"When the foundations are being destroyed, what shall the righteous do?" (Ps 11:3). Thus begins Gene Veith's critique of the intellectual impact of postmodernism on culture. Unlike the plethora of contemporary "issues" books that take aim at symptomatic problems within society - issues such as political correctness, multiculturalism, decadence in art, or the capitulation of morals to the mass populace - Veith focuses on the intellectual headwater of the current flow of societal issues: the replacement of modernism with postmodernism as the dominant cultural worldview and the ramifications of such a paradigm shift to society, the arts, mass media, and religion.
Gene E. Veith, Jr. (Ph.D., University of Kansas) is Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Concordia University-Wisconsin where he also serves as Associate Professor of English. Postmodern Times (1994) is the last in the Crossway Books Turning Point series which centers on issues impacting a Christian worldview. Veith contributed two previous essays, Reading Between the Lines: A Christian Guide to Literature (1990) and State of the Arts: Bezalel to Mapplethorpe (1991) to the series. Other scholarly works include Reformation Spirituality: The Religion of George Herbert (Bucknell, n.d.), which was also his doctoral dissertation, and Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian Worldview (Concordia, 1993).
Postmodern Times: A Christian Guide to Contemporary Thought and Culture follows a nearly identical pattern to what Francis Schaeffer referred to as "The Line of Despair" (Francis Schaeffer, The God Who Is There [Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity, 1968] 15-16). Using the imagery of a staircase, Schaeffer argued that ideas in philosophy would in time make their way down to the arts. This would be passed down to mass culture, notably the media, and then to popular culture and society. The final step in the downward flow would be theology and ultimately the church. Veith takes the reader down the postmodernist staircase from the philosophic tenets of postmodernism, to its impact upon the several art mediums, to modern society and culture, and ultimately to religion and theology. His appraisal is both sobering and haunting for the church.
Unlike many philosophy texts, Postmodern Times is, by the author's admission (xiii), not a technical discourse on the complexities and technicalities of postmodernism. It is a concise, easy-to-read manual that outlines first the essential premises of postmodernist thought, and then sequentially the impact of such thought on the arts, society, and religion. The book is ideally aimed at college students who will have to deal with postmodernism within the academy. However, Christians concerned with societal trends, particularly intellectual issues, will benefit from it. Veith not only gives an accurate appraisal of postmodernism, but offers biblical responses that move beyond mere proof-texting at all levels. His section on "Deconstructing the Deconstructionists" is particularly poignant.
He draws a comparison between the fundamentalist-modernist controversies of the early part of this century, and the postmodernist-evangelical conflict that exists today. The difference, as Veith points out, is the earlier controversies had clear lines of demarcation. Christians today have largely failed to realize the extent of postmodernist incursions within their own circles. While evangelicals continue to focus on issues, limited attention is being drawn to the worldviews that give forth these issues. Postmodernism is not only an intellectual issue found in the university or the bohemian coffee house; it is found within our own homes by way of mass media, in the shopping malls we frequent, in the popular literature we read, and most tragically, within our own churches. The analogy of treating the "symptom" rather than the disease would seem particularly appropriate when discussing postmodernism and the outflow of this philosophy. Tragically, Christians have failed to recognize postmodernism as the dangerous philosophy it is, assuming it is only an intellectual problem for a few heady intellectuals or academics.
Thinking Christians will be well-served by this fine work. Though not a technical book, it offers a clear and concise analysis with a biblical rejoinder. Veith's question, "When the foundations are being destroyed, what shall the righteous do?," is answered in the next verse, "The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne." Christians have hope because of the existence of a sovereign God who is there and He is not silent. Postmodern Times: A Christian Guide to Contemporary Thought and Culture is a welcome and much needed critique of a movement that will impact our society into the next millennium.

I recently purchased x-wing and had child hood memories flood back of the original death star run. Then I found out I could field it at 100 pts. I have poored over the forums and have seem similiar builds to what I have but there is a slight change in my stratedgy. I would like to post the list and get some constructive feedback from more experienced players on my tactics. It is important to note I have not tried this list and as my only opponent is my spouse I get 1 game every three weeks or so. Hence when I do get a game in it needs to be as close to a finished product of a tournament army as possible and your feedback will help me move towards my final list.
Luke - R2-D2 and squadleader
Biggs - R2-F2
Wedge - R5 or R5-K6 and marksmanship
The idea is a close formation with luke giving his action to bigs to allow both the additional defense and a focus action. In theory and test rolling biggs survives the first head to head against 8 ties with 1-2 damage left on average. I have rolled this sequence 5 times and not once has biggs died but alass lady luck can flip you the bird any time. All three ships fire at a priority target. In mass tie armies I am thinking of focusing down the ships next to a swarm tactics tie. I have a crazy theory that while swarm tactics is amazing it looses it's value if there is no one there to gain from it and try to force my opponent to worry more about maneuvering his ships to benefit from swarm tactics that manuevering into my ships for better shots. Ideally I feel that if I can take down two ships especailly a named one that gives bonusses to other ships before I loose biggs I should be doing ok tactically even though I will probably be down in points. Once bigs is gone luke and wedge split up and unfortunatly squad leader is no longer effective. I have enough points for one ship to get proton torps and that will probably go to wedge for the first pass. I realize I am breaking from the traditional 1 y-wing and loosing that utility it afords but my childhood memories serve the y-wings getting blown up alot and it wasn't untill Tycho celchu in an A-wing and Lando made their run at the DEATH-STAR that it was General Salm who survived in a y-wing. Yes that will probably be my next force come Feb. Thank you for your time in reading this. I also apologize for the spelling, please do not flame me too much.

At the Tech School where I attend, we are setting up UT day!!! We wil have 5 hours of UT network play in our pc lab for everyone to play. Cross platform servers and clients makes the UT perfect for a fun school project. Anyway, are your friends using the retail version of UT also, or are you trying to play off of one CD. If you have the Demo, have all of you run the demo and see if you can connect that way. If so, then you most likely are having a problem with the retail version. I haven't played enough w/ it to really tell you. I'll let you know how our UT party goes and if we have any similar problems.

to get technical the makers say you need an ip address begining with 196. or 197. or 198. I dont know why they say this because I have talked to plenty of people who say it works fine with a 192. or many others.....Try typing in the ip address (the server ip address)at the open command. That should do it!!!! It might be called open location anyways if you find a place to type in the servers ip address do it!!!

