Postmodernity and the Emerging Church
By Geoff Westlake
January / February 2015
What does the so-called "Emerging Church" really bring to the whole Church taking the whole gospel to the whole world? How do we critique it meaningfully, without overstating the good or bad within it? What can we learn from it? And can we assist its formation in effective mission?
Mission Ferment
Some say that the term "Emerging Church" (EC) refers to new kinds of church "emerging from the field," groups that have emerged from the grassroots level up instead of training from the top down. Indeed, emerging church personnel often report that they thought they were a lone voice until they suddenly met others on the same path. So it is largely true to say that the phenomena "emerged" from the interfaces between church and the changing cultures of postmodern times. In that way, the EC movement does arise from both missionary exchanges and dissatisfaction with established churches' abilities to meet those exchanges.
It is generally a good impulse to "live with the natives" and let indigenous forms of church emerge, similar to the ministry of Hudson Taylor (whom we now hail as a father of modern mission) in China.
Taylor's actions, however, scandalized the "compound" missionary model of his day, which enabled missionaries to be in proximity enough to "communicate to" the Chinese, but allowed them to retreat to their little piece of Britain each day. When Taylor "went native," the compound missionaries quickly criticized his audacity. They gave many warnings: "You will syncretize. You will not preach the gospel. You will lose your distinctiveness. You will lose the great traditions of the Church. You will not be nourished. You will become theologically lazy."
One should never dismiss a new movement out of fear of what might happen. Perhaps these opponents of Taylor were so personally invested in the compound as "the right way" that they could no longer imagine other ways.
Since Alvin Toffler's 1970 book Future Shock, we have known that Western cultures have shifted far from church culture. They are now foreign, just as Chinese culture was foreign to British compounds. This is precisely why emerging churches often do not have the "compounds" of church buildings, structures, salaries, music, services and sermons as we know them. Could it be that some emerging churches hold the seeds for a new missionary movement for our challenging day?

The Seahawks' Christmas gift: A legitimate shot at the Super Bowl
The two words unspoken in Seattle for the last seven years — since the infamy in Detroit — may now be used with reckless abandon.
Super Bowl.
Not saying the Seahawks will make it. It's just that there does not appear to be a better team in the NFC.
Besides, it's Christmas, when dreams are the theme and Seattle's sugar plum fairies just danced on the heads of the San Francisco 49ers.
After a 42-13 teardown of the nemesis Niners that was as ruthless as it was efficient, the far horizon is more than visible. It's tangible. The Seahawks clinched a berth in the playoffs by outscoring not only the No. 1 team in the NFL in scoring defense, but their past three opponents 150-30, numbers common to the Harlem Globetrotters and Washington Generals, not the NFL.
Coach Pete Carroll made no attempt to moderate his exuberance over the magnitude of the accomplishment: The win was over his hometown team (Carroll was born in San Francisco); a team run by Jim Harbaugh, the guy who once embarrassed him in a previous job by running up the score just to make him look bad. And Carroll did it on Harbaugh's 49th birthday, no less. To spoil his birthday, Christmas and at least a little bit of his season, well, Carroll was drinking glee by the barrel.
"I take a lot of pride in the fact that we played like that against this team and those coaches," he said. "The thing has been happening. It's been coming together. We're getting better, and you can just feel it and see. It's coming to life for us."
If it were possible to dismiss the 58-0 win over Arizona and the 50-17 win over Buffalo as aberrations due largely to opponent incompetence, it was not possible to apply the same skepticism Sunday night. The entire football nation, via NBC, saw a good 10-4-1 outfit, fresh off a splendid win in New England against the Patriots, torn apart by the whirlwind of rookie Russell Wilson and a team drafting closely behind him.
Of course, the Seahawks had 68,161 pals in the CenturyLink mix, all of whom seemed to have spent the day improving their impersonation of a Boeing jet engine. But the game could have been played in a hyperbaric chamber and the Seahawks would have won.
In a night as heavy with superlatives as raindrops, there was one figure that leaped out: The Seahawks converted 11 of 13 third downs against one of the game's most ferocious defenses.
"That's tough to do in the National Football League and we did it tonight," said the mega-precocious Wilson. "Our timing was perfect. The line did a tremendous job. [Receivers] are running the right routes at the right time. I'm just getting so much more comfortable back there."
"Back there" several times meant outrageous scrambles that had him 15 to 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage, only to swivel, duck and sprint away from the 49ers in homage to the best Roadrunner cartoons.
During one swerve-and-curve that included three reversals of field, he turned disaster into a six-yard gain — ironically, a yard short of a third-down conversion, the only one the Seahawks missed other than a deliberate kneel-down.
"With about five minutes left, Sidney Rice told me, 'When we get the ball back, let's just put you in there and let you scramble for five minutes,'" Wilson said. "I started laughing. The line was doing a great job giving me enough time to try to get a positive play out of it, and not make a bad decision."
Wilson rarely makes a bad decision anymore. He completed 15 of 21 passes for 171 yards, and his only interception came off a tipped pass that hit running back Robert Turbin in the hands.

