First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was established in March of 1902.
In that year, Elder J.N. Wilson, a retired minister called the scattered Disciples of Dekalb Co. to a hall on East 7th Street, just above the old Post Office. At this meeting an organization was formed that eventually became the Church of Christ, with Wilson serving as preacher for 3 years.
By 1906, this organization began to grow, with revivals being held that attracted many converts. On September 2, 1906, a new church building was dedicated on a property located at 13th and Jackson Streets in Auburn. This building was made possible in part by generous donations from charter members and with the help of the Church Building Fund, what is now called the Board of Church Extensions for the Christian Church (DoC).
The Church continued to worship at this site until 1958, when a congregational vote confirmed the church's desire to purchase a site where a new church building would be constructed. Before the building project could proceed, the church decided to change its name and voted in January of 1960 to become the First Christian Church of Auburn. Building commenced shortly thereafter and by March 5, 1961, the congregation was celebrating its first Lord's Day Worship in the present site.

NYC remembers victims of US wars
"This is a memorial set up Sunday afternoon after the official memorial because we are looking at over million people, depending on how you count them, who are unnamed, unknown, unmemorialized, unacknowledged, forgotten about on the state official memorial," Debrah Sweet, the director of World Can't Wait, told Press TV.
Led by artists, activists and organizations across the country the memorial is carried out in protest against US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The protesters also voiced support for unity and solidarity against racism and anti-Muslim bigotry.
"As we remember almost 3,000 who died, we must [also] remember the tens and hundreds of thousands died because of US policy since that day (9/11). Hundreds of thousands and possibly over a million in Iraq alone, thousands died in Afghanistan, over 6,000 American troops died because of the fade and false policy," said Joe Lambado from United National Anti War Coalition.
James Yee, the former US Army Muslim Chaplin at Guantanamo made a passionate call on Americans to speak out against the inhumane treatment of prisoners at the notorious US prison.
"Torture, this is what has gone on in Guantanamo bay and is going on when I served there, and I stand here to speak out against this unjust treatment and I urge everyone else to speak out against this unjust treatment," Yee told protesters.
This originally appeared on Press TV on September 12, 2011.

According to a report from Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona, infielder John McDonald has re-signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks for $3 million over the next two years. The defensive specialist was traded by the Toronto Blue Jays along with second baseman Aaron Hill to Arizona in August for Type A free agent Kelly Johnson. Not unexpectedly, manager Kirk Gibson became a fan of McDonald during his two months in the desert.
The deal was something of a surprise to Blue Jays fans, who despite his limited play and weak batting numbers, treated McDonald as though he was a superstar. If any solace was taken in losing the fan favourite, it was the way in which his eventual return to the club in 2012 was presented as a foregone conclusion by management in the press conference announcing the deal.
There is something special about John McDonald. Of this, there is no doubt in my mind. I abhor the idea of the scrappy, specialized veteran who receives more praise for intangible things like effort and attitude than an ability to get on base or hit for power. But even this stone cold heart of mine was melted at the sight of McDonald making the impossible seem regular with his glove, proving his sense for the game on the basepaths and unfortunately, far too often, running out his weakly hit ground balls as fast as his legs could muster.
While his career in Toronto lasted for parts of seven seasons, his play 2007 stands out in particular. That season I saw more live baseball than in any year of my life. It was the second year in a row in which McDonald won the shortstop's job over the opening day starter with his play in the field. And when the Toronto Blue Jays fell further and further back of the lead in the AL East, the promise of a spectacular play in the field, which seemed to happen every game, was the only thing bringing me back to the ball park. In many ways, McDonald saved a season of baseball for this city.
The Prime Minister of Defence, as he is affectionately called in Toronto, will provide a level of insurance for Arizona after regular shortstop Stephen Drew missed a large chunk of 2011 on the Disabled List, where he finished the season after surgery on his right ankle in July. McDonald also provides the Diamondbacks with a late inning defensive replacement at third or second base if necessary.

Al Qaeda is getting more sophisticated each day, planning terror attacks with encrypted Internet message boards and special software to disguise their activities on chat rooms.
U.S. officials say that's where they found the recent plot that closed down 19 U.S. diplomatic posts across the Muslim world.
Still, it's unlikely that top al Qaeda leaders like Ayman al-Zawahri have gone digital, or even use phones.
Al Qaeda leaders are still using low tech methods to get their messages to tech-savvy foot soldiers.
That means all the National Security Agency 's digital surveillance isn't likely to track them down.

This is our first year with our Lopi Endevor woodstove. Hubby and I are both new at this. We have a thermometer on the flat stove top, about 2 inches from the front edge, and another thermometer on the back of the stove top next to where the chimney comes out of the stove. What is the right temp for a good burn? I've read a chimney thermometer is supposed to be between 250-400 to prevent creosote, but the front thermometer gets to about 600F and the back one only hits 250F. Which should we be going by? I'm afraid to overfire and damage something... and I'm afraid to underfire and get creosote. Ugh.

