Westminster College will hold Haiti Relief Week starting tomorrow and several organizations have planned activities to raise awareness of the plight of people in Haiti and to raise money for relief efforts.
"The tragedy in Haiti reminds the entire world that we live in an interconnected and global community," says Westminster President Dr. George B. Forsythe. "The plight of our Haitian neighbors affects us all. Along with millions of people from around the world, Westminster students are responding to the need and applying the lessons of leadership, service and social justice at the heart of our College's mission for the benefit of the Haitian people."
The week will start with a Philosopher's Corner at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16, in Hazel 302 to discuss the crisis in Haiti and what, if anything, should be done in response. Two of the philosophical questions to be discussed are whether individuals have a moral duty to help those in Haiti and similar humanitarian crises and what long term solutions can be found to humanitarian crises such as Haiti's that are often tied to the problems of poverty.
At 8 p.m. that evening, a Pep Rally for Haiti will be held at 8 p.m. in the Hermann Lounge with music, concessions and prizes. Participants will be encouraged to give donations for Haiti relief.
Members of the national honorary leadership fraternity Omicron Delta Kappa and the public services of Reeves Library have organized a trivia night from 7 p.m.-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 17, in the Johnson College Inn area of the Hunter Activities Center. Teams of six will answer questions that reflect the Westminster liberal arts education on subjects such as Westminster history, Churchill, Haitian history and other categories. The cost if $5 per person or $25 a team. Proceeds will go to Haitian relief.
An 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 18, a Chapel Service will be held in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, to explore the question "Who is my neighbor?" and pray for the Haitian people in their time of suffering. An offering will be taken for Haitian relief.
"We want to help remember this tragedy and better understand the suffering of the Haitian people as well as rejoice in their rebuilding and take part in their recovery," says Westminster Chaplain Brad Sheppard.
On Friday, February 18, at the social sponsored by the Student Government Association from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Haiti Relief buttons will be sold. Individual buttons can be purchased for $2 or two buttons for $3. One button offered says "Save Haiti" and has a map of the country on it. The other button says "Blue Jays Love Haiti." The Piece Makers will also sell handmade jewelry during this time period. Proceeds will go toward Haitian relief.
A Pennies for Haitians event, sponsored by the servant-leadership program CIVICUS, will take place all week. Jugs have been placed in Westminster Hall and the Johnson College Inn in Hunter Activities Center where those interested in donating can deposit their change. Later in the week officers and members of CIVICUS will tour the residence halls to college more change. The goal is to earn at least $250 to go toward the Haiti Relief Fund by Friday.
Members of the Westminster servant-leadership program CIVICUS, students participating in other programs of the Center for Leadership & Service and the Westminster Student Government Association are all working on future activities to raise money for Haitian relief.

I have been lacking in the veggie garden department, but it is something I would really like to be better at.
I have read million things but I would really love to see up close what is working for some of you. I was hoping some of you might show me your garden and share your knowledge with me.
I am in Hillsbrough County , but I wouldn't mind traveling to some of my surrounding counties. Thank you |

If you ever happen to be on your way to Daytona, you are more than welcome to stop off in Lake Mary and poke around our gardens. I just love seeing other folks gardens, always learn something new. ~dianne |

Hey! Of course! Right now my gardens starting for fall so once the plants are up some come the end of september I'm planning a potluck type event.. join my blog and ill post info concerning the get together there : ) Also I may have some good pictures and other info on the blog to help you at least get started : ) |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Florida Organic Gardening Blog
I only have a small veggie garden, I do mostly ornamentals, but you are welcome to come see it if you want to drive this far south. |
Nothing to tour here yet, I won't set until sometime in the first two weeks of September so no pictures until then at the earliest. Tom |
Ariel - I don't know where you are at but the next garden get together at my house you are invited and maybe you can ride with somebody if you are far? It won't be till fall when is cooler and also we have more things growing in the garden. I will post the date and everyone is invited. It is also a lot of fun to meet other gardeners, my father always said more heads think better than one and it is true. When you talk to other people you get more ideas. In the meantime, you can always tour my garden here, I do post pictures sometimes and you can also ask me any questions. We are all here to help and share our knowledge. Silvia |
Hi Ariel, My veggie garden is modest compared to many here, but you are welcome to see it. I would give it a month or two when things are growing better. You are about an hour or a little less from me. Remember I came to visit your garden two or three years ago? Anyway, I'm always happy to have visitors. Anna |
You all are the best! It seems that most of you would like me to wait at least a month before I visit and that would be just fine. In the mean time I should be starting my seeds, correct? I also started cleaning out my very small veggie garden. I have some Jalapeño peppers plants that are still alive and kicking. Should I leave them or start with new plants? Silva, it looks like you are a little over an hour away from me, and well worth the trip! Anna, I do remember your visit. In fact, I still have the variegated pineapple plant you gave me. I would love to plan a visit with you and maybe visit Crowley's too. Tom, I love seeing your pictures! Your set up looks amazing! I would love to see it in person. Katkin, I wish you were closer. I would love to visit your garden. If I am ever in the area I will definitely be in touch. Dianne, I occasionally take the kids to Daytona. Next trip we plan, I will be in touch. Organicmomma, I will be in touch soon and to try and work out a time. I look forward to meeting you and seeing your garden! I love your blog! |
Ariel - I do believe that the best way to learn is by visually looking at things either in a picture or in person. Last time I had over 30 people at the house and they were all learning and asking questions they were newbies but when I showed them what I was trying to explain I could see that they got it. Same thing when I had the Italian party and it was all about the tomatoes, the invitation was cooking from the garden with tomatoes as the star. We will make an invitation for the fall to check on our veggie gardens and what is growing then. And about anything that survives keep it and also is a good time to start seedlings according to your zone. Cleaning up the garden and amending the soil it is always a good idea. Keep us updated on your progress. Silvia |
You are welcome to my garden. Although not prime gardening time here, there is still plenty to see. I am centrally located in Tampa. Just let me know. I grow mostly veggies. But I have beautiful water lillies if you visit before 10 AM |
Ariel, You're only about a half hour from my place if you come over the Cross-Town, I'm just off Gandy south of the Dog Track and outside Weedon Island, but not much here to look at in my little 575SQ garden until about October, if I have not started too early. I did start two weeks earlier than I've ever started before and I'm concerned my tomatoes are I'm going to have some pest and disease problems if we have a wet September here right off Tampa Bay. And, when Silvia has her next get-together your more than welcome to go with us ;-) Tom |
Ariel, if you get to Tom's in Oct, you are more than welcome to swing by. I am about a 5 min drive from him. As always, I am mostly tropicals but I have dabbled in veggies with 4 dedicated raised beds. Just PM for my address if it works out. |

