ULV stands for Ultra Low Volume and is defined as the lowest amount of liquid per unit area (chemical plus carrier) needed to achieve efficient disease and pest control. The volume of spray liquid is directly related to the droplet size, which is generally accepted as from 0 to 50 microns in the ULV spectrum, with 15-20 microns as the volume medium diameter (VDM). What does LV stand for? LV stands for Low Volume and refers to a larger droplet size. The volume of spray liquid is directly related to the droplet size, which is generally accepted as from 50 to 200 microns in the LV spectrum, with 75-150 microns as the volume medium diameter (VDM). The LV method is used for spot treatment in targeted areas, and to reduce drift in larger applications. What does a ULV Cold Fogger do? A ULV sprayer generates fog droplets by using a high volume of air at low pressure. Such a system enables droplets of a more precise size to be generated. The absence of a large number of very small droplets will limit the penetration of the fog into highly obstructed areas. ULV sprayers can dispense formulations in a more concentrated form since less diluent is required. Also, the ability to be able to calibrate the machine to produce droplets of the optimum size for the type of chemical being used make ULV spraying the method of choice whenever possible. What do you use a ULV Cold Fogger for? PEST CONTROL (Insectides, Fumigants) Warehouses (roaches, silverfish) Under buildings (roaches) In restaurants (roaches, flies) Kennels (flies, fleas) Stables, barns, chicken houses (flies) DE-HUMIDIFICATION (Fogging Water) Control humidity in guitar factories, wine barrel storage rooms, small greenhouses, plant preparation rooms. Keep dust down and humidity up during asbestos abatement. Evaporative cooling of barns and animal rearing facilities. SANITIZING (Biocides, Disinfectants) Food processing plants Transportation (cruise ships, airplanes, cargo containers) Pharmaceuticals packaging Production agriculture Hospitals Schools, daycare Veterinary clinics Homes and businesses ODOR CONTROL (Deodorants, Odor Neutralizers) Smoke odor removal from hotel rooms, meeting rooms Trash chutes in condominiums, apartments Kennels Solid waste transfer stations, landfills Sewage lift stations, treatment plants, lagoons Composting facilities Production agriculture: barns and rearing facilities, waste pits, lagoons Why do you use fogging equipment for these applications? Most biologically active chemicals (insecticides, fungicides, disinfectants and deodorizers) will give their best results if applied in small droplets between 10 and 100 microns in size, according to chemical type. However, droplets in this size range are highly susceptible to being drifted long distances by wind. This is why most outdoor (agricultural) spraying is done using droplets of 200 to 400 microns. Where wind drift is advantageous, or in a closed building, smaller droplets can be utilized to maximize the efficacy of the chemical and reduce application costs. What places can you use a ULV Cold Fogger? Apartments Barns Hospitals Hotels Refuse Sites Homes Processing Plants Vehicles Green Houses

NFL lockout is over! Well...kinda?

NFL lockout is over! Well...kinda?


KudoSurf Me!Follow @twittabloggaXtra Point Football

On Thursday and by a 31-0 vote, owners ratified a 10-year collective bargaining agreement that essentially ended the NFL’s four-month lockout. Are you ready for some football!!!!!!! However, before you get too excited you and the NFL players need to read the fine print.

images
The lockout has been lifted on the condition that players also ratify the CBA by next Tuesday. Unfortunately, the players are less than thrilled with the time line and many are tweeting that this is the latest PR move by the NFL.

Twitter God Ocho Cinco tweeted, “Wonder how many people understand the awesome strategic move that some genius came up with to shift the pressure n negativity on us.” Donte Stallworth followed with, “The NFL is not Suge Knight...they not gonna hang us out a window and make us sign something.”
Basically, the NFL owners voted on a 10-year agreement that splits the 9 billion dollar revenue stream 53-47% in the owners favor. The agreement increases the NFL minimum pay 10%, reduces off-season training camps, and modifies the rookie wage scale and contract length. Additionally, the agreement allows players unrestricted free agency status after four years as opposed to six.

The problem is the CBA has a deadline of next Tuesday. “We have not drawn a line in the sand here,” said Jeff Pash, the league’s top lawyer. “We are hoping that it will proceed expeditiously.”

I’m not a lawyer but saying ”Next Tuesday or Else” seems like a line in the sand? Furthermore, rumors are swirling that the NFL jammed last minute issues into the CBA and have specifically made the ratified CBA and deadline public as to sway public opinion of the players. Essentially, making the players look like the bad guys if they don’t accept the deal.

