Hi all.
Does anyone remember a post with specific instructions/adjustments to assembling this structure? I can't seem to find it. I brought one, it's just sitting in the garage, still in the box. I either need to sell it or assemble it, and if that's the way to go, I could really use those instructions. Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Maryanne, there should be a manual in the box, and you'll definately need it. If for some reason the manual is missing, you can download and print the manual from the Harbor Freight website. It's not an easy manual to follow, though, so read on... Many folks at this forum (myself included) believe that it's risky to build the kit as per the manual, without any further reinforcements, if you want to avoid problems caused by wind damage. This forum has many posts with excellent tips regarding these reinforcements, and they were a life saver to me as my husband and I built our HFGH. I tried to many of these assemble tips in my blog: Here's a list of helpful links I've saved, posted by other folks who have assembled this greenhouse. They're all worth reading, and I'm sure you can find more, by doing a search for "HFGH 10x12". Gardenerwantabe's thread on HFGH modifications: Laserfan's thread, with links to his photos: Oraylawson's thread, with links to his photos: Troykd's site: Foxesearth's blog: Joe Urda's site: Web4deb's site (astonishing what a technologically gifted person can accomplish!) I hope this helps! |

I'm a new runebound player and a new forum user and... I'm italian so...sorry for my not perfect english!!
My doubt is:
It's possible to use all the espansion decks once, even if this decks don't contain any event card?
As you can see, this could be problem because the probability of reintegrate the challenge tokens decreases dramatically...
Maybe an home-rule is required?
Thank you for your collaboration!!

Fulfilling Our Destiny is Like Surfing the Waves
July 14, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Karin Friedemann, TMO
Every living thing has an ideal destiny, because God created us to grow, learn, enjoy life, and improve our intellect, so that we may understand Reality, just like He wants the flowers to bloom. God made every living being with a blueprint of its true nature within its DNA. Sometimes flowers wilt, sometimes people become depressed, but that is not their true nature. Some kind of deficit has occurred, like lack of rain prevents the flower from living up to its natural potential. Unlike flowers we have choices, and the moral responsibility for those choices. We also have human rights.
In Islam, a woman has the moral responsibility for the spiritual status of herself, and her children. On the Day of Judgment a man will however be asked about the level of his wife's faith. A woman will not be held morally responsible to the same degree if her husband went astray. That is because man has a degree of power over his wife that she doesn't have over him, by nature. A parent only has moral responsibility up to a point. When the child becomes of age, he is responsible for his own choices. Prophet Noah (as) had to go through the heartbreak of enduring a disobedient son and then, he had to live with the knowledge his son had drowned in the Flood. What a terrible burden! But Allah relieved him of that burden.
He (God) said, "O Noah, in fact, he (your son) is not a part of your family. Indeed, he is (a man of) bad deeds. So do not ask Me something of which you have no knowledge. I exhort you not to be among the ignorant." (Quran 11:46)
Allah said it is ignorance to love and consider as family a man of bad deeds. The most sacred bonds such as between a parent and a child can be destroyed by bad deeds. When we continue to pray for something in a relationship that is not possible, we are living in ignorance. Yet, at other times, when we should be doing something quite possible, but we did not make the effort, we are also living in ignorance. How do we know if a situation is salvageable? How do we know when to give up on a person or whether to try harder to reach them? As long as we are acting from ego, we will never know.
Even our Prophet (s), as an example for us, asked for protection against his own ego, even for the blink of an eye; although he is perfect and preserved from sin by God, he taught us to be careful of our own egos. Prophet David (as) used to follow his prayers with supplications begging forgiveness for the inadequacy of his previous prayers, in case there was any pride mixed in for having performed them.
Every struggle, whether a relationship problem, cancer, or a war, presents us with opportunities to learn and grow, and to purify our souls. There is a special dwelling place in Paradise for those who are able to praise God in every circumstance no matter what. We will always experience hardship and loss and fear. Our ego can get in the way and make us afraid to take risks or conversely, make us react emotionally and destructively. Real devils will interfere in our lives and zap our ability to understand what's going on.
Everyone has something that they are destined to fulfill in this life. Sometimes we stop the process of our own growth and degrade ourselves; sometimes we allow someone else to degrade us – because we have been allowing our ego to cover up the Truth deep inside that God wants us to be happy and healthy. It's a delicate balance we must maintain, and it has to move with every wave, like a surfer. But if we can maintain that balance within, we can then with a clear head make the best decision for what will help us blossom in our true lives.
The Prophet Muhammad (s) said the struggle will go on until the Day of Judgment, like the ocean waves. There will never be a time when we don't have to face trouble and make decisions about how to deal with these challenges. Until we get our own egos under control, we will face the same trouble over and over and over, regardless of how many times we run away from our problems.
All human beings are in a state of total confusion until we accept Grace. Verily all men are in a state of loss! Except those who accept that sunshine and rain from the sky, and share this Truth with others. They are the ones who can bloom. They are the ones who have learned to collect Power from the universe, circulate it within, and emit Light. They are the glowing ones.
When you see someone who is glowing, you know they are not wasting their day nursing resentments, you know they are keeping their minds clear and clean. They probably have a regular spiritual practice, because glowing takes regular practice. It doesn't just "happen" just like music doesn't just "happen." Unless a musician regularly exercises the tiny muscles in his fingers, he will not be able to play you a song, let alone put feeling into that song. We must constantly work on perfecting ourselves, but we will never be perfect. We can never give up trying to be the best we can be, because that is the whole point of our life's journey.