Follow-Up Postings:
Your user's manual should show exactly where to put the thermometer and exactly what the reading should be. We have a Jotul and the user's manual shows a specific spot on the top of the stove and specifies a range higher than the usual. I think the 250-400 degree range is for when you have the thermometer on the stovepipe, not the stove itself. I would check the manual that came with your stove or call Lopi customer service and ask, since every stove is a little bit different. Good luck! |
We just recently installed a Lopi Revere. That's the insert version of the Endeavor. I have a thermometer on my cooktop that's been near the back edge of the box (not sure if it substantially changes temps compared to front edge - which is where the manual says to place it - so I'll be trying that going forward). The manual for my Revere says anything over 800 degrees is considered overfiring. My temp varies, but when it's going really good, it gets up to 600-700 pretty quick. I don't like it going up to 700 so if it gets there I dial back on the air. Generally I find a get a really good burn, including great secondary combustion when the temp is above 450. Right now it's 385 outside, my main living floor is around 80 (wife was cranking it while I was at work), upstairs is around 74, and the fire is slowing down, temp on stovetop is around 450. Not much secondary combustion as my wood is pretty spent. I can't comment on the creosote issue. My dealer told me so long as my glass wasn't turning black during normal use, I shouldn't be worried about a poor burn. When I turn the air down at night so air is about 1" out (I've been getting an 8 hour burn overnight with lots of hot coals first thing in the morning). I'm finindg loading splits straight in is getting me a much better burn time than cross ways and packing splits in the back). If you are interested in hearing more on that let me know. |
Just a quick update. Just moved some unburnt wood around in my stove but didn't add anymore due to a ton of hot coals. My secondary burn is going crazy and the temp at front edge of stove (above door) is about 400-425. Attached is a link to pic of secondary burn. It's that wispy fire that "floats" through the air. One other thing, which didn't sound right when my dealer told me, but has proved correct. The air control does not control how much air enters the stove, but where the air goes. On the Lopi, with air control all the way out (full open), most of the air is being directed right into the firebox down near the coals. This leads to a very hot burn. To get good secondary combustion/burn, once your firebox gets hot (for me usually about 500) you need to push the air control in, which will redirect the air away from the fire and through the burn tubes. More air coming through the burn tubes will lead to better secondary burn, assuming your stove is hot enough. You want secondary burn, using a low air level (air pushed in to some degree) because then you are no longer just burning wood, you are also burning gasses. This will lead to more heat, longer burns on the same amount of wood, and a cleaner burn. I can tell when I'm burning efficiently not only be seeing secondary burn, but also because there is little or no visible smoke coming out of my chimney. Lots of smoke means you are not burning hot enough. |

lkplatow - I checked the users manual and there's no diagram that shows where to put the thermometer. It says to put it "above the door" and anything over 800F is overfire. I'm still a little confused if they mean 'above the door' as in - lying on the cooktop? or magnetically attached to the front? Right now our thermometer is on the cooktop near the front edge - like where you'd set a kettle or steamer. I hope that's right. Other than that, it says "if any part of the stove glows, you're overfiring". Um... I'd rather not get to that point, thanksverymuch! Everything I can find for Lopi says 'contact the dealer', like there's no direct customer service. Guess I'm winging it. Thanks for the reply! dunadan - I didn't know that about the air control/burn tubes. I thought it was intake control, instead of directional. We usually burn with the air control halfway in, and push it all the way in at night. So far, haven't had a single fire that's lasted until morning. Not sure if it's our wood (cured 3 yrs outside) or how we're loading it. I don't like to stuff the firebox full of fresh wood when there's hot coals... afraid of getting it going too hot. Maybe I should quit worrying? Yeah, please share if you know the secret. The glass does get dirty sometimes, but clears during a hotter burn. From what I've seen out the chimney, we only get visable smoke when we start from a cold stove. I wish we could get the same house temps you're getting. Our house is "L" shaped, and it's proving difficult to circulate the heat. The stove room (North end of the "L") can get up to 85F (250 sq.foot room, 9' ceiling), while the other end of the "L" holds at about 65F... with 2 fans going to push the hot air out of the stoveroom. The second floor usually holds at about 65F too. |
Have you called the dealer you bought the stove from? They should be able to tell you where to put the thermometer. Good luck! |
- Posted by sagewizard (My Page) on Thu, Oct 26, 06 at 21:57
Yes, I talked to the dealer. They said the same as the manual said. Didn't elaborate. Will have to call them and get them to be more specific. Thanks. |
Sagewizard, I've had an Endevor for 7 years now. NICE STOVE. As for temp, I never place one on the upper step top, as that is way cooler and not a good indicator of how hot the actual stove is. I start to get good secondary burn at about 450-500 at a thermostat placed about in the middle of the lower cooktop area. I've had it as hot as 875, but don't like to go there as the air tubes in the fire area are glowing red pretty good at that point. I normally like to burn between 500 and 650 at the stove top, as the secondary burn seems like the most efficient way to operate the stove. When it cools to 400 I always add wood if I'm around. I also have a magnetic thermometer right on the stove pipe, up about 1.5 or 2 feet. It runs about 1/2 the temp of the stove top one. The scale on it has 475 as the overfire point, and I get there at about 850 stove top, so again I keep it under that point. (Use a wire to attach this one as magnets loose there power when hot and hate to drop a 400deg thermostat on the surrounding floor...) Also, I have the flame that goes up and around by the door. I think that is a good thing, as Lopi place an air intake tube right there to help combust any unburned gasses. Also I have have my stove lit at Thanksgiving and kept it running right through to Christmas one year, with only 1 match used at Thanksgiving. SO obviously I get all night burns. The secret could be in the wood. I use maple with a little birch for firing back up in the morning. Here is what I do: I hope this helps. Long time Endevor user. |
I have a Lopi liberity. To get a good over night burn I stuff that sucker full. I fill it as tight as i can. Then i open the air all the way. I let it burn for 10 to 20 mins. then i slow the air down once its starts to get around 500 or so. It will still get hotter then I shut the air down more. Once I get a even burn then I slow it down more. I watch my temp for a 30 mins or so after that I feel fine to leave it. I try to burn around 550 to 600 for me it works great. I burn all oak also. To move the heat try pushing the cool air from your rooms instead of trying to move the hot air. |
I just moved into a house with a Lopi Answer for primary heat, and all of this is very helpful, thank you! I do have a question: we accidentally overfired (the top of the stove--not the outer "envelope" but the inner layer) glowed red-hot. Is there anything we should check for safety or integrity once it cools off? |