Well I don't know what everyone else is talking about but I've got a 3 computer lan in my house and I'm using the following ip addresses and it works fine.
18.104.22.168 188.8.131.52 220.127.116.11 With a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 See if you can ping the other computers from a dos prompt and that will tell you if they are even on the network together. |

make sure your ip addresses are all one digit off. for some reason ut does not like ip addresses that are not close together. when i was trying to get the demo to work only three machines could see the game server. thats becahse they had almost the same ip address accept for the last digit. all other machines were unable to see the game

as long as all addresses are on hte some SUBNET , all machines will work fine, it is not unreal tournament that is the issue here, it is tcp/ip ( the only protocol that UT has available), it requires all communications between computers to be on the some subnet or it must go to the router to find out where the computer is, thus effecting pings or eliminating communication all together,depending on net work segment routing. thats all .

alright thanks for all the support, but our instructor helped us fix the problem today, we had the subnets at 255.255.255.0 and the other at 184.108.40.206 and then 126.96.36.199 and so on for 4 people but it wasn't workign then we read about them having to be 198 or 197 and stuff and we tried it worked just fine, pings really low and no skipping or anything, we are all running P3 450s with 96MB Ram ATI Rage 128's...runs pretty smooth, Assault rocks with this ... peaCe everyone

I have what I call wild onions (maybe they are wild chives)growing all around the front perimeter of my house. I painstakingly dug each one out, one at a time (each with it's little onion bulb) last year, and they stayed away for 2 months. Then I saw them come back one at a time until now they have multiplied everywhere. They are tall, green, and curly on the tips. They seem to smother my bushes and they look like tall weeds from the street view. Is there a way to permanently remove them? I don't want to shoot them with a chemical that may be harmful to my adjacent plants and bushes. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try pouring boiling water on them or even better pull them and then pour boiling water on the roots left behind. That should work without chemicals being needed. |
- Posted by outofspite NY6 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 7, 06 at 13:32
LOL! This brings back memories! When I was about 6 years old I used to pull them up & try to sell them. I made a sign - "Fresh Onions - Just Picked! 5 cents a bunch" & sat in front of my house. Believe it or not, I actually made about a dollar. Of course people bought them because I was "cute" - not because they needed onions. It also helped that I sold 5 bunches to my grandfather. LOL! |
someone told me not to pull them up but VERY carefully dig them out one at a time being very careful not to disturb the roots since that is how they spread. |
- Posted by plantman56 z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Apr 12, 06 at 16:15
use a small shovel and carefully dig out, If you pull them out - the small bulbets on the side of each bulb come off and regrow in the same spot. |
- Posted by garden_grammie SE Pa. (My Page) on Fri, Apr 14, 06 at 14:43
We sprayed them with Weed Be Gone and they turned yellow and died. I use to dig them as well but that is abit too much to do. |
Sadly there is no EASY non-chemical way to get rid of them. I hand pull and in late fall I put down thick layers of either paperbags or cardboard then mulch on top of that. Some of course still mangage to poke through but those I go after with a shovel. It is a long and tedious process and I'm certain that when all is said and done, the onions will still be here and I won't be! ;) |
- Posted by herblady49 Z6 PA (My Page) on Sat, Apr 15, 06 at 15:54
Soil where wild onions grow is usually very acid. Spread lime to alkalize your soil and you will find that you get less wild onions. Do not lime near acid loving plants. |
Concerning the acid soil and onions. I have arborvitae bushes, holly bushes, and mountain laurels where the wild onions are. They are growing in droves under and around the bushes. I would like to lime, but are these kinds of bushes affected by the lime? Also plant geraniums there too. Would they be okay with the lime? Would I just spread the lime on top of the soil or mix it into the soil? Janice |
- Posted by herblady49 Z6 PA (My Page) on Sun, Apr 23, 06 at 9:14
Hi Janice, Sorry, you can't lime around these bushes. I guess you'll have to dig out the wild onions. Water well so the soil is softer and digging will be easier and then mulch. |
Is there no end to the brass these people have? Scheesch! It's just a commercial, folks. Scheesch! Al |

Hi everyone... I usually try to find a thread here to help with any questions that the normal discussions don't cover... only found one today on this particular hoya and nothing to do with my current issue!.. I'm thinking it might be light... I purchased this lovely full plant at HD maybe 3 weeks ago.. and the only place I could put it was in front of a window facing roughly west.. I check it out very often and it has looked fine, but yesterday when I touched it a lot of healthy looking leaves just dropped right off... I gave it a light "shower" not wanting to wet it since it was quite wet when I bought it.. put it back into the same window... it is growing... those long viney growths are growing and twisting around the handle of the planter.. but today, when touched it, again like autumn!... does it need a lot of light? the EA said medium light? Its the only hoya I've purchased so far to show any sign of being "finicky".. I did let the growing medium it came in dry out and it isn't showing any signs of being too wet. ... maybe it's too dry? please need your advise.. I'm still a newbie!... thanks Eileen in VT |

Sorry, but am confused. The thread title mentions Dischidia, inside the post you mention Hoya. Which is it pls? "I gave it a light "shower" not wanting to wet it since it was quite wet when I bought it.. " I find this totally confusing, if it was still wet, why water it more esp. since you said you didn't want to get it wet??? I'd be thinking about checking the roots, can't rally know what's wrong w/out that. |
If you have only had it for 3 weeks it could just be adjusting to its new home.I have this happen all the time when I move my lacunosa from out side summer to inside winter.I do have this Dischidia and I treat it like I do with my hoyas.Durning summer, D geri gets west sun and seems fine with it. |
Some Dischidas are really sensitive to change. A change in watering especially, and if it's got commercial mix, they often do stay wet too long for a home atmosphere. But it can be really hard to repot a large plant, and disturbing the roots too much can be just as devastating. I would just leave it completely alone for a few weeks, just checking the soil for moisture now and then. I find when they go through that shedding phase (of otherwise fine looking leaves), sometimes they can be salvaged just by not brushing against them. On the other hand, I've also had a long stem lose all it's leaves while others seemed perfectly fine, so it's possible you just have a stem (or a few) that have corrupted roots. You'll probably just have to play it by ear... Denise in Omaha |
Many Dischidia hate being wet and are much better suited to growing dry. I don't have the species you have but of the Dischidia I grow problems always seem to be due to too much moisture. Cool or cold weather amplifies issues due to moisture levels so many species like a much drier winter. An open and fast draining mix works well because you can water often when needed but the mix still dries out quickly instead of staying soggy. Mike |