Harun Yahya – Unawareness—A Sly Threat
February 4, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Other characteristics
Such people overreact to events, do not trust Allah and behave rebelliously. But believers know that Allah controls everything and so trust Him completely, regardless of what trials He sends their way. When something happens, they remain as patient as they can, for they know that such things are no more than trials sent by Allah. Therefore, they are happy and joyful in the knowledge that He will reward their patience and trust:
We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth, life, and fruits. But give good news to the steadfast.
Al-Baqara: 155
Remembering these glad tidings only makes them more determined to be patient when facing difficulties. Fully aware that their possessions, wealth, position, and rank are meant to test them, they do their best to thank Him and use them according to His will so that they may earn His pleasure:
Every self will taste death. We test you with both good and evil as a trial. And you will be returned to Us.
Al-Anbiya': 35
Unaware people are ignorant of these facts; even if they know about them, they ignore them. Therefore, they react to events quite differently. For example, believers who know that their loss of material goods is a trial from Allah accept their fate with full trust in Him. However, the same situation will cause material and spiritual damage to those who are unaware. They will become dejected and, as this feeling grows, become more unbalanced and irritable until they lose their mental health. Being rejected by their circle of acquaintances and losing their luxuries will only make things worse; it might even bring some individuals to the brink of suicide. As we can see, unaware people have no trust in Allah, are rebellious, and live their lives far removed from His will.
The Reasons for Unawareness
Not listening to one's conscience
The conscience is a guide that, by Allah's inspiration, always points to the right path:
And (I swear by) the self and what proportioned it and inspired it with depravity or a sense of duty. One who purifies it has succeeded; one who covers it up has failed.
Ash-Shams: 7-10
Depravity is the desire to fulfill the ego's desires and passions even if it means doing what is forbidden or illegal. Allah constantly inspires, through one's conscience, a warning against depravity. Constantly obeying this voice cleanses and purifies people from sin and leads them to salvation and happiness. Those who follow their ego first fall into the depths of unawareness and then advance on the road to perdition:
And they repudiated them (Our Signs) wrongly and haughtily, despite their own certainty about them.
An-Naml: 14
The conscience constantly warns people against the ego's limitless desires and urges them to follow the right path. Unaware people do not heed this warning, thinking that it will make them unhappy because it conflicts with the desires of their egos. And so they try to silence this divine warning, not realizing that its source, Allah, is calling them to the true path of eternal happiness.
The unawareness into which people fall as a result of ignoring this voice grows worse as they indulge in so much immorality (e.g., limitless sin and wickedness) that the ensuing rebelliousness, sin, and depravity cause their egos to begin deteriorating. They are now so profoundly unaware that they want to live in this state of wickedness forever:
Yet humanity still wants to deny what is ahead of him, asking: "So when is the Day of Rising?" But when the eyesight is dazzled, the Moon is eclipsed, and the Sun and Moon are fused together, on that Day humanity will ask: "To where can I run?" No indeed! There will be no safe place. On that Day, the only resting place will be your Lord.
Al-Qiyama: 5-12
People who do not listen to this divine voice are in a great fall, for the resulting unawareness, which has alienated them from Him, brings with it a level of suffering far beyond our imagination: the burning pit of Hell.
Ignoring destiny
Destiny means that, whether living or non-living, every thing's, condition and experiences are determined beforehand by Allah. This is true of every creature, from a tiny mosquito to an elephant; from a tiny new-born fish in the ocean and microscopic creatures in every part of the world to all living things in the vast universe.
Nobody can choose even one of their physical attributes (e.g, their complexion, eye color, or height) or their parents. Given that they cannot determine such basic things, how can they possibly determine the course of their own lives? As revealed in the Qur'an: "We have created all things in due measure"
Al-Qamar: 49
Anyone who is aware of this should seek Allah's mercy and favor when they use their possessions and experience anything. In fact, the Qur'an is the only guide that shows people how to do this. No human being, whether a powerful businessman or a tribesman, and no other creature, whether an animal living in the depths of the oceans or an insect in a primeval forest, can alter or escape the fate determined for them by Allah:
You do not engage in any matter, recite any of the Qur'an, or do any action without Our witnessing you while you are occupied with it. Not even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, either on Earth or in heaven. Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger than that, which is not in a Clear Book.
Yunus: 61
We are told in the Qur'an that every moment and experience through which a person passes is determined by destiny. Those who ignore the facts revealed in the Qur'an think that they live in this vast universe, among billions of other people, due to blind and unconscious chance. So, they regard themselves as creatures who are free to do whatever they want. Under the illusion that they are autonomous and independent of Allah, they plunge into deep unawareness.

Zero Tolerance = Zero IQ: Man Charged under Serious Crimes Act for Organising Water Fight
This is a guest post by Jo O'Reilly.
As an Essex Girl I am (yes, still) used to jokes mocking my perceived lack of intelligence, but as a Briton whatever that means these days I can usually cling to a sense of intellectual superiority compared to those across the pond, but no more.
Thanks' for that Essex Police.
On Monday they made us looks not only as a county, but as a country look pretty bloody stupid.
Following a bizarre but innocuous tweet about a missing budgerigar at the Westcliffe Co-Op came the either bad attempt at humour or cause for taxpayers concern:
'Colchester man, 20, charged after allegedly using Blackberry to arrange water fight. Will appear in court on Sept 1.'
Yes, that is right a water fight, not even partaking in a water fight but arranging one. I spent my childhood in Essex arranging water fights that often didn't go ahead, (we were told to come home for dinner) of course I didn't have a blackberry back then so it was clearly far less sinister.
They must have been astounded by the amount of criticism, hilarity and confusion this caused as they followed with another tweet explaining much more clearly:
Re water fight comments – police believe there may be more involved in light of recent disorder.
Oh well that is OK then, in light of recent disorder in London planning water fight by BBM in Essex is now illegal.
Now we could give the police the benefit of the doubt here at assume that they are just really bad at PR. That actually the accused was planning to arrange some form of serious violent criminal act via his blackberry messenger service, or was at least attempting to incite a riot. That in fact whoever is charge of the Essex Police Twitter account is just a bit well, silly.
However if you pay a visit to the Essex Police Website, you will find the page they have dedicated to reassure us, the people of Essex that they are keeping us safe from riots – riots that never actually happened within the county, and the incident is there in plain legalese:
"A 20-year-old man from Colchester who allegedly sent messages from a Blackberry encouraging people to join in a water fight has been charged with encouraging or assisting in the commission of an indictable only offence under the Serious Crime Act 2007. He has been conditionally bailed to appear at Colchester Magistrates' Court on September 1."
Encouraging people to join in a water fight is an offence under the serious crime act 2007? The SERIOUS Crime act. What, was there acid in the super soakers?
The tweet caused so much attention on twitter from those concerned that they may now need a license for owning water pistols, that the NY Time caught onto it and it was covered in the NY times news blog.
So there you go Essex Police are now a laughing stock but at least they are working to keep the country safe from water fights.
As one astute commenter from Boston posted
"Sometimes 'zero tolerance' equals 'zero IQ'."

