Sessions by Track
The MAX 2004 sessions are grouped into seven tracks, designed to help you locate the sessions most applicable to your job. The seven tracks are:
Creating Rich Media: It isn't enough just to be different -- learn techniques and practices that enable you to create media with real impact and the power to communicate in new ways. These sessions teach you advanced techniques for drawing and animation, how to incorporate video effectively, and how a little bit of scripting can add interactive power to Flash.
Designing and Publishing for the Web: Designing and publishing large amounts of information to the Web -- Internet or intranet -- is a central development problem for many organizations. Macromedia has been working toward evolving a complete and fully integrated set of tools to make the job easier than it has ever been. This track focuses on using Macromedia Studio along with Contribute and ColdFusion to build powerful Web information systems -- from design to templating to deployment to content management.
Designing Great Experiences: Macromedia provides the tools to create great experiences, but there's more to it than just having the tools. So we also created a team of specialists to work with some of our customers on identifying some of the key problems in designing great experiences -- and solving them. This track presents some lessons learned in overcoming client-server and Web paradigms to create truly rich Internet applications.
Developing Rich Internet Applications: This track focuses on techniques and technical challenges in building rich Internet applications using the powerful array of tools Macromedia provides: Flex, Flash, Flash Communication Server, and Central. Sessions address application design as well as basic and advanced development techniques, addressing problems like data access, creating components, and building sometimes-connected applications.
Mobile and Devices: The power and use of mobile devices has increased dramatically over the past few years and will continue to do so, creating what is expected to be the largest and fastest growing arena for application development over the next decade. These sessions show you the tools Macromedia has developed from the Flash technology to help you create the next generation of rich applications and interfaces for the mobile world.
Training and Collaboration: Macromedia has long been the leader in creating tools for creating online learning, but products like Breeze, Flash, RoboDemo and RoboHelp make it easy to address a much broader array of online learning and collaboration challenges. This track focuses on using and extending these tools effectively to communicate information electronically on a new level.
Web Application Development: This track shows you how to take ColdFusion programming to the next level through better design of applications and databases, Web Services, ColdFusion Components, and more. Learn to develop for scalability and reusability, plug security holes, leverage ColdFusion's Java underpinnings, and understand the ColdFusion's infrastructure to create more robust applications.

My front yard needs some fixing. There's an area of my front yard that used to house a 10 foot tree. We actually had to remove the tree because the roots were interfering with our mainline plumbing. Now that the spot is just dirt, would it be possible for me to plant a tall growing shrub and prune it to grow as a tree? My understanding is shrubs have root systems that wouldn't interfere with the plumbing system. I live in So Cal, sunset 20. The planting spot is about 5 feet from the edge of the front door walkway and about 15 feet from the nearest part of the roof. I was hoping to find something attractive for year around bright color. Pink would be ideal if possible. |

Follow-Up Postings:
We don't know what kind of plumbing interference you had, but usually the problem is roots infiltrating drain pipe that is not of the best quality. The fix is usually with the pipe instead of the plant. If that's fixed and the drain pipe is completely sealed, roots will not penetrate into it. There are many shrubs that work well in the tree form. Usually, shrubs prefer to be multi-trunked so having that type of tree will be the easier to maintain. PG Hydrangea is one example that comes to mind. What pink blooming large shrubs grow in your neighborhood? |

I can't tell if yours have this red stripe along the sides (it could be very faint); if it does, it's an Io moth caterpillar. Still stings! |

Ouch. Yes the older Cats look like that one now. Thanks. |
No problem! |
If you get stung put a compress soaked in ammonia on it. It will take the sting and itch out of most everything, including fire ant bites to wasp stings. The ammonia counter acts the venmon. :o) |

"Crowd pleaser! Although it cracked a little on top I don't think it was especially overcooked. That may be due to the pumpkin which is dense. Next time I will definitely try the two layers like another reviewer suggested. I would like to taste the yummy cheesecake base on its own and contrast that with the pumpkin flavor."