"Free jazz is one thing," says Joe Lovano, "but I like to say I play jazz free."
The Grammy-award-winning saxophonist, who has been playing professionally for four decades, improvises like he's been liberated. He says it's about developing a way of playing where you're not harnessed by playing what you practice and playing patterns and repeating yourself.
"To be able to explore music with all kinds of people also gives you that trust and freedom in your playing because you're living in the music," Lovano explains. "It's playing in a state of mind of openness and listening and trust that gives you those foundations. It's also being able to execute your ideas on your instrument without letting your instrument hold you back.

Region: Central Denver
"To develop your technique as a musician," he goes on, "is to be able to execute things in all keys and hear some things that are happening, to hear the rhythm of what's going on around you — not just what you're trying to play, but to listen to the way the drums and the rhythm is going on around you."
With drummers Otis Brown III and Francisco Mela in his Us Five quintet, rhythm is a big part of Lovano's music, especially on the brand-new Blue Note release Cross Culture. Having two drummers grew out of having the chance to play with master drummers over the last forty years, guys like Ed Blackwell, Billy Higgins, Mel Lewis, Elvin Jones, Idris Muhammad and Bill Stewart.
"This double-drummer configuration kind of evolved from not only my passion about it, but with my creative conception about the approach to creating music together as an ensemble," Lovano reveals. "And to have a quintet with two drummers, all of a sudden you not only have the quintet, but four quartets, ten trios, nine duos — you have many combinations of things that can happen in this group. That spontaneous orchestration is what jazz is talking about — trying to create and play music together as an ensemble."
The current lineup of Joe Lovano Us Five — which is rounded out by pianist James Weidman and bassist Esperanza Spalding — first performed at the Village Vanguard in 2007, and the act's first recording, Folk Art, was released in 2009 on Blue Note. Two years later, the group followed up with Bird Songs, in which they focused on the compositions of Charlie Parker but arranged them in a special way for the ensemble, with forward-thinking arrangements.
"Everyone has their own personal story," Lovano points out. "You can't tell someone else's story in music. So the idea of Bird Songs was to take some of Charlie Parker's incredible structures, harmonies and melodies and make them our own."
Cross Culture, says Lovano, is an extension of both of those recordings, in a way, as well as the development of how the musicians are playing together. "We're having a lot of fun, and we're exploring elements within the world of music," he notes. "On Cross Culture, there's a real tribal feeling within the very sophisticated harmonic and melodic development in modern jazz."
Another theme of Cross Culture is exploring the concept of how music is a universal language. During his international travels over the past forty years, Lovano says he's collected instruments from all over the world. "I really live on them and vibrate on them," he says. "All kinds of flutes and different woodwind instruments and percussion instruments like gongs and sounds that reach back into a timeless place within the history of music. Some of the instruments I have pre-date the United States. You know, gongs — instruments from China, Asia and Africa and the Middle East — and when you really get into some of those sounds and spirits, your music goes other places."
On Cross Culture, Lovano plays various percussion instruments and a number of different horns in addition to his staple tenor and soprano saxophones. Take the aulochrome, for example, made by Belgian Francois Louis, which Lovano plays on "Modern Man." Lovano says it's the first woodwind instrument that you can actually harmonize on when you play. Essentially, it's two soprano saxophones mechanically fused together, with one fingerboard going down the center, and each key has two parts to it.
"When you play both parts, you get the unison sound," he says. "When you release the bottom part, it opens tone holes on one instrument, on the left instrument. So as you're playing your lines on the right body and you're releasing parts of the key on the left body of the horn, you're opening up holes that are harmonizing with what you're playing."
The concept evidently dates back to early Greek mythology, where there are pictures and drawings of the aulos, an instrument that had two bells and two sides to it. Lovano says one side would have a drone pitch and the other side could be fingered to play pitches against that drone. While Rahsaan Roland Kirk was playing multiple horns at once decades ago and could harmonize, Lovano says he couldn't follow his line like he could on the aulochrome. "Rahsaan," Lovano says, "would have embraced this horn, like, immediately."

