Retired Air Force Officer: ENDA Embodies Fundamental Military Values
October 28, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Adam Bradley, HRC Communications Intern
In an op-ed for the Scranton Times-Tribune, Hal Donahue—a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force and a former business executive—described the "core military values" he recognizes in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
"I didn't serve my country so that hardworking Americans could be fired simply because they're gay," said Donahue. "Passing ENDA is critical to securing and advancing the freedoms our country has always stood for."
HRC is proud to be a member of the Americans for Workplace Opportunity campaign – a bipartisan campaign to pass ENDA. You can take action and learn more at workplaceopportunity.org.

Travel west on 193 for about a mile. It will be on the left side of the road on top of a hill. From I-15 take exit 334 and go east about 4 miles. It will be on the right on the top of a hill.
Mike, Nic, and Tony remain in their possitions after elections, but Tony will be moving so we will need a new secretary/ treasurer.

Hestia luminaires were specified to illuminate the pedestrian walkways, paths and landscapes at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
DURBAN, South Africa – To deliver the right light during the 2010 FIFA World Cup event, Schréder Hestia luminaires were specified to illuminate the pedestrian walkways, paths and landscapes at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Schréder's Hestia family of luminaires was chosen in various lamp configurations to meet the stadium precinct's specifications to ensure the correct photometric solution. Hestia luminaires were installed on the access walkway from the beachfront and along Isaiah Ntshangase Road. The luminaires were also placed on the section of road in front of the stadium on Masabalala Yengwa Avenue. Schréder lighting solutions were supplied and distributed by BEKA, which is based in Olifantsfontein, South Africa and is a member of the Schréder Group G.I.E.
Hestia, which is also available in the U.S. and Canada through Schréder Lighting USA, integrates a compact design with high photometric performance and style in street and pedestrian lighting.
Hestia offers the following features:
•Crafted of cast aluminum and glass.
•Designed around the Sealsafe micro-reflector for photometrics.
•IP66 rated to prevent dust and water ingress.
•Impact resistant.
•Dark sky complaint.
Crafted of aluminum and glass, the Hestia was designed around a new miniaturized reflector. Less space for the optical compartment results in more space for the creative liberty granted to the designer, offering opportunities for new lighting solutions.
The right light is achieved with optimal point-source lamp positioning inside the optical unit, which delivers a higher level of light flux on the ground surface without light pollution and spillage.
The Sealsafe optical chamber enables the luminaire to sustain maximum photometric performance over long periods of time.
3032E and 3038E are the newest additions to the compact utility tractor line.
Oxalic acid will target varroa mites, which are a threat to honeybee colonies.

