I just picked this weekend, again yesterday and they seemed fine but I did notice yesterday a few that seemed to be a little limp, though not terribly big. Today picked a lot, again not huge/long but they seem a little bendy - not crisp. We got about 3" of rain this weekend, temps have been 60's at night, low 70's during the day. What could be causing this? I don't know if I even want to sell anything picked today - stuck them in fridge to see if they'd crisp up, I could try ice water. Going to have a cold front going through - 41-42 predicted fro early Friday AM (here that could mean high 30's -40). Going to cover the tomatoes and peppers with some Reemay that's hanging on the fence to keep deer from beans. Could that be the problem now that days are getting shorter? Reemay shading the east side of the beans? It's been there a couple of weeks. |

Soak those beans in ice water, or shell them. Has it been awhile since you had rain before the last rain? That could be the problem. Days getting shorter shouldn't be the problem. Nor the Remay. Of course, I'm not the expert on pole beans, but I've seen another vendor that swears by them, his would get that way if it's been dry. |
Well, we had 5" of rain on Aug 9 but not too much since then (I did water) until the 26th - and then the 31st, the 1st (2.5" that day!), and the 2nd. But July was much drier so I don't understand why now (when they're just getting going)? Bush Blue Lake are ending but they're still crisp. |

Sorry, don't have the answer. I haven't done pole beans since I can remember. |

El Paso's fun, local spin on "Dancing with the Stars."
WEB Sponsor:
It's our 7th annual fun, local spin on "Dancing with the Stars," where El Pasoans step up as Dancers & Judges to raise money and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring. Dance lessons are generously provided by Shundo Ballroom Dance Studio, New Horizons Dance Academy, Sunland Ballroom and Ballet, and Dancer's Studio of El Paso. The result is a fabulous night with live music & a spectacular dance competition. Here's a sampler of our fantastic 2013 event. http://youtu.be/k0fThFcuT-Q
All money stays in El Paso and helps make & support matches of mentors to the 100+ children on the Big Brothers Big Sisters waiting list. Mentors help these children stay in school, off drugs, and away from gangs…not to mention boost self esteem, and help deal with bullying and depression…so your support makes a BIG Impact!

Young people of the Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths have recently created a unique community at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland. Together they seek to break religious stereotypes, promote mutual respect and enhance their understanding of religions beyond the conflict paradigm.
Just Festival and its predecessor, the Festival of Spirituality and Peace, has been concerned over the years to strike up a genuine personal, artistic, spiritual and cultural conversation among the different religions and beliefs that make up our country.
Pilgrims to the Holy Land who are searching for the roots of Christianity can also gain a rich understanding of other religions, says a leading Franciscan.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is due to share worship with leaders of the Jewish and Muslim communities at a mosque.
A Jewish promoted day to promote good deeds among people of different religions marked the beginning of Interfaith Week across the UK this past weekend.
An inter-faith peace walk is due to take place on Saturday 11 June, in what is being called by the organisers the 'holy city' of Southall, west London.
For the first time in northern Nigeria, a Muslim state governor has accepted an invitation to a church revival programme during which he called for unity and peaceful co-existence between the country's Christians and Muslims.
The Pope has received a delegation of the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultation with which the Holy See says "for over thirty years has contributed to understanding and acceptance between Catholics and Jews".
In 2006, the young people of Methodism challenged the Church to dedicate a month to prayer for improved relationships between people of different faiths. They pointed to the 'hostile and untrue' things that are said about some faiths, particularly Islam. Inter faith action, they decided, was hugely important as a way of challenging this. And the first step could be prayer.
The General Secretary of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), the Rev Dr Ishmael Noko, will lead an interfaith delegation to North and South Sudan from 9 to 13 January 2007 'Ä' reports LWI.

Note: All three biology courses must be completed for them to transfer to OSU as BI 211, 212, 213
*Organic Chemistry - CH 241, 242, 243 (only as a complete sequence and with C or better in all courses) may be used to fulfill the organic chemistry requirement at OSU. The CC organic chemistry courses are transferred as lower division (LD) credit because the courses are officially 200-level at the community college. If a student takes a complete year of organic chemistry with laboratory each term at an Oregon Community College (CH 241, 242, 243) and transfers to OSU, the student normally receives lower credit. The course work may appear on the transcript as various combinations of CH 331, CH 332, CH 337, and unspecified LDT credit (lower division transfer). In accordance with an OUS (formally OSSHE) memo (August 1, 1995), a student can receive upper division credit (300 level) if they pass the ACS organic exam. See http://www.chemistry.oregonstate.edu/undergrad/advising/organicchemistrytransfer.htm for further details.

