Family Life is well into its Christmas programming for 2008. We've added a number of songs from Christmas albums that released this year including BarlowGirl, Travis Cottrell, Casting Crowns, Sixpence None The Richer, Faith Hill, Mandisa and Point of Grace.
What's your take on the new songs? Some are the artist's versions of standards, some are new originals. Do they stack up compared to your favorite Christmas songs? Do you prefer hearing the traditional carols done by your favorite artists or do you enjoy original new songs? Or some of both? What do you think makes a good Christmas song? I'd be curious to know your thoughts.
Also, have you listened to our 100% streaming Christmas audio feed? The reaction from listeners has been overwhelmingly positive. If we offered other similar feeds with minimal interruption in different music formats, would you listen?
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
Dear Cecil,
I really enjoy the original new songs. The older favorites are ok, but you hear them all the time everywhere you go during the Christmas season. I really have enjoyed the newer songs that you guys have been playing. There was one song in particular that I really enjoyed, but I don't know the title or the artist who sang it. It was a song sung from the viewpoint of Mary, she was asking the Lord to send angel's to Joseph to tell him about the baby that she would have so that he wouldn't leave her. If you know the song I'm refering to and could tell me the title and artist I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your ministry!
I have appreciated the music lineup for Christmas music. I like a mix of "old" and "new". I like the old songs with the artists style of arrangment. For Example: Oh, Holy Night by David Phelps.I like the song by Casting Crowns called "While You Were Sleeping".
Although there is nothing necessarily "wrong" with it, but I prefer not to hear the Santa Clausey songs. My prefernce is to hear Christ centered music.
This station makes my work day go much better with it than without it. I appreciate the work you people do.
P.S. The song Derek mentioned, I heard that one too and I also would like that information if possible.
I do like the older Christmas music from Bing and Burl and Kenny Rogers as long as it is occasional. I do not like the Rudolph and Santa music, it makes "our" station like all the others, instead of the Lords. When I heard Neil Diamond I was disturbed in my spirit. The new songs from the Christian artists are excellent and true to Family Life Form.
I don't mind the older Christmas songs as long as they are Christ centered instead of Santa centered. The new songs from Christian artists are great and true to Family Life's form.
I work in the public schools and was able to play the Christmas streaming all day. Many of the children commented on the music and the fact that it was playing on the radio through the computer.
I would DEFINATELY listen at other holidays and perhaps all the time if this option was available.
Thanks for all you do.
The mix this year is definitely different than the play list from years past.
As others have commented, the station has sort of 'blurred' its message by including many more 'secular' feel good songs like Jingle Bells, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Frosty the Snowman being played much more frequently.
I would prefer a better mix, especially in the morning, with less artists repeated multiple times within a couple of hours. As noted, you tend to play Denver very frequently (2 times in 1.5 hrs this AM) and underplay others such as Michael W Smith and Michael Card
I do enjoy mixing the modern versions of the carols with the traditional versions and new Christmas songs such as Mandisa's Christmas Makes Me Cry and Josh Groban's I'll be Home for Christmas, but also enjoy Big Daddy Weave and Twila's albums which don't seem to be played very much.
It would be nice to have Tim do the evening call in show one night during the week so we could call in requests for favorite Christmas Carols and songs.
So my suggestion would be to remain true to the stations mission, less 'secular/seasonal' songs, more 'the meaning of Christmas' focused songs, mix the old choral and choir 'standards' with the new Third Day, Casting Crowns, Amy Grant arrangements, add some new styles from Josh and Mandisa and don't over-repeat certain artists.
Thanks for the station and keep pointing to Jesus
Blessings and Merry Christmas
I have listened to the Christmas streaming and have enjoyed the music. I think I like a mixture of Christmas music; I like the classic songs sung by the classic singers like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, or Nat King Cole. But, I like the new singers singing the classics like Casting Crowns singing I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day. Also, I like new artists create new christmas carols like Newsong did with Christmas Shoes or Josh Groban with Thankful. I think that soon these will be classics too like White Christmas or Jingle Bells. To me, a Christmas song is the best when it is quiet and peaceful sort of like Silent Night; but I think the upbeat are good I just like the quiet and peaceful and ones that have choirs and skillful played instruments like violins, flutes, trumpets, and the like. I love the music of Josh Groban's cd. Overall, there is nothing out there in Christian Christmas music that I do not like. I think all is good when it is giving praise to God and joy and happiness to the heart of the person. Thank you for the music you play and hope that you will play a little bit more variety like I think I've heard Denver and MHO sing Little Drummer Boy twice in one day. I think there is enough Christmas songs out there for it only to be played once in a day. I do have one thing to ask; not for just Christmas music but for all year round, could you please play more Steve Green. I miss hearing his voice on the radio; he does have a new album out and I have never heard one of the songs on the cd on your radio station. Just something for you to consider. Thanks for all that you do as a radio ministry. Merry Christmas!
I really enjoyed much of the Christmas music played this year. I did not hear enough Michael Card or Ray Boltz or the Brooklyn Tab. There was too much by commercial artists about commercial entities, although SC began as a human. Groban was a great addition, the Beach Boys weren't. Please keep Christ in Christmas on Christmas. Omit those others.
Also, Please play some Christmas musis throughout the year!!
Enjoyed the mix of traditional carols, new versions of old songs and new songs. We were disappointed to hear Santa Claus songs and because of it tended to turn the radio off and not bother listening. For folks who want that kind of music, those songs are available on enough of other stations without adding them to Family Life.
I have really enjoyed your station this Christmas, all the music has been great. I am a new listener from eastern pa. We just started getting your station here. What a blessing your station has been to us and we will continue to listen. Thank you for your station. I would also listen if you made the streamimg audio feed year round. Thanks again and God bless you!! Happy New year!!
We really enjoyed the Christmas music stream on the internet. However, like some of the other comments, we prefer to have a more Christ-centered music flow and not many secular, Santa Claus songs. The old favorites from Bing and Nat King Cole are usually good, but weren't big fans of Elvis Presley on our Christianradio station. We are concerned over the shift in music that we are hearing played on FLN. I do have to agree with Josh that I would like to hear more Steve Green and GLAD. Some of the older artists are just are good, (and in my opinion better) than some of the newer ones and yet we rarely get to hear them on the radio.
Keep up the good work.
When I heard the song by Casting Crowns about the little town of Bethlehem and how perhaps we in America mirrored the same response, I felt like a lightening bolt had just gone through me.
I am one of those Christmas folk who live and breathe the message of the birth of Jesus throughout the year, and truly believe we should celebrate the Reason for the season every day of the year, so, yes, I adore all Christmas music.
You cannot get too much of it! Blending in the 'new' with the traditional and popular just makes me realize He is nearer than we think because of the way the musicians are relating Jesus' birth to everyday life. Why do I think that way? Because Casting Crowns told me last year that we in America just might be asleep when He returns to earth, the same way the people were asleep when He came the first time around.
Great stuff. Next generation lyrics and music. It would only take changing a few words to update this song in front of an audience with Jesus after He returns!