Cpawl and Denise... thank you both for your advise.... If I don't touch it, the leaves don't fall.. the commercial growing medium feels barely damp at this point. I will as you advise, just keep an eye on it and not touch it.. and perhaps it is only just readjusting to the new environment. pirategirl.. sorry for the confusion... I'm very new here... so please pardon MY confusion between a hoya and a dischidia since I've read many posts where both have been discussed together, so I thought they were perhaps somehow related! And, perhaps my question was somewhat confusing in the wording... it was very, very wet when I first purchased it; I removed the bottom tray and let it dry out.. so thinking it was only humidity it needed, the shower was only to wet the leaves and not the growing medium ..."not wanting to get it wet"... sorry for the confusion. Eileen |
- Posted by eileen44_gardener 4 Central Vermont (My Page) on Sun, Nov 20, 11 at 19:08
Thank you Mike. I had a humidifier on the floor around the few hanging plants, but ... the air from it was cool.. perhaps too cool for this plant.. I've since turned it off. The temp in the room is generally around 67-69. If I just let it be dry during the winter months, perhaps it will be happier in the spring!.. I do not feel confident in changing the commercial soil out just yet!... just keeping them all happily growing over the winter is a great feat for a newbie... with no experience with these plants (Dischidia AND hoya). |
Dischidia and Hoya are closely related, check out Dischidia.com for some info on the different species. Do the temperatures in the room stay constant or do they drop further at night? Warm growing plants appreciate a rise in day time temperatures and if kept constantly cool some will start to show signs of stress. I have several Hoyas that each year react to fall/winter by developing some yellow leaves. The balance between moisture, light, and temperature has to be reevaluated come winter for many of us that grow in strongly seasonal places. Mike |

Suspensions are usually in liquid form and separation of a suspension's ingredients is typical. Agitating the bottle is necessary to redistribute the ingredients throughout the product, ensuring the active ingredients penetrate into the skin properly. Suspensions are used when a product's ingredients will not dissolve when mixed with oil or water. Many times, cleansers will be suspensions. A gel base is commonly used in serum products. Gels are transparent, semi-liquids that are either completely water-soluble or completely oil-soluble. Gels are thinner and typically penetrate easier than emulsions, making them the more common vehicle for corrective products.
Stable and effective
Stability pertains to two important aspects of a product: the breakdown of its active ingredients and the prevention of abnormal microbial growth. Some think of preservatives as a negative; in fact, preservatives protect the product and the consumer by preventing the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast and mold. In actuality, all products that contain water must have some type of preservative system in place. Certain multifunctional ingredients offer preservative properties as well as other benefits, allowing for misleading "preservative-free" claims.
If a product breaks down, or oxidizes, it loses efficacy. Oxidation involves the altering of an ingredient's molecule. In some cases, this alteration is beneficial. For example, the conversion of retinol into retinoic acid in the skin involves oxidation of the retinol molecule. This type of oxidation must be assisted by certain enzymes and occur within the skin, not in the bottle, in order to make it effective. Oxidation is negative when a product oxidizes before it is able to interact with the skin. The most obvious indication of product oxidation is the darkening in color throughout time. Many of the most effective topical ingredients, including retinoids, L-ascorbic acid and several sunscreen agents, are inherently unstable and prone to oxidation. Oxidation typically occurs when a fragile ingredient comes in contact with air, water or light. Special steps must be made to ensure products that contain unstable ingredients are able to maintain their stability and functionality.
Esterfication. This process involves the binding of one molecule to another. Ester molecules can be effective; however, the skin must be able to break apart the ester and free the actual active ingredient. One example of an esterfied molecule is tocopheryl acetate, which is a form of vitamin E. Tocopheryl acetate combines tocopherol (vitamin E) with acetic acid, making a more stable molecule. Once applied to the skin, the molecule cleaves, freeing the tocopherol to provide its potent antioxidant effects. Another example is ascorbyl palmitate, which combines L-ascorbic acid with palmitic acid. Although this seems like a logical way to stabilize the active L-ascorbic acid, the skin lacks the mechanism to free the L-ascorbic acid; therefore, these esters do not provide all of its topical benefits.
Encapsulation. This is a protective casing that shields the active ingredient from contact with air, water or light. This method of stabilization is widely considered the most effective, as the ingredient is still in its most active form. The casings are easily broken upon manipulation or contact with skin, thereby releasing the active ingredient.

Flood of Donations Gives Commerce Food Pantry New Life, But Fix is Only Temporary
COMMERCE - The Commerce Food Pantry had been running dangerously low on supplies. So the last few Sundays before worship volunteer Dennis White has stood before his fellow church members to remind them of the growing need to restock the shelves.
"We were down to two boxes of Macaroni and Cheese," White said.
But on Sept. 23, White was thanking the congregation and community for their recent efforts to fill the pantry. That's due in large part to the students of Commerce ISD, who delivered roughly 2,900 cans of food to the pantry two days earlier, exceeding their goal by 200.
The harsh reality is this current stock will only last a few weeks, as more and more Commerce families are seeking assistance.
"[We serve] 30 families a week. And that represents at least 120 family members," White said, adding the increase in those needing help is a combination of a rise in poverty and better communication within the community.
Housed in the First Presbyterian Church, the Commerce Food Panty distributes non-perishable food items each Thursday between 2-4 p.m. Donations to the pantry can be made in the form of food, money and time. Here's a list of acceptable foods.
Volunteers say since hitting a low point earlier this month, generous donations have been pouring in.
"On Sept. 6 we had to close early because we ran out of food. And word went through Commerce in two days; not just from the people that were trying to pick up food but everybody," said Jim Norwood.
Dennis White added, "People in Commerce have been really generous. But they have to know about it."
Volunteer James Rhodes says some items go faster than others.
"It'll be a miracle if next week I don't have to go buy pancake mix and syrup. Apparently that's a hot item that they give the kiddos when they come in from school."
The Commerce Police and Fire Departments have indicated they'd like to help generate supplies for the pantry. And in the coming weeks, the Texas A&M University -Commerce Police Department and various student organizations will be conducting food drives across campus. The local post office is also said to be a consistent volunteer in helping raise canned goods.
"It gets embarrassing to have to stand up every Sunday to have to do the beg-a-thon speech, but it's an ongoing necessity," said White. "This [recent donations] will actually delay us having to ask every week. In three or four weeks we'll be doing it again."
You can learn more about the Commerce Food Pantry by calling the Presbyterian Church Office at 903-886-3783.

