there was this stupid tv show that was called ''Enlisted'' it was so stupid about 3 brothers in army it was funny but you c ould see that it will get cancelled still sad about it Q.Q
Some Stories Are Just Way Better In My Head!
They continued Avatar with the new series, the legend of korra. I'm kind of sad that warehouse 13 is ending but it seems like a good a time to end it as any. Community just died, but it might come back. Arrested development died but came back.
I did not like the sequel for Avatar. I found Korra's personality highly irritable. I had trouble finishing season 1 but never watched season 2 passed episode 2 because I fear she might do something stupid.
Why did they end futurama x_x ratings drop my bum
Also I wanna see all of Hannah Barbara cartoons come back. Those cartoons were amazing. Powerpuff girls, Dexters Lab, 2 Stupid Dogs, um Flintstones, Jetsons? etc
Also wanna see Reboot, Transformers 90s version and 80s version, and all of the Saturday Morning 1980 cartoonsto make a comeback.
More recent though: Futurama, Fringe, Being Human (US), Heroes, Alphas, Scare Tactics, Fear Factor, V, and Attack Of The Show.
I am just glad Hulu and Netflix got our backs on some of the cancelled shows so we can relive the naustalgia of reruns of those shows big wig networks have canceled. Too bad they don't own the rights to make more episodes of them though.
In the words of Professer Farnsworth from Futurama in regards to bringing back the good cancelled shows: "A man can dream though, a man can dream".
I am still sad that Friends is over
Reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Last read: You Just Don't Understand!: Women and Men in Conversations by Deborah Tannen (A MUST READ), A Child Named "It" by Dave Pelzer (NOT BAD), A Dance With Dragons by GRRM (4.5/5)

ST John Ambulance Portland members Tony Oxford and Bruce Caslake say they now have a deeper appreciation of the importance of the Order of St John after experiencing a 22-day overseas tour of historical sites.
The two men were part of a group of 33 members from Australia who spent time last month exploring some of the key sites which have played an important role in the history of their organisation, which stems as far back to 1099 and The Crusades.
"We had a great tour, some of the sites were magnificent, there were re-enactments and a lot of very welcoming people," they said.

Merge Air Force into Army, convert Pentagon into shopping mall
[Editor's note: This is Part II of Dr. Tilford's series on "Restructuring the Department of Defense.]
The U.S. Department of Defense must restructure to accommodate deep budget cuts and, more importantly, be ready for the challenges of 21st-century warfare. Those challenges will include unconventional operations and wars fought in vastly expanded battle spaces. Reforms are needed in three areas.
First, today's DoD — structured around land, air, and sea forces to accommodate Industrial Age conflict — is inadequate for Information Age warfare. The U.S. Air Force received separate service status in 1947 by a mating of the atomic bomb to the long-range delivery system of the day, the B-29 bomber. For five decades, air-power enthusiasts argued that air power formed the tip of the spear while land and sea forces constituted the supporting shaft. That is no longer the case.
Human-piloted combat aircraft undergird the Air Force's reason for being. It is likely that the 20 B-2 bombers currently in the inventory, at $2 billion dollars a copy, will be the last of the manned bombers. Additionally, the F-35 is likely to be the last manned fighter developed by the United States.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will be the fighting platforms of the future. They can do more for less cost because UAVs are not designed for pilot survivability. Additionally, in the current war, the Air Force has been the supporting — rather than the supported — service.
It's time to reintegrate the Air Force into the U.S. Army. This eliminates an entire service with accompanying bureaucracies while minimally expanding an Army likely to experience reductions throughout its other branches.
The U.S. Navy should assume primary responsibility for space and cyber warfare. Movement in space is more analogous to that at sea than it is to operations on land or air. The global reach of the Navy also makes it appropriate to place cyber operations under its purview.
Second, since warfare is foremost a mental and secondly a physical endeavor, DoD needs to restructure officer education. In the interest of building a truly seamless force, the three service academies should be closed and then consolidated into a single National Defense University located in Washington, D.C.
Additionally, the professional military education system can be streamlined by doing away with the individual service schools for junior, mid-level and senior officers. Schools like the Air, Army, and Naval war colleges would become part of the National Defense University.
Military physicians and lawyers, after completing basic medical and legal training at civilian universities, can be prepared for military service at the NDU. Students could also take courses at the universities within the District of Columbia's educational consortium.
NDU's graduate courses (replacing the current war colleges) would offer real masters and doctoral level courses. Individual service "think tanks" associated with the various war colleges exist primarily to support host service prerogatives. As in any civilian university, research and writing at NDU would be expected of all faculty members. A single, consolidated think tank might be established at NDU with resulting cost savings in personnel.
This reform would close three academies; close the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps command and staff colleges; close the Army, Naval, Marine Corps, and Air war colleges; and reduce facilities at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., and Quantico, Va.
Eliminating three service academies reduces overhead costs and also might ameliorate the pernicious effects of inter-service rivalries by educating all officers at a single, integrated institution. An entering freshman class of 4,000 to 5,000 should provide enough entry-level Army and Naval officers. To further military diversity, ROTC would provide 2,000 to 3,000 officers a year, but ROTC should be restricted to the 50 to 75 top-rated academic institutions.
Third, allowing officers to retire at half pay after 20 years of service, and forcing them to retire (in most cases) at some point between 24 and 32 years, is a waste of human skills and money. Service careers should run between 25 and 40 years. Concomitantly, the number of flag-rank officers should be reduced by at least 50 percent. Older officers can be moved to desk jobs or, if academically qualified, serve as faculty at NDU or in ROTC units.
Finally, close the Pentagon. It was built to accommodate a bureaucracy needed to field and operationalize the Industrial Age armed forces of World War II. The tendency is for bureaucracies to fill empty space and once in place, become entrenched.
The Pentagon would make a fabulous privately run retirement complex with enough room for a shopping mall, restaurants, a gymnasium, and even a hospital. A restructured DoD could be housed in the Forrestal Building in downtown Washington.
This restructuring streamlines bureaucracies, utilizes human capital and potential more effectively, and fosters a seamless interaction between the services. Armed forces exist to fight and win the nation's wars. A leaner, better-educated force can meet the challenges of Information Age Warfare and do it at considerably less cost.