Fiona's Info...
I am good with kids and good with dogs.
"Hi , i was found by a very nice lady when i was homeless and nameless.She said i needed a special name so people would know who i am! i am just a baby and i need luv ,food and a chew toy to keep me happy. i will give you hugs and kisses if you will be my new family, Luv ,Fiona" Fiona is a precious little girl that needs a loving forever home,are you her new family?
Other Pets at Luv of Dogz Fund Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fiona, a Scottsdale Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Audubon View
Audubon's President discusses the lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy.
Just five years ago we thought the impacts of climate disruption were something our kids would have to worry about. But the victims of Superstorm Sandy and last year's catastrophic drought--the worst since the dust bowl--would beg to differ.
Arctic ice has melted faster than we expected, and there have been an unprecedented number of weather-related disasters in the past year.
But it will take an unnatural act to minimize the harm we've unleashed. We need to commit to changes that won't produce results in most of our lifetimes, something foreign to a culture that lives paycheck to paycheck. The idea of ensuring that unborn generations avoid Sandy-like "annual 100-year floods" is both selfless and compassionate, and it's something I believe we're capable of doing.
In Sandy's wake, it's time to be direct: The science is rock solid, and most climate disruption is directly linked to the amount of greenhouse gases we're dumping into the atmosphere. But Americans who want to see action on climate disruption face some formidable foes. One is that parts of America see climate care as anti-growth, anti-liberty, and, frankly, a Democratic value. We believe that's a divisive, cynical, and self-serving approach. The reason we started the unprecedented campaign called "Because Conservation Doesn't Have a Party" is that we are convinced Americans really do believe conservation is common ground. More than 100,000 of you signed on during the election season to tell politicians that they're fed up with conservation being a political football.
The other foes are the largest, most powerful lobbies on Capitol Hill: Big Oil and Big Coal. The idea that there's an "other side" to scientific fact is a testament to the power of money. I spent 27 years in journalism. When investigating why things happened, we lived by the adage "follow the money." When you follow the arguments that disagree with 99 percent of the world's climate scientists, you invariably end up with a special interest funded by oil or coal companies, a handful of earnest contrarians, and the usual conspiracy theorists who believe government is fundamentally evil.
But Americans everywhere know we need a path to a clean energy future. It's time for a real solution to greenhouse-gas emissions. Birds and people need the same things: clean air, clean water, places to live, and lots of habitat to suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Audubon has an authentic voice on the most critical issue of our time. Whether it's locating wind and solar to minimize the impact on birds or speaking up to ensure that our members' love for their kids and for birds becomes legislative or regulatory action, Audubon can and will be a forceful advocate. After working on this issue for nearly a decade, there's not an argument I haven't heard about how hard this is--but none of those arguments are as compelling as the warning signs all around us.

Sometimes little groups of person just make some placards and go to the street to demonstrate. In this case, the demonstration was combined with a street parade on a Sunday morning.

Keith Urban Gossip
Keith Urban gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Keith Urban cut his hair
But …just the back, right? From the front it's pretty much exactly the same. It just looks like he wanted to lose the party in the back. Inspiration: Anne Hathaway Or…Tegan & Sara! For some reason this reminds of the time Tom Cruise dyed his hair blonde for Interview With The Vampire. Full Story
Too much flat iron
Michael Loccisano/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
Overkill on the flat iron for Keith Urban at the CMAs, right? I've still only watched the opening monologue but his face also looked a lot like his wife's. Smoother cheeks or something? Also, did he seem a bit off? I feel like he was a bit off. Which goes against conventional wisdom. Because he's supposed to be more chill and fun to be around when she's not, right? The video and photo assumption, to me at least, seems like it's the opposite. Full Story
Nicole, Keith, and Lenny!
Rick Diamond/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Remember when Nicole Kidman dated Lenny Kravitz? For that matter, remember when Nicole Kidman dated Q-Tip?!? Right?! You totally forgot! Nicole Kidman and Q-Tip! Yes. Before Nicole found Keith Urban, she was with Q-Tip and she was with Lenny. And last night, as she accompanied Keith to the CMT Awards, they all ran into each other backstage and posed for a photo. Full Story
Taylor Swift's writing grip
Ethan Miller /Getty
Taylor Swift's new Diet Coke ad is out. I've attached it below. Feel free to complain about however it is she's annoying you this time. And her lyrics. And her fringe. Go for it. Me, I'll be over here, FIXATING ON HER WRITING GRIP. LOOK AT THAT! Is that how we do now? When do these things change? And why aren't they properly announced? Why isn't there a public statement released by the writing authorities informing us of the technique modification? Am I too old to learn it? Is it restricted to those born after 1985? How is it superior to the traditional tripod and quadropod grips? Does it increase speed? Does it increase or decrease character angle? Does it improve neatness? WHERE DO THEY TEACH IT?!? I will be preoccupied by this for the entire day. Full Story
Worst Oscar Tank Dress: Nicole Kidman
BROWN /KLAMAR /Merritt /Harrison /Djansezian /Buckner /Winter /Getty Images
As mentioned earlier in the Renee Zellweger article, there were some sparkly tank dresses happening last night. They have to be sparkly. Unless you're Jennifer Lawrence in red at 19, they have to be sparkly because a tank dress is essentially, by style standards, LAZY. Full Story
Aussie Valentine's Day in LA
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban went out for Valentine's Day in LA last night -- dinner at The Eveleigh, what my friends in LA call "the Australian place"; it's run by Aussies. I reviewed The Eveleigh last year. Click here for that article. Full Story
Slum Love + Granny Freeze in the front row
FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Jason Merritt/ Christopher Polk/ Getty
I don't care that JLO tried to fight Justin Timberlake's ego with her leg. I don't care that she couldn't resist making the moment about her leg when she was presenting an award. I actually thought "I got the memo" was funny. And besides, oh I'm sorry, I missed the part when we all started expecting JLO to show up somewhere and be humble. Full Story
Nicole, Keith, and Russell
Grey Wasp/ Blue Wasp/ Splash
I love these pictures. Nicole Kidman arrived in Sydney today with daughters Sunday and Faith. Evidently she was on the same flight as Russell Crowe as they exited the airport together, each carrying one of the girls, and if you didn't know about gossip and celebrities, you'd think they were the parents, only Keith Urban was there to meet them and, well, you can see that happy reunion below. Full Story
Best Black Dress & Men's Heels: Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
Jason Merritt/ Jeff Kravitz/ Getty
It's McQueen. It's f-cking marvelous. And few women could do it justice the way Nicole Kidman can. I love the detailing around the neck. Is it bees? Golden bees? God when she does clothing right, there really is no one else. Look at it from the back. Stunning. Not a word I use often. But she is truly stunning. Full Story
Wanting to be Blake
Wenn, Jason Kempin/Getty
I don't mean Jessica Biel... Wonk, wonk... I know. I'm sorry. I couldn't resist! It's Friday! Ok so here's Keith Urban on the carpet and on stage at the CMAs last night. He is such a smarmy cheese on the carpet. Up on stage though, without the shirt buttoned down to his man-trail, and not worrying about his hair, I can see the sex appeal, sure. Full Story
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have sex
Oh I see what you did there, Nicole Kidman. Kidman covers the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. The cover photo is terrible. This is what happens when you over-photoshop someone who's been over-Botoxed. The result is frightening. The pictures inside however are much more appealing. It's Nicole Kidman in fancy ass clothes hanging out at the monster truck track. Full Story
Granny is Sanctuary
Astrid Stawiarz/ Getty Images
Keith Urban was in North Carolina yesterday for Idol auditions where, as reported earlier, the situation was a lot less tense than it was the day before. Next stop: Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Only Keith had to quick-fly over to New York first to be with his wife. Here he is at her side at the New York Film Festival Nicole Kidman Gala Tribute last night but really just a jerkoff opportunity for The Paperboy since this happened in New York and you'd think, given her career, a lot more people would have shown up if it actually meant something but it only ended up being Lee Daniels and some of the people involved with The Paperboy and not even Zac Efron or Matthew McConaughey. Full Story
Emmy Runway to Red Carpet: Nicole Kidman in Antonio Berardi
Wenn, Frazer Harrison/ Getty
They put her in the front row in the best seat, giving her the clout of George Clooney, and then never cut away to her, even though she had her hand on Keith Urban's thigh quite often in an obvious display of "we are so together"ness. A waste. What I was saying before about the movie star-tv star hierarchy is evident here: Kidman is a movie star, and she dresses like a movie star. Full Story
Photo Assumption: Mimi vs Minaj
Please! Let it be January! And let them edit this the way we all want to see it -- f-ck the appearance of being nice and diplomatic. I mean, this is why our Mimi was asked to be a judge, right? Not because she's particularly interested in finding a new superstar but because she's only interested in us paying attention to the ONLY superstar worth mentioning: HER, of course. Full Story

Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 < |
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. |
2 I will be glad and rejoice in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Thou Most High. | 2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. |
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at Thy presence. | 3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you. |
4 For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest on the throne judging right. | 4 For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously. |
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, Thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. | 5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. |
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and Thou hast destroyed their cities; their memorial is perished with them. | 6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished. |
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever; He hath prepared His throne for judgment. | 7 The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. |
8 And He shall judge the world with righteousness; He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. | 8 He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice. |
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. | 9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. |
10 And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee. | 10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. |
11 Sing praises to the LORD who dwelleth in Zion! Declare among the people His doings. | 11 Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. |
12 When He maketh inquisition for blood, He remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the humble. | 12 For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. |
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD! Consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, | 13 O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, |

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living. | 1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!" |
2 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit? | 2 Jacob became angry with her and said, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?" |
3 Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her. | 3 Then she said, "Here is Bilhah, my maidservant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and that through her I too can build a family." |
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. | 4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her, |
5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son. | 5 and she became pregnant and bore him a son. |
6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan. | 6 Then Rachel said, "God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son." Because of this she named him Dan. |
7 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son. | 7 Rachel's servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. |
8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali. | 8 Then Rachel said, "I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won." So she named him Naphtali. |
9 When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife. | 9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her maidservant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. |
10 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son. | 10 Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son. |
11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad. | 11 Then Leah said, "What good fortune!" So she named him Gad. |
12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son. | 12 Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. |
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher. | 13 Then Leah said, "How happy I am! The women will call me happy." So she named him Asher. |
14 Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits. | 14 During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes." |
15 But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits. | 15 But she said to her, "Wasn't it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son's mandrakes too?" "Very well," Rachel said, "he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son's mandrakes." |
16 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night. | 16 So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. "You must sleep with me," she said. "I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night. |
17 And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son. | 17 God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son. |
18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar. | 18 Then Leah said, "God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband." So she named him Issachar. |
19 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son. | 19 Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. |
20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun. | 20 Then Leah said, "God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun. |
21 After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah. | 21 Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah. |
22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile. | 22 Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and opened her womb. |
23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame. | 23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, "God has taken away my disgrace." |
24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son. | 24 She named him Joseph, and said, "May the LORD add to me another son." |
25 Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country. | 25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland. |
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you. | 26 Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I've done for you." |
27 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you. | 27 But Laban said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you." |
28 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it. | 28 He added, "Name your wages, and I will pay them." |
29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care. | 29 Jacob said to him, "You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care. |
30 For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family? | 30 The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?" |
31 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me: | 31 "What shall I give you?" he asked. "Don't give me anything," Jacob replied. "But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them: |
32 Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment. | 32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages. |
33 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief. | 33 And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored, will be considered stolen." |
34 And Laban said, Let it be as you say. | 34 "Agreed," said Laban. "Let it be as you have said." |
35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons; | 35 That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons. |
36 And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock. | 36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban's flocks. |
37 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands. | 37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. |
38 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water. | 38 Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, |
39 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour. | 39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted. |
40 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock. | 40 Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban's animals. |
41 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks. | 41 Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches, |
42 But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's. | 42 but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob. |
43 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses. | 43 In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys. |

