all done it.
    The plants in the garden should grow ok if well watered but if they are a clump of seedlings I’d try and thin them out.
    The ones still in temporary homes can be gently separated and potted into individual small pots and grown on until they are a bit more robust. Honestly you don’t need dozens of them.
  • philippasmith2philippasmith2 Posts: 570
    Agree with @Lyn - whilst the photo of the flowers are oriental poppies, none of the potted seedlings resemble them.
  • susananwmssusananwms Posts: 152
    Thanks Billie will try and separate a few more and make sure they are not to clumped together
    I di hope I get some flowers next year but will wait and see, am not that too optimistic to be honest
  • BobTheGardenerBobTheGardener Leicestershire, UKPosts: 10,925
    Poppies hate root disturbance, so you may do better by planting out small clumps and leaving them to fight it out - the strongest will win.  The general advice is to sow poppies direct to avoid the inevitable root disurbance if sown in trays etc.  I had a couple of clumps of them for several years but they do get very large and need about a square metre of ground, plus some extra for untidily flopping on.  I eventually removed them as they grew too big for the position.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • LynLyn DevonPosts: 18,003
    All good advise but Philippa and I say they are not poppies,  did you muddle your labels?

    Do the leaves have hairs on?  I can't quite remember what the seedlings looked like, but oriental poppies have hairy single long leaves, all from the ground, so lack of any hairs at all would certainly indicate that those seedlings aren't right.  If the leaf stems are hairy, then I'd say there's a good chance they are oriental poppy seedlings.

Gubernatorial Candidates to Review

Hi everyone,

The Contra Costa LP (CC) is considering endorsements for governor,
provided the recall campaign is successful. Kevin Moore has moved that CC
endorse Jeff Hewitt, but I think that is premature as the membership has
not had a chance to discuss all the candidates. It could be that there are
other gubernatorial candidates that espouse our philosophy but may not have
that L after their name. Nickolas Wildstar is one such example; he has been
instrumental in helping the LP in Fresno and our neighbors in LP Alameda
County. He too is running for governor, regrettably as a Republican but
still holding the ideals of liberty. This e-mail is not intended to support
or oppose any particular candidate, but just to see what the options are. I
believe all candidates are worthy of review and discussion before any
endorsement is made. I hope San Francisco will likewise have such a
discussion before any consideration.

In Liberty,

Richard Fast

     I’m praying it’s a bad batch of the seat pads. It’d make sense as mine was built (all three of them, but that’s another very long story) over the lockdown and I know that there was an issue with the Pro seats around the July/August time.

    How do you know this?

    I’ve had to start using my wheelchair cushion on the driver’s seat as it’s so uncomfortable, and even causes me pain sometimes.

    #134166 Reply

    Was told by my dealer in September you couldn’t order an Inscription pro because there was a problem with the seats in the pro. His children know my grandchildren so we have a connection.

    I did ask if the B4 was liable to come down in January and he laughed and said no.

    Hey Vinnie ,do you know for sure about the issue with the Inscription Pro ?

    We ordered late Aug ,3 delivery dates have been and gone ,and our local dealer has no idea when it will turn up ,just trying to glean as much info before i start hounding Volvo bigtime when they reopen for business on the 4th Jan,  Thanks

    #134312 Reply

    Hi John

    As far as I remember, had a lot of sleeps since then, and memory is not too brilliant, brain injury, yes I’m sure they said they couldn’t order an Inscription pro at the time as there was a problem with the seats, but I’m doubting my memory now! I thought they meant supply and because I couldn’t order till December said it wouldn’t be a problem, this was just a little glitch. Mentioned COVID-19 😷 etc. At the time you couldn’t build one either on the Volvo website, which is why I rang him, and he couldn’t either so enquired about it, hope this helps.

    mpg update – 170 miles completed 25•8 mpg.

    Ouch! Not looking much better is it? It’s still early days but I’d be very disappointed with that. Yes it’s a petrol SUV, but a small one and only 2WD, so I would be expecting mid 30’s as a minimum. I have been a bit disappointed with the mpg on our 2018 Tiguan, yet it has averaged 39.8mpg. Yes it’s a diesel, but the 190PS variant with 4WD and I don’t use eco mode as it results in too much lag. The BMW 5 Series that I used to have, also 190PS Diesel auto – only 2WD but bigger and heavier than the Tiguan / XC40 – averaged 47.9mpg and I drove it ‘keenly’ 😂  My wife is keen that we switch from diesel to petrol next time but I would want at least mid 30’s mpg as I detest having to refuel more than is absolutely necessary. The last car that I had that only delivered 25mpg was a V8 BMW 750i Sport and whilst the XC40 is a nice car it isn’t in that league!

    Brydo have you got the Volvo on call app thing on your phone, it states the miles covered fuel consumption and the average speed.

    Maybe if we all started emailing their own figures from their own app it would prove a point of everyday customer driving.

    Happy New Year by the way..

    #134340 Reply

    Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a nice festive period.

    I think it’s a good idea to post some of the On Call app details to see how we’re all comparing seeing as there seems to be quite a discrepancy in figures. Here’s one from me that’s from a fairly typical journey for us. I have a 1/2 mile gravel track before I get to a B road which doesn’t allow more than about 15mph, so my track, then a couple of miles of B road, then the rest on an A road with a few speed zones of 40 or 50mph. Car is set to comfort mode and I’m not trying to save fuel. When I set the car to eco I can get to high 30’s but never into the 40’s.

    #134341 Reply

    @Pillboy, I got this from the Facebook groups. Others were waiting at the same time and were told by their (different) dealers that there was an issue with the seats that was causing the delays to the Inscription Pro cars.
    I’d definitely advise calling your dealer to get it looked at. Mine goes in, in a few days and I’ll be sure to have someone feel the seat before I leave. I appreciate this might be difficult due to social distancing but I’m not going to get a call and being told that there’s nothing wrong.
    I’m loving the car, in general, but even though the suspension is very good, the poor roads means that any bumps are amplified up my spine.

    , when I got mine, I had a couple of trips where I hit 41+MPG, was thinking that it was pretty good and would get slightly better.

    However, now, I’m having to work hard  to get over 35MpG.

