Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Abortion's new debate generational
In American Grace, Robert Putnam and David Campbell's survey of how religion influences politics in America, the writers relate that on the question of abortion, approval seems to be trending downward.
Young people, they say, "are more ambivalent about abortion than their parents' generation." Even if they would allow for abortions, the circumstances in which abortion might be approved are fewer. Why is that?
Part of the reason is simply that today's young people know more. We in Canada know what that is about. Recently, when counsellors within some ethnic communities observed gender selection was happening after pregnancy ultrasounds and more girls than boys were being aborted, they properly sounded a warning.
Those were real children being rejected purely on grounds of their gender. We know it is no problem to recognize the gender of the child in the womb.
And much more can be known as well. The writers of American Grace pick up an illustration from the Oscar-winning movie Juno in which the central teen character becomes pregnant. She calls an abortion clinic and "cheekily" says, "I would like to procure a hasty abortion."
She doesn't follow through with it. The turning point for her comes when she meets a classmate outside the clinic, there to protest what's happening inside. The friend tells Juno the baby already has fingernails. "It has fingernails?" the young mother-to-be asks. She can't erase the thought from her mind and ends up leaving the abortion clinic.
The authors of American Grace say many young couples now take ultrasounds of their babies-to-be. "Both of us have had many friends and relatives display ultrasound photos and never once has an expectant mother used the impersonal word 'fetus' to describe what we are seeing. Ultrasounds are pictures of their baby-to-be."
It is this knowledge and more that is weakening the support for abortion.
Why is it then the Canadian media and our politicians are so anxious to avoid a debate on the abortion question? Anyone who recalls the legislation that died in the Senate in 1988 will remember it would not have outlawed abortions. Instead, it would have placed a limit on the instances in which abortions would have been legal. While I believe abortion to be ethically unsupportable in almost any case, I supported the legislation as a workable compromise on a very divisive question.
With the Senate action we were left with nothing to protect the baby in the womb. Their only protection is those health-care providers who refuse to do abortions for conscience's sake.
A fall 2011 Environics poll showed 72 per cent of Canadians want some legal protection for children in the womb, with 28 per cent wanting it from conception. The September 2011 poll told interviewees the heart begins beating at about three weeks, and brainwaves can be detected and organs are in place in two months. According to LifeSite news, "When asked when life should be protected, 28 per cent said from conception, 17 per cent said after two months and another 17 per cent said after three months. Only 20 per cent supported the current policy in Canada of no protection for human life until birth." A very high 92 per cent said sex-selection abortions should be illegal in Canada.
It has always seemed to me the people protesting so loudly against any attempt to legislate on abortions are only a hairbreadth away from Tommy Douglas during the 1930s, when he was writing in favour of eugenics to purge the population of its undesirables. Curiously, when Heather Mallick wrote her scornful column in the Toronto Star about Kitchener MP Stephen Woodworth's attempt to raise the question about when a fetus becomes a person, it was clear she saw his parliamentary opposition as she saw herself, smart and, at least on the surface, strong. Woodworth's speech in Parliament, she wrote, was not impressive. On the other hand, "His opponents," she wrote, "were on fire. High praise for Quebec, whose MPs were brisk and contemptuous. B.C. Liberal Hedy Fry is one of nature's demolitionists. And Niki Ashton -- so young, so smart -- spoke about young women, especially the ones demonstrating outside Parliament in the red gowns of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale."
Demolitionists all!
What all of these people need to remind themselves is this: The people who carry a concern about abortion are fully as entitled to be heard and respected as they. Politicians are as responsible to carry pro-life voices into our legislatures as theirs. Abortion is not a question that will go away. On May 10, Ottawa will have thousands of Canadians on Parliament Hill to call for legal protection for the child in the womb.
Last year, more than 15,000 assembled there. They were a small representation of the Canadians who believe we need laws to protect the unborn. In April, the Canadian Institute for Health Information reported 64,641 abortions in Canada in 2010, and those figures did not include Quebec or many children aborted in private clinics, and the numbers for B.C. were incomplete.
This in a country that likes to see itself as humane and caring. It is unacceptable that this does not include the unborn, and our politicians should take note.

Last spring i planted one chayote in a container n had it on my driveway but it didnt do well there. I even posted about it last year. So i moved it to my backyard late summer n it's has taken off. As you can see in the photo it's has taken over. I won't be able to plant anything there now. If anyone has grown this will it bear fruit? Thanks Terry |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm surprised your vine hasn't flowered. Chayote flowers during short days, and the equinox has just passed. Look closely in the leaf nodes at the vine tips, the flower clusters are very small. If it doesn't flower now, it probably won't do so until around September. I grew Chayote when I lived in San Jose & San Diego, but my vines were always killed by frost... so my harvest was in the Fall. I don't know if they will fruit as well in Spring. |
We grow chayote here and for us it produces a gigantic crop between Nov-Dec, starting to flower after the fall equinox. Some years though, there is negligible fruit production. Yours look like it likes its new habitat and it is getting ready to feed the whole neighborhood. The bees love the tiny white flowers. |
" Yours look like it likes its new habitat and it is getting ready to feed the whole neighborhood." Reminds me of the first time I grew it... the vines easily overflowed the fence & began eating my neighbor's shrubbery. They are truly impressive plants. Cabrita, I take it that your vines always died back in the Fall like mine did? I never had them continue growing through the winter, as Terry's apparently did above. Terry, if you are still out there, did you check for flowers? |
Yes Zeedman, they die back and the leaves turn brown, but on a good year there is some new growth as well coming from the root area. For us it produced Oct-Nov-Dec. We have started selling at our local farmer's market and that was a good thing. It was interesting that since it got so big and climbed over the bay tree, we missed some of the fruit. In January when we were pruning it, we noticed a few fruit had started to sprout while still attached to the original vine, just waiting to fall on the ground and start a new chayote plant. |
Zeedman, i found this one at the far right corner, it's the only one that fully open. And if u can see that branch made it way to my neighbor side. It's so hard keeping them on my side some have gone thru the fence. Terry |
If I understand the way it growing, the flowers are coming on the sides of each branch. Can't wait to see how much fruit it will give me. Thanks to all who reply. Terry |