Quai Branly Museum
Paris, 75007, France
Just 100 meters from the Eiffel Tower, the Quai Branly Museum draws crowds to its treasure trove of ethnic art. Opened in 2006, the Jean Nouvel-designed complex contains four buildings, with the main one sitting on stilts and adorned with a protruding jumble of 30 colorful cubes. Abundant plant life thrives not only on-site, but on the building itself. Bamboo replaces louvered windows and vegetation fully covers exterior walls with 15,000 plants from 150 different species. A large Native American totem pole anchors the vast interior atrium, which gives way to a myriad of 5,450 displayed pieces of primitive art from Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas.
Insider Tip:
There are a few metro stations within close proximity to the Quai Branly Museum: the Alma-Marceau and Ponte de l'Alma.

New Kansas secretary of state critical of Minnesota's Mark Ritchie
As Minnesota's Secretary of State Mark Ritchie is sworn in for the second time, Stateline.org reports on the changing role of the job and highlights the new conservative secretary of state of Kansas ... who specifically criticizes Ritchie, calls the 2008 Al Franken-Norm Coleman recount a "pseudo-election" and blames the Minnesota election official for "manipulating the process to pacify a leftist mob."
Kris Kobach, who the article credits as the "intellectual architect" of Arizona's tough immigration law, is worth learning about because some of his initiatives, such as voter photo ID, are sure to find their way into this legislative session's Minnesota GOP agenda.
Comments (9)
I ask, as so many others have: What's the Matter with Kansas?
Is there something in the water there? Are their brains being scrambled by tornadoes?
Voter photo ID can hardly be termed the initiative of Kris Kobach. It's a pretty standard plank of conservatives that has been around for quite some time. Calling that, or any other issue, "his initiatives" is a bit misleading, unless the intent is to lump them all in with someone wishing to be painted as extreme or controversial.
I'm glad that "intellectual" was in "quotes".
And what new issues have ANY Republicans raised? There's only so many ways to say NO.
Ah, yes, the REAL question, here, is whether Mr. Kobach is a symptom or a causative factor (or both) in the psychologically delusional state we have all come to know as "Kansas."
(As in the water cooler comment about a colleague who's gone of the deep end as far as his/her touch with reality -- "When did THEY go to Kansas?"
I can't help but wonder if the entire state might not benefit from a new visit to OZ in order to re-establish and cement their now-very-tentative and warped sense of reality.
Among the states you want to be criticized from: Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma and now Kansas.
Apparently the new secretary of state for Kansas did not bother to read the Minnesota Supreme Court decision that settled the Coleman election contest in the Minnesota Senate race in 2008, or he would not have offered such provably false assertions.
It's one thing for an average citizen to stew in his own ignorance about how elections get run, but it is more than a little disturbing that the elected official in charge of Kansas electoral processes has chosen ignorance over evidence.
Coming from a state that struggles to recognize the science of evolution, it may not be surprising, but it is still a real problem for Kansas citizens. Too bad for them
If Ritchie makes even a mild retort to Kobach's conspiracist rantings, he's the one who'll be portrayed as an extreme partisan.
Choosing ignorance over evidence is a routine strategy for the Republicans. All you need to do is look at their current set of "No's" and their reasons.
The most discouraging aspect to this situation is the lack of an effective means to combat the continuing lies about the Coleman/Franken election. These lies undermine voter confidence in all elections so no elected person is considered legitimate. No one who repeats the "stolen" election myth is likely to accept any facts including the MN Supreme Court opinion. And reasonable people in the GOP seem to be afraid to confront any of these extremists. Unfortunately this is just one example of creating an alternate reality where taxes on $5 million dollar estates are considered unfair to most people (Don't we wish we all had $5 million estates!)) and prudent end of life discussions with a doctor are "death panels".

Giving the classic wedge an athletically pumped-up kick, the Marc by Marc Jacobs' 'Calf Dorada Sneaker Wedge' brings some cool summer style. The street-style heeled sneakers come in a variety of bright colors and classic black and white. Straight from the Spring 2012 runway, they can be worn in a variety of different, laid-back ways to amp up your summer wardrobe.
These awesome hybrid kicks spawn from a common desire among fashionistas to revisit athletic-chic, yet still remain feminine and look put-together. If any one designer were to satisfy this need, it would be Marc Jacobs. Styling along the lines of the Spice Girls (can't you see this being a staple of Sporty Spice?), the Marc by Marc Jacobs' Sneaker Wedges are set to be a hit of Jacobs' Spring line.