    I know most modern ECU’s are programmed to alter the engine characteristics as cars bed-in but honestly thought I’d go the other way. 😂

    This is where the app is great as the driving journal keeps all of your trips, even the stop-offs during each trip. i.e. To the shops, docs, etc.

    I’m just over 1k miles now and thinking I’ll be settling in the 35MPG range. I’m in a pretty rural area and am not often sat in slow moving traffic but it is quite a hilly region.

    🏎 I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it 🏎

    #134427 Reply

    I’m fearing the worst bionic rusty, still early days but it looks like early 30’s at best. It is freezing outside and most of my journeys have been short, but still was expecting better.

    On the seat subject the seats are no where as comfortable as the xc60 we just handed back.

    #134430 Reply

    I have the D3 and over 6k miles now getting 46mpg average.

    seats are comfy (my20) but agree not as good as old xc60.

    #134450 Reply

    Morning @Brydo. Yesterday, we drove to the docs, did a little shopping and then home. The journey there was smooth, we are pretty much straight on to main roads but there is a bit of a climb up to the docs.
    that trip averaged 27.9mpg.

    Forgetting the short journey to the shops (the app shows each start-finish), the journey home was all flat and again the traffic was light. This trip managed 38.7mpg.
    I didn’t move it out of Comfort Mode at all.

    What I’m realising is that it doesn’t take much to destroy the mpg figure and going back over the logs, some journeys I’ve done with a reasonable mpg, some days, the exact same journey shows an awful mpg but I don’t recall any issues on the way.

    My driving style means I usually get the same or better out of my cars based on manufacturers ‘Combined’ figures. My overall combined is sitting at 35.3 after 1000 miles. Not as good as I hoped for but it’s ok.
    However, I’m fully aware that this is largely due to where I live. If I lived in a city centre, I honestly think I’d be more in the region of low to mid 20’s.
    And honesty bomb here. Even though I knew exactly what the figures were, it is still a bit of a shock coming from a diesel that could hit 66mpg. But I’ve always been aware that Volvo’s are not best known for their efficiency.

    Interesting point you make about the seats, @Brydo and @Ad1. We’ll see what Volvo says when it’s back with them this week.

    #134470 Reply

    The above is a pretty typical example of what mpg I’m getting, the long term average shown on the central display is currently reading 37.5mpg. I agree with bionic Rusty that with a bit of traffic thrown in or a change in driving style does affect it quite markedly though. A ten minute drive into town and back would be about 27mpg at a guess.

    260 miles 26.1 mpg.

    Took the xc40 out today for a wee run, 0 degrees outside, mpg dropped to 20 within half a mile. Reset the mpg and drove another 5-6 miles, mpg settled at 31 mpg.

    Not fantastic but certainly an improvement. I believe it will settle in the mid 30’s.

    Hi everyone ,at last i have had the XC40 delivered ..Yay !

    BUT ,there always seems to be a but ..

    We ordered the XC Inscription Pro ,and was disappointed to find that it does not come with the phone charging pad nor the foldable cargo floor divider,i did see that in some of the YouTube videos that we looked at ,they said that the charging pad was an optional extra ,but i thought it was included in the Pro trim level, also i have never seen [to my knowledge] any of the models that DON’T come with divided cargo floor ,every review i have looked at ,shows this ,i absolutely assumed [ again, rightly or wrongly ! ] that was standard across the range .

    When we ordered the car ,there was not much info offered by the dealer ,and on pick up ,it was basically ,here’s the key , all the best [ Covid regs ]

    Have i [ probably ] made a mistake in the above ?

    To end on a positive ,the car is really ,really top class , cant wait to give it a bit of a run ,again when this Covid malarkey  allows .

    #136109 Reply

    Hi John,

    Glad you’ve got your new motor! It’s a shame but the two items you’ve mentioned are extras even on the pro trim. The charging pad is a stand alone extra and the folding boot floor is part of the versatility pack. You’re right that the folding floor is mentioned in almost every review but they don’t mention the fact that you’ve got to pay for it! As always, these ‘premium’ cars have those little bits missed off that they want to sting you extra for. The rest of the car is lovely though, so you’ve got plenty to look forward to!

    #136115 Reply
    Glos Guy

    Also worth remembering that car manufacturers have Press & PR departments that provide demonstrators for reviews and, just as with demonstrators at dealerships, they tend to ‘bling’ up their cars with a lot of optional extras to make the car seem more attractive and to encourage purchasers to opt for the extras. To be fair to Volvo, this isn’t unique to them. They all do it. Always wise to scrutinise the manufacturer price lists and specifications, which are available on websites (although not always easy to find).

    #136119 Reply

    I took a run down to the local volvo dealer on the 29th Dec to get an idea of colours but the forecourt was full of xc60s and 90s. There was one red xc40 inscription pro with blond leather outside. Someone’s  new car all shiny ready for collection.

    That helped make my mind up there and, inscription  pro in black with blond leather.

    Put in an order on the 30th, glad I did as I didnt know prices go up on the 1st January. By nearly £1k no less…

    Dealer never mentioned about possible price rises.

