Remember Me
UASC Members:
Please note that our October meeting is ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN USUAL, on October 24th instead of the 31st, to avoid conflicts with Halloween. This month we will be holding a special joint meeting with the Chicago Maritime Museum, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Rouse Simmons. Our meeting this month will again be in their facilities on the SIXTH floor of the Helix Building, 310 S. Racine at Jackson. Light refreshments start at 6:30, business at 7:00, and the featured speaker at 8:00. Here is the rest of the meeting description, as provided by our External Speaker Coordinator, Jim Jarecki:
October UASC speaker: Fred Neuschel
The UASC in conjunction with the Chicago Maritime Museum is pleased to present a special program commemorating the 100th anniversary of the loss of the Christmas Ship, the Rouse Simmons. Our featured speaker, Fred Neuschel, is the foremost authority on the long history of the Christmas Tree trade on Lake Michigan. Fred will separate fact from fiction of Captain Santa and the Christmas Tree Ship.
Memorialized in songs, poems, fiction, and even a musical, the famous ship that went down in a Thanksgiving storm while delivering Christmas trees to Chicago has long been shrouded in myth and legend. As a result, the larger story of the captain, crew, and affected c ommunities has often been overlooked. Fred Neuschel delves into this everyday life, camaraderie, drudgery, ambition, and adventure - with tales of the Midwest's burgeoning immigrant groups and rapid industrialization - to create a true story that is even more fascinating than the celebrated legends.
Fred Neuschel was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and lives with his wife in Crystal Lake, IL. He received his Master of Divinity degree from Colgate Rochester Divinity School and has worked for over thirty years in mental health chaplaincy and counseling. His previous historical work has been published in Inland Seas, Voyageur, Chicago History, and Wisconsin Magazine of History.

"To view the potency of narrative, consider the following statement: "The king died and the queen died." Compare it to "The king died, and then then queen died of grief." This exercise, presented by the novelist E. M. Forster, shows the distinction between mere succession of information and a plot. But notice the hitch here: although we added information to the second statement, we effectively reduced the dimension of the total. The second sentence is, in a way, much lighter to carry and easier to remember; we now have one single piece of information in place of two. As we can remember it with less effort, we can also sell it to others, that is, market it better as a packaged idea. This, in a nutshell, is the definition and function of a narrative."
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan
As we saw in Molly Brooks' excellent comic that came out this past week, it's easy as a fan to reduce hockey to theatre. It's not just hockey: political reporters love to attribute slight increases or decreases in poll support to the public's reaction on a promised policy change or event on the campaign trail.
It's easy and satisfying to attach reason to everything, but part of the beauty of sports is that things happen without regard of logic or good sense. Not each outcome is determined, and the best team doesn't win every game in every sport. If they did that, nobody would watch.

Does anyone grow cymbidium finlaysonianum? I've been growing mine for about 7 years. Its on the large side, but it never blooms. Also half of the leaves are green and half are yellowish. I grow it outdoors in South Florida and I think my problem is with my watering... Does anyone know how much to water this orchid Summer/Winter? I'm growing it bare-root. It was attached to a large wood basket, but that rotted away over the years. Another problem might be the lighting. I had it in dappled sun/shade, but I recently moved it to a little bit brighter area in the fork of a royal Poinciana tree, in a low fork so that it still gets the brighter light. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Joss |
Follow-Up Postings:
It should be a doddle to grow and bloom in South Florida. "Brighter Light" the Cymbidium fanciers here grow their babies under an appropriate shade-rated shade-cloth so the plants get all day filtered sunlight. Do you fertilise the plant every so often with a complete fertiliser? |

The ACEEEO General Assembly approved on our Annual Conference in Constanta, Romania, the project proposal to create an International Scientific Network of Elections. The main goal of this initiative is to use scientific, first of all sociological achievements for analyzing election processes.
As the first step toward realization of the initiative, we would like to include discussions on "International experience of applying sociology in Electoral processes" into the agenda of the 2009 Annual Conference to be held in Yerevan, Armenia.
Our idea is to discuss and compare the lessons already learned by sociologists about the election processes. Consequently, we didn't conduct a new researches and we recommended to use already existing sociological results for those ACEEEO members, who joined the project.
We already agreed with a few sociologists upon their participation in advance, though we believe that further countries will join this initiative. The ACEEEO Secretariat intends to organize a working meeting in March-April 2009 in order to meet the authors of the country studies and to prepare discussing this topic in the course of the 2009 Yerevan conference.
In the future we intend to continue this sociological research with the help of voluntary researchers.

...like I need another hole in my head or another dog!! And I can safely say I don't need either one thankyouverymuch!! So why did I sign up for crochet instructions? Beats me, my friend said she was taking a class and would I like to come,so I'm just trying to help a local gal out who is trying to earn some money in this economy. She started us out with a basic chain and double chains to make a granny square. I think after we conquer that she is going to get us into some of the fancier stitches. I used to crochet waaaay back when and haven't really done anything with it for years and years. I guess it's good to relearn something but it isn't a hobby I plan on doing a lot. I have enough going with my cross-stitch, spinning, and knitting. Speaking of spinning, a friend in town raises Shetland sheep and I took a bunch of his roving to our spinning and weaving meeting Weds and they went gaga over his stuff!! There is a market for it and I've been telling him that for over a year but he hasn't done anything to promote himself. They were thrilled when I told them I sold 13 roving coils for them. Now if I can just get them to price them so they can make some money!! Off to train the dogs so I can have peace tonight and get on with my cross stitch horses. |