PLANO, Texas-J.C. Penney has signed a commitment letter with Goldman Sachs for a five-year loan facility totaling $1.75 billion.
Under the terms of the letter, the department-store retailer will use the funds to pay for its ongoing working-capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. It will be secured by real estate and what a J.C. Penney statement described as "an interest in substantially all other assets of the company and certain of its subsidiaries."
Ken Hannah, J.C. Penney's chief financial officer, said the facility "is an important component of our strategic plan to strengthen the company's financial position." Two weeks ago, J.C. Penney announced that it had drawn $850 million on its $1.85 billion revolving credit facility to meet operating, working-capital and capital-expenditure needs. "Together with our revolving credit facility, this will give us the financial strength we need to meet our current funding requirements and build toward a successful future," Hannah said.

What's the best snack for working?
Susan: Coffee. That's a snack, right?
Do you prefer to work in silence or to music?
Susan: I used to like to work in silence, but we just got a new puppy and he is sedated by classical music. So now I listen to classical music or the yipping of a canine infant.
What's the best advice you've ever received?
Susan: Before I started writing in earnest, I was doing a lot of talking about writing and I asked a well-known Canadian writer for advice. He told me to stop talking and start writing. I was hugely offended at his impertinence, but he was correct.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
A writer and a costume designer.

Garfield County is located in North Central Nebraska with a rural population of 1,902. The county seat is located in Burwell where the current Garfield County Library was originally built in 1962 and functioned as a church. The heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system consisted of three forced air furnaces and a used swamp cooler. The swamp cooler drained into the neighboring lot which was currently under construction with new housing. The second half of the building was added in 1973. This portion of the building had two forced air furnaces and a window air conditioner. At some point another window air conditioner was added to the original portion of the building. In 2000, this facility was purchased by Garfield County with the intentions of renovating for use as a public library. A local non-profit, Friends of the Library, was successful in obtaining donations to cover the majority of remodeling expenses with the exclusion of the HVAC system. The furnaces were no longer efficient and had become costly to repair and operate.
Rural Development funds were received in February of 2011 to replace the old heating and cooling units with a more efficient HVAC system. This would include three new 13 SEER air conditioners and heat pumps (with back up heaters). A two and one-half ton heat pump with 10 kilowatt (KW) backup heat was installed in the South end of the building. A five ton heat pump with five (KW) backup heat was installed in the mid-section and a three and one-half ton heat pump with 15 KW backup heat was installed in the North end. The manufacturer offers a 10 year warranty on all parts and the compressor. If the compressor fails, the manufacturer sends out a whole new unit.
The new efficient HVAC provides for a safer and greater energy efficiency system and will help the overall budget of the Library.

Black Friday, which marks the start of the Thanksgiving holidays and the season of year-end festive shopping, brought a welcome relief to US retailers struggling to secure profits amid intense competition in a weak economy.
A record 226 million shoppers visited stores and websites during the four-day holiday weekend starting on Thanksgiving Day, up from 212 million last year, according to early estimates by the National Retail Federation released on Sunday. Sales over the long holiday weekend were up 16 percent from last year, marking the biggest dollar amount ever spent over the Black Friday period, with the average shopper spending $398.62 over the weekend, up from $365.34 in 2010.
Consumers are also likely to continue the trend today, as "Cyber Monday" – discounts on Internet retail sites – kicks off.
"We are anticipating a very strong Cyber Monday," said NRF vice president Ellen Davis.
According to research firm comScore, 50 million Americans visited online retail sites on Black Friday alone, a 35 percent jump from last year. Sales also spiked 26 percent this year, totaling $816 million in retail sales.
Amazon was the most visited website, followed by Wal-Mart, electronics giant Best Buy, Target and Apple, according to comScore.
Related: Days of tax-free internet shopping may soon be a thing of the past
However, the question remains whether retailers will be able to hold on to shoppers' attention throughout the rest of the season. Festive shopping in particular accounts for 25 to 40 percent of a merchant's annual revenue. Also significant: Consumer spending typically accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.

howdee I'm lurking and thinking of what I have for seeds. Acres |
Alright! We have a great list going so far, and I'm sure Acres isn't the only lurker :-) Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy Everyone should have gotten an e-mail from me with my addy, if you didn't get it please let me know :-) |
Hi Melissa, I just wanted to confirm that I am in! Thank you so much for hosting, I only have a few varieties of each at present, but expect a Baker Creek order this week which will double my varieties :-)) Thanks again. thehills |
How is everyone out there today? Come on lurkers......would love to have you join...you don't have to have alot of trades :-).....The first swap I joined I lurked around for about a week before I made up my mind to do it, so I certainly understand taking some time to look and assess your own seed situation :-) Oh, I got some great seeds in today, melons and cukes among them :-) |
- Posted by genoprizebull 6 Akron NY (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 10, 09 at 23:23
I'm in too! I'll only have a few but I'll send them in and have some fun. |

