In "Faithful Journeys," a Tapestry of Faith program
With telescopes and binoculars, go outside in the dark and enjoy the night sky. Point out particular constellations or planets if you can, or provide books and other resources to help everyone identify them. Invite participants to gaze at the stars and find their own images or patterns. Say something like:
Learning and asking questions is an important part of Unitarian Universalism. One way we learn is by studying the world around us. When we seek to learn or help others learn by observing and asking questions, we act on our fourth Principle, the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
If a space or astronomy enthusiast is with you, invite children to ask questions. Write down any questions you cannot answer; suggest to parents they research the answers together with their children at home.
Gather the group for closure to your Night Sky Adventure. Guide the children to articulate their experience of looking, wondering, and researching about space as statements of their own faithful action — statements they might add to the Faithful Journeys Path in your meeting space. For example, "I looked carefully at the lights in the sky and asked which ones were planets, stars, or airplanes flying by." / "I compared the sky to the pictures in the book to see if I could find the constellation Orion." / "I realized the sky looks different through a telescope." Next time you meet, invite children who shared this experience to post a Faithful Footstep about their fourth Principle actions. A few may have post-Night Sky research to report!
To include participants with limited mobility, find an accessible location for your Night Sky Adventure. Invite participants who are blind to share their observations and wonderings about night noises and other sensations outdoors and how the night seems different from the daytime.

Java Collections: An Introduction to Abstract Data Types, Data Structures and AlgorithmsISBN: 978-0-471-89978-5
566 pages
March 2001, ©2001
Paying close attention to the Java 2 collection classes, this book is designed to give programmers the ability to choose the best collection classes for each application. The focus of the book is on abstract data types (ADTs) that turn up again and again in software design. It will use these ADTs to introduce the data structures required to implement them and the algorithms associated with the data structures.
Suitable for a first course in algorithms and data structures, or a second course in programming using Java, this text offers a unique angle by concentrating on the in-built collection classes in Java 2, enabling more emphasis on software design, and less on theory.
Primarily targetted at students of computer science or information technology, but also of interest to professional programmers and software engineers who are retraining to program in Java.

SPOKANE — A disciple of former Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler wants to build a new compound in Northern Idaho for white supremacists, a development that troubles human-rights groups that spent decades battling Butler and his group.
Shaun Winkler, who unsuccessfully ran for sheriff of Bonner County this year, said a supporter is donating 8 acres near the town of Priest River that he hopes to develop into a place for white supremacists to conduct meetings, cross burnings and other activities.
"I'm just one guy that wants to bring people together to continue the struggle for white survival," Winkler, 33, told The Associated Press this week.
Butler's high-profile Aryan Nations activity tainted Northern Idaho's image, and local rights groups are wary of a potential new hub for racist activity.
"Our work has to go on to promote equality and justice and fairness," said Tony Stewart, a leader of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations. Human-rights groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, are raising awareness. There are no active efforts to thwart Winkler.
The task force and the Southern Poverty Law Center combined to push a civil lawsuit that bankrupted the Aryan Nations in 2000, leading to the sale of its compound. Butler died in 2004.
Winkler declined to identify his benefactor, other than to say he was a former Los Angeles police officer who had supported Winkler's bid for sheriff. Aryan Nations was structured as a church of the white supremacist Christian Identity religion, and Winkler said the new compound will include a church hall for services and places for supporters to live.
Winkler described himself as an imperial wizard in the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and said the compound will operate under a flag of the KKK.
"This is an early step," he said. "It's not going to happen overnight."
He considers himself a white separatist, who believes people of different races should have segregated lives.
"We aren't here to kill anybody. We aren't here to cause harm to anyone," he said. "We just don't want nothing to do with their society."
Bonner County, like much of the rest of the region, has a population that is overwhelmingly white — about 96 percent of the 40,000 residents.
Winkler studied the racist Christian Identity religion under Butler. He has continued to live in the area, sometimes hosting cross burnings on his land and protesting the presence of Hispanics and other minorities. Winkler has picketed Mexican food carts in nearby Coeur d'Alene, and protested the annual Martin Luther King Jr. events at North Idaho College in January.
Butler for nearly three decades operated out of a 20-acre compound that became a gathering place for white supremacists. He held annual meetings that drew hundreds of supporters.

Although often the smallest in terms of space, your home's bathroom(s) are arguably the most needed rooms in your entire home. Making your bathroom functional and beautiful requires some forethought and planning. Here we run down some of the must-haves for the modern bath that you should consider for your own bathroom. While some of these must-haves are best installed during the initial construction of your home, many of them can easily be added later on and can save you tons of money over the cost of future repairs while helping keep your family safe.
Stop Valves at Every Faucet and Fixture (and Access Panels)
Our first must-have will save you a lot of heartache in the future if you have a plumbing problem. Stop valves are used to cut the flow of water to a fixture in the event of emergencies so that you can repair the problem without shutting off water to the entire home. All of your fixtures, faucets, and showers in the bathroom, kitchen, basement, and laundry room should have cut-off valves or stop valves installed. And while the stop valve is a necessity, if you can't get to the valve it's useless - which is why you need access panels for the valves to allow for quick access.

