LPC812 MiniKit is a mini development board for NXP Cortex-M0+ microcontroller. It was designed for hobbyists as well as engineers. As a result, the simpler, the better.
The programmers have their own preferences on programming languages. Me too, personally I enjoy C, Perl and PHP because of my working experience in electronics engineering and web programming. Here I will summarize the language capabilities for hardware programming. Different programming languages are designed for specific purposes.
OpenAVL is an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location)open source project.The OpenAVL is one of my on-going open source projects. This project is written in ANSI C. The prototype board is made up of a low cost GSM M2M module (MC39i) from Siemens/Cinterion, a GPS OEM module from Leadtek and an AVR microcontroller (ATmega128L) from Atmel. It will be ported to Emcelettronica's IperSMS board, which has a PIC18 and a Telit M2M module. I will share my development experiences in these blogs.
Infrared communication is a low-cost method of wireless, point-to-point communication between two devices. Even more and more communication methods including USB, Bluetooth, and Zigbee are implemented on the microcontrollers.
Cockroaches or Blackbeetles are nasty pests living in our house, carrying germs to our food and drink. People have tried all kinds of ways to get rid of these annoying neighbors, poison, trap, even laser.
I introduced Loongson 2E/2F general purpose RISC CPU in my blog. Loongson is based upon MIPS III ISA, developed by ICT and manufactured by ST microelectronics.
Do you realize that Freescale's JM Badge board can be designed into a seismometer? The board is presented in FTF2008, distributed for free as name badge and starter kit for JM badge contest 2008.
Cortex-M1 offers highly portable microcontroller design over many FPGA devices, with reusable tools and code base. It offers compatibility and ecosystem across FPGA, ASIC/ASSP/MCU.
USB was a big challenge for developers. Since the USB development demands deep knowhow in host drivers for operation systems, device drivers in the embedded system, and application software development as well as debug between host and device.
The creation and consumption of cool gadgets has become a way of life for many designers, engineers, and billions of consumers. These gadgets, whether for music, video, Web navigation, games, or communications, keep getting ever more sophisticated, smarter and smaller.

Long-Term Policy Framework - January 2014 file size 1MB file size 1MB
Long-Term Fiscal Policy Framework - May 2012 file size 1MB
In partnership with the legislature, the Patrick-Murray Administration has achieved over $11B in savings to date, and will achieve over $30B in additional savings over the next 30 years for the state, cities, and towns, through responsible fiscal management, cost-savings and reforms
- Balanced Budgets: From FY09-FY13, during the worst of the global economic recession, the Administration implemented a balanced set of budget solutions that relied primarily on cuts and savings totaling $11.131B.
- Highest Credit Ratings in State History: Thanks to the strong fiscal management of the Patrick-Murray Administration, the Commonwealth now has the highest credit ratings in state history – AA+ from all three agencies, which has already saved taxpayers $100M in interest costs over the next 30 years. Additionally, the Commonwealth has among the largest Rainy Day Fund balance in the country.
- Long-term Fiscal Policy: The Administration developed and published a long-term fiscal policy framework to ensure budgetary decisions were informed by long-term financial forecasts and policies that support fiscal stability.
- Addressing Long-Term Liabilities: The Administration has tackled the Commonwealth's long-term liabilities and met our generational responsibility to put the state on solid fiscal footing through pension reforms that make the system sustainable and save the state and municipalities $5B over the next 30 years. We have also proposed to increase retiree health benefit contributions in order to save the state and municipalities $20B over the next 30 years.
- State Workforce Reductions: The Administration has eliminated over 6000 jobs in state government, saving approximately $1.2B from FY09-FY13. We have also asked employees to take furloughs, contribute more to their health care and negotiated unprecedented concessions from state employee unions, resulting in over $250M in savings through FY13.
- Controlling Health Care Costs: Health care cost containment initiatives – including those targeted at state employee health insurance programs - have resulted in over $1.6B in savings, with an additional $200M in savings from Municipal Health Reform.
- Reforming Transportation: The Patrick-Murray Administration has made great progress in addressing the deficiencies in the state's transportation system. Through significant steps such as consolidating agencies and modernizing employee benefits, the Commonwealth has saved over $500M to date. Transportation procurement reforms have yielded $50M in savings.
- Controlling Energy Costs: The Accelerated Energy Program will save more than $1B over 30 years.
Supportive Statements
Standard & Poor's 'AA+' Ratings
"The upgrade reflects Massachusetts' ongoing progress in improving financial, debt, and budget management practices, while at the same time implementing cost-control and reform measures associated with its long-term liabilities. The upgrade also reflects the commonwealth's commitment to its stabilization fund. Formalized policies relating to debt affordability, capital investment planning, financial planning, and enhanced funding of the stabilization fund are key improvements from a credit standpoint. Other factors supporting the 'AA+' rating, are the commonwealth's relatively strong budget performance through the recent recession, with swift action to restore balance after identifying revenue shortfalls and a focus on structural solutions to budget balance and a commitment to maintaining and more recently growing the budget stabilization fund balances, which provide flexibility to manage any budget volatility."
Moody's Investors Service Rating Aa1
"The rating and reflects the commonwealth's demonstrated willingness to cut spending and raise revenues to close budget gaps…effective management during economic downturns, with a willingness and ability to promptly identify and close gaps through use of both new revenues and spending reductions and strong reserves going into current recession due to rapid reserve replenishment following 2001-02 recession."
Fitch Ratings
"Massachusetts' 'AA+' rating reflects considerable economic resources and a record of prudent financial management. The Commonwealth has benefited from conservative budgeting and sound financial practices over time."
Deirdre Cummings, MASSPIRG
"Massachusetts has moved to the head of the class when it comes to providing the public with easy-to-use, one-stop, comprehensive and timely information about how government spends our tax dollar."
Geoffrey Beckwith, Massachusetts Municipal Association
"This is the most powerful reform law to benefit cities and towns in at least 30 years. The results of the past year demonstrate that municipal health insurance reform is a major success in every corner of Massachusetts, saving taxpayers millions of dollars and preserving essential local services."
James Stock, Harvard University
"The Commonwealth's Long Term Fiscal Policy Framework represents a significant step forward in the process of long term budgeting. The tools and methods developed in this Framework represent a careful and thoughtful implementation of state-of-the-art professional methods for long term budget forecasting that will provide periodic updates and ongoing reviews of the Commonwealth's long-term fiscal health."

Stand up paddle boarding was ranked as the most popular outdoor activity with first-time participants in 2013. That rise in popularity will likely continue to climb. When "SUP" comes to mind, most people envision a huge, buoyant board floating atop calm waters – and perhaps a mountain landscape or palm trees in the backdrop. Beyond the glassy waters of wind protected lakes, bays and inlets, lies countless other bodies of more aggressive water. Think open water, rivers, whitewater and ocean waves. Adrenaline seekers with loads of paddle boarding experience flock to more lively waters giving birth to extreme paddle boarding.
Go Skate Day 2014 at the Maple Grove Skate Plaza in Maple Grove, MN was a blast. With a solid turnout of our team skaters, close friends, and random little kids Go Skate Day just kept getting better. We're already looking forward to next year!