Looking for why one would buy a single oven and an additionl speed oven over a double oven option.
I've never used speed oven and guess I don't really understand it. Yeah, it would be nice to cook faster, but all of my recipes have times listed. Also, would a speed oven also take the place of a micro? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A speed oven is smaller, but it can do some different things than a second (double) oven. It can combine the functions of regular and microwave cooking, and it may take the place of a microwave oven, at least in most respects. If you bake large amounts of food and seldom use a micro, then two regular ovens may be more useful for you. [Some would prefer two separate ovens over a double oven for reliability reasons, if space is available; this is a different issue.] If you often cook smaller amounts of food, a large oven is less useful; it takes longer to pre-heat and can't do the faster combination or micro cooking a speed oven can. An alternative, if you prefer to steam stuff rather than micro it, is to get a steam oven as your second oven. |

We got a speed oven (installed but we haven't moved in yet) in place of a second oven. We only have one oven now. The speed oven is also a microwave and I expect that we will use that function most often. However, I have 3 boys and it is very common for us to get home late from sports so the quick dinner option is very appealing. We chose a speed oven so we could eliminate the need for a separate microwave. We made the decision to do a fridge only which required both an icemaker and separate fridge/freezer drawers so we were running out of space for appliances! |
We are like athensmoms - made the same decisions and have 3 kids. i would add that our speed oven is used a lot so much so that i run downstairs to use the microwave down there. i've thought about putting a small microwave in our pantry cabinet but doesn't seem quite worth it. I don't like using our big single oven for small stuff either. The size is appealing. |

I don't have this setup, but one thing I think I read on this site is that one issue with a single oven and then a speed oven relates to the speed oven. The issue is that if you are using the speed oven as an "oven" and then want to use its microwave function like right after you just cooked something that it is to hot and can't do that. AGain, I am going from memory on this so I could be wrong on that info, but it is something to at least look in to and keep in mind. |
Its true that if a speed oven is being used for some other function, like baking, then its not available for use as a microwave. But this is more an argument for having a separate microwave, than it is for having two regular ovens. |
If one oven fails in a double- replace the double. 2 separate ovens- replace each individually We just put in a wolf series E and an advantium. |
there are pasts threads on this topic, so"search" at the bottom of this page. we have this set up and we have no problems with it. we use the speed oven all the time, for oven, micro and combo and love it. use the big oven for bigger trays and or more than one tray. speed oven heats quick which is great. would do again in a minute. we are a fam of 5. we do have old micro downstairs and do use once in awhile but not a problem good luck |