Any team associated with Seattle cannot win.
Won't be allowed.
Draws attention to the highway problem.
Intentionally digging under the city hill,
through mud over the large fault line.
Will the big tube remain in place?
Will surrounding soils become water channels?
Unquestionably Yes therefore the big tube will
sink of its own weight into soft mud below and sides.
Voids. Sinkholes. Building foundations. The Underground.
What are you people thinking? Anything? Have no fear!

And by this last fearful plea of biblical proportions, I do wish you all happy holidays, dearest fearful objectors and objectionists. Misters Mike did right with little more than gut instinct, ie, the bore tunnel is horrifying, abject absurdism, misdirection by design from 'Old School' highway planners with a sorry record of extreme risks repeatedly proven mistakes, have done it again worse.

Oh please... American Football is the most warlike of sports, the least athletic, the least teamwork, the least sportsmanship, the most use of brute force, the most a Roman gladiator spectacle.
America would be better off without American football.

Generalized Plane Piezoelectric Problem: Application to Heterostructure Nanowires
H. T. Mengistu[1], A. García-Cristóbal[1]
[1]Material Science Institute, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain
The possibility to dispose of two-dimensional (2D) approaches to problems originally posed in a three-dimensional (3D) geometry is always desirable since it reduces significantly the computing resources needed for numerical studies. In this work we report on a new 2D approach called Generalized Plane Piezoelectric (GPP) problem [1] and apply it to the calculation of the strain and electric fields ...
FEM Simulations on the Effect of the Thermal-induced Surface Stress on Ultrathin Resonators
V. Pini, J. J. Ruz Martinez, E. Gil, M. Calleja, and J. Tamayo
Instituto de Microelectrónica de Madri
Madrid, Spain
The detection back-action phenomenon has received little attention in physical, chemical, and biological sensors based on nanomechanical systems. We show that this effect is very significant in ultrathin bimetallic cantilevers, in which the laser beam that probes the picometer scale vibration largely modifies the resonant frequencies of the system. The light back-action effect is nonlinear, ...

Implementation of a Viscoelastic Material Model to Simulate Relaxation in Glass Transition
Z. Zheng[1], R. Zhang[1]
[1]Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY, USA
Introduction: Glass relaxation occurs in a range of temperature during transition from equilibrium to super-cooled liquid. Viscoelastic material model can be applied to simulate glass behavior during the glass transition regime and to predict the glass deformation and stress evolution. Viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when ...

Energy Pile Simulation – an Application of THM-Modeling
E. Holzbecher[1]
[1]Georg-August University, Göttingen, Germany
Energy piles, i.e. heat exchangers located within the foundation piles of buildings, are used for heating of cooling purposes. Although the absolute values of deformations and temperature gradients are low or moderate, the entire setting can be influenced by thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling. The fluctuating thermal regime may affect the deformation of pile and surrounding ground as effect of ...
Simulations of Micropumps Based on Tilted Flexible Structures
M. J. Hancock[1], N. H. Elabbasi[1], M. C. Demirel[2]
[1]Veryst Engineering, LLC., Needham, MA, USA
[2]Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA
Pumping liquids at small scales is challenging because of the principle of reversibility: in a viscous regime, the flow streamlines through a fixed geometry are the same regardless of flow direction. Recently we developed a class of microfluidic pump designs based on tilted flexible structures that combines the concepts of cilia (flexible elastic elements) and rectifiers (e.g., Tesla pump). We ...

[1]Engineering Design, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany
To reduce friction in lubricated tribological contacts, the surfaces of the contacting bodies can be microstructured to improve lubricating conditions. For lower loaded contacts this approach has already reached industrial applications, e.g. the piston-liner contact. For higher loaded contacts the effects are currently in basic research. Elastic deformation in the contact area plays an important ...