Recently I've noticed some pink blosoms interspersed among the red ones on my Dynamite crape myrtle. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is it a normal variation for this particular type of crape?
Totally Confused |
Follow-Up Postings:
Either it is sporting pink branches or it is grafted onto a pink one, although I am not aware of this practice being undertaken with crape myrtles. |

Kerepek House Banting terletak di Kampung Sungai Lang, tidak jauh dari pekan Banting. Jika naik kereta, kira-kira 10 minit boleh sampai. Perjalanan sangat mudah sebab papan tanda ke kampung Sungai Lang memang jelas dapat dilihat di tepi jalan utama yang menghala ke Morib. Cari Jalan Cempedak dan masuk ke lorong jalan sampai nampak bangunan KEREPEK HOUSE seperti di bawah:
Bangunan KEREPEK HOUSE di Jalan Cempedak, Kampung Sg. Lang, Banting Selangor.
Pada menjelang perayaan terutamanya Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Kerepek House Banting akan diserbu setiap minggu. Lihatlah banyaknya kasut dan selipar bersusun di luar kedai. Bangunan kedai ini dilengkapi pendingin udara kerana apabila ramai pengunjung, dalam kedai dah macam tin sardin, ramai sangat. Di dalam kedai ini terdapat 3 bahagian - bahagian kerepek, bahagian kuih muih dan biskut tradisional dan bahagian pembungkusan.
Rumah pengusaha kilang kerepek inipun tidak jauh daripada kedai tersebut, kira-kira 20 meter sahaja.
Antara jenis kerepek yang dijual ialah:
Seksyen Kerepek menjadi tumpuan pembeli.
Seksyen Kuih-Muih dan Biskut Tradisional
Ke atas | Pantai Morib | Pantai Batu Laut | Bandar Banting Selangor
BANTING, a town in the district of Kuala Langat, Selangor, has a laid-back lifestyle and offers good food, reasonably-priced shopping and has a rich history. Situated on the banks of Sungai Langat, the town, with a population of about 50,000, has many attractions and one of them is a good place to shop for textiles.
The Indah Pesona Textile godown at Wisma MDKL is popular for its low-priced baju kurung and curtains. If you love saris and Punjabi suits, go to Jalan Pekan Banting. There you will find many items from India and the biggest of the shops is called Harekrishna. After watching the beautiful sunset at Morib beach, treat your family to a hearty meal as a whole stretch of stalls selling everything from satay to sotong and ikan bakar comes alive at night. On Sundays, there is a karaoke session with a small price of RM2 per song. Historically, the beach was a landing point for the British and Indian liberation forces during World War II.
Nature lovers can go jungle-trekking in the forest reserve at Bukit Jugra. Before reaching the peak, a lighthouse stands guard to guide vessels plying the Straits of Malacca. The view from the peak is breathtaking, so don't forget to bring along a camera. Bukit Jugrah used to be called Parcelar Hill — derived from the Arabic word balasar, which means "above the head".
Visitors should not miss the prominent Kanchong Darat landmark which is the Sidek residence belonging to Datuk Sidek Abdullah Kamar, the father of the Sidek badminton brothers. The brothers' eldest sister stays there now, but visitors who wish to see the house are always welcome.
Before reaching Bukit Jugra, visitors will come across Makam Sultan Abdul Samad, the resting place of Sultan Abdul Samad Almarhum Raja Abdullah. He reigned as the Sultan of Selangor from 1857 to 1898. During his reign, Selangor saw its only civil war, which came to be known as the Klang War.
Banting town is also famous for its rojak mee and cendol. According to locals, the best rojak mee, which is pasembur and yellow noodles with five different curries, can be found at Restoran Tawaqal. The restaurant, run by a family of Indian Muslims from India, has been at Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad since 1941. Only two cendol stalls are worth mentioning here.
Both can be found along Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad — one in front of the old Lido cinema, which uses the traditional method to shave the ice, and the other in front of the KFC restaurant. Istana Bandar is historical as the fifth Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman Shah, built the royal palace in 1905.
It was the birth place of Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who died in office. The palace is open daily to the public. Admission is free. Visiting hours are from 8am to 6pm. For those who want fresh fish, Kampung Endah fishing village is the spot to visit. Fishermen can be seen unloading their catch or mending broken nets here. There is a Chinese restaurant in the area and patrons can ask the restaurant to cook the fish for you.
Another popular tourist spot is Fazz Enterprise Kerepek House located at Kanchong Darat which offers 75 different traditional crackers and kuih. It is owned by the Mahmuddin Abas family which grows its own tapioca, banana and oil palm to make the snacks. The family also owns a small shop selling furniture made from Indonesian Jati wood.
Pantai Kelanang is a new tourist spot in Banting. Unlike Morib beach, which is a hive of activity, it is quite serene here. With a white sandy beach nestled behind mangrove trees, it is a place to relax and enjoy the peace and calm. To get to this beach, take the same road to Morib beach. After Tongkah, signboards have been placed to guide visitors. Banting town has suddenly captured the attention of all Malaysians and for the first time people all over the country are talking about it.
It did not even get so much of attention even when the Sidek brothers, who come from Kampung Olak Lempit not far from Banting town, were winning honours on the national and international front during their heyday. The town is located 32km from Klang and 20km from the KL International Airport (KLIA).
The townspeople are as stunned as the rest of the nation over the brutal killing of millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya along with three others.The mood is sombre in Banting and the people were devastated, finding it difficult to believe such a ruthless crime took place in their area. Inevitably, the news of the murder and arrests had been the talking point in coffee shops, offices and schools especially over the past two days. StarMetro made a check around Banting town and found life continues to go on at a slow pace.
It resembles the usual set up of a small town which is mostly filled with double-storey shophouses. The visit also found that there were not many people out and about in the town which appeared rather quiet compared with normal days.The shops including restaurants and retail outlets were rather empty. The people seemed to have come to terms with the frequent appearance of police vehicles, journalists and photographers in town. Anthony Paul, 47, said Banting attracted a lot of attention from people all over the country. He said the news reports had also placed the town in a bad light.
A snack is a portion of food oftentimes smaller than that of a regular meal, that is generally eaten between meals. Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged and processed foods and items made from fresh ingredients at home.
Traditionally, snacks were prepared from ingredients commonly available in the home. Often leftovers, sandwiches made from cold cuts, nuts, fruit, and the like were used as snacks. The Dagwood sandwich was originally the humorous result of a cartoon character's desire for large snacks. Beverages, such as coffee, are not generally considered snacks though they may be eaten between meals like a snack, or along with snack foods. A beverage may be considered a snack if it possesses a substantive food item (e.g., strawberries, bananas, kiwis) that has been blended to create a smoothie.
Plain snacks like plain cereals, pasta and vegetables are also mildly popular, and the word snack has often been used to refer to a larger meal involving cooked or leftover items. Six-meal eating is a form of eating that interjects healthy snacks in between small meals, to stave off hunger and promote weight loss.
With the spread of convenience stores, packaged snack foods are now a significant business. Snack foods are typically designed to be portable, quick and satisfying. Processed snack foods are designed to be less perishable, more durable, and more portable than prepared foods. They often contain substantial amounts of sweeteners, preservatives, and appealing ingredients such as chocolate, peanuts, and specially-designed flavors (such as flavored potato chips). A snack eaten shortly before going to bed or during the night may be called a midnight snack.
CRACKER FOODA cracker is a baked good commonly made from grain flour dough and typically made in quantity in various hand-sized or smaller shapes. Flavorings or seasonings, such as salt, herbs, seeds, and/or cheese, may be added to the dough or sprinkled on top before baking. Crackers are a nutritious and ready to eat way to use a staple food or cereal grain that is advantageous for storage and travel. A precedent for the modern cracker can be found in nautical ship biscuits, military hardtack, and sacramental bread. Ancestors of the cracker can be found in ancient flatbreads, such as lavash, pita, matzo, and crisp bread. Asian analogues include chapati and senbei.