....in the "Dr.Strangelove" movie!
Frankly, I don't trust our military all under one field command.
Currently, if one service branch decided that they knew best what we needed in an emergency, the others and the Pentagon would void them quickly.
This sort of thing has occurred many times in the third world.
It is also like the TEAS trying to take over congress with threats of election defeats for non-cooperating members. They are going to be voided soon due to their weakness and ignorance.
Can you imagine:
No welfare; no health care; no regulations on dangerous items; allowing banks and business to take full advantage; having all newspapers and networks exactly like FOX and The Citizen's philosophy with no opposition allowed; immediately hanging such criminals as the one in Florida, the Doctor in Vegas, and all obvious murderer's and rapists from police reports! All we would need would be three judges appointed by the TEAS.
Also, make the NAACP, EPA, OSHA, and the poor man's defense illegal and void them.
Excuse all corporate criminals if they made a lot of money would also be high on the list.
Allowing Fayette County, for instance, to have full control of all school decisions for everyone, while disposing of the tests to rank learning, and ask the government for no money to run the schools, but not tax the locals.
Stop all spending for 10-15 years until we get out of debt, and then we could start fighting the mobs who were wandering the country stealing, robbing and killing.
Tell the Chinese to reduce the amount we owe them by 50% or more immediately due to their FALSE MONEY.
If they asked for their money we borrowed from them or they would attack,
Simply stop all goods from them at the border and return them. Line up the ICBMs and bombers with several Chinese cities. Fire a few at some deserted islands off Japan.
This is my opinion as to what most TEAS want but don't know how to enumerate it. There is no other explanation.
Interesting. Dr Tilford, a 20 year Air Force guy, is advocating merging the Air Force into the Navy.
I wonder if part III of his series will discuss the the next round of consolidation of defense contractors?
One can postulate about the 'Grey Force' all they want, but the unabashed cash-dump in to 'contractors' (usually former DoD members who set up private businesses, or at the very least have large parts in setting up such - and are greatly taken advantage of by former troops) are a HUGE portion of the graft ( 'services') provided here/there. Given the enormous lack of citizens volunteering for service, the void is filled by 'contractors', and to some extent 'Government Service' hirelings. I could vent more, but I stop here (24 yr vet w/ an opinion here).

