Hi - I was afraid I'd miss this as have been sick for the past week. Glad to get better and find out I am not too late! I'd love to join the fun too! Here is my list, it's short but sweet: soapwort - wants lots and lots of this. Happy Holidays! Kelly |
Lisa, good your family is helping you, take care and you'll make plenty of fudge soon! Want to post your FUDGE recipe? I'm sure you'd be glad knowing it'll be on our Thanksgiving menu. Of course, it'd be lightened by me as I've had to watch what I eat, unless of course it's already light. Hey, time for sharing some favorite recipes you'll be making soon? have a great weekend, |
I already see a lot of wishes I can fill, so I guess I'd better join! Since I'm also in another big swap, it would probably be best if you look at my exchange page if you're sending me anything, since I'll probably be fiddling with it a bit in the next week or so. However, as of this posting, here is my list: Bean - some kind of runner bean; Dragon Tounge Bean; purple podded snap beans; cool looking dry beans As you can probably see, my passion is heirloom vegetables, and if you have a really awesome heirloom you'd like to send me that's not on my list, I wouldn't mind at all. :-) |

Hi Bea,, and thank you for caring quilting fox,, how very nice you all are,, ok here goes--my peanut butter fudge reciepe;;; Best Peanut Butter fudge (really it is too ) spray pam in a 9x13 inch pan |
Lisa, yummy recipe I am sure, makes me wish I was back to years ago when I could have sugar without worries ( watched fat and salt intakes for years but cookies and pralines were too much for me last May) Now I know no matter what it's best to use sugar and fat in moderation or NO SUGAR, for me anyway, suggest this to everyone, for you too, because I'm a friend. Just found this recipe for HEALTHY CHOCOLATE FUDGE BARS, looks good, giving it a try, might add some peanut butter. So Lisa, because of you bringing in fudge, chocolate lovers here will enjoy it too, thank you very much. Kim, great chocolate milk, can always use Splenda, thank you. Bea |

Hello all Jordan and I are back from Disney and had a wonderful time. On the morning of her 5th birthday, Jordan went to the Bibbidi Boppidy Boutique to get dressed up like a real princess. Her hair, makeup dress, shoes crown and wand were all done/given to her. She later went to a tea party to learn how to be a real princess. She learned how to be a proper princess. For 2 days she was a "real princess". On the night of her second day I asked her if she wanted to be a princess on our last day and she said "Well, tomorrow I think I want to be a child. It is very hard work being a princess all the time." I guess sitting with your ankles crossed and your hands gently in your lap, using your best manners, giving all the kind people thank you's and curtseys and granting dreams and wishes was more than a little girl could take lol. I have made quite a list of seeds to send out. Did the addresses get sent yet or are they yet to come? I need to make up a better list and will see if I have the time. I would just be happy to get a few cards. Kim |
Kim, great for Jordan and you to have been to a wonderful world. Jordan knew what was more fun! Imagine you took plenty of pics. Hey...everyone, take it easy on the sugar! Prevention helps a bunch. best wishes, |
Hey Kim I am kinda new here but glad to see you and Jordan where able to have some fun time.Also I think addy's go out after sign ups are complete. Hey Bea good advice for everyone. I cut back on sugar sometime ago.Only time I really indulge is around the Holidays.Both sides of my family have diabetics and I need to be careful since I have a bad heart condition. Take care And Happy Thanks Giving. |
Hey Klorentz, good seeing you here! I'm not missing sugar at all, there are many alternatives, eventually we get used to less sugar too. With me it was my Birthday and Mother's day, decided to make pecan pralines, mostly sugar..my blood pressure was already high but I was naive. So you all make sure you check your blood pressure before indulging in white sugar. love |
Hi everyone! Wish List: 1. Angel's Trumpets "White" or "Red" (Brugmansia Suaveolens) Any kind on the ones with ** Thank You! |
Will do Bea. Been lucky in the blood pressure dept.That's one thing I have been OK on.We have some Splenda on hand that can be used for baking.BIL has to do things about 50/50 cuz of my Sis and cuz it diabetes runs in my family. Have to watch the sodium to.Found some good stuff low in sodium other than Mrs Dash (not a bad product)and Nu Salt.My Dad would use one that had hot pepper flakes in it. Not bad really.I might add though watch your starches. taters etc have lots of it so there is another thing to watch. Kevin |

