A convicted burglar is suing an Indiana homeowner who shot him during an attempted break-in two years ago.

If you don't know? That's okay! I'll gladly explain it! In science, biology specifically, there is a phenomenon known as symbiosis. This is when two organisms of different species coexist together, and each organism is mutually beneficial to the other. One provides something beneficial to the other organism which can't produce that thing on its own and vice versa, thus, a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship is formed. How does this relate to gardening? There is a fungus (relax, it's not bad or poisonous) that has symbiotic capabilities with any plant that you grow in your garden. The fungus is called Mycorrhizae (MIKE-or-EYE-zee) and it lives underground. What it does is attach to the roots of plants and grows downward, deeper into the soil than the plant's roots can reach, creating a large fibrous network of tube-like structures that reach down into the soil to get water and nutrients for the plant that the plant couldn't otherwise reach on its own. It almost acts as an extension of the roots. In return, the plant gives the Mycorrhizae sugars made from photosynthesis. From the perspective of the Mycorrizhae, this amount of sugar is more than it could get on its own without the plant, making it a symbiotic relationship. The overall result, the plant grows bigger, is healthier, and yields more for harvest than it would without this beneficial fungus.
You can buy Mycorrizhae at the store or online, and all you have to do is sprinkle it in your garden
On the left is a basil plant that was given the Mycorrizhae fungus, and on the right was the control: basil not given the fungus
One of the things I learned was to compress and bandage severe bleeding.
Recently I was on a camping trip when a friend split open his lip when a piece of firewood hit him in the mouth while chopping.
Firm compression with wadded gauze, after about 15 min, stopped the serious blood flow.
But I was at a loss as to how bandage the wound once the bleeding has stopped.
So how does one bandage a mouth wound, especially a lip?

I've been ordering some ASEs from Aydin Coins and Jewelry online and from the time I placed my order it is taking right around 10-11 days before it arrives in my mailbox.
Is that others' experience as well with other companies or does this seem slow?
Could you post the company you order from and how long it takes to get to your doorstep/mailbox?
If it makes any difference I usually buy small orders, 5 ASE at a time because it is slightly discounted and I like the free shipping.
ETA - I get the shipping notice right around 5-6 days after I place the order. ]]> Financial Forum powderandprimers http://ift.tt/1WqkTSr http://ift.tt/24ksBQN Wed, 27 Apr 2016 17:55:33 GMT Three months ago, I installed a Cycle Stop Valve (CSV) and removed the large pressure tank after doing the same for a neighbor over a year ago. ...

Running wouldn’t be so bad if it was just running. It was the always carrying something while running. Well the carrying while running with boots and long pants on. No it was more the carrying while running with boots and long pants on and a Vietnam surplus flak jacket. Actually it was the carrying while running with boots and long pants on , wearing a Vietnam surplus flak jacket and a steel pot helmet. The old flak jacket and steel pot were veterans of many other users and didn’t just stink, they stank! They were passed out a week before course and victims well students tried all manner of ways to clean the stank. It didn’t work, maybe a little but just a little.
At least they didn’t run us far sometimes as little as 100 yards, usually 200 to 400 yards and occasionally up to 800 yards. However they us ran over and over and over for what seemed forever but in real life was 45 minutes. Tactical Medic selection a joyous long , unpaid weekend. Everyone was at least an Emergency Medical Technician – Basic, but most were at least Emergency Medical Technician – Intermediate with a few Paramedics and even a registered nurse thrown in.
--- days or was it just hours earlier ....
Selection was Friday through Monday. Friday meant 12:01 am, a pair of candidates racing toward the building at 12:04 were sent home. At 12:10 am a 25 question multiple choice test was given, right on the gym floor. At 12:30 am the PT test started a one mile run in boots, long pants, long shirt, flak jacket and steel pot. The run wasn’t that challenging with a 10 minute time limit. Before the next event two candidates were removed for failing the written test.
The next test was pull-ups, again it wasn’t overly challenging. The standard was three good pullups wearing boots, long pants, long shirt, flak jacket and steel pot. Everyone passed.