Depending on whom you ask, the players like, hate, or haven’t seen the proposed deal from the owners. The only certainty is the players must recertify as a union to address issues such as workman’s compensation and must also ratify the CBA or the lockout goes back into effect.

Stay tuned…..

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Biggest Needs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Biggest Needs


KudoSurf Me!Follow @twittabloggaVia Xtrapointfootball.com

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to build on their impressive 2010 campaign. Despite starting 10 rookies, an NFL record, the Buccaneers defied the odds and put together a solid 10-6 record narrowly missing the playoffs. The Bucs have talented young players galore but they have several weaknesses that must be addressed if they expect to compete during the upcoming season.

Defensive End:

What!? They drafted nothing but defensive linemen for the past two years. Da'Quan Bowers was considered the steal of the draft and first rounder Adrian Clayborn is a presumed starter for 2011. Why defensive end?

There’s a reason that Tampa used both their first and second round selections on defensive ends. Their pass rush was non-existent in 2010 and the organization lacks quality depth at either defensive end position. With the NFL lockout still in effect the Bucs excellent draft selections will have steep hill to climb in very little time. If you think about it, training camps are going to be over before these guys even figure out where the lockers rooms are much less learn the playbook. It’s unfortunate but a reality that many organizations are facing. As of now, the Bucs have two rookies who may or may not have the playbook plus the exact personnel from 2010 who recorded the NFL’s second fewest sacks (26). In our opinion, Tampa would be wise to free agents such as Giants Mathias Kiwanuka or Jets Shaun Ellis. Signing either of these vets immediately boosts Tampa’s pass rush while giving Clayborn and Bowers time to develop.

Interesting Note: the Bucs haven’t drafted a pro-bowl caliber defensive end since Lee Roy Selmon during their inaugural season in 1976.

Cornerback:

The Buccaneers will be in a real pinch if former first rounder, Aqib Talib, is suspended for his recent offseason arrests. Some reports suggest the Bucs are still pondering whether to continue their relationship or cut ties entirely with the former first round selection. Though the Bucs intentions may still be in the air, the NFL’s stance regarding violations of the “Player Conduct Policy” is very clear. If you the break the rules Roger Goodell will punish you. With that said, Talib is expected to miss games via suspension and this leaves Tampa’s secondary with little more than Ronde Barber and hope. Though Barber is always a presence teams will simply avoid his side of the field and exploit the rest of the Bucs young secondary. Adding a corner would address the Bucs immediate need with Talib’s likely absence while possibly addressing the long-term need of replacing the seemingly ageless Barber. Despite regressing in 2010, Jonathon Joseph comes to mind. The former South Carolina standout wants out of Cincinnati and would be a perfect fit in the Buccaneers aggressive defensive scheme.

Running Back:

I know what your thinking. The Buccaneers rookie LeGarrette Blount had a breakout season with over a thousand yards and six touchdowns. Why do they need another running back? Simply put, the Buccaneers have absolutely zero options beyond their rookie sensation. With Cadillac Williams not expected to resign the Bucs RB depth chart consist of fullback Earnest Graham and undrafted Kregg Lumpkin. Heaven forbid if Blount needs a play off, as the Bucs would be better off with a five wide zero back formation rather than trotting out their replacements. Adding an established veteran like DeAngelo Williams, Jerious Norwood, Darren Sproles, or Jason Snelling significantly improves the Buccaneers developing and very talented offense.

Arrested Players Effect NFL Teams 2011 Season

Via xtrapointfootball.com

Since the lockout began over twenty NFL players have been arrested for varying offenses and legal questions regarding the NFL’s ability to enforce punishment for those offenses are being raised.

If NFL players are restricted from receiving employee benefits are they still liable for their employee obligations? If players are under contract, despite currently being suspended, are they still accountable for breaches of said contract once they are activated? The legality of this question can be argued either way but most agree that once the lockout is lifted the NFL’s, “Player Conduct Policy,” will be in full force. With that said, when Roger Goodell hands down punishments for this offseason's twenty plus arrests which teams will be effected the most?

Tennessee Titans:

The Titans Kenny Britt has been quite active this offseason with 5 booked criminal offenses. He was arrested for eluding police, rendering false information, and obstruction of justice following a car chase in New Jersey this past April. In June, he was charged with resisting arrest and evidence tampering. Finally, Britt recently surrendered himself to Tennessee authorities based on multiple outstanding misdemeanor warrants regarding fraudulent applications.