I'm getting thishttp://store.homebrewheaven.com/nect...Questions=True Basically this is whats included 1 Container of Premium Pacific NW Honey (11.5 lbs. in all!) 1 Package of Homebrew Heaven's Mead Blend (Secret Stuff Maynard) 2 Packages of Wine Yeast - 10g minimum 1 Package of Campden Tablets (a sterilizing sulphite) 1 Package of Potassium Sorbate (a stabilizer) 1 Package of 2-part Wine Finings (a clarifier) I'd like to split this, have maybe half carbonated in beer bottles and the other non carbonated in wine bottles. What would be the easiest way to do this? I did read something about if you carbonate, to not add the stabilizer, is this true? Also I want to add flavors. I was thinking Blueberry, vanilla and cinnamon. When would be good to add these? During first or second fermentation? Also, any advice on quantities for these? I have been looking around online for a while looking at info for this stuff, but its still kind of confusing, and I love these forums. So any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
Meh... it's a lowly ~10% ABV mead... All well and good IF that's what you're after. Personally, I won't go lower than 14%, which is what certain strains of yeast I use will go to (Lalvin yeast strains). With all the 'secret squirrel' BS on that recipe, I'd not go there. Also, time will help you to clear out the mead. I see no need to use any finings in it. I also don't see a need to use stabilizers IF you do it up right and give it long enough. IF you want it done fast (where it won't be it's best) then fine, go ahead. Also, TWO packets of yeast is over-kill. I use a single packet of the yeast linked to above for 5 gallon batches (and smaller too) without any issue at all. If this is your first mead, I'd go very basic. Make a traditional mead, using honey that YOU like the flavor of. Get local honey if at all possible that you would otherwise eat. I've been doing this with my batches and they come out beyond great. I've had people that have had other meads before, not enjoyed them at all, only to try mine and LOVE it. Mine is what they imagined mead would taste like. Once you have a solid mead under your belt, then start making other batches and experiment with flavor additions. Add those post fermentation though. IME, it's better to add them once the yeast is fully done than to add them at the start, or during fermentation. You'll get much better flavors this way. I would also shelf the carbonated idea for a later batch. IMO, it's not something a novice/newbee should try. Also, using hot tap water (unfiltered) is a supreme BAD idea IMO. I would use filtered/bottled water to start with. IF you really wanted to, you could warm it up on the stove some. But, you don't need to. Put the honey into a warm water bath for a while, before pouring it into the primary. Look over at the forums on the Got Mead site to get a better idea of how mead can be made with far less trouble.
hmm.ok, maybe i'll skip the kit route and look at some recipes. I'll admit I'm pretty excited to start so maybe I wanted to take on too much with my first batch
I know how you feel, but I would advise cutting your teeth before going up to your elbows in t-bones. For my first three batches, I made two traditional meads and one blackberry melomel. The traditional batches were identical except in size (one in a 5 gallon and one in a 3 gallon carboy). I did a lower OG for the melomel, but added some of the blackberries at start of fermentation. I'll never do that again. It feels like I simply tossed away all the flavor I could have gotten from those berries by doing that. The traditional batches, however came out beyond great (lesson learned there). I learned a few things from those batches, that have helped me in other batches. IMO, the KISS principle should really be followed, at least until you've done a few batches. Learn the process first, then start experimenting with different things. Right now I have three batches in process. Two of them (using 71B-1122) are done fermenting already and have been racked twice. The third batch is still going, and is in it's original vessel. All were started on 12/4/11 and 12/5/11. The one that's still going was formulated to go to 21%, the other two to 14%. I planned for them to not go to dry at that level, but leave a little sweetness behind. I won't know if they've hit the mark for some time though. I won't take a sample, even on the ones that are finished, for a few months. I want to give them time to develop more before I pull a sample. One of these used grade B maple syrup instead of honey. That one looks, and smells GREAT. I've already ordered more of the same syrup in order to make a stronger batch (using either EC-1118 or K1-V1116 yeast). I'm also planning on starting a couple more traditional mead batches soon. I'll probably make one to about 14% with D-47, then another to 18% with EC-1118 and probably another to 21% with the Eau de Vie (Wyeast liquid) yeasts. All of these yeasts will make for rather different end products. Even though I'm using the exact same batch of honey (from the 5 gallon/60# bucket I have on hand). My only 'issue' with all of these batches is having a place to keep them before they're ready for bottles... Since that won't be for several months, I'll have to find spots to keep these while they age. I prefer to bulk age since that gives you greater flexibility to correct things as needed. I would advise not rushing to bottle a batch of mead, ever. Even a ~10% batch will benefit from several months in bulk form, aging. If you have a cool basement, and you can clear away a spot for the batches, store them there during the warmer months. I plan to bottle the batches started in December, around November, or so. Since they're going to be sealed up in my keg fermenters, I really don't have any issue letting them go longer. I'm actually planning on letting them go until I have a keezer built that I can cold crash them in and then bottle from the kegs. It worked really well for the last of my initial batches (aged it on oak for a bit first). I plan to chill it down longer though, so that I get even less sediment in the bottles (there's very, very little in that batch). BTW, don't try to impose beer fermentation time frames to mead. Not going to happen. The 14% batches I made (mentioned above) were done fermenting after a month. The third batch is working on it's third month in primary. It's probably not going to be transferred until early March, IF it's done that is. It could go even longer, so that it clears better.
I just looked at the HBH link and also concluded pretty much what Golddiggie has posted. One thing I like to point out, is that when making batches, whether from kits or recipes, if you're in a location that tends to get warm, then don't use D47 yeast unless you have the kit to control the fermentation temperature, because it's known to produce fusels at ferments over 70F. Golddiggie already alluded to a good yeast to go with, as it works well in traditionals and has one of the widest temperature range tolerances, and that's K1V-1116 (Montpellier strain - and that far south in France, and it get's bloody hot at times, so it's got a good pedigree). An easy recipe to start off with, it the
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
Golddiggie, would you please make sure you post your experience with the Eau de Vie yeast? I'm interested in trying it out at some point.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the others, but I think you can look at a couple points in a different way. First of all, the "Customer Questions" section of the linked page answers some of the issues. Most importantly, you can make a fine mead with that kit. As a novice, doing a lower gravity mead can probably yield you drinkable results faster, especially if you can't control temps to minimize the creation of fuesel alcohols. Managing the fermentation well will help though...be sure to read up on staggered nutrient additions. I'd assume that the "secret stuff" is some sort of nutrient blend, but you may get better results if you understand nutrient additions and add it in a stepwise fashion over the first few days of fermentation. Regarding water, there is nothing intrinsicly wrong with tap water, assuming your water tastes good from the tap. I'm fairly assured that Kent, WA has safe water free of coliforms and other nasties. If you want to be complete though, you could call your water board and see if they use chlorine or chloramines to treat the water. If so, this brings up another way to look at the stabilizing products, specifically the Campden, as it can be used to treat water and remove chlorine and chloramines. If you find out it's just hypochlorite or chlorine that is used, you can just boil the water, or even just let it sit out in the bucket for a couple days before brewing. I do agree that you probably don't *need* the stabilizing, unless you're going to backsweeten. Also, the finings are probably not necessary, assuming you let this bulk condition and clear properly before bottling, as Golddiggie mentions. I do like that the kit is a 5 gallon batch...FWIW, as I was drinking the results, I wished I didn't waste time on the three 1 gallon batches I did when I first started... Yeast: unless you're prepared to make a starter, I'd recommend you use dry yeast to start. I also would debate that using 2 packets/10 grams of dry yeast is not overkill, but perfectly fine, and probably appropriate and better. You will get a much more appropriate pitch rate with 2 packets (I generally use 3 packets for my usual meads which tend to start around 1.110-1-130). It's pretty hard to overpitch, and you will get a much quicker, and healthier fermentation with a larger yeast mass. BTW, the "Customer Questions" mentions that they use KV-1116. You can debate what yeast is best for a traditional mead (I happen to really like the Wyeast Dry Mead strain), but that will work fine. Don't forget to look up/read up on rehydration (available on the Lalvin website).
Well thanks for all the input guys. I decided to keep it simple stupid and went for the JAOM 1 gallon recipe(Just got back from the store). At least I can get started and I can take more time to figure out what my first 5 gallon batch will be