On this web page we present the data from the first run of the computer calculation of the mod-2 cohomology of groups of order 8, 16, 32 and 64. to see the results of the second run click here.. All of the calculations were run using the MAGMA computer algebra system. The groups are indexed by their Hall-Senior Numbers.
The first run was terminated in July of 1997. The cohomology rings of all but 5 of the 267 groups of order 64 were calculated and are posted.
The following document presents a brief explaination of some of the terms and concepts that appear in the output of the calculations of the mod-p cohomology rings. The reader who is interested in more detail is invited to consult the papers [CGS] and [Test]. Other references to specific items are given below. The links in the references are to Dave Benson's electronic archives from which most of the papers can be ftp'd.
This web page is very experimental and is not likely to be refereed or reviewed by anyone except the users. Please feel free to send me any suggestions for improvement as well as any misprints or mistakes that you might notice.
Most of the calculations that are posted were performed on an SUN ULTRA 2200, (the sloth). The machine has 1024 M. of RAM and approximately 12 G. of hard drive. More notes on the details of the calculations are given below. I want to thank the National Science Foundation and University of Georgia Research Foundation for providing me with both the equipment and the time to work on this project.
All of the programs are written in MAGMA code and run on the MAGMA platform. Thanks are due to John Cannon and Allan Steel of the MAGMA project for numerous instances of help with the tools to make the programs work and for their enthusiastic support. It is my hope that the programs will be included in MAGMA in some later release. In the meanwhile anyone who is interested may ftp a tar file "cohomology.tar" containing the programs. I apologise for the lack of documentation. I hope to correct that situation in the not too distant future. If you would like a very brief description of what is in the file "cohomology.tar.z" then click here.
The goal is to compute as many examples as possible of mod-p cohomology rings of finite p-groups. In the early stages we have looked at the groups of order 64, as the groups of order 32 have been done [R]. Ultimately we would like to calculate the cohomology of larger 2-groups, of other p-groups for odd primes p and to use the information to calculate the cohomology rings of finite groups other than p-groups. Some of the last has already been done (e.g. see [CMM]). If there is anyone else who has calculations that they would like to make public then I would be happy to post the files on my server or to establish links to other web pages as appropriate.
The calculations on the sloth run in essentially two stages. The first is all groups, modules and linear algebra, The second stage is all Gröbner basis and commutative algebra calculations. First of all the groups are called out of the library on MAGMA. For each group the MAGMA library number is given though the group is posted according to its HALL-SENIOR number (see [HaSe]). Some routine information about each group is computed and printed. After that the actual calculation of the cohomology begins. For notation let G denote the group and let k be the prime field F2.
The first step is the computation of a standard free module for the group algebra. In particular, matrices for the action of a minimal set of generators for G and also for a power commutator set of generators for G on the free module kG are fixed. In this way the programs can rely almost entirely on linear algebra. That is, the more time consuming module theoretic machinery is used only at the beginning. Next a minimal projective resolution of the trivial module is computed and stored. Because the rate of growth (complexity) of the projective resolution is related to the 2-rank of G the number of steps that were computed for each resolution varied according to the following formula.
Of course, the point about abelian groups is that the cohomology rings are generated in degrees 1 and 2 and the relations are well known. One justification for this scheme is that for groups of large 2-rank, the elements in a system of parameters will lie in low degrees. That is, it can be predicted that if G has order 64 and 2-rank 4 then the elements in a system of parameters will lie in degree 4 or less. If the 2-rank is 5 the parameters will lie in degree 2 or less. This can be proved using norm maps.
Once the projective resolution is obtained the computer begins constructing chain maps for the cohomology generators. This is a careful process and no excess generators are computed. That is, the cup product of any two cohomology elements is obtained as the composition of the corresponding chain maps. The program computes some of the products as it goes and hence the only generators for which the chain maps are calculated are those which are not polynomials in the other generators. The printed output of this stage of the program is a list of the generators and a list of their degrees.
Following the chain map calculation we get the relations among the generators. That is, for a degree n, within the range of the computation, all possible monomials of degree n in the generators are computed. Each such monomial is a k-homomorphism from the nth term, modulo its radical, in the projective resolution into k. Thus the set of relations among the monomials is the null space of the matrix whose rows are the matrices of these homomorphisms. Hence we have determined all possible relations of degree n in the generators. Of course this information is too massive to be helpful. What we really want is a minimal set of generators for the ideal of relations. To get the ideal we need to call upon the Gröbner basis machinery. Hence we are led to Stage 2. The program actually produces a minimal set of generators for the ideal of relations. The notation is taken directly from the output from MAGMA. Hence "*" means multiplication and "^n" means nth power.
Once a minimal set of relations has been presented then the computation of the cohomology ring is (probably!) complete. The problem now is to prove it is complete. In [Test] we provide a scheme for the proof. All of this is based on conjectures about the nature of mod-p cohomology rings, but the fortunate thing is that the conjectures can be checked from the output of the computation. From here until the end, all of the calculations are entirely within the domain of the commutative algebra packages on MAGMA.
The Hilbert series for the cohomology ring and the factorizations of its numerator and denominator are given. This computation required only slight modification of existing algorithms.
A system of parameters for H*(G, k) is a collection of elements, x1, ..., xr with the property they generate a polynomial subring of the cohomology ring for H*(G, k) and moreover the cohomology ring is a finitely generated module over that polynomial subring. Hence it is necessary that r be equal to the 2-rank of G which is the Krull dimension of the cohomology ring of H*(G, k). The program then finds the depth of the cohomology ring by computing the longest regular sequence. There are some problems with the implementation of this routine which are noted below in the section on problems. However the accuracy of the calculation is verified in the next calculation.
The hypercohomology spectral sequence is described in detail in the paper [BC] (see also [Test]). It is a spectral sequence whose E2 page is the Koszul complex of H*(G, k) with respect to the system of parameters chosen above. What is actually printed is the homology of the Koszul complex. In the event that the cohomology ring is Cohen-Macaulay the spectral sequence plays no part in the test for the completion of the calculation and is omitted. In this case the homology would all exist on the bottom row (Row 0). In the event that the depth of the cohomology ring is one less than the Krull dimension then the homology of the Koszul complex lies on two rows. The bottom row (Row 0) is presented by giving bases of the vector spaces of the homogeneous parts of the ring H*(G, k)/x1, ..., xr . The bases for this row and the others are presented by degrees. That is the output
would indicate that the space in degree one has basis consisting of the elements z, x, and w, the space in degree two has basis consisting of zx and u, etc. The symbol [] is to be interpreted as indicating that the space is the zero space.
The celebrated theorem of Quillen [Q] tells us that the minimal primes of the cohomology ring H*(G, k) are the radicals of the kernels of restrictions to the conjugacy classes of maximal elementary abelian p-subgroups of G. Because we are only dealing with the case p = 2 the cohomology rings of the elementary abelian p-subgroups are in fact integral domains and hence the minimal primes of the cohomology rings of G are the kernels of restrictions. The restriction map programs are described briefly in [CMM]. A complete list of representatives of the maximal elementary abelian subgroups was computed as part of the early information on the group. In this section is listed the representative, the images of the generators for the cohomology of G as elements in the polynomial ring which is the cohomology of the elementary abelian subgroup, and a list of the generators of the kernel of the restriction map.
The intersection of the minimal primes is the nilradical of the cohomology ring. In the event that this intersection is equal to the ideal of relations of the cohomology ring of G then the output of the program is the statement the the nilradical of the cohomology ring is zero. Otherwise the program prints a list of generators for the nilradical (intersection of the minimal primes) that are not in the ideal of relations for the cohomology ring.
A standard routine in MAGMA computes the maximal subgroups of the group G. Then these subgroups are matched with the isomorphic subgroups of order 32. Note that if the subgroup is abelian then the cohomology of the subgroup is known from the structure of the group. The cohomology ring of the subgroup is then computed out to the maximum of the degrees of the generators of H*(G, k). This is for the purposes of computing the images of the generators of H*(G, k) under the restriction map and also for computing the kernel of the restriction. If the subgroup is not abelian then the cohomology ring of the subgroup is pulled from the record of the cohomology rings of the groups of order 32. Using the constructed isomorphism of the subgroup with the group of the record the restriction map is created and the images of the generators of H*(G, k) in the cohomology ring of the subgroup are determined. Also the kernel of the restriction map is computed.
The intersections of the kernels of restriction to the maximal subgroups is known as the essential cohomology. This ideal is constructed using the commutative algebra capabilities in MAGMA. The conjecture in [Test] is that the essential cohomology is nonzero only if the depth of the cohomology ring H*(G, k) is equal to the p-rank of the center of G. Moreover in the case that the essential cohomology is nonzero then it is further conjectured that it is a finitely generated free module over the polynomial subring Q generated by the elements of the longest regular sequence in H*(G, k). The finitely generated part of this last question is easily checked by testing the dimension of the ideal of the essential cohomology using routines which are built into MAGMA. That is, if the dimension of the ideal of the essential cohomology is equal to the p-rank of the center of G, then it is also equal to the length of the longest regular sequence by Duflot's Theorem [Du]. A positive answer to the conjecture would also lend evidence for some of the speculation in [Dep]. A test to show that the essential cohomology is a free module over Q seems to be much more difficult and may be beyond reason at this point. The computer program runs a check on this by seeing if the generators for the essential cohomology over Q are also generators for the cohomology ring H*(G, k) as a module over Q. This guarantees the free module property because it is known from commutative algebra (in the case that p-rank = depth) that the whole cohomology ring is a free module over Q. However the failure of the check does not mean that the conjecture is false. We say more about this below.
The paramflag is true if the computed system of parameters restricts to every elementary abelian subgroup as a system of parameters, or at least the cohomology ring of the elementary abelian subgroup is a finitely generated module over the subring generated by the restrictions of the elements in the system of parameters. Hence if the paramflag is true then we are guaranteed that the computed system of parameters is really a system of parameters for the cohomology ring. This check is an essential ingredient in the test for completion.
If the qregflag is true then the computed system of parameters is a quasiregular sequence (see [BC] or [Test]) for the computed cohomology ring. That is if, x1, ..., xr is a system of parameters for the computed cohomology ring R then for each i we have that multiplication by xi on R/(x1, ..., xi-1) at least in degrees larger than, deg(x1)+ ...+deg(xr). This check is an essential ingredient in the test for completion.
The cmflag is true if the cohomology ring is Cohen-Macaulay. This is not really a part of the test for completion.
The essflag is true if the essential cohomology is zero. In the case that the essential cohomology is not zero then the essflag is still true provided the the annihilator of the essential cohomology has dimension equal to the p-rank of the center of the group. This would imply that the essential cohomology is a finitely generated module over the polynomial subring Q of the cohomology ring generated by a regular sequence of maximal length. There is one further check that is run in the case that the essential cohomology is nonzero and its annihilator has the right dimension. That is, we check to see if the generators of the essential cohomology as a module over Q are also free generators of the cohomology ring as a module over Q. A failure of this last check does not mean that the essential cohomology is not a free module over Q. But at this point some hand checking is necessary. This check is an essential ingredient in the test for completion.
The centflag is true is the essential cohomology is zero or if the annihilator of the essential cohomology has dimension larger than the p-rank of the center of the group. If neither of these is true then the depth of the cohomology ring must be equal to the p-rank of the center. So it is important to be certain that the computed longest regular sequence for the cohomology ring is guaranteed to be a regular sequence. The check for this is to make sure that the restriction of these elements to the center of the group is a regular system of parameters. This check is an essential ingredient in the test for completion.
In order to keep the computations running the program instructed the machine not to perform certain kernel of restriction programs if the number of variables was too large. In such a case the bigflag was set at false. The negation does not imply that the computation is not complete, but only means that the test for completion has not been run. In the initial posting the computations with false bigflag were left out. We hope that advances in the techniques will eventually take care of all of these problems.
The restrictflag is true as long as the ideal of relations for the cohomology ring is contained in all of the kernels of restriction. This flag is a check on the validity of the program itself and has nothing to do with the calculation.
Most of the problems related to the calculations are concerned with the commutative algebra operations. In this section I want to outline some of the difficulties that have been encountered and request help and suggestions from anyone who might know how some of these things should be handled. At some time, I hope to post a collection of challenge problems. These would mostly be problems that applications in MAGMA do not seem to be able to handle. Some of the Gröbner basis calculations may simply be too large to do with the present technology. Others might be possible with application of the right technique. I hope eventually to look at some of the stickier problems with other computer algebra programs. It is a matter of finding the time to do it all.
The primary problem with the projective resolutions and chain maps is that there is a lot of randomness to the process which sets up the computation. One of the results is that the generators of the cohomology are sometimes not chosen in such a way as to make the relations as simple and compact as possible. It is clear from some of the examples that a simple change of variables would make the ideal of relations easier to understand. Of course, it would be possible to go through the entire set of groups and change the bases one by one. However such an exercise would be extremely tedious and I would much rather figure out a way to have it done automatically. While this may seem like it is only a problem of aesthetics, it may also have some bearing on the Gröbner basis problems.
The current algorithm (of my own writing) for choosing a system of parameters is simply a search in which the machine chooses polynomials, starting with the generators and proceeding up by degrees, and then testing to see if the Krull dimension of the ring drops when the polynomial is factored out. It continues until the Krull dimension becomes zero. For the purposes of the cohomology calculation this is reasonably satisfactory when it works and when it can find a system of parameters quickly. The problems with the technique are two-fold. Sometimes the search is extremely slow, particularly when the parameters cannot be found in low degrees and when there are many generators for the cohomology. This could possibly be cured by extending the field and/or using the theory to predict the degrees in which the parameters will be located. However the dimension test will run more slowly over a larger field. The second problem is that occasionally the output of the calculation is a system of parameters which does not contain a regular sequence of maximal length. When this happens the calculation of the hypercohomology spectral sequence crashes. Again we could try extending the field with the obvious ill effect.
The cohomology rings of the nonabelian groups of orders 8,16, and 32 are stored in a workspace which is loaded into MAGMA before the computations of the cohomology rings of the groups of order 64 begin. So in particular, it is an easy matter to create a chain map which gives the restriction homomorphism for G to any of its subgroups. Obtaining the images of the generators of the cohomology for G is straightforward and runs in reasonable time. The difficulties start when we try to calculate the kernel of the restriction. This is, of course, an elimination ideal calculation, and such problems are known to be difficult. It has been noted in some examples that improvements in running time can be achieved by changing the ordering on the variables. However, most such improvements are made only on an ad hoc basis and I know of no general formula for dealing with the situation. This problem may turn out to be the most basic stumbling block to getting the cohomology rings of all of the groups of order 64.