Brian Brown gave little thought to danger as he slipped on his boots and headed out for a typical afternoon of weed-eating and lawn work on a family farm Saturday.
Shortly after setting to work, he felt what he thought was a bee sting on his knee. Thinking little of it, Brian swatted the annoyance off and went back to work.
But by that evening, his mother Patricia Brown of Calabash recounts, Brian's knee started to swell and streaks could be seen shooting upward from his knee to his groin.
After not approving John Floyd as West Brunswick High School's athletic director last week, the Brunswick County Board of Education has changed its mind.

"The board did not know and was not informed that Mr. Floyd has been working two weeks," Babson said. "It has caused a disruption in the school, and that's not what we're all about of course."

Solar Stocks That May Not Survive to 2014
First Solar
(FSLR - Get Report)
First Solar shares are up 31% this month.
For First Solar to be worth more than a 10 times multiple -- at $44 it is currently trading at about 11 times the mid-point of its 2012 guidance -- the top line has to grow considerably from this year's expectation and the cost equation has to drop in a way that improves the bottom line considerably more than can currently be assumed.
First Solar's earnings power today is still based on power purchase agreements with utilities that won't be replicated in terms of profitability, as well as Department of Energy loan guarantee economics, making it difficult to frame the financial equation in 2014 and beyond. "Once you get past 2012, First Solar has to remain low cost and grow at a double-digit rate. First Solar is worth more than $40 if they can get their cost structure down to the 50-cent per watt range, and make balance of systems cost reductions," Simko said. "There are black holes in that road map, and right now with a risk adjusted outlook for the stock, it doesn't seem great given the challenges and the market." If First Solar grows at 15% a year in the next 5 years that implies it is at an 8 gigawatts to 9 gigawatts market share a year, and that could lead to operating leverage and expense reduction, and an earnings scenario that is much higher than the $3 annual earnings which is now the bottom line view for the company. However, Simko said, "The greater than $40 scenario is not one I would advocate here." He wants to first see the company reach the 65-cent per watt cost target by the end of 2012 and bring manufacturing to 100% capacity. On the other hand, "It doesn't scream overvalued to me at $43 compared to other names, and based on the pipeline and positive income statement. There is much less cash flow than before but it's still there, so to me that makes it less of a screaming short than other names," Simko said.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Saint Bathans Things to Do
I loved this old hotel - we sat outside in the bright Otago sunshine with a cold glass of wine enjoying the atmosphere and playing with the friendly hotel dog.
Built in 1869, the Vulcan is the only one remaining out of the thirteen hotels that once served the St Bathans gold miners. It oozes character with it's faded old sign and polished copper window sills, and one of the rooms is supposedly haunted. A TV crew filming here once were spooked enough to leave in a hurry with their filming unfinished. No sign of ghosties when we were there but I would love to stay here sometime.Related to:- Wine Tasting

This gorgeous looking lake is found right opposite the Vulcan Hotel, although it is a fair way down to the shore. It was once a hill, but the mine workings have left behind this sparkling lake, made a striking blue colour by the minerals present in the waters and in the surrounding steep cliffs. The picnic site opposite the hotel means the views over the lake are a lovely backdrop for your lunch.
Otago sees some of New Zealand's hottest and driest weather during the summer, but during the bitterly cold winters the lake freezes right over. The ice becomes thick enough to skate and walk on, and 'curling' contests are held. -
On the hill between the church and the Vulcan, this lovely old kauri-timbered building is St Bathans historic Post Office (kauri is a native timber which was often used in buildings by the early European settlers). It still runs a postal service, and you can buy postcards here and send them on their way complete with a unique St Bathans postmark.

Saint Bathans Favorites
Favorite thing: St Bathans is hidden off the main road, so you need to know the turn off if you are to find it.

