China's New
Environmental Advocates
Until recently, the idea of environmental advocacy was largely unheard of in China. But that's changing rapidly. At a legal aid center based in Beijing, Xu Kezhu and her colleagues are helping pollution victims stand up for their rights. The second in a series on Chinese environmentalists.
by christina larson
Down a dark corridor of a university campus in Beijing, a gold plaque on a wall of peeling paint marks the home of the Centre for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims, a small office that is arguably the epicenter of public-interest law in China.
Inside the cramped suite, shelves buckle under the weight of binders stuffed with thousands of hand-written accounts of polluted rivers and contaminated fields across China. Embroidered gold and maroon tapestries adorn the walls, gifts from the villages whose legal cases the center has helped win.
Xu Kezhu is the center's deputy director and an environmental law professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, where its offices are housed. Unlike most of her academic colleagues, she is interested in the law not only as theory, but in practice. "China has many good environmental laws," she told me. "The problem is enforcement."

Xu Kezhu founded the Centre for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims after a trip abroad opened her eyes to China's pollution problems.
When I visited, the surprisingly jovial law professor was wearing a loose maroon suit jacket, pink blouse, and black slacks. In her mid-40s, she has long black hair falling well past her shoulders and a bright broad smile. Her window looks out on a dingy Beijing sky. Her screensaver is a photo of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., a white dome against a clear blue horizon.
During the last three decades, China has put increasingly ambitious environmental regulations on the books, but implementation lags far behind principle. In recent years, even as the central government has become more concerned about controlling pollution, China's environmental woes have intensified. Although Beijing vowed in 2002 to reduce sulfur emissions by 10 percent in three years, those emissions rose nearly 30 percent. (In 2006, the chair of China's environmental committee complained that some provincial governments upheld less than a third of Beijing's green laws.) Today thousands of unlicensed mines across China leach mercury into the soil.
The challenge of coordinating environmental enforcement across multiple levels of government — with central authorities often looking at the long-term picture, while regional officials remain more concerned about quick economic gains and local protectionism — is not unique to China.
But in the United States, for instance, two key mechanisms absent in China help enforce federal laws. First, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has direct oversight over local environmental bureaus and can intervene when regional officials ignore rulings. In China, the opposite is true: Local environmental officials report to the provincial governments, who have an economic interest in shielding local industry. Also in the United States, independent environmental lawyers can sue the executive branch when laws, such as the Clean Water Act or Clean Air Act, aren't upheld. In China, there is no long-standing tradition of taking the government to court.
Today, however, Xu Kezhu is one of a growing number of legal mavericks working to change the system. Xu told me that her goals are twofold: to "promote enforcement of environmental law," and to "tell the public how to respond when your rights are violated." The notion of rights is itself new in China — in the realm of environmental protection, or otherwise.
A dozen years ago, Xu Kezhu was purely a professor of environmental law at her university. "Back then my work was very academic," she says, "not as practical." In 1996, she moved with her husband, a diplomat, to Spain. During her first extended stay outside China, she was taken by Madrid's blue skies and by the concept of local civic organizations — people outside of government championing the public interest.
When she returned home two years later, she saw things differently. "I realized we had a very serious pollution problem in Beijing." From the window of her apartment, on the 16th floor of a Beijing skyscraper, she noticed that thick smog often hid the surrounding buildings, and she could smell the air pollution even inside. "Just to teach environmental law was not interesting to me anymore," she said. "I thought, 'I must use my knowledge.'"

Law students and professors volunteer to answer the center's hotline, giving free legal advice to pollution victims.
In 1998, Xu and a fellow law professor at the university, Wang Canfa, whom
magazine named as one of its 2007 "Environmental Heroes," co-founded the Centre for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims. The next year, they opened a free legal advice hotline, the first of its kind in China.
Initially, Xu spent three or four days a week manning the hotline. Today the phones are answered by a growing group of volunteers — law professors and young law students drawn to the center's mission — who field legal inquiries and record each complaint for their files. Of those calls, the center's staff has taken up more than 80 cases: They've won a third, lost a third, and a third are still pending.
One case Xu is currently working on in Hunan province is emblematic. In 2001, a chemical processing plant opened in Hunan's Shutangshan village. Although the factory provided the local government with a faulty environmental impact statement, local cadres, eager to preserve the jobs and tax revenue the plant had brought, overlooked this violation.
But after the factory opened, families living nearby began to notice new and troubling ailments: from vomiting and migraine headaches, to diminished rice yields and dead cattle. They came to believe the factory's sooty emissions and wastewater dumped into the local water supply, the Xiang River, were the source of these problems.

