Updated: 7/1/12 Added a new idea Ok guys, I've got an image to go with a map idea. Keep in mind that it is a working draft, so things may be disproportionate or out of place. If you disagree with anything, let me know, if your reasons are good I'll change it and credit you. I really want to get some good worthwhile feedback on this map so don't hold back. As long as I'm getting feedback I'll be answering questions and updating this post, so read through it all first please. TeknoWizard is becoming my right-hand man on this, so you can trust his answers too. Important Note: There were a few things that I heard from a lot of people before making this map, and these items I plan to stick to unless someone can come up with an overwhelming reason against it. The things most people asking for new maps want are a new game mode, a larger, more involved jungle, and a break from the 3-lane system of SR. Game Mode: Capture the Flag Lanes: 2, with minions Teams: 2 teams of 6 each Primary Objective: Capture the flag from the center of the map and bring it into the enemy's nexus. Secondary Objective: Killing enemy champions. Win Condition: First team to 100 points wins. 15 points per flag capture, 1 point per kill. A team can only score a maximum of 40 points by kills Edit: Someone mentioned that Nexuses seem to have importance in League maps, so perhaps instead of a count up to a winning score, each point counts against the enemy's nexus health, similar to Dominion. Note: The flag is a placeholder. I will come up with something better to call it later. Flag Details:
Wow Riven OP
Nice work on the map outline. I hope they make something like this
I would make is so that abilities cant be used while the flag is held along with a natural slow associated with holding the flag in place of the minion slows. also a way to drop the flag in case of a team fight. maybe carrying the flag can give a slow as well as armor magic resist so that its not impossible to survive with it. you know just incase vayne has to grab it. lol Just some thoughts. also I was thinking maybe two semi seperate jungles. so you can support two junglers since its a two lane 6 player game. Edit maybe having wards last 30 seconds longer would be nice. seeing as how its a bigger map

What if you made the map more of a figure eight? to promote teamfights and have the lanes meet in the middle. You could make the middle of the figure 8 a circle like you have now. The minions MS attack debuff wouldn't seem to be too useful seeing how the fastest way to the enemy base would be through the jungle where the minions wouldn't be and then the flag bearer would be shielded by the fog. Also, I think the flag score should be higher than 5, because otherwise I feel by mid game it will turn into a deathmatch instead of a CTF, as it would be safer to just gank kills for points than it would be to try to run into the base against an even team.
I have a few suggestions. They may have already been suggested though, as I didnt read every comment. I did, however read the whole first post and I'm in love with idea. Maybe make the jungle big enough to make double junglers viable, and have two players in each lane. If holding the flag debuffs movespeed, maybe the flag carrier could get an Armor and MR buff, or maybe just extra health while holding it, so it isn't certain death.
I think it might be cool if at a certain number of points or minutes in, the flag area keep evolving. Maybe add a few creeps into the area itself. Sort of a "defender" or the flag. Also, did you have an idea what happens when the creeps reach the end of the lane? I think that maybe have a few "tiers" of minions, and have it be like checkers. Reach the opposite side, then have the creep port back to your base slightly upgraded. Sort of like pseudo-super minions. Do you have any ideas what the buffs would be? I think some of the TT buffs might carry over well. Finally, is the flag stand revealed, or is it in the fog of war? Because to me, I would just rush a Oracle's on someone, then just clear the wards out of the center for the whole game, and they couldn't even contest a capture. All in all, map looks intriguing and fun. I'm interested to see if this goes anywhere.
I personally have been wanting a CTF map for a long time, I wasn't a fan of Dominion so hopefully they take something like this into consideration. Nice map design also.

Quoted from Patty H I am considering making a signficant investment in some STAUB cookware. Can anyone confirm that this is a good investment and the pans are safe? I love to cook soups and stews that go from stove top to oven, such as lamb shanks, osso bucco, beef stew, etc., so these seem to be the ultimate for that type of cooking.http://www.staubusa.com/Please let me know if anyone is familiar with these!
Quoted from Victoria TJ, I'm personally not willing to risk a small intake of aluminum, since my dad had Alzheimer disease.
Quoted from TJ Both my grandmothers had senile dementia. I just might pass on them myself, especially if I decide to give up the microwave. I'm experimenting with no microwaving this week, and that means using pots and pans much more!
Quoted from Victoria What are they, Patty? Is that enamel over cast iron?
Quoted from Victoria I'm tellin' ya, TJ, a bit of that liquid lecithin added to olive oil makes a stainless steel or cast iron pan work like teflon.
Quoted from Patty H Yes, Victoria, enamel over cast iron. BTW, I just bought a 10" saute pan on ebay made by Culinary Institute of America. I got a good deal! Thanks for the tip!
Quoted from Lola the spray bottle system I have mentioned here to all, works great for melike having your own compliant PAMa cup of olive oil, and a bout 2 Tbsp of liquid lecithinshake well before using.....a light spray is enough....or use a brush, before you heat the panalso use for baking , when coating your pan baked goods pop right out
Quoted from ruthiegirl I have yet to find a good quality spray bottle
Quoted from Drea When I was making up a batch of evoo and liquid lecithin, I made kind of a mess with the lecithin, and found another use for it! It softens cracked fingers!

