From Kern California website; A sure fire way to control nematodes and many soil borne pests is the use of soil solarization. Soil solarization works well in the Southwest parts of the US but needs to been done in the summer months to get the most of its effects. Soil solarization entails wetting the soil to be treated thoroughly and then covering it with a clear plastic tarp. The edges of the tarp are sealed all the way around with soil. As the sunlight energy pass through the clear plastic tarp, it hits the soil and is converted to heat energy and is trapped by the plastic tarp. A cycling of heating and cooling occurs between the daylight and nighttime hours. Over a period of 2 to 3 weeks this heating-cooling cycle will kill may pathogens including nematodes. The key to making this work is doing it in the summer months, only wetting the soil once, and using clear plastic tarp. Adding shrimp or crab shell meal to the soil can also help reduce the nematodes numbers in the soil. The egg cases of nematodes are composed of chitin, as is the shells of crabs and shrimp. Adding shell meal to the soil increases the number of microbes that break down chitin, including the chitin of the nematode eggs cases. Shrimp and crab meal is sold as an organic fertilizer and can be found at organic garden suppliers. Lastly, there are some crops that can be grown that can have a nematicidal effect if turned under as a green manure. Green manure is the term used to grow a crop and then incorporate it into the soil while still being green. Excellent green manure cover crops for the summer would be sesame, sunn hemp and certain black-eyes peas such as Iron Clay. In the winter months plants such as mustards and certain marigolds turned under as green manure would help reduce nematode populations. French marigolds (Tagetes spp) such as "Petite Blanc," "Queen Sophia," and "Tangerine" work best. On variety "Nemagold" has actually been breed and sold for use as a nematicidal green manure crop. Avoid Signet marigolds (Tagetes signata or tennifolia) because nematodes can actually increase on these. Controlling nematodes in the garden begins with prevention and proper planning. If they do become a problem there are options a gardener can take. But controlling nematodes in the garden will make for a more bountiful harvest in the end.