How To Know What A Man Is Really Thinking
Sponsored by Catch Him & Keep Him by Christian Carter
Have you ever been with a guy and he seemed to have it all together?
He was caring, loving, generous, present and aware and you had such an amazing time together. But then some of his issues popped up out of NOWHERE. Maybe his issues were some of the dreaded and common ones we predictable and difficult men go through like these:
- He started getting restless and he talked about how he wasn't really ready to settle down.
- He didn't see things getting as serious as you did.
- The connection started fading. He didn't try to connect to you much anymore and share his intimate feelings.
- You weren't a priority. He wanted to spend his time with his friends or other people and didn't value the time you spent together like you did.
- He started flirting, talking to or even getting together with other women even if he wasn't technically "cheating".
Recognize any of these? What's going on here? Here's where your "magic" comes in. The magic I'm talking about here isn't that far out stuff about conjuring up spells or changing into an animal. Let's leave that kind of magic to Harry Potter and your imagination. The magic I'm talking about is different and exists in the real world, but it's just as amazing. And it centers around an important idea:
You instinctively know more about what's going on in the world around you than you or your conscious mind fully recognizes.
And here's the kicker:
You ALREADY HAVE this magical ability. All you have to do is tune into it.
Easier said than done, right? So how does that work?
Your mind is constantly picking up on information from your environment, even when you're not really conscious of it. And all that information is being "processed" over and over to try and calculate the risk, danger, and expectations from your environment to try to find a way towards the outcome you want. So what am I talking about?
You're probably already familiar with the word. But stop right there. When you hear the term "intuition", it's easy to attach all of your previous feelings and beliefs about it and dismiss it as some kind of new age "flaky" stuff. I hear you, but indulge me here by keeping an open mind for a few minutes.
You'd be cheating yourself by not spending the couple of minutes or so that it takes to open your mind to the natural power of your intuition and how to tune into it. I don't have to tell you, but MEN ARE BAD COMMUNICATORS when it comes to their feelings, emotions and intentions around love and relationships. So knowing that men are often this way, you have a choice here:
You can either do nothing about it and continue to be shocked, frustrated, surprised and hurt by the things you find out about men after the fact.
You can start to create a more perceptive and insightful way of being in your own life and relationships by using more the natural intuitive abilities you already have.
Which one will it be?

I posted this message on the house plants forum before noticing this hybridizing forum, which is much more appropriate for my query. I'm looking for a good subject for a simple genetic variation/artificial selection lab, in which we can start the semester with two blooming varieties that the students cross-pollinate, then collect the ripened seeds, then grow these out long enough to see the traits in the offspring. All in one 15-week semester! I've used Brassica rapa "Fast Plants" for a similar lab in the past, because you can (barely) get through two generations in a semester, but they have become both prohibitively expensive and increasingly unreliable (bad combo!). I'll be happy to start with mature parents and finish with mature offspring.
Unfortunately, although patience is obviously an essential virtue for the serious hybridizer, I need to find those plants that are best for the most impatient hybridizers! Can anyone recommend a cheap, easy-to-get plant that could meet these requirements? One that springs to mind is portulaca: 40-50 days from sowing to blooming, but I don't know how long it takes for blooming plants to set seed and seeds to ripen. I also suspect that it would take longer in the fall than in the heat of the summer, and those dang dust-like seeds might be too much for my students to handle. It occurs to me that foliage varieties would work just as well, and perhaps better, since you wouldn't have to wait until they were blooming to see the results. However, I've seen even less information on the all-important (for me!) time between pollination and seed maturation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Alan |

They have been breeding late maturing spinach for years . It should be easy to reverse the process they go to seed in about a month. Radishes can mature in 19 days but it takes them longer to go to seed . There is a type of cress that matures in 5 days but I do not know how long it takes to go to seed. Bok choy is another posibility . also borrow Kent Whealey's book "seed inventory" LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT . |
Alan, Some zinnias are rather quick to bloom and, if you cross pollinate them promptly, they will set seed that, while still green, could be viable after three or four weeks after pollination. One possible candidate would be zinnia Thumbelina. They can start blooming when they are only about three inches high and their plants are also quite compact, so they wouldn't take up a lot of space in the lab. It would be cutting it close, but I think you could have your hand pollinated Thumbelina hybrids blooming in 15 weeks from the first planting, provided that you used the "green seed" technique. They come in many different colors, so there would be a large number of combinations of crosses to make. For some background information, see It can be fun to breed your own zinnias and the follow-on Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6. Those are all in the Annuals forum. MM |

you may wish to use cornix or Japanese quail . They become sexually mature in 6 weeks . Not a plant though .Check out http://www.grcp.ucdavis.edu/publications/doc20/ch2.pdf |

Mustard might be good. It's easy to grow, doesn't require vernalization like bok choi and radishes often do, produces seed easily, is reasonably easy to cross, and there are red and green varieties. You might try something like 'Red Frills' or 'Crimson Tide' which are frilly and red, and 'Florida Broadleaf', which is green and not frilly. And mustard seed's cheap. |

It might be easier to use fruit flies than plants as almost no common plant I know is that speedy----though, come to think of it you might get two mature blooming foliage plants and at least get seedlings big enough to see variation-------------------------------Weedy |
Zinnias are more colorful and easier to see than fruit flies, and bloom in about 6 weeks from seed. |

Necroposting on this ancient thread. Funny first thing that popped into head was purslane before I saw you mentioned portulaca. Never tried to hybridize it, but I have 2 varieties growing in garden, so maybe will have a hybrid soon. Not sure how easy it would be to emasculate or hand pollinate. Very quick to germinate, flower and set seed and produces tons of easy collect seed - but also easy for the seed to get everywhere! |
- Posted by farmfreedom (My Page) on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 11:31
Probably the best bet would be pansies as they are both perennial and treated as annuals .You can keep successive generations from previous classes to illustrate the generations and get several generations per year . also there are many traits and a wide variation in the species . |
- Posted by farmfreedom (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 14:38
By the way pansies can cross with violas, violets, johnny jump ups . They come in: small, regular, large ,and giant Swiss ,blotched or penciled faces , regular and ruffled petals . You never let us know how you made out ! |

We think we know everything there is to know about our pets, but if you believe you can't teach an old dog new tricks, think again. There are countless myths about our pets, many so old they've become common folklore. While most of these inventions are harmless, some could end up hurting your pet.
To separate fact from fiction, the American Kennel Club debunks some of the most common dog myths.
Dogs can't see color
It was once thought that dogs could see only in black, white and shades of gray — and many people still believe this today.
Dogs can see color, but not in the same way as most humans. It is believed that dogs can see blue, greenish-yellow, and yellow, in addition to various shades of gray.
Dogs age seven years for every human year
This myth has been around for so long that it's nearly become fact. While dogs do age faster than humans, they don't age seven years for every one human year. Dogs age faster when they're younger and slower as they get older.
The size of the dog also has much to do with the aging process — larger dogs age faster.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks," probably stemmed from someone who couldn't get his dog to catch a Frisbee. You actually can teach a dog new tricks no matter what his age — including how to shake hands, speak and roll over — by keeping training sessions short, fun, and using plenty of positive reinforcement including praise and treats.