« June 2009 Table of Contents
Ever since the economy began to nosedive last fall and restaurants all over the country started closing their doors, retail experts have assumed that a lot of money consumers saved by not eating out as much would be spent at retail instead. Not so fast.
As this played out over the past six months, every retailer I spoke with also mentioned lean times, give or take a few independent retailers that are bucking the trend. So I asked John Snyder to look into this assumption that retail seafood was benefiting from the sluggish economy. Snyder, a freelance writer and seafood industry veteran, found that's not exactly the case (see Top Story, p. 16).
Seafood is the most expensive of the four main protein categories and is still considered a luxury item by most consumers - a luxury they can skip in lean times. Combine the waning enthusiasm for seafood with higher prices for some species like Chilean farmed salmon, and supermarkets have their work cut out for them.
Aside from the supposed retail windfall, another assumption is that consumers will know how to cook seafood once they get it home. Wrong. The popularity of prepared items at the seafood counter is evidence that consumers still need help cooking the protein. Contributing Editor Christine Blank interviewed several independent retailers for this issue's What's in Store column and found they are seeing a surge in demand for ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat seafood items.
One part of the country that probably bucks the cooking-seafood-at-home trend is Alaska, which celebrates its 50th anniversary of statehood this year. Readers will find a special section in this issue (Alaska's Golden Anniversary, p. 21) devoted to Alaska's seafood processors. Alaskans endure extreme harvesting and processing conditions, huge transportation costs and unbearable weather to get seafood on dinner plates worldwide and they deserve the utmost respect. Despite being one of the country's youngest states, you'll find as you peruse the pages in this special section that Alaska's seafood industry has a rich history worth celebrating.

Matthew Coates draws Bainbridge home green, elegant
"We don't have to compromise here. We live in luxury," says Joanne Ellis of her Bainbridge Island home. Hers is one of the first in Washington (outside Seattle) to achieve LEED platinum status.
LET'S BEGIN AT the end: Joanne Ellis' favorite thing about her new home on a Seattle-facing Bainbridge Island bluff.
"It's the joy of being in a space that is me. That's what a custom home should be. It should fit you like a fine-tailored suit."
You may consider Joanne and Ed Ellis to be most beautifully dressed.
The story of their home, though, certainly could have begun with the for-the-record fact that theirs is one of the first outside Seattle to achieve LEED platinum status. Wood milled on site; Re Store deconstruction of the old house; geothermal heating; earth-friendly materials; Forest Stewardship Council-approved lumber framing; FSC-certified rainscreen siding; photovoltaic systems; green roof; soy-based stain and sealant; hydronic radiant-heat floors; rainwater harvesting; solar hot-water flat panels; heat-recovery vent; hybrid insulation system.
Even environmentalist extraordinaire/actor Ed Begley Jr. came to take a look.
But it's just that the place, 2,500 square feet finished in 2009, is so darned cool and contemporary. What stands out is the design. The elegance. The comfort. This home does not wear its sustainability on its sleeve.
Finally, modern aesthetic meets sustainable lifestyle in the finest forms of each.
"We don't have to compromise here," Ellis says. "We live in luxury."
She's not bragging. She's sharing. "The more we talk about it, maybe we'll inspire somebody else," she says.
The couple interviewed architects, and architects interviewed them. Then the Ellises chose Matthew Coates of Coates Design Architects to create their equally contemporary and sustainable project. Melissa Andersen of All in the Details worked with Ellis on the elegant interiors.
The Ellises were inquisitive, enthusiastic but, most of all, practical clients. For every element of their house they asked: How are we going to use it? Can it be recycled? And does it have two purposes?
"If you can't clean it, I don't want it," Ellis says. "I use our wedding dishes. Why not? I find replacements at garage sales.
"One of my mantras is, get what you need, use what you get or give it away. I don't want to be the steward of a lot of stuff."
The open main living space flexes with the crowd. The Caesarstone (recycled quartz) kitchen counter runs the length of the house, making it also a dining-table sideboard and workbench. The TV room is a man cave, Ed's office and, pull out the pocket door, guest room. Pull the lip of the sofa and it becomes a lounger. Pull again, it's a bed. The Miele oven is also a microwave.
Sluicing through the home is a two-story CMU (concrete masonry unit) wall. It is the home's strength. The mass also heats and cools. "During the last power outage, I finally put a sweatshirt on by the end of the second day," Ellis says.
Floors downstairs are radiant concrete, cork up. The raised-seam metal siding, in a frosted pewter color, travels inside to define the TV room, runs across the kitchen wall and back outside.
The home is set for aging in place. Necessities on one floor; upstairs office and guest room.
What you see out back, waterside, is not lawn. It's a meadow. The firepit/sculpture was formerly a buoy found at a marine scrap yard.
"Part of our journey was to encourage and support subcontractors and the people we came in contact with," Ellis says of the education that is their home. "But that practicality streak has to be part of the equation.
"I call this the common-sense house."
Rebecca Teagarden writes about architecture and design for Pacific Northwest magazine. Benjamin Benschneider is a magazine staff photographer.