Since others are sharing their yummy holiday recipes, here, I'd like to share our favorite pie crust recipe. Originally published in the 1955 edition of "Meta Given's Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking", my mother swore by this and now so does my wife, Elly, and her sister, Sharla. Here it is... Fab, Easy Pie Crust Ingredients 2c All Purpose Flour Directions Cut shortening into flour. Add salt and (The recipe title is my own invention) Simple, easy, and boy it sure is a great crust! - BTW, I'm diabetic, too. It's reeeeally hard not having a 2nd helping of mashed potatoes and other carbs, but,...I'll be good. Honest. Welllll, maybe a small-small 2nd helping. LOL! - Our family has a lot to be thankful for, including my having joined this wonderful, helpful, fun and generous GW community! --Happy Thanksgiving everyone!-- |

Kym, I will get my list of those I will be sending to...to you...by December 1st. CHRISTMAS is a time to give...tiz certainly much grander than receiving. Little Ladybug...little Morgan...I have some seeds that your Mom and brothers can plant together. And a beautiful garden it will be, with you watching over it.....SMILE! Thank you Kym............. |
Hope everyone had plenty to be thankful for and isn't overstuffed. At least no cooking for a few days, smile. How about posting some recipes for what you had or plan on making? I will soon, day just starting, it's 43 deg too. How generous you are Kym, will send seeds for your friend and won't ignore your wants, thank you. have a good day you all, |
Hi everyone , hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, lots of good food and spending it with your family and friends :-) I spent a couple more hours going thru my seeds and everyone's wish lists yesterday so now I am almost ready to start mailing ;-) This will be so much fun ! HO HO HO I am one happy little elf ! Kym, that list you just posted yesterday is a list of those who have reported who they are sending to, correct ? not those you have info on ? I will get my list together and send it to you either today or tomorrow ;-) and sending seeds to your friend in memory of her daughter is a wonderful idea ;-) I hear jingle bells ! ~Iris |

Hi Kym, We're out of town right now and will be back on Monday. I'll send a list of all I'm sending to then. Thanks so much. Toni |
- Posted by yotetrapper (email@example.com) on Sat, Nov 28, 09 at 11:58
When are we getting the addresses? Was hoping we'd have them by Monday so I can work on it on my day off. 90% of my cards are in envelopes, marked with screen names, address labeled and stamped! |
- Posted by flwrs4ever 7 R.I. (My Page) on Sat, Nov 28, 09 at 12:29
Addresses have been mailed !! Had them ready last night, but was HOPING people would send me their addresses...should have JUST emailed off the list. PLEASE CHECK YOUR ADDRESS, TO SEE IF I MADE ANY MISTAKES !!! LET ME KNOW BY EMAIL TODAY IF SO.... Games will be posted soon... |
Great job, Kym, you must've worked few hours on it, thank you, waiting for the fun games to begin. Grandson, 10, made our Thanksgiving extra nice, quizzing us at the table for a while, wanted to stay longer, his mom said he'll have 2 weeks off for Christmas and they'll stay more than 2 days. Hope my son makes it then too. Always a game for a game, Bea |
- Posted by yotetrapper (email@example.com) on Sat, Nov 28, 09 at 13:42
Thanks Kym! I sent you an email of whom I'm sending to, with the difficulties I was having emailing you before, please let me know if you dont get it. Thanks! Angela |
Kym, My address was not correct so I replied back to all with my correct address. I will send you an email. Thanks. |

Let the mailboxing begin! |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Sun, Nov 29, 09 at 16:08
Okay, I got the bubblies all ready to go, and would you believe Stella and Bump slept through the whole thing? They've been sleeping a lot this weekend, you think it could be the turkey they've been eating??? LOL!!! Hmmm, speaking of "bubbly", I believe I'll go pop a cork and enjoy the evening! Happy mailboxing everyone! Peace. |
If I can find my few sets of cards from previous years, probably on top shelf in the corner, laugh..each set was only partly used. Plus need to replace blue ink on the printer, recipes use ink...... wish I could print stamps, lol Dessert - Angel Food Cake Cupcake, some frosted with fluffy white icing , some with chocolate icing, homemade. and for you my GW pals, * Merry Christmas * |