The obvious problem with this is that it makes the git server a single point of failure - if it is compromised the hooks will not help. Hooks should nevertheless be there to eliminate mistakes. Note that in no way are any of these git flaws any worse than the status quo. I just want to avoid any false sense of security. I think these are flaws that are worth fixing, and I think that was why many have labored to get the signing enabled in git in the first place. My suggestion is to keep working on this, but it shouldn't be considered a blocker for adoption, since these are not new security flaws, and if anything despite its holes git is an improvement. Rich

Although Kiana Davis is only a sophomore, the Hickory Ridge forward knew at the beginning of the season that she would have to contribute for her young team to succeed.
After the Ragin' Bulls lost Monique Robson and Taheera Darnley to graduation from last year's squad, Davis was expected to fill in."In the beginning it was really hard, because I think me and my coaching staff wanted her to act like a senior in a sophomore's body," said Hickory Ridge coach Jessica Kulp. "We wanted her to finish and perform and do all these things, but in the end we just needed to let her feel it out."Davis said it took some time to get adjusted to her larger role for the Bulls, but around winter break everything began to click.Scoring a then-career-high 24 points against Queen's Grant during the Hardwood Classic at Bojangles' Coliseum in Charlotte, got Davis going."That made me realize that if I could do that one time, I could do it again," said Davis.Her newfound confidence was key in the Bulls' turning around a season they had started 1-5 - including a season-opening 52-point loss to Carson - going into South Piedmont Conference play."That was a huge turning point for her as a player and for the team as a whole," said Kulp.Davis has grown into the second-leading scorer for the Ragin' Bulls, behind returning all-conference senior Jordan Strode. Davis set a new career high when she had a 28-point game against Concord in early January. She has averaged a double-double, averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds per game this season."She's really grown a lot since last year," said Kulp. "She's really come into her own, giving Jordan an outlet, being a threat on the offensive end, (and) especially rebounding wise."Although at 5-7 Davis is undersized for her power forward role, the 15-year-old not only leads her team but also is one of the top rebounders in the conference."That's her bread and butter," said Kulp. "She knows that's how she's going to score."The coach said Davis gets most of her points on put-backs, making easy layups after grabbing offensive rebounds on the low block.Defensively, Kulp said Davis is aggressive when guarding on the ball and also has the ability to get steals and drive it the entire length of the court for a layup.Even though Davis has more than doubled the 4.8 points per game average she had as a bench player last season, she admitted she still has work to do. Especially important are keeping her intensity on both ends of the court and improving her shooting, and she knows she may have to switch to more of a guard role after this year's senior class departs.Davis credits some of her improvement to help from her older brother, Davidson Day starting point guard Rashun Davis, who often goes to the gym with her to work on her basketball skills."He's been helping me out a lot. ... He's taught me to have confidence in my shot," she said, "and with free throws. I was horrible at free throws."Kulp has noticed Rashun's increased involvement in Kiana's game."He sees a lot of potential in her," said Kulp. "I think he really wants to see her succeed."After the Ragin' Bulls' tough start, the team has surprised many in the conference. With a 15-8 record, including a 12-1 conference mark, Hickory Ridge played Jay M. Robinson last Friday for the conference regular-season championship.Kulp credits a renewed focus on defense and on playing to the team's strengths - at an up-tempo pace and allowing Strode to handle the ball and find open teammates like Davis for easy shots - for its improvement.Although Hickory Ridge has high aspirations in the SPC tournament and 3A playoffs, Kulp sees a bright future ahead with Davis, fellow sophomore Tia Evans and a few freshmen who have contributed this season and have a couple of years left on the team.Kulp said the experience gained this season - both the highs and the lows - should help in the future."That will be invaluable to them," she said. "They know what they have to do to win and what it feels like not to be in that position."But for now, the focus is still on the last few weeks of the season and sending off Strode and fellow seniors Jenna Cachine and Shaun Copeland on a good note."We're hoping we can take the journey as far as it can go," said Kulp. "I don't think there's anything they think they can't do. We've beaten teams that everyone said there's no way we could ever beat: the J.M.'s (Robinson), the Concords."Davis said she's confident in the Ragin' Bulls."I have faith on my coach. I have faith in us," said Davis. "We're going to do good."Tovar: 704-358-5941Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012

