ok, here is an update. I was able to find the ingredients for the mix and since i live in the desert south west i am mixing the recipie for the high desert heat as follows: 4 parts turface 3 parts bark 2 parts crushed granite but i completly overlooked the 1 part vermiculite and did not noticed until i had already root pruned and repoted one of my citrus trees. I won't be able to buy the vermiculite until next payday (this friday). should i mix it in once i get it or will it be too much stress on my tree to be repoted in a few days again. I almost prefer to leave it alone until next spring, the area where i live is a good citrus growing area so i think it may just be fine. I will wait until i get the vermiculite to do the rest of the trees. what are your thoughts on that? has anyone kept tropical fruit trees in the gritty mix? i am trying to grow mexican papaya. I have read they don't get very big so i can kep them in containers but they don't like too much water because they can have root problems. I do have the seeds of a papaya i ate and i can experiment with a few different mixes combinations. Any ideas/sugestions for me? thanks for reading

each thumb flash drive will say what it holds for example it might hold 4 gig or 8 gig or less or more. It depends on what type files you will be storing, picture and video files are very large so will take up much more room than just text or document files. go to the folder of the files you want to backup to the thumb drive and right click on it and choose properties it will tell you exactly how much is contained in that folder so you would know you need a flash drive that is big enough to hold that much at least. I think 4 gig is a nice size and they are fairly inexpensive. I buy 4 gig Kingston drives at Big Lots all the time for $12. You can buy them at walmart, best buy, or any stores that sell electronics and computer stuff. I stick with the name brand ones like Kingston, San disk, corsair etc. Here is the link to some over at buy.com Results Within Our Stores general guide for using one Overview of How to use a USB Flash Drive

Yes there is vaccination against tetatus with tetanic toxid, it won´t prevent the clostridial infection but it will protect against the effects of the toxins produced by the bacteria, C tetani, like it´s cousin C Botulinum belong to a group of the Clostridium genera called NON TISSUE INVASIVE clostridia, while the other members of the genera can and will invade the tissues causing gangrene ( black leg, malignant edema ) seen most commonly in cattle. If tetatus is a matter of concern and if the animal is in the high risk group ( like a watch dog living in a junk yard ) then it is advisable to vaccinate the dog with the tetatic toxoid every 3 or 4 years. On the other hand, your dog going to the vet and getting tetatus after the visit only indicates poor higiene practices from the vet ( by using non sterile equipment ) something that should never ever happen. Why is it common in horses ? the reason is quite simple, horses are shoed and the way to attatch the shoe is with nails, see the relation ? the nail penetrates into the soft tissues of the finger and drives the bacteria inside the wound, exactly the type of wound that´s not ventilated and that has poor oxygen levels, a week later after the horse being shoed it gets tetatuns. It´s not common to see tetatus in dogs, I´ve only seen a couple of cases in more than a decade and a half of practice, but they can get tetatus. Symptoms include: Prolapse of the third eyelid ( you third eyelid or nictitant membrane displaces towards the middle of the eye and can be clearly seen ) Sardonic grin ( the lips are pulled back and the animal acquires a strange look, like it is smiling ) Tonic-clonic seizures. Breathing difficulty ( disnea ) The good thing is that the problem is treatable and the recovery takes only a couple of days in hospitalization.