text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 614 - 08 February, 2006 Written Answers. - Age Discrimination. Mr. Lowry Mr. Lowry 260. Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if legislation is planned to end age discrimination in employment and vocational training associated with forced retirement at 65 years of age; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4573/06] Mr. Killeen Mr. Killeen Mr. Killeen: There is no age discrimination in employments rights legislation and there is no compulsory retirement age. Such legislation describes an employee as "a person of any age who has entered into or works under (or, where the employment has ceased, entered into or worked under) a contract of employment. . .". In some employments, a "normal retirement age" exists for that employment only. In such cases, the normal age of retirement can be below or above 65 years of age, in order to give flexibility to employers and employees, having due regard to the nature of the work being performed. In these circumstances, I do not propose to introduce legislation to set a mandatory retirement age. 704 The upper age limit of 66 for bringing claims under the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977 to 2001 was removed by the Equality Act 2004. The effect of this is that a person who is over the age of 66 [704] when dismissed is not excluded from taking a case under the Unfair Dismissals Acts unless he or she has already reached the normal retirement age for that employment, if one exists. With regard to vocational training, there is no upper age restriction on access to the Department's in-company training schemes or to FÁS vocational training programmes.

I'm a veggie gardener and I plant in rows, everything neat and orderly. So I'm really having problems getting started on the designs for our 3/4 woodland "garden". Right now it's bare soil that's graded flat with house construction. Summer weather starts about July 5 and then there's little rain until October. So that's the soonest I'll be planting. Are there books you would suggest for getting someone like me started on getting the concepts on this type of planting. The only given is that there will be no tall fir or alder due to our winds. And of course by the time the fir got tall I'll be under them. We need some privacy plantings on two sides and after that we're open. I just want it all to fit together and not be separate like rows of beans and cabbage. Any suggestion of what to start reading or looking at? We're in a maritime climate, zone 8/9, summer highs around 70 and 30" rain/year with dry summers. Thanks, Tom |

that's 3/4 acre. Tom |
I think your imagination and some thoughtful looking at the gardens of others are the best design tool you can have. If you need screening, does it have to be a hedge, or would plants arranged in less formal groups work? With no large trees are you really going to have a woodland, or more of a woodland edge with shrubs and wildflowers that thrive with some sunlight? You will want year-round interest, so don't plant too many spring flowers, too many evergreens, etc. Do you want a pond, rocks, logs or stumps, etc.? I recommend a sketch of the garden as a way of organizing and remembering your ideas. Leave plenty of space for each plant; much garden maintenance is the result of too many plants too close together (and most of the rest is caused by weeds). Start by planting the larger elements of your garden - trees, clumps of shrubs, etc. - and plan to fill in around them over the years. Incorporate vistas from the house or other places you will spend time. Don't forget the basic but generally overlooked rule of planting larger things toward the back, smaller things in front. Back and front may be defined based on a path, view from the house, or in other ways. Finally, make sure you have lots of plants that attract wildlife such as birds and butterflies. |

There will be a few large trees as heartnut and empress tree. They hold up well in our winds. And there will be a few large screening trees to block the view of a neighbors house to our north. Thinking about Leland Cypress there because it's 150-200 feet downwind from our house. Your term "woodland edge" may be more of what I'm trying to plan. I'd like to have a few private siting areas but for the most part I'd like it to naturalize. If mobility for us becomes a problem in years to come I'd just like to let it go on its own. I've been looking at wholesale nursery catalogs and the choices for plantings is overwhelming. May narrow the list down by concentrating on plants native to here. Today I'll start getting measurements and start sketching. Thanks, Tom |
I would also go with plants native to your area. "Noah's Garden" and "Planting Noah's Garden" by Sara Stein are good books. A local native plant society would probably have some good plant lists for you. Musser Forests is a good provider of trees and such. Shipping into and out of the west is becoming an issue with trees so check your catalogs to make sure what you are able to get. Big things, and things that will get big, should be sited furthest from your house and driveway. You should plan with you and your plants' requirements in mind but don't get overly stressed about the looks per se. It is hard to make living plants look bad in my humble opinion. |
You are so lucky, what a project! It does sound a bit daunting though. One of the country's best garden designers is in your area, and she's written tons of books. Ann Lovejoy, gives classes in Seattle too. The librarys and bookstores should have a lot of her stuff. Her books are like talking over your ideas with a good friend, who's reeally knowledgable. Fredrick Law Olmstead, designed Central Park in NYC and the huge park in SF, and began Landscape Architecture. It might be fun to read about him, as you follow in his footsteps, with your big design challenge and a blank slate. Your library can get this, through inter-library loan. 'A Clearing in The Distance' http://www.amazon.ca/Clearing-Distance-Frederick-Olmsted-Nineteenth/dp/0684824639 Your local Cooperative Extension Service, can be a very helpful resource, and has ties to the State Agricultural Univ. The master gardener program, is set up so that knowledgeable, helpful, volunteers, can help you find answers. If you have the time to voluteer, their voluteer training program might be useful. It sounds like you are already well on your way, thinking about what effects you want, where. One idea that can be helpful, is taking a couple of very light seats around the yard to sit, and see what each area needs, where you want your patio, veggie patches, screenings, etc. Now would be the time, to rent a baby bobcat, if you wanted to add some contours to the yard. :) look out for buried utility lines though... On the edge, where you want some high screening, there could be a path behind a low berm where you put the tall stuff. A winding path near the borders, will be nice for walks, when you're gray haired, and give you access to the back of the veggies... Out front too, perennials and an ornamental small tree on a berm, create a more sheltered feeling when you're on the front porch. Think gentle, plausible, shapes, not bunkers, and plan the low places, and drainage too. Plants that needed more and less water would have it. In CT, almost all the yards, have several feet in the back with ignored woods. This is good, and makes a cumulative woodland on every block. They say the state looks greener from the air. There used to be quite a lot written on planting windscreens, on the upwind edge, of a yard, to prevent another dust bowl. Shorter, then taller plants, would lift winds up. In googling 'trees windscreen', spruce and mahonia, and cedar and pine, are mentioned now. Thuja, is better downwind, or where you won't brush against it, as its oil causes rashes, athsma etc. Is there time for something like a cover crop, or city compost, to condition and hold the soil?