greymulder Posts: 1I have a '93 Civic CX hatchback - the car is really great! Very reliable! It has 125,000 miles so far (most highway) and no problems!
When I first got Homer the Honda, the only maintenence I knew how to do myself was change the oil - over the years, I have greatly improved (with the help of some books and my brother-in-law). Some of the more advanced jobs I have undertaken: changed the timing belt and water pump, the "B" pipe (part of the exhaust system), flushed the brake fluid - and of course, also changed spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, alternator belt, fuel filter, engine coolant, air filter, headlights, ...
I am no true mechanic - If I can learn to do these things, so can you. -
pbark Posts: 1My new Honda Civic had been plagued with noise problems. The car makes more rattles than my friend's Saturn for starters. Under hard breaking, the car will make craking sounds which send shivers up my spine. The heater also comtributes to the cars horendous symphony of noise. It will make jingling noises whenever the car is in cold weather with its heater on. Those of you thinking about buying a Civic hatchback should seriously reconsider. Personally I would buy the new Saturn coupe rather than this overpriced Japanese Jingler.
rwong Posts: 2To pbark..... I am not sure what the problem is with you Civic? Our 1997 hatchback is dead quite on the road. The build quality is much better than
any of the other cars we looked at Neon, Tercel...
And no I don't work for or sell Honda's. I would buy another one of these in a minute! The gas mileage is amazing considering the power in the 5 speed. -
mzn Posts: 727Right. Leif's got a 1986 CRX si with a wishbone break and he wants to know if it is worth salvaging the engine to put in his sister's 1985 Civic which is tooling along at over 270,000 miles.
Here's a couple things to check: Was there a major model change between 1985 & 86? If so, that might make this more difficult. Next, check the wiring harnesses in both cars to make sure they are alike (or at least similar). If not, hmmmm, might be a no go.
What do you think, folks? Can this puppy be saved?
Has anyone tried this at home? -
bubbles Posts: 3Hi folks!
I'm thinking of buying a used 1995 Honda Civic 3 door hatchback. This is my first car and I need something that's inexpensive, easy to maintain, reliable, and has a long life. Do any of you know how much mileage a Honda hatchback can have? Is it reliable? How long can it last? How many miles can one gallon of gas take you? Are there any drawbacks? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -
mzn Posts: 727Welcome! We're glad you found us. If you haven't already, you may want to take a look at our on-site information for that model and year.
We own a '91 Honda CRX and it has way more than 100,000 miles and we get 40 miles per gallon. It has been a good car for us.
Calling all lurkers... What has your experience been? -
bubbles Posts: 3Thanks to Carlady and Leif for responding so quickly. I took the hatchback out for a test drive today. Everything seemed to work ok--however, there's one thing that I'm really worried about. There seemed to be this strange smell that was coming from the driver's side. It smelled like gas but I'm not sure since this is my first car and I'm not sure what's normal or not. But there was some strange fuel odor that would come and go. The odor was there whether or not the heater or A/C was turned on. Do any of you know what this could be? Is it serious? Is this a potential problem waiting to happen? Should I stop thinking about buying this particular car? The car has about 28,000 miles on it. None of the warning signals came on because of the smell. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!! -