I'm considering the 36" Bluestar Rangetop with the 24" backguard with shelf.
the shelf is 10" deep. The highest burners are on the front. The hood is 42" wide, 27" deep, 1200cfm fan. Also has warming lights, so I would like to take advantage of that this time. The shelf does have slots cut out in it to let steam, etc through. I'm ok with wiping down the underside of the shelf. If you have this setup, do you regret it? Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
We have the 24" backguard with shelf. We are quite happy with it except for one thing. The shelf isn't adjustable. Our friends have this same set up and their shelf lines up with the bottom of their upper cabinets. One thing we didn't check was the height of the stainless shelf with the bottom of OUR cabinets (I guess we just assumed it would line up like our friends). But our shelf ended up being about 4 inches higher than the bottom of our cabinets so it isn't as nice visually. It's not really a problem, but we were just taken by surprise. As I recall, it is a bit on the pricey side so you might see if a metal fabricator can make something similar for less money. I believe some people on GW have done that. |
We also have the 24" high shelf with the 36" BS. We don't have any warming lights. Nevertheless, if a couple of burners or the oven are running, the shelf makes a good plate warmer or keeps food warm. It's nice to keep that stuff off of the counters. Not matching up with the cabinets isn't a visual issue in my view. I'd be happy to post pictures if someone tells me how to do it. |

thanks for the responses. daveliv, if you look on the kitchens forum there is a thread that usually is hanging out on page 1, might slip to pg 2. It is titled something like "New to kitchens.." there are instructions on how to post photos. Bottom of cabinet height matching is a non-issue for me. We have left a lot of room between range/hood and cabinets on each side. |

Fifty years ago on April 23, 1964 the Leafs forced a game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals with the Red Wings in dramatic fashion. Proving that hockey players are some of the toughest athletes out there, Bob Baun was the saviour with an overtime goal after returning to the ice following an exit in the third due to a blocked Gordie Howe slapshot to the ankle. Later to find out it was broken.
Here's Bob along with some of his 1964 teammates at Air Canada Centre this past season.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my daily life with the children. How drama work opens children up, giving you a smile every day. How life skills sessions changed the way the children were behaving and taking care of themselves as loved human beings. Just great
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give it more money without a purpose that can be used by the creative staff for projects they create and know the needs of. I would let them build a new admin building for more space in the crowded offices.

Really… damnit.
In my first post ever on this blog, I discussed how much I respected the organizations of the Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning, and their abilities to do more, with less. The 21st, and 23rd highest payrolled teams in the league each won playoff series' last year in small markets.
How come?
Well, I theorized maybe that the teams had learned how to maximize the efficiency of each player. That maybe both teams understood that basic puck possession is what led to goals and to wins. I loved that both teams won despite not having traditional star players. I loved that Nate Thompson and Adam Hall became defensive stars for the Lightning and that Patric Hornqvist and Sergei Kostitsyn came out of nowhere to become scorers with the Predators.
The two teams are not good this season. Spare me your tripe about both teams being .500 teams—Nashville are 10-7-4 and Tampa are 9-9-2—the teams are a combined 19-22 when it comes down to it. But team records really don't mean all that much this early in the season. Sometimes teams have disproportionate records to their level of play, but that isn't the case with my two adopted Moneypuck teams.
One of the best ways to predict future success of a team is to count their shot differential at even strength with the score-tied. This eliminates a lot of things: refereeing effects, score effects, variance, all that stuff. It's repeatable and it's a good indicator of team performance. So how come Nashville and Tampa Bay are doing so poorly in this regard? Nashville has taken less than 44% of all the shots and missed shots that have taken place with the game tied at even strength. Tampa has taken just over 44%. Those are pretty modest numbers compared to last year.
In fact, last season, Tampa Bay was 7th in this "even strength score-tied Fenwick" percentage and Nashville was 9th. This season, the teams are 26th and 27th. So what happened in there? Which players just explicitly upped and left the Lightning and Predators organization? Unfortunately, to full explain what happened to these teams, it might take 40 full psychology evaluations and a whole lot more words than I can fit into this column, but I'll try and speculate as best I can, because, hey.
For Tampa, the Adam Hall-Nate Thompson-Dominic Moore trio that I like so much has really struggled to get much going. They are taking on tougher minutes this season and it really isn't paying dividends, as in, it isn't really opening up the offense. I generally like the idea of playing defensive forwards against opposing top lines to allow your scorers: your St. Louis' and your Stamkos', to have a little more cushion up front, but the reverse effect has happened in Tampa.
St. Louis and Stamkos aren't controlling possession like they were last season. After controlling 52.9% of the shots combined last season while they were on the ice, the pair have dipped to just 43.6%. Is this due to their own play or due to the fact that the dominant third line can't get anything going this season? Time will tell if they're able to improve in Tampa.
So tougher minutes from the third line in Tampa haven't panned out. As has not the loss of Joel Ward helped Nashville. While Ward is putting up a decent season thus far in Washington, taking on their toughest minutes and opening up Alexander Ovechkin to do, well, nothing so far, he's handicapped the Predators by leaving. Him and Steve Sullivan were arguably the best two regular forwards on Nashville last season possession-wise, and by ditching to Washington and Pittsburgh, respectively, the Predators weren't able to replace the two cheaply like I thought they may have.
Colin Wilson, who broke out in last season's playoffs, as well as Hornqvist, are the only two Predator forwards in positive possession territory. The rest, well, kind of stink without the help of the third line. Even stalwart defensemen Shea Weber and Ryan Suter, who dominated last season with the score tied even playing tough minutes, can't seem to get into positive territory (Weber is at 45.3% and Suter is at 43.6%) so far this season.
What really sucks for Nashville is that they've been wasting a terrific opportunity. The goaltending at even strength has been terrific this season, with Pekka Rinne putting up a .935 save percentage at even strength thus far, compared to a .932 through all of last season. The team's shooting percentage at all strengths, sixth in the league so far this season at 10.4%, has failed to generate any sort of extra goals for Nashville, due to their inability to control the shot clock.
Both teams have unfortunately taken a nose dive to start the season and time is running out ere the two teams can turn their fortunes around and start generating positive possession like they could last season. Else-wise, I may have to begin cheering for other possession darlings with low payrolls. Right now, I'm eyeing the Phoenix Coyotes and Ottawa Senators.
So watch out, 'Yotes and Sens fans.