Adrianne Palicki is the only girl on a team full of guys in the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation, playing Lady Jaye, the self-described "intelligence" of the group alongside Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis. (She also doubles as a weapons expert.) EW sat down with Palicki last night at AXE's Facescore event, where the actress squared off against Denver Linebacker Von Miller in a series of challenges including a walk-off and a Wii snowboarding battle. In case you were wondering, Palicki won.
Before the battle, Palicki previewed some of what's to come later this month with G.I. Joe — including her SEAL-approved workouts and those reported reshoots.

About Us
Team Nautilus comprises of 9 undergraduate engineering majors from Temecula, Ca. participating in the International (AUVSI) RoboSub Competition for the second consecutive year. The objective of the competition is to design, manufacture, and program a completely autonomous robotic submarine that will face obstacles in an underwater environment. Formerly known as Gears2Robots; the team designs, builds, and programs the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) from the ground
6/21/2014 - With all wiring and connections finalized, water testing has worked perfectly. There are some simple leaks to fix and the more complicated programming is next up for testing.
5/25/2014 - Testing of the Submarine has begun. Soldering and wiring for the test bed is proving to be very successful.
We will be at UCR's Bourns Engineering Day on April 5. Stop by our table to see Nautilus I our submarine from the 2013 RoboSub competition. Meet the 2014 team and check out other projects created by the members.Team 6371 "Gear Gurus" from the First Tech Challenge will also be displaying their robot at our booth. To find out more about the event click the flyer or go to http://www.engr.ucr.edu/~ssed/
Team Nautilus has started prototyping for the 2014 competition. We have created a test bed for the programmers and the electrical team to work with while the design and build of the new submarine are being created. The prototype has a holonomic drive system and 6 motors. The team has been working on multiple things such as embedded C, serial communication, and diagnostics including interface sensors and data logging among other things.Continue to follow the team on Facebook and check out the website for more updates!

Alaska's Bristol Bay and southeast Bering Sea waters encompass one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the world, yet pressure to drill for offshore oil and gas has remained a constant threat for decades.
Offshore drilling amid the region's rich waters would threaten an area that produces 40% of the nation's wild fish catch as well as resources of cultural importance. Jobs, livelihoods, Alaska Native traditions and communities would be at risk.
The region's sub-arctic waters support:
- The world's largest wild sockeye salmon runs.
- Significant commercial fisheries worth more than $2 billion annually.
- Alaska Native cultures traditionally reliant on salmon and other marine resources.
- Globally important migratory seabird and marine mammal populations, and sensitive coastal habitats.
The fate of Bristol Bay has been uncertain since pressure to develop the region for offshore oil and gas drilling began in the early 1980s. Over the years, leases have been sold and bought back, and presidential and congressional protections have come and gone. Through the region's long history of leasing, buybacks and protections won and lost, Bristol Bay has been spared from offshore development, but just barely.
AMCC has successfully worked hand-in-hand with local communities, tribes, members of the seafood industry and conservation groups to bring the economic, ecological, and cultural value of Bristol Bay to national awareness. Bristol Bay is a national treasure. Its world-class fisheries' and coastal communities' connections to marine resources are too valuable to risk for potential short-term benefits of offshore drilling.
In 2010, President Obama cancelled a pending lease sale for 2011 and announced that Bristol Bay would be protected from offshore oil and gas development until 2017.
While the region's rich waters now have temporary protection from offshore drilling, a lasting solution is needed for Bristol Bay and the southeast Bering Sea.
Now is the time to finally protect Bristol Bay and southeast Bering Sea waters from offshore drilling – once and for all. Please join with us to secure Bristol Bay's permanent protection from offshore oil and gas development.