Choosing names from other cultures?
What are your thoughts on choosing names from outside of your ethnic, linguistic or religious group?
Would you choose to do it?
For parents who have done it, have you received any negative responses?
Would you consider borrowing names from some cultures to be more acceptable than borrowing from others? If so, why?
March 30th, 2013 07:00 PM #3
I grew up in a very international environment (as did my SO), so choosing names from different cultures feels like a reasonable option.
I do think it helps to a name from a culture you have a strong association with. It could be family heritage or that you studied abroad in that country. For example: it might be weird for me as a German-American whose never been to Japan and have no link to the country for me to choose a name like Yuki (f meaning "happiness" or "snow").
However, I think that's a very personal decision and that what your "name loves" are are more important than anything else....if my husbands has no vote, then....
Endora & Lorelei / Dexter & Gideon

I think it's ok.
We chose Allegra for Willow's name, but neither of us is Italian, or has ties to Italy. We loved it, and the meaning, so we used it.
We used Veda, even though neither of us is Indian, or Hindu. We talked about if we should/could use a religious name, from a religion we aren't a part of, and I think we did so knowing as much as we could about it.
And Veda's middle name, Juliette, we used instead of Juliet, because that's the spelling I prefer. Although, I do speak french, and love french names, so this was no big deal, really.
I think it would be a very narrow name pool that any of us could draw names from if we had to choose them from only our heritage/religious background.

I do agree with this. I mean, would I choose Cohen? Never, because I know that it is offensive to Jewish people. With Veda, the most we've gotten is, "how did you come up with that?" It seems that sometimes they expect me to say that we heard it in My Girl. Or maybe that's just the impression that I get because I had several people ask if we got Willow from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, when we've never watched it.
I would use Solomon, but not Shlomo. I would use Keeva, but not Caoimhe. I think it comes down to what you're comfortable with, and how much you like the name.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, July 19, 2013
Secretary of State Husted Awards $16,000 to the Village of Cuyahoga Heights for Permanent Polling Place Improvements Enhancements ensure polling locations comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Pictured above is the finished ramp project at the Cuyahoga Heights Village Hall.
COLUMBUS – As part of an ongoing effort to support county boards of elections in improving permanent polling locations, Secretary of State Jon Husted today announced that $16,000 was awarded to the Village of Cuyahoga Heights for improvements at a polling location. The funds were used to repair a ramp that had settled and cracked, as well as fix handrails that did not meet Americans With Disability Act requirements. A new drain was also installed to ensure proper drainage.
"Polling places should be accessible to all Ohioans, regardless of physical limitations," Secretary Husted said. "By providing funding for these projects we not only improve accessibility for Election Day, but also year round, which is a tremendous benefit to the local community."
Communities across the state have the opportunity to apply for permanent improvement grants throughout the year for polling place enhancements. Since Secretary Husted has taken office he has awarded nearly $190,000 for 64 permanent improvements statewide. Funding for these grants are authorized by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and are administered through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

"In looking for something that best suits the idea that I had for a 2 year old. This was it. I only wish there was a little glitter on the cup or the bear. I used all of the same colors but played around with the fonts a bit to make it a bit more fun. I loved this!"
"I loved the way I could customize the border, my card looked like a cookie :) Great weight of the paper, I was scared it'd be to thin, but it's perfect! The people I've heard so far think it's a beautiful and original card :) I think this is our new card-site :)"
"I wanted a card for my 8 yr old's farm birthday that wasn't too juvenile looking. Stumbled upon tiny prints and found the PERFECT invite! I love how they have recommended fonts as the default or you can play with it to create your own unique look. It was so easy to just fill in the party info and have a customized invite in minutes! The invites came in the mail so quick and they are great quality. I have gotten so many compliments from the people we invited. I will definitely use this site again and highly recommend to anyone in need of the products offered!"
"I believe these were baby shower invites, but I used them for a 4th birthday party invite for my daughter and they turned out so cute! My daughter loved them and we got lots of compliments from our guests. The paper quality was great, as usual from Tiny Prints. We customized with a picture of my daughter on the back and a little poem about daughters."
"We are doing an owl theme, with the colors pink and green, for my daughter's birthday...So this invite was perfect! The personalization choices were key in choosing this invite as well. I used white font for the headline and my daughter's name. Paper and print quality were excellent. I ordered the rectangle/standard envelopes (free)that would fit square cards to save on postage. The invites we're shipped on time and arrived a few days earlier than scheduled. Very happy with this purchase!"