Subject: Report on U-546 (draft) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(Continued) | ||||||||||||||||
Early history: After the U-546 was commissioned on the 3 June 1943 at the Finkenwerder Werft in Hamburg she went to Kiel for 2 weeks U.A.K. training, during which period the boat made its silent run at Sönderborg. From Kiel the boat proceeded to Danzig for further U.A.C. training. On this trip the U-546 visited shortly the 4th flotilla at Stettin to which she was attached at that time. | ||||||||||||||||
After having completed its U.A.K. and U.A.C. training the U-546 went to Hela Agru. Front for a 6 weeks training period. At the end of this training trouble developed on the Junkers air compressor and the boat went shortly to Danzig Holm-Yard for repairs and returned thereafter to Hela to repeat the alarm dives. When the U-546 had completed her training at Hela, she went to Pillau for approximately two weeks and to Liebau for another week to participate together with the U-945 and the U-547 and two Italian named 7C type boats in the Schiessflotilla, training. Thereafter followed the tactical training for the U-546 in the Baltic, lasting about 10-14 days. Having completed this training period the U-546 returned to Gotenhafen Navy Yard for minor repairs and then proceeded to Hamburg for final overhaul. During the final overhaul which lasted till the end of November 1943 the 2nd platform was widened and a 37 mm gun was mounted there. After the U-546 had been overhauled she proceeded to Kiel U.A.K. and from there to Hela for four days to carry out some alarm dives following the new established trim conditions after widening the 2nd platform. To complete her training the U-546 went from Hela to Swinemünde for a few days to practice her A.A. guns. In the meantime some trouble had developed again with the Ju-compressor which required its exchange. This was done at Stettin Navy Yard simultaneously with equipping the boat for the first patrol. From Stettin the U-546 proceeded to Kiel to take more supplies aboard ship before leaving Kiel on 22 January 1944 for her first patrol. | ||||||||||||||||
FIRST PATROL: Having left Kiel the U-546 went with an escort to Kristiansand, where she spent 3 days in taking fuel and last provisions. The U-546 left Kristiansand on 28 January 1944 and took course through the Iceland passage to the area of operations assigned to her in the North Atlantic, participated in the "Schillaufstelleng". On 14 Feb 44 the boat was attacked by a Sunderland with bombs and machine guns without causing any damage to the boat. One member of the gun crew, however was killed. Shortly after this engagement the U-546 operated in the Iceland area as weather-boat until the middle of April, when she was ordered back to Lorient. On her way to Lorient across the Atlantic the U-546 neither sighted anything nor was interfered with. Upon entering the Bay of Biscay, however her Naxos went out of order and the U-546 underwent three surprise attacks by aircraft. The first time the U-546 was attacked, at night by a Mosquito bomber, when she was unable to dive, because of damage to her electric motors, caused by negligence. She defended herself with machine guns and shot the attacker down, sustaining no damage. The following night she was attacked again by aircraft with searchlights; but no bombs were dropped. During the third attack by aircraft four to six bombs were dropped which did not cause any damage. Thereafter, the U-546 did not encounter any attacks by aircraft until her arrival at Lorient on 25 Apr 44. | ||
SECOND PATROL: At Lorient the crew of the U-546 went on leave after the boat was docked. The boat was overhauled and the Schnorchel was fitted. This lasted until early June 1044. On 15 Jun 44 the U-546 left Lorient for the Second patrol, she had to return after a few days, however, because the Schnorchel could not be hoisted. On 26 Jun 44 the U-546 left Lorient finally with the destination of the African Gold Coast assigned to her as area of operations, which area she never reached because she had to return to Germany after the Invasion of Normandy, instead of to Lorient, and therefore had to stretch her supplies. On 20 Jul 44 the U-546 sighted and attacked at daylight with one torpedo a carrier, without success, after which attack she was depth-charged for three hours. The position was southeast of the Azores half-way to Gibraltar. The U-546 then proceeded to Cape Verde where she operated for about four weeks attacking a convoy with a spread of three torpedoes, scoring no hits. The U-546 returned then to the North Atlantic, touching Norway to Flensburg, arriving there 25 Nov 44. Significant is the exceptionally long time of 150 days a boat of this type had been on patrol without refueling, yet having 30 cubic tons of fuel left over upon return to port. This was achieved according to the C.O. by floating submerged for days on water-layers with all engines stopped. | ||
THIRD PATROL: At Flensburg the U-546 remained 14 days before she could go to Kiel to begin with the overhaul, which lasted till early March 1945, because of the damage constantly being done to the yards by air-raids. On 10 Mar 45 the U-546 left Kiel for her third and last patrol, going first to Horten, departing thence for Kristiansand on 16 Mar 45, arriving in Kristiansand 18 Mar 45. Test-runs for Schnorchel and radar were carried out in Kristiansand, and supplies and fuel were topped off. Having left Kristiansand on 21 Mar 45 the U-546 took course through the Faroere passage proceeding submerged with the Schnorchel, under orders to patrol the North Atlantic with six other boats (Bode, Bernadelli, Bartsch, Offermann), course west. She surfaced for the first time in the night of 7-8 April for 8 hours. Hereafter she surfaced almost every night for 3 hours to charge her batteries. The group of six boats later was disbanded and each boat was ordered to operate on its own off the | ||
American coast. On 16 Apr 45 a carrier and two DE's were sighted, one of which DE's was attacked, without success. After that the U-546 encountered much more activity from radar devices, until she sighted on 24 Apr 45 the same carrier group again. Between 16 and 24 Apr 45 she received the last message to report fuel consumption. Having sighted the carried group again, the U-546 decided to attack, but waited for the group to come closer, to a more favorable position for attack. She was compelled to begin the attack ahead of time, when one of the DE's turned toward her, in the morning of 24 Apr 45, with a T-5; submerging after the firing of the torpedo, she heard a detonation. Shortly thereafter the U-546 was depth-charged until the evening, when she was so heavily damaged that she was unable to stay submerged or even make headway. The U-546 surfaced and was abandoned by her crew and sank shortly after. 33 crew-members were picked up as survivors. | ||