Ditch the empress tree. Paulownia causes too many problems and has become quite a weed in many areas. |

Well I'll start ordering some of these books from the library today. I've been concentrating on the house construction so much that I didn't pay much attention to the gardens and other landscaping. Because of the ongoing construction I'm limited in what I can do for planting right now. I found a native plant society chapter about an hour from here and have bookmarked Mussers. Thanks for your suggestions. Maifleur, what are the problems you see with the empress tree. Does it reseed like mimosas? Tom |
Tom, Do a search under the name Paulownia. Then think Bird of Paradise tree. Seeds and more seeds. |
Hi Tom, Here's 3 more book ideas, although, for the other ones you'll have to scroll down in the link, to the 4% and 5% ones, of the section that has which books other people bought. This may be the book that talks about the 4 height layers: mosses to ankle biters, garden plants to 3'-4', shrubs to ~12' , and trees. It's a usefull design concept. You west coasters can play with tucking in some mosses, which can add a magical woodsyness. The other recent thread about getting rid of catalpas, was probably, about paulownias. NY & CT have been fierce about getting rid of them, aren't they lovely though? Seeds, oh yeah! A real pest. |

Florey, I got 5 of Lovejoy's books and they really address what I'm trying to create. Have a couple of books on native Pacific Northwest Shrubs ordered thru the library too. So when we're at the new home we wander the land and start to plan on what we may do in the various areas. Have only changed our minds 100x so far. I think we'll just address a few areas where we want to plant some visual barriers on two of the property lines and planting on the septic drain field for this autumn's plantings. Then we can look it over all winter while we live there and decide what to do in the spring.The County has a listing of plants/bulbs/grasses they recommend for the septic plantings. Maifluer, I think I'll go with heartnuts instead of the Empress tree. Thanks for the advice. The purpose of the large disiduous is for structure in one corner of the land. Again as the vegetable gardener I've been thinking of how to get this all done by the end of next year. Now I'm starting to apprecite the fact that this will be an ongoing process that may be as enjoyable as veggie gardening. Tom |
Get your hands on 'Gaias Garden' by Toby Hemenway it changed everything for me [a light in the dark]. |
Hey Tom, We'll be looking forward to some pictures this year. That Gaia's book had useful new ideas, recommended. florey |

Can't believe that it was June when I originally posted and we were living in a garage apartment and barn. Now we're in our new home and are getting started on this project. It's interesting how our thoughts on this woodland planting have evolved since then. We've decided to put some deciduous trees, 15' - 25' mature height, in the plantings. We decided against the privacy hedge on one side and will plant rhodys, azaleas, camellias, and frens along the front. The side with the privacy planting has leyland cypress and California myrtle. We're going through Lawyer's Nursery site and picking out most of the smaller native shrubs. Have to get them ordered quickly so as to get them planted while there is still rain. Otherwise will have to wait a year. So all you comments helped. Thanks, Tom |

Tom, I'm glad to hear you are making progress. Have you thought about Ginkgo Biloba? They are beautiful and look awesome as accent trees. They are slow growing generally (I have seen 10 feet after 8 years) and have an interesting vase shape that becomes spreading with age. If you want to avoid the stinky seeds (you do) then there are plenty of male cultivars available. Do a quick forum search about them. Some Ginkgo in china are over 1000 years old. Imagine your garden then! |

You might want to "look" at pictures of shade/woodland gardens for inspirations. Check out some of Ken Druse books from the Library. The Natural Shade Garden and the Natural Garden are books with great inspirational pictures. |
Hi there, neighbor to the north. Vashon Island here. Going with the natives? Small trees: Vine maple, Indian plum also called sand plum, a small tree about the size of vine maple - white flowers just starting to bloom right now and very pretty. And you must plant the native dogwood with the greenish white flowers - tall slim and gray barked, grows in sun or shade, a beauty. Cornus nuttalii. There's a native currant that is large enough to almost be a small tree, with pretty pink flowers. What about the eastern Washington elderberry with the blue berries? It is GORGEOUS and delicious. About a 30 foot tree. Likes to grow by water over there, but we're so moist here you can grow anywhere. These are all doing very well in my forest edge garden here, and I do nothing to care for them - they're all adapted. Shrubs: Evergreen huckleberry (beautiful), Snowberry, and my favorite: Thimbleberry - Grow a thicket of these and you'll smell the lemony scent of their leaves several feet away, they have pretty white flowers that look like strawberry blossoms in May, and they fruit in July - to my mind the most delicious berry - a winey flavor that lingers on the tongue. Not as many berries as rasp or black, but far tastier And a clump of these is really attractive with something growing in front - they have bare legs. What about a hedge or clump of salmonberries? They look scraggy in the winter, but in summer they are light green and fresh, and they are the staple food of hummingbirds around here in March - ours always attract the hummers & then we supplement with feeders by the window to watch the birds |