leif Posts: 41I'd get it checked. (I've often regretted not having a car checked by a mechanic before I bought it. Costs a lot less than the trouble it saves.) In any event if it is a leak or something I'm sure it is repairable. Are you buying it from a dealership and getting a warranty? Good luck!
bubbles Posts: 3Hi!!
My hatchback didn't work out. Now I'm thinking about buying a 1994 Civic with 49K miles. It's going for $8,990. Is 49K too much mileage for a first car that I intend to keep for a very, very long time? I've read all your above testimonials about Honda's lasting for 150-270K, but is this the norm for all Hondas? How much can I bargain the price down to? -
mzn Posts: 727Hmmm, too bad about the hatchback...
As for purchasing a used car, Bubbles, there is plenty of information on the site to help you. Start by looking at the info on the model which interests you, in this case a 1994 Honda Civic. You'll find pricing information which will help you calculate a fair price. It takes mileage and features into consideration which will help make your price more accurate.
To arm you with the best information about how to make your purchase, take a look at our Buyers Advice area.
Then come back and let us know what you think! -
mzn Posts: 727We're not really having a contest for longest post, investor, but I'd say you have surpassed even the prolific bnormann. ;-)
I love your description of yourself as a "spirited driver," and I'm happy to know you've been saved by your nimble Honda! It's great to hear from a man who loves his car! -
singer1 Posts: 1My 1993 Civic si is the one of the finest handling
cars I've ever driven - and it's fast as hell! After the factory Bridgestone tires wore out, I bought a set of Pirellis. The car out corners just about everything on the road, and has a 0-60 almost as fast as a Porsche 944.
It also has some nice non-econocar features such as a sunroof and power mirrors.
My only gripe is that it has so much torque that rain and snow driving sometimes requires starting in 2nd gear. Well, that and too much road noice.
At 70,000 miles, I've replaced nothing but oil and warranty parts. -
phlob Posts: 4rummor around the rick case department is that honda is bringing the si/type R int the u.s. Irronically enough it comes in white with nice black molding on the sides. the japanese model has a red interior. does anybody know if this is true? the guy at one dealership thought it would be in the form of a sedan(si/sedan? huh?) and another dealer said it would be a hatchback like the one in japan. are they pulling my leg or should i just consider a dx instead of waiting for the unknown ressurection of the si hatch? anyone.. anyone?.
JRChocco Posts: 7I have yet to hear anything on the return of an Si hatchback or new type R. When Honda announced that it was coming out with a new R series of all it's cars this past Summer, we just assumed that the US was included in that plan. Obviously though, none has surfaces so far and plans look bleak for any return soon. What is rumored however, is that when the new generation Civic comes out in '00, the CRX will finally return. The role of the DeLSol is being replaced by the new SSM roadster due to be unvieled this Spring. So just pray for the return of the CRX!
Jon -
abba Posts: 17Here is what I have heard regarding the next generation of Civics. The Type R version will
be released in the US only as a coupe. The CRX
replacement will be a bit higher end/priced and
larger than the old CRX. Unfortunately, the Si
or Type R hatchback is not planned to be available
in the US, to my knowledge. However, it is still
early and things may change. I'd suggest letting America Honda know of your desires. Honda is one of the few manufactures who do not provide
a way of contacting them on their web site. Maybe
they don't want to hear from us. That's ok, I just keep my 93' Si. Drive safely. -