Super cute... SUPER SMALL! I was Super Excited to receive these jeans. Only to be Extremely Disappointed that they run about 2 sizes to small! Plus these jeans have no give/stretch, its a very stiff, i mean stiff jean material... They are very cute tho and I would give this review 5 stars if they were actually true to size. Unless the pair I got is a defect or something??? Either way I won't be keeping them and since there is no more sizes available I won't be exchanging them:( March 4, 2013
Favorite! I always have a hard time finding a perfect fit jean. I'm very short and small. These jeans fit me perfectly. I obviously had to get them hemmed. I can never find my length even online. But thankfully Buckle does free hemming. Love! February 8, 2013

Date 2000-00-00 Availability unrestricted Abstract In many Higher Education institutions, fun or enjoyment represents purposelessness, and is often characterised as something that should only be indulged in at specific times, in measured ways, and on special occasions. Play and games are thus often assigned a role that is secondary to 'real' work. This essentially artificial separation between work and play has had a profound effect on traditional learning theories and educational design.The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the metaphor of a game in the interaction, dynamics and complexities of a web-based module that is presented to adult learners. The uniqueness of this study is attributable to a combination of the following elements:
• games and play, and their motivational potential and value for adults
• adult learners, group complexities and dynamics, and the various kinds of online interactions to which learners are subjected
• the World Wide Web as a learning environment.
The case study upon which this thesis is based is the facilitation of a particular module that is presented as part of a two-year tutored Masters degree in Computer Integrated Education at the University of Pretoria. The presentation of the module simulated the spirit and atmosphere of Survivor© an award-winning reality series that has been shown on national television.
This study aimed to throw light on the impact of the metaphor of the game on the complexities of adult learning in a web-based module. In order to do this, the following elements of the game were investigated: Group Composition, Isolation (on the virtual island), Tribal Activities, Individual Activities, Reward Challenges, Immunity Challenges, Tribal Councils, Voting, and The Grand Prize.
The interactions, dynamics and other complexities in the group were explored in terms of the following focal points: Learning outcomes and expectations, peer support, feedback from peers and the facilitator, peer assessment, interpersonal conflict, language issues, stress factors, time concerns, competition, humour, personal lives, synchronous and asynchronous communication, costs implications, online culture, and retention rate.
An approach that is both qualitative and interpretivist informed this study. The study yielded a huge amount of rich detail for analysis. By crystallising and triangulating the qualitative results obtained from the data a powerful tool with which to investigate the interactions that occurred in CyberSurfiver was constructed. My focus was thus primarily qualitative because the study, as it was conceptualised, required for a detailed, in-depth interpretation of the case.
The study demonstrated how the CyberSurfiver design provided learners with opportunities to interact among themselves, with myself as facilitator and with the content, the technology, and their various environments. It showed that interactivity need not be excluded from online learning especially since the introduction of games can be successfully utilised to encourage interaction. It also highlighted the complexities, challenges, and concerns that both the learners and the facilitator face in a module with this type of design.
The findings from the study indicate that the introduction of a game metaphor can inspire high levels of motivation in adult learners and provide a stimulating, all be it challenging, online learning environment.