« September 2008 Table of Contents
Clay Conley's menu reads like an itinerary of where he's been and the products he's cooked with. Born in Limerick, Maine, and now the chef at Miami's award-winning Azul in the Mandarin Oriental hotel, Conley's career path has taken him from Boston - where he worked with Todd English of Olives fame - to Las Vegas to Tokyo, and his cooking combines a New Englander's sensitivity for seafood with the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean and Asia.
Seafood constitutes at least 65 percent of Azul's menu at any given time, a reflection of the hot Florida climate and the luxe atmosphere of the restaurant and hotel. Conley is fond of seafood appetizers, especially raw preparations like oysters, ceviches and tartares.
"Seafood is a nice, light, appetizing way to begin a meal," says Conley, who likes to construct a meal as a progression of intensifying flavors, and encourages his customers to dine the same way in the manner that he designs his menu.
In addition to the regular a la carte menu, Conley offers a multi-course tasting menu that changes at least three times a week. Conley also teaches regular weekend cooking classes for hotel guests and locals, such as a recent New England Clambake program co-hosted by the owner of White Water Clams in Hialeah, Fla.
Conley keeps close to his purveyors in all matters, and has cultivated many local fish suppliers - approximately 60 percent of Azul's seafood is locally sourced.
"It's really fun to work with a whole new group of fish than what I'm used to in New England," he says. "Customers expect it, and we get wonderful fresh seafood down here, including Spanish mackerel, stone crab, snapper, grouper and swordfish."
One of Conley's favorite morning rituals is to hop on his Vespa scooter and ride down to Casablanca Seafood, a retail market and restaurant ( SFB Aug. '08, p. 36) that has its own fishing boats and dock.
"They'll call me if something really interesting comes in, and I'll usually go over there and pick it out myself," says Conley. Other suppliers include Gary's Seafood in Orlando, which supplies such high-end restaurants as French Laundry in California.
"With seafood, freshness is a real priority," adds Conley, "and that's why working closely with purveyors is so important."
That and proper handling. For instance, in working with so many raw menu specialties, Conley has developed a number of procedures to ensure top quality.
"The less handling, the better," he insists. "Use gloves, and change them often. You don't want to raise the temperature of fish. As soon as you cut it, return it to the refrigerator. Keep it well-iced at all times."
At Azul, Conley has a unique opportunity to incorporate all of his culinary training and interests. Having risen to the position of culinary director of Todd English's far-flung restaurant empire over the course of 10 years, Conley is well versed in Mediterranean flavors and techniques. He also lived in Tokyo and traveled in Asia while opening the Olives there, falling in love with the Asian culinary sensibility. But with all that reference material, he wanted to return to the kitchen and hands-on cooking, and he lets his creativity fly at Azul.
The signature Yogurt Marinated Swordfish is a good example. Introduced last summer and now so popular that it's a permanent menu fixture in some guise, the specialty represents the kind of flavor and texture interplay that characterizes all Conley's food. Served with a toasted pita and tomato salad, cashews and two saucy elements - minted yogurt and brown butter lobster sauce - the swordfish preparation is all about the culinary domino effect: hot against cool, spicy against sweet, smooth against crunchy.
Pulling from influences both Indian and Moroccan, Conley begins by marinating local Gulf orange swordfish in a tandoori-like mixture of yogurt and puréed raw cashews, spiked with paprika, coriander and other Indian spices, before being grilled. For the pita salad, which takes its inspiration from fattoush - the Middle East's answer to panzanella - pita chips are doused with herbaceous za'atar and fruity extra virgin olive oil, then toasted until crispy and mixed with tomatoes. The dish is finished with a cool, sprightly tart accompaniment of yogurt flavored with mint, vinegar and cilantro, then topped with a warm and nutty flavored brown-butter lobster sauce with cashews. The item has been a huge hit with Azul's customers.
In addition to hotel guests, the restaurant enjoys a fan base that is 60 percent local in-season, an unusually high success rate for hotel food-and-beverage, and testament to Conley's ability to play to locals' well-educated tastes.
One thing that he educates customers about is sustainability. "Most don't really care, but I think that's starting to change," says Conley, who cares very much (his wife works for the International Seakeepers Society). "I look for responsibly raised farmed products whenever I can get the appropriate quality." A new favorite: Japanese farmed hamachi, an exceptionally fatty product that's perfect for Azul specialties like the marinated raw hamachi tiradito (a Peruvian-style ceviche).
"It's amazing what kind of products you can get if you're willing to do the legwork and find them," says Conley. "The marketplace is really changing, and there's some fabulous seafood out there."

Panasonic Readies 42-inch Plasma Set

Hold off a second on those plans for remodeling the media room. Panasonic has a 42-inch plasma TV with full high-definition resolution ready to go by the end of the month.
The move is expected to give Panasonic parent company Matsushita, the world's largest maker of plasma displays, another weapon to fight off makers of LCD sets, who have had a much easier time cramming hi-def into reasonably sized TVs.
The new set will sell for around $3,500, and Matsushita plans to stamp out 25,000 a month.

Anyone have experience growing Portlandia indoors in the winter/outdoors in the summer? I'd definitely appreciate any suggestions. I'm hoping it will adapt to the same care as my Brunfelsia, Cestrum, Gardenia, etc, but with the oyster shell in the potting mix to make it more alkaline. We have a SW facing sunroom with floor to ceiling windows for indoor care. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ohhh, that is pretty! I would like to trade with you for some cuttings - just email me!!!! |
It's a new plant to me and very slow growing , supposedly, so cuttings may take some time. I'll try to remember. |
I am looking for Portlandia grandiflora seeds to buy. Does anyone hove some seeds? This is plant of my dream. Thanks |
I know... it is pretty great but it is slow! I have no seeds and none for at least 5 yrs or so. You could try one of the other closely related Rubiacaea like Cubanola domingoensis (syn Portlandia domingoensis). There are seeds for that regularly on eBay. The one I'd realllllly love to get my hands on is Osa pulchra; unfortunately it's incredibly rare! It seems that every time I find a plant I absolutely love, it's exceedingly hard to find: Pavetta, Osa, Luculia, Euclinia... someday. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Osa Google images.
there is an ebay listing of luculia every now and then, I saw it recently.. |
I know. I was considering it but it's $55 for a tiny plant if I'm the only bidder... I'll think about it. The Rhododendron Species Botanic Garden in Federal Way, WA, just south of Seattle supposedly has Luculia pinceana for sale to members in 1gal... |
you're lucky then, last year I bought the expensive one on ebay and lost it in a summer heat wave :_-( |

Now that sucks. We just finished a heat wave here ... water water water every day. Still some had issues. Next year I will bring them in. |

Socialist Opera House
From MN150
Winning Nomination
The Socialist Opera House provided not only a venue for community programs and festivals, but was the stage for socialist and workers' strike rallies to influence political, economic, and social conditions on the Iron Range.
HistoryThe stage is set for social change "Remodeling Plans for Old Opera House Will Leave Only Memories of Range's Colorful Cultural Center of Yesterday," declared a headline in the Virginia, Minnesota, Mesabi Daily News on January 30, 1958. The article explained that the city's Socialist Opera House was being renovated as a retail and office building by its owners, the local chapter of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, who had bought it in 1955 for $125,000: "The gilt has worn away and once-gleaming white boxes and balcony sections are discolored. . . . Up in the rafters, above the stage rigging, is lashed a wooden boat which once sailed a water-tank in the stage floor." The article described the building's significance for its community: "Old timers recall the famous names who appeared there, the productions in which live horses were used on the stage, the countless plays produced by local actors and the stormy political meetings held during one of its most controversial eras." Virginia's Socialist Opera House was one of many halls built in communities across the nation where concentrations of Finnish immigrants had settled. Most of the halls served a dual purpose, encapsulated in the unusual pairing of the words "socialist" and "opera" carved over the Virginia hall's entrance. Used for dances, gymnastic performances, and stage plays, they also provided meeting places for like-minded Finns, many of them laborers who embraced socialist ideals. The Socialist Workers' Organization of Virginia built the Virginia hall. Its mission statement outlined its goals: With the help of plays "it was possible to draw audiences unaware of the [socialist] movement to hear agitators' speeches, poems, songs and such material with which it was possible to elevate their knowledge." The most significant moment in the building's long history came in 1916, during a miners' strike that rocked the Iron Range. The Socialist Opera became the headquarters for the local strike committee and for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a national organization that had come to town to direct the strike effort. Fiery, emotionally charged speeches and rallies were staged at the Opera House, with IWW leaders' speeches translated into the workers' many languages. The strike was considered lost by many, and mining companies throughout the Iron Range blacklisted Finnish workers. But the IWW held out at the Opera House and supported a loggers' strike later that year. For many, the building came to symbolize workers' struggles for equality, and for the rest of its tenure as a public building it remained in the hands of workers' organizations, from cooperatives to, eventually, unions.