I can't even tell what "it" is! |
trim sticks out too far? |
Ack! Looks just like MY light rail ... but I take your point :) Good idea for a thread. Layout mistakes, fortunately not so many. In the midst of planning, some doors were converted to pull outs, so in hind sight, I would have spec'd out different door/drawer front sizes, so as to allow a minimum of space without gaps. I'd love to resize my drawer fronts to minimize the amount of cabinet fronts without drawers. You can sort of see this around the microwave. (Why on earth didn't I raise the MW so I could have a larger drawer underneath?) You will see a couple of errors in this one. Wrong grout and caulk color (replaced since then). Also, outlet should really be either centered in a tile or hidden out of sight. I may try decouppaging the outlet (had good success in kitchen) or moving the outlet UP. |
Sorry my post wasn't clear! Oldbat2be got it - there is nothing wrong with the light rail or its installation, but it isn't the right style for my kitchen and cabinets. Looks gorgeous on hers! This thread has already helped me - I do see that the caulk is too dark in her picture, and so there is one more note to self about the need to specify. And even in a kitchen that looks like perfection to everyone else, a TKO owner can imagine improvements. It is like learning that even supermodels have insecurities. Who else has a mistake to share - with a photo? Let's keep it to self-confession, there are plenty of threads which call out the shoddy workmanship of others ;) |

My biggest mistake was the cooktop I coveted and got - a Viking. I didn't like it at all. The markings on the dials wore out, but more importantly, I could never get it to simmer even after it was re-calibrated. Second was not incorporating a specific place for dish towels. I don't like them hanging on door or appliance handles, but I do like them "out" rather than under the sink. The problem was they ended up (not by me of course :-) ) on the counter. In my upcoming remodel, we'll have a filler next to the sink and the hooks for the towels will go on the filler, not in the way of anything. I saw this arrangement in an open house and liked it). (The other big "mistake" was borne out of necessity, since we were constrained by the location of a doorway that couldn't be changed. I ended up with one drawer/cabinet that was only 12" wide, and generally speaking, I find those useless for anything but 1000 pens and pencils!) |
That's same as mine and I love it. But I can see why since you went pure shaker. I did a modified shaker....more formal look, so it works in my kitchen. My cabinets are P&F...are yours? Sorry I didn't make any mistakes on my personal kitchen...fit like a glove. But as a KD for 30 years, I have made several over the years. Fortunately, nothing very costly....yet! Knock on wood!!! KOMPY |
Mine was deciding on a "typical" 4" backsplash attached to the counter. It's dated looking and doesn't even fill the entire space under the windowsill. I wouldn't have like it any better but at least it would of looked "on purpose". I also waited to pick tile for the rest of the back splash and now have painted drywall that's lumpy and bumpy. |
- Posted by heidihausfrau (My Page) on Thu, Sep 19, 13 at 12:54
My cabinets are custom made by my GC's shop. Kompy, I'm happy you have a perfect kitchen! I would love to hear from you and other pros about design mistakes, even if they aren't yours. I'll start a new thread for it! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pros, please share illustrated lessons
Well, similar to kksmama I made the mistake of not insisting on seeing a picture of the crown molding. Just didn't occur to me, after telling the cabinetmaker that I wanted something very plain and simple, like a plain cove He never offered a choice to me after our discussion. This wasn't what I had in mind: Second mistake: not buying a sample of the cabinet color and trying it out in a large swatch on all 4 walls, under the new lights, before I committed to it. I am living with it for now but expect that I will re-paint once my bankbook fattens up a little again. Too bad, because it is a beautiful paint job! 3rd mistake: not shopping for sinks before I ordered the cabinets! I could have gotten the sink base just one or two inches wider and then could have used a 30" sink instead of a 25". But, not knowing this at the time, I thought that I preferred those inches in my drawers. 4th mistake: I was focused on getting as much cabinets space as possible (having had so little for so long), but now that they are all in, I realize that I have more than enough, and I should have shrunk the wall cabinets between the old and new windows by 25%, if not 30%, and made the new window wider. |
Raee, thanks for sharing those! I was also overly concerned with maximizing storage space. In going from face frame, standard depth cabinets with all door lowers to frameless, custom, deep drawer lowers and deeper uppers, I've gained far more space than I need. And will surely make the mistake of keeping too much stuff I don't use and don't love. |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 12:33
I missed this. My cabinet guy missed this. Even all of GW missed this. My 12 inch pullout next to the hood is not very accessible. Oops! |
Leela4 and Williamsem, thank you for sharing those. Even the most beautiful, well thought out kitchens have room for improvement. My spinoff thread for pros didn't work as well as I'd hoped, so it is nice to see one stay on track. |