Biochemistry/Biophysics- Biochemists and biophysicists use the methods of physical science to study life processes at a fundamental level. Biochemists and biophysicists carry out both basic and applied research. Research biochemists ask questions like the following: How is information transmitted to direct cellular functions? What controls the expression of genes, to account for cellular differentiation? How do cells convert chemical energy, in the form of nutrients, to mechanical energy (as in muscle contraction), or electrical energy (as in nerve conduction)? How do organisms protect themselves, against environmental toxins and pollutants, or against infectious agents? How do hormones act, to control cell growth and differentiation? What are the molecular events in the processes of aging and cancer formation?
Biology- Issues and advances in areas such as biotechnology, environmental science, medicine and other fields continually emphasize the importance of biology and biologists in the future of our country and the world. The Biology Program prepares students for diverse fields through broad, interdisciplinary training in the life sciences. Faculty teaching, research and mentoring expertise are drawn from the OSU Departments of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Botany and Plant Pathology, Microbiology, and Zoology.
Environmental Sciences- Today, scientists must be trained to assess problems and provide potential solutions from scientific perspectives when faced with environmental issues, to predict environmental change, and to participate in responsible management of the environment. To help reach these objectives, OSU's Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences offers an interdisciplinary approach to environmental problem solving. As an Environmental Sciences major, you will: Study an interdisciplinary curriculum in basic science, the humanities and social sciences; acquire a depth of knowledge in an area of specialization related to environmental sciences, typically by completing an approved relevant Option, Minor, or Certificate; learn about complex environmental issues, such as global warming, conservation, sustainability, and pollution; obtain excellent training for a variety of career choices, including work with federal agencies, industry and education.
Microbiology- The Microbiology Department at Oregon State University is over 100 years old. The field of Microbiology is relevant to every day life. Majoring in microbiology can position you for a fulfilling career and prepare you for graduate or professional studies such as medical, dental or pharmacy school. The Microbiology Department conducts research and teaches courses in bacteriology, virology and parasitology, covering a broad spectrum from the molecular to the applied,from the laboratory to the field. A B.S. in Microbiology fulfills all requirements for pre-medicine. Graduates are well poised for application to professional programs (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary, clinical lab science) and graduate school. There are career opportunities in many areas upon graduation, ranging from biotechnology to food microbiology. Applicable career specialties include work with infectious agents, environmental microbiology, biotechnology, molecular forensics. Some 95% of microbiology undergraduate and graduate students are employed in their field or enrolled in further studies within 3 months of graduation. Students have an automatic minor in chemistry.
Zoology- Just so you can browse our site with expert knowledge, better count the "o's". We are "zo"- ologists (as in "go zo") not "zoo"- ologists ("who?"). For you etymologists "zoo" actually is a mispronounced abbreviation for "zoological park" (zo -, Greek for alive; zoion an animal). "Zoology" is the study of animals, at all levels, from cells through populations. It is a subdivision of "Biology", which encompasses all life (animals, plants, fungi, microbes). On this campus we slice biology "vertically" into departments representing groups of organisms (zoology, botany, etc.), but we also have a number of "horizontally" interactive groups and degree programs that unite the departments conceptually.Additional Requirements
For PCC courses that transfer to OSU, refer to Transfer Equivalencies above. If you plan to get an AAOT degree, all OSU Baccalaureate Core Requirements will be met by AAOT degree requirements. Be sure to take all other required courses.
PCC endeavors to create accurate transfer guides for students; however, requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with PCC advisors and their transfer institution to ensure that their academic plan will meet requirements and timelines.

rAndom International's Sparkling Rain Room Lets You Play in the Rain Without Getting Wet
Posted By Helen Morgan On October 13, 2012 @ 12:12 pm In Art,carousel showcase,gallery,green Interiors,Green Lighting,Green Lighting | 2 Comments
After walking blindly into the darkened gallery space, visitors appear to somehow control the falling water; you can feel encapsulated by the rain, yet without getting wet as though they are mysteriously protected from it. Set against the bright light emitted at the far end of the gallery, the 'rain' sparkles magically to form a space for contemplation. The interactive piece [6] also creates a surreal feeling that although the outside has been brought inside, you remain sheltered from it.
Open until March 3 2013, Rain Room: Random International will be on display at The Curve, Barbican Centre, London.

BEST snowboarding pants for women
I got these on sale and I'm a beginner, but these smarty cargo pants are the best. There's something weird about the liner, I can't explain it, but know how snowboard boots are obsessive about their liners? it's like, these pants are obsessive about it too. they attach at the top, which is really really really helpful.
they are really nice for any bus rides in like the snowbomb bus to Tahoe, you can just zip out of them after riding. Other nice touches are the little cute wrench that comes in the ankle pocket. and i appreciated that they didn't insult my intelligence by scarfing on the cool details like that for the XS size, which I bought last winter. usually when you're a chick, you are scrambling for sloppy seconds. you expect less than the best.
I dunno if this version has it, but it was soooooooooo cool to have the boa feature in the pants. now i have double boas though but still. i'm weird. these are product design masterpieces.