Embrace Chaos
Announcing Black Crusade, a Warhammer 40,000 Roleplaying Game |
Black Crusade | Published 25 February 2011 |
In its hubris, Mankind claims dominion over the galaxy. However, their realm is naught but a few flickering candles in a vast and hungry darkness.
– A Treatise on the End of the Imperium, denounced and burned in 800.M41
It is the 41st millennium, a future in which the vast Imperium of Man stretches light-years across the galaxy. The wildly popular Warhammer 40,000 universe is one of constant strife; for untold billions, merely to be born is to be condemned to a lifetime of cruel suffering under an unforgiving and draconian regime. Only a select few in positions of power possess limited freedom: the Inquisitors who hunt heretics, the Rogue Traders who gather wealth, and the Deathwatch Space Marines who combat the alien threat. Science and technology offer little promise of relief; too much has been lost since the Dark Age of Technology, and all that is left goes to fuel the Imperium's mighty war machine. It is a universe of grim darkness.
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Black Crusade, the fourth standalone RPG in our popular Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay line! This remarkable experience offers players a new perspective on the conflict between the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos by delivering the unprecedented opportunity to play as a Disciple of the Dark Gods, whether as a Chaos Space Marine or a human Servant of Chaos.
Submit to your new masters
The intoxicating lure of Chaos leads untold millions down the path of corruption, and the noblest of intentions offers little protection against its dark influence. A soldier's bloodlust, a politician's ambition, a lover's desire, and even a mother's whispered prayer over her feverish child – they are all the playthings of the Dark Gods. Why resist? Wealth, power, and happiness await those who serve the Ruinous Powers, and the only price is your humanity.
Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and Deathwatch each portray loyalty to the Imperium from multiple perspectives. Throughout them all, however, one common factor is Chaos: the ubiquitous antagonist responsible for much of what defines this immersive setting. But with Black Crusade, players can examine this exciting universe through an entirely new lens. Who are the characters, and what set them on the path of corruption? Are they willingly in league with the enemies of humanity, or are they merely the deluded slaves of forces far beyond their comprehension?
With countless creative and engaging opportunities, Black Crusade delivers an exciting new roleplaying experience. The days of the Imperium of Man are coming to an end, and the corpse-god will soon fall. Head to the Black Crusade website to learn more, and this summer, prepare to embrace Chaos!
Black Crusade is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting in the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Disciples of the Dark Gods, working against the rule of the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man and in pursuit of personal glory.
I like the fact that each game has it's own rulebook. I don't mind buying all of them, because I love them, and if I decide to run a game, I know which book to tell the group to get. No need to give them a shopping list. This makes Papa Nurgle very happy!
When will they release an Eldar based RPG! Don't know about you all, but i want to play a Warp spider Exarch!
Captainsubatai. I believe what most of us are trying to say, is we would rather have 1 chaos sourcebook that supports all three systems. It would simply have to have entries that detail how it works with the different settings, which wouldnt take up so much space as you wouldnt me repeating 100+ pages of rules, gear and so forth.
Still, very interested in seeing how it turns out.
Oh, and FFG, stop telling us these things so far in advance. Tell me a few weeks before it is out.
I really like the idea of adding Chaos to the mix of choices of what to play.
I actually agree that FFG should have taken a different approach at the start and had a Generic WH40K core rule book and a DH Source book combination, which would then have meant that each line could concentrate of source books and not worry about retreading the corebooks. This would definately have made cross compatability much easier.
Its too late to do that now though. (And too early to think about a 2nd ed where they might do that.)
The suggestion that this approach would have meant less money for FFG is nonesense. You would still get all the same source books for each product line. In fact I personally would be more inclined (Having only bothered with DH so far) to buy into the other product lines if it wasn't a case of buying a massive core rule book retread for each line.
Anyhow, despite only having bothered with DH so far, I am very tempted by BC, and look forward to early reviews.
"Death to the false Emperor!!!"
Very interesting!!
i am ready to embrace chaos, have been for years! going to give that chaos a huge man hug! oh yeah!
I am very much looking forward to this, and can't wait to get my hands on a brand new Chaos-oriented corebook rather then 3 separate supplements for the other systems, which would cost a lot more and involve more copypaste. And as for the nonsense of having a single core system book and then DH/RT/DW/BC being add on splats for that, whilst it may appeal to ideological puritans of game design, I'll be damned if I'm buying a second edition of any of these games this early...
Since the rules are pretty much universal anyway, it's not so much a new core rulebook as a stand alone rules supplement. If someone wants to play an all-Chaos campaign, this book will allow them to without having to buy DH or RT or DW.
And if someone wants to incorporate Chaos into their existing campaigns, this book will allow them to.
In my opinion it is a win-win situation. It gives the players the ultimate in flexibility while allowing the designers to concentrate on one facet of the WH40K universe.
I like the concepts of this idea, but im not looking forward to buying a whole new core book! when I pretty much own 3. for the core engine of the game are all similar across this really incredible rpg, I think this idea stems from The Radical's Handbook, I rather just get some more material along them lines not a whole new line that i am going to buy, because i could just forecast them stemming off of the Xeno flav in that book into another line solely based on that cool idea. i think personally in DH a lot of fluff repeated across a few books, am i the only one who thinks so?
In my own personal fandom I was totally holding my dice back that ffg & GW would do A Necromunda line, Even tho you can do it now easily with what is all avail now and just some smooth GMing, but like to have it fully flesh out and ample fluff would keep my dice rolling!
+1 to the belief that further standalone 40k RPGs is a mistake. Give us universal supplements. I want "chaos" options for Dark Heresy + Ascensions, Rogue Trader AND Deathwatch... but i don't want more power creep and tweaked rules and abitrary changes.
True but I suspect the spelling has more to do with it "being awesome" than any kind of literary reference to Greek mythology. Like spelling Magic with a "K" or witch with a "Y", different for its own sake.
Cancel everything I'm doing for the rest of my life.