I took my time with my cabinet lay-out, so I'm happy with how it turned out. We tweaked it for months. What we didn't pay as much attention to was the floor. We had sheet vinyl and could have extended the oak hardwood from the hallway into the kitchen, but I didn't want cherry cabinets on a hardwood floor. We put in a porcelain tile floor, but tile requires another layer of subfloor, raising our tile above the oak hallway for the length of the U-shaped opening. We weren't told by the KD or the tiler that we'd have a threshold strip that feels like a major speed bump. It's only a fraction of an inch, but I have to step over it every time. |
- Posted by sparkier73 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 12:05
Annkh, that is a great tip about the soft close hinges for the sink tip out! I am having the same trouble with mine (two handles, opens awkwardly unless you pull on both) and will be asking my cabinet guy for new hinges pronto! |
Williamsem, can you remove the pull-out hardware, add hinges to the door and make it a regular cabinet? One of mine was also outlets..didn't push to have the ones in the backsplash horizontal and at counter-top level. Then I went 2years ABB and now that it's finally tiled they aren't all level. Fortunately I like a few things on the counter so I can hide them! |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 19:47
Cindaintx, I'd considered that, but we're a bit committed now with the handle placement, plus with only 12 inches it will be an incremental improvement as you will need to be right in front of it to see in and still need to manuver around the hood. We use it for overstock spices and lesser used oils, so it isn't an every day frustration. |
My husband moved one of our old cabinets into the laundry room over the washer and dryer. If you open two of the doors, you hit the ceiling fan. My husband hit it and now it wobbles. Peke |
I made 2 big mistakes, and, fortunately, was able to fix them. 1. Assumed a 36-inch hood is good enough for a 36-inch range. There are no upper cabs on either side of the hood. When the 36 hood was installed, I immediately knew it was too small (in width and depth). Everyone encouraged me to live with it for a while... but I called the appliance store the very next day to inquire about exchanging it. The 42 replacement cost more $$ and delayed other work by 2 weeks, but I'm so glad I made the change. Besides "looking" better, the wider hood functions more effectively. 2. More recently, I failed to request to see the difference between what the electrician called "white" and "yellow" LED lights. Given those 2 options--and with my exhaustion over this whole reno--I just said "white." Well, "white" is actually blindingly neon white/blue that lights up my cabinets like the 7-11 beverage fridge at midnight. Ugh. (BTW, if jakuvall reads this, thank you for your information/recommendation in my prior thread about lighting options for my cabs. I didn't reply to avoid bumping the thread up further, but do appreciate your input.) |
I feel so much better reading this. I'm not even finished and I find mistakes every day. I especially appreciate the info about the lights. I totally do not trust the electrician or GC on the esthetics + function of lighting. the electrician missed sink task lighting completely. He's not leaving town without putting in my sink light!! Can anyone provide the link to the lighting thread mentioned above? |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Fri, Sep 27, 13 at 0:11
They are generally on the first or second page in the Lighting forum, there are a few that are packed with info. They tend to stay near the front pages. |
My biggest regret is not giving any thought (when the walls were open) to the placement of light switches & outlets in the backsplash area. Moving them now will involve opening walls, a big mess and more money. I'm waiting to hear what the options & cost will be. |
This post was edited by romy718 on Fri, Sep 27, 13 at 0:50
romy718 - I'm curious what you find wrong with the placement or your current switches/outlets. I have a similar issue with one of my switch boxes (which houses 4 rocker switches) - it may not all be within the backsplash area - so part may be in, part may be out. |
Ellen - having never had a backsplash before, it never even crossed my mind when we did the electrical walk through. I have too many light switches (one 4 gang which is huge) within the backsplash. I may have been able to find different locations for several of them. I also would have positioned outlets horizontally & low so that they would be less visible & possibly been located within a subway tile. The esthetics of locations were not considered by either me, my KD, the GC or the electrician. I read a thread here on GW discussing all these options. Too late for me. My kitchen is done except for the backsplash install. I have asked my KD if anything can be relocated. The response was "everything was done to code and relocation will be expensive & messy." |

I did move my outlets low to the counter thanks to GW (they were already horizontal), but I didn't think about exact switch placement wrt to backsplash (and where it will end) - the contractor should have thought about this as far as I'm concerned. So I'm hoping it ends up working out when I finally get my BS installed. |
heidihausfrau - if you are still following this thread, here's an idea for your area. We created a sample board of our backsplash, then physically photocopied it in color (took it to Staples) and played with different settings to get the color right. Then, cut and pasted the 'tile' onto the outlet cover with mod podge and topped with a few more layers (of mod podge). Here is the decouppaged outlet cover: |

Brilliant! I will save this idea - my backsplash eventually ended up frosted glass subways so I painted the covers to match. |
Thanks oldbat. I clipped this post too. |
Wow, @oldbat2be. What a great job you did on your brown and white backsplash. Sensational job. |
This message is for LoPay... I received your email inquiry about my hood, but your GW settings are such that I cannot reply to your email. There is another thread in this forum about how to change that, if you're interested. If you change it, email me again, and I'll reply with photos to illustrate. I can't post the photos here in this forum at this time due to a connection issue with my phone (which I just haven't had time to research). You asked what about my former 36-inch hood didn't work with my 36-inch range. I have a chimney hood, and there are no upper cabinets on either side of it. Based on research here (in the appliances forum) and other Web sites, I learned it's preferable to choose a hood about 6 inches wider than a 36-inch cooktop if: 1. You have no upper cabinets on either side of the hood (like, in my case) Obviously, you cannot go with a wider hood if your uppers are already fixed in place and don't allow for it. Here is a link that explains this, because I'm not even touching on the CFM issue, which you'll need someone much more knowledgeable than me to explain! I have a Thermador 42-inch chimney hood, and the CFM is 600, which is sufficient for my application. Some would argue that. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/range-hoods/buying-guide.htm I didn't look at the CR recommendations for hoods, but I found its explanation about my lack of upper cabinets most helpful: "Wall chimney hoods can work where there are no cabinets and mount with exposed vent stacks on the wall. Island hoods, which also work above a peninsula, are mounted to and vented through ductwork in the ceiling. These lack a wall of cabinets alongside them to help funnel fumes, so consider one that is at least six inches wider than the cooktop. "Don't size down. This is one time when bigger often is better. Any hood you consider should be at least as wide as the cooking surface it will be installed above. And avoid downdraft hoods, which have been unimpressive in our tests. "CFM isn't everything. Manufacturer airflow claims tout cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air exhausted. More airflow does mean faster venting but doesn't guarantee better smoke capture and removal." All of this is null and void if you have fixed uppers on either side that don't allow for a wider hood. But if that's not the case, you'll want to consider a hood that's wider than your cooktop. Good luck! |

This is a great thread! Thank you all for coming out w/ your mistakes. I haven't even demo'd my kitchen yet, so I will try not to make the same ones. If I end up w/ any, I'll post them here for others to learn from. oldbat2be, what a creative idea to hide the outlets. Thanks for letting us know how you did that. I love your backsplash tile! Gorgeous! Where did you get it & what is it called? I'm also curious what paint color your cabinets are next to it. Is it a creamy color vs white? If you can tell me about the tile & cab color, I'd be very grateful. I don't mean to hijack the tread so if you want to email me personally, you can on my GW member page. Thank you, |
Thanks cindaintx, romy718, and carree! I edited my post to include what I used for the glue/protective layer (mod podge). Bicylegirl - Below is link to my reveal thread, which has all the details. (Another mistake from which we recovered - WAY too much white called out for a bold tile). |
Here is a link that might be useful: link to reveal
Thanks for taking the time to respond Peony. Didn't realize that my settings were like that. Will get that fixed. I'm planning on a custom surround, and there will be open shelves on either side of the surround that integrate with it. My cooktop is a 36" Bosch five burner, and my insert is 36". Wonder why cabinets make a difference in relation to the vent width. Choosing a hood vent is perplexing. Next challenge is lighting. |

oldbat2be, thank you for the link. What a stunning kitchen! I'm sure it's fun cooking in it everyday! I'm considering a bold tile & yours is similar to what I'm looking for. I'll ck out kj patterson. |
Another mistake was not putting everything that I wanted, specifically how I wanted it, into writing and in a drawing. With all the discussions and good ideas that I gathered here, some things that I wanted were not what the crew was in the habit of doing. The outlets are a good example. I told them that I wanted them low and horizontal, they ended up lower than their norm but still vertical. The drawing showed them as vertical so that is what they did. I wanted the UCLs placed at the front of the cabinets -- they were going to put them at the rear: "If we had known that you wanted them at the front we would have run the wires differently" Also, telling the GC something and trusting that he would tell the crew what we agreed He would forget, and they would go ahead and do what they "usually" did. |

The next game has to go back to the dark, gritty, survival horror esque style which made it stand apart from mainstream shooters like BF and COD. Oh and bring back Cliffy B....