19d. Outlook Integration – Tasks [11:46]
Description: This video provides an overview of how to push and pull tasks to and from the Core3 and Outlook.
Let's take a closer look at how to push and pull tasks to and from the Core3 and Outlook. Integration with Outlook can be extremely powerful as one of the primary goals is to increase accuracy and efficiency by avoiding double data entry. As discussed in the Set Up video this Outlook integration requires purchasing, installing, and registering the Outlook Manipulator plug-in.
0:33 First let's take a look at some basic rules when pulling tasks from Outlook into the Core3. The pull routine pulls all tasks from the user's default Outlook tasks folder, we'll take a look at this once we open up the Core3 and Outlook. Tasks that are marked as "private" in Outlook are completely ignored and the routine does not pull any tasks that are recurring. During the pull process the routine will assign a unique Core ID to each task imported and sets the Core ID to a custom field in Outlook. When performing subsequent pulls, or as discussed later when pushing tasks, this allows the Core3 to understand whether to create a new task or update an existing task with data from Outlook. The assignee field will never populate unless the record pulled is a new record. When pulling a new record the assignee field will populate with the default user's task assigned to the currently logged in Core user. Please also note that records that are deleted in Outlook are not deleted in the Core3 during the pull process. If you delete an Outlook task record that has a matching record in the Core3 then you will need to delete the task record manually in the Core3. Lastly, the Category field of tasks are populated in the Core3 during the pull process; however, if the Outlook task category does not exist in the Core3 or the Outlook task has multiple categories (which is supported in Outlook and not supported in the Core3), than the category field is not populated in the Core3 during the pull process and is left blank. Please consider this when re-pushing the task back to Outlook as you could permanently change or delete the Outlook category of your tasks.
2:32 Let's open the Core3 and Outlook to see how simple and powerful pulling tasks can be. This may seem like a lot of rules for pulling but actually pulling tasks from Outlook into the Core is quite simple. We just want you to see how this is going to function across all different Outlook versions and all different scenarios that you might have set up in Outlook. First let's look at where your users default Outlook task folder resides so we know what tasks we're going to pull in. As you're probably used to looking in Outlook if you navigate to Tasks I can see here I actually have three different task folders, Tasks, Personal Tasks, and Sales Tasks. If I want to actually see what the default root task folder is I would need to go to Mail, select the folder list to actually show the hierarchy of all my different folders for my Outlook profile, and here you can see I have my Tasks and then my Personal Tasks and Sales Tasks which are actually subfolders. When we perform the Tasks Pull in the Core we are going to pull all of your tasks that are in the Tasks Folder. We'll go ahead and do that now and we're going to pull in these five tasks and it's going to omit anything that is in any other task folder such as Personal Tasks and Sales Tasks and as you'll recall it's also going to omit any task set up and marked "private". Let's go ahead and make "Test Task 5" private and go ahead and save and close that so we can actually see this in action. I'll go ahead and navigate to the Core and we'll go ahead and log in to the Core as Melinda. Now we have the Core opened. Before we pull in our tasks we're going to go to the Core Preferences and since I'm logged in as Melinda I will select Melinda's account here. Let's go to the Calendar/Tasks tab and here we can see we've assigned a Default User for my Tasks, so I'm going to go ahead and ensure that Melinda is actually selected as the default user. That's because in the Core you assign a task to a specific user whereas in Outlook you have one user and many tasks.
4:40 So let's navigate to the Activities tab. We'll first go ahead and do a find for all tasks and I currently have four tasks in the Core. Let's go ahead and go to Core>Outlook Integration>Pull Tasks and this is going to pull in all of my tasks from my Outlook default tasks folder and here I have my results. Four of the tasks were imported from Outlook, one task was marked as private in Outlook and has not imported. We like to give you results of the import that way you know exactly what happened, go ahead and select OK. And now if I were to do a find for all tasks in the Core I can see that I've brought in all of my Test Tasks from Outlook all four of them right here. Let's see something else that happens behind the scenes when we pulled these in from Outlook. We talked about a unique Core ID, now this Core ID is not visible to the user but we actually created it behind the scenes. I'm going to go into an area that I don't recommend users do but I do want to show you this new ID that we've assigned. So I'm going to add the COREID to my view in my fields in Outlook and here you can see we have actually behind the scenes created a Core ID, populated it for each task that was pulled into the Core, and Test Task 5 was marked as private so it's always completely ignored. This allows us to now edit these tasks on the push rather than creating a brand new task and we'll see that later in this video. The other thing that happened was the assignee field that got populated when pulling. As you can see in Outlook there is no assignee field here because all of these tasks belong to this profile here that's under Personal Folders, Outlook doesn't have various users like the Core does. So when you import all of these tasks they are going to be assigned to the currently logged in Core user's default task user that's selected. So for example, if I go to Test Task 4 I can see it's actually been assigned to Melinda right here. The reason that was assigned to Melinda is because I'm logged in as Melinda and if we navigate to Melinda's account set up for Calendar/Tasks, here I have the Default User for Tasks is set to Melinda. If I were to change this to Chris and then import a new task it's going to then assign it to Chris, I'll go ahead and put this back to Melinda, select Done, and next we're going to talk about the Category field.
7:17 Categories are left blank when pulled into the Core if they have more than one category and/or if the category does not exist in the Core. So if I go ahead and select Done and go back into the Core>Preferences>Global Settings>Activity Categories>Task Category I only have three categories in the Core. We do this in order to prevent your Core from getting polluted with all of your various user categories. So before you begin using your Outlook Integration it's always wise to make sure you have your categories set up appropriately.
7:53 Pushing tasks from the Core3 to Outlook also requires an outline of some basic rules. First, all tasks in the found set will be pushed including tasks that do not belong to the Core user. This allows the user to virtually find any combination of tasks under any criteria for maximum flexibility. Secondly, when a task is pushed from the Core3 to Outlook a unique Core ID is assigned to the task. A custom field in Outlook is set with this unique Core ID, if there is a matching task found in Outlook during the push process; meaning the Core3 task and Outlook task have the same Core ID (because they've already either been pushed or pulled at one point or another) than FileMaker will override this task with the information in the Core3 – even if the task data in Outlook is newer. Tasks marked as "private" in Outlook are completely ignored. Lastly, matching records that are deleted in the Core3 are not deleted in Outlook during the push process. If you delete a Core3 task that has a matching record in Outlook you need to delete that Outlook task record manually. Now that we understand these basic rules when pushing tasks let's open the Core3 and Outlook to see how easy and powerful pushing tasks can be.
9:14 Pushing tasks can be quite simple. We simply do a find for any tasks that we want to push, I'll just do a find for all of the tasks that are assigned to Melinda and here I have six tasks. If we open up Outlook I can see that I currently have five tasks in my default tasks folder. And I'm going to go ahead and navigate to the Core>Outlook Integration>Push Tasks and this is going to push all of the tasks that are in my found set. Go ahead and select OK and I've successfully pushed 6 tasks to Outlook. If I go in and view Outlook here you can see that I have all of my additional tasks as well as a unique Core ID that was created and assigned to each task that came from the Core here. Since this Test Task 5 was marked as private this is always going to be completely ignored. Let's go back to the Core and do a find for all tasks because you may want to pull in all of your boss' tasks or one of your co-worker's tasks. So here I have found all the tasks in the Core – there are 8 of them, some are assigned to Sally, some to Melinda, some to Chris. I'm going to go ahead and go to the Outlook Integration select Push Tasks, and that's going to push all eight tasks to my Outlook Tasks folder. If we open up Outlook here we can see I have all of my tasks. I'm going to go ahead and remove the Core ID from my current view; you saw how we added it when we were discussing the pulling of tasks. And now I'm going to go to "User-defined fields" and let's just go ahead and remove that guy, select OK, and then OK. You really never want your user to see the Core ID because you don't want them to manipulate that ID in any way, but for the sake of this video I wanted to show you a little bit about what's going on behind the scenes here when pushing and pulling tasks.
11:12 This is just a brief overview of the many features and possibilities of the Core3. For more information on what the Core3 can do for you please explore this website, review the videos and documentation, and download a demo. Please contact us via email, phone, or browse our forum if you have additional questions. We look forward to hearing from you and automating your business to operate more efficiently.

I am a 57 year grandma, and have always been quite crafty. I love sewing, gardening, cooking and baking. I made my first fondant covered cake in January of 2011 after watching a marathon of the Cake Boss, and have been hooked since. I learned everything I know about cakes from watching tutorials on the internet, and by asking questions to all the wonderful cakes makers I have met on Facebook. A special thanks to Peggy Does Cake, and Nancy's Cakes and Beyond who are always available to answer all my questions, and give advice. I babysit my three grandchildren (ages 6, 3 & 2) during the week. I usually only make cakes for family and friends since most of the time the grandchildren keep me pretty busy.