I was just telling my son today how I can't wait to taste the first ripe cucumber of the season ... yum! Sign me up! Bonnie |
Great! We have two more :-) Glad to have you join genoprizebull and Bonnie :-) Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy |
I would love to join! A special request. Since melon & cucumber seeds are a bit tricky in seed saving, it would be much appreciated if we ask that mystery melons or cucumbers (seed saved from farmer's market or grocery store fruit) not be included or at least marked as such. Also if the seed is saved seed, it would be nice to know if the plant was grown a distance from another plant. Of course commercial seed shared is terrific. I love trading & experimenting but don't have space for a mystery melon or cucumber. Thanks for the consideration on this :-) |
comary, glad to have you join! You brought up an excellent point. So, everyone, if seed was saved from your garden, please mark it as such and indicate if it was isolated (grown alone or an acceptable distance from other plants of its type..incuding neighbor's gardens if they are close), hand pollinated, or naturally polinated (with other plants of its type grown near it, if no other plants of that type were in your garden, mark it as isolated, unless you have really close neighbors with a garden) An example: If you live in the country and have no close neighbors and only grew one type of melon last year and saved seeds from it, on the bag with the name of the variety also write garden/isolated. If you grew multiple melons (or cukes) and handpollinated them before the bees got them, then on the bag with the variety name write garden/hand-pollinated. If you saved seeds and are unsure if they were hand-pollinated in time, or if you let pollination occur naturally without isolation or handpollination then just write garden/natural pollination. Then, whoever gets those seeds will know that they are taking a chance of the seeds not coming true to type when they are planted. Some experiments can turn out really well, but a person does need to know that they are taking a chance. Does this make sense to everyone? Hope that wasn't too long of a rambling explination :-) If you have questions, please feel free to ask :-) Melissa Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy |
bump.... |
I'm up for it. I'm new to this round robin thing, now is it melon sent is melon received, or could it be melon sent cucumber received? |
I would love to join, I have several melon seeds I will not need. Can I join too? thanks! |
Welcome jackbenny and Karen! Jackbenny, you would likely get a variety of seeds back. If you have special requests, please include a wish list and I will do my best to fill it depending upon what it sent in :-) Melissa Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy |
Thanks for adding me! also thanks for organizing the swap!! I will send out my Melon seeds asap. I am hoping for some cukes :) Karen / karendee |
Glad to have you Karen. I am sure you will get some cukes back :-) |

Welcome plantman!!! Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy |
Can you re-send me your address? I accidentally deleted it before I made address labels. I am excited about this swap! thanks! |
Karen, sent you an e-mail :-) Has everyone else received one? I remembered to ask most folks to reply to let me know they got the e-mail, but I think I may have left that off of a few e-mails, so if you didn't get one please let me know. |
thanks for resending to me.... I will be sending out my mailer real soon. I also have some extra address labels for you. thanks, |
I will post as I receive mailers. They will be filled in the order received :-) Lurkers, there is still pleny of time to join and get the mailers to me before March 6! |

I would love to join but I have never grown melons before and do not have a large selection to send from. If I send the few packs I have would you all be willing to share with me anyway? I really am interested in trying some melons and cukes. Please let me know and I would understand if it is not possible. Tammy/Greenthumbgrow |
Tammy, we would love to have you join! Even if you just have a few to share, that is fine! I am sure you will get some good ones back to try :-) Melissa |
- Posted by greenthumbgrow 7 - MD (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 22:24
Thanks Melissa. I really appreciate it. I have never grown them before because of all the room they require. But Fran gave me a good tip to try growing them on strong trellises for the cukes and I guess you could try with smaller melons also. I am going to try it with one melon (as a test) and make a melon bed this year for the others. I am sooo excited I will get the ones I do have ready to send in. Tammy |
Welcome :-) Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy |

I would LOVE to join in!!!! This is exactly what I need! LOL Tammy ~ I don't necessarily have the space either, but am hoping to grow about 20 diff types of pumpkins and melons this year.. so I'm going to let them trail all over my front yard (no grass yet anyways!) hehe! Thankyou! |
Welcome Wendy! Glad to have you join! Melon vines should make a nice groundcover for you ;-) And best of all, they produce such tasty fruit! Sign up list: Locals: Lisa, Lori, Wendy |
Melissa, My seeds were sent yesterday, thanks again for hosting. thehills |