saving wood ash
What is a good way of keeping (a lot of )wood ash usable?
I don't want to buy a container and would prefer to keep them outside . as I have seen suggested.
But they will inevitably get damp if I dig them into a hole in the ground and cover them.
Will a bit of dampness matter so long as they are not subjected to direct rain- or will I have to ensure they remain powdery dry for when I want to apply them in the spring ?
It is more difficult to spread when damp. Covered in a hole probably you won't lose a lot of the nutrients, and the edges will get clumpy while the inner part will stay dry - if it's well covered. If you garden area is small you can simply spread the ash at planting time by mixing it in water and pouring into the rows.
I keep mine in those galvanized metal trashcans. You can probably find a container free at recycling center, I would think.
If the wood ash gets wet, it will slowly release leachate to the surrounding soil, and the leachate will be very alkaline. The advantage of storing and applying wet ashes, as opposed to dry ashes, is that there will be little or no dust generated, so one could argue that keeping them wet is a good thing. I would not put down ashes on our garden, because the soil here in Madison, Wisconsin, is already high in pH, around 7.6, and ashes would raise the pH even higher.
Before your do this, are you sure they will be good for the soil? Have you had a soil test that indicates the ash will make up for a deficit?
(I ask because it's an unquestioned assumption that all soils can benefit from wood ash, and they don't.)
If you store them in a pile or pit they will leach out into the surrounding dirt and make a very alkaline dead spot.
And they will solidify and turn into clumps.
Why don't you want to apply them as soon as you clean the fireplace or stove - work your way around the garden with the application, one small area at a time.
thanks for all the replies.
@lazygardens I thought if I applied it now that it would leach away with the heavy rain we get and that by the time growth started it would have sunk below root level.
I always throw them around the base of the fruit plants I have -like the currants and the apples.
I never considered I could be overdoing it.To tell the truth I have never noticed any benefit from the practice seeing as I don't get around to treating them all -I cannot tell which ones have been treated from which haven't. .
But it is such an accepted advice to throw the wood ash around the base of fruit trees that I do it practically automatically .
There is a good chance that you have typical soil for Ireland, and that you can find out more about the native soil by visiting an appropriate web site, such as a university soil test lab. There are soils that benefit from applications of wood ash, and soils that are already high in pH, and will likely not benefit.
If you're sprinkling and not dumping, it may not change the pH much at all. The alkaline part will dissolve and leach away rather fast, leaving insoluble minerals behind. Some useful minerals like P will stay around longer - P tends to bind to the soil. So putting it on in the winter is not a bad thing, it gives a chance for rain and snow to leach out the alkali.
People have sprinkled ash for centuries, so as long as you do it in moderation, it's probably just fine. It is good to know about your soil conditions though - if your pH was already high or you had excessive phosphorus, cutting out the ash would actually be a positive.

Bobcats take methodical approach to Class 6A transition
The transition to Class 6A began long before Byron Nelson started spring football workouts in late April.
The start time really was last October, when Nelson turned in its enrollment figures and worked under the premise that it would be moving up to highest classification in Texas high school athletics.
However, head football coach Brian Polk said there really hasn't been a drastic change in the way this program conducts its day-to-day affairs. Every philosophy is different, but Polk's track record with the school demonstrates the methodical approach works. Nelson went to the playoffs in two of its first four years and has won at least seven games in its previous three. Nelson moves into District 5-6A with Northwest, Keller, Keller Central, Keller Fossil Ridge, Keller Timber Creek, Denton Guyer and Denton Ryan.
"We haven't really hyped it up," Polk said. "The only thing we can do is control what we can control and that's working hard every day. We can't worry what the rest of the district is doing. Really, where the line is divided in 6A is your depth and how you can keep it going throughout the season."
Nelson is going to be one of the smallest schools in the district. The depth and overall makeup of the team is going to likely be seen in the offensive and defensive line. Polk isn't going to hold to it but he said has been working out six to eight players on both lines.
One of those is junior defensive end/tight end Kellen Diesch (6-6, 250). Look for him to get extensive time. He is intriguing. Polk said Diesch can move to inside receiver and create a matchup problem for safeties. His only 2013 reception was a 12-yard touchdown.
"We lost so much size, but Kellen is one of our mainstays," Polk said. "He's got great hands. On defense, his reach is great so he'll create problems for quarterbacks. There's a chance he could be 6-7 by the time we start the season."
Haire's offense
By starting the last five games of 2013, junior quarterback Preston Haire (5-11, 180) has command of the Bobcats offense.
While Haire understood the mechanics of the game and put in the film study time, Polk wanted to see a different element to his game – leadership. If a team rallies around its quarterback, then it's a good sign.
Offensive options
If the offensive line stabilizes, it will help the running game, which could be the best that it's ever been at Nelson. For starters, there is senior Courtney Miles, who is coming off a 1,081-yard, 12-touchdown season.
"He had a great offeseason, and I think he could have a really good year for us," Polk said. "We have some other guys on committee who have shown some good things."
Then there is Carrollton Newman Smith transfer junior wide receiver Brandon Bowen (6-4, 210). Because of his mother wanting to be closer for work, Bowen brings varsity experience and playmaking ability. He played defensive end for the Trojans last year. The switch personifies the athleticism.
"Everything he does is pretty spectacular," Polk said. "When he gets in the open field, you could see something really special."
Nelson held its spring game on May 23 at the NISD Stadium, after the Times-Register's early holiday deadline.