England Seize Their Chance
Jake Howe | 11:37am gmt 27 Jul 2011
When Stuart Broad had Ishant Sharma trapped lbw late on day 5 at Lord's, England not only took a 1-0 lead in a crucial series. They knew the official no.1 side in the world was weakened, and had moved in for the kill.
There was always the feeling that if England were going to win this series - and with it claim the mantle of the best Test side in the world - they would need to make their case known at HQ. India's typical poor starting of a series was in full swing, and their key players were not prepared - no matter how many Test tours they managed to skip in the proceeding months. Injuries to Sehwag and Zaheer, followed by an off-colour Tendulkar and a shaken Gambhir combined to give England their first sniff of victory. They did not waste their opportunity. They were onto the scent like a bloodhound.
Day 1 - If Zaheer Can't Do It, Who Can?
In hindsight, it's rather strange to think that India had the first chance to make an impact in this series. The Lord's deck, while not quite the highway of some modern grounds, seems to have lost the art of deterioration in recent times. The decision to bat or bowl first relies almost entirely on the overhead conditions. When angry grey clouds met the two captains on Thursday morning, it required no thought for the winning captain to put the opposition in to bat - in the most bowling-friendly surroundings he was likely to have for the duration of the Test. MS Dhoni won the toss and made the correct decision.
This was India's best chance to get on top of their opponents, but they failed. On a rain-struck first day, England reached 127-2 at stumps. It wasn't easy for them as Zaheer Khan showed the world why he is one of the best swing bowlers playing, the left-armer removing both openers and never looking like giving away a run. However, he then showed the world why he is one of the most frustrating cricketers to his fans. 13 and a half overs he lasted into the series before breaking down with a hamstring fault. He would not be seen for the rest of the Test.
Was it luck that shined on England? Or was it a critical weak link in India's game? Their main strike bowler must have been the centrepiece of their series' preparation. And he could barely last one spell into the first day.
England's progress was hardly serene - indeed, much could have been righted for the visitors if they had held their catches. However, the predictable weaknesses of poor fitness and poorer fielding had already shown themselves. Trott and Pietersen grafted hard through a day that was meant for the bowlers - and were ready to make it their own on the second day.
Day 2 - KP: The Revenge
Trott didn't last long, with only 12 added to his overnight score. His 70 had been vital, but perhaps on a sunny day England no longer needed their grafter-in-chief. Kevin Pietersen made himself the star of the show, and there is no doubt that the man from Natal would not have it any other way.
Pietersen's double-century was a perfect example of weathering the storm before striking when the going is good. at the end of the first day he had scratched his way to 22 off 74 balls. The Wisden Cricketer's Sampson Collins called his performance "batting like Bambi on ice, on stilts, in a hurricane." His first 50 was no quicker, his slowest ever from 134 balls. But once Pietersen hit his straps it was almost impossible for the Indians to keep him in check.
Having batted all day with Ian Bell, Matt Prior and later Graeme Swann, a message came out that England were to declare soon. Pietersen was on 186 when he saw part-time offie Suresh Raina preparing to bowl to him. Pietersen simply decided the double was his, and was there in four balls.
Ian Bell and Matt Prior were the day's supporting acts, and were contained to that role thanks to the bowling of Praveen Kumar. Praveen faced plenty of criticism before the series, namely that he just wasn't going to be fast enough to trouble the best sides. His new-ball swing had been threatening on day one, but Trott and Pietersen had been able to keep it out by eschewing all risk. On day two, with KP seeming nigh-unstoppable and his supporting bowlers in Harbhajan and Sharma looking far from threatening, Pravenn's role amounted to damage limitation and he delivered.
He bowled almost like Muralitharan would on first-day pitch offering nothing to spin. It was tight, it was accurate, and he made sure that whenever a wicket fell it was his. Adding in a couple of beaustiful deliveries - such as the one that pinned Stuart Broad lbw first ball - and Kumar picked up his maiden five wicket haul, a marathon 40-over effort of 5-106. Nonetheless he was the only barrier for the home side. England declared on 474/8.
Day 3 - Come Home Stuart, All is Forgiven
Not many had backed Stuart Broad heading into the match. Whether coming from those who thought he would benefit from being made to earn his place back, or those that simply no longer rated him as a bowler, Broad had few friends. Much of the debate had centred around his role in the bowling unit. The England bowling coach David Saker had dubbed him an "enforcer", saying his job was to bowl short, fast and aggressive, despit Broad's finest hours being with pitched-up accurate swing. During the early-summer series against Sri Lanka, Broad's consistent short-pitched efforts had fans frustrated and tired with him. Where was the Broad of the Oval and Durban 2009?
Team coach Andy Flower had publicly rubbished the "enforcer" idea - did this represent a return to the successful plan of full, accurate bowling? Or did it mean Broad had been ignoring instructions? Worse, did it mean Broad had been incapable of his best length in the previous series? Whatever sparked the change, Broad was suddenly back to his best. He started out by removing both openers during a hard-fought opening session on day three. Both were full deliveries coming back into the left-handers and both found their way onto the stumps.
Next, when the play was firmly in the hands of India's world-class old guard of Dravid and Tendulkar, Broad came inches from ripping through the middle order. First another full outswinger had Tendulkar caught at slip, the most famous man in cricket gone for 34. The very next over, both Dravid and Laxman did the same, but chances were shelled in the slips. Broad should have had five, the Indian top order should have been run through.
Laxman's dropping did not cost England much, after he flicked Tremlett into the hands of deep backward square, but Dravid's cost them dearly. England took regular wickets and rooted out India's lower order with the second new ball, but Dravid was always there, and the Wall was immovable on his way to a hundred. India were all out for 286, but crucially had avoided the follow on. Dravid's 103* - having been dropped on 42 - had kept India in the game.
Day 4 - Swings And Roundabouts
England's hunt for an opening win needed both quick runs in the first two sessions of day four, followed by a well-timed declaration. There is often an air of complacency about these situations, where moving into position for the win is fallaciously considered easy. Much of the talk was already surrounding how many runs England would want, let alone how many they would be able to get. They would aim for 250 or so in just over two sessions, and then aim to get at least one Indian out before the close. Anything more would be a bonus.
Rather it should have been expected for India to fight back. The surprise was the source. England were forced to tread carefully when a very good ball from Kumar removed Cook, and Strauss was out to a poor sweep shot off Harbhajan, and Ishant Sharma stood up to the plate. Having bowled a poor wide line and ineffective short length for much of the first innings, resulting in his 0-128, Sharma followed Broad's example and found the wonders of pitching full and fast. three wickets went down - Pietersen, Bell and Trott - for only one run, and England were in trouble at 62/5, and suddenly the chance of an Indian win was back on.
After a lunch break that could not come fast enough for the hosts, Matt Prior and Stuart Broad - in the midst of an amazing match - were the men to rescue England's innings. It was reminiscent of last year's Trent Bridge test against Pakistan, when Prior's hundred from 98/6 made a good lead into a commanding one. England needed the same from them here, and they needed them to do it quickly. They re-asserted their side's dominance with an unbeaten 162 from only 28 overs, and England declared.
By the time the declaration had come - setting India a near-impossible chase of 458 to win, or a much more likely three and a half sessions to bat out, India appeared to have given up in the field. It was a far cry from when they had the chance to get on top of England at 62/5. Stuart Broad's incredible match continued when he took the wicket of Mukund (again with a full, swinging delivery to take the young batsman's inside edge), and India ended the day with nine remaining.
After all this, India had ended up with a target that was just about unchaseable, and a day to go with nine wickets remaining. England's hardest-fought day of Test cricket since Perth 2010 had left the sides more or less exactly where they had been expected to be.
Day 5 - Seizing the Day
This was the day England had to make their hard work count. The grafting in good bowling conditions on day one, Kevin's innings on day two, the bowler's discipline on day three, the rescue job the previous day - all of it would count for nil if India batted out the final day. A stellar batting lineup would take on an excellent bowling attack in the hunt for nine wickets. Invoking memories of the final day of Old Trafford 2005, tickets were sold out in two hours.
Rahul Dravid, the first-innings saviour, and VVS Laxman, second innings specialist, were the overnight batsmen. On a flat wicket the pair were more than good enough to last the opening session. But neither was to manage it. England bowled with pace and discipline, and forced their opponents out through what will look like mere poor shots on the highlights reel. It was testament to the pressure England exerted that they were able to claim the two high-quality scalps, and when Gautam Gambhir - clearly not at his best after an elbow injury obtained when fielding - was out lbw to a typical Swann slider, India were in trouble at the lunch break.
Only three batsmen now stood in England's way. Sachin Tendulkar was the number one obstacle. The Little Master was far from masterful, a fever keeping him off the field on the fourth day, but he still had a determined manner to his game. Tendulkar almost refused to score, and when Broad - yet again bowling beautifully - had a convincing lbw appeal turned down, nerves began jangling for the England fan.
James Anderson, who had been the benefactor of Dravid and Laxman's dismissals, turned it back. Having bowled well below his usual standards in the first innings, Anderson came back to help clean the tail and finish with 2-87. In the second innings, he was back to his finest bowling seen in Australia. Tight lines, subtl movement, both conventional and reverse swing were all there. The game swung back to the England way when an Anderson inswinger pinned Tendulkar lbw.
Raina, who had forged a reputation as a firefghter, passed 50 as he and MS Dhoni made it to tea. They were India's last hope, and hope the England bowlers dashed as soon as they had the second new ball. Dhoni fenced at one from Tremlett and was caught behind, and nderson bouncer did for Harbhajan and Broad bowled a delivery much too good for Praveen Kumar, coming in from wide of off to hit middle. Raina himself survived an almost certain lbw dismissal - again off Broad - but by then England were rampant. Anderson found his outside edge to claim his five wickets, and the last man out was Ishant Sharma to Broad. England had won by 196 runs.
It seemed as though nothing could have stopped England's bowlers. They were up against the best batting lineup in the world. the deck was still good, and the umpiring and catching mistakes meant they needed to take 12 wickets, not nine. And yet they grabbed their chance by the throat.
What a match it was. What a day for England.
well written