    Delivery should be some time in March… March 2021 hopefully…

  1. My son played on a US Open Qualifier last year at Fountaingrove in Santa Rosa, unfortunately the club house burned down during the Santa Rosa fire, beautiful place. Anyway, those greens were lightening fast. 40% of the field WD that day. The qualifiers shot 72, even par. No one broke par. They are not as strict now but it used to be if you don't hit with 8 strokes of course rating you would receive the death letter. Saying that you have 1 year to prove with genuine tournament scores that you are truly a 1 handicap or you would be banned for life form the US Open. Last year my son's fri
  2. I guess you guys are doing all this so your child can hit longer. My son and I came from baseball so he swung baseball bats long before he became a tournament golfer. He never had a problem with swing speed. When we started playing tournament golf at 9-10 he was easily outdriving the other boys, many times Dads would say they couldn't hit their drivers that far. But looking back I would trade in a second his ability to spank a long drive for short game and putting touch. He was 4-5 years behind the boys he was competing against since they started at 4-5 years old and he started at 9, but
  3. I remember all the Dads who would scream, yell and get upset at their kids. Nowadays, I'm the only Dad out there watching as those same boys tell their Dads they don't want them there because it ruins their game. So all these Dads have been banned and no longer can watch their 17-18 year olds play golf. Their boys drive themselves to the tournaments and the Dad is no longer necessary except to pay for the tournament. In the end, my greatest satisfaction has been to watch my son fail and succeed. To share all those moments of triumph along with the agony of defeat. He's going off to coll
  4. Are you talking about Steell shafts or graphite?
  5. When my son was young he played several sports, Soccer, baseball, basketball. I was asked to coach baseball and when he played K-league soccer I watched. K-league was 1 day 1 hour of practice a week with a 1 hour game on Saturday, they shuffled the times so a team played at 8 am, or 9am and so on. The first day of practice the coach says, don't worry if you miss practice you can always go to another day, it will all be the same thing. When he said that I figured, hey, why not let Alex go to every practice for the 4 days. My wife was worried, isn't that too much she said? I said, are you
  6. Diet is more important than you think. As one of those obsessive performance dads I've seen and probably tried everything. I began to realize that performance usually dropped around hole 12-13. It was like he was going from Jordan Speith to Joe Blow weekend hacker. I knew he doesn't suddenly get stupid. It was fine muscle control. What's worse is that it doesn't appear like sudden weakness, they actually start swinging harder, which means they get into trouble more, and then the simple putts don't drop, they are losing fine motor control, the sequencing goes off. I really noticed it
  7. I know when he grows older and hopefully wiser. That he will fondly remember back to the days as a scratch golfer in pursuit of birdies and the occasional eagle, Knowing that his dad didn't even pick up a club, but he was always trying to get a hole-in-one....
  8. When it comes to getting good at this sport, there is nothing like playing tournament golf under pressure. Play as much as he can, he's only young once.
  9. Play tournaments where you can accumulate AGJA stars, you'll need them to get into AJGA tournaments. Around here we have JGANC, in SC I think you have SCPGA which is a good organization. Those will be cheaper than the FCWTs or FCGs. Sure you can enter them all, but if you are that rich, no need to ask. After all, besides tournament fees, there's hotel rooms, dining out, travel, not to mention gloves, shoes, clothes, clubs, balls, tees and every other thing that will raid your wallet. I use to tell my son all the time, hey if you are not finishing the lunch they give you, I'll eat it. T
  10. Life is not fair, when your old enough to know how to really talk to women, you're too old. And when they are young and handsome like our boys, they know absolutely nothing about women.
  11. Whenever my son would hit a great shot, like a tee shot or approach shot that was almost in the hole, maybe a 3 inch tap. I would try to say something funny like, why don't you just hit it in and save the putting? Or when he sinks a 60 foot putt, I'll say, why don't you do that all the time? He's gotten so used to my sarcasm that he just flicks me away with his arm. I never wanted him to get a big head. To do great things and to walk off like you do that all the time, its just a golf shot, nothing more, nothing less. Inside I might be cheering, but outside he mostly saw me just talki
  12. I think too often we as parents look at developing talent and think of it as some sort of linear progression. it is, but during the process there are a lot of what seems to be setbacks. That's life. Everything doesn't go according to plans on whatever you do. I recognized early that growth spurts make for tremendous variables. What did I do. I bought the next highest flexes and stronger clubs and had them ready before I detected the growth spurt happening and shots went awry. I got my own Scotland bender. I always went under the assumption that he didn't all of a sudden get stupid. I
  13. Great post! I always took the attitude that a bad shot was the prelude to the great shot! Crap happens, it's what they do to extricate themselves that builds character. I always think that in their minds before they shoot, they aren't envisioning failure, after the shot the most important thing to do is to execute the next shot. My son told me about what happenened 2 weeks ago in a high school match against the #1 school in his league. He pushed his tee shot and was in the rough, 189 yds uphill from the pin. Bad lie. So he took out a 4 iron and flushed a laser shot to within 18 inches o
  14. I remember when I was walking with this Vietnamese mom during a 11 year old tournament that our sons were playing in the same foursome. My son had just had a 10 in the first hole and they were on about hole 5 when she tells me. They aren't even concentrating, they're just talking with each other and having a good ole time and she was disgusted about it. I looked at her and said the following. My son has told me that the greatest thing he liked about golf was that you could meet 3 other guys for the first time at the 1st tee and by the end of the round it was as if you knew them like
  15. Just shows you how much respect these animals have for us golfers. I can imagine the conversation from 1 goose to another. "Aren't you afraid of getting hit by a golf ball out here on a golf course?", the other one says, "are you kidding me? have you seen these guys play? they can't hit the broad side of a barn, much less put a golf ball between my eyes, hell we're safer than their playing partners..."

<![CDATA[Password Manager Master Password]]>The forum moderator (?) leocg, apparently, wasn't bothered to -even- move the topic over to this forum (and had, just, locked it - so that I can't even inquire about it), so... I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing (!); hope that I'm in the right spot, now. 🙂

Started a topic called Master Password v2 to try and get an answer to the previously-closed -unresolved- topic, Master Password.

It's the many-times asked (and answered, without presenting a viable solution) question about Opera not having a master password to lock and protect its Password Manager.

Are there any secure alternatives (such as an Extension, or something); a solution which doesn't compromise security?.. Mainly because why would we trust a 3rd-party to add browser components which handle our sensitive data (the PWDs).

^^ For example, an (main) email account can be used to recover all sorts of passwords: for credit cards, various (online) credentials and so on. This missing feature is the number one reason preventing me (and, surely, many other users as well?) from using Opera as the main browser, on the computer. Just looking for a way to do this, that's all!..:)

Thank you! (In advance, please let me know if - anything)

Other browsers, such as Firefox (as well as old(er) Opera versions), have always had this:

For your information, Back on track restore didn't work with USB 3. When pluged on USB 3, the program does'nt see the flash drive. You can save on the USB 3 but not restore. To make it work simply plug the flash drive in a Usb2 or USB.

If you have this issue listes above this is most likely your solution.