VATICAN LETTER Sep-28-2007 (800 words) Backgrounder. xxxi
Has German pope re-Italianized the Roman Curia?
By John Thavis
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Is Pope Benedict XVI re-Italianizing the Roman Curia?
The question has percolated around Rome in recent months as a string of Vatican appointments left Italian prelates in high places.
The pontifical councils that deal with social communications, canon law and cultural issues -- until recently headed by an American, a Spaniard and a Frenchman -- are now in the hands of Italian bishops.
So are the Vatican Library and Secret Archives. The Vatican City governor's office, which had been headed by U.S. Cardinal Edmund C. Szoka, reverted to an Italian for the first time in 26 years.
An Italian Jesuit now directs the Vatican Press Office, taking over from a Spaniard.
A number of important middle-management posts at the Vatican, particularly in diplomatic and financial areas, also have gone to Italians.
Some suspect the Italian resurgence may reflect the influence of Italian Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican's energetic secretary of state, who took office a year ago.
In a recent interview with the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire, Cardinal Bertone was asked bluntly: "Is the era of the internationalization of the Roman Curia really over?"
The cardinal responded by pointing out that Italians were still outnumbered by non-Italians as heads of curial offices. He said internationalization was still the way to go, but that geographic identity should never be the determining factor in such appointments.
To illustrate that non-Italians were also being chosen, he cited the recent appointments of a Nigerian protocol chief and a Spanish head of the Vatican's almsgiving office -- not exactly top-level positions.
When the Polish Pope John Paul II was elected in 1978, he was the first non-Italian to sit on the throne of St. Peter in more than 450 years. Many Italians considered this an aberration and fully expected one of their own to succeed him.
When Pope Benedict, a German, was elected instead -- in a conclave that by all accounts did not field a strong Italian candidate -- it ended any lingering illusion that the papacy belonged to Italy.
But perhaps because he had worked at the Vatican for 24 years, Pope Benedict was familiar with the Italian members of the Roman Curia, appreciated their management skills and began turning to them when it came time to put his own team into place.
So far, he has put nine Italians in charge of key Vatican offices, compared to five people from the rest of the world. When one includes the No. 2 and No. 3 positions in curial offices, the appointments total 18 Italians and seven from other countries.
The Italian presence is most visible in the Secretariat of State, where the top seven officials are now Italian, and in two important offices that control the Vatican's budget and investment affairs, where all the top people are Italian.
Yet those numbers do not tell the whole story. Of the Vatican's nine congregations, traditionally the most important of Vatican offices, eight are headed by non-Italians. The lone Italian is Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops.
Early in his pontificate, the pope named U.S. Cardinal William J. Levada as his successor at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It's an appointment that never went down well in some Italian quarters, and the Rome rumor mill regularly churns out speculation -- apparently unfounded -- that Cardinal Levada may soon be replaced by an Italian.
The pope has since brought in three other "foreigners": Indian Cardinal Ivan Dias at the evangelization congregation, Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes at the clergy congregation, and Argentine Archbishop Leonardo Sandri at the Eastern churches congregation.
That makes for an unprecedented international mix at the helm of the nine congregations: prelates from nine different countries and five different continents.
In the recent newspaper interview, Cardinal Bertone touched on a related hot topic when he said a reorganization of the Roman Curia was still under study as a hypothesis.
The first few months of Pope Benedict's pontificate brought reports of an imminent reduction of curial offices, tantalizing those who think the Vatican bureaucracy has grown too large and that the German pope would not hesitate to cut it back.
But as a veteran of the Roman Curia, Pope Benedict no doubt remembers that Pope John Paul had a similar plan at the start of his pontificate. When it was finally implemented after 16 years, it turned out to be a minireform instead of a major overhaul and created as many curial agencies as it eliminated.
Pope Paul VI, who also wrestled with the Vatican bureaucratic structure, once remarked that making major changes to the Roman Curia was like trying to "change tires on a moving car -- almost impossible."