1929 Model A Ford, 4 dr with window shade, roll-up, style curtains on rear side windows. Color black - was there any other color? 1949 Plymouth, 6cy, 2dr, 3-sp manaul, column shifter, Blue, the last of the fast back designs. (Horrible rear visibility) 1954 Dodge, 4dr, w/ Red Ram V-8, 3-sp stick. This one was not a large displacement engine, rated only at 140 hp, but was the smoothest running engine that I have ever owned. Color: White top over Blue bottom. 1960 Plymouth Valiant, slant six, 100 hp, automatic, 4 dr, blue. Low torque engine - couldn't get out of the way of itself. Good fuel mileage. No power steering - didn't need it - very good handling. The next year, a longer stroke engine was offered with much more torque. This one was very driveable and became the engine of choice. 1964 Dodge Dart, 273 cid V8, 4 dr, automatic, white w/red interior. This one was a good compromise between, power and fuel economy and room. I wish that I had another similar car today. This one was well liked. The engine was a thin wall cast version of the 318, but with a smaller bore. The bore centers were the same as the 318, thus it was manufactured on the same engine line as the 318. Many engine parts were interchangeable with the 318. 1969 Dodge Coronet, 4 dr, 318 cid V8, blue Just an ordinary sedan to hold my growing family. EPA fix-ups began to appear and degraded performance a bit without any fuel mileage increase - lower compression and a low ratio rear end ( 2.71 to 1) Though I put 115,000 miles on it before moving on. 1974 Dodge Sedan, 400 cid V-8. EPA had struck this engine hard. It was based on the admired 383 V8, an engine upgrade option for station wagons and police cars. To meet EPA requirements, Chrysler lowered the compression ratio and installed a very mild cam. The resulting power was so embarrasing that chrysler bumped the displacement up to 400 cu in to gain back a bit of performance. (An earlier 383 in good tune would run cicles around it.) 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 4 dr, V8. Bought used for a 2nd car and commuter. Had to put in a valve job after 1 yr ownership. As it neared the end of its life, sold it to a junk yard. I didn't want to see this on the road again as it had become dangerous. The body metal holding the rear body mounts had corroded away. The best part of this car: The radio. 1975 Buick Apollo, 270 cid V-8 (Oldsmoblie engine), 4 dr, Yellow. The smallest V8 made by GM. Not a good car. Was purchased as 2nd car for a winter-beater and comuter. Let my kids learn to drive with this one - they were not going to win any stop light drags with it. In fact, they were lucky go to get across a big intersection before the light changed to red. I bought this car during a period of runaway inflation. It was 3 yrs old and loosing value at a lesser rate than my hard earned cash in the savings account. That became part of my rationale for picking it up for a 2nd car. 1976 Buick Estate Wagon, 4 dr, 455 cid V8, Clam shell rear gate and window; 19 ft long! This one was the family land barge and vacation machine. The family had now grown to 5 and this station wagon held us all in comfort on long trips. This was the first year that GM put catalytic converter on all of the Buick line. (GM had put catalytic converters on a few select models the year before as a field trial.) With the converter, Buick put in a better cam and iginition advance curve and got better power plus 2 more miles per gallon. I garaged this one every winter taking it off the streets just before road salting began and it stayed off until next spring after a rain had washed away the salt. I kept this one 13 yrs and it was in very good condition the day I traded it in. It was showing signs of a catalytic converter plugging up, otherwise, the engine was in fine shape. 1980 Chevrolet Citation, V6, 4dr + hatch back, green, my first front wheel driver. A fair car. Had a very good useable interior layout and driver visibility - wished there was a car with those features today. Had too much braking on rear wheels compared to the front - gave the car a tendency to swap ends while braking on slippery surfaces. Over- sped the engine one time when the tranny failed to catch 2nd gear on a downshift - it went all the way to 1st gear at 45 mph. Loosened a rod bearing. GM got the steering geometry right on this one - no torque steer. The Chrysler K-car was plagued with torque ateer. 1983 Chevrolet Citation, V8, 4dr, white Engine was de-tuned a bit, but otherwise the same as the 1980. 1981 Pontiac Phoenix (twin of the Citation), 4 cy "Iron Duke", 4 dr., Brown. A dog. Served as a commuter. When climbibng a grade, engine vibration could be strongly felt in the steering wheel - each firing of the cyliners were perceptable. No. 2 son, a new driver, burned the engine up while driving home from a days outing with the guys. He had not been watching the oil level - it ran out. 1989 Dodge Dynasty, 4 dr, V6, Light blue 1st yr for Chrysler's new computer controlled transmission. It had issues - shifting algorithm should have been revised. It was programmed to give good results on the EPA fuel mileage test, but otherwise, was bad for commuting traffic. Car was too softly spring - people riding in back tended to get car sick. 1992 Dodge Dynasty, V6, 4dr, White. A much better car. Better handling. Held front alignment very well. Shifting algorithn improved, but still had glitches. I put 90,000 miles on it and sold it (cheaply) to my daughter. She moved out of state and later sold the car to her friend. By then, the rocker panels were holed out. I saw the car two years ago and it was still running with upwards of 140,000 miles on it. 1992 Jeep Cherokee, inline 4.0 L 6CY, 4dr, with part and full time 4-wheel drive, Red. Really liked this one. Gas mileage wasn't great, but it took us all over the lower 48 states and into places where an ordunary car could not go. We photograhed many interesting scenics using this vehicle. This one was my prime winter time driver - great in snow - can't beat it. 1998 Dodge Stratus, 4 cy, dual overhead cams, 4 dr, red. An OK car - not great, but OK. Its gets very good gas mileage on trips and that is what I bought it for. Runs great. I beem garaging this one very winter and there are no rust spots. 1998 Jeep Cherokee, in-line 6 cy, 4 dr, again with part and full time 4 wheel drive, Deep Amethyst Purple (appears black under many lighting conditions). Replaces the red Jeep which was getting body rust, but ran well - had 190,000 miles on it.

I posted this in home Decorating..but no replies so thought I'd also post here....This is where all the action is ..or so it seems... I am going today to get paint samples of creams, golds and greens to see what colors I want to paint new kitchen and den. Kitchen has very Creamy cabinets. If I paint my ceiling Dover white...What color should I do the trim? I will put my crown molding back up in the Den ...but won't have room for it in the kitchen.....Would love to keep the crown molding White.....Would that look OK if trim is same color as ceiling? OR should the Crown Molding be painted same as ceiling and trim? Thanks for your advice and suggestions One other thing that I forgot...Both Kitchen and Den has White Vinyl Windows...and in Kitchen I have white kitchen wood shutters (which I love and can't paint) and a White small pantry door.

That is such a great movie....thinking about it since I heard about Michael's death. Each and every character (and actor) was memorable....think about it. It's one of those films that gets better each time you see it. Michael's character and his performance were so moving. This movie is on TV pretty frequently. I'd look for it soon on one of your cable networks (like AMC or similar) soon.