And thanks for sharing this story.
That's how I'm looking at it. I'm also known to do all the over night shifts on deliveries and also when I single hand my own boat. I did want him rested for the next day so I could rest. I could see him tossing and turning for at least the first few hours of my watch, so I knew he wasn't sleeping, And then when I could hear a little snoring, I didn't want to interupt the R.E.M state he was in, plus, with a pot of strong coffee in me, I would of laid awake for hours in my hot bunk any way's. He's actually a great sailor and friend. I almost took his head off with a flat nose shovel in a South American Ship Yard over 20 years ago, so we have survived some brawls and come out closer on the other end.
As for Capta and his dream crew, I had that once back in the early 90's in the form of a 22 year old 5 10 natural Blonde surfer girl. She was the best helmsman I've seen to date. I would drag her behind the boat 300 miles off shore so she could poop and bath. Tough as nails, super salty. She was great with a tiller, couldn't get the feel of a wheel though. She was invited on Bob Bitch'ns boat one time and was humiliated by her inability to the find the sweet spot. But she could steer a tiller with her foot down 8 foot seas for hours while eating and apple and reading a book.

Would it have killed them to throw in some scene showing that Lelouch is at least sporadically involved in his school's theater program? I can buy him having a super power that allows him to command anybody to do anything he wants (if only once, and provided that he make eye contact with them…) but pulling off a live performance in the street like that immediately makes me wonder if he brought the dude behind the Beijing Olympics' opening ceremonies in as a consultant. I don't know: you shouldn't judge a book by its cover (or a terrorist by his mask) but Lelouch hasn't struck me as a young man with a particularly theatrical bent in his soul.
I could bring up more comparisons to DEATH NOTE here (blackmailing somebody, by cell phone, on a mass transit train… where have I seen that before?) but I'm seeing stronger similarities to the most theatrical of terrorists in this one. That is, V… of whose vendetta many have heard. It's an interesting touch that Britannians aren't simply an evil occupying empire; they've also got a strongly Orwellian bureaucracy who like to manipulate their state run media in a way that's more-than-likely going to hinder their own operations. Let's just hope "Zero" doesn't pontificate for as long as V was wont to.
Suzaku proves himself to be a valiant and honorable today. He remains loyal to his country, even when after they've betrayed in such an obvious fashion. While I do prefer the avoidance of padding and redundancies in a serial, I do wish they would've held off on this particular reversal of relationships a little longer. There was still some mileage to be had in putting Lelouch and this guy at odds - - as hated enemies - before having them reach out to eachother as potential friends. One battle gets the point across, sure, but it doesn't feel like a satisfying number.
Then again, Suzaku does reject the whole "join me" offer, so there may be plenty of more conflict between them.

Daenarys Spagett is not a particularly talented writer. He misspells the simplest words, screws up capitalization and commits countless crimes against good grammar. You cover his paper in red ink, and Spagett is stuck with an "F minus." It's bad news for him, but you're a winner.

Union's response to Amy Lawler's termination
During Attorney General Swanson's first year in office, 50 of 126 assistant attorneys general were terminated or left under duress. Today Assistant Attorney General Amy Lawler was fired. She and her co-workers have asked the Attorney General to recognize their union and to meet and confer with AFSCME about working conditions.
"In her termination letter, Attorney General Swanson gave no reason for firing Amy Lawler. Bad bosses routinely fire ethical workers for union organizing and whistle blowing. That's why we have laws to protect workers from bosses like Lori Swanson and Alberto Gonzales. If these top attorneys trample the Constitution, then who will protect our rights?"
Council 5 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees provides one strong united voice for 43,000 public and non-profit workers throughout Minnesota, including hundreds of city and county attorneys.
An explanation for recent agonies in Attorney General Swanson's office: Mike Hatch's traumatic reign
By Eric Black
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
The recent agonies of the Minnesota attorney general's office under Lori Swanson are the latest symptoms of trauma that goes back nine years and starts with two words: Mike Hatch. According to dozens of present and former officials of the office and others, Hatch traumatized the AG's office with his bare-knuckled style that tested the boundaries of acceptable conduct. Attorneys and others describe working for Hatch and Swanson as hellish, featuring verbal abuse and pressure to do things they believed were unethical, and to put Hatch's political needs foremost.

Romancing CottonSomeone told me that the balled-up almost was growing inside her likea sapling, that soon the girl would be all swell and wet. What she saidwas, "don't leave". Her ego was a white sheet caught on a branch, thetype of fabric my mother treated with contempt. Frippery, beautifulbut impractical: keeping it alive was like trying to catch a bubble withdry hands.The wind carried the sickly smell of opium and morning sickness,signals of a spring in which fingers like white spiders cradledthe beginning of bloom. Hope seemed at once skin-near and star-far.What I offered her was not a marriage proposal, it was a murderof crows slipping across the sheet of day. Union makes for ardourand sweat.