Doesn't matter if an article isn't neutral if it isn't trying to be. It's clearly written from an England perspective and makes it much more interesting.
You can get a match report on plenty of other cricket sites, after all.

The reason I ask is because I never have, and they seem to do very well anyways..My two huge jades, have never seen one ounce of fertilizer at all..I was going to buy a cactus fertilizer, but held off..
I attended a C&S Society club and show, and a majority of the members said that the poorer the soil, meaning no nutrients, the better they do. Is this so? Many I know have never fertilized their jades for fear of green growth on their hummels.. Isn't it true that by nature, most of these plants grow in stone, crevices, sandy soils and grow perfectly fine without someone fertilizing them in the wild? Just curious how you all feel about this..If you do, or do not, what benefits do you recieve doing it your way.. Thank you.. Mike |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't fertilize my potted plants. I tend to repot a good number of them each year into new mix (richer, looser soil in the mix). This really allows the roots to spread and slowly uptake nutrients from the fresh organic material. The plants in the wild grow 'harder', meaning in a tighter, fatter form as opposed to leggy and loose in cultivation, and therefore slower as well. You can partly achieve that effect in cultivation by cutting back your plants, such as the jades. Plants in nature also get more acidic water which improves nutrient breakdown, as opposed to our alkalinic tap water. In the Cactus & Succulent Journal, Jul 2010 : Volume 82 Issue 4, Elton Roberts & Malcolm Burleigh write about using acidic water to improve xerophytic plant growth. Elton also gave us a presentation to our club on this topic. It's something worth exploring--but I'm not sure how that would affect variegates. |
I wonder about the need to fertilize if your growing in a mix that lacks any form of nutrient. I am now growing jades and a few of my cacti in 100% turface. I am sure that these plants would get some form of nutrition if they were grown in any other medium. Andrew |
I don't feed either. To add to what philo said hard grown(limited water and food) plants in full sun are hardier specimens. They can handle the temperature extremes without damage, whether it's very cold or hot. This is how I can get plants that are not to go below 50deg to be able to withstand sub freezing temps. |
caudex1: Have you made a comparative study, i.e. tried both hard grown plants and plants well watered + fertilized (during the growing period) in subfreezing temperatures? |
- Posted by norma_2006 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 10 at 1:54
Agreed to all of the above, that is why my Jades were able to put up with 20F temps. for 5 nights, and no damage, and my Schich hybrids loved it by showing me a mass of flowers in the months of April-until the end of October in the ground of course and not in pots. If you grow in pumice only then they will need food after every watering diluted way down of course during the growing season. Norma |
I've learned the hard way over the past 20yrs. Whenever I purchase plants from private collections or nurseries that pump up the their plants with food and water they inevitably succumb to the cold. The plant cells being full of moisture and epidermis stretched thin from being well watered the plant will freeze. By restricting water and food the plants become tough and can tolerate the low temps. (have 3 plants I'll have to watch closely this winter) In anticipation of the oncoming cold I stop watering at the beginning of Oct, this way the plant will loose some of its moisture reserves and be able to withstand 30deg (or lower). This does not work on every species, but it is surprising seeing what has survives year after year since I've been treating my plants this way. |

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what you are growing. If you want your Ariocarpus to have tight, authentic growth then fertilizing is minimal. But if you take a different cactus, say a hybrid Echinopsis that is grown primarily for flowers, then some extra nutrition will help create a better floral display. Small, compact succulents tend to do better with minimal added nutrition. Anything growing in a confined space is better off with less. Anything that is more desirable with shorter internodes or anything where you'd prefer stem mass vs. leaf mass, is better off with less nutrition. Anything in the ground needs little supplementation because the soil tends to have enough. But if you want your Pachypodium lamereii or Adenium to put on fast growth, some extra fertilizer will help. It seems that additional nutrition works best for tropical varieties. The bottom-line: over-fertilization may increase growth, but it won't be "quality" growth. Many succulents do not respond to fertilizer in the same manner as other plants. They don't grow that much faster, they just end up looking weaker and less natural. Most succulents by nature are slow growing and the extra fertilizer won't change that. They're not like Musa, Colocasia or Brugmansia which are nutrient hogs. More important is that micronutrients are present if you are growing in a predominantly inorganic mix. x |
As asked: Isn't it true that by nature, most of these plants grow in stone, crevices, sandy soils and grow perfectly fine without someone fertilizing them in the wild? Take a look at Sedonia Valley and see how well cactus can grow with out human intervention. However with millions of bats flying over there tops on a nightly basis and other wild life, insects and such living in this area I would say that there would be some level of NPK for them to use. It doesn't take much for things to grow in, on and even in between the cracks of rocks. Roots have a habit of finding what they need to survive and grow. It's people like us who try to replicate the ideal growing conditions of the things we grow. I assume that if one where to use fertilizers of the right type would provide a better ideal container growing condition. I also think there are far to many fertilizers that are for the better part highly over promoted and often over used. |