None seems inclined to display chart cards depicting fares between various points
TIRUCHI: Willing to enforce, but hesitating to implement forcibly…
This is the predicament the officialdom in the district finds itself in when it comes to implementing the new auto fare structure warranting fixation of electronic meters in autorickshaws.
Though the norm was put in place earlier this year, instances of auto operators fixing electronic meters in and around Tiruchi city are far and few in between, and in most cases, the metres exist only for name sake.
But, none seems inclined to display the chart cards depicting fares between various points in the city in accordance with the new system wherein a fixed fare of Rs.14 could be charged for the first two km and Rs.6 for every additional km. The waiting charge is 40 paise for five minutes. The auto operators can charge 25 per cent more during night hours. While new auto-rickshaws only have to get the electronic metres configured as per the new rates, the old ones should be fitted with new meters that are stated to cost between Rs.2,500 and Rs.4,500.
Time limit
The last that was heard of the issue was when officials held a few rounds of consultations with consumer organisations and fixed a time limit for auto operators to fall in line. Though officials have acted on a few specific complaints since then, there has still been no change in the pitiable plight of consumers, by and large.
Periodic checks
The transport authorities do conduct periodic checks and insist on electronic meters while issuing fitness certificates. But, surprisingly, they disappear when the autos get back to business. As things stand, the role of the police does not get beyond imposing fines on autos that err on counts of overcrowding and rash driving.
The onus on making the new fare system fructify is more on the transport authorities.
The stand of the auto drivers has been that the rates should be determined on the basis of local factors such as proliferation of autos and auto stands, the small radius of the city due to which the autos can make money only on one-way trips, and the difficulties they face due to the digging up of roads for implementing the underground drainage system.
Consumer organisations disagree with the automen's viewpoint and say that there is abundant scope for high patronage once the fare system is rigidly adhered to the city since a chunk of the passengers would prefer to avoid overcrowded buses if they are assured of hassle-free travel in autos without the need for bargaining.
At present, people hire autos only in very compulsive situations, points out M. Sekaran, Convener, Federation of Service Organisations, citing the instance of hundreds of passengers, who alight in droves from the Tiruchi-Thanjavur buses at Ariyamangalam, avoiding autos and putting up with the difficulty of travelling in overcrowded city buses instead of travelling towards Chathiram Bus Stand.

I bought this really old German Zeiss Camera on Ebay for only 25 Euros. It was built about 70 or 80 years ago in Stuttgart/Germany, and it still works perfectly! Read more about it and see some sample photos after the jump.
When I received this camera I had no idea whether the camera still works or not. So, I decided to put in a 120 black and white film to find out more about this old treasure. The camera back can be opened after pulling out the locking bolt. Loading the camera is the same as with any other medium format camera, so it should not be a problem for anyone.
There is a knob on top of the camera. You have to press it for opening the camera's "front". The Nettar will snap into taking position! And there's the lens!
How to focus: Distances are engraved on the lens mount. The Nettar is focused by turning the front-lens mount. It starts with 1.2 m and goes in small and then bigger steps until infinity.
Setting the Diaphragm: For setting the diaphragm on the desired lens aperture, turn the diaphragm setting lever until the diaphragm setting mark points at the desired lens aperture figure.
Setting the exposure time: Turn the milled setting ring until the exposure time setting mark is opposite the desired exposure time. Possible exposure times are B, 1/25sec, 1/50sec, 1/100 sec, and 1/200sec. Prior to every exposure, the shutter must be wound with the shutter winding lever. It took me so long to find out about this! Many many thanks to the World Wide Web!
So I took the camera for a walk through the city and do some test shots. It is a rather heavy camera compared to a Holga or a Diana. But I really enjoyed taking this one out for a stroll and it even was a nice day, not as dark as all the other winter days.
When the film was exposed I couldn't wait to develop it (with Tetenal chemicals) and was really surprised by the results. The photos are sharp and everything seems to work just great in this old camera! It's not an everyday camera, but I sure will take it with me every now and then. What a nice old camera!

Knitted Dissected Animals Prepare Kids for Bio 101
Ah, Biology 101. We may be from different nations and cultures, but I'm sure those of us who have gone through that class share very similar experiences: The fear. The excitement. The jumping, twitching animals. The smell. Oh, the smell. The teacher who repeatedly hit the catfish in the head with a stone while the class watched, one half in horror, the other literally rofl'ing. Just another one of those insane things we went through as adolescents. Re-live those memories with The Crafty Hedgehog's knitted dissected animals:
The frog up there is hand knit from a silk/wool blend, while its innards are needle-felted out of 100% pure wool. It even comes pinned to a dissection tray for that added morbidity!
The poor lab rat above is made from an acrylic/mohair blend with wool innards. Both the frog and the rat can be taken out of their trays (they're only pinned down, not glued to their trays) and… cuddled. Wednesday Addams approves. There's also a dissected Easter Bunny, which has Easter eggs in place of innards.
All of the creations sell for $125 (USD) at The Crafty Hedgehog's Etsy shop. Quite expensive eh? If you know how to knit, you can purchase the knitting patterns for the frog and the rat instead for only $4 each. Too bad there are no knitted dissected catfish. That would have done it for me.

Movies in a Minute: Man of Steel
A young boy begins to realize he has powers that no one else does.
Years later, he must learn how to use his powers, figure out what he was meant to be and his duties in a world not like him. He is needed to save the world from destruction and must become the symbol of hope for the people of Earth.
I thought the movie was OK. I didn't really buy the love story and there were a lot, I mean A LOT, of battle scenes. I was becoming overwhelmed. Although, I will say I learned more about the background of Superman than I have before.

We petitioners call on the seven members of Breckland Council's Cabinet to resign following the recent revelations over the purchase of Barnham Broom Hotel and Golf Club. This was an inherently risky undertaking that has been proved to be nothing short of a disaster for Breckland council taxpayers and a scandal William Nunn and his Cabinet colleagues have by there actions led the Council into disrepute and should account for their actions by resigning NOW from the council as a direct consequence of their leadership decisions which have been shrouded in secrecy.