Grab Bars in Needed Areas One of the leading causes of injury in the home are due to falls in the bathroom. Grab bars reduce the risk of injury in the bathroom and are very nominally priced and easy to install (just anchor to the studs in your bathroom's wall). Grab bars are optimally place in the tub area, shower area, and toileting area. A grab bar can support the weight of the average adult who loses their balance or slips in water - and if they prevent just one fall, installing a grab bar is money well-spent. Again, if you have elderly people living in your home, this is a definite must-have. Shop our Entire Collection of Grab Bars! |

About a month and a half ago, I moved my lemon tree from a commercial peat based mix into the 5-1-1 mix, though I left out the peat and the lime/gypsum portions. When I repotted, I cut off at least 2/3 of the roots. I have got a wooden dowel in the mix to monitor moisture level, and I have been watering before it dries out, every 3 to 4 days. I am feeding with FP at 1/4 teaspoon per gallon at every watering. Until about 2 weeks ago, I had been adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the solution because that volume was stuck in my head for some reason. I decided to check the pH and found that it was at 4.5! So I cut back to 1/4 teaspoon of vinegar per gallon. I haven't yet tested the pH of the new solution, but it is roughly 10x less vinegar so I am guessing that it is probably a little above pH 5.5 (but I will be testing soon). And when I water, probably about 1/2 of the water drains out. I've got the tree inside facing east so the tree gets some sun but probably not enough, but it's the best I can do. About 4 weeks ago I noticed a some yellowing leaves. Then the tree got better. About 2 weeks ago, the yellowing came back. I have been advised that leaving the lime out of the mix was a mistake but have also read that it is OK to leave out because the pH of the water matters more and I have Mg/Ca in the fertilizer solution. So, I am a bit confused when it comes to this subject. I am looking for suggestions on what to do. Should I take it out of the pot and add some lime? Should I flush with tap water (pH around 6.5) to sort of flush out the acidity? Or does it sound like my problem is unrelated to pH? Thanks, |

Which leaves are yellowing? Perhaps a heavier, less frequent dose of Foliage Pro would help. Have you checked the plant for pests?
Josh |
Hi Josh - thank you for your response The lower leaves are yellowing - but they also happen to be the newer/smaller leaves (over the summer there was a greasy spot infection and lots of leaves were lost and subsequently replaced when new branches grew). Why do you think a different dosing of FP will help? I do not see any pests. There are a bunch of gnats that seem attracted to the plant - which may mean I am overwatering. Is that possible with the fast draining mixes? |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 18, 13 at 8:06
Yes, over watering is possible in your mix especially if the particle sizes are not uniform, about the same size through out the whole of the mix, or if your finer particles have settled toward the bottom. It is also possible to over water when your plant is residing indoors since root function has dramatically slowed down with less light and cooler temps, to go along with that a pouting plant with probably consistanty wet feet. That's why many of us here use wooden dowels or wooden barbecue/skewer sticks and check way down towards the bottom of the pot. Make sure there is almost no moisture on your sticks after you pull it out before you water again throughly. You would be surprise how deceptive it can be when you think your mix is dry, especially towards the bottom or within the root ball. What concerns me is that you have fungus gnats. I have never had a fungus gnat in properly made mixes. Both Houston and Josh have brought up great points. If your tree is suffering, I would address the root situation and your mix first, before you take the steps to rectify the portion of your plant above the soil level making certain there are no pests attacking the top portion which does affect root function. Mike:-) |

Mike, Thanks for taking the time to answer, I appreciate all the help and patience that all of you give to those of us just starting out. You are right - determining moisture can be difficult. I had the wooden dowel up too high. When I inserted it deeper into the pot, I found it to be very moist indeed. I have cut back on the watering; I haven't watered for a week. Maybe that will also eliminate the gnats. I haven't noticed any newly yellow leaves for a few days, so I am hoping that correcting for the very low water pH has also had a positive effect on absorption. As for the fixing the mix, I wouldn't know where to start improving it. Well, I've got some ideas... Maybe, some of the bark pieces are too big compared to perlite(the bark was screened through a 1/2 inch screen and the perlite was rinsed over insect screen). Is the bark too big or the perlite too small? Here's a picture. Any other suggestions for improvement are welcome. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Jan 22, 13 at 13:42
Hey, Mike! Well, Jm, the bark definitely has a few large pieces, but the overall texture isn't terrible. Since you'll be watering less often, and thus fertigating less often, I think a stronger dose of FP
Josh |
Thanks Josh, I remember you telling me about the purpose of the peat from a previous post - and if it turns out I need to fix this batch of mix, I do plan to add it in. I will also increase the FP to 1/2 strength. Hopefully that will do the trick. I will post any good or bad results once I have had time to determine how well these changes have worked. John |
Well, the leaves are still yellowing, so today I removed it from the mix and added in the peat and lime that Josh previously suggested. When I took the tree out, the mix was evenly moist but the root ball was pretty dry. I think that I did not incorporate the mix into the roots very well the first time around. I hope that I did better this time -- and hopefully it's not too late. |
- Posted by jojosplants 9/ Tucson, Az. (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 22:59
Hi John, When you took your tree out of the commercial mix, did you bare root it into the 5-1-1 or did you leave some of the old mix on/around the roots? I ask because you say the root ball was dry and you may not have gotten the mix in around the roots well enough. If the mix was left on it could have become so dry that it repelled water. I hope I am making sense.. my chicken is pestering me! lol..long story. lol... Also... I too hope your tree makes a great come back! Josh and Mike are some of the best help you can get here. :-) (Hi guys!) JoJo |
When I moved the tree out of the commercial mix, I cut off the bottom roots and then cut 3 wedges from what remained. I then used a hose to wash out as much of the old stuff as I could - but couldn't get it all out of the densely packed roots. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 12:54
John, You did what you could and gave your tree a much chance at survival, optimum growth and a good comeback in a much better mix as the roots will spread into the mix surrounding the mix you couldn't get out. That's what's nice about it:-) Hello Jojo! Josh! Mike |
- Posted by jojosplants 9/ Tucson, Az. (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 19:19
Hi John, It makes sense now how the root ball could be dry. It sounds to me like your mix is fine. I've planted the same as you, cutting out the wedge. Sounds like you did things right to me. I agree with Mike. Ditto... :-) JoJo |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 13 at 12:20
Hi John How did it turn out? We always love updates...:-) Hello Jojo, Josh, and Houston Mike |
Hi Mike - I was just coming back to post an update and saw your message. The tree is responding very well. It is sturdier than it was the first time (since I did a better job packing the mix around root ball). It is putting out little flower buds. There was one bud that popped up in early December when I did the first potting and it just stayed the same size for a month; but now it is probably 3 or 4 times bigger - and there are other flower buds. I have not seen anymore yellow leaves and the gnats have left! I've gotten more comfortable monitoring the moisture level so I am not overwatering (at least 10 days between waterings). It had a rough year; it lost lots of leaves and branches to a greasy spot infection. So I might pinch most (or all) of the flowers off and let it spend energy on recovering. Thanks to Josh, Mike, Jojo, and Houston for your responses. They were much appreciated. |