Christina Larson
The center's volunteers record citizens' stories on sheets like this, collecting information to see if legal action is an option.
The villagers first appealed to the factory owner to install more stringent pollution-control equipment. Then they brought their concerns to the local environmental authorities. But by the summer of 2004, little had changed. So the villagers turned to force to shut the factory down — twice storming the grounds to rip its power-supply unit off the wall. Each time, plant operations halted temporarily, while repairs were made, but the factory was back online within a week.
In January 2006, a representative from the village, a farmer named Chen Li Feng, made the long journey to Beijing, where she camped for two weeks in a train station's waiting room as she struggled to get an audience with the national environmental ministry. However, when that meeting occurred, officials simply gave her a letter directing local authorities to reexamine her case, and little changed. On her next trip to Beijing that November, Chen instead visited the offices of the Centre for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims. That's how Xu learned about her case.
Three months later, Xu paid a visit to the factory in Hunan. She photographed factory conditions and interviewed village residents, local officials, and plant workers. She also showed the villagers how to collect samples of wastewater emitted from factory pipes and organized survey teams to record health problems and crop damage in affected areas. In May, she returned to further question the factory owner.
Today Xu is preparing a lawsuit against the local environmental protection bureau, which green-lighted the factory's faulty environmental impact statement. If successful, the lawsuit will force the factory to shut down until it meets environmental standards.

The waste pipe of a factory in Hunan Province drains into the local water supply, prompting villagers to seek Xu Kezhu's help.
Recognizing that her team can only handle a small number of the tens of thousands of pollution cases like this one across China, Xu's office has also held an annual training workshop on environmental law for the past six years. So far they have trained about 300 lawyers and 200 judges from across the country.
When I visited the village of Shutangshan, the local organizer Chen told me that she hopes that Xu can finally "make the law work." We were sitting in her modest home, with the factory's smokestacks and shriveled orange trees in the backyard visible through the window. She told me that what little she had — her land, her health, her livelihood — was fast slipping away.
The room was dominated by a poster of Mao on one wall, and a loudly ticking clock. This region of southern China has twice nurtured movements of beleaguered peasants who have risen against the central government: first the anti-imperial forces of Sun Yat-Sen, then the peasant armies of Mao Zedong, who was born in a village nearby.
Today Hunan province is a hotbed of environmental unrest. In this, it is not alone. In 2005, China was shaken by 60,000 pollution-triggered "public disturbances" — demonstrations or riots of a hundred or more people protesting the contamination of rivers and farms. The Ministry of Public Security has ranked pollution among the top five threats to China's peace and stability. The longer the law fails, with China's business elite prospering while millions of farmers stand to lose everything, the closer the countryside comes to erupting into revolt.

What exactly is new (or news) here? The Center for Legal Assistance to Victims of Pollution has been around (and gotten lots of press coverage) for a decade, and there have been lawsuits against polluting companies and even government agencies for even longer than that.

The work of Xu Kezhu and her colleagues at the center is truly inspiring. Very glad to hear their story. They're in the forefront of building a new, greener China and deserve admiration and support.

Great article. It is encouraging to hear of grass-roots environmental efforts in China.
Americans are not powerless to help fight pollution in China. The US imports about 20% of all goods manufactured in China. So, possibly up to 20% of their pollution is caused by our demand for their products. Shipping these goods (ocean freighters, trains and trucks) add to the pollution. When we see Olympic athletes hacking and coughing in August, we should know perhaps 20% of there misery is caused by American consumers buying Chinese goods.
Two solutions: Buying US made products would help reduce China's pollution. Also, we could insist through regulation or public pressure that US importers require their manufacturers in China to be environmentally responsible. (Similar to pressuring companies to get 10 year olds out of the sweat shops). So, the grass-roots could put pressure from the bottom up and our business leaders could put pressure on some of China's "business elite" from the top down. Christina, what do you think?
Take care, frank

At least we Chinese are truly making efforts to protect the environment and correcting our previous mistakes, just as many other countries. We need encouragement and good advice, not blame or ridicule.

As a matter of fact, improvement of people's health and environment is much more important than the growth of GDP.
Posted by Fang Minjie on 08 Aug 2008
"With central authorities often looking at the long-term picture, while regional officials remain more concerned about quick economic gains and local protectionism." I fully agree it's high time that these matters were addressed.

Excellent take on the problems of modern China. The work of Xu Kezhu and her colleagues at the center is truly inspiring, but have the changes really taken place or is the government blocking reform?
If you can have a few more of people like Xu Kezhu and her colleagues, there is a real chance of reform in China.