I had this Centurion DVA320S2 car DVD player for about 18 months and then it just stopped working (CD's would not load). In total I had used it about a dozen times. Also the player unit in the bag was quite bulky and it was difficult to find a place for it in the car… Read Full Review

fuchsia 'joan leach'
How much sun it prefers. Is it sprawling or upright ? What is the max height and spread ? Hardiness. If the planting location sunny but close to small maple will be okay. -Thanks |

Hi Lazy It would appear from most of the descriptions on this cultivar that 'Joan Leach' is what can best be described as a 'lax upright' and can be grown as either a bush (18" – 24") or trailer in a hanging pot. Regarding the hardiness, H3 as defined by the EGF (European Garden Flora) is equivalent to Zone 7. As with most fuchsias the like good light without excessive heat and if you could provide a site that receives shade in the hottest part of the day this will help the plant to thrive. See link for further information. Hope this helps. Tight.... |

I know it likes hot weather. Isn't it a hibiscus? Should I wait and just direct sow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am going to watch this tread. Yesterday I helped my neighbor girl plant 7 Okra seeds. Hope they germinate fine. Has anyone else wintersown Okra? Results? Trowelgal |
I have found it to be well worth the effort to WS okra. Yes, okra is a heat lover, which is why it benefits from WS over direct sow. The soil in a container heats up a little sooner than the ground itself. Once planted out it also benefits from 2 liter cloches over the plant, because of the heat. Before I knew about WS in containers, I direct sowed it under cloches, the idea being to heat up the ground for faster germination and growth. That gave good results as well, but I like WS better. Yes, it's in the hibiscus family. This year I'll be growing Clemson Spineless, Emerald, African and Red Burgundy. I like it fried and pickled, and in some cases in stews. Best of all, it's a real friend maker in the South. "Oh, you have okra in your 'flower beds'." |

Last year, one of the nicest houses on the nicest street in town had okra in her rose garden. I saw that woman out there pulling pods one afternoon with blue striped socks on her forearms. I thought to myself, that is so wrong. She ought to be wearing red stripes to match her culottes and sandals. I'll wintersow some on Thursday, the next best day for starting seeds. |