Drake Hotel
Toronto, Ontario, M6J 1J3, Canada
Toronto's West Queen West is a neighborhood in flux, where appliance stores, art galleries, and places like Camera, a screening-room bar owned by filmmaker Atom Egoyan, exist cheek by jowl. In 2001, when Canadian entrepreneur Jeff Stober first walked into the Drake Hotel, a former flophouse on a gritty stretch, he saw its potential and set about fashioning a hub for the area's creative types. The style of the 19 rooms is beyond eclectic: floral wallpaper, sock dolls crafted by a local artist, transparent ottomans with visible springs, ladders leading up to an overhead storage space. Downstairs, the dining-room walls are covered in trippy flocked Rorschach blots, and the lounge has leather booths and red velvet banquettes. The hotel employs an in-house curator who arranges shows in the lobby exhibition space and manages an artist-in-residence program. Permanent art displays are peppered throughout the building, from a light installation made from bicycle parts in the café to a Bums and Chests piece made from postcards in a men's lavatory.

There's a solventy, cleaner smelling thng happening too - a little Pine-Sol. It's kind of like a recently emptied grain elevator - definitely something metallic in the background.
P: Surprisingly a little thin on the palate. Again there's the oil and solvent, a little pine, funky rye note. Way in the back is a little vanilla, a little toffee, both trying to peek otu. Not particularly warm and late there's a note of marzipan. It wants to settle on a little sweet note but there's too much to distract.
F: Dries out, shows a little wood and lasts reasonably long. There's some hints of caramel. It's also a little bitter. Some turbinado sugar for good measure.
The palate is completely chaotic to me. The sour nose and unrefined sugar makes it seem relatively young. The noe is a really unfocused, sloppy Woodford nose. As with the vast majority of the Masters series, this is not an improvement.
(Same bottle as Sku).

Nemesis Challenge: No Pain, No Gain. A ½ Marathon 2013 NEW Updates 2/20 NEW
Ever since I found the DISboards, I've met some great people. It is weird that you can tell a persons personality from what they type on a computer screen. Some people you 'click' with and others... well, become what can be only called as your nemesis. According to Webster, a NEMESIS is a formidable and usually victorious rival or opponent. I've found my nemesis here on the DIS. What better way to strike fear into his soul than to challenge him to run in the Walt Disney World 1/2 marathon? Neither of us were runners. His wife was also 7 months pregnant at the time. It went down like this:
Thursday Feb 16th 10:47am Tim: So I had this crazy idea. Im not sure if this is the right time for you though with the baby on the way. What if we had a marathon challenge and run in the January ½ marathon. Ive never run one before. Maybe this would be a way to get myself into shape. Barry: Hmmm& Interesting. You calling me fat? I could use the motivation too- I ran that 5K back in September but barely lifted my feet since then. And with those simple texts, our Nemesis Challenge was born. PTR is HERE Not only was this 1/2 marathon a running first, but this was the first time my DW & I have been to Disney without our kids. I guess I should tell you who we are.. I'm Tim and that beautiful woman standing with me is Melody.. Not only was this the weekend of our marathon challenge, but a group of guys here on the DIS, the SELF PROCLAIMED DISDads, were having their convention in WDW during this weekend. I'm sure you'll see them pop in here from time to time. Let me apologize to you all ahead of time. This is a 4 day TR about running, friends- new and old, and an adults only trip to WDW!
Surprise! We're NOT going to Disney! In Progress This is the last trip the 4 of us ever take to WDW. TR Nemesis Challenge: No Pain, No Gain. A ½ Marathon 2013 TR DISDad MEMBER #330 Just when you thought you've seen all the MAGIC!! A WISH for Cold Tea? Ana's aMAWzing Disney Trip! Family, Friends, & Celebrities- A MAGICAL Birthday Sweating through 6 days at POP 'I think we ate at every character meal' TR Last edited by that's nice; 02-20-2013 at 03:07 PM. |

text: Skylar Grey gets around. Wait, that didn't come out right, did it? She already had Eminem on her "C'Mon Let Me Ride" track, which Valentino Khan remixed. Rumor has it that she's worked on a track with RiFF RAFF and Skrillex, and now we see that Imanos, who seems to be on an eternal grind, linked up with Faustix to give her latest track "Final Warning" a trap rework (which comes to us about a month after their "Body Party" rerub). It's more of a midtempo romp, with Skylar's vocals getting the stutter workout over a calm bounce. No word on when this one drops, but it is an official tissue rework, so props to him. And to skylar, who seems to be mad open to the trap set.