Sanjay Puri's Triose project in Lonavla, India houses retail space, a food court, two restaurants, a large bar and an entertainment gaming area, whilst the entire frontage of the site along the main road overlooks a natural landscape.
The concrete folded skin that forms most of the building creates large open frames towards the external views and the plans of the building too open out towards these large frames accentuating the surroundings to the inner spaces.
The building is entered through a 12'0" high lobby that leads into a 24'0" open plan space housing a food court beyond which are a few retail shops. The 24'0" high volume of the food court overlooks shallow pools of the water on either side and sweeps down in the centre creating a large open frame looking outwards and opening onto a sheltered deck.
While different areas are intentionally used in different ways the spaces visually flow uninterruptedly through the building from one end to the other and across the two levels. Each of the internal spaces open outwards dramatically encapsulating the external surroundings to the interiors, creating a seamless integration.

AVO Limited Edition Cigars
AVO Limited Edition
The new AVO Limited Edition 2013 cigar, dubbed 'The Dominant 13th', is a refreshing departure from the image driven brands so prevalent in today's tobacco market. Released in celebration of Avo Uvezian's 87th birthday, this refined example of an ultra-premium cigar also honors the man's achievements as a musician. The Dominant 13th is a chord type used in jazz to introduce some character and variety into a jam, the perfect description of the cigar itself as it contains a complex mix of Dominican Piloto and San Vicente ligero plus some Olor/Piloto hybrid Visus from Peru. These are blended to create a sophisticated harmony with the Piloto binder and Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper.
The best way to enjoy the AVO Limited Edition 2013 is while sipping a gin and tonic and listening to some live jazz but if you buy one of the 13-count boxes, and there are only 9000 worldwide, you can recreate the experience at home with the included flash drive containing performances by Uvezian himself. Medium in body but full of the flavors of cafe con leche, salt-infused dark chocolate, and hazelnuts, you'll be so relaxed after smoking this cigar the only standing ovation you'll have the motivation for is to go grab another.

Claims diesel generators will
not run more under settlement
EnerNOC President David Brewster told us yesterday that a pending settlement his firm and other DR providers have with the EPA on backup generation will not lead to any added use of diesel generation. A group of DR firms filed an appeal of an earlier version of the rule that would have limited the use of emergency, backup generators in DR programs to just 15 hours/year -- thus ineligible for many programs.
Eventually EPA came out with a new proposal to let such generators run in DR programs for 100 hours/year. Under the existing rules emergency, backup diesel generators can only run for 100 hours and if they exceed that, they no longer have the "emergency" designation and have to comply with tighter standards.
The proposed settlement with DR providers will keep that 100 hour limit but will let the generators respond to emergency DR calls made by ISO/RTOs and utilities, said Brewster.
"It's a no brainer that the EPA is doing the right thing," he added, "and why I say that is these back-up generators have always been able to run for 100 hours/year for testing and maintenance purposes. And so the other side of this issue, particularly the independent power producers who have vested interests in not having as much DR in the market, would have you believe that this proposed rule is relaxing rules and is allowing these units to be run more, which is absolutely false."
EPSA led the charge against the settlement, which would align EPA rules with ISO/RTO capacity-based, emergency DR rules. Some leading environmental groups oppose the settlement, too (RT, May-25).
It's for emergencies only
The EPA proposal only deals with emergency situations. It will only apply in situations where a grid operator is trying to avoid a blackout, said Brewster. When a blackout happens, all of the backup generators in an area are running, sometimes for days, along with other safety, health and economic concerns that power outages lead to.
DR's peak season follows the broader industry's and summer is also the season where ozone levels can get too high and set off regulations where engines and generators are shut down.
"I really commend the EPA because they spent two years really digging into the data and understanding this issue," said Brewster. "And there's actually no correlation between emergency demand response and what you call 'ozone exceedance days.'" Emergency DR can be called up at any time of the year. Often the shoulder months, the spring and the fall, can be more challenging for grid operators as power plants, Brewster noted, are down for maintenance and a stray heat wave or other incident can easily lead to reliability issues.
It's not about supply stack
While many argued that the settlement is putting EPA's thumb on the scale of the energy markets in favor of DR, Brewster argued that the "supply stack" has nothing to do with the proposal. "The only time these emergency DR events are called is when there is not enough supply to meet demand and we are about to have a blackout," said Brewster.
EPA tightened the trigger for emergency DR that uses backup diesel generators so that they can only be used when NERC issues an energy emergency level two alert or when the system has a voltage cut of 5% or more.
More economic DR can use backup generation too but it would not fall under the settlement pending at EPA now. That means a customer wanting to take part in Order 745 and other measures using a generator extensively would have to meet the hazardous air pollutant standards in question, Brewster said.

Woo Hoo! Very excited - discovered buds on Hoya lobbii! Got this the summer of 2008 or 2007 and have restarted it twice and it's now about 3 feet tall! Have thought about cutting it up since it's a single stock, but am glad now that I haven't yet. It developed a peduncle probably about 2 years ago, but never even budded. This is a brand new peduncle at the top of the plant (the other peduncle is still doing NOTHING!)! Have no idea what color it will be, but am hoping for the pink/black combo! |