seedmama - Do you start it in milk jugs? How many to a jug? Doesn't it get big very fast? I will start mine whenever you say the time is right. Our soil temp seems to be only about 4 degrees different so I will follow your lead based on your experience. Token - Only you would want her socks to match. LOL |
- Posted by northerner_on Z5A ONCanada (My Page) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 5:40
I don't know what your temps. are in NC, so you may be able to get away with WSing Okra. I cannot successfully grow Okra here in the north until the soil warms up - late May to early June. As a matter of fact last year, the wife of the U.S. Ambassador was lamenting that she could not grow Okra in her Ottawa gardens (she is a Southerner). I have tried it earlier and the seed just sits there - doesn't even germinate when it warms up. I have grown (direct sow) several varieties but my favourite is Clemson Spineless and I get at least one good harvest a year. Last summer was wet and cool here and the hard frost found many young fruit still on the plants. They are members of the hibiscus family and the flowers, though pretty, are borne in a very inconspicuous manner, you could even miss them. Let me know how it turns out. Northerner. |
Soonergrandmom, Thanks for asking the question. Just as I was giving serious thought to record keeping, you asked a question which shows why I do it. Last year, I sowed both Emerald and Clemson Spineless on 4/7 and had germination on 4/13. I put 36 seeds to a milk jug, 6x6. Everything I did last year was late because of the new arrival. I hope to put okra in jugs sooner this year, but looking at the calendar, it may not be by much. I liked the speed with which I harvested WS okra and I liked being able to place it just so in the ornamental border. If you plan to put okra in rows, you might find for the trade off in labor and potting mix expense vs. your time, that 2 liter cloches in rows are a better choice. I hope you'll experiment and let us know about your experience. I have also WS cucumbers and here's my two cents on that. Until I handled WS seedlings I had no idea how much of that heady cucumber scent existed in the plant. Digging in the dirt and smelling the cucumber fragrance was much like a spa experience. This year however, I will WS only my small quantities of slicing cukes, and will direct sow the larger quantity of picklers. Why? Because of time and timing. I have many more pickler seeds available this year and can afford to lose a few. There's a lot of time involved in planting out, and I really need to use that elsewhere. Additionally, cuke sprouts grow so quickly here in the south that there is a very small window of opportunity in which to get them planted out without stunting growth. That said, it's the WS slicers that will bring me the most joy, and it's the closest I'll get to a spa until Oprah discovers me. Some folks like to WS corn. I tried it last year and discovered it's not for me. Again, our heat facilitates rapid growth. I planted out two days after I got sprouts and still it was too late to get an established footing with the roots. All my corn blew over. I can't lay the entire burden for that on WS, because Oklahoma winds are famous. It may also have been the variety of corn I tried. However, in researching various discussions here I've reached anecdotal conclusions that those most satisfied with WS corn tend to live further north than I. I have to assume it was the rapid container growth in the south that contributed to the corn's demise. That said, I encourage you to have your own experience. Token, "I thought to myself, that is so wrong. She ought to be wearing red stripes to match her culottes and sandals." Now THAT'S funny. As if men aren't visual enough already, architects have to take it up a notch. I know because I live with one. He might have taken you to task on the matching, as he prefers CONTRAST. Tells me so every day, in between comments about proper SCALE. I really thought we were going to have to name our first child SCALE just to shut him up. |

PUNE: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists and supporters staged a 'gherao' at the Fergusson college principal's office on Monday to protest against the delay in action against a senior teacher of the college for alleged misbehaviour with a first-year B.Sc student.
The college later issued a release stating that an inquiry panel, which was asked to examine the girl's complaint against the teacher, will meet on January 12 to finalise its inquiry process.
The incident occurred some time in October during the oral exams for botany, for first-year B.Sc students. One of the students had complained to the college's students' council that the teacher taking the exam had misbehaved with her.
The students' council had reported the matter to the college management and a panel was assigned to hold an inquiry into the matter. The panel met once but things did not progress thereafter, said an ABVP activist.
Irked by the delay, a fairly large number of ABVP activists gathered on the college premises around 11 am on Monday and gheraoed the college principal, Ravindrasinh Pardeshi, demanding action against the teacher.
The stir, which continued till 1.30 pm, was called off after the college authorities promised that the panel would finalise the inquiry process at its next meeting on January 12. The ABVP has threatened an agitation if no action is taken in the matter after the meeting.

text: CHAMBERLAIN'S NEW ROLE: Former Stride Rite Corp. CEO David Chamberlain has formed a restructuring and crisis management firm called Eaglepoint Advisors LLC, based in San Francisco. Eaglepoint, founded by Chamberlain and two of his longtime business contacts, Peter Harris and Joe Alouf, operates as an affiliate of well-known retail consulting firm Kurt Salmon Associates and focuses on helping distressed firms in the middle-market retail and consumer goods sectors. According to Chamberlain, crisis management is a service Kurt Salmon had shown interest in offering, and through various contacts, the partnership between the two firms was formed. As such, Eaglepoint will tap into Kurt Salmon's knowledge base to help clients as well as to provide access to resources and funding. "For us, [the partnership with Kurt Salmon] is a real plus because they have a lot of credibility in the retail consumer space and we have access to their 400-plus professionals." Harris, a 30-year retail veteran, has run firms such as FAO Schwartz and West Marine and has served on the boards of Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. and Mrs. Fields. Alouf is formerly SVP at Prudential Capital and has been involved in numerous restructurings over a 20-year career. Following his retirement from Stride Rite in July 2007, Chamberlain was executive chairman at stationery company Papyrus for one year. — MEREDITH DERBY

Alabama Power Co.'s right-a-way cleaning crew hits again. The other day I heard a noise and looked outside and saw a big tractor with a saw extenion about 20' on my lot. the arm was extended and cuting my trees. They have the right to cut 15' but from the road or by hand. I called the police and they stoped them. The boss of the company that is incharge of right-a-ways came out and talked to me. He said he didn't know why they had gotten off the road. He said they would do the rest of the clearing by hand. My moso(I think) patch extended into the cut limits, so I have taken up several clumps. I also dug up some root setions.I have cut about 25 large canes. I also took up several black bamboo roots. I have these for inperson trades if anyone is interested. I am on the western side of Birmingham. If interested post here then email. |

I also wish I were closer. I'll be down that way, but it won't be until June. |

I wish you were both closer. Rob, when you come down in June, get back with me. When I cut down each mosa, it puts up small seedlings, which macks a very good starter plant. I should have some good plants by then. I also have other bamboo. I think its about the same here in Al. as it is in Ca. on the starting of Mosa. After I planted mine, it took about 3 years for it to start growing. |