Sabbath Activities #4
Here you go. More things your children can do to keep the Sabbath day holy. Instead of a list of "don't's" on Sunday, give them a list of "do's". These are great ideas for adult worship too.
Faith in God:
Preparing for the Priesthood (also Preparing for Young Women, with slightly different language) #4: "Read D&C 88:77–80, 118 and D&C 130:19. Discuss with a parent or Primary leader how important a good education is and how it can help strengthen you as a priesthood holder in your home and family and in the Church."
Duty to God:
Priest Family Activities #8: "Read D&C 134, and discuss with your parents how it relates to your responsibilities as a citizen of your country." (See note below.)
Personal Progress:
Integrity requirement #3: "The Savior is the perfect example of integrity; He did what He promised the Father He would do. Read 3 Nephi 11:10-11. Study the lives of other individuals in the scriptures who lived with integrity. Read Genesis 39; the book of Esther; Job 2:3; 27:3-6; Daniel 3 and 6; Acts 26; Doctrine and Covenants 124:15; and Joseph Smith—History 1:21–25. In your journal identify the ways these people demonstrated integrity. Think of a time when you had the courage to show integrity, especially when it was not easy or popular. Share your experience and your feelings about it in a testimony meeting or lesson or with a parent or Young Women leader."
Cub Scouts:
Reading and Writing Pin requirement #5: "Create a bookmark that you can use, or design a book cover."
Boy Scouts:
Citizenship in the Nation merit badge requirement 2d: "Choose a national monument that interests you. Using books, brochures, the Internet (with your parent's permission), and other resources, find out more about the monument. Tell your counselor what you learned, and explain why the monument is important to this country's citizens." (Click here for a surprisingly long list of national monuments.)
*Note: if you're also working on the Duty to God idea above, check out Citizenship in the Nation requirement #1, because the two are very similar.