IE and textbox layout problem
I've got a problem with this site in IE:
(Open it in IE)
As you can see; the page is way too wide , i think it's twice as wide as the textbox.
I guess it's the textbox because when you browse around the site you will see that the wider pages are the one with textboxes.
This does not happen in Firefox :/ , how can i make it normal again?

If you used tables... try turning on the borders on the page that you're having the problem with, or putting borders around the different container elements on the page in an attempt to pinpoint the real problem. As it stands there's no obvious reason why the textbox is acting like that.Originally Posted by DePhille
I'm gonna find a way to download the internet if its the last thing I do...

Thx for your reply.
The page is CSS and HTML4.01 Strict , so no problem with the tables , they are fine.
I'm sure it's the textbox because when i remove it on the page with the problem it acts just fine.

I think it is to do with this on line 48 of your html for your expanding gif.
In particular the "width: 100%" bit. You are giving it a 100% width then adding the right hand side gif after.Code:<td style='background: url(/images/header_expand.gif); width: 100%;'>
Checking a quick version without any graphics attached it looked like it might work fine if you simply remove the width 100% from this line. If not placing everything inside a container that has a width 100% could be another option.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
As we alluded to in the intro, we don't have a lot of information on the SandForce 1500, but should have the full rundown in the next 24 hours. Because of this we needed to dig and see what info we could pull from the two drives we have on hand, serial numbers 5 and 10.
So far we have learned that the RunCore Pro V will be available in 50, 100 and 200GB capacities. For connectivity the Pro V is SATA 3G only. There has been a lot of talk about Marvell and Indilinx's new SATA 6G controllers, but we are starting to hear excuses as to why we were not delivered the product today. As it sits right now, SandForce will have the only next generation solid state controller available for the first few months of 2010.
When it comes to pricing and availability, we can only pass along what we have been told. Look to purchase retail drives in February at the earliest. By March the supply should be plentiful, high speed SSDs for all with the bank to indulge your inner go fast needs.

Featuring an integrated scratch protector, LifeProof frē completely safeguards your iPhone 5's touchscreen. Ultra flat and optically clear, the scratch protector is virtually invisible to the eye and to the touch. No other case available offers this level of protection and functionality. Along with the barely-there scratch protector, all other features work seamlessly with your iPhone 5 — camera, buttons, microphones and speakers. Plus, the sleek silhouette barely adds to iPhone 5's precision lines, and clear back window shows off the Apple logo.
Virtually unseen screen protection. Equipped with LifeProof's proven protection technology, LifeProof frē for iPhone 5 cases feature a built-in touchscreen scratch protector. Crafted from a special membrane material, the scratch protector is so super thin and optically clear, your eyes can barely see it and your finger can barely feel it — but your touchscreen will thank you for it. That way, when you're FaceTiming friends, watching videos or browsing the web, you never miss a beat or a pixel.
LifeProof's legendary four-proof protection is just the beginning. frē for iPhone 5 protects while barely adding to the weight or profile of your smartphone. Yet, it adds a level of protection, functionality and beauty not found in any other all-protective case on the market. That means less case and more iPhone 5. Plus, with the sleek profile, barely-there scratch protection, optical-glass lens, enhanced speaker port and full device function, it's everything you need to take your iPhone 5 out of this world.
It's amazing that a case so sleek, slim, smart and protective can work so seamlessly with your iPhone 5 — but of course, we designed it that way. In fact, it's the most amazingly sleek, slim, smart and protective case ever made for iPhone 5. From the touchscreen and controls to the camera, microphones and speakers, everything works perfectly and brings out the best in your iPhone 5.
Every LifeProof case is designed and built to stringent specifications, then tested in our factory to ensure maximum protection for your delicate device. The first build spec is the impact rating: MIL STD 810F-516. Cases built to this standard can survive the drops, vibrations and bumps your device encounters day to day. The next build spec is the ingress rating: IP-68. This international standard for water and dust ingress protection means your LifeProof case is equipped to keep water, dirt, dust and snow out. And finally, every case we make undergoes a Water Test at our factory before it's shipped. At LifeProof, we use our cases everyday, everywhere for everything, and if we trust 'em, you can too!