IE Impact Weekend: converting 'Social responsibility' from two words into one meaning
Written on April 12, 2012 by Dirk Hopfl in IE News
IE Impact Weekend is back and once more sets out to share ideas and develop socially responsible business plans by bringing together students from IE Business School with social entrepreneurs from across Spain. The main goal: to reach impact!
Created by IE Business School and IE Venture Lab, along with strategic partners such as the IE Net Impact Club and iWeekend, the Impact Weekend experience will take place in Madrid from 20th to 22nd April 2012.
How does it work?
After an open idea submission period, which will end on April 11th for IE students, everything will start with a Pitch Your PeersSession on Friday evening. During this session a short list of 10 ideas will be presented in front of an audience of judges and Impact Weekend participants. The 5 ideas that will appear most promising will then be handed over to 5 IE students/alumni who will work on each of them on Saturday and Sunday, using innovative and practical methodologies to build scalable ventures that address real-world issues. Cocktails and tapas will make the evenings even sweeter.
The winning team will be announced on Sunday and be provided with a direct entry into the next IE Venture Lab as well as some valuable media attention. The second- and third-place teams will have an opportunity to pitch their ideas at IE Venture Network events.
Thus, submit your idea, learn how to create social impact through business, gain unique networking opportunities and make "social responsibility" two words that should be on everybody´s agenda!
Chat with Prateek, an IE Master in Management student
Written on April 11, 2012 by Dirk Hopfl in IE News
Hi Prateek, thank you for taking the time to share some insights about your IE experience. Please tell us a little bit about yourself before we get started!
Well, my name is Prateek Rathore. I am from India and I am 24 years old. Currently, I am finishing the second core period of the Master in Management Program here at IE. I am a computer science engineer and did my undergraduate studies at IIT Delhi, considered one of the best engineering colleges in India. Before coming to IE, I also worked at the Royal Bank of Scotland for over a year. I like to travel; have travelled across 16 countries in Europe and a lot in India as well, and I've also choreographed dance teams at various national-level competitions.
Thanks Prateek! And now a question that might be interesting to prospective students; why did you choose IE as your center of excellence?
First of all, it is not a secret that IE is one of the best schools in the world that offers a master program in international management. Besides, I am a firm believer that in management studies, one learns more from one's classmates than from the professors, and given that diversity is one of IE's core values, it made my decision to apply to IE fairly easy. In addition, as I am very interested in technology, IE is one of the only schools to my knowledge that offers a specialization in Digital Business which I am about to start in a few days. And last but not least, I applied to IE because of the Venture Lab and the overall entrepreneurial spirit it instills in the students here.
Perfect! Prateek, but what about your actual IE experience? Now that you have completed two of the three core periods, what are the things that stand out during this time?
The one thing that immediately comes to my mind has to do with how classes are being taught here at IE. The case methodology really makes the classes more interesting and interactive while giving one a great variety of practical as well as theoretical knowledge about different sectors in the market. Another thing that stands out is the competition between classmates. Everybody and when I say everybody I mean everybody, is competitive at IE. However, it is a healthy competition because people really grow together, learn from each other and many times help each other with problems. One more reason to do so may be the high workload here, as you simply cannot complete all the tasks by yourself. And this brings me to my next point. Over the last two periods, I really learned how to manage my time and prioritize the things that I had to do. IE offers you many extracurricular activities, such as speeches, workshops, weekly meetings etc.; thus, you really have to learn how to manage your time well if you want to grab as much as you can on the way. And, I think I don't have to tell you about the Madrid night life; it's amazing. But I guess the most important thing is truly the diversity in class, on campus and even in Madrid. You can get so many different view points on a topic that you feel like you grow with every class discussion while your global network keeps increasing day in and day out. Read more…
Are you a quant?
Written on March 24, 2012 by Dirk Hopfl in IE News
Prof. Paris de l'Etraz's masterclass, held in Tokyo on Febuary 19th, brought a big crowd of attendees drawn by the topic: 'Think like an entrepreneur'.
Drawing on both his long and illustrious work experience, as well as his decision to take on the challenge of starting his own company, Prof. de l'Etraz explained what makes an entrepreneur and what he/she needs to do to succeed. Prof. de l'Etraz spent over 20 years in investment banking and venture capital, mainly at UBS Bank and ABN AMRO. Since 2005, he has continued to be in the business of either raising funds, setting up new companies, selling or buying companies through his group Amazing Lab.
However, his description of 'quants' (mathematically minded individuals who exhibit a closed mentality and cannot deal with ambiguity at work) really brought the room alive, many participants recognizing themselves in his description, and others wondering if they are, in fact, quants as well.
Prof. de l'Etraz explained that in our rapidly changing world, higher levels of certainty cannot be created by generating more information, being obsessed with objectivity and the sacredness of numbers. It's in fact open-mindedness that is critical to face uncertainty and understanding the complexity of globalization and new business models in order to create sustainable corporations in the long-term.
The Q&A session after the masterclass was particularly lively, and conversations about being a quant, and how an IE education can help to overcome one's 'quantness' flowed over drinks.
If you missed his engaging presentation, you can review his latest TEDx presentation on the same topic here.

Seven Laws of Noah
(according to Jews)
(applicable to non Jews only)
The prohibition of idolatry.
The prohibition of murder.
The prohibition of theft.
The prohibition of sexual immorality.
The prohibition of blasphemy.
The prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive.
The requirement of maintaining courts to provide legal recourse.
The 10 Commandments
(according to Jews)
(applicable to the Jews only)
Thou shalt have no other gods
No graven images or likenesses
Not take the LORD's name in vain
Remember the sabbath day
Honour thy father and thy mother
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness
Thou shalt not covet
According to Jews the seven laws of Noah only applies to humanity (non Jews) and prohibits committing murder this includes not killing Jews.
The 10 commandments in the Torah that only apply to Jews states; Thou shall not kill. This commandment implies Jews cannot kill other Jews, but allows the killing of non Jews.
Here are three commandments from the 613 commandments found in the written Tora which not only allows killing non Jews but demands it!
Mosheh ben Maimon, called Moses Maimonides and also known as RaMBaM, was a pre-eminent medieval Arab, Spanish, Sephardic Jewish philosopher, astronomer and one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars and physicians of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba (present-day Spain), Almoravid Empire on Passover Eve, 1135, and died in Egypt on December 12, 1204. He was a rabbi, physician, and philosopher in Morocco and Egypt.