David Murray and Linda Silmalis, The Sunday Telegraph, 11 March 2012
Billionaire James Packer has donated $250,000 to maverick Queensland MP Bob Katter's Australian Party ahead of the Queensland election in two weeks.
The donation was made by one of Mr Packer's most senior company executives, Michael Uzunovski, on behalf of Treysta Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mr Packer's Consolidated Press Holdings, which has its headquarters in Sydney.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal Mr Uzunovski made the $250,000 donation to the Queensland division of Mr Katter's Australian Party on Thursday.
A spokesman for Mr Packer confirmed the billionaire had authorised the donation.
He said Mr Packer had great respect for Mr Katter, whom he viewed as a straight-shooting politician who fought for his electorate and for indigenous employment issues in northern Queensland.
Mr Katter's Australian Party now has three of the country's most powerful men on side, gaining support from Mr Packer, talkback king Alan Jones and advertising guru John Singleton.
The massive donation and an extra $50,000 from Mr Singleton gives the fledgling party a major financial shot in the arm as it prepares to field 76 candidates in the state's 89 seats in the March 24 poll.
"The Packers have always been our people," Mr Katter said in a statement. "There is no surprise to have this support for our patriotic line of defending Australia and Australian industry."

For starters, here's the link: https://docs.google....it?usp=sharing.
I decided to do a new campaign for my gaming group, but additionally I wanted to do a new setting. We've had done Warhammer twice now, and I wanted a change of scenery. I've had been playing Thief and Dishonored, so I wanted to do a dark steampunk setting that centered around a singular city. Thus, Candlelight. This is the rough rough draft of the setting, which most of the focus placed on converting all of the game's careers to lore compatable ones with the new world.
What I am interested in is feedback - what do you feel is good about the world? What should I focus on more, and what needs less focus compared to others? How can I expand the setting? Constructive criticism is the name of the game people.
Oh, and you are more than welcome to make use of this.

Volume 68 - Supplement 1
New York State HIV Testing Law (Implementation Research)
Guest Editor:
Birkhead, Guthrie S., M.D., M.P.H., Deputy Commissioner, Office of Public Health, New York State Department of Health
This Supplement provides an evaluation of the 2010 New York State HIV Testing Law which requires the offer of HIV testing, to patients aged 13-64 years receiving medical care in in-patient and primary care settings.
New Focus Area: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
JAIDS is now accepting manuscripts for a new focus area of interest: HBV and HCV
The investment in HIV research has allowed us to make huge advances in controlling a formerly brutal epidemic. Now, what we've learned from HIV is being applied to hepatitis viruses, both HBV and especially HCV where curative treatments are on the verge of transforming that epidemic as well. JAIDS believes there is a clear synergy in these research efforts and that on all levels these research efforts are vital to share across the boundaries of interest of specific viral infections. JAIDS looks forward to publishing the best of this work and calls for manuscripts in HCV and HBV research as well as in ongoing work against HIV infection.

The editors, publisher and staff of JAIDS morns the loss of Joep Lange, a true leader in the worldwide fight against the HIV epidemic, who was killed in the senseless destruction of the Malaysian Air flight bringing him and others to the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne Australia. Joep was a dear colleague and friend to so many in our field and a tireless advocate for a science-based approach to improve patient outcomes and for universal access to HIV care. He helped create programs in many resource limited regions especially in Africa and Asia. He was a quiet, centered and refined man who could be a strong and determined voice against those opposed to equality in care. He was tireless in his work and an exemplary collaborator. He was joined in this tragedy by his equally effective partner Jacqueline van Tongeren. Dr. Lange was a past president of the International AIDS Society, the convener of the Melbourne conference, and will be sorely missed by all. Joep would have been the first to note the misguided violent forces behind this terrorist attack that cost the lives of innocent passengers and our dear colleagues and friends.