Changing Places
Posted onCoastal Properties Management of Annapolis named Paul Gapcynski the new manager of Riverwalk Landing in Yorktown, Va.
Gapcynski has worked at Riverwalk as dockmaster since May 2005. Following the death of the previous manager, Dennis Nate, last September, Gapcynski was promoted to the management position.
"We were all very saddened to lose Dennis Nate, who was a well-known boater and popular manager at Riverwalk for years," said Bruce Wagner, vice president of operations for Coastal Properties. "Paul has been able to step in and make the transition to manager very efficiently."
Gapcynski is local to the Yorktown area and has been around boats all his life. He holds a Bachelor of Science and an MBA from College of William & Mary and has worked in the marine science field as well as environmental management and civil service as an environmental program manager for the U.S. Air Force.

A yacht and charter captain for more than 15 years, he navigated the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as well as the Caribbean and South China seas.
Commanding a fleet of charter yachts added to his expertise in the industry. He served as the West Coast Azimut service's technical superintendent and project manager, and provided yacht management services for some of the largest yachts on the West Coast.
In 2006, Daubner joined Fraser Yachts California as a sales broker. He holds a Coast Guard Masters License, a broker's license in California and is a member of several maritime organizations.

Predicting the Roaring 20s Fashion on Downton Abbey Season Three—Including Mary's Wedding Dress
We bid farewell to Downton Abbey's second season last week, with a smattering of trading cards and an epic recap to mark the occasion. But as festive tweets from Shirley MacLaine emerge about the new season's filming, we're feeling that we just can't quit you, Downton—at least, not yet. And so we dove into the fashion archives of 1920s couture photography we keep around here (oh, twist our arm!) and decided to speculate as to the sartorial delights that Season Three holds. Will Rosamund break out the flapper frocks to lure a new husband? Will Sybil rebel in diaphanous Chanel, much to the delight of Danny Zuko? Will Lady Mary wear one of the two wedding gowns we selected for her in this slide show—one satin, one lace? You'll have to wait a year to find out, so in the meantime, join us as we tick off the hallmarks and defining characteristics of 1920s fashion we hope to see in Season Three—because they're the bee's knees.
Short Hair
"Once Delilah emasculated Sampson by cutting his hair. Today, she believes she can make herself virile by cutting hers," wrote French author Victor Margueritte in his subversive novel La garçonne in 1922, helping propagate short haircut trends in Paris and beyond—a fad Lady Mary mentions at the end of Downton's second season. A short, wavy cut—crimped into what were known as "marcel waves" or "finger waves"—was the epitome of chic in 1920s Europe. Pictured with the hairstyle is Flobelle Fairbanks, the niece of silent film star (and inspiration for Jean Dujardin in The Artist), Douglas Fairbanks.
Clean Makeup
The strong, clean brows, fair skin, exposed shoulders, defined cupid's bow, and short crop—hallmarks of the era's beauty—are shown here on a model in 1927, wearing a dress by Vionnet and fabulous gems (that's an emerald drop on the end of a diamond chain) by jeweler Black, Starr and Frost.
Strapped Shoes
The t-strap heel was favored by fashionable women of the 20s, including the spectator heel, which featured edging and perforated leather. This pair of cream, multi-strap shoes has toe and seam perforation on scalloped detailing, and dates to spring of 1924.
Dangling Earrings & Pearls
With shorter hair enabling the rise of the dangling earring—geometrical earbobs are shown here on actress Clara Bow in 1927—the 20s also saw the advent of pearls and other semi-precious jewels worn in ropes and different-length necklaces.
Wearing 1920s couturier Lousieboulanger, actress Helen Chandler is photographed in moire taffeta and a diamond-encrusted brooch at her hip. Brooches were a popular accessory at the time, especially to accentuate drop waists or swags at the front or sides of the hips. Chandler was photographed in 1927 in profile to demonstrate the gamine new haircuts.
Pendant Gems
With longer, leaner, corset-less shapes in gowns came necklaces to emphasize those unimpeded lines—including pendant necklaces like this one, from 1928, designed by historic French jewelry house Mauboussin. The necklace is crafted of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, and ends in a basket-of-flowers motif; the dress clip is made of diamonds and engraved silver. Christmas gift for Cora, Lord Grantham?
Lavinia Swire arrived at Downton Abbey in one of these—the headband, bandeau, or aigrette from the 1920s was worn against the forehead rather than on top of the hair, in contrast to the diadems or formal tiaras from the Victorian or Belle Epoque eras. Shown in 1924, Alden Gay wears Cartier originals around her head and neck, on her wrists and fingers, and fastened, as a hip brooch, at her waist.