The final test of the night was pushups while the standard was twenty, in the now customary wearing boots, long pants, long shirt, flak jacket and steel pot, candidates were encouraged to do at least twenty two in the http://ift.tt/1Mc39If. Again everyone passed.
At shortly after 1:15 am they assembled in the gym of the unused high school. The program director addressed them. “I am Dr. John Henry Holliday." A few chuckles from the class. "While I am technically Dr. John Henry Holliday MD, FACEP and Professor of Emergency Medicine most people do call me Doc. Most of you know I'm also a sworn police officer and member of several SWAT teams including the city, county and State Police. I have a cadre that will be helping us throughout the course. The course will include didactic lecture, practical exercise , physical training and written tests. If you're still with us say 1900 on Monday you will be probationary members of the Tactical EMS unit. Once you complete the qualifications in the probationary stage, usually six to nine months though some do it in a few as six weeks, you will move to the apprentice phase and go on actual call outs with SWAT."
"On those tables", he motioned to the end of the gym, "are GI foam sleeping pads and poncho liners, they make a very comfortable bed." Laughs. "Ok they make a somewhat marginal bed. The other table is your food for the day, a First Strike Ration, 2,900 calories of delicious. You get one per day. Bone appatitie. There are locker rooms at either end of the gym. One is a ladies locker room the other is the men's. Use the one that best matches your anatomy. If you're unsure we're all medical professionals here consult with your colleagues. If you still can't come to a consensus let me know, I have to see that! Until told otherwise the only rooms you go into are the gym and the locker room that matches your physiology. At 0600 tomorrow you will be formed up military style in front of the gym, three squads. Lights out in 15 minutes. Welcome and good luck."
Five minutes later I had a poncho liner, foam pad and a MENU 3 Ration featuring a Honey BBQ Beef Pocket Sandwich. I found some real estate in the middle of the floor and made 'camp' such as it was. I thought about breaking into the ration pack when the lights went out. It was 1:35 am , I set my watch to 5:00 and tried to sleep .... ]]> wtr100 http://ift.tt/1WqkVJY http://ift.tt/24ksC7f Wed, 27 Apr 2016 17:37:55 GMT We need to share the Good News with our neighbors.

(There's another thread about it where I ask people on advice and talk to them in general...)
Before we start, and I honestly am not trying to brag or present myself as a super duper survival ninja commando warrior - but a week outside is not out of my physical\mental limits, and this was supposed to be the great vacation to give me some time apart from the outside world.
Unfortunately I guess this was not meant to be, and here's more or less how it went:
Day 1:
- I begin the hike later than I would have preferred. I wanted to start at sunrise and drive to my location, but I had to turn in a paper to my university which set me back a couple of hours. Instead, I arrive to my destination at 14:00. My starting point is at Kibutz Dan - way up in northern Israel, north to Kiryat Shmona. It's a fine hot Israeli day with no one around but myself, my backpack and two naked girls sunbathing topless... wait... what?!
- Two naked chicks! Yes! This is a good start! So yeah, I kid you not... there were two naked girls of (I guess) legal age sunbathing topless on the grass of the kibutz. I was confused... what do I do now? Do I go? Do I stay? Do I buy them a drink and the three of us film a short documentary on us playing pin the donkey? Then I remembered that I was married and with my head hung low I realized that I won't ever have sex with an eighteen years old girl again. Guess it was time to start walking.
- On the exit of the Kibutz there is a memorial to two Jewish soldiers dying on one of the many battles of the north. A small but grim reminder of where I live, and the cost of living there. (As if the freaking rent wasn't high enough!)
- The trail was a bit confusing but I think I made it to the Shnir stream - a stream of water I was supposed to cross on my trip. Alas - turns out that it's a national reserve and that it costs money to enter. Also turns out that it's open until 16:00 and I came there at 16:19. Well screw me gently, now what?! I was standing in front of a large security gate with big signs saying no entry was allowed and that any perpitrators would be punished. Yeah...
- So as not to incriminate myself any further I would skip describing the next part of my trip, but I will tell you this. From now on I will ALWAYS take a leatherman over a swiss army knife. A cutter is an invaluable tool, one an SAK just does not have. (Also... barbed wire sucks!)