I'm planning to get mine together over the weekend. I'll let you know when it's in the mail. Tammy, I grew canteloupes up a trellis last year and they did fine. The cucumber vines, I just let spill over into the empty lot next door. If the developer doesn't start building a house over there in the next couple of months, I may just have to use that lot to expand my vegetable garden. Do you think they'll notice, LOL? Bonnie |
Bonnie, I sure would grow some stuff there... Karen |
- Posted by greenthumbgrow 7 - MD (My Page) on Fri, Feb 20, 09 at 18:13
Thats funny. Because the patch I am having DH make for mine is in the "open space" next door. I asked if i could lant flowers over there. Weeell they do have flowers. tammy |
I have a ton of extra melon seeds. Count me in if its not too late. |

Oh I did a boo boo. I got to the po and had forgotten to put the return label in the card. I noticed when I was adding the stamps. (I sent extra stamps just in case- if there not used you can just send them back - I just wanted to make sure I send enough. rather send to many than too little. :-) Anyway. I added the return address on a piece of paper from the po but it is not sticky I hope you don't mind taping it on. Sorry about that. Thanks, |
No problem Tammy :-) No mailers today. Will keep you posted. |

I'm really looking forward to getting y'all packages together. We have some great stuff in already :-) No mailers today, but from the looks of it the received list will get longer real soon :-) Oh, I want y'all to know that I do hope to have the mailers back out before 3/16, but I just wanted to make sure I gave myself plenty of time, but want you to know that I will work really hard to get them back to you sooner :-) |

Wow, Melissa, that was fast! I didn't get it in the mail until Wednesday. That's highly unusual! I wonder if it's because I mailed it from the next town over, instead of the speck on the map I live in, LOL! Bonnie |
And another today :-) Mailers Received from: sjkentucky, please fix it so I can e-mail you. You do not have an e-mail link on your member page. Or, you can send me an e-mail and I will get back to you. Everyone else: I know that the GW mail was acting weird for a while there (don't know if that is resolved yet or not...)...I know it was several days before I got some mails, so if anyone still does not have my addy please let me know :-) |

New status update: Mailers Received from: kamiljablo/Kamil - SENT If no word from debi or sjkentucky by this afternoon, then I will assume they are OUT.

- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Tue, Mar 10, 09 at 18:59
aww Andrea that stinks! It is such a letdown when they don't follow thru and deliver as planned... :( Just 'checkin' in'..lol Hi everyone! |
I have it all sorted :-) That was a lot more difficult than anticipated, especially when it got to the last few mailers! Boy, there were tons of sugar baby and hales best! I'm pretty sure that I didn't give anyone back anything that they sent in, but I am going to go back and check that one final time before I send, which will (hopefully) be tomorrow, but I will post to let you know for sure after it is done. Andrea, I hate that the PO apparently lost your mailer :-( I sent you an e-mail. |
thanks for the update! I am excited to see what I get. if I get something I sent in that will be ok. I appreciate you doing this! Thanks, |
Everyone's mailer went back in the mail today! Hope they get to you soon :-) I really hope that everyone is pleased with their selection. I tried really hard to make sure that those who sent a wish list got several things off of their list. I hope those who didn't have a list are pleased with what I selected for them as well. Everyone got a few bonus packs, some of which were other veggies. Please post here when you get your mailer so that I will know everyone has received it. Melissa |

Chris, I could be wrong, but I think that Early Silver Line is a melon not a cuke. The label on the packet I received didn't say which one it was, but when I did a search, what turned up was a melon. BTW, nice list you've got there! Bonnie |
Here is a link that might be useful: Early Silver Line Melon
I got my seeds also. Sorry I forgot to post before. thanks so much, they are great!!!! Karen |
Been outta town a few days.....see that most of you have gotten your packages :-) That you like the things you got back. There are a few that haven't posted that they have received, so hope those all got there safely :-) Bonnie, you are right Early Silver Line is a melon.

An 18-wheeler loaded with live poultry struck a truck being used by contractors for Tennessee Department of Transportation who were placing reflectors on a section of I-75, just north of exit 33 in Charleston.
Officials with Tennessee Highway Patrol said trooper Travis Ryans was working the safety detail just before 4 a.m., today when his THP cruiser was also struck.
Ryans was taken to an Athens hospital for treatment, according to Dalya Qualls of THP Information Office.
Reports from the scene of this morning's deadly crash indicated three workers were installing the reflectors in the "Fog Zone" along the interstate system.
Another truck associated with the contractor company was south of the scene with arrow indicators that a construction crew was present.
According to Qualls, the 18-wheeler loaded with live poultry hit the contractor's vehicle which in turn collided with Ryan's cruiser.
One contract worker died at the scene. The driver of the 18-wheel rig was trapped inside the cab of his truck. Bradley County Fire Rescue officials responded to the scene to free the truck driver who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Bradley County Emergency Medical Service, along with Bradley County Sheriff's Office deputies, also aided at the scene.
Names of the two victims have not been released pending family notification.
Investigation is being handled by the THP Critical Incident Response Team.