Backontrack Eats Up Gigshttps://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/104167-backontrack-eats-up-gigs/I was just donated an HP 110 notepad with Roxio Back on Track backup and restore software on it, it's only about a few years old. Everything runs perfectly on it except that I noticed that out of a 160 GB hard drive, I've only got 16 GB of free space, which is odd since the notepad has nothing on it by the XP system and some software that mostly appear to be related to the HP bundle. The previous owner was completely unaware of this, but to be expected as she isn't exactly tech-literate. A Google search turned up the problem of Roxio automatically storing backups, explaining why so much space has been used up on other users' drives. Not seeing anything else on the computer as to what could be hogging up all that space, I can only assume Roxio as being the culprit. Using the program yields nothing by way of where I can find these backups to delete them, nor has the help manual I came across been any help. There was even an option stated of pressing on the F6 as the computer started to access Roxio by another means, the F6 option doesn't work. So I'm just wondering what the secret is and how do I dump all these backups to reclaim about 140 GB. Thanks.

Restore Error: Not Enough Disk Space On The Selected Destinationhttps://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/84923-restore-error-not-enough-disk-space-on-the-selected-destination/BackOn Track, v13.0, was included with my purchase of Roxio Creator 2011 Pro in January 2011. Installed on an Dell XPS 8100 running Windows 7, 64. Always backed up to a secondary 300 gig harddrive (D:\). The primary 500 gig harddrive (C:\) has about 300 gig of free space. Due to a file corruption problem I had to restore Windows from the C:\ drive restore partition, after running the Dell DataSafe Local Backup to save data on the C:\ drive prior to the partition format and Windows System Restore procedure.

I repopulated most of my data on drive C:\ from the Dell DataSafe Local Backup. However, I am unable to Restore any of the backup files created by BOT. I thought originally, since I was restoring files from drive D:\, which has only about 50 gig of free space, back to their orginal location on drive C:\ that BOT was reacting to the drive D:\ space limitation. So, I copied several BOT backup sessions from drive D:\ to drive C:\ which has plenty of free space. Still, getting the same Disk Space Error.

I figure this has to be a simple setting problem, but can't figure it out. Years ago I use to use Zip drive backups. It always seemed that any time I needed to do a restore the Zip programs would be out of date. Then I went to Norton's Systems Works only to find that about every two years they would tweek their backup programs and not make them compatible with older version backups. So for me, it's like Deja vu all over again.

Thanks in advance on any insight you can give me to recover the few files that the Dell Backup didn't save.

Disaster Recovery/restore Selected Files Is Taking Too Long...is It Ok?https://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/83299-disaster-recoveryrestore-selected-files-is-taking-too-longis-it-ok/Hi everyone.

Yesterday my computer was stolen, it was an hp compaq mini CQ10 netbook with windows xp on, and Roxio BackOnTrack installed.

About 1 month ago that computer suddenly stopped loading windows, bringing up the well known blue screen, so I tried to figure out what was going on, finally solving the problem with roxio BackOnTrack (which I did not know until then that was pre-installed on pc, infact I discovered it by accidentally pressing F6, if I well remember, on startup, while trying to access the bios).

Anyway, as I said I solved the problem by loading a previously saved state, but I thought it might be a good idea to also do a backup of all my files. I did it with BAckOnTrack, as it braked down the backup file into smaller files, to be saved on my FAT32 formatted hdd.

Now I really say thanks to myself for doing that, as work of years was on that computer.

Today I purchased an electronic copy of BackOnTrack Suite, installed it in an Acer running windows 7, attached my hdd with the backup on, and selected Disaster recovery/restore selected files to restore only one folder from the backup, specifically my user folder, where I kept most of my data. I choose to restore it with disaster recovery because it was the only option I had, as the backup files have the .sib extension.

Now, I started the process more than an hour ago, but it seems to me that it's stuck on the first thing that is trying to recovery, which is the cookies folder. Is it right, or is it actually stuck? Actually the first thing that tried to copy was a pdf file which could not copy, so I just ignored it as it was not at all important. What should I do, this is the second time I try, I already stopped the process and restarted it....is it because the backup is on an external usb drive? Or maybe because I am trying to restore filesfrom a pc running xp to a one running windows 7?

Please I need help, it's really frustrating to have the luck of having a backup of all my data, but not being able to recover it!

Rstidle.exe Hogging The Hard Drivehttps://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/82769-rstidleexe-hogging-the-hard-drive/BackonTrack was pre-installed on my Compaq Netbook. I only found this out when my machine got a Malware problem and I recovered to an earlier backup very easily. Impressed, I downloaded the prog and installed it on my spouse's laptop. (Used to using Ghost at work, Roxio product much easier to use.)

Over a year later, the netbook started slowing down. Task Manager tells me 50% CPU usage relates to RstIdle.exe and regedit only shows one instance of this program, within BackOnTrack.

Details of my version as folows:Roxio BackOnTrack

Looks like BackOnTrack waits for things to go quiet and then starts preparing details of backup image. Trouble is it doesn't stop working when I start using the machineafter a pause.

Does anyone know how to tweak BackOnTrack to go back to sleep when I get back to work on my netbook?

P.S. What a shambles to find support via Corel, and how un-user-friendly they are towards people who forked out for products Corel subsequently bought!! No doubt they want me to buy a new product instead, but I'm quite happy with what I've got, thanks.

back to article US bank deposits checks via iPhone camera

A US bank will this week launch a new service that allows you to deposit checks by taking photos of them with your iPhone. The privately held financial services and insurance company USAA (United Services Automobile Association) serves only current and former members of the US Armed Services and their families, but even with …

    Why does it have to be an iphone? Why not mail in a picture from any mail client that supports gpg encryption?

  2. Owen Milton

    This is less bad than it may sound

    The US has some creative cheque processing. In a lot of places if you write a physical cheque they will scan it for the relevant numbers and send the information off, the banks then immediately transfer the money like a debit transaction. They then turn around and hand the cheque right back to you. Granted, I mostly ran across it when I was down in the whole Florida/Alabama area, but I don't think scanning the cheque visually via camera will be much worse then what they do to pull the numbers off it now.

    @Robert E A Harvey

    You can do that now, except it does not support PGP. Scan the check E-mail it and you are done .