New American Standard (NAS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, | 1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach |
2 until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. | 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. |
3 To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. | 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. |
4 Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; | 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. |
5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now ." | 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." |
6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord , is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" | 6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" |
7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; | 7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. |
8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." | 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." |
9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. | 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. |
10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. | 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. |
11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." | 11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." |
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. | 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city. |
13 When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. | 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. |
14 These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. | 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. |
15 At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together ), and said, | 15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) |
16 "Brethren , the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. | 16 and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus-- |
17 "For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry." | 17 he was one of our number and shared in this ministry." |
18 (Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. | 18 (With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. |
19 And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) | 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) |
20 "For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; and, 'LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.' | 20 "For," said Peter, "it is written in the book of Psalms, " 'May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,' and, " 'May another take his place of leadership.' |
21 "Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us- | 21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, |
22 beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us-one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." | 22 beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection." |
23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus ), and Matthias. | 23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. |
24 And they prayed and said, "You, Lord , who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen | 24 Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen |
25 to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." | 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs." |
26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. | 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. |

From the author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Female Brain, here is the eagerly anticipated follow-up. Dr. Brizendine draws upon the latest scientific breakthroughs to show how, through every phase of life, the "male reality" is fundamentally different from the female one. Following the male brain from infancy to adulthood, Dr. Brizendine helps us understand what we see and experience as men's brain-body-behavior. Exploring the latest breakthroughs in male psychology and neurology with her trademark accessibility and candor, she reveals that the male brain:
*is a lean, mean, problem-solving machine. Faced with a personal problem, a man will use his analytical brain structures, not his emotional ones, to find a solution.
*thrives under competition, instinctively plays rough and is obsessed with rank and hierarchy.
*has an area for sexual pursuit that is 2.5 times larger than the female brain, consuming him with sexual fantasies about female body parts.
*experiences such a massive increase in testosterone at puberty that he perceive others' faces to be more aggressive.
The Male Brain is ideal for appropriate courses in anthropology, biology, gender studies, psychology and sociology.

With Washington midterm elections now less than three weeks away, our votes count more than ever. But voting is a liberty some have indirectly chosen to sacrifice. Recently, an 11-member panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a 144-year-old law that prohibits incarcerated felons from voting. The Washington inmates who filed the suit were unable to prove any violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Attorney General Rob McKenna agrees: "This ruling affirms the rights of states to withhold the right to vote from those who've committed the most serious crimes against society."
For more information on this decision, check out a recent editorial in The Seattle Times or go to the AGO news release.

Thought Crimes
Last month, a minor disagreement was made public when Mitch Altman announced a boycott of MakerFaire. His reason was DARPA.
MakerFaire, the organization, applied for and was granted a DARPA MENTOR grant, with the express purpose of promoting the maker culture in schools across the country. DARPA proposed the grant to address concern that Americans are losing the skill to build and repair things themselves. The money trail indicates why some people have a problem with this:
Taxpayers -> Treasury -> Department of Defense -> DARPA -> MakerFaire -> Schools
The argument sounded by some is that "DoD money has no place in our schools." I have only one reply to that: you're wrong.
The typical money trail for engineering programs in school, outside of the MENTOR program is:
Taxpayers -> Bake Sales -> Schools
If I had to choose one, I'd rather have DoD funding, overseen by MakerFaire, than the practically zero funding schools currently receive for programs like this. This is a perfect example of cutting off ones nose to spite ones face. Some very loud people hate the DoD, and have decided that schools have to suffer for the sake of their ego.
This may sound like an extreme outcome over the opinions of a few people, but I believe it has the potential to be devastatingly harmful to the maker community, and to the schools which would benefit from the grant money. Let me explain why.
I grew up in an oppressive, thought-controlling, cult.
I had never been allowed to listen to Michael Jackson, Prince (ironic as it seems now), Black Sabbath, or Marilyn Manson. I wasn't allowed to participate in school sports or dances, and I had to leave the room when someone was having a birthday.
I had a large set of encyclopedias and many books on science and engineering as a child. I was fascinated with the natural world, and my parents even bought me a full set of Wildlife Fact Files.
At some point I showed them to my parents and they saw references to evolution. The next day I came home from school to find my parents had thrown them all away. Once, my father decided to find all of our 'inappropriate' movies, douse them in gasoline, and burn them in a showy display, to ensure nobody could ever be corrupted by their evil.
Our church didn't ban Michael Jackson music, movies, or Wildlife Fact Files. They had no official position on ET or school dances or baseball. The church took great care in avoiding any official position on many cultural issues, and instead, let their members "use their conscience." Meanwhile, my parents were burning movies and throwing away encyclopedias. They claimed "their conscience" said these things were evil. In reality, it was peer pressure.
Peers > Authority
The church didn't tell my parents that movies were bad, and I very rarely heard any of my friends say movies were bad. The common phrasing was "we don't think it's appropriate for our family." With those words, suddenly it wasn't appropriate for ours. My parents didn't let their conscience guide them, they let someone else's shame them. In the end, the result was the same. I still haven't seen ET or 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.'
Peer pressure can be used for thought control at a massive scale. Soon after someone made the observation that ET had 'similarities to Christ', and 'could detract from our worship,' it was practically a verboten piece of popular culture across the entire community of the church. I can't know all the things I missed out on for the sake of someone's poor decision, amplified through shame and peer pressure.
Silver Bullets
When a peer, someone you respect or want to befriend, publicly states an opinion, we're naturally drawn to share that opinion. This can be used for good, but can also be used carelessly.
When someone says they "don't want their daughter going to a school that's funded by the military," they have the tragic potential of convincing their peers of their closed-minded attitude, and denying the most important part of that sentence: "a school that's funded." Education is a silver bullet, it's the most important weapon we have against any foe. If you risk taking away education, if you slap away a helping hand when our schools need it most, you're hurting everyone.
There's always the looming threat of abuse and coercion with programs like this, the classic example of "the first taste is free, but what are you going to give us next time?" I understand that concern, but the foremost threat is that our schools are woefully underfunded, we're raising generations of consumers instead of engineers, and we're throwing away help because of the someone else's poorly developed conscience.