Client Guide: Understanding Web Hosting and Domain Registration
By gerardmcgarry on 7th March 2007, filed in Client Guides, Internet Technologies. You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.
A common cause of confusion for first (and sometimes second) time website owners is all the jargon surrounding web hosting and domain registration. That's understandable, because to a non-techie, it really is a different language.
When I meet new clients, they'll often ask me to explain what each component is and why they need it. I've even come across people who believe their ISP has something to do with the process too!
So, this guide will be dedicated to explaining the basics of web hosting so that you can be clearer on web hosting. Hopefully you'll walk away with a better idea of how web hosting and domain registration work and how they relate to each other.
Web Hosting
Your website is made up of a number of different components: web pages, pictures and possibly a database if your site has any type of content management system. In order for these to be available on the Internet, they need to be 'hosted', or stored on a computer known as a server.
Different types of web hosting service exist for virtually any technical requirement or price point. Which one you choose depends on your website project.
Web hosts can provide additional services such as email accounts, website statistics and more. The number and types of service will very much depend on the company you choose to host with.
In essence though, your web host provides the storage for your website, whether that's HTML files, images or databases.
Domain Registration
A website without a domain can only be identified by a series of numbers known as an IP Address. IP addresses are how computers talk to one another, but they're not very easy to remember for humans. That's why we have domain names – to give an easy-to-remember name to each website.
The domain for this website, for example, is scribbledesigns.co.uk. The corresponding IP Address is 188.8.131.52. Which would you rather have on your business stationery?
So, in summary, your domain name is the easy-to-remember address for your website.
There are two ways to approach domain names: stick close to your brand or company name (which you should probably do by defaut), or attempt a clever industry tie-in. For example, B&Q use diy.com and Boots use wellbeing.com
Your ISP
As I said earlier, this can be a source of confusion. The simple fact is, your ISP provides you with a connection to the Internet and usually has nothing to do with your website.
This guide has been a simple introduction to web hosting and domains. As you can imagine, there is much more to the topic than what I've covered here. Hopefully, you now have a clearer understanding of the basics of website hosting.

- Bob said on April 25th, 2007 at 4:51 am :
so why is there so many sites to register your web domain name and who decides who gets to charge for it and why?
- dabmedia said on July 17th, 2007 at 10:21 am :
Domains in the UK are usually registered through a company called nominet, there are resellers who do all the registration for you
- Angel said on September 26th, 2007 at 12:28 pm :
As dab said there are so many companies in UK registered by that even so many are offering nice web hosting plans.

The Queensbridge housing project in Long Island City is the largest public housing development in the country, with at least 10,000 residents, and another 6,000 low-income families live in nearby Ravenswood. But only 30 percent have bank accounts, and most don't qualify for loans from traditional financial institutions — which makes it hard to get ahead.
That's why the East River Development Alliance is opening a credit union in LIC this spring. It will be the first credit union to open in the city in 10 years, and one of just two nationwide to be approved in 2009.
Unlike banks, credit unions function as cooperatives. They are owned by their members and exist to provide loans and other financial services at lower rates than traditional financial institutions.
Bishop Mitchell Taylor, ERDA's president, says the LIC credit union will extend loans to people would normally not have access to lines of credit. The point is to give struggling people a chance to get back on their feet.
"Once you get people employed — once you get people financially on track to some degree, then there has to be a mechanism to capitalize them — to give them the vehicle that can repair credit," Taylor said.
ERDA is offering money management classes and financial counseling for those wishing to join the new credit union. By becoming members, the bishop added, people can build healthy relationships with a financial institution and learn how to manage their finances.
"Years ago, [banks] would draw a line around a particular area and say, 'We're not going to lend to that particular area,'" Taylor said. "They called it red-lining." Then, as time went on, banks started "pink-lining," or lending at high interest rates. Public housing projects were often red-lined or pink-lined.
"When you own the bank — when you own your own financial cooperative, you erase the red line, you erase the pink line and you draw a big green line," Taylor explained, adding that he believes the credit union will do a great deal toward "breaking cycles of generational poverty."
Becoming a member of the LIC credit union requires just a $10 deposit. One thousand people have already pledged to join, and non-member deposits thus far total $1.2 million. Mayor Mike Bloomberg has also said that the city plans to deposit $25 million in credit unions this year.
The LIC credit union is set to open in April and will be located at 13-03 40th Ave.
If the LIC facility is a success, Taylor said, other similar neighborhoods might open their own credit unions.

Original post at http://spartafumcyouth.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-present.html
One of the big issues that adults struggle with is our inability to live totally in the present. Children live moment to moment. They do not worry about the future and unless prompted, do not waste their time in the past.
What kind of change would it make in our day to day living if we dealt only with what was happening "right now"? In order to accomplish this feat, we must continually remind ourselves that what is most important is happening in the here and now. We need to "master our minds" so that each time we find our thoughts wandering, we return to the most important time we have...the right now. We are not guaranteed any more than that...to believe it is ours keeps us from wholly trusting that God is in control and will be in charge no matter what occurs.
Faith that our lives are the concern of God and knowledge that we have the Creator of the universe laying out our path, frees us to be the children God calls us to be...