    Or the USA could get it's banking system into the 21st century, I mean, cheques? When was the last time anyone used a cheque in the UK? Even my milkman takes direct debit.

    @ Owen

    Yeah - Walmart does this with all checks. If you think about it, it saves on bad checks. (and where better to have bad checks but wally-mart and the southern US.) The company is in effect making sure that your check is GOOD while you are in line and they can still take back the groceries/shoes/ipod/saw blades/etc. It may be a bit on the Orwellian but likely it makes good business sense.

  6. Matt 32

    I think it's pretty universal

    I haven't worked retail in years (instant check checking schemes were just starting to come on line back then), but I believe Owen's experience is the norm with any of the national retailers from what I see when others write checks.

    Most of the large retailers will print the check for you -- hand them a blank one, they run it through the printer, you sign. Even if they keep the physical check, while you were signing the system was getting authorization and putting a hold on the appropriate funds.

    Gas station debit card readers work similiarily -- they typically check your account when you swipe the card to make sure there's $75 in there. Then you pump. For a while (maybe overnight) there's a $75 hold on your account until they post the actual amount as part of a bulk transaction overnight which goes to MasterCard / Visa, who then send it to your bank, at that point the $75 hold is removed and the exact charge substituted.

  7. kain preacher

    What exactly do you mean?? If some does not take direct debit thats not a fault of the banking system. If you have checking account in the US then you have a visa debit card. Some folks prefer checks .

  8. Jeremy 2

    @Fraser / direct debit...

    They have direct debit over here too under various names (auto-draft, auto-pay, etc) but only a mad man would sign up for it. There's no customer-side guarantee as with UK direct debit, no requirement for a notification/waiting period before a payment can be drawn and no restrictions on the amounts drawn either. By signing up for it, your basically handing the company concerned Carte Blanche to your money and your chances of a speedy resolution if (when) they screw up? Slim to nil.

    That, combined with the fact that several of my utility companies charge horrific 'convenience charges' to pay online or by phone (mortgage: $10/payment; electric: $4/payment), that is why I still use cheques!

    I think in my 6 or 7 adult years in Blighty, I wrote about 5 cheques. Since I moved Stateside a year ago, I must've written 50 or more.

  9. Anonymous Coward
    Anonymous Coward

    What I mean is that everyone has the ability to use non paper based payment and/or cash. Debit cards at the shops, direct debit for services. It's pretty rare for people to use cheques in the UK, in fact many shops refuse to take cheques as they are slow and fairly trivially forgeable. It's also almost unheard of for a shop or business not to be able to take an electronic payment.

    There is a reason that most of the cloned cards from the UK end up being used in the USA and that's becuase the banks there won't put the funding into more modern, more secure systems like chip and pin, hanging on to cheques is a symptom of this.

  10. Alan Dougherty

    This would be a God send for me, as a business customer to banks..

    Every fucking day I have to stand in a massive queue, with multiple deposit slips filled out for bank cheques, sent to me from customers, both in the UK and in the Euro zone, because they do not support BACS, and I can't afford the bank charges to setup Direct Debits as the reciever.

    Now, if I could sit at my desk (if I'm doing paper work) or in my van (if I'm on the road), scan/photo the cheques, and then rip them up after a confirmation, then I'd be well happy...

    PRIVATE cheques are dead.. business cheques are very much alive (the best ones come from the American Embassy.. possibly the most impressive envelope I've ever seen)...

    It's because of Luddites. Some Americans are more afraid of wire fraud than of check fraud. Most checks are sequentially numbered (I know personal checks and business drafts are numbered), and about the only way to avoid an out-of-order check writing is to steal the actual book...and an out-of-order check (or worse, a reused number) always generates a red flag with the bank/accounting department. Plus there's the paper trail. Some people just don't feel safe without something to hold, read, and verify. It's the same with bills.

    Now, direct debits have their advantages. You save on the cost of checks and you can have an easier time balancing the books. Thing is, credit card companies sometimes charge up the wazoo for their services. Many small firms won't sign up because of these fees, and even the big boys are crying foul over oligopoly strongarm tactics.

  12. Squits

    I remember a few years ago

    Someone in the UK made a cheque out of their underpants apparently, as long as the cheque was made out with the correct numbers it had to be accepted, I doubt it would work anymore, what with all this extra gubbins flying about, chip and pin, DD and that.

    I don't think I'd have been happy accepting someone's grundies for petrol or whatever.

  13. SteveK

    I still need to use cheques very occasionally since there are still occasional times where I can't use card or electronic payments - but the only times these days is if I'm putting one inside a birthday card or paying someone personally and there isn't a cash machine nearby. Sure, I could use bank transfer but Barclays no longer let you pay someone new unless they're a business without switching to their pinsentry system.

  14. h 6

    The bluehairs in the checkout line at Publix take so much time writing out a check from their ancient checkbooks, it's almost like an anthropological history lesson.

    And as they say down South, "Bless their hearts."

    Have a fecking blessed day.

  15. Matt 32

    >What I mean is that everyone has the ability to use non paper based payment and/or cash.

    Town will only take checks for paying property taxes.

    DMV in my state only accepts checks or cash in person. Checks if renewing by mail. Neither the town or state want to lose revenue to merchant fees, and they have pretty big hammers to hit you with if you're dumb enough to bounce a check to them.

    That said, almost all commercial businesses take both credit and debit cards, generally preferring debit since the merchant fees are lower.

    There remain reasons to accept checks, however. The big one is most debit cards are limited to $500 per day. Any big tickets or a modest shopping spree either require multiple cards, putting it on a credit card if you have one, or writing a check.

  16. Steve Evans

    In the UK the banks also have some creative techniques...

    Generally this involved the money leaving your account the moment the cheque is presented, it then sits in the banks account for a few days earning interest, then eventually a couple of days later it appear in the account of whoever you wrote the cheque to.

  17. Charles King

    Am I missing something?

    So, what's to stop someone making high-res scan of a legit check, Photoshopping it to add a few hundreds (in words and numbers, easily done), then 'cashing' it via a relatively low-res camera-phone. Printers spent a lot of effort designing checks that would resist tampering, but if the bank is ready to accept crappy low-res camera-phone pics, then surely there's a whole load of dodginess just waiting to be exploited.