Final working unit, for cleaning I bypass the filter and on brew days I loop through them for crystal clear beer! This thing works like a champ!
That looks like a great setup! Just be sure that you're using drinking water safe garden hose so you don't get any chemicals leaching into your water. When you say your loop your beer through your filters on your brew day, are you just talking about your water or are you filtering your wort?
In action, this may very well be my favorite piece of brewing equipment to date!

There are no specific details on the technical specifications of the showcased models, but according to a recent post on German-language netbooknews.de, they run on both Android and Xandros, providing users with a general perspective on the features that will be available on these systems. In addition, the machines adopt a design similar to that of ASUS' Eee PC 1008HA Seashell netbook, featuring an ultralight, slimline chassis.
The exact specifications and features of ASUS' first Snapdragon-based netbooks could change before the Taiwanese company will officially take the wraps off them. However, it's nice to see that the system vendor is currently toying with the idea of releasing a considerably different line of Eee PC netbooks from a hardware point of view. These systems will provide users with an alternative to the successful Intel Atom platform, consequently creating a more competitive market.
Late last week, Qualcomm shared its view on the mobile computing market, stating that an upcoming wave of new portable PC devices would be based on the company's new Snapdragon platform. These new devices are to be called smartbooks and essentially turn out as a combination between a smartphone and a netbook. Expected to become competitors of the netbook market, smartbooks will make way for a wider range of devices, capable of providing the end-user with the basics in computing experience.

Hey all,
So after confirming yesterday that I definitely need new shocks and knowing that my truck is going in for a CV axle anyhow (my drivers side is literally missing one!) I am trying to weigh what I should do here.
So here's a little info.
The truck is strictly a toy for me, not a daily driver but I have a z71 with a 6" lift that is also a toy and I hate driving it because I nearly have to jump to get into it so I do not want anything ridiculous.
The truck needs new wheels and tires and I bought it knowing that, I actually bought MO951 wheels but they dont fit over the manual locking front hubs so I am back to the drawing board on that for now so I can get any tire/wheel combo that would be appropriate for the lift and/or just new shocks.
So if this was your truck what would you do? what kind of shop would you take it to? if I go just new shocks should I go with bilsteins? or does it even matter?
if I go for a lift (suspension lift Im assuming) that basically just means new shocks anyways right?
Thanks in advance for the help all

Short Film: 'Mute' is a Ton of Animated Mouthless Fun
Features By Scott Beggs on October 11, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Violently comic or comically violent? Whatever the right answer, this fantastic short from Job, Joris and Marieke introduces us to a quaint, weebles-style animated world filled with people who were born without mouths. For some reason society has still evolved to include a lot of mouth-based items (what cruel maniac manufactures baby pacifiers in this madhouse?), but when an accident with a sharp knife opens their eyes to creating their own voice-slits, the resulting bloody carnage sets everyone to singing. The perfect Friday distraction, it's a beautiful celebration of something truly, truly bizarre. Think "The Book of Bunny Suicides" in humanoid, musical form.
Exploring The Twilight Zone #107: Mute
Exploring the Twilight Zone By Scott Beggs on November 24, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWith the entire original run of The Twilight Zone available to watch instantly, we're partnering with Twitch Film to cover all of the show's 156 episodes. Are you brave enough to watch them all with us? The Twilight Zone (Episode #107): "Mute" (airdate 1/31/63) The Plot: A little girl is treated like dog feces because she has a special gift. The Goods: When Ilse (Ann Jillian) was born, her parents decided to do a little experiment. Instead of talking to her like a normal child, they deprived her of language in order to exercise her natural psychic abilities. As a result, she became incredibly strong at speaking telepathically with the other children in a school where such a thing was the norm. Sadly, the school wasn't run by a bald guy in a wheelchair, and when her parents die in a fire, she's sent to the United States with a new set of parents. Her life is now filled with people who speak, a bunch of schoolmates who think she's an idiot, and a teacher who also has the gift of telepathy but views it as a curse. Good times ahead!
Duncan Jones Looks to Comic Books to Get His Next Movie Made
In Development By Nathan Adams on March 11, 2011 | Comments (3)Moon director Duncan Jones' sophomore effort Source Code hasn't even hit theaters yet, but he's already talking about what he wants to do for his third film. Before he even began Source Code, Jones was trying to get producers to sign off on a script he had written called Mute. It was described as a sci-fi influenced noir with a sprawling, futuristic version of Berlin serving as the backdrop. Unfortunately, times are tough, and Jones hasn't been able to find funding for such an off the beaten path project. He's moving on to another pitch instead, but this isn't the last we've heard of Mute. Jones told Gordon and the Whale that he is going to take the Darren Aronofsky doing The Fountain approach and produce the script as a graphic novel, "I've been talking to my producer today and we have decided that we're going to release Mute as a graphic novel. Because we've had so many problems trying to get this film made, you know? The people who are involved with financing films have just been…shy…shy of making the script. So what we decided to do is we're going to make a graphic novel of it, prove it…prove it to an audience that this works and maybe in the future get the chance to come back and make it."