And that action for recovery of the debt against Barnham Broom should be instituted. and if it is not the matter referred to the ombudsman, auditor and/ or police for consideration of the legality of not doing so when they have a pecuniary interest in the matter.

Werder Bremen have played down reports that the club are preparing to make a bid to sign Celtic midfielder Ki Sung-yueng.
The South Korea international's agent claimed earlier this week that Bremen, and Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen, had shown an interest in the 23-year-old.
Bremen's general manager Klaus Allofs concedes Ki is a 'very good' player, but he cooled suggestions that an offer is imminent.
"We are definitely aware of Ki Sung-yueng, he certainly is a very good player," Allofs told kicker-Sportmagazin.
"However, at this point in time, he is a non-issue and is pretty much off the agenda for our club."
Celtic have already fended off interest in Ki since the end of last season after rejecting an offer from Russian side Rubin Kazan.
Ki has previously stated that he is happy to stay with the SPL champions and that his priority is to be playing regular first-team football.

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Emerging-market stocks advanced, driving the benchmark index to its steepest five-day gain in more than two years, on speculation Europe will stem its debt crisis and as a Chinese state investment fund bought shares in four banks.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbed 1.2 percent to 909.43 at the close of trading, bringing the five-day jump to 9.4 percent. A rally in lenders helped the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index of Chinese companies traded in Hong Kong to a 4.4 percent gain. The Taiex Index surged 2.6 percent after a holiday in Taiwan yesterday and Brazil's Bovespa climbed to the highest level in two weeks. The Micex Index retreated 1.2 percent in Moscow after jumping 9.1 percent in the preceding three sessions.
MSCI's developing-nation gauge posted the sharpest five-day gain since July 2009 after German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged over the weekend to deliver a plan to recapitalize Europe's banks and address Greece's debt crisis by Nov. 3. Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. led gains among the nation's biggest lenders after Central Huijin Investment Ltd. started buying their shares.
"What we're starting to see is a more coordinated response to this global problem," Philip Poole, head of macro and investments strategy at HSBC Global Asset Management, said in an interview in Hong Kong. "Europeans finally have started to get their act together, the Fed and central banks provided dollar swap facilities, and the Chinese are helping with sentiment by addressing this issue in the banks."
Slovak Vote
Slovak lawmakers failed to approve an overhaul of Europe's bailout fund today, but Finance Minister Ivan Miklos said the revamped fund will likely be passed in a separate vote later this week.
European Union and International Monetary Fund officials indicated Greece will get an 8 billion-euro ($11 billion) loan next month under a 110 billion-euro bailout, as European leaders move to reopen talks on a new package that may mean deeper writedowns on Greek debt.
The team of officials from the EU, IMF and European Central Bank said Greece has made "important progress" in fiscal consolidation, according to a statement today upon completion of a review in Athens. The mission warned that more spending cuts would be needed in 2013 and 2014 to meet deficit targets.
Fed Minutes
The Federal Reserve will release minutes of its September meeting tomorrow, after Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on Oct. 4 the U.S. central bank is prepared to take further action to promote a stronger economic recovery.
The extra yield investors demand to own emerging-market debt over U.S. Treasuries plunged 22 basis points, or 0.22 percentage point, to 428, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI Global Index.
The spread between U.S. and Polish debt fell 29 basis points, the biggest drop in 10 months following Prime Minister Donald Tusk's election victory.
Most emerging-market currencies weakened against the dollar, led by the Mexican peso, which dropped 1.2 percent. The rand followed with a 1.1 percent decline as metal prices fell. India's rupee fell 0.7 percent while the lira slid 0.6 percent. The forint depreciated 0.8 percent versus the euro.
Agricultural Bank climbed 13 percent in Hong Kong after earlier gaining as much as 16 percent, an intraday record. Central Huijin, the arm of China's sovereign wealth fund, said it began buying shares yesterday in the nation's four biggest banks. Shares of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., Bank of China Ltd. and China Construction Bank Corp. also surged.
Macau Casinos
Jim Chanos, founder of New York-based hedge fund Kynikos Associates, said he has kept holdings in casinos in the former Portuguese colony of Macau for 1 1/2 years, citing their growth and more credible financial figures.
Oil futures for November delivery gained 0.5 percent in its fifth day of increase in New York, capping the longest rally this year.
The Bovespa rose 1.1 percent in Sao Paulo, led by OGX Petroleo & Gas Participacoes SA, which advanced 3.1 percent after billionaire Eike Batista increased his stake to 62.5 percent from 61 percent. Mexico's IPC index rose 0.4 percent to the highest in more than a week.
Largan Precision Industry Co. climbed 6.9 percent in Taipei after its customer Apple Inc. received more than a million preorders for the iPhone 4S in a single day, putting the Cupertino, California-based company on a record-setting pace ahead of the device's Oct. 14 release.
South Korea's Kospi Index rose 1.6 percent to the highest in more than two weeks.
The Markit iTraxx SovX CEEMEA Index of eastern European, Middle East and Africa credit-default swaps declined four basis points to 321.