The arrests have resulted in Britt’s unknown status with the Tennessee Titans, which further depletes an already underwhelming receiving core. If Kenny Britt is traded, released, or suspended the Titans receiving core would consist of Nate Washington, Justin Gage, and Damian Williams. Additionally, the Titans current quarterback is rookie Jake Locker who struggled to lead Washington University to a winning season during the 2010 NCAA season.

With little to fear in the passing game, teams will crowd the box and focus all of their energy in stopping Titans running back Chris Johnson. Furthermore, even if the Titans were able to sign a veteran quarterback, like Donavon McNabb, the wide receiving core is significantly weaker without Britt leading the way. It’s hard to see this team winning more than seven games with Kenny Britt much less without him. To top everything off, the Titans are in a division with potent offenses such as the Colts and Texans. With Chris Johnson as their only weapon, the Titans will have a difficult time scoring much less coming back from a deficit to win. Crazier things have happened but I don’t see the Colts and Titans having defensive battles with the Titans. It’ll be a shoot out and the Titans lack ammunition.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

Aqib Talib, the Buccaneers first round selection in the 2008 draft, was arrested in March for assault with a deadly weapon. The second-degree felony charges resulted from an incident where Talib is accused of firing shots at his sister's boyfriend.

The Buccaneers took great strides in 2010 based largely on consistent defensive play and breakout years from Josh Freeman, Legarrette Blount, and Mike Williams. Though their offense grew by leaps and bounds they are still quite young and yet to establish a full year of consistency. It follows, that if the Bucs intend to compete against the Saints and Falcons powerful passing attacks they will heavily rely on their defense.

The 2008 20th overall selection, Aqib Talib, has the most serious charges of all twenty NFL players arrested and is almost certainly facing a suspension. The Buccaneers passing defense was ranked 17th in 2010 and Aqib Talib was the second leading tackler for the Bucs defensive secondary. Though the Bucs still have the ageless wonder Ronde Barber he’s one dose of reality away from retiring. With the Atlanta Falcons receiving core consisting of Pro Bowler Roddy White, future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, and first rounder Julio Jones the Buccaneers are in serious trouble if they only have Barber. I haven’t even mentioned the former Super Bowl champions Drew Brees and company. Aqib Talib is only one player but the Buccaneers are in a division that requires two shut down corners and they’re almost guaranteed to be without one for part of the 2011 season.

Cincinnati Bengals:

The Bengals didn’t have an offseason player arrested until two weeks ago. Then a bad situation got worst. It’s no secret that Bengals QB Carson Palmer has been threatening retirement unless he’s traded. Palmer isn’t Manning but he’s a big reason that the Bengals haven’t embarrassed themselves over the past few seasons. With Cedric Benson’s recent arrest they may lose their running back as well. Benson was arrested in Texas for assault causing bodily injury. This is Benson’s second arrest and will most likely land him a suspension ranging from 2-4 games.

Granted, Benson is slated to become a free agent after the lockout ends but many speculated he would reunite with the Bengals especially after his successful 2010 campaign. With Carson Palmers situation in the air the Bengals will heavily rely on a strong rushing attack and there are limited options via free agency. Furthermore, reports have surfaced reaffirming Palmers strong stance in retiring unless he’s traded. If Palmer follows through with his threats he would leave the Bengals in the hands of QB Jordan Palmer , WR Ocho Cinco, and RB Bernard Scott. To make matters worse the Bengals are in the notoriously difficult AFC North Division.

On a lesser note, Adam “Pacman” Jones was also arrested for disorderly conduct while intoxicated. Jones has a two-year contract with the Bengals but had limited playing time with the team in 2010 steaming from a neck injury. If Pacman’s charges stick he may face a substantial suspension based on his previous transgressions.

Happy Birthday America! Your still the shit!

KudoSurf Me!Follow @twittablogga My Store! Check it out!

It's JULY 4th! Happy Birthday America! The United States has gotten bad press over the past few years but thankfully were the greatest country this world has ever seen. The financial markets are down but remember that the ENTIRE world feeds off of us. Thus, the world economy needs us more than we need them. So if your couffers are still low from the collapse, rest assured that most of the world is in much worse shape than you. Even CHINA!