What do you mean "line between Systems and Developers?"
Someone asked, on /r/sysadmin, if they were going to need to learn a programming language in order to stay relevant as a SysAdmin. They perceived a 'line between systems and developers' that was disappearing. They lamented that most Systems Administrator jobs required some level of Java/C#/PHP. I was confused.
A majority of the responses took the attitude of 'us' vs 'them' ('SysAdmins' vs 'Developers'). One of my favorite lines was 'Devs break shit while the sysadmins fix shit.' I began to see the confusion wasn't actually on my side. I don't think most SysAdmins actually know what they get paid to do.
At a very basic level, SysAdmins are just professional computer operators. At their best, though, they're gardeners.
SysAdmins, like gardeners, want to provide a stable, beautiful, tranquil environment that fulfills the needs of their users. They organize things based on how they interact with their neighbors. They see the whole design, before any of it's been laid out.
If SysAdmins are gardeners, building the garden, developers are the botanists researching the plants, the stone masons carving the planters, the mechanical engineers building the irrigation system, the carpenters building the terraces... Developers build everything /in/ the garden.
This isn't as large a distinction as many of my colleagues appear to believe. To illustrate, let's reach back into our collective childhoods with a story about Goofus and Gallant.
Goofus is a gardener, and has been for a long time. He loves to dig in the dirt, and he's really good at putting plants in the holes he makes. Unfortunately, Goofus shares this 'us' vs 'them' mentality. He considered himself to be 'just the gardner,' believing that his job ended at digging in the dirt, and his garden suffered.
Goofus never knew where his water was coming from, that wasn't his job. He wasn't an irrigation engineer, he was just a gardener. Meanwhile, the irrigation team never know how much water to provide for the plants. Some plants flooded, some dried out, a few were okay.
He didn't know that the stone masons were carving 9ft planters for a 6ft plot, because he never bothered to ask, and the stone masons had no reason to volunteer that information. To the masons, every garden should be able to hold a 9ft planter.
Goofus ordered terraces, but the carpenters shipped Adirondack chairs. Goofus didn't know the difference.
But, Goofus did his best with what he was given. Over-sized planters were laid diagonally in plots just so they would fit. Dozens of chairs were stacked together as makeshift terraces.
Goofus compensated for poorly-planned irrigation with a DIY water routing system he was very proud of. In fact, he began to feel a little bit like an irrigation engineer himself. It required constant maintenance, and didn't work during the dry season.
From his point of view, he built the best thing he could with what he was given.
The garden died of dysentery. A funeral was held wherein every mourner stubbed their toes on mislaid planters.
Gallant worked on a garden across town. He decided to learn a little bit about irrigation engineering, since he was going to have to manage it later anyway. He learned what sorts of systems irrigation engineers typically build, and how to lay his plants accordingly so they all got just the right amount of resources.
Gallant stayed up late a few nights learning about masonry, and found that he had to /ask/ for planters that would fit his plots. Instead of doing that, however, he decided to modify his layout to support 9ft planters, since that was easiest for the masons, and wouldn't require any special requests if they needed replacement later.
Gallant asked his botanist to teach him how to place compatible plants such that they would support each other instead of competing for resources.
Gallant's garden was awesome. Botanists, irrigation engineers, stone masons, and dozens more came from miles around to work in this garden. Despite this incredible success, they eventually all drowned due to a poorly-caulked wagon. Their bodies were never recovered.
Backing out of analogy-land, I'll just say this: if you're a SysAdmin who doesn't understand software, you don't understand systems either, and you're just a glorified computer operator.
If you don't understand what your company's software does, or how it works, or how to find a bug in it, or how to fix that bug yourself, you don't know enough to build a really successful system.
That's not saying that to be a SysAdmin you need to learn Java to the level of your software engineers, but if you're working in a Java environment, you should be able to at least read the language and understand what it's doing. The same thing applies to Ruby, C#, PHP (which is brain-dead easy, by the way), and anything else your company relies on to function.
Without at least a basic understanding of software development, a SysAdmin can't build really successful monitoring, automation, or management systems for their own environment. I would never hire a SysAdmin who couldn't write a nagios plugin or a chef config. I would fall over myself to hire a SysAdmin who was solid on systems and could also write a one-button deployment framework.
There's never been a 'line' between Systems and Dev, only between Goofus and Gallant. It's up to you to pick a side on that one.

Heph's Magical Adjustable (burningman) Goggles of DOOM.
Burning Man goggles are a bitch, you need a dark pair for the dust storms and the sun in the day and a clear pair for the dust storms that happen at night. Using camera lens circular polarizers I was able to make an adjustable-tint pair of goggles I can wear day or night.
I started with some standard army-surplus-store goggles, removed the lenses, measured the inner diameter with a pair of digital calipers, and got on amazon. The smallest ID of the goggles was 44mm. I found an incredible deal on some 46mm CPLs on amazon, and since the goggles are a soft plastic, they accepted the slight size-mismatch fine.
I removed the existing lenses, put one polarizer in place over each eye, used electrical tape to hold them in place, and to mask the JB-Weld from going anywhere I didn't want it. I mixed the JB-Weld and put it in a hobby syringe to squirt it into the tiny gaps between the filter and the goggles frame. This resulted in a pretty smooth joint that's very solid.
I cut down the prescription lenses from an old pair of glasses and hot-glued them in place inside the goggles, a trick I've done for several previous sets since I don't wear contact-lenses.
Then I just added the other polarizers to the top, and now, just by rotating the outer polarizer in relation to the inner, I have adjustable-tint burningman goggles of doom.