Everyone smiles in the same language.

Follow-Up Postings:
Yes that seems to be in a universal language. Good one. |
I think I've heard that it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown. Wonder how many fewer wrinkles we'd have if we smiled more, instead of frowned? :>) |
Nice quote, I am glad you took a few, a quoteless day would be missed by many |

I'm smiling at all the smiles posted today. |
How did I miss this one? Yes; it is so true; a smile IS universal. When I sold cars, if the customer were a foreigner, there was a LOT more smiling on both sides as we tried to decipher what the other was saying. Thanks, West! |
"If you smile at me I will understand, cause every body every where smiles in the same language." Is from "Wooden Ships" by Crosby ,Stills And Nash although it is likely older than that. Like this quote a lot. |

That little thing called cash burn
Ford Motor Co, which could be referred to as the Big One after GM and Chrysler's fall from grace, has investors cheering after it posted a $2.26 billion profit in the second quarter and a smaller than expected operating loss. But it's still burning through lots of cash. Sure it's less than before, but $1 billion in a quarter still isn't anything to sneeze at, especially since it's been trying to turn itself around since 2005.
From the release:
Automotive operating-related cash flow was $4.7 billion negative during the first half; on track with Ford's plan.
What would things have looked like without a plan?
Here are all the details. Conference call with execs is at 9am and you can listen in here.

Hi all, I'm new to Northern Utah. We moved here in december. We were from San Diego where the growing season is year round. Since I am not in a permanent place I am growing in containers this year. So far I have 3 tomato plants and some lettuce/spinach starts going. I also have a bush cucumber plant started and some mammoth sunflowers. It's all trial for me as I have not grown in this climate before. What are you guys growing this year? I am curious to see what variety is grown here in Utah. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tomatoes peppers and onions are always staples for our salsa. Beans and vine crops (pumpkin, watermelon, cantalope, squash) do well during the heat of the summer. About august I will plant the cool weather crop for fall = broccoli, cabbage, peas, lettuce, etc. |
Tomatoes, sweet peas, parsley. Just starting the green onions, as I'm told they are vigorous to the point of taking over here. Mint and lemon balm came up from last year. Sunflowers getting huge. Only my second year gardening at all, ever. But I have a friend with a market garden farm going for her Master Gardener certification, I've been picking her brains. |
Hi, I am growing sweet peppers, jalapeno peppers, Hungarian wax peppers and anahime peppers, potatoes, corn, cantelope, watermelon, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes mini and large, bush beans, radishes, and slice and pickle cucumbers. All are doing well right now. |
I had an incredibly productive garden this year with 12 different varieties of tomatoes, probably 20 varieties of peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, melons, beets, potatoes, kale, and herbs. There has been a real learning curve with mountain gardening! Every year I learn a little bit more. |
I made a big list (mostly for myself so I can remember next year) but seems like I could share it here :) I like to try all sorts of things. Some I know about, some I don't. I put the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: What I am planting this year in my garden.
I'm doing a landscape project at my sister's house this year - it's new construction, so there is absolutely nothing in the yard except weed grasses, a few apple trees lining the road, a lone peony and tiny iris clump - left-overs/survivors from before the construction began. I'm in Sevier county, so had to bring in all of my starts that had been hardening off outside for the past week or so due to the hard freeze last week and forecast hard freeze tonight (GRRR!). What I've got going so far: She's hoping for a chamomile/creeping thyme lawn, and I as a home brewer, I'm hoping to plant some hops vines as well. I've got a ton of other seeds to consider. She's not much of a gardener, so I'm thinking easy, obnoxious even, plants: And the list goes on :) |