Linda Wieck poses recently with a variety of camo quilts that she and volunteers assemble in Plymouth. Wieck started the Camo Quilt Project in 2006. The project has distributed more than 17,000 quilts for U.S. soldiers.
- Filed Under
A patriot generally is thought of as someone who loves and defends his or her country - but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
Many members of the military are patriots. But so is an Appleton student who gives up evenings and weekends to play taps at military funerals, or a Plymouth woman who organizes a volunteer network that distributes quilts to troops, or a Marshfield man who helps register voters and engage them in the political process.
Gannett Wisconsin Media reporters across the state profiled patriots of all stripes - and stars - as Independence Day approaches. Following are some of the people we encountered.
» Linda Wieck, 63, Plymouth
What she does to demonstrate patriotism: Linda Wieck didn't set out to start a movement, she just thought a camouflage quilt would be a nice gift for her son-in-in-law's pending deployment to Iraq.
But the quilt caught the eye of other soldiers in Todd Richter's Army National Guard unit, and Wieck stepped up as the requests rolled in. What resulted is a volunteer network that since April 2006 has sewn and distributed more than 17,000 camouflage quilts for American soldiers.
The Camo Quilt Project runs on donations and ships about 250 quilts a month, filling requests from soldiers, family members and even commanding officers seeking to outfit entire units. Wieck, who is retired, puts in about 30 hours a week to coordinate the effort, down from 50 hours last year when the group was distributing 500 quilts a month at the height of the Iraq War deployment.
"I work more than I did when I worked," Wieck, said with a laugh, speaking over the buzz of sewing machines. "We'll continue making them as long as there's requests."
Most of the work is done in donated factory space in Plymouth, but volunteers also regularly assemble in Wauwatosa, Eau Claire, Antigo, Janesville, West Bend, Fredonia, Madison and Mayville, as well as Minnesota and occasionally other states.
What patriotism means to her: "It's there because of our military and the soldiers giving their all to keep our country free," Wieck said. "We wouldn't have these if it wasn't for them, and it's just our way of saying thank-you to them, and, 'We support you and are there for you.'"
» Walter Specht, 82, Manitowoc
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: Specht has been handing out small American flags during the Manitowoc Memorial Day parade for years. He also presents American flag lapel pins to veterans in nursing homes and has obtained larger flags for scout troops and other organizations.
He has been a member of AMVETS Post No. 99 since 1956. It is one of Manitowoc's longest-standing veterans organizations.
Specht and his wife, Donna, were honored in 2008 at a ceremony in Appleton for donating more than 3,000 hours of their time to visit veterans at homes throughout the state.
What patriotism means to him: In a word, respect.
"Let's start teaching patriotism and respect for our flag to the youth of America and civic responsibility and love to our country to students in grades K through 12. The goal is to reach every student in the nation in public and private schools and help explain the proper care of our flag," he said.
» Paul Missett, 62, Wausau
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: Missett is a former Marine and chairman of the Wausau Veterans Committee. More important, he is a member of the American Legion who organizes one of the Legion's most important functions: the proper disposal of American flags.
Of the nearly 1,000 tattered, torn and faded flags turned in to the Wausau American Legion and VFW posts each year, all but one is incinerated at local funeral homes. A single flag is chosen to be ceremonially burned in an annual rite that honors the flag and country, Missett said.
"The ceremony helps us remember to respect the flag and all of the lives that have been lost fighting for it," Missett said.
What patriotism means to him: "Patriotism is about celebrating freedom," he said. "The freedom to be able to express ourselves and the right to disagree with our leaders, right or wrong. Our families live freely here. Our kids go to the schools they want to go to, live the lives they want to live. The freedom to live our lives is very much a gift."
» Steven Walsh, 19, Appleton
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: When not studying for his degree in government at Lawrence University, Walsh travels around the state to play bagpipes with Wisconsin's Clan Donald. The band of pipers and drummers from the northeast part of the state has marched in Appleton's Flag Day parade for the past few years and performs at military functions and funerals of service members. Walsh, who has been playing the pipes for the past five years, said being able to help out during military functions makes him "feel good."
What patriotism is to him: Walsh may have performed in several parades full of pomp and circumstance during his tenure in the band, but more often ends up encountering service members in hard times - usually during memorial services and funerals. Though the services are somber, he can provide support for families and friends, and "add another uniform to the crowd."
"Patriotism isn't just support of your country, it's support of the people who support your country," Walsh said. "The people who support service members and their families can be just as powerful as those who actually serve the country."
» Kathy Gilmore, 59, Menasha
What she does to demonstrate patriotism: Gilmore guides the more than 60 veterans enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley through the federal and state requirements for educational benefits. It's a confusing chore filled with complicated requirements, and student-veterans often tell Gilmore they are thankful to have a guide through the process, she said. Despite the tough work, the opportunity to bring higher education within reach for men and women who have served the U.S. is "very rewarding." After all, the people returning from service are the most patriotic people in the country, she said.
What patriotism is to her: Gilmore thinks that somehow the definition of patriotism has become very narrow for many people in the U.S.
"It seems like some people think, if you don't believe this or do this, you are not patriotic," Gilmore said. "But it's not black and white - it's about loving this country and supporting this country in any way you can."
» Kevin McDermott, 44, Milwaukee, and Steven Smits, 51, Omro
What they do to demonstrate patriotism: After leaving the Air Force National Guard, the two veterans founded Patriot Taxiway Industries, a small business in Lomira that develops and manufactures lighting systems for aviation customers that include Boeing, the Federal Aviation Authority and the U.S. military. Smits, a disabled veteran, and McDermott have worked hard to recruit veterans to work at the company located in the small village of Lomira south of Fond du Lac. Veterans now account for 80 percent of their workforce and more than half qualify as disabled veterans.
"There's a reason we're doing what we're doing," said Smits, who developed permanent rheumatoid arthritis from the anthrax vaccine he received before deployment in 2003. "We're able to draw upon our veterans' skills, experience, commitment and integrity to provide a superior product and service."
One of the first products McDermott and Smits developed was a special lighting system for KC-135 airplanes used in medical evacuations in the Middle East.
"As a maintainer of this aircraft and knowing its mission personally, it really hit close to home," Smits said. "The injuries soldiers have endured in Iraq are horrific. We didn't want medics relying on flashlights during emergency surgery."
What patriotism means to them: "Traveling around the world we've seen a lot of places and faces that don't have the freedoms and rights we enjoy. We really do live in the greatest country," McDermott said. "We take a lot of pride in the fact that we both served many years to help provide a country where its people have freedom and rights. We've seen a lot more than other people get to see traveling around the world. We do have the greatest country on earth. We've seen a lot of places and faces that don't have the freedoms we enjoy."
» Jody Clements, 40, Marshfield
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: Clements volunteers as one of Marshfield's chief elections inspectors and is responsible for ensuring all laws are followed at a polling location. The key to democracy is that every adult has the opportunity to vote, Clements said. Registering voters and answering their questions on Election Day is tremendously important, he said.
What patriotism is to him: Clements, who is also a Marshfield firefighter, said patriotism takes many forms. Everyone who votes and the poll workers who help them to do it are patriots because they are a part of the democratic process, he said. "Voting is one of the things that makes this a great country," Clements said. "Voting is one of the most important things you can do as an American."
» Jerry Miller, 67, Green Bay
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: Jerry Miller is a founding board member of the Green Bay Country Club who organizes an annual golf-outing fundraiser for veterans. He will host the 11th annual event in October. Miller says the veteran outing is the biggest event he has been able to coordinate to make an impact in the community.
Each year, veterans pay to be a part of the outing, and those funds are then distributed to related programs in the area. Miller also started an Adopt a Soldier program that sent 99 personalized care packages to 99 different soldiers in the 432nd Civil Affairs Battalion who were deployed in Afghanistan. This year, Miller has raised $9,000 to distribute to local veteran organizations.
What patriotism means to him: "I think patriotism is being proud to have been born in the United States of America and making sure that others appreciate it as much as I feel I do. The best I can do is spread the word the United States is the place to be."
» Amy Pagel, 41, Green Bay
What she does to demonstrate patriotism: Pagel has been playing taps at military funerals since 2006, only three years after she first learned to play the instrument. She was prompted to learn how to play the trumpet when she read numerous articles after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that said many of the funerals for victims were playing recorded rather than live music.
Pagel is a member of Bugles Across America, a group that provides volunteer service for military funerals. In May, she played taps with more than 160 other buglers for Arlington National Cemetery's 150th commemorative anniversary in Arlington, Va. Because most musicians don't get a chance to play at the national cemetery, Pagel said it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Playing for the anniversary was also a special event in Pagel's life because it was the same day that her husband retired from the reserves.
What patriotism means to her: "It's basically just about supporting people that are willing to give up everything. It's just my little tiny piece of what I can do to give back to them."
» Mike Weaver, 65, Kaukauna
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: Weaver served as a medic in the Vietnam War and has been a member of Appleton's Vietnam Veterans of America chapter for years. Along with other members of the group, Weaver travels to high schools every year to give students a firsthand account of what the war was like. The program, called "History Alive!" is a kind of traveling museum - members bring in artifacts from the war, such as clothing and weapons. Weaver also is northeast Wisconsin's senior ride captain for the Patriot Guard Riders, an organization whose members attend the funerals of U.S. armed forces members at the invitation families to provide moral support. The group started as a motorcycle group, but members no longer need a bike to join - all that's needed is "respect and compassion" for what the lost service member has done.
What patriotism is to him: "To me, the main focus is to support veterans and their families," Weaver said. "To acknowledge them, to honor them, to let them know that there are thousands of others that respect what they do, even if they disagree with current political policies. These are young men and women that have pledged to support the United States and honor what the president has asked them to do. We value that, we support that and we respect that."
» Dennis Kaminsky, 67, Stevens Point
What he does to demonstrate patriotism: Kaminsky served in the Army during the Vietnam War, doing a tour of duty in Korea. Upon returning to central Wisconsin, he worked as a blacksmith for the next 33 years, becoming more active with the local American Legion Post 6 and eventually serving as post commander.
"We help them out at King (Veterans Assistance Center), we do the parades, we do the rituals," Kaminsky said about his service with the American Legion. "We feel it's an honor to do that for veterans, because some of them didn't come back. We all gave some, but some gave all."
On Sundays, he goes to cemeteries and fixes flag holders at veterans' grave sites. Why?
"Well, it's a lot easier doing that than sitting in a foxhole with somebody sniping at you," he said.
What patriotism means to him: From his back porch, Kaminsky points out where he watches Stevens Point's Fourth of July fireworks every year, and he reflects on the cost of living the American dream.
"Vets gave a real sacrifice. We're enjoying all this here because of them," he said.
"I appreciate the rights and freedoms that we have. That's probably about the most important thing," he said. "And do duties to thank the people for giving us those rights. It's really about appreciating, and I think that's how a lot of veterans feel."