Is it too late to join? I was in last year, and sent a lot of cards out and helped out with people who had hard to find requests. I have just been so busy with my bean swap, that I did not get to join. If it is too late, that is ok, but if not, I would love to join again! Christy |
- Posted by grovespirit Zone 11 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 30, 09 at 13:41
bonechickchris is very generous and has kewl seeds- I do hope she gets to join in! :) |
Just sealed my last envelope so my cards are ready to go. I didn't make my cards, but I did buy cards designed by children who are patients at M.D Anderson Cancer Center. Sales benefit the patients. |
My cards are all ready to go, just need to apply the labels and stamps! I am very excited, this was so lovely last year! really made me feel the holiday spirit! Have a great evening everyone! Frances |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Mon, Nov 30, 09 at 20:41
My cards are flying, like little reindeer! LOL!!! Or, should I say..... Ho! Ho! Ho! |
Oh my goodness December first came up really fast! I'm just starting to go through the lists (wow theres alot lol) but I definitely plan on sending as many cards as I can! I LOVE Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! Holly |
Ahhhh! It's time to mail cards??!!??...drat my perfectionist genes coupled with procrastination. I'm working on my cards and they will get done soon even though, I've never once acheived perfection. BUT, I will not let you down Santa! Some special gardenwebbers out there will get their cards. Neither superglued fingers, nor glitter catastrophes, nor crayon meltdowns will stop these seeds. Am I making anyone nervous that they might be getting a card from me??? :D |

I have a pile of cards and a bubble envy ready to go but I think that I'll wait a few days to mail...it will make mailboxing last longer :) I hope to be able to send a few cards every week after my initial batch has gone out. Lisa |

Well, I finally trimmed down my list and emailed it to Kym, and have most of my seeds sorted and labeled. I rounded up enough BEs, so next I will work on my cards and address labels.But I think I better get some sleep and start in again later today. My DH just came by and asked "'Do you have any ideal what time it is?" As a matter of fact, I did not realize that it had gotten so late (or early). Gggrrr...its 342 am...LOL!! |
Good morning everyone ! I have a quick question before I go to work ... is it okay to send the seeds wrapped inside a piece of bubble wrap inside the card in a regular envelope ? Hope all you elves have a merry day ;-) ~Iris |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 6:33
Iris, if you do, make sure you note on the front of the envelope that it needs to be hand-stamped, and that it contains seeds. This way, it won't be sent through the sorting machines and ripped open. There's a lot more mail going through the postal system right now, which means more accidents will happen. We do our best, but... sometimes things happen. Hope this helps. Peace. |
- Posted by flwrs4ever 7 R.I. (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 7:53

Send David a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed David or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
My name is David. I enjoy teaching mathematics. I specialize in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and statistics. I've been teaching these subjects for several years. I enjoy working with students one-on-one or in a classroom setting. When teaching, I explain concepts in everyday language, but I include necessary mathematical terminology. My first, and most important, objective is to ensure that students are able to work problems and apply reasoning skills to find solutions. Secondly, I want to familiarize students with the language of mathematics. Often times, when teaching, students tell me "just show me how to work the problem." I understand that knowing how to work the problem is the most important thing, and that is what I focus on.
I approach mathematics with applications in mind. I have a B.S. in physics and to me, math is a vehicle for arriving at solutions to problems, which are too complex to be solved intuitively. My hope is that my students will develop a greater understanding for the many practical uses of math and gain the discipline required to succeed in their math endeavors.
I am currently the head tutor at a local college so my actual job away from WyzAnt is tutoring. I work with people everyday on a variety of science and math problems.
I hope to work with you soon.
Meeting with David for the first time was a success after having horrible experiences with past tutors. He helped me understand topics that I needed clarification on and we worked on my own homework problems as well as examples which he made up. I will definitely be contacting him again to help me get through Calculus.
David is very friendly and encouraging. Very fair with pricing our sessions. Instantly cooperative when I butt in to show him how I learn better whether it be asking him to slow down, interrupting him to go back to something else I hadn't understood, or asking for the pencil so he can watch/help me try to work a problem instead of just showing me how it is done (though that's helpful too).
I spend an hour a week with him going over my homework assignments and we go step by step through every problem. It's very helpful and beneficial.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Math includes Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry. I am well versed in all of these subjects, and I have detailed knowledge of the structure and content of the ACT. Also, I can provide test taking strategies to help students to maximize their score.
Introduction to variables, Expressions and Formulas, Integers and Monomials, Solving equations with one variable
Equations with two variables, Quadratic equations, Factoring complex expressions, Exponents and polynomials
Limits, Continuity, Derivatives, Integrals, and Applications
Lines, Planes, Angles, Polygons
Number Line, Integers, Algebraic reasoning, Fractions
Working with complex expressions, Complex numbers, Equations and their graphs
I have detailed knowledge of all the fundamental aspects of probability. These include, but are not limited to: addition rules, multiplication rules, independence, tree diagrams, disjoint events (mutually exclusive), conditional probability, and the application of Bayes rule. Two of my specialties at the college where I tutor are probability and statistics. Many students of nursing and behaviorial science come to the tutoring center for help with these subjects.
SAT math involves the subjects of algebra, number and set theory, plane and coordinate geometry, trigonometry, functions, percents, and even some data analysis, probability, and sequences. I have tutored a number of students who were preparing for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. I have detailed knowledge of the subjects covered on the exam, as well as knowledge of the test format. I bring actual SAT practice problems to my test prep tutoring sessions so that students become familiar with the types of problems they will see on the test.
Statistics is my number one specialty at the college where I tutor. Because we have so few statistics tutors on staff, I spend a significant amount of time at the college working with students on statistics. I am well versed in all aspects of introductory statistics, including probability. My knowledge includes, but is not limited to: sampling methods, types of distributions, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, comparing two means, proportions, z and t statistics, linear regression, multiple regression, ANOVA, and nonparametric tests. I have probably spent more time as a private tutor working with statistics students than any other subject.
Super Helpful! — Meeting with David for the first time was a success after having horrible experiences with past tutors. He helped me understand topics that I needed clarification on and we worked on my own homework problems as well as examples which he made up.