Kt, Thouse plants are looking good. Mine not so much. My canes are about 3 times higher and it has been windy here. They keep being blown over, guess I will have to cut the canes off, didn't want too. I see that you have been at Graden Web about when I first started. I was here a long time, then took time off. I got tiired of all the SASE request. I started back last year. Tony |

A lot of my culms blew over here also with the high winds that we've had. The above pictured transplants would have grown 3 or 4 times taller but the drought stunted them and they were outside of my watered area. It makes for good, easy, and quick transplanting, though. I potted up two more yesterday along with 3 other bamboos. Taking divsions at this time of the year is easiest, although they can be taken at any time of the year in this area, but with differing results. The plants are just starting to grow so I will be dividing and potting up as many as possible over the next couple of days. Kt |
- Posted by plantman71 7b/8a (email@example.com) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 17:22
I find it easier to divide in Spring, but I dig when I need the plants and they do OK. I have about a hundred(it looks like) switch bamboos to dig and pot. I don't usualy take up my black. I dig root sections and cut in 6 to 8" peices, put in pots and keep wet until they put on new growth. I do the same with moso. Tony |
Big rootball and spring for dividing moso. |
- Posted by kentuck_8b __ (My Page) on Sun, Mar 3, 13 at 21:49
These rootballs were actually pretty small, maybe 7 inches across. This is the size that I usually get when dividing Moso. The most important thing is to disturb the soil as little as possible around the rootball when moving it to a pot or to another location. The bigger the rootball, the better, also because it will take root faster, but sometimes smaller is easier and works just fine. Kt |

Fireworks and Fun Family Traditions – This Weekend in Sonoma County
Fourth of July is just ahead of us! What does your family have planned for this weekend's celebration of our nation's independence?
Our family will hang flags, pull out the hand crank ice cream maker, and close down our court for an annual neighborhood party.
Come dark, everyone will pile into truck beds with blankets and pillows to ooh and aah over the view of the fireworks fired off for Sunday's Red, White and Boom show at the Sonoma County fairgrounds.
Do you still need to make your plans for the weekend? Excitingly, you'll have many ways to celebrate the Fourth of July in our community. From street parades, barbecues, a water parade, a waterfall slide show, and old fashioned fireworks displays – your family is sure to find a place to wave the old red, white, and blue.
My favorite choice? Watching the show over Clearlake at Library Park. This year's event includes a street fair, arts and crafts, music, and a cardboard and duct tape boat race- events begin at 11:00 am. Then, fireworks fill the sky and reflect over the calm lake waters at dark (9:30 p.e.) You can check out the details at www.lakecochamber.com, but as hosts of our neighborhood block party, we'll sadly miss this event again this year…
Another local favorite is the boat parade in Monte Rio. Locals rave that this is the best show in Sonoma County! Monte Rio's event is scheduled for Saturday July 3rd and will include a water carnival, boat parade, water curtain and games for kids. These free activities start at 11. Fireworks start at dusk.

That said, this will not be everybodys favorite movie, in part because of the chances it takes in going against the grain. The story deals with the relation between dream and reality, particularly how the former can influence the latter. Director/screenwriter Christopher Nolan layers dream upon dream, or dream within dream, sometimes confusingly but almost always intriguingly. He also mixes in chase scenes, action sequences, even a tad of humor, though none of these really characterizes the film.
To recap the plot, then, is a bit misleading, since it doesnt capture the films flavor. But here goes. DiCaprio plays Cobb, a man who has lost his wife, whom he is suspected of murdering. He literally cant go home again to be with his two children. Cobb earns his living by getting into peoples dreams by a process that, to say the very least, is left unclear. But his team includes a chemist to put the subject under, an architect to lay the scene for the dream, an assistant who generally takes care of the necessary, and a wild card with a strong imagination.
Generally, Cobb gets inside peoples heads to extract information: secrets, desires, guilt. But now he is asked by Japanese industrialist Saito (Ken Watanabe) to plant an idea inside the mind of a powerful rivals son: to break up his fathers business empire. This inception has to be made so subtly that the son (Cillian Murphy) will believe that it is his own inspiration, or change of heart.
But Cobb himself has a secret, one that keeps intruding itself into his plans, threatening to blow the whole scheme apart. One of his recruits, Ariadne (Ellen Page), finds out about it by tracking down through the layers of Cobbs subconscious. Good at creating mazes, Ariadne must ultimately supply the thread that gets Cobb and the team back to realityif thats where they wind up.
Nolan keeps things moving along at such a feverish pace that you dont have time to reflect on the plots several problems, nor even the desire to. Di Caprio, Page, and Marion Cottilard as Cobbs late wife are especially good, again helping us to suspend disbelief by making their characters credible. Film editor Lee Smith and cinematographer Wally Pfister create much of the scenes look and the internal logic that ties scenes together, generally avoiding what could have been a hopeless tangle.
The previews have generally tried to sell Inception on the strength of the computer-generated imagery: indeed, the technical work here is impressive, but its not the main appeal, at least for those who want to think about a film after theyve left the theater. Im already looking forward to seeing it on DVD. The film is rated PG-13, and Im guessing that most preteens would be lost in its mazes, in any case. But adults and fans of, say, The Matrix will likely be impressed.