Isn't it true that by nature, most of these plants grow in stone, crevices, sandy soils and grow perfectly fine without someone fertilizing them in the wild? Actually, not really. Wild plants rarely look as perfect as we try to make our pampered domesticated plants. Life in nature is hard. Most don't survive, and those that do are often scarred, beat-up, and damaged. It's people like us who try to replicate the ideal growing conditions of the things we grow. The 'ideal' growing conditions for any plant are an idea, not something that actually occurs in nature very often. It is the way environmental elements like temperature, season, latitude, humidity, elevation, cloud cover, rain, soil type, nutrients, etc. interact with a plant's genes that results in a 'perfectly' grown plant. These conditions are probably found somewhere between the extremes of conditions that actually occur in habitat, but on any given day, things are rarely ideal. Growing hard in cultivation produces more 'normal' looking and tougher plants, but our babies will still probably look a lot better than most plants found in habitat. There are so many factors involved that growing well is more of an art than a science. Brad |
- Posted by xerophyte_nyc 7 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 9, 10 at 14:45
Some food for thought, along the lines of what Brad is pointing out: Just because a particular species grows in a niche environment, doesn't mean that it prefers this environment. It is probably more likely that such plant survives the niche, and other species haven't...so it appears as if such plant only grows in a specific niche or microclimate. That same plant may not fare well in a more "ideal" situation nearby because other species are in competition. For example, Dorstenia gypsophila is found in an area where the soil has a high gypsum content. A grower might want to replicate this. In reality, however, the plant may be better off in a more "normal" soil mix. It grows here not because of preference, but by default. x |
xerophyte_nyc said: >Just because a particular species grows in a niche environment, doesn't mean that it prefers this environment. >It is probably more likely that such plant survives the niche, and other species haven't...so it appears as if >such plant only grows in a specific niche or microclimate. This is all true. So the question we, as growers, have to ask ourselves: Am I going to try to duplicate that niche as well as I can, and strive for plants that look like they do in the wild? Or... Am I going to give my plants the best conditions so they will grow lush and green? Commercial growers obvious go for the latter. I try more for the former, but in the end, it's impossible, because there are so many variables (temperature ranges, moisture, substrate, etc.)...but I still think it's worth trying. -R |

Well said, X, Brad, and X! ;) Mike, I'm just starting to experiment with fertilizer on my succulents. For my more vigorous succulents, like Portulacaria afra, I'm mixing 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. In the Spring, I'll fertilize again around May. |
*** paracelsus ****The 'ideal' growing conditions for any plant are an idea, not something that actually occurs in nature very often. HUH ????????????? ***** xerophyte_nyc said: This is all true.

Am I going to give my plants the best conditions so they will grow lush and green? I'm going to step out on a frail limb here and say it seems a bit obvious at times. As read a few times from Al(We as growers) We should do whats right for the plant and not for us. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Daisy!
Facts about Daisy
- Breed: Bengal
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Daisy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Daisy is a 5-6 month old Bengal.
Other Pets at Cat Network of Stanislaus
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Daisy, a Modesto Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Modesto, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Modesto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Modesto already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Modesto breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bengal breeders who help with Bengal rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Modesto paves the way for another one to be saved.

Toys collected during annual drive line the shelves in unique giveaway program.
The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station's Annual Toy Drive enters the fun-filled stage this weekend. Santa Claus will join Sheriff's Department representatives and volunteer elves, as the doors open to the 2007 "Toy Store", where toys and other gifts will be distributed to less fortunate families from throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.
The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station's "Toy Store" concept is unique, in that it offers less fortunate parents the opportunity to be directly involved with "shopping" for their children's toys, rather than just being given a toy. The idea was developed four years ago and has proved to be a great success, allowing these families to directly take part in the true holiday spirit of giving. This concept also offers the parents the flexibility of choosing an age appropriate toy.
This year's "Toy Store" effort began several months ago when vouchers were issued to virtually every school in the Santa Clarita Valley. The vouchers were then given to families who were determined to be in need this holiday season. The families bring their voucher to the "Toy Store" this weekend, "shop" for a gift, have their children visit Santa Claus and then watch as Santa's helpers secretly wrap the gift to be given to the children on Christmas day. The "Toy Store" offers a fun and festive holiday environment and a unique feeling of giving for everyone involved.
Several residents, businesses, volunteer organizations, and virtually every school district in the Santa Clarita Valley graciously donated toys, bicycles, gift cards, money, wrapping paper and time to make the "Toy Store" possible and bring the true spirit of the holidays to all those who are less fortunate in our community this year.
Last year's "Toy Store" was visited by more than 300 families and 800 children. More than 8,000 toys and gifts were collected and distributed to those in need. "Nothing makes you feel better than helping those in need during the holiday season," said Captain Anthony La Berge. "We are very grateful to all those in the community who make the Toy Store possible year after year."
The College of the Canyons has graciously allowed the Sheriff's Department to use their facilities for this year's store.

APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) Scheme
The aim of the Scheme is to enhance the mobility of business travellers among the APEC economies, thus promoting business within the region.
The ABTC is plastic and the size of a credit card. It is normally valid for three years. The card is good for multiple visits of two to three months to participating economies without the need for a visa if pre-clearance has been granted.
For card holders travelling to a participating economy where pre-clearance has been granted, they can use the special service lanes at selected control points for entry and exit clearance and enjoy streamlined immigration clearance upon presentation of the card and their valid national passport. In Hong Kong, card holders are allowed to use "resident" counters where available.
Card holders can use the special service lanes at selected control points of participating economies regardless of whether pre-clearance has been granted by that economy. For card holders travelling to a participating economy where pre-clearance has not been granted, they are still subject to usual immigration clearance process, such as presenting valid passports and where applicable, valid visas.
Effective from November 19, 2006, card holders travelling to the United States can use the "fast-track" lanes (currently designated for aircrew) for passenger clearance at all international airports in the United States upon entry. However, ABTC holders are still subject to the usual immigration clearance process as applicable to other travellers, such as presenting valid passports and where applicable, valid visas for the United States. Should an ABTC holder require a visa for urgent business travel and find that there are no appointments available for the next working day, he/she may fax the US Consulate General's office at 2147 3586 to request a special appointment slot.
Since January 1, 2008, card holders have been able to use the special service lanes for passenger clearance at the major international airports in Canada upon entry. ABTC holders may follow signage with the APEC logo to access the lane. However, they are still subject to the usual immigration clearance process as applicable to other travellers, such as presenting valid passports and where applicable, valid visas for Canada.
Participating Economies
The APEC economies participating in the Scheme are :
- Australia
- Brunei Darussalam
- Chile
- People's Republic of China
- Hong Kong (China)
- Indonesia
- Japan
- Republic of Korea
- Malaysia
- Mexico
- New Zealand
- Papua New Guinea
- Peru
- The Philippines
- Russia
- Singapore
- Chinese Taipei
- Thailand
- Vietnam
A business person residing in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may apply for an ABTC if he/she:
- holds a Hong Kong permanent identity card and a valid national passport;
- has not previously been denied entry to any of the participating economies;
- has never been convicted of a criminal offence;
- must be a bona fide business person who needs to travel frequently on short term visits within the APEC region to fulfil business commitments.
A bona fide business person is taken to mean a person who is engaged in the trade of goods, the provision of services or the conduct of investment activities. It does not include entertainers, musicians, artists or persons engaged in similar occupations.
Application Form Completion and Submission
As the application will be referred to other participating APEC economies, the application form (ID900)should be completed in English in block letters and black or blue ink, with your photograph affixed on it and enclosed with :
- a photocopy of your Hong Kong permanent identity card (only the side with your personal particulars and photograph is required);
- a photocopy of your valid passport showing your personal particulars, nationality, dates of issue and expiry;
- another identical photograph of yourself; and
- a letter from your employing company supporting your application.
With effect from November 1, 2008, you may nominate a maximum of five economies which you need to visit as a priority when you submit your application. The nominated economies will expedite the processing of your application as far as possible. Nomination of economies is optional. If you wish to make the nomination, please complete the "Options for receiving an interim card" (SF/IM/1609) and submit it together with your application.
The completed application form and "Options for receiving an interim card" (if applicable) should be sent by post or in person to the Other Visas and Permits Section, Immigration Department, 7/F, Immigration Tower, 7 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
The current prescribed fee for new issue of the card is HK$427; a fee of HK$165 will be charged for card replacement for the remainder of its validity period. The fee is payable upon collection in cash, by EPS, by cashier order, bank draft or crossed cheque made payable either to "The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" or "The Government of the HKSAR". Cash should not be sent.
Issue and Collection
The card will be issued to you if you have fully met the eligibility criteria and have been pre-cleared by at least one APEC economy.
You may collect the card either in person or authorise a representative to do it on your behalf. Upon collection, you/your authorised representative must produce your original valid passport for inspection if this has not been done when you submit the application.
Additional Information
If you wish to get more information about the Scheme, please contact us on telephone number (852) 2824 6111, by fax (852) 2877 7711 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also visit the APEC official website for further information on the Scheme.

Creamy, pale peach with a pearl white microshimmer that lightens lips slightly with dewy pearl sheen. I like the color as it makes blue eyes look clear and sparkling and it gives my very fair skin the illusion of a tan in summer. The texture feels very smooth and creamy, doesn't go into lines but must go other balm or it highlights the rough bits (like 90% of all pale shades do). Also, its best applied with a lip brush. If you do use fingers, only apply a tiny tiny dot and blend out into a thin layer. If you cake it on too thick with fingers it looks like you've just applied crazy glue. The pans slot into the same size pans as MAC's. I love these but still won't repurchase for one reason - I find the scent they add to this disgusting. Like rotting chemicals, plastic and crayons?
More reviews by Passionfruit82
this color is way too light,it's unflattering on me.I even tried it as a cream blush,but it doesn't show up,and I have a light skintone.The formula is ok,it's quite opaqe and long lasting,and drying
This is a nude peach color, for my complexion I have trouble wearing lighter colors except when applied sheer. Basically if you are looking to experiment with nudes or peaches to see if they look good on you, try this one, since if the color is not flattering you aren't out more than a buck, and then you can apply it as a sheer layer over chapstick or something to make it less opaque if needed.
I find this to be very little products for a bucks. The color looks nice in the pan but it doesn't look good on my skin (NC35). It looks so light and made my lips look so wash out. Wish it was more sheer than opaque. The lasting power is not that great either, it doesn't last longer than a couple of hours.
This is a really pretty color in the pot, but leaves a white line around my outer lips which is not attractive. Might look better on other people.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Peaches is a very pretty coral. There is a slight sparkle. It goes on sheerly but leaves a really gorgeous hint of color. I apply this with a brush. The formula isn't drying but its not super moisterising either so I wear chapstick under it. I will rebuy this when I run out.