The states abroad have negative feelings about how we handle ourselves in their countries. Remember that we are considered one of the "Grown Ups" in the world and are obligated to watch over our little chicklings as they development and fight for position with the world powers. Remember that the US fights for those who are unable to fight for themselves. Other countries may dislike us but MOST couldn't survive without us. Remind the American bashing on us because MSNBC told them it was true. Do them a favor and buy them a ticket to Ecuador (So called developed country) and ask them to document their travels especially how they like the goats on the landing field.

Last but certainly not least I'm tired of people asserting that we'll all be speaking Mandarin in the next decade or so. The Chinese economy is currently 20% of the US economy. They are growing extremely fast because they are CHEAP and no other reason. China is trying to become a PLAYA on the world stage. Here's why they WON'T pass AMERICA in my life time (I'm 27).

1) They can't continue to control everything. Communism or even quasi communism doesn't work and inevitably fails. Countries need control over their Peeps and in order to do so they use A) Fear and Violence or B) provide the ability to live a happy life. China can't kill their people without the world being turned off and investing their money elsewhere. Especially, if they want to run with the big boy United States. Thus, they have to provide a happy life for their Peeps. Currently, inflation is BOOMING in China as they are requiring almost 30% down to purchase a home. They are in the midst of a housing bubble and it's going to POP within 24 months. What does this mean? That means that peoples standard of living is decling because CHINA doesn't want to increase wages to it's peeps.

With the emerging wealth in the countries business sector people are realizing the power of business and commerce and more importantly their individual rights that empower them to be a part of said commerce. Thus, cheap laborers have started protesting for higher wages (It's already happening). It follows, that the qausi communist party gives a little to keep them happy aka to stay in control. Because if they don't then the citizens lose faith in qausi communism and start looking to other political powers. This process continues until their is a democracy. China is speeding up it's own political development via it's economy.

2) If more laborers protest for higher wages then the cost to produce products increases. Therefore, CHINA products are no longer cheap. Why is China's economy growing so fast? Because they offer the cheapest products in the world. THAT IS ALREADY in jeopardy and will continue to be as the country develops. Their economy has slowed because of recent inflation and wage hikes for employees. That will only increase as time passes slowing their economy to that of the worlds average pace. Thus, US will still hold a commanding lead.

3) They (China) FORCE all investors, individual and professional, to invest ONLY in Chinese investments. Which means that they don't allow their Peeps to invest in companies like GE or Facebook in the US. So 100% of money made in China stays in China. Well, that will change as PEEPS in China are already complaining about this. If their the most powerful country in the world then why can't their Peeps think for themselves? Thus, the people start to become unhappy (See step 1 above) and the cycle begins. Eventually, China will have to allow foreign investment and common sense says that the Chinese investors don't keep 100% of their eggs in one basket. Just common sense to diversify. Thus, China takes another economical hit.

What's my point? China is not the shit! The US is the shit and this is so despite being at it's lowest point in almost a century. We are still the leading power financially, economically, and military wise and will continue to be for some time. The transition of power won't happen in my life nor yours. So drink a beer, eat a hotdog, and get laid. Today's everyone's birthday!


Disclaimer:

If your from another country and reading this your probably thinking, "typical American ass." Normally, I don't run around screaming how great we are. Normally, when traveling abroad I mind my P's and Q's and respect the local culture and speak the local language. However, today is our day. No matter how you look at it were still the shit and will continue to be for some time. Whats that? Our debt? Puhleezee! The Obamacare will never be instituted. Social Security isn't a complex issue as it's only a 7% gap in solvency. The USPS becomes profitable by simply eliminating delivery on Friday and Saturdays. We are transitioning out of southern Europe/Asia and allocating our resources to the Mexican border thereby reducing Military Operational Cost. We are in the midst of reducing government funding and restructuring programs and entitlement programs. I'm sorry but when the world actively roots against us it's nothing more than "Penis Envy". Ours is bigger. Sure Russia and China could dump their US holdings and hurt us financially. But WHAT? WHATS THAT? They need us just as much as we need them? You mean to say that the US is intertwined throughout most of the global powers? Geeeee.....what a coincidence. Wonder how that happened? Either A) some peeps were riding the coat tails of others or B) some peeps didn't realize that they got in bed with someone who had long term backup plans. I'd apologize but like most of our country were tired of doing so via Obama. We're not sorry. We're have nothing to be sorry about. We took our turn in developing the world. You had Mesopotamia Iraq, Persians Iran, Egypt, China, Greeks, Romans, England,and now the US. I don't here any of the other dominate countries of this world apologizing. Eventually, someone will take their turn but not during my life time.

Happy Birthday America!