The rapid and drastic process of secularisation in Europe over the last few decades has not diminished the unease with which it views Islam and Muslims. Most British Muslims consider religion the most important thing in their lives, as per most surveys. The right to cultural difference has become an obligation for a majority of Muslims in the West. The basic paradigm of secularisation — that the more a society modernises, the more secular it becomes — has failed. The higher the educational qualification of a Muslim woman in the West, the greater her inclination towards religion. One reason may be that women see their Islamic identity as a sign of moral superiority over their non-Islamic environment.
Raoof Mir,
Until the late 19th century, the 'hijab' was neither a central nor universal practice in the Islamic world. The full 'hijab' was traditionally worn by aristocratic women as a mark of status in Egypt. At the same time, we must understand that Muslim women feel the 'hijab' frees them from the constraints of some aspects of western modernity. The demand that they abandon the 'hijab' will only exacerbate the fear among some that the West is bent on the destruction of Islam, and make women cling more fiercely to the 'hijab' which, for them, symbolises resistance to oppression.
K.S.M. Sheik Mohamed,
Keywords: Islam, hijab, culture, secularisation

Alstom Transport won a $194 million contract to execute the complete overhaul of the Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) metro fleet. These trains, which run from Philadelphia to nearby suburbs in Southern New Jersey, carry approximately 40,000 riders each day.
PATCO's metro transit system consists of 120 passenger cars, many of which have been in operation since the system's 1969 opening. Work on the five-year project is scheduled to begin in February 2011. This contract is the largest capital improvement project in the history of the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA), the regional transportation agency that owns and operates PATCO.
The PATCO fleet modernization will deliver a superior rider experience by improving both internal and external systems. The cars will be enhanced with a full range of equipment and technology, including new couplers, car-borne propulsion technology and modern braking systems, automated train control (ATC) equipment, door operator and control systems, interior finishing including lighting and seats, air-conditioning systems, new communication and information displays.
The entire refurbishment and testing process will be driven by Alstom's TLS (Train Life Services) teams and will take place in Alstom's rolling stock manufacturing facility in Hornell, N.Y.
Experts at Alstom's Hornell facility will also perform on site testing of the completed cars to ensure safety and reliability.
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

Beautiful Home
This home was a jewel to find. We had a fabulous time in the home with our family. The home is extremely clean and having air conditioning in all the rooms is a plus after a long hot day at the beach. The location is perfect with great access to the beach and the amenities the hotel next to the home offers. The pool provides a nice break from the beach and we pretty much had it to ourselves the whole time we were there. Jose the property manager is wonderful. He arranged for all of our transportation while we were in Costa Rica. He shared tips and insights of the country. Jose arranged for several tours for our family and took care of all the details, so we just had to show up. Our trip would not have been as enjoyable without Jose. The house with Jose's assistance and knowledge was the perfect combination. If we make it back to Costa Rica, this home will be our first choice.
Excellent stay in the Clouds!
The accommodations were excellent and the views amazing. Spent our mornings having breakfast on the patio and a swim in the pool. Ended our days with drinks by the pool and enjoying the lights of Uvita. Saw monkeys with the help of Alex and Stephanie. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. We had delicious meals at Sabor Espanol, Citrus, and Exotica, would definitely recommend those to everyone. We also spent a couple days on the whales tail exploring and snorkeling. What an amazing national park this is. Be careful of high tides.
The Best!
If you are looking for a great beach house that has privacy, no crowds, that is truly oceanfront ,(just a seldom traveled dirt road outside the gate and you are right on the beach, really!) this is your pick. Honestly, I have been coming to the Hermosa area for years, and you will not find a more nicely landscaped oceanfront property here. Unlike the packed in Hermosa Palms or bungalow developments, here you will have peace and quiet with the beach mostly to yourself. A short drive or walk brings you up to the main costanera, where there are numerous amenities. I spent hours under the shade of a beautiful tree next to the pool, and there was always an ocean breeze. Behind the house is a beautiful undeveloped area where you can walk trails and see plenty of beautiful flora and fauna. I felt very safe with the house under patrol by a guard at night. This house is perfect for families, and my little dog sat for hours watching for the iguanas to come out of their hiding places! Very accessible (do not need 4WD) and centrally located to many attractions. Absolutely fabulous stay, thank you Beth and Jack!