LevitationObserve.This is how women walk away.In broken heelsand secondhand jackets,cigarette smoke in their hairand no kiss goodbye.Do not mock.It is what it should be.A girl in a car,hanging a u-turnon a glistening, empty street.Her body is a road to be traveled.A shipwreck to be plundered.She does not know how she got here,and she does not care.And it does not matter.This is how women smile.Knowing, secretive,though her cheeks are sore.Though the windis blowing right through her clothes.Though there is no good musicon the radio, and no foodin the refrigerator.This is just an impression.An idea of nirvana.A slice of real, live ecstasy.But do not give it a name.Just show it, wear it likedesigner jeans.Tight against the skin.She is ivory, she is easy,and it is not love.It is something better,fermenting at thebacks of her knees.Flooring her.Bleeding from her fingerprints.It is a devastation,seven ways from Sunday,but that is how she likes it.It cannot hurt
Expedition Letters to GraceDear Grace,You told me, back when we were visiting Peru and I was feeling down, that I would eventually find my calling in life. I write to you now to tell you, quite happily, that I have.I can't explain much about it at the moment, only that my sudden absence from the university is for a reason. As I write, I am currently en route to New York City, to visit their museums and get a taste of the culture. I told you before how I wanted to visit New York while I had the chance, and now I travel with purpose.I will say now, that while what I am about to do may seem strange to you, even mad, I can promise you that I am of sound mind and am determined to see my ambition through. Never before have I felt so strongly about the rightness of my decision. I will explain more in time. All I can tell you now is that I am launching my own expedition, and that it will be unorthodox, to say the least. I write you because you are my oldest and dearest friend, and I feel I can trust you.Give my best

Better Off DeadBetter Off DeadIt was a normal Tuesday that I woke up dead. I could just tell when I opened my eyes that it was a different day. The doctors always gave people the warning signs for when they would die, so that there would be no mistake. A lack of warmth in your body, skin became pale, senses weakened and a distinct lack of breathing. Rubbing the sand out of my eyes felt surreal. Every joint popped and cracked on their journey, which was rare to me. Naturally, I just figured it was a rough night's sleep and nothing more, but as I pushed the covers off of myself, I saw how white my body turned overnight. Again, death wasn't the first thought to pop into my head, just that I needed to get out more, maybe take a day off work and go to the park. As I slowly creeped over to my bathroom, my body was still fighting me, making my apartment sound like a thunder storm. By the time I got the por
Happy HollowLook:I found him in Happy Hollow, the woods that's on the outskirts of the city. He was a little ways off the path me and my sister, Nahla, take to school, 'cept Nahla was sick that day so it was just me by myself. It's not the fastest way to get to school, but we can't go through Northampton or else the bullies that live there will throw dirt clods at us. After I found him I took him to this old shed out there. It's got a hole in the roof but I figured the little guy'd be safe there on account of it's a good ways away from the Northampton houses; plus you can't hardly see it through all the leaves and branches and stuff. His fur was real white and real soft, just like snow 'cept it wasn't cold. It was warm and fuzzy so it made you wanna squeeze him real tight. I liked playing with his ears cuz they was all floppy, 'cept when you made a weird noise, then they'd stick straight up and he'd tilt his head sideways and look at you funny. He had a long bushy tail and sharp little baby teeth
How They Flutter ByElusive quarry indeed.Bright-faced youths may scamperEndlesslyThrough sunlit meadows full of flutteringAnd yet, at end of day, return tiredNets emptyBut eager to try again, as children are.What of those too old, or too slow?They'll run too, or perhaps just watch.The glittering prize, promisedAnd so often savoured in anticipationProves always out of reach.Easy, after a while, to stop and rest.Easy, later,To forget those dappled hues and their dancing flight.Retire, and pretend they never were.Seek solace in other, greyer things.Or remain forever haunted.Gazing, maybe, at those more fortunate.And in envyOr in memory of sunny days long pastTheir collections might sparkle yet.Cold stillness belies their fate, in truth.Dreams, pinned under glass.
Man:An arachnid needling into nothing;Thrown rope nestled in NASA's outer space;A Hindu clarinet player's helperAscending an airy, azure ether.A phalange of "my gawd" (an ice/ash pillar)After an airborne space craft's absconding,A moon-landing. Impossible motion,Mired in unimaginative mindsMeditating on Om, missing the flight.

TeatimeIn January, Elsa got new neighbors. She greeted them with apple cinnamon tea.It gets so cold, here, they told her, shivering in overstuffed parkas. Snow had turned to mud in their front hallan unavoidable side-effect of moving in winter. Elsa nodded along to their complaints and observations, silently brewing the tea in their kitchen. They were young; they had big plans. Allison and Steve, newlyweds, just starting out. They sat on the cold floor together, sipping with chapped lips. The house filled with cinnamon.In April, Allison knocked on Elsa's door. We're pregnant! White tea in a china teacup; the taste of flower petals and champagne. The last caffeine for the next eight months. Elsa let her keep the cup.In May, Steve bought a carseat and a crib. Elsa helped him carry it inside. Flat-packed, but heavy. Sturd

HOWL POETRY CHALLENGEPOETRY CHALLENGEMy literature prof posed this challenge to us while we were studying Allen Ginsberg's poem Howl. Even for someone like myself who isn't a poetry enthusiast this was an incredible poem to study and an awesome challenge.The challenge is this:Rewrite the first few or as many as you'd like stanzas of Howl so that it reflects (as cheesy as it sounds) something that is meaningful to you.The link will be posted below.This is my VERY amateur attempt at this:I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by depressiontwisted, aching paralysis,drifting through joyless hours by dayunable to rise from beds,suicidal zombies burning for an eternal deep sleep farfrom melancholy's tight grip aroundthroats of operas,who shoot up and bawled and slit and degeneratedalone among cold tiles in the florescent flicker ofbare-bulbs blinding rotten eyes that squint tocontemplate bottles of sedatives,who screamed their hearts to passing lovers constraint to glass r