Hello! I recently bought three tillandsia and I have a couple questions about them. How much sun and water do they need? Is it best to keep them inside or outside? Thanks! |

The how and where depends on your climate especially when it comes to moisture. I dont grow any of mine in full sun its to hot here. The right amount air flow is very important to tilly's. Once you get them happy they are an easy care plant. |

They are so pretty! I have several of them and I grow them on my south facing window sill with filtered light. I also have a few mounted as a live art picture frame. I spray mine twice a week with spring or purified water only. Tap water isn't good for them. Another method to watering them is soaking them for 30 minutes in a bowl, but in the morning only once a week. I don't grow mine outside as I'm afraid that a bird will grab them up as bird nest material. Good luck with your new babies and thanks for sharing :) |

Soaking is dangerous if they are the frosted type Tilly's ..silver , grey...it will rot them |
I've been growing several varieties (including many grey and silver colored species) of Tillandsia indoors throughout the years with very good success. My indoor Tillies are soaked (I never mist) in de-chlorinated tap water for approx. 4 hours, once a week, religiously. I have not experienced rot or other problems by doing so. There will always be varying opinions pertaining to Tillandsia (e.g, light, water, air circulation, fertilization, etc.). What works for one person may not work for another and their Tillandsia. Wish I had an accurate count of how many times I've read (or heard): "It can't be done, that's impossible, it's too difficult"... or how about "you can't use tap water, you can't use copper, no direct sunlight, no high humidty, if the leaves are green-grey-silver-white"... and the list goes on. Some pics below. |

tiller, are you saying you soak the heavy frosted plants????? |
^ Yes, I soak all of my indoor Tillandsia. Because of the quantity of my collection, watering indoors is done once a week by soaking the plants. After the soak, they are allowed to dry off for an hour or two before being repositioned. Some species that get by with very little water in nature (like tectorum and paleacea) are also soaked in the same manner as my other tillies. No problems, and they are thriving. Because my growing conditions (indoors) are controlled, realitive humidity ranges from 20-30% during the daytime and bounces up to approx. 50% at night (I'm sure this has to do with lights being off, along with CAM respiration during the night). Thanks for the kind words, TJ. Hopefully the OP won't mind a few more pics (by no means do I want to derail the OP's thread or be disrespectful with adding posts and pictures). |

I've been getting away with soaking my heavily trichomed tillandsias as well, streptophylla, crocata, seleriana, and a pruinosa. I think as long as they're not sitting in a super high-humidity area after the soak it's fine. Even after an hour dip I notice mine dry out almost entirely after about 2 hours, indoors and outdoors. |
The above mentioned Tillandsias do not take kindly to heavy soaking. Their makeup is one where constant soaking will degrade the trichomes. A light misting would be best. |
I soak all my Tillandsias (which range from heavily frosted ionanthas to Spanish moss) in recycled fresh-water aquarium water (which has fish urine in it, naturally). The water I put in the tanks is Brita filtered, too. I spritz the plants with a combination of filtered water and tank water. I bathe every plant once a week on Sunday for at least an hour, but the greener, more delicate ones I'll often give a second soak for 1/2 hour on Wednesday (this all coincides with when I change out aquarium water; I had previously put that water on potted plants). Lately it has been humid here in Albuquerque (20-30%! and it's been a little rainy). The plants don't seem to be begging for soaking like they did in drier times. My Tilliandsias have also been outside in a north-facing porch all summer. We get very bright light here and these days it is breezy, too. Recently I decided to set the grayer plants out in full sun for 10-15 minutes every afternoon because I wanted to see if that would help some of them turn a bit red or just make their lives more interesting, like the Xerographica and the Concolor. So far, so good. I enjoy seeing people's pictures and reading about how they keep their plants happy. |
Albeit the soaking method may not be an optimal method of watering for many, It turns out that soaking has been favorable for my indoor Tillandsia throughout the years (including the species I mentioned above, along with the four mentioned by noah123). I do agree that "constant soaking" has the potential to degrade the trichomes. In my situation (application of indoor controlled growing techniques) I have learned constant temperatures, lack of humidity, light intensity, photo-period duration, and good air flow, come into play with attaining a favorable outcome in regards to the soaking method. Because of the southern 'right-coast' location where I reside (with extreme temperature & humidity shifts), my approach to growing/watering Tillandsia outdoors is a completely different scenario. |
True. Southern and Gulf resident's methods are different than those of us here in Southern Cal but no less effective. Your temperature and humidity extremes can really make it difficult. Here, my T. tectorums and all plants in that complex are lucky to get a thorough drenching once a month while some of you might soak them twice a week with great results. |

Beautiful plants o2tiller Im just getting started I have two. Is your tilly room seperate from your house and what kind of light do they receive.Also how many fans do you have and how often are they on. |
Appreciate the compliment, simplegreenguy. Two... very often turns into 10, then 20, then... My indoor Tillies are indeed kept in a separate room (but not separate from the house). I use a spare bedroom with one small south facing widow (have a small assortment in front of this window utilizing sunlight). The majority of my collection is kept inside different sized enclosures, mainly used for viewing. Artificial lighting is used for the enclosures. Have been gradually switching over to LEDs during the course of the past 2 years. Still experimenting with different size diodes, different wattages, different lumen outputs, and different spectrums. Photo-periods (lights on) are 10-11 hours in the spring and summer, and about 9 hours in the fall & winter. I use 'very quiet' 12v d/c computer fans inside the enclosures to create air movement (on timers running 1/2 hour every hour when the lights are on). Some of the mounts for my plants come from pine trees that grow around the house. I use pine bark slabs on a lot of my vertical spaces (free and easy to attach). Very easy to remove plants for watering or other maintenance. |

I do not really soak any of mine, and I have most of them hanging from my apple tree, which provides partial shade in summer and fall, although not very much in spring. They seem to be able to handle the spring sun, however. I also have Spanish moss hanging from the same tree, it is pretty much gets full sun, but I water it frequently. When we have hot weather (such as recently) I mist my tillies every other day or so, but I don't know whether it is really necessary, but it doesn't hurt them, as they dry off quickly.