Episode Reviews (1)
The long and winding road
This episode was quite a revelation. In the last episode Bridget, Ray learned that Bridget arms were dislocated by his brothers horseplay and not from abuse by Mickey. In this episode it is hard to tell if Mickey killed the agent that was threatening him because he didn't want to ruin his movie deal or because despite the fact his son Ray framed him and sent him to prison for twenty years, he still wants to protect his family. Mickey and Ray have much in common. They both operate by breaking the law to get what they want and still try to remain respectable in society. They are confident in their schemes. But, the hardest thing for them to do is be a family.moreless

In an extremely well crafted account of Saadat Hasan Manto's contemporary relevance to the subcontinent and his place in its intellectual history, "Curator of a hollowed conscience," (May 11), Ayesha Jalal makes a very significant methodological and political point. We are at a çrossroads of an animated debate on the crisis in the social sciences. Inter-disciplinarity across the social sciences and humanities is increasingly seen as critical to the reinvention of these disciplines. Politically, at a time of increasing polarisation and war-talk, speaking of historical and methodological possibilities that arise from the common builds new pathways for critical intellectual endeavour. What is Manto's place in the intellectual history of contemporary philosophy in this region? What are the ways in which we may dip into this history to understand our present? And what are the other works and creative forms that might help us excavate and better understand other realities and histories on the Indian sub-continent? Ayesha Jalal's article on Manto was a feast.
Kalpana Kannabiran, Hyderabad
The article offered an insight into the religious fanaticism that marked Partition. Incidents of communal violence still take place but we have no firm law to curtail such mindless acts. Ayesha Jalal must be thanked for reminding us who we truly are.
Mahesh Jada, Nellore
Such articles enable youngsters like me to visualise the violence that accompanied Partition. The details in Manto's riveting stories clearly send a strong message to religious fanatics that knives, daggers and bullets cannot destroy religion.
Mohit Goyal, Sriganganagar
The article was moving. Partition, a blot on the subcontinent, continues to haunt us to this day. When people living together for generations succumbed to a divisive tendency and wrought havoc on one another in the name of religion, writers like Manto stood out. The catholicity of his outlook and his dispassionate views, rising above all parochial considerations, need to be lauded. His writings on the happenings during Partition with neutrality and impartiality should be read by all to understand things in the proper perspective.
R. Ramanathan, Coimbatore
Manto's unprejudiced effort to create a parallel history of Partition through fictional narratives is excellent because his writing was not affected or manipulated by any stream of social, political, religious or communal associations. His characters — perpetrators and victims — generally came from the lower strata of society. Toba Tek Singh, a mentally challenged farmer, Mangu Kochwan, sex workers, labourers, fanatics, etc., give a strong message that Manto was a writer of the common man, for the common man.
Bhavesh Kumar, Hyderabad
Manto's lines in Sahai "Don't say that a hundred thousand Hindus and a hundred thousand Muslims died. Say two hundred thousand people died. The tragedy, in truth, is that those who killed and those who were killed, both have nothing to show for it" are immortal. Such humanist is rare to come by these days.
S.K. Abdul Matin, Hyderabad
I wish the article hadn't reduced Manto to being a chronicler of events during Partition. Manto was as much a recorder of basic emotions like adolescent infatuation, lust, racial discrimination and gender bias in stories like Blouse, Odour, The Kingdom End and A Woman's Life, as he was of the cataclysmic after-effects of Partition in his masterpieces like Toba Tek Singh and Cold Flesh.