I have an aloe barberae in a large planter. It is about 6 feet tall. Lately the about 2/3 of the plant's leaves are hanging down, bending near the trunk. The top 1/3 is upright and healthy. It gets about 3 hours of morning sun and that's it, at least for the summer. I have it in full sun during the winter. The trunk base does not appear to be rotting and the trunk itself is strong. The drooping leaves are still very green with a smidge of sunburn (old sunburn, nothing recent).
Is this a winter growing aloe here in PHX? Should I not water it until then? It seems so cruel ;) I watered it about once every two weeks in the spring and that's what the summer schedule was until I noticed the drooping. I haven't watered it in about 3 weeks. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just a wild ol' guess here - I bet it's pot-bound, and that could be why it's wilting. Not that you're watering it wrong, just that it might not be getting all the water you're actually giving it. My disclaimer is that I've not grown this plant and I could be completely off. But after a quick scan of the 'net, it appears to be pretty cold tender, so you'll definitely want to have it in a protected area. I imagine it's getting pretty hard to move.... |
This link should give you everything you need to know, saves me from typin a bunch too, not to mention it is 3:30am. http://davesgardin.com/community/forums/t/801726/#b Replace the "i" with an "e" in gardin and your good to go. (spam filters...) |
Thank you both. Yes, it is super heavy. It's only been in the current pot for about 4 months. It has grown a little but I suppose the roots could be growing way faster. My in-laws have the same one (I bought two) growing in full sun in their backyard and it looks great oddly enough. I'll take a look at the root system today and see what's up. |
Best of luck to you! |