The DTNRG Wiki is moving
The new pages are at: https://sites.google.com/site/dtnresgroup/home Updated 2013-10-24
What is DTNRG?
The Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG) is a research group chartered as part of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Members of DTNRG are concerned with how to address the architectural and protocol design principles arising from the need to provide interoperable communications with and among extreme and performance-challenged environments where continuous end-to-end connectivity cannot be assumed. Said another way, we are concerned with interconnecting highly heterogeneous networks together even if end-to-end connectivity may never be available. Examples of such environments include spacecraft, military/tactical, some forms of disaster response, underwater, and some forms of ad-hoc sensor/actuator networks. It may also include Internet connectivity in places where performance may suffer such as developing parts of the world.
DTNRG members research aspects of delay-tolerant networking in a number of ways including academic publications, technical specifications, several active mailing lists, and code (reference implementation) development. DTNRG holds semi-regular teleconferences for software developers and occasional face-to-face public meetings. The public meetings usually occur in conjunction with an IETF meeting. The current co-chairs for DTNRG are Kevin Fall (Qualcomm), Stephen Farrell (Trinity College, Dublin) and Jörg Ott (Aalto University, Helsinki). Back in 2006 Stephen wrote a book on DTN.
Several of the members of DTNRG participated in the (highly-related) DARPA Disruption Tolerant Networking program.

"This recipe was SO quick and easy to make! My husband and I both enjoyed the flavour...it satisfied our craving for Asian food without us having to go out to a restaurant. I have already made this recipe multiple times and will be making it many more. The noodle/sauce mixture keeps well in the fridge overnight--just need to sprinkle green onio..."
"Easy and delicious! I used half-and-half cream, and it was still deliciously creamy. The crumbled bacon garnish was a very nice addition."
"Good basic risotto recipe, but nothing too special (sorry!). I might try adding lemon juice/rind next time to give it a bit more flavour."
"YUM!!!! I LOVE this recipe!!! Great make-ahead recipe since it is served cold. I added one small chopped onion first (sauteed it until soft, then added leeks etc.). Broiling at the end until leeks were browned was a very nice touch. Unlike one other member's review, I found that the indicated cooking times were fine."
"Delicious!!! Fabulous combination of sweet and salty. The only change I will make next time I cook this is doubling the amount of marinade. Thanks for introducing me to my new favourite way to cook squash!"
"Yummy and simple! I added 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and left out the pepper. Substituted whipping cream with plain yogurt...I ate the first bowl without any yogurt and it still tasted yummy. Nice cold soup!"

Something Is Rotten. Just as all the action in Hamlet hinges on an injunction by the ghost of Hamlet's father, everything that happens in Something Is Rotten is set in motion by a ghost -- in this case, the ghost of a pink-striped sock that insists that three performers mount a production of the Shakespeare play. Julius, the weirdly smiling, dim-witted but steel-willed owner of the sock, bullies two friends, Harold and George, into fulfilling the command. We never really know exactly who these men are or why they're on stage. George is clearly an actor -- or at least someone who wants to act -- but Julius and Harold are stumbling amateurs. They discuss their roles and argue about how to act them, bicker, shush each other and improvise when panicked. The show is as ingenious as it is low-tech, and a lot of intensely clever and hilarious things happen. Ophelia is played by a goldfish, which makes the Queen's line "Your sister's drowned, Laertes," particularly poignant. Polonius is a Teddy Ruxpin bear and Laertes a Tonka truck. Fortunately, the requisite catharsis-providing pity and terror aren't absent from this interpretation. The shrieks of grief and rage that rend the final scene would move a statue to tears -- albeit tears of laughter. It's clear from the pace of the show, the relaxed tension of the actors, that Buntport has mastered its medium. These guys don't have to hit you over the head with their actions or try to underline the cleverness of their inventions; they know exactly what they're doing.

Splitting Infinity. Leigh Sangold is a Nobel-winning physicist who has devoted her life to the intoxicating joys of scientific discovery. Leigh's closest and oldest friend is a rabbi, Saul Lieberman. When they were in college, they almost fell in love, but there was no reconciling his down-to-earth humanism and her devotion to knowledge and abstraction. As the play opens, Leigh is celebrating her 49th birthday with Robbie, the 24-year-old post-doc with whom she's having an affair. He comes up with an idea: They should work together and use physics to disprove the existence of God. This is pretty implausible; it's hard to imagine a Nobel laureate seriously taking on a project this unscientific. Rabbi Lieberman is incensed by Leigh's activities: He knows she doesn't believe in God and feels she's desecrating everything he believes in. Although much discussion of science and philosophy ensues, the focus is more on Leigh's search for identity and her baffled, unfulfillable love for Saul. There are some good performances here, and somewhere inside playwright Jamie Pachino's thicket of words and ideas, there's a fascinating play.