Exhume and InhaleI have tasted God, he tasted of sweet wineand sandalwood, the deep forest you lay downin the moss and twigs, scattered like finger-bones,your spine ripped out, curved like a bow.I couldn't find your heart, tremblingagainst the opened cage of your ribs,under the gently speaking rustle,leaves unfurling, the dance of sunlightslinking between your vertebrae:piccolo skims and birchskin shaves.I fled. Your right shoulder blade beckoned still,unfolding like the slow feathers of a wing,your wrist flung out, palmup, gasped my name,but I could not stay, onlystrained your skin with oleander tea,drifted, drifted with the tumbleweed,the blind breath of the wind:and I had tasted God, birdsong on my tongue,soaring, sweeping, sweet and free.

I have lots of green Hairy balls. Do they have to turn brown before harvesting the seed? Mine have been green for a long time. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Linda, Are your green hairy balls on Gomphocarpus physocarpus? I have a few myself. :-) randy |
- Posted by linda_centralokzn6 Zn7_Okla (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 07 at 10:35
Yes, Randy, they are. The butteflies really love to nectar on the blooms. And the Monarchs did find it to lay their eggs on, but I tended to move them to other plants, so that I could save the seeds. I have several balls, so I will have hundreds of seeds if they don't wait too long to rippen as the weather has gotten cooler recently. Did you start yours fom seed, or get your plants from Marilyn? I wondered if the seed was started in March, would they have enough time for the seed balls to rippen? I got my plant from Marilyn in April. So, the seed would probably need to be sown in Jan. or Feb. I'm glad that mine is in a pot. I may need to bring it into the garage if the balls haven't dried in time. Did Amber have a great summer raising Monarch and other caterpillars? Do you have any milkweed up in your pasture with some tender new growth? Chip Taylor from Monarch Watch is really wanting to do some isotope studies on milkweed in Okla. It has to be out in the wild that has never been watered with city water or ground water source. Only rain. I found some from out in the country. If you find some, and are interested, I will e-mail you his instructions. He is very explicit on how he wants the leaves frozen. |
Linda, Got the plants from Marilyn when I met you at the market. I'll move mine into the greenhouse soon. Amber had a blast raising monarchs. Even took some to the gym to show her teammates. Being home schooled does cut down a little on the large group interaction one gets in a school surrounding. The pasture is so overgrown I haven't seen milkweed in a while. I'll take a walk and check to see what's out there. Most of the large patch next to the road died back after the warm dry weather finally showed up. I'll let you know. randy |

Glad that Amber got to experience raising Monarchs. I had trouble finding mw up, much less with any tender, young leaves, also. So, it was a thrill to find some. I am going to talk to him about doing another study earlier next year, so that we can have a more wide spread sample. |

I was wondering if mine were going to ripen as well. I had wintersown my seed and planted in May. Gorgeous 6'+ plants, just recently developed pods. Two are the size of golf balls, and a few smaller, all green. Hopefully it'll stay warm enough for me to harvest just a few seed ;) |
- Posted by catlunatic z8a TX (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 07 at 15:06
On my Swan Milkweed I notice that the pods will begin to yellow then I check every morning and afternoon watching for that first little split in the "seam". Once I see that I harvest them . It's much easier to collect the seeds that way. There have been times when the pods have opened while I am at work and by the time I get home most of them are already out of the pod and gone. |
- Posted by linda_centralokzn6 Zn7_Okla (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 07 at 16:35
Catlunatic, thanks for the info! :) Are yours starting to turn yellow? How early did you plant your seed? Or does yours reseed in Zone 8? |
- Posted by catlunatic z8a TX (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 07 at 22:01
Actually Linda my plants are 2 years old. I started them from seed last spring and they went thru the winter with barely even getting frost bitten. They bloomed and I have already collected most of the seed. These plants were enormous this year, well over 6 foot with a 4 foot spread. I had many monarchs and queens thru the summer. I hope they make this winter also. |
- Posted by linda_centralokzn6 Zn7_Okla (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 07 at 23:10
That's good to know. Perhaps, mine may overwinter in the garage. Sometimes, I've overwintered trop. mw this way. Thanks! :) Mine are starting to turn tanny yellow. |
Mine took along time getting ripe last fall. If you want to ensure you get the seed, tie a baggie on the stem and any seeds that pop will stay in the baggie. Penny |
Linda, Did you get to harvest seed from your plants? Mine haven't ripened yet. Seems like they have been a light yellow for ages. One pod is starting to slowly turn a light pale brown on the side facing the plastic wall of the greenhouse. Since I moved them to the greenhouse they have started to set more blooms. I would love to get seed off them. randy |