Hiya Sherizona and all, How long have you been growing yours? A. barberae (aka A. bainsii by some) are notoriously difficult for hot summer areas that get any rain at all. If you've been growing it for several years, I hope you're proud. :) I grew A. dichotoma in my last garden and now have a 7 foot tall A. 'Hercules' that I bought as a 2 foot plant five years ago (A. bainsii x A. dichotoma) in my current garden. Happily it takes after its father (A. dichotoma) and loves it here. I give it ZERO water in summer. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Like most tree aloes 'Hercules' and certainly dichotoma enter heat induced semi-dormancy here and really can't utilize much water when it's super hot. Let us know what you do with your barberae, and how it works out! Take care, |

By the way, just for fun, here's a quick pic of my Aloe 'Hercules' from yesterday (with Wilson the tennis ball included to show size). Continued success with your tree aloe! Take care and happy gardening everyone! |

Geez Grant that is amazing. I'm in Tucson and have 2 A. dichotoma in pots on my front porch, they get morning sun but look kind of funny. I am brand new to caudiciforms, Aloe Trees & Yucca. They seem to be getting brown on some of the leaves. They're maybe a foot tall. My C. juttae is also struggling. Are yours in full sun? The only place that doesn't get full sun all day long is the front porch. Help...please. You're doing something right! |
- Posted by grant_in_arizona USDA Z9 Scottsdale A (My Page) on Fri, Jun 7, 13 at 18:59
Thanks, sixferrets, I'm glad you like 'Hercules'. He's even bigger this year with two heads (branches) and he even flowered this past winter too. He DOES seem pretty happy. He gets all day sun spring through late autumn, and then only half a day in winter when the sun is low. I think 'Hercules' is muuuuuuch easier to grow and keep happy than A. dichotoma--I've killed several of those quickly, LOL. He's in full hot sun right now. But he, and dichotoma always are dropping some lower leaves, so hopefully that's what's going on with yours? Any pics?? Happy gardening, and here are a couple of recent pics of 'Hercules' in the back garden. Happy gardening all! |

I just planted one of these in my yard last week. So far it looks good and it gets sun from 10 am till about 3 pm. How much should I be watering it after first planting it? He does seem to like the heat a lot and seems happy for now. I put up a canopy for a few days after planting to protect it initially. Is this ok or should I leave it in the sun during these very hot days? I live in ahwatukee |

Scubatahiti, Grant, WOW! I am speechless & trust me...that doesn't happen very often! You expect me to post pic's after seeing your plants???? Lol. I will take a couple when the sun comes up. I moved my " babies" back so that they don't get as much direct morning sun. |

Helenium hybrids
Asteraceae (Compositae)
Perennials, Flowers
HELENIUMRather coarse-looking plants, but they are valuable for profuse late summer and autumn bloom. Numerous leafy stems yield great sheaves of daisylike, typically brown-centered blossoms with yellow, orange, red, or coppery rays. In many sneezeweeds, the ray flowers are reflexed. Trim off faded blossoms to encourage long bloom. Perform best in hot-summer areas.
Can survive an occasional missed irrigation but look better with regular moisture. Give good drainage. Need little fertilizer. Taller kinds require staking and are best in the back of borders. All need division and replanting every few years.
Helenium hybridsMost types of sneezeweeds sold are hybrids—even if often sold as H. autumnale. Flowers are 2–3 in. across and come in shades of yellow, orange, red, rust, copper, and blends of these colors.
Tall types (4–5 ft. high and 2 ft. wide) include 'Baudirektor Linne', brownish red with a brown center; 'Butterpat', light yellow with a deeper yellow center; 'Mardi Gras', yellow splashed with red and orange, and a brown center; and 'Waldtraut', with coppery brown rays around a dark central disk.
Compact varieties (about 3 ft. high and 1 1/2 ft. wide) include 'Coppelia', copper orange with a brown disk; 'Crimson Beauty', dusky deep red with a brown disk; 'Moerheim Beauty', coppery red with a brown center; 'Rubinzwerg', rusty red with a yellow-and-brown center; and 'Wyndley', butter yellow with a yellow-brown central disk.

The equilibrium magnitude of mispricing can be no greater than the cost of arbitraging it away. Yet, mispricing typically arises when the uncertainty about a firm is high, which is precisely when the stock's liquidity is low.
In this study, Professor Kimberly Elsbach and co-authors Jeffrey W. Sherman, UC Davis Professor of Psychology, and Dan M. Cable from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill examine how passive 'face time' (i.e. the amount of time one is passively observed, without interaction) affects how one is perceived at work.
In this chapter of Accounting in Networks (Routledge, 2010), Professor Shannon W. Anderson and co-author Henri C. Dekker from the University Amsterdam review the use of Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) in the study of interfirm relationships. Anderson and Dekker focus on accounting and non-accounting studies to assess how TCE can further contribute to the understanding of accounting and control in interfirm settings.

Fuller Theological Seminary in California has approved an official student organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.
The decision sparked debate in the larger world of Christian colleges. Although other Christian schools have approved similar organizations, Fuller is the first evangelical seminary to do so.
The group, called OneTable, formed last fall and has attracted about three dozen students.
"Fuller is not acting in the students' best interest by sanctioning the group and should instead be teaching reorientation as the students' best option," Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, said.
Sprigg is also an ordained Baptist minister.
But the group's founder, Nick Palacios, said he's hoping that "people will see Fuller and OneTable as a model of what the body of the Church is supposed to do in this situation."