We don't have any kind of sprinkler system, and it's a little bit of a stretch from the spigot on the house to the further corners of the property, so I'm thinking of incorporating a soaker hose into a raised planter bed (the kind that is built up using concrete paver-type stones).
Anyone have tips on how to do this? The idea would be leave the end of the soaker exposed somewhere, so that an extension could be attached to the spigot on the house. Not sure what the pros/cons are for burying a PVC with a permanent hose in it to connect to the house, or just running a hose along the ground. Thanks :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sprinkler system piping is very cheap. It only takes a few fittings to be able to attach a garden hose to it at either end. Aldo, there is "soaker" house made for underground irrigation that is also quite inexpensive, if that is the way you want to go. Look in the yellow pages for irrigation suplliers and talk to them. ... just go in the middle of the day when they are not busy with their wholesale customers. |

A Second Pirates Prospect Fails a Test For a Drug of Abuse
According to Baseball America, right-handed pitcher Vince Payne was suspended 50-games for failing two tests of drug abuse. The suspension was announced by the Commissioner's Office today. Payne is no longer in the organization, after being released by the Pirates a month ago. However, he was playing for the same West Virginia team as Zack Dodson, who was suspended on July 31st for 50 games for failing two tests for a substance...
Minor Moves: Pirates Release Vince Payne, Matt McSwain
Catching up on some minor league transactions. **The Pittsburgh Pirates have released right-handed pitcher Vince Payne. Payne was a 12th round pick in 2010, and spent parts of the last two years in West Virginia. He combined to put up a 7.86 ERA in 34.1 innings in those two years. **The Pirates also released Matt McSwain. McSwain had been in the organization for seven years, spending the last two in Double-A. He had a 4.88 ERA in 55.1...
Three Hit Night For Alen Hanson; Hafner Touches 94 MPH
On a night where I got to see Ryan Hafner pitch for the first time, the good news was seeing Alen Hanson play for the fourth time. In last night's game he was hit in the head with an errant pick-off throw, which caused him to leave the game. He was back in the lineup tonight, although he was at DH for the night. He did take infield practice earlier in the day so he seems to be fine after a scary looking incident. The Power ended...
Curve All-Stars Named; Alvarez Homers
Five Curve players have been named to the Eastern League /Western Division All-Star team. RHP Aaron Pribanic, LHP Jeff Locke, 2B Brock Holt, 3B Jeremy Farrell, and OF Starling Marte. Also, because the Curve won the Western Division last year, the Curve coaching staff will be coaching the division's team : manager PJ Forbes, pitching coach Wally Whitehurst, hitting coach Brandon Moore, and trainer Mike Zaino. The game will be played on Wednesday July 13th at Manchester, NH (home of the Fisher Cats).
Friday's action for the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates …. the GCL Pirates' game was postponed.
Bradenton Marauders 3, Palm Beach Cardinals 2
[ box ]
Rehabbing 3B Pedro Alvarez provided the firepower, while Brandon Cumpton earned his first win with the Marauders tonight. The plan was for Joe Beimel, also on a rehab assignment, to pitch for one inning to begin the game. Beimel retired the Cardinals in order in the top of the 1st, with two strikeouts and a fly out. He then gave way to Cumpton, who pitched 6 scoreless innings, scattering 4 hits and 2 walks. Cumpton had two runners on base in only one inning, the 3rd, when two singles and a wild pitch put both runners into scoring position. Cumpton struck out the next batter to escape the jam.
The Marauders put two runners on base in the 1st when both RF Robbie Grossman and Alvarez walked, then again put two on in the 2nd, on a single by DH Adalberto Santos and a walk to C Jairo Marquez. 2B Jarek Cunningham also singled in the 3rd, but none of those runners could make it around to score. All of the Marauders' runs came in the bottom of the 5th. Marquez led off with a double lined into center field. SS Benji Gonzalez dropped down a sacrifice bunt to move Marquez to third base. Cunningham doubled into left field, and Marquez scored easily from third. Then Alvarez blasted a 2-run homer over the left field wall to give the Marauders a 3-0 lead.
Cumpton came back out to begin the top of the 8th. He faced only two batters, though, giving up a single and a 2-run homer to bring the Cardinals within one run, 3-2. Cumpton was relieved by Duke Welker, who ended the 8th with three ground outs.
The Marauders would have liked an insurance run or two, but had only a walk by Grossman in the 7th, then a single by Cunningham and Santos reaching on catcher interference in the 8th. It turned out to not matter, as Welker pitched a scoreless 9th to seal the win and earn his second save of the season.
Curve Scoreless Again, Marauders Bomb Mets
Some Sunday action in the Pirates' minor league organization… the GCL Pirates had the day off.
Harrisburg Senators 6, Altoona Curve 0
[ box ]
The Curve were again held scoreless this afternoon. That means that in the last 5 games (44 innings), the Curve have scored just one run. Today the team was held to 3 hits, and those were the only Curve batters to reach base. The first 10 batters were retired in order. 2B Brock Holt doubled in the 4th inning, then the next 6 batters were retired. Pinch-hitter Brad Chalk singled in the 6th, and was out at second when CF Starling Marte grounded into a force out. The Curve also went down in order in the 7th and 8th innings. Marte doubled with one out in the 9th, but two fly outs left Marte still standing on second base when the game ended.
Phillip Irwin made the start for Altoona. He allowed two singles over the first two innings, but ran into difficulty in the 4th. A single began the inning, then Irwin recorded two outs. That was followed by an RBI single, a double, a 2-RBI single, and a throwing error. One more run scored on a wild pitch, to give the Senators a 4-0 lead. Irwin finished his afternoon with those 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits, no walks, with 6 strikeouts in 5 innings of work.
Bryan Morris relieved Irwin and pitched 2 scoreless innings, allowing a walk and a single in the 7th. Tim Alderson pitched the 8th, and gave up a single and a 2-run homer for the Senators' final two runs.