The new product works with the Cisco Jabber audio- and videoconferencing client for Cisco-based UC systems. Here's a quick look.

Imagine If Janet Porter Ran For President
Perhaps one of the most alarming realizations about Michele Bachmann is that even if she hand never a member of Congress and a Republican presidential contender, we would probably still be writing about her here on Right Wing Watch because she is, at heart, a hardcore Religious Right activist.
Tim Murphy of Mother Jones has a new profile of Bachmann which, I feel, perfectly demonstrates that point:
There was one issue that seemed to consume Bachmann. The slow creep of the gay rights movement was, in her words, an "earthquake issue," with the potential to shake the foundation of society itself: the family. Taking a page from Schaeffer, who vilified the "rampant sexuality" and moral relativism of the Romans, Bachmann saw the gay rights movement as a secular ideology that posed a direct challenge to traditional marriages.
As she'd done before with the Profile of Learning, Bachmann embraced her role as a messenger. When EdWatch, as the Maple River Education Coalition was later known, invited her to deliver a speech at its 2004 convention, she unleashed a masterful presentation, mixing slides with self-deprecating humor, that hammered home the same urgent message that has since become familiar to a national audience: The forces working against you are bigger than you think.
Bachmann ripped into pop culture, telling her audience about a dangerous show she'd discovered called Sex and the City. ("It's received critical acclaim," she said, "so that tells you, 'Don't watch it.'") She warned that The Lion King soundtrack was potentially toxic to small children because it was written by Elton John, a gay man. She urged her audience to pray for Melissa Etheridge, suggesting that the lesbian songwriter's breast cancer diagnosis might be a wake-up call for her to turn away from her sinful lifestyle. To Bachmann, homosexuals had even usurped the English language. "It's part of Satan, I think, to say that this is 'gay,'" she said. "It's anything but gay."
The Bachmanns worked as a tag team. In 2005, they both participated in the Minnesota Pastors' Summit, a conference sponsored by the Minnesota Family Council that was designed to train religious leaders for the culture wars. Michele led a session on a state gay marriage amendment; Marcus, in a rare moment of public activism, moderated a talk called "The Truth of the Homosexual Lifestyle."
Imagine if Sally Kern or Janet Porter were not only running for president but winning the Iowa Straw Poll and being treated like a front-runner and you start to get an idea of just how truly amazing/terrifying this development is.

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 My brothers, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality. | 1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. |
2 For if someone enters into your assembly in fine clothing with a gold ring on his finger, and a poor person in filthy clothing also enters, | 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. |
3 and you look favorably on the one wearing the fine clothing and you say, "Be seated here in a good place," and to the poor person you say, "You stand or be seated there by my footstool," | 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," |
4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? | 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? |
5 Listen, my dear brothers! Did not God choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him? | 5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? |
6 But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich exploiting you and they themselves dragging you into the courts? | 6 But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? |
7 Do they themselves not blaspheme the good name {of the one to whom you belong}? | 7 Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? |
8 However, if you carry out the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well. | 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. |
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, [and thus] are convicted by the law as transgressors. | 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. |
10 For whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles in one [point only] has become guilty of all [of it]. | 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. |
11 For the one who said "Do not commit adultery" also said "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. | 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. |
12 Thus speak and thus act as those who are going to be judged by the law of liberty. | 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, |
13 For judgment [is] merciless to the one who has not practiced mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. | 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! |
14 What [is] the benefit, my brothers, if someone says [that he] has faith but does not have works? That faith [is] not able to save him, [is it]? | 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? |
15 If a brother or a sister is poorly clothed and lacking food for the day, | 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. |
16 and one of you should say to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and {eat well}," but does not give them what is necessary for the body, what [is] the benefit? | 16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? |
17 Thus also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself. | 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. |
18 But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. | 18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. |
19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe, and shudder! | 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder. |
20 But do you want to know, O foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? | 20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ? |
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works [when he] offered up his son Isaac on the altar? | 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? |
22 You see that faith was working together with his works, and by the works the faith was perfected. | 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. |
23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness," and he was called God's friend. | 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. |
24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. | 24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. |
25 And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works [when she] welcomed the messengers and sent [them] out by a different route? | 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? |
26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. | 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. |