Embroidered Shawls
The "oracle of the mode" in the early 20th century was Paul Poiret, whose orientalist influences and captivation with the colors of the Ballet Russes led to intricate embroidery, colorful graphic expressions, and textural motifs. The embellishments trickled down to ready-to-wear fashions throughout the 20s, including, in a small way, items like this—an embroidered, long-fringed statement shawl from 1924. Cousin Isobel might warm herself from the Yorkshire chill in something fashion-forward like this wrap.
Feather Fans
A shorter hairstyle in 1925 flaunts dangling Thurn pearl earrings on American actress Frances Howard, who's also holding a large ostrich-feather fan; will Lady Mary pick up such ostentatious accessories during her stateside adventures?
A "sautoir," or a long, glamourous necklace that is punctuated in a large anchoring fixture such as a tassel, was a high-end staple of the 20s. The silhouette is evoked in this Cartier piece from 1928: five strands of pearls are yoked together with a diamond-and-ruby square. It's worn over a black Chanel dress. We can see this looking particularly fetching on Cora—or maybe even her mother.
We've already seen some fur on Downton Abbey—Rosamund favors the most extravagant furs, being from town, while the Dowager Countess and Cora wear fur occasionally on their collars. But no one has worn a fur-trimmed coat quite as bombastic as this one from designer Augustabernard, which is white fox edging light-gray velveteen in 1929. May we suggest it over Lady Mary's wedding dress for any wanderings outside?
Could Lady Mary's bridal gown—if she goes through with the wedding!—be satin, like this one on bride Peggy Fish in 1926? The draped silk gown daringly parts to reveal the legs (and satin slippers), and is topped with a starched Russian lace headpiece and copious tulle veil.
Or will she pick lace? This stunning gown is Chanel—long-sleeved and worn with gloves—and is made entirely of stiffened lace, worn by bride Betty Garst.
The Cloche
Virtually only wearable over one of the era's sleek short haircuts, a white felt cloche is shown here in 1926, over a zig-zagged tunic sweater and crepe-de-chine skirt, on tennis player Suzanne Lenglen. Lenglen was a muse for French designer Jean Patou, who created this ensemble and whose gamine, tennis-inspired looks became a foundation for 1920s sportswear.
What if Lady Edith starts taking her romantic frustrations out on the tennis court in Season Three? Thanks to celebrity tennis players like Lenglen, tennis and its attire became popular in the 1920s—here, in 1929, a polo shirt, pleated tennis skirts, and tennis shoes hit the courts at Oyster Bay; the outfit still looks 20s with the complementing turban.
The women of Downton are already quite enamored of a sleeveless look, although they've to-date covered their arms for dinner with opera-length gloves. As long gloves and muffs fell out of favor in the 1920s, arms were a canvas for cuffs, bangles, watches, and cocktail rings. This photograph dates from 1928.
If Lady Sybil ever has cause to dress up again, we could see her in this daring, tiered, silver-beaded confection from 1928, which was designed by Coco Chanel and is paired here with sparkling Delman shoes. We also love the fan, which is crafted of stiffened tulle. All the better for swatting away unsuitable suitors—or paternal critics, as the case may be.
Diaphanous Material
"It is unthinkable for the breasts to be sealed up in solitary confinement in a fortress-like castle like the corset, as if to punish them," wrote Paul Poiret—and so the figure was freed. The spurning of wincing undergarments happened as lighter, floatier, more diaphanous fabrics came into favor—like that seen here in a Chéruit design from 1928, in which the skirt is made fuller with four wide godets to show the legs. The sparkles are silver paillettes, the shoes are Delman, and the model is Caja Eric, a Ziegfield girl.
Suggestively moving while doing the dances of the day—time for the Charleston at the Servants' Ball?—this fringe festoons white crepe-de-chine Vionnet with a chevron patterning in 1925. She looks ready to galavant with newly mobile Matthew.
Low Backs
To emphasize the oval scoop of "back decolletage," the mod and graphic beading on this black crepe dress makes use of pearls, crystals, and tiny mirrors, and is shown in 1925 on Alden Gay. Rosamund, this might catch you a new husband.
Black and White
A dress that would have looked right at home in a scene from The Artist, this 1924 ensemble from Chanel is the full embodiment of some of the 20s' most glamorous trends, including cascading ropes of pearls, exposed ankles, a tiered fringed gown, and a lyrebird tail-feather fan. If there's any justice, Lady Mary will wear something this dramatic next season—preferably while telling somebody off.