Hi Kelly, How exciting for you -- finger crossed! Looks kinda cool just like that. |
Oh, Kelly, I'm so exccited for you! I got my lobbii as a DL cutting this last summer. It rooted, it's awsome, it's starting to grow, but I'm a LONG way from flowers. Please post back when they open. Woo-hoo for you-hoo! Denise in Omaha |
Congrats on the buds! I just got a cutting of this one in the fall and I am hoping for the dark flowers as well. If this Hoya grows well for me I might get another colour form because I love its growth habit. Mike |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Thu, Jan 27, 11 at 18:09
Thanks! I have 3 lobbii's now - don't know the color of any of them. I, too, love the growth habit...that said...do I let this keep growing straight up after it blooms or cut it up? Measured it today and it's 44" tall and will soon outgrow the window it's in.... Here's another picture of buds...I swear they're noticably bigger than yesterday! One of the other lobbii's I have grew well last year as well and grew several peduncles which have never developed buds. Wonder why that happens? Have an australis sanae that has had a peduncle since last summer as well... Thanks for sharing in my excitement! Kelly |
This is a Hoya that likes cooler conditions so bud development migh be linked to temperature. I know all the other Hoyas with this growth habit are cool to cold growers with one even able to take frost. I am going to grow my plant on an upper shelf and allow it to hang down naturally. Your plant looks a bit like Jack's beenstock reaching for the sky and it has me a little bit worried about the space this one requires. I would think you could trim your plant at any time because this is to the best of my knoledge species that drops its peduncles and always flowers at the apex of the growth. Do you find your different Hoya lobbii plants to all look the same or are there slight differences? Mike |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Thu, Jan 27, 11 at 20:45
With the drapes closed on the window it probably gets down to about 65F. I was thinking this was a cool species. Was surprised to see on Joni's site that it recommends not letting lobbii go below 55F. This one is on the enclosed porch (brought it in for the picture) where the temps are about 57-63F and it's continued to grow and has peduncles that have yet to produce buds. Had this one outside from May until October of this past year and it probably tripled in size - still growing now on the porch! This is a cutting I got this past fall. Just took it out of the rooting tank a couple of weeks ago...I left stuff in there TOO long... I really don't see a difference in them - except maybe a slight different in leaf size. I once asked David Liddle about the different color lobbii's and he seemed to think there are only a few (maybe 2) varieties and the color is dependent on the environment. Watch all three of mine be the same color! Thinking I'm not going to have a choice but to cut lobbii up after it blooms! |
I guess intermediate grower would be a better description. Warm growers are good down to 65F, intermediate to about 55F or 50F but these are always just nighttime lows and daytime temps should to climb back up into the 70's. Is your porch only up into the mid 60's during the day? There are Hoyas that closely resemble Hoya lobbii but that are found farther East then Hoya lobbii's range. Hoya lazaroi was named by Dale Kloppenburg and Dr. Simeona Siar in 2006 and 2007. I cut and pasted the description of this species below. Hoya lazaroi named after the current Philippine Orchid Society president Mr. Carlos Valeriano C. Lazaro who is also an avid hoya and plant collector . The current poster of the Flora Filipina 2009 will feature this slow growing hoya ! So get you collectible Flora Filipina 2009 poster ! Taxonomy is a tricky business and not everyone involved always agrees so these plants will probably be sold under the name of Hoya lobbii but collection data will help ID in case you want to go with the currently proposed/published name for these Hoyas. I love the look of your hanging Hoya lobbii. Mike |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya lazaroi on the Apodagis site
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Fri, Jan 28, 11 at 8:08
Oh, I love the Apodagis site! Hmmm...should I wait until it flowers to see which it most closely resembles? Interesting that their "Black" lobbii looks NOTHING like some of the other pictures I've seen of black lobbii - where the corona is such a deep, deep purple/plum that it almost appears black. Right now with the outside temps barely getting above freezing during the day, 63F is about the warmest the porch gets unless I turn on the 2nd wall heater (weak central heating, plus 2 wall heaters on the porch. The wall heaters really blow out some air, so it feels oddly much warmer to me than the 57-63F. Thanks for the info on Hoya lazaroi! Kelly |
Kelly I really hope to see your photos of the flowers when it opens.I have been planing on getting this hoya this year. Good work on growing your hoya. Cindy |
Oops! When I read "lobbii", my brain went to "lambii"...Duh! It clicked when I saw your photo of that rambling nature of lobbii. Lobbii is one I've been growing for a couple years and it did finally bloom for me last fall. And I had one other peduncle bud up about a month ago, but the blooms never opened quite right. But here's what the blooms looked like last fall...as they opened... ...and fully opened... It's a beauty! No scent as far as I could detect though. I grow mine in a hanging pot and it really takes up a lot of space. I plan to cut mine back this spring to try to get it a little more compact, but I have a feeling it's going to be a fight to keep it that way! As for lobbii, I hope it's more of a climber or twiner, and I don't expect to get blooms anytime soon! Denise in Omaha |
Kelly, congrats! I hope your buds make it all the way! Denise, I love the color of those flowers! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Fri, Jan 28, 11 at 19:13
Denise, Those flowers are beautiful! I'd love for mine to look like that! Do you remember where you got yours? Wondering if we have the same source... If it had been my little lambii (DL order as well) I'd be even MORE beside myself! Thanks for posting the pictures! Thanks, Brad! Kelly |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Mon, Feb 7, 11 at 20:40
Hoya lobbii's buds are progressing nicely! Mike, my Mom was down this weekend and informed me she prefers the hanging basket of lobbii to the bean-stalk lobbii as well! Now that it's hanging in the kitchen as opposed to being in the jungle on the porch, it's getting noticed. As soon as the bean-stalk has bloomed I'm going to cut it up and root it! Kelly |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 8, 11 at 12:20
I really like that picture! Images of buds always make my heart flip-flop. I have to agree lobbii looks really good as a basket plant. I'm glad you shared that picture because I never would have thought of growing mine in such a way, but now that's the plan. It's a tiny little beanstalk now, so it's not too late to take out the stake. :3 |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Tue, Feb 15, 11 at 22:12
Buds are progressing, although not nearly fast enough for me! When I came home this evening there was a freakin' stink bug (those of us in the lower NE states know these guys TOO well) on the buds and sap at near the nodes.... |
Kelly, I actually got one in a trade with Shannon (is she still around? Seems like a long time since I've seen a post from her) That one came to me as the "orange" form. Then, the same year (2009), I bought one from CBFM, the one I assume has bloomed for me, which he called the "pink" form. Looks more red than pink to me! Mine's got another bud coming on now, too. I plan to whack mine back this year to work towards a more compact plant! Denise in Omaha |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Wed, Feb 16, 11 at 10:27
Denise, Could it have been Shanna? If so, she sold off many of her hoyas last year prior to having her first baby! There will definitely be some lobbii whacking at my house after this one blooms! |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Thu, Feb 17, 11 at 20:07
I was under the impression that a couple hoyas including lobbii did not branch unless trimmed, so I was really surprised to see this on the beanstalk hoya this evening: The bottom two nodes have branches forming! |
That's great and if you do decide to cut the top of the plant at least you know you will get a nice bushy pot full of cuttings. Mike |
Wow, that's cool, Kelly! I'm off to check on mine, now! Denise in Omaha |

Hoya lobbii's buds are really taking shape! Hope the wait for blooms isn't too much longer! Did lose 2 buds, so down to 11. |

Looks like any day now.It will be nice to see if its one of the dark flowered ones. I would like to get a cutting of this hoya. Cindy |
Kelly, Thank you for the pictures.... I'm as excited as you with you plant! Everyday I came here to check if the flowers opened. Please keep posting the development. Congrat for your plant, it is really nice, I never considered to grown like you did. The only problem is going to be the roof. LOL |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 11 at 7:22
Thanks for sharing in my excitement! I'm never sure about posting bud pictures, but do it anyway because I love watching the progression of buds! Can remember too when I first started growing hoyas wanting to know what to watch for, etc! You're absolutely right that the roof is going to be a problem with this one! I'm amazed at how much it has grown this year. After the flowers open and fade I'm goind to chop it up into a full plant...although maybe I'll take the top portion and grow it as a stalk again! Checked this morning and still no signs of opening... Had really thought they would open this past weekend! |
I like seeing photos of buds, entire plants for that matter. I have Hoya pachyclada,Hoya lasiantha and Hoya lambii in bud right now and I think I might try and get some photos of them before they bloom. The buds have a charm all their own and some have really peculiar shapes. It's interesting to see the progression of colour in your plants buds. It looks like you might get a dark pink flower but last time I tried to guess the colour of lobbii's flowers from the bud stage I was way off. Mike |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 11 at 15:30
I totally agree that the buds on Hoyas (and many other plants) are just as spectacular as the actual flowers. Do you ever have the experience where you see the bud and actually get disappointed by the flower? I mean, not on your own plant, of course, but during internet browsing? :P It really does look like dark flowers! I'm amazed by how much their color has changed. I feel like lobbii is particularly deceitful with its buds, though! |