So what you're saying is, the world is a simulation centered right around Sol, and we're suffering from IEEE 754 floating-point imprecision ?
Well if it were a simulation, it wouldn't really have a center, just one or more "cameras" creating observable datasets. I suspect "they" would have a "camera" near anything sentient to keep them from completely freaking out. Maybe once a sentient being can prove they are in a simulation, as a reward for their cleverness their consciousness will be transplanted from the simulation to the "real world" where they will join the ranks of the "gods". No doubt pure bullshit, but it's fun to think of such things.

Chelsea remain in my heart, says Mourinho as Abramovich closes in on deal to bring back Special One
It was less elaborate than a kit skip he once used to avoid detection from UEFA officials and less obvious than the mask Fernando Torres is now wearing to protect his broken nose.
But Jose Mourinho was at Stamford Bridge on Monday night in disguise, hidden beneath a hoodie as he stood among unsuspecting supporters to watch Brazil play Russia.
By Tuesday, however, Mourinho was not disguising his passion for Chelsea and his desire to return to England and the Barclays Premier League.
Return: Jose Mourinho has said Chelsea remains 'in his heart' as speculation of a second spell at Stamford Bridge grows
revealed on Tuesday that Roman Abramovich wants him back for a second
spell as Chelsea manager and that a deal is all but agreed, but Mourinho
was not prepared to confirm it.
He was quick to stress that he is the manager of Real Madrid and that his focus is on guiding them to Champions League glory this season. Not to mention more domestic success.
But Mourinho has never been shy in expressing his love of this country — he even described the English press as 'the salt and pepper of my day' — and Tuesday was no exception.
'I can't deny, in spite of this
disgraceful weather, that I love it here,' said the self-anointed
Special One in an interview with Sky Sports.
Good times: Mourinho with his Chelsea team after winning the Premier League title in 2005
Reunion: Mourinho is believed to be close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich
'I have big emotional connections with Chelsea. One day I think I have to go back to English football, to Chelsea or another club.
'Chelsea are in my heart, so one day I have to go back. We have a house here, our daughter is coming to study in London so being in London is a very normal thing for us.
'But every time I come and people see me walking or shopping people start making connections. I feed it because I say every day when I have a chance that I love it here, that I spent a fantastic time here, that I will return. I give a little contribution to the speculation, but just because I love it.'
He loves the mischief too, discussing
the jobs he has been recently linked with and even wishing his great
adversary, Rafa Benitez, well.
That said, he referred to Sir Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini by their first names. Chelsea's interim manager was 'Benitez'.
The King: Mourinho said he wished his friend Sir Alex Ferguson could carry on for ever at Manchester United
'I was in Manchester three weeks ago
and the weather was much nicer,' he said. 'I had a lot of fun with Sir
Alex by texting him even on the day of the match and I was saying: "What
is this fantastic weather in Manchester?".
'But Manchester is Sir Alex's kingdom
and I would love that job to be his job for ever. Of course it cannot
be but I would love it to be for many, many, many more years.
'In the other chair in Manchester is Roberto. He was champion so I don't think there is a move there and I hope everything goes well for everybody. Even for Benitez, I hope everything goes well for him and they finish the season very, very well.'
Mourinho insisted his mind is occupied by affairs in Spain. A successful defence of the title might look beyond him — Madrid are 13 points behind leaders Barcelona — but there is a Spanish Cup final to contest with Atletico Madrid and a Champions League quarter-final with Galatasaray.
Friend or foe? Current Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez (left) and Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini (right)
'At the end of the day I am in Madrid, I am very committed to the ambitions of the club for the rest of the season,' he said. 'We are in the last eight of the Champions League, we have a final to play against our rivals, so people know I am professional and that at this moment I only think about my job at Real.'
A third European Cup is what he wants
most right now. 'I won it twice and I feel privileged but 50 as a

Most likely a front tire that is out of balance. Have a tire shop inspect the tires and rims for damage or bad tires and have your tires balanced and rotated as required by a tire shop.