Gary native bringing home a taste of Broadway
By Lisa DeNeal firstname.lastname@example.com April 2, 2014 1:50PM
Updated: June 2, 2014 3:17AM
A little more than a year ago, Broadway star, singer, songwriter and Gary native Chester Gregory added "co-writer" and "producer" to his portfolio when he launched his one-man show, "The Eve of Jackie," and performed before audiences at sold-out venues across the United States.
Gregory, an alumnus of Emerson School of Visual and Performing Arts, is coming home to perform his production at 7 p.m. April 18 at the West Side Theatre, inside West Side Leadership Academy.
Gregory's show concludes the West Side Theatre Guild's 2013-14 season of performances.
I had the pleasure of seeing "The Eve of Jackie" last year at the Black Ensemble Theater in Chicago, which is where Gregory debuted on stage years ago.
The theater's founder and director, Jackie Taylor, cast Gregory to play the late soul crooner Jackie Wilson in "The Jackie Wilson Story (My Heart is Crying, Crying)." That production ran for three years with Gregory playing the title role and launched a career on Broadway, where he starred in "Hairspray," "Tarzan: The Musical." He did national tours with "Dreamgirls" and "Sister Act."
Gregory, who co-wrote "The Eve of Jackie" with Crystal Lucas-Perry, plays Jackie Wilson again, spotlighting on what may have happened the night before what would be Wilson's final performance.
Wilson collapsed on stage during a benefit concert on Sept. 29, 1975, and was in a coma until his death on Jan. 21, 1984. He was 49 years old.
When I interviewed Gregory last year, he said he wondered what the concept was like and what Jackie did the night before he collapsed.
"I created a dialogue with the audience and he is compelled to talk to them, bringing an entirely different side of Jackie Wilson and what might have happened the night before," Gregory said.
Tickets for "The Eve of Jackie" are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Tickets can be bought online at www.eventbrite.com.
Tickets can also be reserved by calling (219) 791-3513. You can also buy tickets at the following locations: Big Daddy's BBQ, 4213 Cleveland St., Gary, (219) 888-9592; and Bilco's Barber Shop, 2448 Broadway, (219) 886-1483.
Come out and support a phenomenal performance by Gregory. I guarantee that you will enjoy it.

I have a pretty blue marguerite daisy I bought from the annual section of a garden center, put it in a terra cotta pot and it looks lovely. But now I like it so much I want to have it around next year! I also have no idea if I'd be able to find this variety again next year, since the garden centers can only sell what the local grower send, and it's not common one here. Does anyone know if I could over-winter this guy indoors and bring it back out next year? How would I do that, as well? Try to keep it growing or give it a dormancy period? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Save seeds. Take cuttings in late summer/early fall and start new plants under a grow-light indoors. Even here without frost, it's a short-lived plant, and best the first year. |