It's about freakin' time! Little later and slightly different lighting as the sun moves to the far side of the window: |
How pretty, I like the dark and light coloring of the flower. It sure took its time to open. Cindy |
Very nice and that last photo is STUINNING! Mike |
Wow, they're beautiful! Congrats. :) Wonderful texture in the photos~ |

Not to be confused with jackhammer, jackrabbit is NOT a compliment! It can be characterized by a painful, non-enjoyable sex experience. When being the victim of such a sexual encounter it is best to watch tv, or take your mind off of it in some manner. Planet Earth is generally suggested.

Luther Burbank
Luther A. Burbank | |
Born | Lancaster, Massachusetts, U.S. |
7 March 1849
Died | 11 April 1926 Santa Rosa, California, U.S. |
(aged 77)
Fields | Botany |
Luther Burbank (March 7, 1849 – April 11, 1926)[1] was an American botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot.
Burbank's most successful strains and varieties include the Shasta daisy, the fire poppy (note possible confusion with the California wildflower, Papaver californicum, which is also called a fire poppy), the "July Elberta" peach, the "Santa Rosa" plum, the "Flaming Gold" nectarine, the "Wickson" plum (named after agronomist Edward J. Wickson), the freestone peach, and the white blackberry. A natural genetic variant of the Burbank potato with russet-colored skin later became known as the Russet Burbank potato. This large, brown-skinned, white-fleshed potato has become the world's predominant potato in food processing.
Life and work[edit]
Born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, Burbank grew up on a farm and received only an elementary school education. The thirteenth of eighteen children, he enjoyed the plants in his mother's large garden. His father died when he was 21 years old,[2] and Burbank used his inheritance to buy a 17-acre (69,000 m²) plot of land near Lunenburg center. There, he developed the Burbank potato. Burbank sold the rights to the Burbank potato for $150 and used the money to travel to Santa Rosa, California, in 1875. Later, a natural sport of Burbank potato with russetted skin was selected and named Russet Burbank potato. Today, the Russet Burbank potato is the most widely cultivated potato in the United States. A large percentage of McDonald's french fries are made from this cultivar.
In Santa Rosa, Burbank purchased a 4-acre (16,000 m2) plot of land, and established a greenhouse, nursery, and experimental fields that he used to conduct crossbreeding experiments on plants, inspired by Charles Darwin's The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication. (This site is now open to the public as a city park, Luther Burbank Home and Gardens.) Later he purchased an 18-acre (7.3 ha) plot of land in the nearby town of Sebastopol, called Gold Ridge Farm.[3]
From 1904 through 1909, Burbank received several grants from the Carnegie Institution to support his ongoing research on hybridization. He was supported by the practical-minded Andrew Carnegie himself, over those of his advisers who objected that Burbank was not "scientific" in his methods.[4]
Burbank became known through his plant catalogs, the most famous being 1893's "New Creations in Fruits and Flowers," and through the word of mouth of satisfied customers, as well as press reports that kept him in the news throughout the first decade of the century.
Burbank creations[edit]
Burbank created hundreds of new varieties of fruits (plum, pear, prune, peach, blackberry, raspberry); potato, tomato; ornamental flowers and other plants.[5]
- Fruits
- 113 plums and prunes
- 35 fruiting cactus
- 16 blackberries
- 13 raspberries
- 11 quinces
- 11 plumcots
- 10 cherries
- 10 strawberries
- 10 apples
- 8 peaches
- 6 chestnuts
- 5 nectarines
- 4 grapes
- 4 pears
- 3 walnuts
- 2 figs
- 1 almond
- 69 nuts[citation needed]
- Grains, grasses, forage
- 9 types
- Vegetables
- 26 types[citation needed]
- Ornamentals
- 91 types[citation needed]
Burbank was criticized by scientists of his day because he did not keep the kind of careful records that are the norm in scientific research and because he was mainly interested in getting results rather than in basic research. Purdue University professor Jules Janick, writing in the 2004 World Book Encyclopedia, says: "Burbank cannot be considered a scientist in the academic sense."
In 1893, Burbank published a descriptive catalog of some of his best varieties, entitled New Creations in Fruits and Flowers.
In 1907, Burbank published an "essay on childrearing", called The Training of the Human Plant. In it, he advocated improved treatment of children.
During his career, Burbank wrote and co-wrote several books on his methods and results, including his eight-volume How Plants Are Trained to Work for Man (1921), Harvest of the Years (with Wilbur Hall, 1927), Partner of Nature (1939), and the 12-volume Luther Burbank: His Methods and Discoveries and Their Practical Application.
Burbank experimented with a variety of techniques such as grafting, hybridization, and cross-breeding.
Intraspecific breeding[edit]
Intraspecific hybridization within a plant species was demonstrated by Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel, and was further developed by geneticists and plant breeders.
In 1908, George Harrison Shull described heterosis, also known as hybrid vigor. Heterosis describes the tendency of the progeny of a specific cross to outperform both parents. The detection of the usefulness of heterosis for plant breeding has led to the development of inbred lines that reveal a heterotic yield advantage when they are crossed. Maize was the first species where heterosis was widely used to produce hybrids.
By the 1920s, statistical methods were developed to analyze gene action and distinguish heritable variation from variation caused by environment. In 1933, another important breeding technique, cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), developed in maize, was described by Marcus Morton Rhoades. CMS is a maternally inherited trait that makes the plant produce sterile pollen. This enables the production of hybrids without the need for labour-intensive detasseling.
These early breeding techniques resulted in large yield increase in the United States in the early 20th century. Similar yield increases were not produced elsewhere until after World War II, the Green Revolution increased crop production in the developing world in the 1960s.
Classical plant breeding[edit]
Classical plant breeding uses deliberate interbreeding (crossing) of closely or distantly related individuals to produce new crop varieties or lines with desirable properties. Plants are crossbred to introduce traits/genes from one variety or line into a new genetic background. For example, a mildew-resistant pea may be crossed with a high-yielding but susceptible pea, the goal of the cross being to introduce mildew resistance without losing the high-yield characteristics. Progeny from the cross would then be crossed with the high-yielding parent to ensure that the progeny were most like the high-yielding parent, (backcrossing). The progeny from that cross would then be tested for yield and mildew resistance and high-yielding resistant plants would be further developed. Plants may also be crossed with themselves to produce inbred varieties for breeding.
Classical breeding relies largely on homologous recombination between chromosomes to generate genetic diversity. The classical plant breeder may also make use of a number of in vitro techniques such as protoplast fusion, embryo rescue or mutagenesis (see below) to generate diversity and produce hybrid plants that would not exist in nature.
Traits that breeders have tried to incorporate into crop plants in the last 100 years include:
- Increased quality and yield of the crop
- Increased tolerance of environmental pressures (salinity, extreme temperature, drought)
- Resistance to viruses, fungi and bacteria
- Increased tolerance to insect pests
- Increased tolerance of herbicides
Mass selection[edit]
Burbank cross-pollinated the flowers of plants by hand and planted all the resulting seeds. He then selected the most promising plants to cross with other ones.
Personal life[edit]
By all accounts, Burbank was a kindly man who wanted to help other people. He was very interested in education and gave money to the local schools. He married twice: to Helen Coleman in 1890, which ended in divorce in 1896; and to Elizabeth Waters in 1916. He had no children.
His friend and admirer Paramahansa Yogananda wrote in his Autobiography of a Yogi:
His heart was fathomlessly deep, long acquainted with humility, patience, sacrifice. His little home amid the roses was austerely simple; he knew the worthlessness of luxury, the joy of few possessions. The modesty with which he wore his scientific fame repeatedly reminded me of the trees that bend low with the burden of ripening fruits; it is the barren tree that lifts its head high in an empty boast. (Yogananda, 1952, p. 416)
In a speech given to the First Congregational Church of San Francisco in 1926, Burbank said:
I love humanity, which has been a constant delight to me during all my seventy-seven years of life; and I love flowers, trees, animals, and all the works of Nature as they pass before us in time and space. What a joy life is when you have made a close working partnership with Nature, helping her to produce for the benefit of mankind new forms, colors, and perfumes in flowers which were never known before; fruits in form, size, and flavor never before seen on this globe; and grains of enormously increased productiveness, whose fat kernels are filled with more and better nourishment, a veritable storehouse of perfect food—new food for all the world's untold millions for all time to come.[6]
In mid-March 1926, Burbank suffered a heart attack and became ill with gastrointestinal complications. He died on April 11, 1926, aged 77, and is buried near the greenhouse at the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens.
Burbank's work spurred the passing of the 1930 Plant Patent Act four years after his death. The legislation made it possible to patent new varieties of plants (excluding tuber-propagated plants). In supporting the legislation, Thomas Edison testified before Congress in support of the legislation and said that "This [bill] will, I feel sure, give us many Burbanks." The authorities issued Plant Patents #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #18, #41, #65, #66, #235, #266, #267, #269, #290, #291, and #1041 to Burbank posthumously.
In 1940, the U.S. Postal Service issued a 3-cent stamp honoring Burbank.[7]
In 1986, Burbank was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The Luther Burbank Home and Gardens, in downtown Santa Rosa, are now designated as a National Historic Landmark. Luther Burbank's Gold Ridge Experiment Farm is listed in the National Register of Historic Places a few miles west of Santa Rosa in the town of Sebastopol, California.
The home that Luther Burbank was born in, as well as his California garden office, were moved by Henry Ford to Dearborn, Michigan, and are part of Greenfield Village.