Pssst...I want some hairy balls. If ya'll have a few to trade please email me. We get gobs of Queens and Soldiers so they can surely make use of this milkweed variety. ~ Cat |
- Posted by linda_centralokzn6 Zn7_Okla (My Page) on Sat, Dec 8, 07 at 2:07
Randy, I've not had very good luck getting mine to ripen. The 1st ball that I cut off was turning brown. I let it dry for a couple of weeks, opened it up, and the seeds were ripe. I had picked a couple more of them at the same time, only they weren't as brown. And, when I opened them up, the seeds were still green. I have the pot in the garage. Since then, 1 other pod has opened up on its own. I still have several large pods on the plant, but don't have alot of light in the garage. So, I'm still waiting for them to ripen. Sure wish that I had a greenhouse! And, now with all of this talk about a possible "Ice Storm", and power outages, I'm sure that they will be goners with having to open and close the garage door for cords for the generator. I sure hope that they are waaay wrong. I still have nightmares from the last bad one!!!! Cat, I would love to help, but I don't have enough seeds to share. I'm sure that Randy will have better luck. Your Queens will like the Hairy balls. I found several eggs and cats on mine. Several butterflies enjoyed the blooms, also. Here's another link concerning the balls ripening, but I can't say that it helped me much, aside from making sure that the balls are more brown. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Harvesting Hairy balls
Thanks Linda. The brown color was starting to worry me, but it sounds like that's normal. I don't like talk of ice. Have new plastic on my greenhouse and lots of wood for the wood stove, so no electricity won't be an issue for me as far as losing plants anymore. Cat, I'll be glad to share with you if they ever open up. randy |

Many users find automatic page-shunting to be very annoying. They prefer to surf the web at their own speed, under their own control, and resent sites that take this control away from them by moving them on to a new page at a speed chosen by the page author rather than when the user follows a link. Maybe the user wants more time to read the text or view the graphics on the first page before going on to the next one, or maybe he or she is bored with the page and wants to move on right away, not wait 30 seconds for the refresh to move on.
If you've scrolled down in a long page, while reading it or while you've left the page in your browser while you went and did something else, it's annoying to find you've been placed back at the beginning of the page because it reloaded on you.

@lluviaporos: You're only partially right. Not all gems can be heat treated. Depending on whether the air in the kiln is reducing or oxidizing, you can change the color, lighten or darken a stone depending on what kind. The heat allows for rearrangement of the crystal lattice and "heals" fractures, resulting in increased clarity.
Heat treatment is undetectable in some stones. In others, a microscope is one of several things needed. Looking at refraction patterns and reflected light using various light filters are usually better diagnostic tools.

One of my HG's that I always come back to. I have all kinds of foundation and finishing powders and I rotate through them a lot... but this is one that I come back to time and time again... because it just looks the best of any I have. It keeps me finished and fairly matte for a while... but no powder keeps my oily tzone matte all day... but this never looks heavy or cakey. I will always have this in my makeup stash.

BEST POWDER EVER. If you have extra-oily skin like me, this powder is a must. I have it in invisible blend, and it's all you need on top of whichever foundation you are using. It makes my pores completely disappear (and they are huge by the way) and keeps my make up shine free for much longer than any other powder - pressed or loose. When I feel brave enough, I wear it alone over a bit of pore minimizer (usually clinique's) and it gives an amazing glow. To avoid the mess created by the powder every time I open the cap, I use a powder puff on the sieve and a bit of tissue on top of the puff, to make sure the powder cannot escape when I close the cap. Trust me, it works! When I need heavier coverage, I use it with a powder puff, but most of the time I am using it with the little brush - I am petite, and the size of the brush feels fine to me ;-) Overall, this is one of the few products that I keep buying - I have done that 3 times so far, and it lasts for absolute ages too. Great product for oily skin, cannot live without it.

So pleased I found this. I have oily, tan skin and ride my bike everyday so shine control is a big issue for me. I wanted something transparent so I don't have to worry about matching my skintone during winter or summer.
At $25 (Canada) for 34 grams I don't know why people are saying this is $$$! You get so much for your dollar!
I've been using this stuff lately just over a tinted moisturizer and it helps reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines and bumps! It's melts into your skin! It keeps shine at bay for a good while but after a while it returns. Can't blame it, I bike and walk every where in this heat!
Goodbye foundation hello Clinique loose powder!

This loose powder is sadly underrated! When buffed on with a loose fluffy brush, this gives the most flawless finish to my skin and works well with a variety of liquid foundations and BB creams in my stash. Oil control is commendable but after a few hours I do look a little dewy (not shiny). This also blends in well with my liquid products so it does not make me look caked-up or powdery. I am NC20 and I use 08 Transparency Neutral.