Standard Hourly Fee: $30.00

David F. passed a background check on 11/22/13. The check was ordered by David through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to David, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

I started day one, with a Glock. The only safety rule I make big over beyond the norm is I always carry a handgun in a holster if chambered.
But as far as chambered or unchambered, start when it feels right for you. Carry consistently once you start to carry with one in the chamber. Don't go from day to day changing carry condition methods.

GBA Ambassador games delayed?
The ten free GameBoy Advance games Nintendo promised to early adopters of the 3DS as part of the Ambassador Programme may not be available until next year.
The games, including Yoshi's Island, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion and WarioWare, were originally promised to those eligible for the scheme before the end of 2011 as compensation for the global 3DS price drop. Nintendo's Spanish website now lists them as "available from next year."
We've sought confirmation from Nintendo UK, and update when we hear back.

High-performance databases are optimized for transaction processing and used by several industries around the world, notably financial services and healthcare. They are more commonly available on 32-bit Unix platforms (Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Linux). The trend is to 64-bit-enable them and migrate them to the IA-64 architecture. This helps companies take advantage of the scalability and performance features provided by 64-bit architecture and win them greater market share. This article will describe some of the challenges we faced and resolved in migrating one such database engine application from 32-bit Unix to Linux on IA-64.
Migration Challenges of the Database
This database has its own runtime architecture that is totally different from the Itanium runtime architecture, with substantial runtime glue code written in native assembly language to enhance performance. It has its own compiler, which generates machine instructions directly from an ISO standard language designed specifically for this family of databases. Further, when it works in direct mode (interpreted), instructions are generated on-the-fly and executed.
Challenges Offered by IA-64
IA-64 architecture provides weak ordering of instruction execution, implying that instructions can be made visible out of order with respect to the actual program order. This is extremely important while running database engines in a multiprocessor environment where executing instructions in the incorrect order would result in unexpected behavior.
IA-64 also supports both little and big endian modes for data storage. HP-UX uses big endian and Linux uses little endian with the instructions always being in little endian.
One of the challenges was to generate machine instructions in the correct order regardless of the operating system.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment.

By Elizabeth White The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.

By Pat Romanski The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.
When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary.
In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

By Elizabeth White The industrial software market has treated data with the mentality of "collect everything now, worry about how to use it later." We now find ourselves buried in data, with the pervasive connectivity of the (Industrial) Internet of Things only piling on more numbers. There's too much data and not enough information.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Bob Gates, Global Marketing Director, GE's Intelligent Platforms business, to discuss how realizing the power of IoT, software developers are now focused on understanding how industrial data can create intelligence for industrial operations.