This thread is to discuss the strategy of killing Baron as fast as possible in order to end the game in under 20 minutes. So far this is my team's record. I know other people out there have at least thought of it. The general thought behind this strategy is regardless of slight differences in skill, a team slightly underskilled or with a typically sub-par team setup can still dominate the game fairly early. Our setup: Siver (me) Taric (jpg420) Kayle (Sajuuk) Ashe/Trist (Twisted) Scion (Steally) Our thought was stacking as much team-based auras/abilities as possible. As Siver, I will typically solo a lane until level 12 (at least I used to) until I have farmed enough for a starks. edit: My item build is: Chalice, dodge boots, Starks, phage. (I don't generally have time to finish phage.) Until recently, we thought we had to have a starks in order to go into Baron at lvl 10. But this doesn't really seem to be the case. With my ult, taric's ult, rally and Scions ult, we generally don't need it. So potentially youcould be going into Baron at 12 minutes or less. The game up until then generally consists as a normal game does with the exception of ganks. If a lane we are vs'ing likes to tower dive we will generally adjust our lane assignments to be able to continually get xp and gold. This is the primary focus and not killing enemy heroes. We sometimes still do, but only if people do something stupid. Even if one of us dies to a gank early game or a mistake, as soon as everyone is around level 10, we can Baron. (Siver will be around level 12 and either have or is very close to a starks) After baron, it really doesn't matter what happens... Even if opposing team is pushing a lane. We all blue-pill... buy up, and pick a lane to push. With the team aura/ult synergies/Baron buff we can kill outer-lane turret, inner-lane turret, outer-base turret, inhib, both inner -base turrets, and base in under 2 minutes. Even if people blue pill or try to stop us... with the synergies we run them over. If they all know what is happening and blue pill immediatley they can ssometimes stop the base-kill, but not before we destroy most of everything... we will always at least get an inhib. At that point we just wait for res, then port into that lane again and end it. We generally laugh after the game and wonder if the other team is saying "wtf", but I can deffinitely see a problem with the Baron buff in general. As it stands now, it seems so powerful and is begging to be exploited. Anywho... Thought I'd throw this out. Get some discussion going on the Baron buff or even creep buffs in general.. But as a strategy, we've found it is the most effective.
That sounds awesome. I don't think it's imba either. If the opposing team is careful, they should spot that you're all MIA as you go for Baron and they gank you there.
the screen shot i have has most of us at level 8-9 whilst sivir is 11-12. cna't remember now. i'll post it when i get home. and @ howlingkommando, i'd wait to be on the receiving end of this before i made that kinda decision about imba . we seriously pushed from outside tower to nexus in under 2 min. the other team started out trying to out push us in the opposite lane (we where top, they where bot). we got to their base whist they only got 1 tower. by they time they blue pilled we where on the inhib. this is just one example we have been working on this the last few nights and it's pretty seriously out of control. Playing taric i can say without a doubt that his ulti needs nerfing. i found the best way to pull this off is to get the golem buff before you baron. so you can have your ulti up for the whole fight. with your damage output when combined with sivir's ulti, you don't loose much mana at all. when the fight is over you and your allies will need to go refill/buy. everyone teleport to a lane and push. I am able to turn on the ulti at the first tower and never turn it off again i just have to keep attacking. If anyone come to try to stop you, taric and sion each have 2+ second stuns which is enough time to focus 1 person without any resistance. we made the mistake the first few times of as soon as we got the baron buff we ran in suicidial like so be patient and work as a team. vent is your friend! Once sivir gets the starks i'ts GG.
You been ganked properly yet trying this tactic? Just wonderin (I'm gonna be claivoyancing Baron from now on:P)
You ass hat!!! we were keeping this a secret!
1 cv > your strategy
Well god forbid I get on the opposing team then O.o If this works as well as you say though it'll get nerfed soon.

"Christ's resurrection is for men and for the whole of creation, including the principalities of this world. Through the encounters between Christ and the principalities and between Christ and death, the power of death is exhausted. The reign of death and, within that, the pretensions sovereignty over history of the principalities is brought to an end in Christ's resurrection. He bears the fullness of their hostility toward him; he submits to their condemnation; he accepts their committal of himself to death, and in his resurrection he ends their power and the power they represent. Yet the end of the claims of the principalities to sovereignty is also the way in which these very claims are fulfilled in Christ himself. The claim of a nation, ideology, or other principality to rule history, though phony and futile, is at the same time an aspiration for salvation, a longing for the reality which does indeed rule history. In the same event in which the pretension of the principality is exposed and undone, how and in whom salvation is wrought and disclosed and demonstrated. In Christ the false lords of history, the principalities, are shown to be false; at the same time, in Christ the true Lord of history is made known. In Christ is both the end and fulfillment for all principalities, for all men, and for all things."