I don't think so but some already are else it won't let you save.
Ok, so this may prove to be a stupid question, and a simple one to answer, but is there any way of making some fields mandatory when filling it details? For instance, in Behaviour Management, if there were certain fields that we wanted to ensure were filled out, could we do it?!
Cheers in advance
I don't think so but some already are else it won't let you save.
I thought that might be the case. Some already are, so I was hoping there would be a setting that could be changed to change other fields to mandatory, eg. Location etc
You need to be careful about mandatory fields. Schools need to get children into classes ASAP and that means getting them into the MIS. Forcing entry into fields risks the guess just to get the child onto the system. Better to allow a null entry and come back later.
CAM (27th May 2014)
I wasn't after it for basic child data to be input on the system. I was after it for, specifically, in the Behaviour Management, so some fields, which are often overlooked, are made mandatory so staff have to fill them out
@PhilNeal what you need is a procedure that can be configured by the school (to dictate their 'mandatory' fields) and then run to return all the missing information...
... or is that Census?
It's just down to policing it and getting the backing of whoever is responsible for that area. You can help them with reports, so they can get on top of the culprits not putting the info in.
I'm sure it wouldn't have happened as much on paper, but online people seem to think skipping something because they "don't have time" is okay.
This is why I love and loathe the census, it is a ton of work but helps to spot and fill in blanks and errors with the data.
We disallowed right click as they didn't have to fill in a description and would never go back later to do it!
If you add it via a class using the Behaviour button in links they at least get the whole form to fill in.
Depending on who is doing the recording maybe you can train them to use that and it will fill in lesson info, but not location. Maybe you can get them to always add via the main AM register so it's always the same.. I know it'll never happen, and they won't bother changing it to be correct either.
You really have to crack down on it. How are you using location, we used to have every subject listed, and also other entries for outside, breaktime, before school etc because that worked for how we wanted to report.
We just have our different blocks listed, as well as "Zones" that our staff are on duty in. I guess staff are going to have be drilled into using it...and those that don't do it taken out the back and never seen again...

The other day, I walked into the bathroom and caught my 11-year-old son fondling his penis. Is this normal? I remember the old warning about boys going blind from this. It's not true, is it? - Jane
As kids mature physically and emotionally, they become increasingly curious about their sexuality and their own bodies.
Although infants and younger children do touch their own genitals from time to time because they like the way it feels, masturbation is more common in older kids, from the preadolescent and teen years and beyond.
Contrary to the beliefs of some, masturbation won't cause your son to grow hair on his hands, become infertile, go blind, or develop emotional problems. A small number of kids and teens with existing emotional problems may become preoccupied with masturbation — just as they may become overly occupied with other behaviors or thoughts.
Other than that, masturbation is generally considered by health care professionals to be a form of harmless self-exploration and sexuality. While some preteens and teens may choose to masturbate, others may not.
Because masturbation is often considered a private topic, kids can feel too embarrassed to talk about it, fearing that their parents will be angry or disappointed. Many may prefer to talk to older siblings, friends, or their doctors rather than a parent.
If you continue to be concerned or have questions about masturbation, you may want to talk to your child's doctor.