Raleigh, NC (Sports Network) - Sylven Landesberg led all scorers with 23 points, as the Virginia Cavaliers opened their ACC schedule with a 70-62 win over the NC State Wolfpack at the RBC Center.
Mike Scott tallied 14 points and seven rebounds for the Cavaliers (9-4, 1-0 ACC), winners of five straight. Sammy Zeglinski added 10 points and eight boards in the win.
Tracy Smith led NC State (11-5, 0-2) with 18 points and nine rebounds, while Dennis Horner scored 12 in a losing effort.
Virginia had a nine-point lead in the final minute of the first half despite shooting just 36.7 percent from the floor in the period. The Cavaliers went into halftime with a 30-26 lead.
NC State led by as many as 10 midway through the second half, but Virginia chipped away at the deficit and took the lead for good on Scott's tip-in with just under four minutes to play. Virginia shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half and went a near perfect 17-of-18 at the foul line.
The Cavaliers' free-throw shooting proved to be a key difference in a game that featured nine ties and 11 lead changes.

Seems the forums hates me today , wrote for what seems like an hour and it didn't post.
Anyway.... the morning started out by packing the bike and trying to calm down , was exceptionally wound up and the cobwebs were rather thick . After choking down a cliff bar and a cigarette , I walked about the lake area trying to absorb the peacefulness the water and surrounding fauna had to offer . At about 8:30 I felt I needed to take off before I decided to do something stupid like bail . Julian Price campground was the goal for the day, so southbound I went .
The man that built the BRP rode a motorcycle , you can't convince me otherwise. Beautiful scenery , beautiful curvy roads ....and the gods were looking out for me because I was buzzing well north of the posted speed limit and rarely saw another vehicle...let alone a ranger . A stop at Meadows of Dan for gas and a little amusement at the sign advertising the special , possum pie , I set off to see what lie ahead .
I arrived at Julian Price campground. ..16 bucks for a site 15 ft from the water was worth it
My only complaint was the company for the evening ...a douchebag on a poorly tuned Harley that kept riding around the loop like everyone was impressed with his backfiring behemoth and this guy...
Who thought I enjoyed his romantic singing , which was performed within 15 ft of my tent all night long . My dinner consisted of oodles of noodle and spam cooked in my trusty Jetboil...delicious
Morning arose ... bike packed ...after a cliff bar and half a canteen of water to wash it down , on I went .
I met a couple from Quebec riding north on two BMW GSAs , a group from Novia Scotia on metric cruisers heading south and at the pulloff for the highest point ....I met an Australian who purchased a Kawasaki Vulcan online in Wilmington, NC and was riding the country and Canada for the next few months. Sounded like a hell of an adventure .
Continuing south , my favorite overlook was the Devil's courthouse , a beautiful out cropping at 5700 ft above sea level .
(Wow....that worked !)
I must say ... the temperature ranges were amazing ..and the weather seemed to change every other mile . Wonderful ....
Started dropping elevation toward my ultimate goal ... the Southern end of the BRP .
(artsy pic )
I wound my way down without stopping and finally , at approx. 16:30 , I pulled into the Oconaluftee vistors center outside of Cherokee . Much needed because I thought I was gonna pass out from the heat with cold weather gear on from being up so high. Stripping off the gear with an audience of elderly women from a church group. ..I had completed my original goal . 105 miles of Skyline dr and 496 miles of BRP... ( I skipped the boring detour north of Ashville because of a crack in the road )
After a little sightseeing at the visitor's center , I set off to Maggie Valley to find a room. Holiday hotel...nothing fancy , clean and very nice people , would recommend checking it out if you are in the area. Dropped my gear , headed down the road to a place called Legends and enjoyed a Joker Burger
Yes...thats peanut butter and it was damned good !
Spent the evening shooting the shit with the couple next door from Kentucky ( he was a Vietnam vet , Army ) and a younger guy in for the bike rally (which I am glad I was leaving in the morning ) who was a Blackhawk pilot just returning from Afghanistan . Good people....

Five names to watch at winter meetings
December, 2, 2011
Eric Karabell | ESPN Insider
Baseball's winter meetings begin this weekend in Dallas. From a fantasy baseball aspect, I'm always watching to see what teams are thinking, which players are potentially on the move and how much money will be spent on overrated closers. When one player moves on, it generally affects others.
Ever so briefly, as we recently published my bold predictions for pitchers in 2012 and that might take some time to digest, here are five hitters with fantasy futures to watch in the coming days, weeks and months.

VADODARA: If you have reached Vadodara by a late-night train and want to grab a bite, be prepared to sleep hungry. Minutes after the clock strikes 11 pm, lathi-wielding policemen swoop down on restaurants opposite railway station every night asking them to down shutters..
This is a daily affair in the area that is thronged by thousands of passengers, who come out of railway station hoping to find decent food at night.
Those running the eating joints in the area are agitated over the policemen's behaviour and such an early deadline. Police said that they are just following government notification that allows eateries to be open only till 11 pm.
"Hundreds of passengers including little children arrive in the city till midnight by rail. Many of them are hungry and just need decent food. But, we are not able to cater to them due to the strict deadlines," said an owner of a restaurant opposite the railway station.
"Some days ago a policeman asked me to shunt out people, who were eating inside my restaurant after 11 pm. How can I ask the customers to get up and leave in the middle of their meal?," another joint owner added.
City police commissioner Satish Sharma said, "If the restaurant owners want their deadline to be extended, they have to give an application which will be scrutinized. If deemed fit, the deadline may be extended till 1 am." Police officials also said that the state government notification has made exceptions for eateries in public places like railway station, bus depot, hospitals and business hubs.
The police are also keen to down shutters of eating joints early to avoid unnecessary ruckus by the young crowd that hangs out at such places till late in night.
An eating joint owner in Sayajigunj said, "The police should go soft on restaurants near railway station as we are only serving people who come looking for dinner late in the night."