  18. TeeCee Gold badge

    Take a step over to the continent. There ain't no such animal as a cheque. Everything is either giro-stylie or electronic. Phone banking (SMS payment) is common in central europe and internet is ubiquitous. One of the very odd things is the balkanisation of Debit cards. These quite often cannot be used cross-border, even though they bear a Visa or Maestro symbol. This means there's still a heck of a lot done in cash.......

  19. SteveK

    "Someone in the UK made a cheque out of their underpants apparently, as long as the cheque was made out with the correct numbers it had to be accepted"

    I've always thought that to be an urban myth... Certainly when I was at uni in the early 90s someone I knew tried giving a cheque for the rent to his friend written on a cornflake packet, and the bank rejected it as not being a proper cheque. I didn't see it so can't comment on whether it had all the numbers correct and legible, but they claimed they'd done it properly..

  20. rpjs

    You can still write a cheque on whatever you like in the UK, and the banks will still accept them (they have to as all a cheque is a written instruction from you to your bank to pay someone from your account) but expect to be charged £stupid_amount by the bank as a "non-standard cheque processing fee" for the privilege.

  21. deshepherd

    Checks and US banks

    I spent 3 years in the US 98-00 and even at that time I rarely used cheques in the UK so was somewhat surprised when I opened a bank account in the US to receive in the post a box containing something like 10 check books each containinbg 20 checks - my initial reaction was how long would it take to use these. Then I discovered that 8every* month I needed to write checks to electricity company, gas company, cable company, refuse collection company, water company, car lease company, local phone company, long distance phone company ... so they started to go quite quickly. However, during that time the banks "invented" (n.b. US banks were constantly "inventing" new ideas that had been standard in the UK for a decade or so) the idea of automated regular payaments aka direct debits so eventually the rate of check usage did decline!

    One thing to remember about US checks is that they don't have a check guarantee card which means that shops can be more selective about accepting checks (signs saying checks not accepted from out of state banks were common and I even saw ones saying checks from out of county banks not accepted) but at the same time the absence of a £50/£100 guarantee limit means checks were accepted for sums that no UK shop would have accepted.

    Anyway, now back in the UK for me, like others above, checks are almost redundant - I never carry a cheque book around with me and they now seem only to get used for sending money to childrens schools for dinner money etc!

  22. Anonymous Coward
    Anonymous Coward

    I'd rather take a cheque than a Direct Debit

    As much as DD has a client guarantee, it means absolutely nothing if the DD was set up by one of their 'trusted entities' or whatever they call them... after all, YOU must've given THEM your details. No verification whatsoever.

    So I am stuck with paying 3 quid or whatever to BT and others who insist on DD for payment. For me that's a safer deal than the cost of dealing with the headache of their screwups.

  23. Charles 9 Silver badge

    @Charles King

    What'll you stop you? The original check writer crying foul, since they probably still hold the stub/carbon/e-record that says exactly the original amount they originally wrote on the check. If their funds get overdrawn, they can call their bank, get an acccount history, and if one of the amounts don't match, they can come back with the stub/carbon/e-record and yell, "Hey! That guy's defrauding me!" You can probably expect a visit from the bunko cops soon after that's discovered...oh, and a transaction correction to boot.

    Anyway, I don't think USAA is stupid. They're not allowing EVERYONE to use the system--just those in good standing.

  24. Chris Pearson

    @Steve Evans

    Those creative techniques are why my 4-5 UK bank accounts don't cost me a penny, but my Bank Of Montreal Account I had when in Canada cost me $5 a month and $0.50 per card transaction once I used up my bundled 50.

    I'd rather wait the 3 days.

  25. pctechxp

    If only in the UK

    This should be implemtned as a Java app like Monilink and would be a lot easier than going into a branch or having to post cheques.

    Although there is not much of a use for cheques over here unless you operate a business, i would file this one under bloody clever

    I use it here since business is still done in cheques. For personal use it is all debit or cash. But the service is damn handy.

It was a bright cold day with glassy surfaces that looked hard.
Into the square frame he stood as if in a dream.

What emerged was precisely what he expected to find: a reflection of memory images. Contemplating his face in the photo frame he waited.

By the steady hands of his watch, he listened to time. Every day for the past sixteen days he saw her. Silver lingered in the crease of
an open book.

Rolex burlwood dial, Jubilee bracelet Miniature

So absorbed in his thoughts
he hardly saw the platinum catch-all, the key, or the revelation locked inside those lapis lazuli cufflinks tossed unmistakably in cold blue.

An automatic stainless steel and eighteen carat gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 16233 model. This example has a very special, and exceptionally rare 'pyramid' style dial that is three dimensional throughout with applied solid eighteen gold Roman numerals. This is a 'no lume' dial, with the correct, original no lume, all eighteen carat gold hands. This means there is no 'Superluminova' applied to the dial or hands that allow it to be seen in the dark.

The watch is powered by a Rolex, Swiss made, thirty-one jewel automatic calibre 3135 movement that powered the majority of all Rolex models since its launch in 1988, from the Datejust to the Submariner. These later models can be identified as they do not have the earlier, characteristic, 'pie pan' style dial. This model also comes with the more ergonomic 'Quick Set' date function, and the newly designed smaller profile case, all of which were introduced in the 1970's. This case does not have the spring bar holes exposed from the side, a 'no holes' case, which was introduced around the early 2000's. The watch is fitted to its original Rolex Jubilee stainless steel and eighteen carat gold bracelet with four removable links in place, which, if needed, can be removed to make the bracelet smaller.

The watch was made circa  2001 with serial number Y696XXX . The watch is in original condition, lightly polished, if at all.  The watch comes with a Foundwell one year warranty against mechanical failure.

A Million Little Pieces

Is James Frey the next Great American author? A Million Little Pieces is the supposed documentation of James Frey’s six week rehabilitation from alcohol addiction, when he was 23 years old.

The graphic results caused by Frey’s complex, along with the deeply rooted relationship America has with alcoholism allowed this novel to become a best seller.  This is despite the fact that the majority of instances presented in this book to be actual occurrences are, in fact, fiction.