A sandbagging brigade from the city of Laurel and CHS Refinery saved the city's water plant from the rising Yellowstone River on Wednesday.
Kurt Markegard, Laurel's public works director, said the crew built an emergency berm about 5 feet tall and 200 feet long to hold back the water along the north bank of the river. The water plant is on the east side of the bridge south of Laurel.
"Everything will be fine," Markegard said. "We're pumping right now."
A two-person shift will remain at the plant to monitor the berm and to pump water seeping through back into the river, he said.
Things weren't so fine Wednesday morning when Markegard went to check for flooding damage at the plant and at Riverside Park, which has a boat ramp and buildings along the south bank of the river. The river was rising and was about 2 feet from going over the north bank.
Markegard contacted the nearby refinery for help and called Duane Winslow, the county's disaster and emergency services coordinator.
The city began working on the berm by the water plant almost two weeks ago, in preparation for mountain runoff, but rains prevented any substantial work from being completed, Markegard said.
The city's 16-person crew worked most of the day to save the plant, he said.
The refinery supplied 50 people, including contract workers, to help fill and place sandbags, said CHS Refinery Manager Pat Kimmet. The refinery also bought sandbags and supplied portable concrete barriers.
"We always work really well with the city," Kimmet said. Refinery operations have not been affected by the rising river, he said, "but we do depend on the city of Laurel for water."
The rising water also prompted Laurel to close Riverside Park.
"The south bank is eroding. We're not trying to save the south bank," Markegard said. He called the boat ramp "non-existent at this time. It's all underwater."
The city gave organizations that use park buildings time Wednesday morning to remove items before closing the park.
Laurel also faced threats from two upstream canals where the river had begun flowing in. Markegard said both ditch companies took emergency steps to divert the water.
The Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office said at 10:30 p.m. that the refinery advised it could lose a headgate overnight, which would result in more flooding.
The Laurel mayor also declared an emergency for the city in conjunction with a county emergency declared Tuesday. Markegard said the city council is expected to affirm the declaration next week.
Elsewhere in Yellowstone County, floods seemed to be retreating as skies stayed mostly dry, giving residents a reprieve after a record 3-inch deluge hit Billings on Tuesday.
Winslow said Pryor Creek had receded a little after rising a couple of feet on Tuesday night. No additional damage from Pryor Creek was reported.
Yellowstone County officials said Wednesday afternoon that they're looking at options to pay for damage from floods caused by heavy rains over the last two weeks.
Commissioner Jim Reno said commissioners are likely to implement a 2-mill emergency levy, worth about $500,000, to help cover the extra costs of repairing the damage across the county.
"I don't think it's a question of if (we'll do it), but of when," he said.
Winslow said that since the county and the state of Montana have declared a state of emergency due to the flooding, it opens up new sources, including the possibility of federal dollars.
"It's sad when you're considered for FEMA, but that's the way we may be heading," Reno said.
While a dollar estimate on flood damage wasn't available, Winslow said "it's a lot."
Tim Miller, the county's public works director, said there are 35 to 45 areas that will need repairs once the flooding ends, including about a half-dozen in need of major repairs.
"But so far we've been lucky and all the bridges have stayed in place," he said.
Officials have sold about 10,000 sandbags to residents at 35 cents each to help keep waters at bay. Winslow said bags are available at the county's shop at 3321 King Ave. E., and can be filled there or from a large sand pile across from Newman Elementary.
Another 30,000 bags have been ordered and are expected to arrive Friday. The Worden Fire Department also picked up 1,000 bags and has sand available at the fire station for residents in that area.
Officials also said the Yellowstone River near Billings was expected to top its flood stage by midnight and that lowland flooding could occur. With current rises, the river will top its flood stage of 13 feet and could hit 14 feet, Winslow said.
"It sounds like tonight should be the worst part of that," he said.
By 7 p.m., lowland areas around Coulson Park and Norm Schoenthal Island were already flooded. People who live near the river from Stillwater County to Yellowstone County are advised to move any property or livestock away from the river.
Around the same time flooding in Coulson began, a handful of people who live in the Island Park Road area along the river's south side began leaving their homes, Sheriff's Sgt. Ken Thompson said.
No mandatory evacuations were ordered, but Thompson said deputies recommended to people living in the area that they leave their homes for the night.
"There's a little concern because the river is rising," he said. "The houses on the north side of that intersection, most of the people had already left when we got there."
Winslow cautioned that the river could see much worse flooding later this spring due to the melting of record snowpack and moisture levels in nearby mountains, which feed the river.
"Just keep in mind we've got a big water event that's coming," he said. "This is not a joke."
Rain and floodwater from the Musselshell River have delayed indefinitely the opening of The Charles M. Bair Family Art Museum in Martinsdale, which had been scheduled for Friday.
Corby Skinner, spokesman for the museum, said the museum and barn are dry, but the parking area is wet and muddy and the Bair home was partially flooded, too.
Community efforts to divert water were unsuccessful. A backhoe from a Hutterite colony sank in the mud, he said.
Staff members and area residents moved furniture from the lower level of the Bair home to the second floor Wednesday morning to get it out of the water.
None of the Western art, which is located in the new museum on the grounds of the Bair home, was damaged because water did not get into the museum.
Petroleum County commissioners declared a state of emergency Thursday due to widespread flooding. A press release from Sheriff William Cassell said McDonald, Box Elder and Flatwillow creeks, as well as the Musselshell River, "are all well out of their banks."
The river near Mosby was at 13.82 feet, nearly 6 feet above its flood stage.