I find myself the reluctant recipient of a Wolfgang Puck 10 cup rice cooker. I used it for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised that it actually worked.
Does anyone own one of these, or something similar, and what else can you do with it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There have been several well-populated threads about rice cookers here. Start by scrolling back to this one which references the other in one of its posts. |
I only use mine for rice - I now eat alot more rice than I did before I had a rice cooker. In fact I don't think a white potato has been eaten in my house since that time - DH loves rice. Lots of times we'll have one of those Thai rice mixes for a quick side dish on week nights. |

Kathy, That's so cool. I am anxiously awaiting your results since I want to get my Plumeria seeds going, soon Bill |
Kathy I know we already spoke about this but I'll give the warning here too. Make sure you aren't using biodegradable packing peanuts! I used this method several years ago and at the time didn't realize that there even were biodegradable peanuts. They were white and looked just like any other styrofoam packing material. I made my little boats, labeled them ,inserted the seeds, put them in a tray of water and then watched them dissolve into a sticky mess. lol When you use the regular peanuts this method works quite well. |

Hy guys- Ok, Bill, I'll keep you posted! Karyn- I think I'm using the regular peanuts. It's been almost 24 hours and they're still staying afloat with no breakdown! But thanks for the warning, I appreciate it! |
The biodegradable ones begin breaking down almost immediately. You're safe. lol My P. stenophylla seeds are up, 6 days. |

Karyn- How warm did you set the heating mat at? |
I don't use a thermostat but it's probbly around 85. I turn the mats off at night. We keep the house around 70 so they never get cold. These are all being started inside. I'm keeping the GH too cool at night to start tropical seeds. |

Very neat project. I would probably just pot them up like regular adult plumeria - same media. That is what I always do. I have a ton of plummie seeds I need to plant and lots of packing peanuts we got from some airplane parts crates last spring. so I might just try this. I hope my seeds are still viable they are from last year lol. ~SJN |
Cool Kathy. Thanks for the update. Let us know what you pot them in and give us a few follow ups. Bill |
I agree with SJN. I use a regular high quality potting mix for rooted plumies. The only time I use a different medium is when I'm rooting cuttings. I'd wait until the cotyledons are open, which won't be long, before potting them up. I wouldn't leave them in the "boats" until true leaves appear. |
- Posted by kasha77 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 12:56
Karyn- I was just about to pot them up in perlite, coir and granite grit. Are you saying to leave them in water until the first leaf appears? I guess I didn't quite understand your last post! LOL! |
Sounds like Karyn is saying don't wait until their 1st leaves appear. Great job Kathy! |
I wait until the cotyledons (seed leaves) appear, not true leaves. There's no reason to pot plumeria seedlings or even a rooted plumeria in such a gritty mix. Save that for rooting cuttings. |

Great job! keep it up your pictures are great, I am wondering about starting some seeds like that, but I would like to try something different,like putting the container in the oven just to see if thewy will sprout that way, what do you all think? Thanks Marcelina Nunes |
I started some this week.. I got tired of fighting the peanuts so I used the top of a food container from the resturant.. Kylie |
Kylie that looks even easier |
Looks like an alien world, LOL! Kylie, it appears that the flatter styrofoam would keep the seeds more steady -- good thinking. |

Good job recycling those food containers kylie!! |
- Posted by kasha77 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 14, 12 at 19:11
Wow- they do look so easy! Good going girl!:) |
I just have a question, how do you get them out of the styrofoam before planting them, or do you remove it at all? |
Ibartoo ,you have to brake the styrofoam very careful not to damage the seedling. |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 12 at 12:32
What other seeds do you guys think would be fun to try and might work with this method? |
The little flat boat break in half very easy.. I don't have a heat mat so I put them in the microwave and turned on the surface light and it provides heat.. Several have already germinated.. I have been looking around for something else I could start like this also.. Doesn't Garlic Vine have similar seeds?? Kylie |
Garlic vine does and orchid tree, pandora vine, catalpa tree, trumpet vines. Allamanda seeds aren't similar but their shape might make this possible. I know I've planted others with a similar shape but can't think of them offhand |
Thanks everyone, I may try this. I have lots of plumie seeds to start soon. Linda |
I just found some Cat's Claw seeds I am going to start them this way and see what happens.. Kylie |
I'm trying it with allamanda seeds. They have a nice flat teardrop shape but they take a while to germinate, about 4-6 weeks, so I'm not sure that they won't rot instead of sprout. |

this was kind of interesting I am a Canadian who has a home the past 12 years, half a year in Fort Myers FLorida I have four plumeria trees in my yard but mostly do not see them in bloom when I am here Here I think I am sort of a knowledgeable gardener, but always more and more new or rather great ideas. Thanks for the information as well |
I'm not sure when plumies normally set seed in FL but I go down to West Palm every winter and often see trees with seed pods that appear close to ripe. The seed pods take many months to mature. You might have seen pods and not known it. Here's a link to some plumeria seed pod pics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: plumeria seed pods