I came across this while looking for party supplies for Aaron's 2nd birthday. It cracked me up. It's just a perfect example of how spot on Disney is with their marketing.

The most important thing with using minis in Deathwatch is establishing the scale. The Rulebook recommends having 1 inch = 1 meter; my experience is that that makes it too easy for combat to spill off the kitchen table… I recommend using 1/2 inch = 1 meter, or even 1 cm = 1 meter.

Oh, and to represent Hordes on the tabletop: I didn't really care for the two suggested methods from the books (1 fig = 1 Magnitude, which is wildly impractical, or 1 fig representing an entire Horde, which has no visual 'drama'- which, let's face it, is the main reason to use minis). The compromise that I came up with is to cut out discs of cardboard (about the size of a CD) and set a number of figures on it equal to the '10s' digit of the Horde's Magnitude, taking away figs as needed as the Horde takes damage. I've found this works smoothly, giving the PCs a good idea of the size of a Horde without letting them know it's exact Magnitude, and the discs are easy to move around the board.

Some of my favorite books are:
The Herbalist of Yarrow by Shatoiya de la Tour - a young girl learns the importance of herbs and their healing powers. Elfait - an ABC of Elves by Jane Yolen- each page has plants and animals that begin with each letter of the alphabet. Apricot ABC by Miska Miles - an apricot falls from the tree and as each animal and insect comes to investigate, it slowly evolves from seed to a new tree. Bear and Bunny Grow Tomatoes by Bruce Koscielniak - Bear tends his garden everyday, Bunny is very lazy and does not. In the end Bear has all the vegetables but is kind enough to share with Bunny. I read to my daughter alot and being that I am a gardener and she spends a lot of time outside with me, I would love to have some other suggestions to add to our library. Thanks so much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know your daughter's age, but I teach four-year-olds and have many nice picture books in the classroom library, some about nature and gardening (I will add your suggestions to my shopping list). I'm on summer vacation now, but these are a few good ones I can recall: My Big Book of Outdoors - nature -- Janene |

"Lily is a wonderfully petulant and self-absorbed adolescent, and Kidd deftly portrays her sense of injustice as it expands to accommodate broader social evils. At the same time the political aspects of Lily's growth never threaten to overwhelm the personal. The core of this story is Lily's search for a mother, and she finds one in a place she never expected…. She finds her Madonna in a woman named August Boatwright, the proprietor of a honey farm that's a harbor of quiet civility. August and her sisters, June and May, are no mere vehicles for Lily's salvation; they are individuals as fully imagined as the sweltering, kudzu-carpeted landscape that surrounds them."—The New York Times Book Review
"Lily Melissa Owens… the brave girl at the heart of this novel… frees her babysitter, a black maid who has been abused by several white men and put in jail for it, and the two of them follow Lily's instincts to safety. The Secret Life of Bees is one of those novels that leaves a reader more confident: Heck, if this kid could do it, so can I."—The Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Populated with rich, believable characters and propelled by a swiftly paced plot, this debut novel is a cut above most coming-of-age tales. You'll be glad you went along for the ride. Bottom line: Buzz-worthy."—People Magazine
"Sue Monk Kidd is an extraordinary storyteller. Beautifully written."—Ursula Hegi
"A wonderful novel about mothers and daughters and the transcendent power of love."—Connie May fowler
"With imagination as lush and colorful as the American South, a clutch of deliciously eccentric characters and vivid prose, Sue Monk Kidd creates a rich, maternal haven in a harsh world."—Christina Schwarz
"A truly original Southern voice." —Anita Shreve
"The tale of one motherless daughter's discovery of what family really means—and of the strange and wonderful places we find love." —The Washington Post
"A moving first novel…Lily is an authentic and winning character and her story is compellingly told. The bees presage her journey toward self-acceptance, faith and freedom." —USA Today
"…Sue Monk Kidd is a direct literary descendant of Carson McCullers." —The Baltimore Sun

Scottish National Party press release
Welcoming Parliament's Stage 1 approval of the Welfare Reform (Further Provision) (Scotland) Bill, SNP MSP Jamie Hepburn, Deputy Convener of the Welfare Reform Committee, commented:
"The potential impact of the UK Government's welfare reforms on many disabled and vulnerable people in Scotland is highly concerning but the SNP are committed to protecting as much as possible the most vulnerable in our society from its impact.
"Providing that this Bill is passed swiftly, the legislation stemming from it can be in place for the start of the new welfare system in April 2013, which will ensure that individuals and families continue to receive what can be lifeline benefits.
"It is very sad that the Labour party's position appears to be that it is better to live with Tory cuts than to take responsibility for these matters ourselves.
"With independence, we could be taking these vital decisions right here in Scotland, helping to build the fairer Scotland we all want to see."