I stumbled across a sample of this in my mums makeup drawer. I asked her if she was using it and she said no, I could have it. Great. This powder is fabulous and so much longer lasting than my usual MSFN which on reflection slides off my face. (That said, I do like it with my Studio Fix Fluid so it's not been given the chuck yet!) The Clinique Blended Powder keeps me matte all day. I use this both over foundation and on it's own. It's beautiful. It *might* have caused me a wee breakout but I'm not 100% if it's due to the Powder. Given how well tested Clinique products are, I'm hoping not. Time will tell. It's £20 which is a little pricey but for the size of product you get, it's a fabulous investment. It's a little messy but all powders, for me, are. You just have to be careful. Overall, I like it a lot.
EDIT** Oh. This broke me out, and after a few hours slid off my face much like my MSF Natural. Hmm. A shame.

I've been using this product daily for OVER 2 YEARS now! There's still half of the powder left, I'm thinking this will last me another two years!
I used to use drug store translucent powders, but those really don't last nearly as long as cliniques loose powder! It really sets everything in place, and at the end of the day I get a dewy glow!

I bought this product together with Clinique tinted moisturiser, so that I could cover up my shiny areas when I need more perfection rather than a natural look.
I don't have a oily skin (in fact I have a dry skin) that needs lots of blotting / refreshing. My nose however tends to get a little bit shiny and that's when the powder comes in. It only keeps shine at bay for two or three hours though...
It has a nice colour (03 transparency) that blends very well in to your natural complexion. You have to be careful not to apply too much because it tends to be greyish in the sunshine when it builds up.
I know the packaging is mostly the same for all loose powders out in the market, but I'd prefer a little more compactness. Powders are supposed to be for touch-ups after all, what's the point of a powder you cant throw in your bag when leaving home?
It's a decent product with no flaws but does no special job either. I'd like to discover some other product once this is finished.

I have fair olive skin and it's usually IMPOSSIBLE for me to find anything that doesn't look orange, pink or muddy on my skin by lunch time. I have purchased and returned so many products because of this.This stuff (20 translucent) looks different - almost gray in the jar. At noon I looked in the mirror there were no jaw line color differences, no puddles, nothing!
I don't know how it would work with foundation because I just used concleaer under my eyes and on some scars and wore this over it. I just look like I have awesome matte, but not not overly dry, skin. My new HG.
Highly recommended, especially for those that have trouble finding a match for olive or yellow skin.

I heard great reviews about the powder on here only to be disappointed.
I'm incredibly fair with auburn hair and blue eyes. My skin is generally clear and spot free, but I've got combination skin and an uneven skin tone. I generally use transluscent powders and after my previous No7 Loose Powder had run out I thought it was high time I had a change.
How I regret spending that £20.
I got it in 20 Invisable Blend - the lady assured me that it was transluscent and wouldn't add any colour to my pale, cool toned face.
I tried some, and it felt wonderful, so silky and light. Bought it immediately.
However, in the literal light of day the powder is a horrid beige-orange and just clags up my skin. I'm now stuck with £20 worth of powder I can't use as it's too dark for my skin.
It's NOT invisable, and does not blend. Very disappointed.

I bought this when I went to Sephora looking for a new loose powder. The lady that helped me reccomended Transparency 3. This turned out to be a GREAT match for my skin color. The powder itself goes on smoothly and doesn't look chalky - just very natural. However, the brush that it comes with is terrible - hence the one lippie off, because I wish the brush was better! but that's okay, I just apply it with my powder puff instead. :)