The Byzantine Empire's long run — 1,100 years — may seem remote from the 21st century, but a reading of its history offers at least three timeless lessons. Understanding some of the fatal weaknesses in the Eastern Roman Empire may help clarify the political and economic problems that America faces today and the choices we have in responding to them.
Founded in 330 by the emperor Constantine, the eastern half of the Roman Empire was centered in Constantinople, the New Rome. By the fourth century, the empire had endured more than a century of instability, internecine warfare, and economic decline. In that context Rome's eastern lands, arcing around Asia Minor, the Levant, and northern Africa, were especially attractive, being richer and more settled than the comparatively backward parts of western Europe. It was in part to assure continued access to these sources of wealth that Constantine relocated his capital. By A.D. 476, Rome had been overrun by barbarian tribes, and before long only Constantinople in the East had a seat for the emperors.
In essence, the soldiers became permanent farmers who could be called on for military service yet would be self-sustaining. They relieved the empire of the necessity of recruiting and paying expensive and often unreliable foreign mercenaries. Moreover, while becoming the most effective frontier defense the state had ever known, as individual landholders they added enormously to the productive capacity and wealth of the empire by cultivating their tracts of farmland.
Byzantium's strength was fatally undermined when the government lost control of the countryside and either acquiesced in or abetted the formation of private landed estates. The farmer-soldiers were steadily alienated from their land, often owing to exorbitant government taxes, and became instead tenant farmers under increasingly independent feudal chieftains. This destroyed the effectiveness of the Byzantine army and also led to a drop in productivity and in tax receipts to the central government. In crushing the entrepreneurial spirit and independence of the small farmers, Byzantium weakened its economy and hollowed out its military. Eventually, politics in the Byzantine state became a competition between what we would recognize as private-interest groups, aristocrats and feudal landlords, who reduced state policy to the padding of their pockets and the settling of personal disputes.
The second lesson from Byzantium is monetary. In addition to establishing his new capital, Constantine the Great created a currency of unparalleled stability. The gold solidus, or nomisma, maintained its value and was the primary international currency in Eurasia until the 11th century.

text: This is a partial mash recipe I adopted and partially modified from a local brew store recipe. This is my first recipe post, so I'll just steal another post's recipe presentation: Recipe Type: Partial Mash Yeast: Nottingham Ale [used as last resort for this brew.... Wyeast #1o28 London is better as per home brew store recipe] 'Batch Size (Gallons): 5 Original Gravity: 1.08o Final Gravity: 1.10 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 28 days at est. 68F Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): N/A Tasting Notes: Strong honey taste This recipe is fairly straight forward and only slightly modified in the amount of honey I used [I opted for 2 pounds of honey, as opposed to 1 pound]. I was really going for a strong honey presence and that is what I got with the addition of the extra pound of it. The Porter itself was pretty tasty on a cold day. Nearly all of the discerning tasters who sampled my beer enjoyed the strong taste. However, I personally found it a bit stronger than I would have liked and would consider reducing the honey to 1.5 pounds. Here's the ingredients: Fermentables: 1 Lbs American 2-row 4 oz. Carafa Special II 4 oz. Caramunich Type III 4 oz. Black Patent Steeped in 1 gallon of water at 154F for 6o minutes, then removed grains. Rinsed grains and added rinse water to pot [one gallon water added]. Then added extract: Extract: 6.6 lbs. Dark Liquid Extract Hops: 2.5 oz Fuggle - 1 hour .5 oz Fuggle - 1o minutes Additions: 2 pounds of honey Stop boil and add 2 pounds of honey until all honey is dissolved. [you can also add a clarifying acid at some point, but it is not necessary in my opinion] Yeast: Nottingham Ale [or, as suggested by brew store and probably preferable in this case, Wyeast #1o28 London, #1o84 Ale, or #1187 Ringwood Ale] Cool the wort to 7oF and pitch yeast. Add additional water to make 5 gallon batch. I left batch in my primary fermenter for 4 weeks, however you should probably leave the batch in the primary fermenter for 2 weeks and move to a secondary fermenter for the next 2 weeks. I used dextrose to bottle. Cheers.