Coos Bay's dirty little (coal) secret
The port of Coos Bay, Ore. admits it's in talks with a company interested in developing the site into a coal terminal, but it won't say who. Critics of the shadowy project say the port is trying to avoid facing the potential health and environmental impacts.
Has the Port of Coos Bay, Oregon, been hiding something? Environmental critics say it has. The port says otherwise. Either way, the whole dispute will become largely moot this month if the port, as anticipated, tells the world which company has been talking to it about building an export terminal capable of shipping 10 million tons of coal a year from the Oregon coast.
But — as in Bellingham and Longview — the announcement won't make the controversy over coal exports go away.
The Coos Bay port has made no secret of the fact that it has been talking with someone about "Project Mainstay," the plan to export Powder River Basin coal, or that the private Jordan Cove Energy Project, which has already gotten preliminary FERC approval to import liquified natural gas through Coos Bay, now wants to export liquified natural gas instead.
The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) has already issued a permit allowing the port to dredge a 45-foot-deep channel (currently the channel is only 37 feet deep). In an appeal of the permit, environmental groups have called the proposed deepening "the single largest estuarine removal-fill project ever permitted" by DSL.
In order to move future cargo through Oregon's Coast mountain range, the port has also revived a freight railroad that was shut down in 2007. And the port has recently acknowledged talking with an — unnamed — company that wants to get federal money for the Pacific Coast's first offshore wind power project, which would be staged from Coos Bay.
Although the port has acknowledged since January that it has been talking to someone about a coal terminal, it has not revealed which company wants to ship the coal. It has signed a non-disclosure agreement with the prospective shipper. That agreement expires this month.
In the meantime, the Sierra Club and Beyond Toxics have filed requests for public records, for which the port has said it would charge them each about twenty thousand bucks. The groups seeking records have gone to court and gotten a fee waiver. The port has appealed.
Why has a public entity been so reluctant to allow public access to its records? In the first place, says port communications manager, Elise Hamner, the coal terminal "is not a project at this point, it is a concept," and "we've shared everything we know about it . . . except names."
Why charge non-profit organizations twenty grand for the records? "These are not news organizations" which often "know what they're looking for," Hamner says. The Sierra Club and Beyond Toxics have made very broad requests. "We've estimated that . . . there were 2000 to 2500 potential documents." Because some might contain confidential information, a lawyer "would have to evaluate each document. . . . In coming up with an estimate, we figured out what staff time would be, what attorney time would be . . . and we came up with a cost of about $19,000."
Hamner says that if the parties asking for the records didn't pay, the full cost would fall on the shoulders of taxpayers.
Needless to say, the Sierra Club has put a different spin on the issue. The port's "appeal demonstrates the lengths to which the Port of Coos Bay will go to keep Oregonians in the dark about its plans to open our state to millions of tons of dirty, dangerous coal," Laura Stevens, the Sierra Club's organizing representative in Portland, said in a press release. "Perhaps the Port's reluctance to reveal public information about coal exports development is because the plans will pollute Oregon's air, land, and water."
Critics see a deeper channel and a resurrected railroad as part of the port's preparation to become an energy export hub. Opponents also argue that during the permitting process the port and the state Department of State Lands have purposely — and illegally — separated channel deepening from the port development that channel deepening would make possible in the permitting process. That is part of the basis on which they have appealed the permit.

The exportation of carbon from the Pacific Northwest is a huge issue and it is not just Coos Bay and Bellingham and it is not just coal and LNG. Taken in total, the potential cumulative impacts of these action would be devastating across the face of Cascadia--from Alaska to California.

Well, if you assume that a coal port is eventually going to land somewhere on the west coast, it might as well be at a place that's already been trashed. Maybe better Coos Bay than Cherry Point.
"Why has a public entity been so reluctant to allow public access to its records?"
Major port districts are public in name only. Their main function is to facilitate private development with handouts of public tax money. They all, without exception, regard the public as an enemy to be out-maneuvered. Occasionally, public interest activists try to win election as port commissioners, and every now and then one of them may succeed. But I'm not aware of any port commission of consequence where a public interest coalition has ever been able to form a majority.
Why port commissions for so long have been allowed to fly below the radar of effective public scrutiny is one of the great mysteries of contemporary life. People who fiercely criticize every penny spent by their county and city governments will give their profligate local port district a free ride. I really don't know why.

This issue - the evils of coal exporting - deserves a thorough environmental analysis. But it does not warrant the theological dimension given it by proponents or opponents.
Posted Fri, Apr 13, 7:45 a.m.
This article is so riddled with inaccurate information it's embarrassing. Perhaps some of these environmental groups and commenter woofer, who have obviously never been to a Coos Bay Port meeting or to Coos Bay period, should find out more about the place and what is really going on here.
Perhaps there should be an investigation as to why these environmental groups have been so secretive and unaccountable to the citizens groups who have already been in the trenches fighting some of the Port of Coos Bay's destructive project proposals already for several years now? I suggest people find out more about what is really going on by visiting the recently revamped website of www.citizensagainstlng.com, along with www.mgx.com, www.bandonwca.org, www.oregonsadventurecoast.com and www.portofcoosbay.com

Regardless of other issues with Coos Bay Line, the seven railroad bridges on the lower Siuslaw river, in priority salmon habitat, have been degrading for decades and are in such bad repair that huge quantities of lead-based (85 to 98 % red lead)paint flakes and highly contaminated leachwater flow into the river from each bridge member during rain events. No agency responsible for water quality has investigated and initiated for mitigation plans. This could easily be a causative factor that has been unrecognized for being a salmon decline pressure.The new owners (the Port of Coos Bay, and public)now have a responsibility and opportunity to address this water quality nonpoint source pollution by repainting these bridges with appropriate coatings to mitigate the magnitude of the toxic contaminant impacts on salmon and species that support the salmon ecology in this highly productive fishing and fish-producing system.It is outrageous that this environmental problem has been continuing for many decades without state agencies identifying this pollution. With the line in new ownership, and stating a goal of environmental responsibility in its operation, both the port and public owners should work collaboratively to right this ecologic problem ASAP.The State Revolving Loan Fund might be a very appropriate source of initial funding for a problem quatification study to definitively show the regulatory need for action. The Loan fund could also be ued for obtaining initial funds to attract additional funding to help the Port solve this problem and help enable salmon population recovery in this watershed.

When we arrived at this charming B&B, we were told that since no one else was staying at the same time we were, our host Carla allowed us to stay in the largest room for the same price as the room we booked. The location was perfect. We were in walking distance to Il Duomo and the statue of David. We were also close to several bus stops, which would take you to Ponte Vecchio and that surrounding area. Carla recommended that we go to Frisole, which was a nice departure from the turisty areas and the views of the city at night are breathtaking. She also suggested going to Perseus Firenze Srl - Ristorante to try the Bistecca alla Florentine, which was delicious. Our last night there we asked her to prepare a meal for us, which was so wonderful. If we should return, we will come back and stay in her home again.