Pastor to the Community
I decided that serving the community was one of my core values.
—David Galloway
Strangely, I felt that there was hope for healing the divisions in my city when I saw what didn't happen after Annie Ray Dixon was killed in the summer of 1992.
Mrs. Dixon was an eighty-four-year-old grandmother, a double amputee, and African-American. A botched drug raid went to the wrong house, and a white deputy busted through Annie's bedroom door. Tragically, his gun went off and killed Mrs. Dixon as she lay in bed. The African-American community in Tyler, Texas, was outraged; the incident had the potential of blowing up the city.
I was about two hundred miles away in Houston when Mrs. Dixon was killed. Some fellow members of a citizens' action group, Tyler Together, phoned me and asked if I could intervene and keep the peace.
Our first stop was the sheriff's office; he was considering limiting the investigation to his internal affairs department. But we convinced him that such a limited approach would only increase the outrage and fuel the rumors of cover-up. He wisely decided to forgo an internal investigation and called in federal investigators instead. Adding to the frustration of the black community, though, the deputy was not indicted for misconduct, and he returned to the streets on active duty.
Then the NAACP called for a march and rally in Tyler to dramatize the racial situation there. Responding, the Ku Klux Klan announced a simultaneous counterdemonstration and filed for a parade permit around the courthouse square. Fans of writer John Grisham will see remarkable similarities in A Time to Kill, which chronicled a fictitious confrontation between the NAACP and the KKK in a Southern town.
But this wasn't fiction. My fear of racial violence was heightened by the anger I heard as I visited both sides. The national news media descended on Tyler, with satellite trucks ready to broadcast any violence that might ensue. City fathers were up in arms about the image being projected of Tyler, a town known as the "rose capital of the world." That August weekend was so tense it felt as if the city would explode.
Miraculously, the city kept its composure; both demonstrations took place peacefully. Through the whole affair, there was not one incident of violence.
Part of the reason, I believe, was the prayer of committed Christians. Another was the work done before the crisis erupted. Several leaders in the community had worked together to address the racial tension, which allowed a space for negotiation in the squeeze of confrontation.
My role in this crisis comes out of my philosophy of ministry. In the Episcopal tradition, the community is an extension of my parish. It's not enough to have a happy church if it's insulated from the community. Part of my pastoral role, I've determined, is leading our church to serve our community. Helping to heal the surrounding community is what I call "city therapy." It's a challenging vocation but ultimately rewarding. Here are five principles ...

Bangarang Release Candidate 1.0
The media player Bangarang has qualities that could soon make it the default player for KDE. This latest release fixes a few bugs and is compatible with KDE 4.4.
Among the features of the new KDE media player are mixed play lists for films and music and closer integration in the KDE 4 desktop. With the help of Nepomuk, Banagarang saves the ratings for videos and individual music and makes it available for other KDE applications. For example, the data manager Dolphin. For playback, Bangarang utilizes Phonon, therefore supporting all data formats of the Phonon backend.
The release candidate fixes issues in the meta data update and the album covers in ID3V2 tags. The meta data update of saved play lists now also functions as it should. Head developer, Andrew Lake, has also built in Dolphin drag&drop support, and added Chinese localization.

The art scene in Delhi is becoming more exciting with many international artists showcasing their work in India.
An ongoing exhibition of Myanmarese artist Zaw Win Pe's works in the city has attracted many art lovers and connoisseurs. Organized by the Calcutta Arts Club, it's a travelling art show, which will be exhibited in Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai as well.
Abhishek Basu, the organizer, told us, "Myanmar's been shut to the world for so many years, but even then all these paintings are so contemporary. It took us two years to put this thing together because there are no mobile phones in Myanmar, and so we would have to meet the artist in person for everything." When we asked him how people in Delhi were receiving these artworks, he said, "The response has been great. The Canadian high commissioner and the Italian ambassador's wife have also bought a painting each. No one knows about this artist because it's his first time in India, but even then they're buying his works, not as an investment, but because they liked it."