- I'm walking walking walking. No more water streams nor naked women. Just me myself and the trail. I'm making rather good progress. I try to take a 15 minute break every two hours of walking, just to let my feet breathe and check for blisters. So far so good.
- At some point towards the end of the day I got a bit lost and sidetracked away from the trail. That cost me about an hour and a half of walking and by the time I got back to the trail it was already dark. I made sure I was now on the right path and set up my tent. Sleepy time!
- Ok so I may have miscalculated the warmth of Israel a bit and realized that it was bloody cold inside said tent! Luckily - I had a small survival blanket (one of those 2 dollar cheap stuff you buy from china... yeah... don't laugh at me). It made a HUGE difference and I managed to sleep the rest of the night peacefully.
Day 2:
- I wake up with an eery pain in my left knee. What the shikesies is that? Oh well, it'll probably go over in a bit. I gather my gear and start walking.
- I arrive to Kefar Giladi - the resting place of the warriors who fell at the battle of Tel Hai. An impressive monument in the form of a roaring lion stands over their burial place. All eight of them were initially buried in a mass grave, but their bravery was immortalized in the form of the lion statue. May they rest in peace. Oh... there was also a statue of Moses around there for some reason. I have no idea why or what for.
- Climbing up to Kefar Giladi was not so difficult, and from it leads "The Path of the Wounded" - a man made path through a forest, through which the wounded of Tel Hai were transfered to Kefar Giladi for treatment\burial. It's walking down hill and at some points there are man made steps. My left knee dislikes those steps. It cries with pain with every step, reminding me that something is wrong. I don't know much about knees but I tell myself that when I get out of this road\forest - I'm going to give it a rest.
- I'm resting now and as I lie lazily on the side of the trail I meet another traveller. We share some food\drinks and decide to keep walking together. He is no, I repeat, NOT a naked chick. Oh well, lightning can't strike naked twice.
- Up ahead of us is a climb of several hours to a top of a mounain. I think that I'm doing rather fine myself, when my newly found companion suddenly asks me if there is something wrong with my knee. I say that yes and ask how did he know - he tells me that he's a cyropractor and he sees that I'm walking with a locked left knee - which indicates I can't bend it properly. Well hot damn... it's a knee doctor. It's even better than a naked chick at this moment! You just can't make this stuff up... (Well, you could... but I'm not. Honestly.)
- He examines the knee but sees no swelling\visible damage and I assure him that I can take the pain and continue with the climb. We climb that evil cursed mountain up that road for a couple of hours and by the time we finish the ascend I want to chop that foot clean off. All this time that we walked we kept hearing artillery fire from the Syrian border. I know that there's a sort of a civil war there and let me tell you - those guys aren't taking any lunch breaks! Well good for them. Let them keep at it I say.
- We now begin the descent to lower elevation, through a natural field of stones, rocks and other evil objects on to which my injured foot would stumble every thirty seconds. Going down was painful, but each bump would send my injured knee bending in so many unwanted directions that I cried and moaned as if I was an adult film actor. And it was not of one of those gentle films with plot and foreplay - oh no, it was one of those films with whips and ball gags and other things that just should NOT be in there!
- It's about 17:00 now, I have been walking on and off for 10 hours with an injured leg. We have finished the descent and I know now that I won't be able to continue tomorrow. I'm limping on one foot, pondering where I can call for evac and go home. According to our maps there is a border police outpost we should be stopping by - but that's another couple of miles. Normally I could have done it in an hour. Now - I do it in three.
- It's 20:00, we arrive to the outpost, an old fortress probably left abandoned now. I call my emergency number for evacuation and tell him my coordinates. (It was my dad. Yes, I called my parents to come pick me up. I am so manly!)
- As I sit there waiting for my ride to come, I feel bummed out of my skull. My seven days trip turned into a two days one, and I just know I'll have to lie in bed and mope for a couple days more. The good news are that I now know that there was no permanent damage and that I'm pretty much certain I'll do this trip again.
The end. ]]> Wilderness Survival, Hiking and Camping Forum BadExample http://ift.tt/24ksDYN http://ift.tt/1WqkUG5 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 14:50:05 GMT Can anyone point me towards a forum or other on-line resource to begin understanding more about school buses?