I've never found Robert Pinkard with any other wife in a census, so I'm interested in the reference. In 1860 Sni a bar, Jackson, MO is listed Robert Pinkard, age 53 b VA, wife Jane 51 b VA and children. In 1870 he is in the same location, 63, and with Mary, age 37 with young children. I believe Mary is a daughter. Even though I've found a cemetery transcription online which showed Jane dying Aug 4 1879 I also found another online source who said it was 1869, which would explain her not being with him. In 1880 he is in the same location, age 73, widowed, b VA. Have you found any more information? Notify Administrator about this message?

Climate change is neither naive nor merely alleged
Re "Kerry wrong on human's ability to affect climate change" (Letters, Feb. 19): The letter writer claims that believing in human causes of climate change is naive.
Perhaps in addition to Secretary of State John Kerry, he should address his criticism to the American Chemical Society, which states, "Data for the past 2,000 years show that the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) ... have increased substantially since 1750. CO2 never increased more than 30 ppm during any previous" millennium "but has risen by 30 ppm in the past two decades."
Further, the Society points to the ratio of C-13 to C-12 isotopes in new CO2 as proof the increase is from human combustion of fossil fuels.
The letter writer can believe whatever he likes, but actual proof of his argument requires more than just his assertion. It requires data, analysis, knowledge, and willingness to let evidence rule. His arguments, and those of other climate change deniers, have demonstrated none of these qualities.
-- Jack Peterson, Roseville

Julian Bond November 21, 2013 9:11 AM Good article. But referencing the TT to explain the lack of British riders? In 2013. Really? Reply Report abuse 15 agree 1 disagree
krispradez November 21, 2013 9:17 AM good read. i like how he points out that RIDER+BIKE should be factored in for a total weight limit. a-la-horse-racing.no wonder repsol likes hiring the smallest riders. Reply Report abuse 11 agree 3 disagree
BoZZo November 21, 2013 12:46 PM "Earlier in his career, when he was winning, he never had to push in the early laps. If you remember back to when he was racing Sete Gibernau or Max Biaggi and he'd be comfortable in the early laps and get into the rhythm of the race before pressing his advantage in the last half dozen laps. He could do it then because he was a step above those guys but now he can't afford to lose out. "There we have the confirmation, Rossi never had stiff competition or else he would have max 2 championships.Casey, Jorge, Dani or Marc would have dominated in that era. Reply Report abuse 26 agree 36 disagree
SmokinHaddock November 21, 2013 1:24 PM BoZZo,You simply cannot draw that conclusion. You can only beat those lined up with you on the grid, and what's to say in his youth he wouldn't have raised his game to beat the current crop? He is 34 now, and that in itself is a disadvantage against the youger guys. Reply Report abuse 18 agree 6 disagree
herewego November 21, 2013 2:48 PM BoZZo, right on ! Is it Valentino's fault he was born when he was?? He was the best at the time, the same as any good rider, you can only race with the others who are also there at the same time! I reckon if Casey and crew where there way back then they would have struggled like hell with the bikes they would have had to ride!! It's the same thing!!! Reply Report abuse 10 agree 5 disagree
Codger November 21, 2013 3:18 PM @Bozzo........Max 2 Titles eh? Which 2 would that be?Are you referring to the 2 that he won (back to back) against Dani, Casey, and Jorge? Reply Report abuse 17 agree 2 disagree
rameez.solkar.7 November 21, 2013 3:23 PM Vale realy needs to change his way of riding and need to start to push hard as he can from the very first lap of the race !!I hope he trains in this sector and galbusera sets up the bike in such a way !!!! Reply Report abuse 0 agree 0 disagree
rameez.solkar.7 November 21, 2013 3:26 PM Bozzzzzoooo Do you get what you saying by the way ???? your comment is full of hatred so try to be neutral and comment something sensible Reply Report abuse 6 agree 1 disagree
herewego November 21, 2013 3:36 PM Bozzo, you seem to have contradicted yourself a bit and I only agreed with the bit about a rider only putting himself up against whoever else is on the grid !!I just wish people wouldn't constantly try to put Valentino Rossi down by insinuating he never had any decent competition!! What about Biaggi, Caparossi, Gibernau, Barros and all the other good riders from that era!!! Reply Report abuse 10 agree 4 disagree
Smoker November 21, 2013 6:02 PM @herewego - And in this interview they list first season accomplishments of outstanding riders in the top class...didn't Biaggi pole and win his first 500 race. The interview makes no mention of his first season performance. But these days people seem to act as if he wasn't a threat in 500's. Reply Report abuse 11 agree 0 disagree

The frosting made JUST enough to cover the cake, so I would double the frosting next time.