Helen B. SnyderHelen B. Snyder
FLORENCE Helen Beatrice Barall Snyder passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 17, 2012, in her home at The Lodge at Otter Creek in Middlebury, Vermont.
Helen was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 29, 1921, the daughter of Leon and Bertha (Jakira) Barall.
Helen worked tirelessly throughout her life in many endeavors. She raised a family of four children, served in leadership positions for many years with the PTA, worked in the administration at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, served on the Board of Trustees for Chaffee Art Center, served proudly in the sisterhood of the Rutland Jewish Center, and served on the Board of Directors of the beloved Dismas House of Rutland.
Helen married her companion for life, Murry A. Snyder, on February 17, 1946. Together, they raised a family and made a wonderful life in New York City and Florence, Vermont.
Helen will always be remembered for her radiant smile, beautiful hats and eternally large heart. Throughout her life, all were welcome in her home as equals. To this, there was no exception.
Helen loved to entertain guests and volunteer for her community. She was a constant presence at the Blood Drive in Rutland. She loved to travel, which took her to remote corners of the world. She was a strong supporter of the arts and loved theater, music and fine art with equal devotion.
Helen leaves a legacy that includes life with passion and death with dignity. She was a strong believer in teaching tolerance, that justice for all was more than a phrase and that you could think globally but needed to act locally. In spite of these attributes, when asked to explain her reason, she was fond of saying, Because Im Your Mother!
Helen was often referred to as The Prettiest Girl in Hartford. In truth, she was the prettiest girl wherever she happened to be at the time.
Helen was predeceased by her husband Murry Snyder, son David Snyder, brother Stan Barall and sisters Lillian Cane and Madeline Bedick.
Helen is survived by her son Andy Snyder of Florence, Vermont, daughter Karen Snyder-Kadish of Norwood, New Jersey, son Adam Snyder of Homewood, Alabama, daughters-in-law, Chris Anderson of Manchester, Vermont, and Sue Buckingham of Homewood, Alabama, and loving grandchildren Ethan Snyder of Brooklyn, New York, Caleb Kadish of Norwood, New Jersey, and Chrissie Wohland of Boston, Massachusetts; and many loving in-laws, nieces and nephews and their extended families.
The family also wishes to thank the staff and residents at the Lodge at Otter Creek, Kathy Laframboise and the angels at Addison Home, Health and Hospice, Jeanni Vargas, Milly Jackson and the staff of M&M Private Care and Doctors Diana Barnard and George Fjeld.
Donations in Helens memory may be made to:
Rutland Dismas House
103 Park Avenue
Rutland, VT 05701
A celebration of Helens life will be held at a later date. A notice will be provided and all are most welcome to attend.
Arrangements are under the care of Tossing Funeral Home of Rutland.MORE IN Obituaries0124 RH Obits Harwood edited photo flag Full Story0124 RH Obits Denis rites no photo no flag Full Story0124 RH Obits Wilson edited no photo no flag Full Story -