In Bradley County Criminal Court Monday, Aaron Dean Lawson learned how many years in prison he would face after being convicted of killing two Charleston residents in 2011.
Charles "Eddie" and Debbie Phillips were shot to death outside their home on Leatha Lane just before 9 p.m. on April 19, 2011. Eddie Phillips was 58 and Debbie Phillips was 54 at the time of their murders.
Before Judge Carroll Ross Monday, Lawson was sentenced to 51 years (life) to run concurrently, and an additional two years for a conviction of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He could be eligible for parole after serving the life sentence.
A domestic situation which continued to escalate throughout the life of the Phillips' granddaughter is what precipitated the April 2011 shooting.
Lawson was convicted by a Bradley County jury in January after a nearly weeklong trial.
Then-Assistant District Attorney General Stephen Hatchett questioned Lawson as he took the witness stand in his defense during the January trial.
Both Debbie and Eddie Phillips had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and injuries which authorities said would have incapacitated them during the shooting.
Lawson explained during questioning that Debbie Phillips was key to making decisions and had influence in visitation issues, which had been ongoing since the first month of his daughter Madison's birth in 1999.
Lawson had sought court action on numerous occasions. He was first granted supervised visitation, then eventually full, unsupervised visitation and co-parenting.
Defense attorney Randy Rogers hammered into the jury that Lawson developed mental issues over time and was diagnosed as bipolar.
Lawson testified he was upset because of an upcoming Easter weekend visitation had been changed.
Lawson then went to the Phillips' home where he confronted the couple in the backyard pool area.
Investigators pieced together forensic information and built the case that Hatchett presented to the jury, resulting in the conviction for the two counts of first-degree murder and the weapons charge.
"I believe justice was done in this case and hopefully the victim's family gets some measure of peace and closure," Hatchett said after the sentencing.
Lawson, who had already been transferred into Tennessee Department of Corrections custody, was remanded once again to its custody after sentencing.

I got seeds labled lantana 'Miss Huff' in a seed trade and started them in February. Six of my seven seedlings are blooming. The first ones started around the first of July. After I started them, I read that Lantana doesn't usually bloom the first year if started from seed, so I was pretty excited to get to see some flowers.
All six plants look exactly the same in color and form. The flowers are a mix of pink and yellow.
Has anyone ever gotten seedlings from Miss Huff to compare? I think it's supposed to be a sterile variety so that makes me wonder if it's a hybrid of some sort. Maybe it does produce a few seeds ??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not Miss Huff, which does not produce viable seeds. Nor is the color right for that cultivar. It looks more like Confetti to me, but is likely just a mix of varieties. Look up "Confetti " to compare. Lantana absolutely flowers the first year after planting. |

as a general rule.. for what its worth ... many species come true from seed.. its part of the definition of a species ... generally.. anything with the name in quotes.. such as Lantana camara 'Miss Huff' .. is not going to come true from seed ... because a specific mother and father were necessary .. to create that child ... its just not a bee thing ... obviously it is much more complicated than all that.. but simplifying it helps wrap your mind around the concept ... a quick review of the link ... shows that MHuff is Propagated vegetatively ... regardless ... though you did not get what was claimed in the trade .. it was worth the price ... free!!! .. and you succeeded wildly ... and who cares if its not MH .... ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Ken. It matters to Christie that her Lantana seedlings are NOT Miss Huff. Why? Read her post, only carefully this time. Miss Huff is very well known to be quite cold hardy, overwintering successfully in zone 7 and 'maybe' into the 6s with some protection. Christie wants to try to overwinter her lantana...in the ground. There are other cold hardy cultivars, but Miss Huff is the most commonly available. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 20, 12 at 11:04
Thanks : ) Sometimes plants that are advertised as "sterile" DO produce a few seeds so I was wondering if that was the case with Miss Huff. I know cultivars normally don't come true from seed that's why it surprised me that these are all exactly the same. I expected a little variation in color. Ideally I need to start with a good sized potted plant in the spring so it would have time to get established before winter but it's not sold locally. I would have to order it but I don't like to spend a lot of money on plants that will probably die. I don't mind risking it if they're cheap. The trader I got them from lives in zone 7 so I assume they were hardy for her. I'll try to remember to report back if they happen to make it through the winter. Not holding my breath. |

Christie, I'm in a different zone from you, but have quite a few lantana that return. It seems to take forever for them to push up new growth in the spring - way behind almost everything else. Hopefully a protective layer of mulch or leaves will help. My 'hardies' look much like yours. Miss Huff has stronger coloration. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Image of Miss Huff
Christie, sometimes those hybridized plants do produce seeds, but those seeds are not likely to be viable....meaning that the seeds will be missing some of the genetic information needed to create another plant. Sterile hybrids are quite common. It's more common, though, for hybridized plants to produce seeds that will not reproduce offspring which are identical to the parent plant. So, either way......those Miss Huff seeds were not capable of producing Miss Huff plants. Not all lantana are hybrids, which explains the satisfactory reproduction of some varieties. Lantana is sold in a variety of sizes usually, anything from 4 inch to gallon containers. I'm happy to buy mine in a small size since they grow so darned fast. I never plan on them overwintering in my zone 7a-b location and if I weren't so lazy, I'd take several cuttings in the summer to grow during the winter. Lantana roots extremely readily if cuttings are inserted into damp, well-drained potting medium. |
Does anyone know if Lantana seed stores well? Mine make tremendous numbers of seeds every year, since I'm lax in deadheading, and the ones that drop into the soil germinate and grow well. I would like to be able to gather, dry, and store for planting in the following spring. I just don't have the space to winter additional live plants. This would be much more convenient, as they flower very quickly from seed. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 23, 12 at 17:30
My seeds were two years old Denninmi so they must at least keep that long. I may have soaked or nicked them before planting. If I remember right, I planted 9 seeds and they all came up but a couple died. If I don't get busy and forget, I'll mulch at least some of mine and see if they make it through the winter. Nothing to lose. |
Those are really great pictures! You have a nice lantana even if it isn't the one you were looking for. It's better, deeper colors than the type that's naturalized all over this part of Texas. The one I see the most here has a very pale, pastel flower, same colors as yours. Rosie, you're in the range for lantana, so they will survive where you are. I'm in Houston and see them quite a bit north and west of here, in zone 8 for sure. |
Great, thanks, I have a bumper crop of seed, with the berries now turning dark indicating ripeness. I'll harvest, dry, and store for next year. |
There's no way you can keep the plant over winter? In a pot maybe? They'll get very large (2' x 3' or so) if you can, and are spectacular. Let the seeds get shiny blue black before harvesting. |
- Posted by rosiew 8 GA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 17:00
denn, you might want to experiment with letting some seed either fall to the ground or toss some where you'd like to see the plant return. |