The story follows James Frey’s struggle with addiction.  It begins with him in dire straights.  In this essay, I will prove and show why James Frey is a candidate for possibly being considered the greatest writer of the new generation.
Frey wakes up on an airplane half dead with absolutely no recollection of how he got there.  With a hole in his cheek, his nose broken and barely able to walk, Frey’s family picking him up from the airport has absolutely no choice but to take him to rehab.  In rehab, Frey is forced to quit alcohol and drugs cold-turkey, which would be reasonably difficult for anyone in his assumed position.
He claims to be addicted to practically every drug, on top of his addiction to alcohol; he claims to have an extensive criminal record, which makes it very clear to the reader that he was a self destructive youth. But, I personally feel some of his depictions are a bit over the top. The signature line from this book is, I am an Alcoholic and I am a Drug Addict and I am a Criminal.  This also seems to be more of a persona played out by the main character as apposed to an actual depiction of Frey himself.
The fact that Frey has dental surgery without any anesthetics, and the idea that he gets into numerous fights with whomever crosses his path, these are all examples of how Frey tries to create a tough persona for himself.  As an epic hero, Frey serves well, but once it is discovered that his book is fictional, I think it becomes even more complex and actually makes a very saying statement about the author.
I do commend Frey on his writing style.  It is very unpredictable and unique to him.  His lines
The fact that it is known that Frey fabricated the truth, and that the book is very loosely based on fact, it leaves very little room for sociological interpretations.  There are moments in Frey’s rehabilitation when he meets with other interesting addicts.
He compares their addictions to his own, and in turn forms a rational perception of his own problem.  He eventually uses this new self perception for the purpose of his own rehabilitation.
This is a very trying and uplifting moment for the reader, whether it is fictional or not.  The six week experience draws a lot of emotion out of Frey, and if you feel for the character you will embody these emotions along with him.  Frey’s realization about addiction is a sincere take that is universally true.

Shoplifting and Its Effect on Society

Shoplifting and its effect on society. Shoplifting seems like a victimless crime, but the damages caused are far from minor. I myself was recently caught shoplifting, and now I need to pay for the consequences of my crime. There are many reasons why people shoplift, it can be a obsessive compulsion disorder (OCD) all the way to a dare from a friend, either way Shoplifting does not only affect the individual, but it also affects the community, the retailer, and the consumer.
Shoplifting affects not only me but my family as well. I feel embarrassed and worthless yet if I felt like that. “Why did I do it in the first place? ” Because shoplifting is tempting, the shoplifter thinks they’re getting the product for free. But the truth is that someone has to pay for our mistake, thus price rises and the community has to pay. And some stores could even go bankrupt because of shoplifting. It is unfair to people who do not shoplift to pay for the mistakes that shoplifters make.
People in the community who are not as wealthy as others have a harder time paying for their food and needs, and when they feel they can’t afford spending too much money at a certain retail store they will have to go to another destination to shop, causing a great inconvience to them and also the retail store will be losing money and might even close down in the future. We also suffer on a personal level, when an employee who realizes an item has been stolen from their store. They often feel violated, and when they feel violated it causes them to lose trust in others.

So store employee follow potential merchants, watching their every move, making potential merchants uneasy and guilty when they are innocent. As there is no ‘look’ of a shoplifter, there is no way to identify whether a person is going to shoplift or not. And thus trust is lost between the merchant and the retailer. Resulting in an uncomfortable environment to shop in. Only about three percent of shoplifters are professionals. The rest of the shoplifters, shoplift as a response to experiencing stress in their personal lives.
I myself am an immigrant from Singapore I just moved to Canada last year and a lot has happened since then. I survived being poor and unsatisfying for a year, so “why did I shoplift? ” part of me believes that it is because I’m poor and I just wanted something, but part of me believes that it also because of what I’m going through a lot of stress and I feel depressed at times. Its like I need to fill up a hole in me. I thought shoplifting would make me feel better but the truth is you will lose all self-confidence in yourself.
You become even more depressed and emotional you start to feel as if you don’t deserve a lot of things, or that others are better than you. Shoplifting has broken up many families and friends, the distrust and the disappointment they have when they look at you will consume you and soon you yourself will change. I was fortunate that my mother was very understanding and offered to help me out of my depression. She did admitted her disappointment in me but she told me I am still a good person.
That made me realized that as a individual we belong to a community, and we make up what the community will become, each of us play a role to become someone bigger than themselves. When someone does well another will also want to do well. We could start by doing community work and volunteering at places that need our help. Helping others can without a doubt make you feel better about yourself, shoplifting will only make that empty feeling deeper as you start to feel guilty and worthless that others are better than you for not shoplifting. You’ll feel like the bad guy.
Nowadays people not only shoplift, but steal and con others of their money this is because people who becomes thieves usually starts as shoplifters at a young age. Shoplifting when young can often lead to becoming thieves and robbers in the future. In fact ninety percent of convicts admitted that they have shoplifted before in their teenage years or younger. Statistics shows that there is an average of twenty-seven million shoplifters in the United States of America alone, which equates to one person in eleven, and only ten million have been caught within the past five years.
Kids make up twenty-five percent of shoplifter; adults, seventy-five percent. People have been doing this for a long time because fifty-five percent of adults claim they began to shoplift as teenagers, and when asked, seventy-three percent of adults and seventy-two percent of juveniles do not plan to shoplift, it just an act of impulse. And also, an astonishing eighty-nine percent of kids say they know of other kids who shoplift and sixty-six percent say they associate with them. And only three percent of shoplifters are professionals, but they make up 10 percent of the item they sell.
Some even after being caught in the act, fifty-seven percent of adults and thirty-three percent of juveniles say it is difficult to stop even after being caught. Habits are hard to break, shoplifting becomes an addiction and you try to stop but you just can’t. And when you reach that point statistics show that habitual shoplifters steal at least two times a week. So when I got caught on my first time I’m grateful for it, for without it I might have become addicted to shoplifting or worse wanted to make it my professional career. Shoplifting is illegal and is a punishable crime by law.
It is not a small crime whether you stole fifty dollars worth of items or ten dollars worth of items. The crime is the same you have shoplifted from the store, and stolen something that doesn’t belong to you. For example, you can be arrested and paraded through a store in handcuffs, banned from stores or malls, and you may even end up with a criminal record. If you get a criminal record especially when you are young people will treat you like an ex-convict, it’ll be harder to get a job, get into college, or anything else that need a criminal background check. Which is mostly everything.
Shoplifting can ruin your life but remember even without getting caught can shoplifting also ruin your life, as I have already stated that shoplifting affects you emotionally the same thing applies here you lose your self-respect and your respect for others. Small crime doesn’t mean no crime. Responsibilty for your family, friends and the people surrounding you, there are people that look up, like you’re their role model. I myself have siblings and I hope very much they don’t follow in my footsteps; I have never done anything that would cause people to lose their faith and respect in me.
It is my responsibilty to set a good role model for my younger siblings. Also you as an individual have a responsibility as a civilent to be a good role model to the community. Never think that there is no one watching you, there is always someone watching and looking up to you in respect if you’ve done the right things. Respect is something you earn not given. By shoplifting you are openly disrespecting the community and although you may not notice now, but you are also disrespecting yourself. When you shoplift you are disrespecting the community by