A minor update with a couple of bugfixes.
Added an option to fade in the alarm clock (Mopidy only, sorry mpd people)
Added an option to ignore unplayable tracks when building the Music Collection (only relevant to Mopidy)
Added a German translation by Frank Schraven. Thanks Frank :)
A minor update with a new feature and a couple of bugfixes
Loads of new stuff this time around.
Lots of good new stuff in this one.
Non-english speakers have a lot to thank Vitaly Ignatov for:
1) Vitaly provided a patch that allowed RompR to use the browser's default language for getting Last.FM info. This set me off on making Wikipedia do it too.
2) Vitaly suggested I make RompR translatable, so I did.
Vitaly also contributed the patches that have finally permitted me to add custom scrollbars to replace the awful old browser default ones, and to make the playlist scroll to the current track.... read more
The next version of RompR will support translations - the interface can be translated into any language. So we're in need of people who can help out, since I only speak English and I'm not even very good at that.. :)
If you'd like to help out, please read the wiki post: https://sourceforge.net/p/rompr/wiki/Translating%20RompR/
It's been a while but RompR 0.40 is ready.
The docs will be updated in due course but until then here's a summary of the changes:
Small bugfix - the search function wasn't working in the Files list. Hopefully it should now. I don't think there are any other changes.
A Small Update
Fixed a small bug in the search
Added the ability to use albumart stored in your local album folders. Simply add the path to your local music in the new field in the preferences panel, and your music folders can be searched for images. I'll update the Wiki with a fuller explanation.
The download is up here on SF.net, Ubuntu users might have to wait some time for me to updates the PPA because I can't be bothered with Linux all that much any more :)
RompR goes mobile! Version 0.30 now has a fully-functional mobile client!
The mobile client will be selected automatically if you access rompr from a mobile phone. I've decided that tablet devices run rompr quite well in normal mode and so these should display the normal rompr.
To force the mobile version just go to /rompr/?mobile=phone
To disable the mobile version just go to /rompr/?mobile=no
All the features of rompr are present in the mobile version - this is not a slimmed down 'lite' version, but a fully functional one that has been tweaked for small screens and touch interfaces.... read more
Some updates and new features. This may well be the last release for the time being.
Some incremental changes from the previous release.
You test and you test and you test and then you find a bug the day after your release :)
In 0.20, RompR will crash if you enable 'Don't Scrobble Radio Tracks' and then play... some radio tracks :) 0.20.1 fixes this. There are no other changes.
Phew, what a lot of work.
What started as a little bug hunt turned into a host of major changes - some necessary, some just because...
This version has some major changes to the way the pages are laid out. You won't notice any difference but it is now a lot more efficient. However this comes at a price - you will require a modern browser (i.e. a recent version of Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Opera, or Safari). Internet Explorer definitely won't work now, but I don't think it ever did :)
What else is new?... read more
My pseudo-random version number system continues!
There isn't much new in this release. I've made a few minor tweaks and bugfixes and a couple of speedup improvements.
But the biggest change is that the music Collection is now cached, which massively speeds up loading the albums list and the files list.
There is a new option in the Configuration to make RompR update the Collection every time you load the page - enabling this option basically reverts RompR to the old behaviour. Additionally there are new buttons to force a Collection update and to force a complete Rescan of the entire collection.
People running mpd/apache on slow machines (eg Intel Atom/Raspberry Pi/hacked NAS devices) might find this update to their liking.
Enjoy the music :)
Version 0.16 has been released.
Yes I know the previous version was 0.12 - I had some problems with Ubuntu's Launchpad service which entailed bumping the version number every time it went wrong.
Anyway, good stuff in this release:
Drag and drop from the sources list to the playlist is now supported. This entailed a change - you must now double-click to add things to the playlist. A single click will select things, You can make multiple selections with Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on Mac OS).
The playlist panel and sources panel can be resized.
Last.FM radio has had another overhaul and should now work even more reliably than before.
Any radio stream can now be added to the 'Your Radio Stations' panel
Probably lost of other things I've forgotten about :)
I've created an Ubuntu PPA to give Ubuntu users an easier way to install RompR.
The deb file from there will probably work on other deb based distributions too.
This has bumped the version number up to 0.16, simply because Launchpad is a bit rubbish and it took me several goes to make it work. 0.16 will be uploaded to SourceForge as soon as I've calmed down :)
Well, it seems SF.net have changed the layout again and all the useful links have vanished. I'm looking for a host with a more reliable and better laid out user interface. If anybody knows of one I'd be interested.
Anyway, RompR version 0.12 is here. This version has a load of improvements. Many of them are behind the scenes but the major changes are:
1) Rewrite of the information panel so that it now has a full history menu and back/forward buttons. The panel will not update automatically if you've gone 'back' to read something.
2) Much improved internet radio stream handling. All of the icons for internet radio stations have been moved to one panel and I've added a new feature where you can enter the URL of any internet radio stream or playlist and have mpd play it (providing your copy of mpd supports the stream type). Stations you've added in this way will be remembered by RompR.
3) Albums or radio stations in the playlist can be 'rolled up' by clicking on the album icon.
4) Last.FM radio support has been further improved to get rid of some annoying bugs that have been in there for a while.
5) Many minor UI look and feel improvements
6) Last.FM login process has been improved so that the popup window no longer gets blocked by your browser (because it gets opened as the result of a mouse click)
7) The information panel can be hidden
8) The drop-down menus for saved playlists, etc, have a fixed maximum height which means they now get scrollbars when they go over that height
9) Many internal bugfixes and performance improvements.... read more
A couple of minor bugfixes from 0.10
Now sorts albums in alphabetical order in the albums list
An attempt to prevent last.fm tracks being shown as 'Unknown Stream' in the playlist
Album art uploads should now work on Linux and MacOS
Is it correct to go from 0.09 to 0.10? :D 10 is bigger than 9, that's how I work it out :D
OK, so two releases in a week. Yes, I've been bored, sorry - busy.
This version fixes a couple of small bugs in the hotkeys stuff that was introduced last time
It also adds a new file browser mode - so you can browse your music according to the directory structure on your hard disc. This has been the most requested feature. I can't see then point in it myself but I aim to please :D
Well, significantly earlier than expected, I've made a new version.
Version 0.09 adds a couple of features that users had requested, so:
1) Fixes the play controls to the left hand side, which stops them jumping around as track titles change.
2) Adds user-configurable keyboard shortcuts for next, previous, play/pause, stop, and volume.
Any suggestions for other functions you want as a shortcut gratefully accepted.
I think that's it. I haven't been able to test it much so if it all goes horribly wrong please go back to version 0.08.
This version fixes a bug that could have (probably did) prevent anyone outside the UK from listening to last.fm radio. There was a bug where this could happen in the UK too so this probably fixes that as well... :)
One bugfix and one new feature.
Bugfix: If you had an album with multiple discs not all tracks would be displayed in the case where either (a) the tracks weren't tagged with disc numbers or (b) you are using mpd <=0.16 and the files are m4a files. This fix makes rompr always display all tracks in this case, although it may not get the disc order correct.
New Feature: In the album art manager you can now choose to display only albums without covers
This is a bugfix release:
Album Art not displayed when Artist != Album Artist (introduced when Album Artist support was added in version 0.05)
Tracks with " in the filename could not be added to playlist
Strip leading zeroes from track numbers read from mpd
Use Disc number when sorting tracks for albums - mutliple disc albums will now be sorted correctly using disc number and track number from the tags.
Some new features and a few bugfixes. Got my first Reccomendation! Yay! The post under reccomendations also notified me of a few bug, most of which I've endeavoured to fix. So:
Volume control, scrobble % bar, and seek bar now work in Firefox. (What happened to Firefox, it used to be the one that did things right?)
There is now a favicon :)
Buttons now have tooltips (for browsers which support that, which is all ones I've tried)
Can now use the 'Album Artist' ID3 tag to help RompR sort your music collection more neatly. I've added a bit to the Wiki about this.
soma fm support. If you haven't seen soma fm, it's pretty cool - a bunch of free radio stations run out of a guy's garage (basically). It's free but if you like it please donate to keep it going :)
Well there seems to have been some interest in RompR. This makes me happy, so I've uploaded a new release.
So, version 0.04 adds a feature to allow the interface theme to be changed. After I spent ages making the brushed aluminium look I decide I now prefer the dark interface... You can theme it by mucking around with css. As this is the first time I've used css, the css is a real mess. Sorry. Just copy one of the existing css files, give it a new name, and mess about with it. A refresh of the browser will make RompR pick up your new theme.
Also fixed a nasty playlist bug which means Last.FM radio stations would not update properly if there was something in the playlist after them.
Added a couple of minor tweaks and a feature to allow you to choose when the song gets scrobbled - as in how much of the track should be played before scrobbling. 50% is the minimum - Last.FM specify this. It's the rules.
Enjoy. Let me know if you like it, it makes me want to keep going.