Our formal invitation from PopCap's zombies has arrived, and it seems to confirm that we won't be seeing news of a sequel. The invitation states, "We want to show you our new Plants and Zombiez game on Xbox thingie."
An Xbox Live version of the game has been confirmed before, and we were hoping to see what's new for the series at this event. We'll be attending the event in two weeks' time, and will let you know if there's any iPhone or iPad news to report.
We just received a very intriguing email from PopCap Games, makers of Plants vs Zombies, our only winner of both iPhone and iPad Game of the Month awards. This "save the date" email suggests to us a press event where we'll hear about what's next for the series, like a possible sequel.
A sequel or add-on certainly makes sense for PopCap, who has seen huge sales from Plants vs Zombies on the iPhone. This press event could also be to give an update of the game on Xbox Live, which was announced over a year ago.
With its extensive cast of characters and overwhelming critical and commercial success, we think Plants vs Zombies 2, or an add-on similar to Peggle Nights, would be great. We're just hoping it comes to the iPhone and iPad a bit sooner than the eight-month wait we had to endure the first time around.
We'll have more information on this press event in early August.

Hi there folks,
I usually grow Detroit Reds (doing well this fall) but was wondering if any of you had a favorite beet variety that might be sweeter? Thanks for suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by farmerdill (My Page) on Tue, Nov 6, 12 at 17:34
They are all so different that it's hard to say, but if you want lots of uniform beets you gotta stick with the red ones. That said, yellow, white and pink beets have a less complex flavor, so they come through as sweeter when cooked. I have yet to find a variety that is fast and productive, but I keep growing the light beets as table fare because they are so good, and so beautiful. Several seed companies offer mixtures, which is a good way to get to know these offbeat beets. |
When I think beets I really don't think sweet. There are subtle taste differences, they cook up differently, and some store better than others. What I look for in beets definitely isn't sweetness. Corn? Definitely. But today, most all the corn grown for fresh sale is plenty sweet enough. Taste is always going to be personal, so one person's 'sweet' beets is going to be mushy to another. I'd just rotate thrugh as many varieties as you have room for, until you find one you really like. |
jonfrom, we bought some very sweet beets at Sav-a-lot the other day. They tasted like candy to me! I've only eaten the canned ones. From now on I will only eat the fresh ones. Farmerdill, I always enjoy reading what you advise. I'm not sure where to find the seeds for the ones you recommended or know if they will grow in 8b. I several varieties I got on seed exchange. I've never planted them before. Can you please give me advice on how to grow them and when to harvest them? Thanks! |
- Posted by farmerdill (My Page) on Fri, Nov 9, 12 at 8:11
Zackey. I plant beets in late February. Have not had any success with fall beets, just too hot and dry here to get them started. They like a high pH so I use wood ashes on beet plots, other than that no special prep. only a few varieties have not not done well. Most are good, a few excellent. Wetzel is the only company I have found that vend the Blood Turnip. I have been getting them from Merrifield http://merrifieldgardencenter.com/Products/Seeds---Seed-Starting-Supplies/Vegetable-Seeds.aspx |
Hi again, Veggieking - long time no see. |
Thanks for all the great advice!! Those are good looking beets Farmerdill! I will try the suggested varieties. Being here in Z-7 we can grow beets well both in spring and fall. My luck with beets has improved since using Thomas Jefferson's method which I saw at Montecello a few years ago. I use to sprinkle the seed randomly in a wide row and thinned them out. But TJ's method using a wide row was to plant 2 thin rows within the wide row. The extra room helped greatly. Another tip is that a beet seed is a clump of seeds together so thinning them each out to just one beet sprout helps make for bigger beets. Hi Flora, yes, been absent for a long time here, my posting time has been spread too thin, esp now that I'm retired, ha. |
I was very impressed with the 3 Root Grex Beet from Fedco seeds. The beets were giant and stayed sweet and tender for many months in the garden. |

I like a hybrid called Red Ace for overall quality. It's a dark red type that's sweet, early, and uniform. Early wonder is another one I like to grow. |