Hi all. Glad to see the Utah forum getting a bit of traffic. I'll have to check back more often. @GardenLax, I Like your list with pictures. Looks great. @abq_bob, I know nothing about ornamental plants or landscaping, just vegetables. But I am trying herbs this year and have a few that are also on your list. I am in PG and i have these Growing in my garden: Carrots I inconsistently post pictures of my garden at jonathanpassey.com |
Here is a link that might be useful: jonathanpassey.com
Thanks for sharing everyone. Last year my tomatoes did pretty good but I only got one Cucumber from my plant. This year In containers I have: Everything was from the nursery nearby except the Mammoth Sunflowers were from seed. I have the cucumber in the same container as the sunflowers with the idea that the cucumber will climb up the stalks of the sunflowers. We shall see how that goes. The tomatillo is new to me, I thought I would try it this year. Although I have read that I might need another one so that they can pollinate each other. So far lots of flowers but I don't see any fruits. :( |
New year, much of the same stuff as last. Tomatoes and peas, Anaheims and jalepeños. Getting a few tiny strawberries. The spinach and lettuce are infested with leaf miners. Green onions, leeks, lemon balm and mint, lavender and thyme came back. And sunflowers, masses of sunflowers. Too much, but nothing else was growing over there, and even they have a lot of leaves chewed up, so we wait and see. Tried California poppy seeds, but none have appeared. |

Michigan coach Brady Hoke, ND coach Brian Kelly not on same page
By LaMOND POPE 713-2691 or email@example.com September 2, 2013 9:12PM
Michigan v Notre Dame
Updated: October 4, 2013 6:27AM
The X's and O's can wait.
For now, the buildup for Saturday's Notre Dame-Michigan clash has centered on history.
The verbal volleying pertaining to the significance of the series continued Monday.
"It is (a historic rivalry) for us," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said during his weekly news conference. "Everybody looks at things differently."
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly downplayed the series during his weekly teleconference Sunday, saying he hadn't "seen it as one of those historical, traditional Notre Dame rivalries."
"I've seen it just as one of those great football games that Notre Dame has played," Kelly said.
The matchup takes a break after the 2014 season.
"ESPN GameDay has been here six times for this football game. That's pretty significant if they're coming to this campus or to the campus in South Bend. So, it must have some sort of national appeal," Hoke said.
"Coaching in a lot of places, and maybe it's just me, but I know that whenever Michigan and Notre Dame was on TV, I was going to be watching it. I know people in Corvallis, Ore., were going to be watching it — for one reason or another."
Kicking concerns: Notre Dame will use the early portion of this week to evaluate its kicking game after the Irish went 0-for-2 on field goals Saturday against Temple.
"On the field goal attempt by Nick (Tausch), just a bad kick," Kelly said of a 39-yard miss. "Was thick and heavy on it and just a bad ball. Kyle (Brindza), clean kick, he just pulled it. It was a (44-yard) kick, he struck it well, just pulled it.
"We're going to live with a miss here and there. We can't have a technically bad kick, which we had with Nick. We'll make a decision on where we go with that. Nick has good mechanics, generally, he didn't have on that kick."
Rees honored: Quarterback Tommy Rees was named the FBS Independent Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. He went 16-of23 with three touchdowns and a career-high 346 passing yards against Temple.