Google+, I hardly knew (anybody on) you...
If you haven't been following the #nymwars kerfuffle over Google+, you might not realize how useless the service is getting. Unlike every other social network, which allows users to decide what name they'd like to be called, Google+ requires you to use your legal name. This is fine for a lot of people, just not me.
Most people know me as Hephaestus, or Heph. I use my birth name for business, but prefer to use my pseudonym for my public profiles. As a public persona, most people know me as "Oh, the 5MoF guy, Heph", or "You mean the dildo guy, Hephaestus?" Google+ was an exception. I used my legal name, and never had any problems (except for friends not being able to figure out who I was until I posted more identifiable profile pictures... most people, friends included, have no idea that my legal name maps to me).
The problem was with my friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and other people I would normally interact with on a social networking site. Google+ started suspending their accounts, and suddenly it became useless. Fox Circe, Sai, Skud, Doctor Popular, Aestetix, to name a few, all had their accounts suspended from G+ due to their names. These aren't people trying to hide their identity, these names are their identities. This isn't a case of someone making spam accounts, or troll accounts, or trying to be anonymous. These are their names. This is how they do business. They have as much accountability tied to their pseudonyms as any of us have to our birth names.
I can't imagine ever calling my good friend Aestetix by his birth name, it doesn't feel right, it's not who he is. Several of my very closest friends have never told me their birth names, and others I just use their pseudonym because any other name is too hard to pronounce. This is the new social dynamic. We're hackers, we chose our names and imbued them with more power than any 'John Doe' our parents could have stuck us with.
Most of my friends have gotten the boot for the audacity of trying to be identifiable. Now my G+ feed consists of strangers. Maybe they're people I know, but if I don't know them by their birth name, I don't really know who they are. I don't know if this is a close friend or a complete stranger. Forcing birth names has created more anonymity than allowing people to use their pseudonyms ever could.

Restricting apache paths, per user, with mod_rewrite
This took long enough to track down that it warranted documenting for the rest of the internet. Many thanks to maze.io for being the only other place on the internet describing this behavior.
Sometimes you want to restrict a URI by user, such that a logged in user can only view the contents of their own directory. If you place the following .htaccess in the parent directory of the <username> directory, you can lock <username>s to their own directories (require valid-user, and then):
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^(.+) RewriteCond %1:$1 !^([^:]+):\1$ RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/ - [F,L]
This works by capturing the requested directory (line 4) and appending it to the RewriteCond on line 3 as $1. REMOTE_USER is prepended to the test string of line 3 so it can be pulled back out in the cond pattern on line 3 and compared to the requested directory.
So if REMOTE_USER = heph
, and the requested file is /ted/secretfile.txt
, here is the process (out of order, for clarity. A common statement in reference to mod_rewrite):
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^(.+) # Sets %1 = heph ... RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/ - [F,L] # Sets $1 = ted ... RewriteCond %1:$1 !^([^:]+):\1$ # Means RewriteCond heph:ted !heph:heph$
This RewriteCond matches (negative match, notice the !), so follow through with the RewriteRule, return Forbidden, and block the unauthorized Heph from accessing Ted's directory.

Arduino Controlled LED Staff
I imagine it must have been a Thursday, somewhere around 9:45 and Esplanade, when my good friend Metaphorge noticed among the throngs of deviants and devil worshipers, a pixie of a girl spinning the k8 led staff. In an alkali haze I promised him one for his birthday, and promptly forgot. Facebook reminded me with a whopping 4 days to spare, and I realized that these things couldn't be that hard to build (certainly not $2-300 hard to build).
I got on the fantastic Jameco Website to order a 6ft RGB LED strip ($40) and some PN2222 transistors ($5) to sink each channel of the strip (1a / rgb = ~333ma per color, right? Two fried transistors and an arduino uno that lost its tx/rx channels later...), and threw it in a 1.5" polycarb tube ($30) from Tap Plastics. I assembled it with a USnooBie ($20) acquired at midnight from David Rorex's personal stash at Ace Monster Toys. Here's the resulting ~$100 prototype Arduino Controlled LED Staff during a recent Make: Live broadcast:
Turns out prototypes are awesome. It forced me to solve problems I hadn't even thought about, like power management and how to actually get everything into the tube. For the first problem, I'm working on a 5->12v boosting power supply based on the MAX1771 so I can drive a full 12v@1a strip from four rechargeable AA batteries, rather than the 8 Alkalines I have in there now.
The second problem, fitting the LEDs and electronics in the tube, is even more complicated now that I'm moving from 1.5" polycarb (1.25" inner diameter, plenty for 2 AA batteries side by side, USnooBies, and perfboard power supplies) to a 1" polycarb tube with only 0.75" inner diameter, barely larger than a single AA battery. This makes battery minimization even more important, as I'm going to have to come up with some solution to light up the 120mm or so on each end of the staff that's filled with batteries. I'm considering rechargable AAAs, but that's going to mean less than half the spin time considering the massive (~3a) draw with the boosting power supply.
Adding to that the requirement of a microusb port, better control switches, and waterproofing (or at least rain/dewproofing), and it's starting to feel like a real product rather than just a quick hack.
The most common question I get, considering I'm surrounded by hackers is whether each LED is addressable. The answer's "nope, but I'm working on it." I'm probably going to buy a bunch of WS2801 LED drivers from Sparkfun, but I'm looking for alternatives.