Here is some excellent news for Brits who travel often to developing countries. One of the irritations of frequent travel is the ludicrous roaming charges imposed by mobile phone companies (file under #FirstWorldProblems). It is expensive to receive calls on your British mobile number when your travelling (because you have to pay the international call rate on the incoming call) as well as to make calls or send or receive texts. The data costs when roaming are also extortionate.
Roaming charges within Europe are beginning to come down, thanks mainly to the EU, but it still costs an arm and a leg to use a British mobile in the United States or in most developing countries.
My usual work-around has been to use local Pay-As-You-Go SIM cards and leave my UK mobile switched off, so that it diverts to voicemail. A big disadvantage of this is that anyone calling or texting my UK mobile doesn't reach me. (By the way, it is outrageous that there is no way to access my mobile phone voicemail, nor send and receive texts, over the web.)
The good news is that O2, a UK mobile operator, has released a new app called TuGo which seems likely to disrupt all that. It installs on your Android or iPhone, or your laptop. Anywhere you can get a wifi internet connection, you can use the app as if you were using your mobile phone in the UK. It can receive calls made to your UK mobile number, make calls from your UK number, and it can send and receive texts. All this comes out of the talk time and text allowance in your normal O2 contract, with no additional overseas roaming charge.
So for example, when travelling in Ethiopia you could put a local Pay-As-You-Go sim card into your smartphone (to make and receive local calls) and run this app (to make and receive calls and texts on your UK mobile number, using a wifi internet connection). Then you would have two phone numbers working simultaneously on your phone without the need for dual SIM. Provided you can get a decent internet connection – perhaps in a hotel or internet cafe – you would be able to sit in Ethiopia and make and receive calls as if you were in the UK, on your normal UK mobile number, with no roaming charges and no international call charges.
There are parts of this you can do in other ways. You can use Skype to make international calls; and if you have a Skype In number people can call you. You can use What's App to send messages to other users of What's App. But I am not aware of any other solution that enables you to use your normal mobile number for calls and texts, anywhere in the world, without international charges, and without the people you are talking to having to do anything different.
Sadly I am not with O2 so I have not tried this. Has anyone with O2 given it a go? I would be interested to hear how it works in practice.
Now that O2 have shown that this is possible, I cannot see how other mobile phone operators can avoid following suit. I asked Vodafone if they are planning to introduce a version of this app for their customers. I got an uncomprehending reply from customer support, saying that since the app is only for O2 customers, I won't be able to use it. [NSS!] If Vodafone has not introduced a similar app by the time my contract expires, I'll probably move my number to O2 to take advantage of it.
8 Responses to How to avoid high roaming charges in developing countries
Hi Owen
Thanks for sharing this. Well I am on O2 and these days I am in the field here in Pakistan so will try!
And for those not in the UK or not on O2 I do this:
Have a Skype-in number in Denmark, forward my Danish number to Skype number when travelling, forward my Skype number to whatever number I'm using. This way I receive all calls.
There's an app for on-click setting up forwarding.
Won't do SMS though, I wonder how P2 do that. -
Owen, have you seen Viber? It works, when online, with your usual phone numbers. To be on line you can use a mobile router with a local internet subscription or prepaid internet only sim in order to be also on line outside the WIFI environment of hotels etc.
Saw a tweet to this post and thought I'd share my thoughts! I am an O2 customer and have used ToGo in this way (as well as within the UK, answering calls on my iPad when my phone battery died), which was extremely useful. I fully agree that it is a reason to be with O2, in my case tipping the balance away from leaving for a slightly cheaper offer elsewhere. I have has no problem with lag, and in some cases calls and texts come through to my iPad marginally before my phone!
Only problem with it is that the app itself is not the best designed in the world, feeling slightly clunky and not keeping calls and messages you have dealt with in sync across multiple devices with TuGo installed. A recent update suggests O2 are still working on it and definitely taking it in the right direction. In my view, the additional flexibility more than makes up for this minor annoyance.
Jake -
The core service is a MVNO whose SIM comes with a pool of local phone numbers for each country where they have interconnection, so when you make an outbound call (or use data), they're only paying local wholesale rates, and they can pass the saving on to you. If you want, and are willing to pay a bit extra, you can have an assigned local number in such and such a country.
The app adds to this by routing your calls over WiFi if available and of suitable quality, over mobile data if of sufficient quality and covered by their rates, or failing those, over the mobile voice circuit. -
I´m just beginning to pay a look to CrowdRoaming… http://venturevillage.eu/startup-of-the-week-crowdroaming