is there a reason ... why it cant go in the ground??? here are your variables: they are full sun plants... window light might not work ... you will spend about $100 on lights and electricity ... terra cotta pots are a nightmare indoors... very hard to deal with.. add $5 to 10 more dollars for a new pot ... potting media is very important indoors.. add 10 to 20 more dollars ... in snow country.. forced air furnaces dont create or allow enough humidity for OUTDOOR plants .... so add another 10 or 15 $$$ for a tray .. some gravel.. to create humidity .. plus other variable .. i think you get the point... when it all boils down.. you are going to spend one to two hundred dollars.. for a plant you can buy next spring. for $3 ... now.. all that said.. GO FOR IT ... i always want to enable some newbie in gardening ... but dont be surprised or POd if you fail ... no one ever learned something new.. w/o trying ... i suggest you visit the container forum for info on growing plants in pots ... especially in regard to terra cotta indoors ... with a furnace ... the pot itself can wick water out of the media ... and though cactus can enjoy such.. on a heavy water plant.. it can be a problem .... balancing it all out ... and then the houseplant forum.. for any wisdom they might offer as to dealing with perennials as houseplants ... and GOOD LUCK!!!! ken ps: presuming apartment.. i would find a friend with a yard.. plant it in the garden in late sept or so ... and go get it back in april ... repot it.. and love it up .... that would be called 'healing it in' for winter ..... |
There are multiple plants called 'Marguerite daisy' and you'd get better advice if we know which one you have. A photo would help. The Latin name would tell us for certain. Is it possible your plant is Felicia amelloides? I found that name when I searched 'blue Marguerite daisy.' Do an image search for Felicia amelloides and see if the photo matches what you have. They are tender perennials sold as annuals. I've never grown them, but my quick online search told me they are only winter-hardy in USDA zones 9-11. Your username suggests you live in Colorado, USA. If that's the case, your zone could be anything from 3a to 7a. Too cold for this plant to survive winter outdoors. If you 'heel it in' as Ken suggests, it will die with the first frost. But I found one web site that states they can live many years if brought indoors and tended carefully. Good luck! |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Misty!
Facts about Misty
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Misty's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Misty is a great young kitten. She started out very shy & stand offish & she has blossomed into a calmer, more trusting kitty who likes everyone. She is in foster care in Greeley along w/a family w/kids & another kitty.
Other Pets at Duncan's place, a cat sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Misty, a Loveland Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Loveland, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Loveland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Loveland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Loveland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Loveland paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm new to NFA items. Just found out my Form 4 was approved this week. Wait time from file pending to approval was 4 months 18 days. From initial purchase to approval 5 months 13 days. What I am confused about is what happens now, Gov sends the stamp to my house and I take it to store to get the item? Any thoughts on how long it takes for them to actually send the stamp. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dan. I read the link you sent before. It merely speaks of the wait times, which hold true to the paragraph, less than 6 months. However I should clarify my question a bit. Does the Gov send the stamp to my house or to the store where I purchased the item and is it typically a long wait time to receive the stamp?
The BATF will send it to your dealer. Your dealer will call you, hopefully in short order. If you don't hear from your dealer in about two weeks, I would give him a call.

Posts from My Room
Eliza's Eclectic Glam Nursery
My Room
Name: Eliza
Location: Charleston, South Carolina
I was so excited when I found out I was having a little girl, but I have to admit the design junkie in me was equally as excited at the prospect of decorating her nursery. So we took to the task of cleaning out our 10' x 10' office-slash-junk room and making way for baby girl.
Archer's "Happy Place" Nursery
My Room
Name: Archer
Location: Memphis, Tennessee
I didn't really start with any specific inspiration for the room, but I wanted it to be consistent with the rest of our home - equal parts Danish Modern and English Country with eclectic, earthy accents. I wanted it to feel young and fun, not too babyish, soft and warm. I thought about our "happy places" from childhood and went from there.
Grayson's Knoxville Nursery
My Room
Name: Grayson (7 months)
Location: Knoxville, Tennessee
I adore every little detail of this nursery but the space still has plenty of room for us to make transitions that reflect Grayson's developing personality and all the art pieces he'll bring home from school eventually, and the things he'll need to explore life. I hope he'll be a musician like his daddy, so that definitely helped define the music theme a bit. ;)
Phoenix's 'Perfect Green' Room
My Room
Name: Phoenix (2)
Location: United States
I think the hardest part for me when designing this room was choosing the color. I seriously went through about eight test pots of paint and a million swatches. I wanted the perfect green color - not too grass, not too neon, not too turquoise. Paint is so hard, am I right?
Stella's Happy, Calm, Montessori-Inspired Room
My Room
Name: Stella
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Stella's room is very small, about 80 sq ft, so we knew we wanted the room to feel as large and open as possible. We also wanted to adhere to Montessori principles in setting up her space. Fortunately, this fits in with our own aesthetic of having modern, clean lines, and not a lot of clutter. It needed to be a space that would grow well with her, so keeping it simple at the start was important. As she grows up we can add more furniture, etc. based on her needs.
JT's Terrific Transportation Room
My Room
Name: JT (7)
Location: Ijamsville, Maryland
JT is our 7-year-old train and transportation aficionado. We wanted to create a room where he could let his trains and imagination run wild. We also wanted to build a room that would have a bit of grown-up appeal as well, and would fit with some of the rustic feel of the rest of the home.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Blackstone Group - bgglobal.com in August 2014.
Interview DetailsTwo in-person interviews with different people including HR, two VPs, and two Project Managers.People seemed nice, however the office looked very old and dull!
The interview included 3 different tests including Powerpoint, Spelling test, categorizing...none were really related to the job.
After going in for two interviews, which each took 2-3 hours, they never got back to me or responded to any of my follow up emails!Interview Questions- Nothing really hard, just the regular interview questions plus couple of tests Answer Question
No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Blackstone Group - bgglobal.com in December 2012.
Interview DetailsI met a current employee at a career fair. The next day I sent her my resume and she forwarded it on to HR. HR contacted me the following evening to schedule an in-person intervier.
The office atmosphere was very off-putting when I arrived. Everyone seemed sad or annoyed. It might have been the weather.I went in for the interview, which was supposed to last about two hours and included a skills test. The test included very basic questions. (The first one was a sequence counting backwards by 1.) I was a little confused for some of the verbal questions because the answer options were just a box with a letter inside. For several of the questions I thought of several different words (synonyms) that could be an answer and the options were there for the words. I expressed concern to HR saying that it was a little confusing because if you had a broader vocabulary or were an innovative/creative thinker then the answers would be wrong according to the test, but right according to the test-taker. (I'm a big fan of open-ended questions because everyone thinks differently).There was also a spelling test.
Of the two hours that I was in their office, 1.5 was spent waiting. I got there early and wasn't taken back until 15 minutes after the scheduled interview. After the skills test, the HR representative came in to ask me questions about my resume. Once she found out that I had started out in HR at one of my internships before moving departments a month later, she began grilling me about the hiring practices and did not ask me any questions about how my skills related to the position I was interviewing for. I kept trying to get back on track, but she would ask questions about their HR department again. It felt like she was trying to prove to me that she knew about HR, which is fine and all, but she completely ignored the fact that I was interviewing for another position. She didn't ask one question about my skills that related to the job or why I wanted it or even why I wanted to work for the company. Also, she said that they had been having a hard time finding an intern and that maybe students just weren't interning. By this point I was fed up with talking about HR and just nodded. However, I had not seen 1 posting for an internship with them in all of my months of jobhunting. It makes me really doubt their competence. Overall, though, she was very friendly. She said she would let me know just after the first of the year if I passed the test and would move on to the next interview or if I didn't. I followed-up several times and she never replied.Interview Questions- She kept asking about my HR experience, which was completely unrelated to the position, and she didn't ask me one question related to the position.