Standing in [...]
Men in community, restoring wholeness to ourselves and Soul to the world.
April 17, 2012
It has been some time since I have taken time to sit down and visit with you.
This morning much is on my mind but I am especially aware of how quickly our annual conference is approaching–Memorial Day weekend, May 25th to 28th — Friday afternoon/evening through Monday morning, beneath the towering redwoods in Camp 3, nestled in the valley of the North Fork of the Little River — more like a stream than a river — between Camp 1 and Camp 2 at the Mendocino Woodlands, a twenty or thirty minute drive inland and down from the South end of the town of Mendocino — certainly we arrive at a sacred space at the end of that descent.
As I write to you I am sitting with my laptop in Portland, Oregon, in the home of my one time high school classmate, June Quackenbush, where I have come to visit each April for the last three years and where I will move in early 2013. Obviously, the land of the open heart is not limited by geography but geographic distance does have a profound impact on how we experience connection with each other. Relocating to Portland will allow the intimate daily partnership that June and I have, by some miracle, been graced to discover with each other. At the same time the profound, certainly life changing connections and even the more casual ones that I have been blessed to make and develop in the Bay Area over the last twenty years will be wrenched and stretched by this new distance — challenged to be redefined, cared for and developed in new ways.
Even as I embrace the gain, the joy of my new life, I embrace the the loss, the sorrow that is there. In fact, it is only by the constant acknowledgment of and holding of and the grieving of this loss, that I am free to love the new life I am already living.
The Jimenez poem on the front of this year's conference brochure represents that moment of profound awareness, that, in turn, raises the question for us, "Are we already standing in the new life?"
My answer is, "Yes, we always are!" Embedded in and central to this affirmation is an acknowledgment of our loss that must be grieved as surely as our new life must be embraced, if we choose to be alive at all. As in the Jimenez poem, moments of insight are passive but they always allow a way forward, allow for action, even call us to action. So my question is always, "What is mine to do in this new life that is constantly becoming old and then new again and old and new again?"
There are many ways to go at this point but what comes to mind as a kind of companion piece to Jimenez — and I'm not entirely sure I could explain why it comes to mind — is Rilke's poem:
The Man Watching
I can tell by the way the trees beat, after
so many dull days, on my worried windowpanes
that a storm is coming,
and I hear the far-off fields say things
I can't bear without a friend,
I can't love without a sister.
The storm, the shifter of shapes, drives on
across the woods and across time,
and the world looks as if it had no age:
the landscape, like a line in the psalm book,
is seriousness and weight and eternity.
What we choose to fight is so tiny!
What fights with us is so great!
If only we would let ourselves be dominated
as things do by some immense storm,
we would become strong too, and not need names.
When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small.
What is extraordinary and eternal
does not want to be bent by us.
I mean the Angel who appeared
to the wrestlers of the Old Testament:
when the wrestlers' sinews
grew long like metal strings,
he felt them under his fingers
like chords of deep music.
Whoever was beaten by this Angel
(who often simply declined the fight)
went away proud and strengthened
and great from that harsh hand,
that kneaded him as if to change his shape.
Winning does not tempt that man.
This is how he grows: by being defeated, decisively,
by constantly greater beings.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
What I do know, my brothers, is ours is not a passive "standing" in that realization but an active wrestling with the large angles in our lives as we try to figure out how to engage and manifest personally, among our friends, in this community and in the broader world which teeters always on the brink . . . what is mine to do? What is ours to do?
Looking forward to joining you and wrestling together under the redwoods. Until next time, I hold you in my heart,
Brother Bill
Hi Bill…..can you send me your snail mail address…..I may send you something in a few weeks, when it gets published..
Rilke's The Man Watching is one of my very favorites.
"Winning does not tempt that man.
This is how he grows: by being defeated, decisively,
by constantly greater beings."
The sentiment in those lines is so very precious. We are not made great by our victories, our successes. As Rilke says:
"When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small."
If only we can embrace the call to try great things while accepting that our failures are not to be avoided but celebrated as powerful enriching opportunities for growth. It sounds so annoyingly new age and yet it couldn't be more authentically true. And once again, in this moment, it is the advice I need the most. Thank you.
Portland is a beautiful, progressive city and I have no doubt you with thrive up there. Just be sure to "Honor Thy Raingear" so you don't get rusty! But then you are already up there regularly so you already know.
Thanks, Scott.
How often poems come to me at appropriate times–both old familiar ones and new unknown ones.
The Rilke poem comes to and through me from Brother Hari. If I remember correctly, I first encountered it when I heard him speak it aloud at a mini-conference before our 2010 annual conference. I may have also heard Doug speak it on occasion–can't remember . . . or Larry . . . or Barry . . .
Imagine being ignorant of that poem.
Imagine how many poems are left to discover and rediscover over and over. Imagine that nourishment.
From the beginning, this community of men has offered this feast. Do I love it? I do.

This is the crazy part, a small group of Valero executives tells you shortly afterward in a conference room in their boxy utilitarian offices next to the front gate. There's no such thing as dirty oil. There's heavy oil, there's sour oil, there's light-and-sweet crude, but they all have emissions when you start refining them. With heavy oil you have to do more processing, that's all. And that's what refineries like this are set up to do. They've been doing it for decades. Nothing is going to change. They'll stay within their emissions standards. There's nothing new except having to expand production a bit. "So we look at a stable, reliable supply that we have with a trading partner we value very highly, and they're gonna produce the oil anyway... ."
"And it's gonna get refined somewhere... ."
"We're gonna run it or they're gonna send it to China... ."
"And their refineries won't be as clean as what we're buildin' here... ."
The cost of gas is a side issue dreamed up by Washington. There is a temporary glut in the Midwest, but that's a ridiculous situation there's crude being run on trains. It won't last.
The national-security issue is bogus, too. "All crudes today get bought on world markets period," says an amiable executive named Greg Gentry.
Democrats have maintained that Valero will sell much of the refined Canadian oil to China. But Gentry explains. Valero doesn't drill for its own oil. Every single day, they're out there trying to buy two and a half million barrels of the stuff. When they built their new coker back in 2000, for example, they did a deal with the Mexican government to buy Maya crude. Without the heavy crude, they got nothing to put in the coker. But Maya's dropped off huge and Venezuela is declining too, which affects their ratable sales. And ratable sales are all about predictability. So Valero has to buy and sell 2.5 million barrels a day to whoever's buying i.e., the Chinese.
It's all about the churn. Keeping the system moving. That leaves global warming. In California, they passed a regulation called AB 32 that calls for a reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels. Valero has refineries in California, so they looked very closely at this issue. "The fact is, if global warming is a global problem, you can't do anything to solve it on a state-by-state level," Gentry says.
That's why Valero became so vocal against the California regulation. Same thing with cap-and-trade in Valero's view, the benefit just did not offset the cost. "If you look at all the CO2 emissions that are in the world," he says, "transportation fuels are an extremely small percentage."
And who knows? There's research that suggests this could be just a natural warming cycle.
That's why he believes that in the end, the whole question comes down to individual freedom and individual responsibility. "If you as an individual truly wanna make an effect, then quit driving. And turn your air conditioner off in the summertime."
There are malcontents and gadflies here, too. Behind the wheel of his big black SUV, the only car that fits and befits a man so big and black, Hilton Kelley shows the other side of the story. "This is downtown. Back in '84, '85, this place was somewhat still alive. J.C. Penney's was over here, there was Kress, there were shoe stores and laundromats and banks."
Now it's just one abandoned building after another, with a handful of government buildings in between.
Turning his car left, he crosses a dusty set of railroad tracks and suddenly there's nothing but fields and the traces of old building foundations. This is the black ghetto, he says. "Back in the sixties and seventies, there were a row of nightclubs here. There was a cab stand, a little hotel two stories high. This here was the seamen's union hall."
Gone back to nature, every one.
"As a matter of fact," he says, "I saw a coyote not long ago running right here down Howard Street. And there's falcons that sit up on the poles here you see little rabbits that run across the street, the falcons are scoopin' 'em off."
Kelley was born here fifty-two years ago, delivered by a midwife in a housing project butt up against the fence of one of the biggest oil refineries. In the last ten years, he's fought to keep local companies from bringing in twenty thousand tons of PCBs from Mexico to incinerate and fought for compensation after a toxic release so bad, the hospital stopped taking people and they evacuated everybody to an auditorium on the east end of town. He fought when Motiva expanded from 285,000 barrels a day to 600,000 the damn thing stretches for almost two miles now. He fought when they brought VX nerve gas wastewater and said, "You can bathe in it, it's nothing more than caustic water." But when they try to get class-action lawsuits going, the refineries send lawyers to offer $1,000 if they'll just sign off on this release. They won't even put in a siren alarm because they say it will alarm people.
For all of this, he won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2011, which got him a visit to the White House and a personal photo with Barack Obama. The odd thing is that his neighborhood is just an isolated pocket of misery only a few miles away in the white neighborhoods on the east side of town, the fence-line communities next to the refinery are nice suburban neighborhoods. Kelley's distress goes much deeper than the environment. "The difference is that historically they have always communicated with the residents there," he explains. "Whereas in this community they just shunned us, and we had no idea what we were smelling and we didn't agree to live here."
As he speaks, a flare thwops into the air from a tall cement tower.
Kelley seems a bit startled. "Now that's a that's an emission incident."
A cloud of oil-black smoke materializes out of the edges of the flames like a magic trick.
"That is an emission incident," he repeats.
In the old days, he says, these would go on all night. They would rain down oily mist that would wet your clothes. As he talks, the black smoke expands into the shape of a big balloon and keeps expanding and rising.
"That's a toxic cloud. What's in it? Number one, carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, you name it."
It's gone by the time you get out your camera.