Soup Swap on National Soup Swap day
I just scheduled for 1st "party" for the new kitchen. January 26th is National Soup Swap Day so I have invited friends to a soup swap. Having never done this before I'm looking for any tips you may have.
I would like to model it after a cookie exchange which I have been to but never hosted.
Anyone do this? Any tips? It might seem like a long way off but the time will go fast.
You mean....everyone would bring a container of soup....and you will divide it up? or do you plan to eat all the soup then and there?
At a cookie exchange. usually, everyone makes enough cookies for everyone to have 3 or 4....and a few more for refreshments at the party.
Everyone is presented with a container...or asked to bring one, and for their 3 or 4 dozen cookies, they get to take home 3 or 4 dozen assorted cookies. Not sure how this will work with soup.
Searching brings up guidelines for having a party.
Here is a link that might be useful: Soup swap party.
Here are some of the details and my specific questions and concerns.
Have at least 6 people participate, what should be the limit if more want in?
Everyone will bring a container of soup for everyone attending plus 1 which will be used for everyone to taste.
How big should the containers be? Suggestions have been 1 qt or 1 1/2 qt? Family sizes range from 1 -5 people.
Some people say bring the soup anyway you want (container wise) others insist the soup is in ziplock freezer bags pre-frozen flat. I like containers better.
I will make sure there are a variety of soups and ask those attending to bring the recipe to share.
I will provide everthing else needed including desserts, bread, etc.
Now some of these events are real swaps where you would say I will trade you my chicken noodle for your potato soup. Others are just like a cookie exchange where you get 1 of each variety.
I don't want any hurt feelings from no one wanting to trade for your soup and there being a clear "favorite". I would like everyone to get 1 of each variety BUT being that I have a family of 4 I actually would rather have 2 containers of 3 types of soup than 6 containers each different. It really doesn't matter that much to me either way I just love soup.
Hope that all makes sense. If you were attending what would you like for sizes, container types, way to exchange?
That sounds like a great way to beat the winter doldrums, Debra. I have hosted soup parties but never a soup swap. I think the family size of the recipients is irrelevant because I'd rather go home with six smaller containers of different varieties of soup than fewer large containers. Larger families could have their own soup tasting with as many different soups as needed.
I would go with each person bringing seven containers (one for tasting and six for sharing) each containing three cups of soup. That equates to a cup more than five quarts of soup, which is about the maximum I'd expect anyone to make.
It wouldn't make any difference to me whether the containers were bags or more substantial ones. Note: Those reusable Ziplock lidded plastic containers in holiday colors are always drastically reduced after Christmas.
Six plus you sounds like an ideal number for the first try. Please let us know how it progresses. Have fun!