Application DetailsThe process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Blackstone Group - bgglobal.com in August 2011.
Interview DetailsThis process was hit and miss. First, let me preface this with the fact that the I was probably overqualified for the position I was interviewing for.
Anyway, the HR manager could not have been more polite. She contacted me via phone about interviewing and I was in for an in-person interview two days later. I met with three people that day and took a spelling/IQ style exam. The exam is easy, but only tangentially related to the job you might do for them.
After finishing that up, I met with an SVP. Talk about an unprofessional interview. After misreading my resume, he thought I had several long gaps in my employment history, which prompted him to ask if I have a history of health problems. He preceded the question with, "I know this isn't PC, but I am not a PC guy." No, not only is it not PC, it is ILLEGAL to ask that question. Also, if you look at my resume, there are no gaps except for when I was in school getting my M.S. He then proceeded to lecture me about how confusing my resume is. Funny, I have never heard that before, in fact, I have been complimented many times on my resume. He then drove home the point that this was an "entry-level position for entry-level pay." And even capped it off by tossing around a few f-bombs. He then told me how none of my experience was worth anything for this particular job, and when I tried to explain to him how it was, he told me I was wrong. Just wholly unprofessional, the kind of interview where you say, "I don't want to work for this company."
Next, I met with a junior staff member who was hired for the same position less than a year prior. This is when it became apparent what kind of talent they were seeking for this position. After having a thirty minute conversation with this staff member, who was nothing but pleasant, it became clear they were looking for someone with no knowledge of the industry, but a go-getters attitude.
Following this, the HR manager came back to discuss next steps and questions. She then called me a couple of days later to set up a second interview with another SVP and job-related skills test.
The skills test was two parts. First, you were given the responses to an open-ended survey question and asked to categorize them. Pretty simple. The next test however, is a complete waste of time. Ironically, it is a time management assessment. They give you a list of four or five tasks that you would typically need to complete for your job and when they are due. They then want you to prioritize them, predict when you would finish and who you would work with to do it. The last question is impossible to answer without being inside the company. Personally, I cam from an experience where I did every phase of research myself, turns out, they were looking for answers like, "call the coders to make sure they are doing their job." It is just not useful assessment tool.
After that, I met with the other SVP. Talk about 180 degrees from my previous experience. This guy was pleasant, personable, and intelligent. It was a good conversation and made me want to work for him. This interview was mostly position/company overview and any questions I had about the company/position.
Finally, the hiring manager came in again to answer questions and discuss next steps, which would have been reference checks and a Meyers-Briggs assessment test. However, I never got to that step. I believe that part of the reason I didn't get that far was because my salary expectations were much higher than they were willing to offer. They were offering between $30-35K, not even close for me.
After that interview, I was told I would hear back a week later, but I have still not heard from them and it has been more than a month.Interview Questions- They didn't ask a lot of questions. They spent most of the time telling me about the job. Answer Question

I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Blackstone Group - bgglobal.com in August 2011.
Interview DetailsPrior to my interview I read the reviews on this website so my expectations were pretty low. The interview process was exactly as described by prior reviews: IQ test, spelling test, and about 5 questions to answer about yourself and about the company. To sum-up the interview at the Blackstone: lame...