CALIFORNIA, October 27, 2012 – Anyone that tries to help a friend or family member in bondage to destructive behaviors can testify to the power of denial. The emotional investment to justify actions or beliefs any objective bystander would clearly reject is both hard to understand or reason with.
I was reminded of this human failing while listening to talk radio (The Mike Slater Show, KFMB AM 760 San Diego CA). When our thoughts, desires and lives become identified with someone else, that person becomes the truth through which reality is judged. Reason and facts are replaced by an emotional attachment, an artificial "reality" through which any person daring to disagree will be immediately branded as ignorant, a liar, mean-spirited or some other favorite epitaph (xenophobic, homophobic, racist, etc.).
Denial can be common towards sports idols, when fans can't accept their guy isn't the perfect athlete (e.g., Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong), or towards nationally known televangelists (e.g., Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker), or anyone else placed on a superhuman pedestal. Extreme cases can border on the pathological, as when major historical events are completely disbelieved (e.g., the Holocaust, the moon landing).
As hard as it is to accept, denial of objective political reality appears to afflict almost half of this country. I'm not referring to denial of one's own personal failings; I'm talking about an irrational lack of objectivity towards the most powerful office holder in the world – President Obama. It's not misperception resulting from media bias, or the natural desire to emphasize strengths while glossing over weaknesses. The problem is a sustained emotional attachment that's incapable of considering objective reality (2 Timothy 3:7).
Think back to the heady days of the 2008 Presidential election with the emotional hysteria and veneration of a man that nobody really knew. Obama grew up under troublesome ideological influences, had no competitive job or market based business experience, served inconsequentially in elective office, and claimed a Christian faith with little, if any, apparent acceptance of orthodox beliefs. However, Obama had a gift for oratory with a statesman-like veneer that played to emotion over reason (Ephesians 5:6). He was also a sharp contrast to the older, white, political establishment John McCain. By appealing to racial realities, minority resentment, victimhood, and white guilt, the Obama campaign fed the weaknesses of human nature and shrouded what it was doing with noble sounding higher purposes (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
It's been four years, and now a public record is available to judge the "hope and change" rhetoric. Do we have a President: who reached across the aisle or who has alienated Congress; who understands the war on terror or who sees evil only on our own shores; who cut the federal deficit in half or who pushed it to catastrophic proportions? Do we have a President who accepts responsibility or who routinely blames others, who is more concerned about daily intelligence briefings or about his next TV guest appearance? Does he work hard to heal racial tensions or play to ethnic and class differences? Does he understand the economy, market dynamics and the need for personal initiative, or does he see government as an all knowing, all powerful parent? Ask also, has traditional marriage been encouraged, sanctify of life promoted, our military strengthened, employment rates improved, and our enemies put on notice?
Obama's broken ideological worldview, supported by a large base of emotional groupies, has been tried many times in other countries and always found wanting (Jeremiah 23:16-18). If the last four years tell us anything, it's that another four years would be catastrophic for societal relations, our economy, and world affairs.
This election, the choice is to continue with incompetent presidential leadership and further national disintegration, or to apply tough love intervention to protect the uniqueness of our liberties and freedoms (Proverbs 27:6a). In our form of government, it's easier to bring about change through elections than by trying to change a politician (Jeremiah 13:23) or a large electorate emotionally co-dependent on a man who's never been what he appeared to be.
In November, if those in denial vote in greater numbers than those who clearly see the danger, there's little prospect that intervention by reality and reason will prevail by the next time around (Proverbs 13:18). May we intervene where we can; may we continue to point out the destructive path of false hope to everyone who will listen; and may the Lord help us all this November.

Clean, flat sites with gravel or concrete pads. Some areas are hilly and I didn't notice if those sits were flat. Roads are adequate. Large dog park in a treed area, but it might be quite a hike from the far side of the park. Gravel sites do have a concrete patio area that accommodates a picnic table. There are a variety of camping and meeting areas and a large fire pit in an area with porch heaters. Wi-Fi and cable. Treats for humans and dogs were given to us at check in. We were on a tour and did not pay or make arrangements. - Dreaming
Stayed one night. Very nice CG. Easy walk to market and three restaurants. We stayed in a pull-through with 39 ft rig. Some turns in park can be narrow but no big deal. Will stay here again. - Baddad53
Excellent showers, good laundry room, uber-friendly staff. Close for exploring the quaint Danish village of Solvang. Last time in the area, we spent $95 to stay at another park. This will be our new highway 101 stop. - from Latte Land

On Leadership Journeys, girls learn the benefits of the Girl Scout "Keys to Leadership": Discover, Connect, Take Action, and have a great time!
Girl Scout Brownies work together as they earn Journeys and badges, plan field trips, and make a difference in their communities. They make new friends, explore new places, and develop as leaders through a growing variety of age-appropriate activities and options.
The Camp Pathway features day, weekend and resident experiences that introduce and explore the out-of-doors. A defining characteristic of this Pathway is that it is an outdoor, condensed experience.
Not ready to stay overnight, but still want to swim, play games, make crafts, and even learn to cook outside? Our day camps are a great way for girls to stay in scouting over the summer, while gaining independence and making new friends. Feeling more adventurous? Think about staying overnight for a week at Camp Farnsworth.
The Events Pathway offers girls flexibility in planning their Girl Scouting experience. Girls can choose to join our more structured Events Pathway Groups, attending 4 events with the same group and completing a Journey, or they can attend any of our events a la carte as their schedules allow. Interested in the Events Pathway Groups? Click on one of the locations below to find out more!
Vermont Daisy/Brownie Events Pathway Group [1]
New Hampshire Daisy/Brownie Events Pathway Group [2]
Series offerings are a sequence of linked program sessions - offered by the Council or community partners - that relate to a specific theme or purpose and feature cumulative, sequential experiential learning. Each girl chooses to participate in the entire series as a complete program package; series may be short-term or longer-term. The intent is to engage the same group of girls throughout the entire series of program opportunities.
Jump-In [3]
Our best known Girl Scout option- join a group of girls and work together while you attend programs, earn badges, and try new things!
The Troop Pathway offers the same group of girls the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, usually over the span of nine to twelve months. Girls may join at any time during the troop year. Troops can camp, attend council events, and travel as a group all through the Troop Pathway!
Schedule too packed? Participate in a Virtual Pathway program and log on to an online Girl Scout community that provides girls the opportunity to participate in Girl Scouting without regard to geographic location. Girls will be divided into program level groups and will have monthly meetings through a virtual format using secure websites and webinars.
Earn badges and meet girls from all over New Hampshire and Vermont in a Virtual Troop! Girls participate in monthly online meetings and an in person Take Action project at the end of the year. Participate in one-time events with girls around the Council and learn new computer skills at a class.