They're true little quackers, aren't they? My lone duck, Ari Duckass, finally got out last week when the snow melted off a bit. You can see her muddy self on my blog. Eric, do you raise ducks for eggs or meat or just because you enjoy them? --Johanna |

Thanks jillzee, Have they lost their cuteness? I'll probably skip a few weeks and post some pictures later. Eric |
I'm a sucker for ducks - I'll probably always think they're cute - so I'm probably not the best person to ask! I still like seeing the weekly updates, but if it's getting tiring to post pics every Monday, I'd understand too ;) |
Eric, Happy Birthday! Are they straight run or sexed? The reason I ask, is it appears you have 6 white males. They are just starting to show their male feathering and holding their tails like males do. |
- Posted by eric_wa San Juan, z8 WA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Mar 18, 10 at 20:40
seramas, The White Layer ducks, I paid Metzer Farms to sex them. They did throw in two extra duckling for shipping warmth. The Cayugas are straight run. Will see if I have to make a phone call to Metzer. :( Thank You on the Birthday wish. 46 years young. Eric |

* holding their tails like males do * Hi, Eric, I've been enjoying reading about your ducks on this thread and others. I've been looking over the pics and trying to figure out how the males are holding their tails different. I got 6 Rouen ducklings on March 17 and having a great time with them. I kept them in a large storage box in the kitchen until a few days ago when I built a pen in the garage. Since its still pretty cold here in IL, I put the heat lamp back on them. Will that be enuf for those few days ahead when the temps dips to freezing? I have been taking them outside every afternoon for a while to wander around and swim in our little pond. They have grown so fast and are getting too fast to catch when I want to bring them in. In one thread you mentioned whistling when you want to bring them in at nite. I've tried to get them to follow me by holding out lettuce leaves but its not working. Since I can't whistle, what else can I do to bring them in? Its pretty hard to herd them by myself. |
Hi Eric - is that a man made pond or natural pond? If man made, what is the dimension? Thanks a bunch. Kasie |
- Posted by eric_wa San Juan, z8 WA (email@example.com) on Thu, Apr 8, 10 at 21:35
Barbara, Sorry about the slow response. I'm spending more time on another forum. Heat lamp for your 6 ducklings should be just fine. I used one lamp for 17 ducklings and they were hardly ever under it. If you feed them in their house only, they should follow you in. I hardly have to whistle anymore. When they hear the metal garbage can open, they are at my feet. Always start at day one. Whistle and feed. Rattle their feed bowl and feed them. Some kind of routine. It's fun being the Pied Piper. Kasie, Eric made Pond :~) It's about 20ft by 50ft and around 3ft deep. This September, when it's dry, I will making it deeper with a rented dingo loader. I dug it out last September and made 12 more raised beds in my garden. See you over at the Helpful Gardener - gardening forum |

Mounted Shooting: New Shooters Clinic in Sedro-Woolley
Ever wonder how to get started in mounted shooting?
The Western Washington Mounted Shooters occasionally host new shooters clinics for those interested in becoming involved in the sport. The clinics include a lecture segment on the fundamentals of the sport, instruction on gun handling and safety and acclimation of horses to gunfire.
One such clinic is being held on July 22nd will be taught by three outstanding ladies. Heather Gastelum won 2011 CMSA WA State High Point Cowgirl, was the 2011 CMSA Western Regional L3 Champion and the CMSA Sharp Shooter Overall Champion at the July Shootout, and that was just last year. Karen Klein boasts a series of State Champions and in 2011 was the CMSA AZ Burn Center SL3 Champion. These two ladies will be assisted by Kim Lemke who was the 2011 WWMS Sharp Shooter Champion.
The clinic starts at 9:30 am and goes all day. It provides everything except the horse, saddle and bridle, although shooters are encourage to bring their own firearms, ammo, ear plugs and gun belts if they have them. Cost is $125 + $10 Arena Fee, or $50 for an active audit.
Those interested should print and fill out the application form and liability waivers and mail them per the instructions on the document.

According to NokiaX specifications, it has two sim card slots. Will it have two different IMEI ids as a result of TelephonyManager.getDeviceId call, depending on what sim card is active at the moment?
I've seen some dualsim android devices that suffered from that problem. Should we be concerned about that, if we want to use IMEI as a part of unique device id?
Some manufacturers of android devices provide developers with java functions to retrieve both IMEIs. But I couldn't find such methods in NokiaX SDK.

Mike Walden - Micro-Surgical Technique To Remove Acne Problem
Mike Walden - Other types of acne - If we have different kind of marks or scarring combination (such as very deep scars, zig zag) there can before the laser can ask the doctor to do a session with undermining beneath the scars.
It is a micro-surgical technique that releases the bottom of the scar and is performed under local anesthesia may want to combine with the fractional laser or radio waves (another type of laser) or fill them with hyaluronic. If you have red marks can choose after fractional laser to do some laser pulse dye or to leave redness. In which cases banned? Firstly our doctor will take a history to see if it is allowed to do or not laser.
Article Source By Mike Walden Method
Why there are some conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo are not allowed to do such laser. The dermatologist will evaluate if we tend to do freckles, the Laser if not inserted correctly in advanced treatment with bleaching cream can instead of doing good, to become worse.
As well we do the laser if it has been a year since I was treated and retinoid takes by mouth. The doctor will tell you what creams you get after you have a tendency to doff herpes lips, be sure the days of laser have taken preventive treatment for herpes but for the treatment remedies in advance form there are many products which are available in online market but Acne No More Program proves to be the best among all the natural remedies because it has safe precautions for all those users who want to heal acne and skin issues.