New Indiana law works to streamline youth hiring process by dropping permits from schools

IN Focus: Indiana Politics

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s new youth employment law is now in full effect.

Under the law, businesses now register employees under age 18 directly on a new state online database instead of waiting on work permits from schools.

For some teens, having a summer job is a big help.

“I don’t really have time during the school year to work, so you can make a lot of money and get a lot of hours doing this,” said Daniel Bryan, a lifeguard at the Krannert Aquatic Center in Indianapolis.

The law works to simplify and speed up the process for employers to bring people under age 18 on board.

“Before, the process may have taken one to two weeks to get that work permit back,” said Courtney Rogers, public information officer for Indy Parks. “It now just takes about one to two minutes to upload all that information to the state database.”

The law takes effect at a critical time for some employers.

Managers within Kroger are working to fill job openings in just about all of the company’s supermarkets in central Indiana, according to spokesperson Eric Halvorson.

“In a time for us when we are very much in need of associates in virtually all of our stores, the fact that we have this process will allow us to put people at work on a much faster pace,” Halvorson said.

Less than a week after the law took full effect, it’s already making an impact, according to State Sen. Mark Messmer (R-Jasper). Many more teen workers are now registered with the Indiana Department of Labor compared to when the old system was used.

“They’ve got over 6,200 employers that have registered over 48,000 youth employees,” said Messmer, who wrote the law.

“This is going to get better ability to track where those kids are employed,” he added.

Businesses could face a fine of up to $400 if they do not comply with the new law.

Teens and parents can also use the new online tool to find employers who are hiring workers under 18, State Sen. Messmer said.

Partial Differential Equation Toolbox

Solve partial differential equations using finite element analysis

Partial Differential Equation Toolbox™ provides functions for solving structural mechanics, heat transfer, and general partial differential equations (PDEs) using finite element analysis.

You can perform linear static analysis to compute deformation, stress, and strain. For modeling structural dynamics and vibration, the toolbox provides a direct time integration solver. You can analyze a component’s structural characteristics by performing modal analysis to find natural frequencies and mode shapes. You can model conduction-dominant heat transfer problems to calculate temperature distributions, heat fluxes, and heat flow rates through surfaces. You can also solve standard problems such as diffusion, electrostatics, and magnetostatics, as well as custom PDEs.

Partial Differential Equation Toolbox lets you import 2D and 3D geometries from STL or mesh data. You can automatically generate meshes with triangular and tetrahedral elements. You can solve PDEs by using the finite element method, and postprocess results to explore and analyze them.

The Great Grain Vacuum Transporter (GGVT)

The main concentrate feedstock for the goats is whole barley grain, that we buy from a big farm up north from our farm. We get in big plastic bags of 600-800 kg, and that is far to much for our tractor to lift. We could store it in the sacks right on the ground, but that would attract all kind of vermin, like mice, birds and bugs. and wouldn’t be covenient for our barn cats to protect, as they reside on the second floor. Also, feeding it to the goats through the automated feeder that is under construction right now, will be a lot easier with a little help from gravity.

A regular revolving screw transporter is expensive and needs a lot of permanent installation space, so we were not very fond of such a solution. Vacuum, on the other side, is cheap and can be used for several purposes. At least for getting the grains  up and down, and maybe aid in some vacuum cleaning too. So we bought the biggest vacuüm cleaner we could find at the nearest el cheapo shop. A 2400 W machine with decent removable filters and remote resemblance with R2D2 would probably do the job of sucking some barley 3 meters up in the air, and it sure did. The question was what to suck the grain into.

A 1000 m3 water container would be practical, since it has nice valves and is easy to move around with a hand truck or floor jack. img_20171207_1609072016293977.jpg

Unfortunately, it had very poor integrity, and went down like a lead zeppelin when attached to the vacuum. We filled it anyway, but in a quite exhaustive manner that meant filling up the vacuum cleaner barrel, 75 l at a time, and empty it manually down the container top whole. This is probably still the fastest way to get the grain upstairs since each 75 l run takes about 3:30 minutes, but with one dude downstairs manning the pipe, and one upstairs emptying the vacuum cleaner, it’s quite labour intensive speaking in man hours.

Anyway, the farm always provides, and we found an old rusty 1200l oil cistern in the junk mines that seemed like a better choice. After cleaning out some, rust, dead birds, and sealing a hole with a glove, we suddenly had the allegedly largest vacuum cleaner in the neighbourhood.

The pipe  to the right in the picture leads down to the goat milking parlor, and the next challenge is to get the barley down again. Preferrably automagically.

Now, loading the barley is a one dude show, although the suction power is a little weaker than when using just the 75 l barrel.

Manning the pipe is really just about making sure it doesn’t get too much barley and becomes clogged. That could probably be avoided by inserting a small airhose into the pipe, or developing some nice automation stuff with a solenoid valve and a barometric pressure sensor in the hose, but we ran out of barley on the ground before the need for that was imminent. We’ll be getting a new bag next week, so  we’ll see if that’s the next improvment.