Facelift, Necklift
Facial aging and years of sun damage can result in drooping of the facial skin and loss of volume in the face. These changes cause sagging of the lower face, the appearance of jowls and worsening of the "turkey neck" deformity. A facelift or necklift procedure lifts, repositions and tightens the facial skin, accentuates the jawline and tightens the neck eliminating the bottom-heavy appearance of advanced facial age.
- Sagging in the mid-face
- Deep creases below the lower eyelids
- Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
- Fat that has fallen or is displaced
- Jowls created by a loss of muscle tone in the lower face
- Loose skin and excess fat deposits that may exist under the chin and jaw.
A facelift involves repositioning the skin of the lower face and neck into a more youthful position. Surgery requires under three hours but can be longer when combined with other procedures. Facelifts are typically performed at an ambulatory surgery center. Incisions are hidden in the "sideburn" area, within the ear canal and along the back of the ear. There are several methods to tighten the fascia and muscle of the lower face and neck depending upon the type and severity of facial aging. Delicate sutures are used to meticulously close the incisions to minimize the creation of scar tissue. A dressing is placed at the time of surgery to minimize swelling and support your face and neck in the early healing period. Dr. Weber does not place drains following facelift surgery allowing you to return to work and social activities at an earlier time.
Schedule a complimentary consultation with facelift specialist, Stephen Weber MD, FACS.

Citizen Science and Stewardship
citizen science: meaningful research on public lands
North Cascades Institute seeks Citizen Scientists – people who are excited to assist with valuable scientific research – in the North Cascades and Skagit Valley. These projects provide a fun and educational way for people who may not have previous scientific training to engage in meaningful research. Participants work with researchers who are active in the North Cascades ecosystem and help them achieve research goals that might be difficult without the assistance of a committed group of volunteers, students, and enthusiastic contributors. The research is an important contribution towards understanding these complex ecosystems and how to best conserve them.
Spotlight on Maple Pass
The Maple Pass loop trail is one of the most visited hikes along the North Cascades Highway. This gem of a hike starts off in dense Silver firs forest and passes through many different lifezones on it's way up to Maple Pass at 6,850 ft. Views abound as rugged mountains, glaciers, alpine lakes and alpine meadows spread out before you. The beauty of this trail has not been lost to others and many years of hiker travel has had its toll on the fragile alpine plants. This has resulted in many different social trails, trampled plants and a compromised ecosystem.
The Maple Pass Restoration Project is in the first of many years as it strives to bring integrity back to this high mountain ecosystem. Join North Cascades Institute, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and North Cascades National Park to restore this beautiful landscape.
Learn more on our blog at www.chattermarks.ncascades.org/naturalist-notes/summertime-stewardship-on-maple-pass-join-us.
Other ongoing initiatives include:
Cascades Butterfly Project
The North Cascades Institute is proud to be partnering with the National Park Service in a collaborative effort that unites biologists and citizen scientists, to work together to monitor butterfly populations throughout North Cascades National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. This long-term monitoring effort is researching how alpine butterfly populations will respond to expected changes in their fragile mountain habitats.
Download Cascades Butterfly Project Resource Brief
This exciting research is using non-invasive methods to assess the habitat connectivity within the North Cascades Ecosystem. Institute staff is assisting the project by monitoring marten hair snares that will help researchers determine what impacts highways and development may have on native carnivore movement and populations. See "The Sweet Smell of Winter" on our blog Chattermarks for details.
North Cascades Institute staff and volunteers are helping aquatic ecologists from North Cascades National Park to collect baseline water quality data from Diablo Lake and Deer Creek. This data is helping to provide insights to guide the management of our precious aquatic resources.
The North Cascades Wolverine Project
The Wolverine is one of North America's most rare and elusive carnivores, and inhabits the mountainous wilderness of the North Cascades. In 2012, The North Cascades Institute is assisting biologists John Rohrer and Scott Fitkin in their efforts to capture and radio monitor wolverines throughout the rugged North Cascades ecosystem.
Download North Cascades Wolverine Study Annual Report 2010
While studying at the Environmental Learning Center, students are helping staff collect data to add to the National Phenology Network's national database. Understanding phenological events (like the dates of the first Pacific Dogwood blooms and arrival of migratory bird species) is important in gaining an understanding of how 'Nature's Calendar' changes over time in response to climate change and other factors.
Whitebark Pine Monitoring
Whitebark Pines play an important role in the ecology of the cold and dry montane environments of the North Cascades. Not only do they provide a critical food source for birds, bears and squirrels, they also influence abiotic factors like snowmelt and soil development. Institute staff and volunteers are assisting biologists from North Cascades National Park in monitoring this important tree species because its long-term survival is imperiled by blister rust and mountain pine beetles.

stewardship: CONNECTING PEOPLE TO PUBLIC LANDS THROUGH SERVICE AND STEWARDS
The North Cascades Stewards program is a great volunteer opportunity for you to give something back to our public lands, deepen your connection with the North Cascades, and get some good exercise while enjoying beautiful mountain views and good company.
North Cascades Stewards offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities within North Cascades National Park and the surrounding National Forests. The work may take you into the backcountry on hiking trails or into the frontcountry at campgrounds, overlooks or the Marblemount Native Plant Nursery. This season's projects will include a variety of opportunities for helping the land by removing invasive plants, collecting seeds for the nursery, planting native plant species and maintaining hiking trails.
For more information or to get on our mailing list for future North Cascades Stewards activities, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

So my cabinets are inset cabinets and have 22 inches of depth. Is there a 27 or 30 inch warming drawer that will look right in the space? I see the Thermador has 22 3/4 inches of depth, but says cut out is 24 inches. Any thoughts? |

And because of that, we can't participate in many of the standard practices that have evolved in the industry simply because they are not in your best interest. Instead, we developed and now engage in a patented process that utilizes a radically different approach to wealth management. This approach has been designed to enable you to achieve your life's goals—like buying a boat or paying for a child's education—as opposed to chasing percentages and returns. Wealthcare helps you see your future in obtainable, concrete terms, unclouded by financial jargon or abstract theories, and to realize your future uninfluenced by conflicts and sales quotas. The result is a more ethical and confident method of helping you realize your goals: What you dream you'd like to do, your plan will help you do. What's more, as circumstances or goals change, you and your advisor can refine your plan to continue to work toward meeting your life's goals and dreams. If you were to compare what you're doing now with what you could achieve with Wealthcare, you would probably find what so many others have: that you don't need to take as much risk as you've been taking and that those dreams that seemed so far away or impossible were actually closer than you could have imagined.

Each state is associated with exactly one owning flow definition. Specializations of this class capture all the configuration information needed for a specific kind of state.
Subclasses should implement the doEnter method to execute the processing that should occur when this state is entered, acting on its configuration information. The ability to plugin custom state types that execute different behaviour polymorphically is the classic GoF state pattern.
Why is this class abstract and not an interface? A specific design choice. It is expected that specializations of this base class be "States" and not part of some other inheritance hierarchy.
Equality: Two states are equal if they have the same id and are part of the same flow.