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

This resource is designed specifically for congregations, clusters, districts, and other organizations that are looking for an intensive and advanced anti-racism training.
Previously called Jubilee II, the Jubilee Anti-Racism Training is a two-and-a-half-day power analysis of racism. From Friday evening through Sunday afternoon participants work with two experienced trainers to examine and analyze historical and institutional racism in the United States.
Using materials developed by Crossroads Antiracism Organizing & Training, exercises in the workshop explore the historical development and power dynamics of racism, the social construction of racial identity, and an analysis of three manifestations of racism—individual, institutional, and cultural. The workshop helps Unitarian Universalists to develop a Unitarian Universalist spiritual and theological grounding for anti-racism and anti-oppression action.
To deal effectively with systemic racism it is important to have an accurate diagnosis of racism and to use terms that have clearly understood meanings. During the Jubilee Anti-Racism Training the group develops this common analysis that leads to discussion of many of the issues surrounding and feeding racism. There are three aims of the workshop:
The workshop provides background and understanding of the mandate of the 1997 Business Resolution passed at General Assembly in Phoenix, AZ, calling for the commitment to develop an anti-racist multicultural religious community at all levels of the Unitarian Universalist Association. In applying the analysis of racism to specific situations in our denomination as it functions as an institution, we focus on how we can create an anti-racist religious community by increasing awareness of racism, power, and privilege and developing strategies for congregational change.
The fee for the workshop is $750 per trainer plus expenses. Expenses include travel and lodging for the trainers, workshop food, and materials. The organization may choose to charge a fee to workshop participants to help defer some of the workshop expenses. Congregations often partner with other congregations in their area and/or invite community organizations—these options spread the cost amongst more parties and also build valuable connections.
Email araomc @ uua.org for more information or to apply for a Jubilee Anti-Racism Training. You can also find out more about other programs from Multicultural Growth & Witness.
For more information contact araomc @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

Authorities say speed was a factor in a north Omaha crash Friday evening.
Omaha police said that Robert Eaton was heading east on McKinley Street, near 36th Street, when he lost control of the vehicle and rolled at least once.
Eaton was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center in critical condition.
Police said speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
Police were asking drivers to find an alternate route, as traffic had been shut down in both directions.

As organizations move to virtualization and the cloud, we have to adapt to increasing mixed environments: Hyper-V, Vmware, physical applications, customer applications, multiple storage vendors, cloud platforms, and more. Nearly every vendor offers a native solution that handles some aspects of disaster recovery; many are free. But nearly every data center ias a mix of technologies; and that means rolling out and managing different solutions throughout the data center.
Our storage, high availability and disaster recovery solutions have always offered the advantage of supporting the scope of technologies and vendors in a data center--through a single console. Disaster Recovery Orchestrator, currently in beta, offers disaster recovery as a service for customers using Microsoft Azure.
For customers using Hyper-V and Azure there are some key terms and technologies to consider:
- Recovering a VM with Microsoft's Hyper-V Recovery Manager: this native tool recovers Hyper-V VMs, but it is up to the admin to ensure the related applications and business service abstraction on top of the VM is ready to go.
- Storage Foundation High Availability for Windows 6.1 allows for choice and continuous integration with replication technologies, and focuses on the entire business service with an application centric DR approach. It ties together all the VMs and applications that make up a service and ensure priority order recovery during a DR event.
- Disaster Recovery Orchestrator extends this approach to Azure to provide:
- One solution independent of the compute topology housing the applications on-premise: i.e. the app could be on a Windows OS instance contained within a VMware VM, a Hyper-V VM or physical on premise.
Monitoring and recovering at the business service level gives us a broader understanding of the health of the Windows application ecosystem, and detailed monitoring of the application's fault state.