3 Lessons From 'The Dark Knight Rises' PG-13 Rating
12:48 PM PDT 4/9/2012 by Borys Kit
UPDATED: The classification is not unexpected, but it does expose some intriguing nuggets about the soon-to-be summer blockbuster.
The Dark Knight Rises, the new Batman film from Warner Bros. and director Christopher Nolan, has been rated PG-13. The move is not unexpected -- 2008's The Dark Knight had the same label -- but it does underscore some interesting tidbits about the movie.
- The rating means Dark Knight Rises is completely finished — sound and score included — more than three months before its July 20 release date. That's an unusual accomplishment for an epic tentpole movie these days, most of which are finalized just weeks before their release. The Amazing Spider-Man, which opens July 2, doesn't have a rating yet, nor does Prometheus, the Ridley Scott-directed sci-fi film set to open June 8. It also means the cut of the movie screened by Nolan for top Warners brass March 16 was far from a rough print and was close to his final version. The timeline highlights how efficient Nolan is as a filmmaker.
- The early rating also fires the starter pistol for the most aggressive phase of Warners' marketing plan, according to sources. As a follow-up to a movie that grossed $1 billion worldwide, hit status for Rises seems inevitable. But Warners clearly isn't leaving anything to chance: With three months to go and a ratings label in hand, the studio will be able to hone its message with laser-like focus. It also means Warners will be able to start screening the movie for tastemakers and critics. If it chooses to, of course. (UPDATE: Warners says Nolan could still make small technical tweaks to the movie, so it's not quite ready for screenings.)
- Finally, TDKR scored its rating for "intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language." The 2008 movie was considered envelope-pushing for its intensity -- some parents were left wondering why the Batman movie hadn't been rated R -- and the rating leaves no question that audiences can expect the same with the new movie. But by singling out "sensuality" in the label, the ratings board might be indicating that this movie has something new to show about the Caped Crusader. It might also preview a more emotional side of Nolan, whose films have been described as more cerebral than emotion-filled.

WANTED: I hope you understand...
As of March 1st, 2009 any SASE that I fill will have to include a printout of that SASE address page at WinterSown.Org.
Too many people have taken advantage of my generosity and published the Six Pack SASE address on websites or shared it through list-serves; the Your Choice Tomato SASE list is also circulating through emails, which is a shame because the offenders don't update the list and I have to deal with lists that are several months old and many of the varieties long exhausted--I'm the one who has to make apologies and send substitutes.
The problem is that people are just raiding my non-profit for free seeds without bothering to discuss or share info about Winter Sowing, which is why I started the Seeds for SASE programs; originally I had to give people seeds to get them to try it. Though Winter Sowing is now widely accepted and recognized by the USDA as a method I still continue to share seeds.
The address pages at WinterSown.Org have a neat little calendar application that shows the current date. If the printout calendar date is more than a week older than the USPS cancellation date on the letter the SASE is mailed in then the SASE is invalid, or if no printout arrives the SASE is also invalid. The instructions are clearly stated on the website.
I hope you understand, but the hemorrhaging has to end. I will still continue to share seeds but now a visit to WinterSown.Org and the dated address printout are required.
I think you're doing the right thing, Trudi. Folks have to realize that the postage is their responsibility and if they don't make an effort to use the current listing, then they need to be disappointed. The requirements for those things have always been on your website and no one should be surprised.
Those who post lists on other sites are guilty of causing the problem. A link to Wintersown would be okay, but why people post a list that is constantly changing is beyond intelligent comprehension.
You certainly have my support.
This is not at an unreasonable request. I'm only sorry that it had to get to the point of being issued. Hopefully, this will put an end to the problem and make your life a bit easier.
Thank you for all that you do for the Tomato growing community.
Thank you all.
The WinterSown.Org seed programs don't just benefit the average gardener, they also benefit organizations too. In the last month I've sent seeds to 4H clubs, Veteran's Administration Hospitals, community gardens that help foodbank clients, and most recently, 1500+ packs to Beltsville, MD where a youth education and outreach coordinator will share them among youth groups like 4H, FFA, Scouts, etc. In a few more weeks I'm teaching a senior group to sow and grow tomatoes; heritage plants are something they're very keen on learnig; heirloom tomatoes make that easy because there is something for everyone.
God bless everyone who has shared and cared!
Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing, not only your seeds but your knowledge. I've been gardening for many years but have avoided collecting tomato seeds because I did not like the idea of growing a smelly cup of mold. After I got my envelope back from you which included not only great seeds (including extras) but a nice leaflet on how to clean tomato seeds in 1/2 an hr. without mold, I decided it was time to start. Now I've alread collected my first tomato seeds and have done some research on cross pollination and am planning on bagging some blossoms and saving alot more seeds. If all work out I am planning on sharing. I planted 21 different varieties this year and am going to share my extra plants with neighbors.
Good gardening, Mary