Every couple of weeks I see blog posts (yes, like this one) where some asshat tries to promote themselves by spouting off on their knowledge of linux commands. They usually end up on the front page of reddit with titles like "Stupid Linux Tricks," "15 Advanced Shell Commands Every Sysadmin Should Know," and my new favorite "Top 30 UNIX command Interview Questions asked in Investment Banks".
Besides being obvious attempts at padding resumes (and oh god, do I hate padded resumes), they rarely show off anything new, and never go into detail about why the commands they're listing do what they claim. Often, they don't even fact-check themselves and end up posting commands which plainly don't work:
6. There is a file Unix_Test.txt which contains words Unix, how will you replace all Unix to UNIX? You can answer this Unix Command Interview question by using SED command in UNIX for example you can execute sed s\Unix\UNIX\g fileName.
Let's test that theory:
[hephaestus@fhtagn ~]$ cat lala
unix unix UNIX Unix
unix Unix
[hephaestus@fhtagn ~]$ sed s\Unix\UNIX\g lala
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: unterminated `s' command
The command doesn't work, and there are four major reasons for it.
1. Escaping
Firstly, in bash (it's usually safe to assume a bash audience when pandering to sysadmins), backslashes are the escape character. That means the line s\Unix\UNIX\g is being interpreted by bash as sUnixUNIXg (escape character means 'literally whatever follows', see the Bash Beginners Guide for more information). In sed, the first character following a command (the 's' part) is used as the delimiter for the command, so the command sUnixUNIXg is essentially the equivalent of s/nix/NIXg, except using 'U' as the delimiter. We get our unterminated 's' command error because we need a final delimiter to let sed know the replacement command is finished: sUnixUNIXUg will parse correctly, because we added a finalizing delimiter, but it only replaces 'nix' with 'NIX' because we've used 'U' as the delimiter. Oops.
2. Quoting
Let's look at the command if we fix the escaping problem (by using forward slashes, which aren't interpreted by the shell) but forget to quote the command:
[hephaestus@fhtagn ~]$ sed s/Unix/UNIX/ig lala
[hephaestus@fhtagn ~]$
It worked! But what if we only want to uppercase every time we see two "unix"es in a row?
[hephaestus@fhtagn ~]$ sed s/unix unix/UNIX UNIX/g lala
sed: -e expression #1, char 6: unterminated `s' command
[hephaestus@fhtagn ~]$
Same error as before, but with a different cause. Most programs aren't very intelligent about parsing their own command lines. Usually they take arguments in from their parent process (in this case, bash) as space-separated variables. That means for the command: "sed s/unix unix/UNIX UNIX/g lala", the shell passes the following variables:
$0 = 'sed'
$1 = 's/unix'
$2 = 'unix/UNIX'
$3 = 'UNIX/g'
$4 = 'lala'
Since 's/unix' in of itself isn't a valid sed command, we get an error. This would be fixed by quoting the regular expression so that it's all passed by the shell as a single argument: "sed 's/unix unix/UNIX UNIX/g' lala", or escaping the spaces (remember the backslash, literal interpretation): "sed s/unix\ unix/UNIX\ UNIX/g lala" both result in:
$0 = 'sed'
$1 = 's/unix unix/UNIX UNIX/g'
$2 = 'lala'
3. Wrong Goddamn Delimiter
Never use backslash unless you mean it. The standard non-string, non-escaped, delimiter character for sed or perl or anything else that uses regular expressions is the forward slash ('/'). To teach people otherwise is to invite failure down the road. As I pointed out, you can get around the problems introduced by using the backslash by single-quoting the argument, or understanding how escaping is interpreted from the shell, but you wouldn't have to if you just learn to use forward slashes from the start.
4. Okay, you printed to STDOUT. Now what?
The question was replacing the contents of a file. Even if you fix the escaping, quoting, and delimiter problem, you're still not replacing anything inside the file, just printing the replacement to STDOUT. If you want a sed command to operate on a file in-place, use the '-i' flag: "sed -i 's/Unix/UNIX/g' lala". If you want to write the edited file to a new file, use a shell redirect: "sed 's/Unix/UNIX/g' lala > newfile".
As I said before, I hate padded resumes. If I asked this interview question and you answered "sed backslash Unix backslash UNIX backslash g filename", you wouldn't get a job unless you at least mentioned "in quotes" somewhere in there. And then I'd ask you what kind of quotes. And then I'd ask why you didn't actually edit the file.

We played with the Invader last night, and two rules questions came up:
1. When you draw the Invader destiny card, does that count as a separate encounter, or an event that happens in the middle of the regular encounter? Here's the situation we ran into:
a. I start my turn with two cards. I can't refresh my hand (obviously) because I have encounter cards.
b. I draw the Invader destiny card.
c. Invader attacks me, and plays a Negotiate.
d. Invader goes to the Warp, and takes my two cards as compensation.
e. I now continue my turn, but I have no encounter cards available.
According to a strict reading of the rules, I can't draw a new hand, because it's not the start of my turn. But I also can't continue, because when the offense has no more encounter cards available, his turn ends immediately. It seems like I should be able to draw a new hand, because it seems against the spirit of the Invader power that it would replace my turn, instead of just interrupting it.
2. Does the Invader take a ship from the warp after the Invader destiny card is drawn?

Hi, we moved into a house which had an incomplete cedar hedge planted. The cedars are planted about 3 feet apart leaving large gaps between (about 12-16") and I want to add some more privacy. Can I plant more cedars in between or should I plant more offset (ie. in between but behind) the current cedars? Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Its not advisable to plant more trees in between. Trees require a large amount of water and their roots would have by now taken up the space between the trees. So in fact the previous owner did something right for those plants. you will eventually have very tall and large trees there. A huge mistake I've seen is when trees are planted closer than 3 feet between. It will overcrowd and eventually one dies. It then becomes harder to remove and to replace. These trees are still relatively young. I would say it's been in the ground for 2 or 3 years. It will eventually fill in. But I hear you. You feel exposed. There's not fence to create that privacy. An alternative is to add a second row of trees but placing them offset. This way the new row of trees would have the space to grow roots in. It may be the same kinds of trees or you can use other evergreens like hollies or even different types of shrubs. Personally I like variety (see mosaic hedging) Of course, this solution would mean a bit more of your yard space is taken up but it's the only reasonable solution that I can see. |
- Posted by swontgirl_z5a 5a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 18, 13 at 19:06
I agree. I would plant another row but offset them. I think the same kind would be good but that is just my personal taste. |