Text of report by Bosnian independent weekly Slobodna Bosna, on 28 July
[Report by Mirha Dedic: "Aleksandar Dzombic, In Order To Remain as Prime
Minister, Demands Municipal Mayors To Fill RS Budget"]
Only seven months after the formation of the RS [Serb Republic]
Government, RS President Milorad Dodik intends to replace most of the
ministers, including Prime Minister Aleksandar Dzombic. Our journalist
reveals the real reasons and objectives behind the reshuffle of the RS
"There are rumours about the reshuffle of the RS Government. The
government, however, remains stable. All ministers, with Prime Minister
Dzombic at the helm, have my support."
This was what RS President Milorad Dodik said at the start of the week,
denying the rumours that he would resort to drastic measures because of
the RS Government's inefficiency.
According to Dodik, the B-H Federation takes the entire blame for the
bad economic situation in the RS. According to Dodik's calculations, the
B-H Federation owes the RS more than 500 million convertible marks [KM]
for 28,000 pensioners who earned their pensions in the B-H Federation
but are receiving them from the RS.
Our magazine has learned from a source close to the RS Government that
Dodik already made a list of ministers who would be thrown out of the
government in autumn, after the summer vacation season. Several
ministers will have to be publicly questioned for the mismanagement of
state money that Dodik was aware of. They will have to be sacrificed
because Dodik wants to make the public think that they take the blame
for the bad economic situation.
Our well-versed source also said that Aleksandar Dzombic would also step
down as prime minister. Dodik, when he appointed Dzombic as prime
minister, said that he would, if necessary, install four to five
different people to this office in the next four years. To recall, seven
months ago nearly everyone in the SNSD [Alliance of Independent Social
Democrats] Executive Board was against Dzombic as prime minister. Dodik,
however, chose Dzombic on his own, with the agreement that he could
replace him whenever he wanted. Dzombic has become a very unpopular
figure in the SNSD. His party colleagues complain that he is aggressive,
arrogant, disorganized, and unable to resolve the accumulated problems.
Two weeks ago RS president, burdened by a big deficit in the RS budget,
told his ministers in no uncertain terms that he wanted concrete results
by autumn, otherwise many would have to say goodbye to their ministerial
posts. Dodik is especially critical of the ministers from the previous
administration who continued to work in Dzombic's government. Dodik
thinks that they should have better results now that they have been
ministers for six years.
For the time being, it is certain that Petar Djokic, the minister of
labour and veterans and the disabled, will survive Dodik's autumn purge.
The same goes for Nedeljko Cubrilovic, the minister of transport and
communications, who has many links to Dodik in the irregularities
pertaining to the construction of the Banja Luka-Gradiska highway.
Most ministers, Prime Minister Dzombic included, will not go on summer
vacation because of the announced purge. Dzombic urgently wants to fill
the RS budget with several million convertible marks so as to "buy" a
few more months as prime minister. Over the past 10 days Dzombic has
been visiting affluent municipalities in the RS. He is trying to
persuade each mayor to transfer several million convertible marks to the
RS budget under the banner of "joint projects with the RS Government."
During his most recent visit to Bijeljina, Dzombic reached an agreement
with Mayor Mico Micic to implement "a joint project with the RS
Government." Pursuant to the agreement, Bijeljina, one of the most
affluent municipalities in the RS, will allocate KM10 million for the
project. These millions will come in handy for Dzombic to put out the
fire caused by the pensions problem until autumn.
Circles in the SNSD's top echelon mentioned several people loyal to
Dodik who might replace the unpopular Aco [Aleksandar] Dzombic. One of
them is RS Finance Minister Zoran Tegeltija, who seven months ago was
also a candidate for prime minister.
Our source in the SNSD top echelon said that Zeljka Cvijanovic, the
incumbent minister of economic relations and regional cooperation, had
also been offered to take over as prime minister. Cvijanovic is highly
trusted by Dodik. She often goes to the presidential palace, and has
been seen in meetings attended by Dodik in his capacity as president. At
the time of Dodik's term as prime minister, she was his adviser and the
head of his office. She was with him at nearly all of his important
meetings; she was his right hand in the "Butmir negotiations" on
constitutional changes, the talks that were conducted by international
Zeljka, however, told her boss that she did not have sufficient
managerial skills to lead the RS Government. Cvijanovic told Dodik
without mincing words that she was aware that the RS coffers were empty
and she did not want to be "expended" in a few months' time. Dodik, on
the other hand, thought that the RS citizens would have sympathies for
the first female prime minister of the RS.
At the same time, the efforts to resolve problems with the formation of
B-H-level government have picked up pace. This generated major turmoil
in the SNSD, as well as the creation of clans that are fighting for
government offices. Ahead of everybody is Nikola Spiric, who is trying
to turn Dodik against Dzombic. Spiric's clan includes Nebojsa Radmanovic
and Igor Radojicic. We have learned that Spiric threatened Dodik that he
would leave the SNSD and take prominent SNSD members with him if he did
not get one of the portfolios in the RS Government in autumn.
The dismissal of Zoran Mastilo as director of the PIO [Pension and
Disability Insurance] Fund is another illustration of turmoil and
divisions in the SNSD. The entire SNSD Municipal Board in Bijeljina rose
to Mastilo's defence. Miroslav Milovanovic, the RS minister of
agriculture, water industry, and forestry was particularly active in
defending Mastilo. This is the reason why he will be the first minister
to be dismissed after the vacation season. Dodik will send him back to
Semberija to improve the bad situation with the local party membership.
According to those well-versed in these matters, the economic situation
in the RS has never been worse. The crisis in the RS Railways has not
come to an end. The problem is how to find people able to restore the
reputation of this public company and to communicate with the RS
authorities. Prime Minister Dzombic announced that he would dismiss the
Supervisory Board of the RS Railways because they had failed to replace
four executive directors. On the other hand, the Supervisory Board said
that it would have generated anarchy with the dismissals because the RS
Government had not made the nominations for new directors. It also said
that Prime Minister Dzombic had done nothing to resolve this problem.
Dodik also intends to make replacements in all public companies. He
wants to replace the managements of the RS Railways, the PIO Fund, the
RS Forests, the RS Elektroprivreda [public power company], and several
other companies, in order to create an illusion that things will
At the start of this week the Main Public Sector Auditing Office filed
its reports. The reports suggest that last year, most of the RS
ministries spent money without control.
The RS Ministry of Commerce and Tourism was very generous in spending
its money. The then Minister Predrag Gluhakovic, who in the meantime
became deputy speaker of the RS National Assembly, had without doubt
been a gallant man. According to the auditing office, his ministry broke