The process took a day – interviewed at Blackstone Group - bgglobal.com in March 2011.
Interview DetailsI was very disappointed with the interview process at Blackstone. To sum it up the whole experience was extremely unprofessional. From the very start, the person who called and left me a voicemail requesting an interview left their phone number incorrectly. I should have taken this as a sign and stopped right there. But I eventually coordinated a day and time with the HR manager that I could come in during my lunch break to interview. The specific day was chosen based on who would be available in their office. However when I went in for the interview the hiring manager wasn't even there! I met with an office admin or assistant (?) who wrote down everything I said verbatim, asked no original questions, and was unable to answer any about the position. I was told I would be contacted in a few weeks when they had made a decision. I called/emailed later on to follow-up. Neither was responded to. Judging from the previous review these people have no idea what they want or do not actually have a budget to hire. Interviewing candidates for the same position from October to March??? And guess what they have since reposted it again! Stay away from Blackstone..
Interview Questions- What do you know about Blackstone? Answer Question
No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Blackstone Group - bgglobal.com in October 2010.
Interview DetailsI was brought in to interview after they'd seen my resume through my grad school. Interview appeared to be going well. I came in for what was supposed to be a 2 hour, 2 person interview with a few skills assessments. Then they wanted me to stay and meet with another member of the staff, so I stayed. Then they wanted me to meet with the president, so I stayed. Then they wanted me to meet with yet another member of the staff. When all was said and done, I was at their office for five hours without breaks.
Everything appeared to have gone well. They asked for references and a writing sample. They called my references... and then disappeared. I never heard the normal "we're pursuing other candidates" generic email or anything. Requests for a status report were ignored. After that lengthy of an interview, I think that a courtesy communication was in order.Interview Questions- Questions were basic interview questions. No real hard questions. Answer Question

why is everyone so cynical and doing a thorough check if the roses are real or not? The main thing is 'he' gave her 12 roses and despite the last one being fake does not matter- it only meant that his love for her was undying.. Live a little guys, not every guy in the world is bastard

The real one IS 11 real and 1 fake ! There's no point in having 11 fake when they will all survive, the one last standing rose resembles the one true love, and when she looks upon it after years shell see his effort and love in this rose, while 11 ... that will be odd, it will mean that the real rose is more precious and since its mortal i dies.

Conner Mach earns Big 12 Player of the Week for his efforts ay Baylor. |
April 26, 2011
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou baseball junior Conner Mach (Chesterfield, Mo.) has been named Big 12 Player of the Week, as announced by the Big 12 Conference on Tuesday (April 26). The Tiger junior hit .545 in three games last week, helping Mizzou to its first Big 12 series win of the season at Baylor. He played in left field for the first time in his career as he is usually an infielder for the Tigers. Mach hit in the leadoff hole in all three games for the first time this season, despite hitting in the middle of the order nearly all year.
Mach responded to the lineup change by tallying six hits in 11 at-bats while leading the Tigers in nearly every offensive category. He led the team in RBI (five), total bases (10), slugging (.909), on-base percentage (.600) and posted six hits (two for extra bases) on the week. He also notched his first home run of the season in Friday's game at Baylor, launching a two-run shot over the left field wall for two of his RBI. The home run was his first of the season and first since May 21, 2010. He went 4-4 in that game and reached base in all five of his plate appearances as he was hit by a pitch in his final at-bat of the game.
In the series finale, Mach went 1-3 at the plate with a pair of RBI, one coming on a sacrifice fly and the other coming on an RBI single in the sixth inning. In game one of the series, he went 1-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Mach is the first Tiger to earn Big 12 Player of the Week honors since Aaron Senne took home the award on April 12, 2010. He is also the first Tiger to be honored in any of the Big 12 weekly awards since Nick Tepesch took home Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors on May 18, 2010.
Mach and Mizzou will be back in action this week for a pair of midweek games, starting Tuesday with Eastern Illinois in O'Fallon, Mo., at TR Hughes Ballpark. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MUTigerBaseball.