the budget by 59 per cent last year. The funds for development of
tourism were not always allocated through invitations to bid and
pursuant to the rules. The criteria for rating the projects are not
precise, which left a lot of room for subjective awarding of points. The
champion in breaking the budget wit hin the ministry is the RS
Commodities Reserve Directorate. They broke the budget by 127 per cent
or KM3.2 million, which were used for flood relief. Eighty-five per cent
of the funds were used as assistance for non-profit organizations. The
ministry also violated the Public Procurement Law. This particularly was
the case with the procurement of petty items for the RS catering servi!
ce. A total of KM88,000 was used as an unforeseen expenditure for
chairs, tablecloths, and bed linen.
The RS Justice Ministry, headed by Dzerard Selman, and the judicial
institutions under the ministry's jurisdiction broke the budget by 706
per cent in the payment of taxes for salaries of members of the RS
Supreme Court. The ministry used the emergency funds to improve the
accommodation of prison inmates, as well as for various entertainment
purposes. The total amount of this portfolio's emergency fund was
KM2,373,221. The Sokolac Psychiatric Hospital received KM1,800,000. The
"Land Registration Project" was co-financed in the amount of KM182,600.
A nongovernmental organization called "Stichting Srebrenica Historical
Project Hague" received assistance in the amount of KM275,014. The team
to coordinate war crimes investigations and the tracking of missing
persons received assistance in the amount of KM115,607.
According to the auditing report, major losses were sustained in the
energy sector. In 2010 the RS Elektroprivreda broke the record in
electric energy production, but its net profits dropped by KM700,000.
They produced electric energy worth KM560 million, but their annual net
profits dropped to KM29.5 million. Why is the RS Elektroprivreda not
making a bigger profit? The auditing report explains that
Elektroprivreda failed to collect KM221.9 million for the electricity it
delivered to the users. Of particular concern are the losses on the grid
- according to figures in the auditing report, these losses are 16.5 per
cent. The responsible minister very well knows what generates these
losses - theft involving Elektroprivreda employees. According to
individual auditing reports, the biggest loses were sustained by
Elektrokrajina Banja Luka [branch office of Elektroprivreda], which is
headed by Seka Kuzmanovic, Nebojsa Radmanovic's [B-H Presidency member]
mother-in-! law. Even bigger losses are anticipated in the RS energy
sector in the period ahead. The CEZ Group abandoned the project to
invest in the Gacko Thermoelectric Power Plant, which led to the
instigation of arbitration proceedings against Elektroprivreda in the
amount of 59 million euros. This is not the only lawsuit. Compensation
sought from Elektroprivreda in ongoing lawsuits is KM415.2 million. In
order to salvage the energy sector, Dodik decided quickly to sell,
without an envisaged tender, the Ugljevik Mine and Thermoelectric Power
Plant [RITE]. The buyer is a highly suspicious person, and the sale is
conducted under highly suspicious circumstances.
Recently, the RS Government accepted without a tender the letter of
intent of the Cypriot-based Comsar Energy company. This company is owned
by the Russian businessman Rashid Sardarov Selimovich. The letter of
intent talks about the building of the second block of the Ugljevik
Thermoelectric Power Plant. The RS Government also agreed to found the
Comsar Energy Serb Republic company, with the Cypriot company owning 90
per cent of the shares, and the Ugljevik RITE 10 per cent. Aleksandar
Dzombic said that 1,000 people would be hired to build Ugljevik 2, and
that 700 jobs would be created in the new complex. According to the
letter of intent, the Russian millionaire Rashid Sardarov plans to build
two thermoelectric power plants in Ugljevik, with total worth of 800
million euros. Sardarov says that he is the owner of the South Urals
Industrial Company since 1994, and that he also has several other
successful companies in Europe. He employs 1,500 workers, and has a! n
annual turnover of $1.5 billion.
Sardarov's letter of intent says that he intends to build Ugljevik 2 and
Ugljevik 3. Sardarov wants two concessions for coal exploitation,
estimated to be around 45 million tons. He also wants a concession for
the construction of the thermoelectric power plant. He suggests the
founding of a company called Comsar Energy Serb Republic. His company
would own 90 per cent of the shares, and the Ugljevik RITE would just
have 10 per cent.
Rashid Sardarov is a "controversial" Russian businessman. One of the top
links that comes up when you Google his name is "Russian mafia."
Sardarov was born in Dagestan. He is an oligarch who emerged from the
Soviet caste of bureaucrats. He was the general manager of Inter Soyuz,
and then became the general manager and owner of the South Urals
Industrial Company. He developed other transition businesses as well.
His various "investments" have paid off. Sardarov also became the owner
of the Soversheno Sekretno publishing company. He then bought an entire
mountain [as published] in Austria. He put up fences and posted armed
guards around his estates in Austria and Russia. In Russia Sardarov also
owns entire forests, around which he put up barbed wire. His armed men
deny access to "mere mortals."
RITE workers are afraid that this highly profitable company will be
besieged by armed guards after it is privatized. Dodik, however, does
not care about who will buy the Ugljevik Thermoelectric Power Plant.
Over the past three years many foreign investments have sustained
failure in the RS, and all Dodik cares about is finding the money to
avoid social unrest.
[Box, p 35] RS Veterans Want To Overthrow Aleksandar Dzombic's
Experts think that Milorad Dodik will not be able to avoid large-scale
social unrest in autumn. Even with two average salaries RS citizens
cannot afford basic food items. Pensioners and veterans in east
Hercegovina have already announced the holding of protests. The veteran
organization in Hercegovina thinks that the RS Government violated their
partnership by adopting the draft PIO law against the will of the
veteran population. At a meeting in Gacko, the veterans requested
deputies of the RS National Assembly not to adopt the new PIO bill
unless the bill on veterans' rights was adopted at the same time.
Otherwise they would take to the streets with protests asking for
Aleksandar Dzombic's government to step down.
The new bill terminates the right of former RS Army members to receive
pensions that may not be less than KM480. A large majority of the 42,000
eligible former fighters will now receive pensions reduced by up to
KM200. The RS Government, which is the sponsor of this bill, said that
it was doing everything to unburden the PIO Fund, which was in a bad
shape. They said that they would restore the veterans' budgetary
assistance in some other way, most probably through the Law on Veterans'
Rights. This law, however, is not even in a preparatory stage, while the
bill terminating the veterans' assistance has already been passed by the
Five months ago the RS veterans took to the streets, seeking their
rights. Dodik threatened that "if they continue with this, they will get
nothing." After several meetings with Dodik, the servile Pantelija
Curguz [head of RS veteran association] quelled the rebellion. A month
ago, however, the veterans in Hercegovina, Zvornik, and East Sarajevo
broke away from Curguz and said that they stood ready to overthrow the
RS Government should it continue to trample on their rights.