It's hard to remember now how alone he stood back then.
Back in the days before a group of conservative Yale students founded the Federalist Society; before we could count at least four judicially conservative Supreme Court justices; when judicial conservatives seemed always to "grow" once in office to the pleasure of the New York Times — Robert Bork stood out as an inspiring symbol of intellectual integrity, and fruitfulness.
While an undergraduate at Yale, I took his course in antitrust law at the Yale Law school and became friends with one of his sons, which meant I was in his living room the night Reagan got elected and conservatism went from a forlorn hope to a governing philosophy.
For Robert Bork, Reagan's election meant moving his ideas out of the academy and onto the bench.
When Reagan finally got around to nominating him to the Supreme Court, a shocked legal elite and Democratic political class recognized that here was one man who would not "grow" in office. They set out to assassinate his character. A man who was a federal judge, a Yale law professor, and a former solicitor general was judged "not qualified" by four members of the American Bar Association. Senator Kennedy, may he rest in peace, proceeded to "bork" Judge Bork: "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, school children could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of government."
Six Republicans, to their shame, joined the Democrats in refusing to confirm Judge Bork, and we got Justice Anthony Kennedy instead.
Robert Bork's America is a place where impatient elites would not misuse the power of the court to remake American values. We miss him, already.
— Maggie Gallagher is a co-author of Debating Same-Sex Marriage.
Before his name became a verb — meaning "to meanspiritedly smear and misleadingly attack a judicial nominee" — and before he became a symbol and "icon," Robert H. Bork was a first-rate jurist and an important legal scholar. His The Antitrust Paradox powerfully influenced both the thinking in the academy and the practice on the ground. His insistence in, for example, The Tempting of America, that the Constitution of the United States should be interpreted, applied, and enforced in a way that is faithful to the understandings and goals of those who ratified it transformed and still shapes our public conversations about our basic law. And, more than 40 years ago, in the widely cited article "Neutral Principles and Some First Amendment Principles," he challenged the rapidly expanding reach of judicial review generally, and of the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause specifically. As he reminded us, the constitutionalization of an issue or question — for example, the judge-driven enlargement of what counts as "speech" — necessarily involves its removal, or at least its insulation, from democracy and political accountability. To be legitimate, though, the Court — in his words — "must be controlled by principles exterior to the will of the Justices," and must seek to find, rather than to create, the Constitution's meaning. About this, he was right, then and now.
— Richard W. Garnett is professor of law and associate dean at Notre Dame Law School.
Robert Bork, practicing lawyer, Yale law professor, acting attorney general, solicitor general, court of appeals judge, and failed Supreme Court nominee, was one of the most significant legal figures of his era. The Senate's rejection of his nomination to the Supreme Court by President Reagan was a national tragedy. He was what came to be called "borked," victimized by a campaign of scurrilous lies led by Senator Ted Kennedy. All nominees affirm their devotion to judicial restraint, but Bork, his opponents knew, believed it and would have led the Court away from rewriting the Constitution on the basis of their personal, usually liberal, policy choices.
Bork's scholarship fundamentally affected two of the most important areas of law, antitrust and constitutional law. His 1978 book, the Antitrust Paradox, became the bible of the "Chicago school" of economics approach to antitrust, greatly reducing its scope by arguing that it should be limited to protecting competition in the interest of free markets and consumer welfare, not used, as it had been, to prevent competition in the interest of inefficient small businesses.
Bork regretted that his writings on constitutional law did not have the revolutionary impact of his writings on antitrust. They did not persuade the Court to overrule, for example, Roe v. Wade or Miranda, but his insistence on "originalism," the view that the Constitution should be taken to mean what it was intended to mean, not what a majority of the justices would have it mean, changed constitutional argument. Its obvious correctness has not kept it from being controversial and the cause of endless alternative theories of "constitutional interpretation" meant to refute it.
A kind and decent man of great integrity and a Marine veteran, he served his country exceptionally well and was unfairly prevented from serving it even more.

This past April, the M2M service platform of Telenor Connexion (Fornebu, Norway) was acquired by network equipment provider Ericsson (Stockholm, Sweden), a long-time supplier to the telecom industry. In an exclusive interview, Telecom Connexion clarified the nature of the deal and its plans for moving forward in the M2M sector.
Major network operators in the telecom industry have reported quarterly earnings during the months of April and May. Telecom earnings varied in the first quarter of 2011, but the majority had a slight increase in revenue compared to the same quarter in 2010. Of the carriers mentioned in this summary, Verizon Communications saw an increase in its earnings in a large part due to its adoption of the iPhone.
Deutsche Telekom and iPass Inc. last week announced their partnership to create WiFi Mobilize, a new network services exchange for in-country and international roaming services. The exchange is designed to help carriers meet the accelerating demand from their customers for data services on smartphone and tablet devices, and to optimize their network investments. The partnership will provide a solution for new data offload, international roaming, and inter-standard traffic management services for GSM, CDMA and WiFi operators.
Oracle today announced the general availability of Oracle Communications IP Service Activator Release 7.0, a key component in Oracle's Converged Fulfillment for Business Services solution. Deployed by many of the world's leading communications service providers (CSPs), Oracle's Converged Fulfillment for Business Services solution enables CSPs to create, launch and fulfill highly-differentiated, converged business services including connectivity, data, voice, video and Cloud services.
Actelis Networks, a global supplier of Ethernet over copper solutions that is accelerating everything for service providers, today announced at TIA 2011: Inside the Network that Broadband Accelerators (BBAs) already are helping US service providers deliver high-speed Internet services to residential subscribers who've traditionally had little to no access to high-speed Internet services. BBAs allow incumbent carriers to deliver broadband services with greater coverage area to residential subscribers who typically have been underserved or unserved.
AT&T Inc plans to launch a wireless security srvice for consumers next year to help combat a big rise in cyber attacks on mobile devices, a top executive said.
As more people use smartphones like Apple Inc's iPhone and Google Inc's Android-based devices to download Web applications, John Stankey, the head of AT&T's enterprise business, said he had seen a big spike in security attacks on cellphones.
"Hackers always go to where there's a base of people to attack," Stankey said in an interview ahead of the Reuters Technology Media and Telecommunications Summit.
Movik Networks announced last week that it has been named to the annual Lead411 "Hottest Companies in Boston" list, designating it as one of the fastest growing technology companies of the year in Boston and surrounding areas. Lead411 researchers evaluated over 2100 companies, and found Movik to be amongst the "hottest," proven by their growth and financial stability in the marketplace.
Allot Communications Ltd., a leading supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband service providers worldwide, announced Tuesday at LTE World Summit in Amsterdam, Netherlands, that its intelligent charging solution, Allot ChargeSmart, has been selected by a multinational mobile operator. The converged charging solution, which is built on Allot Service Gateway, will be deployed in nine countries, serving approximately 30 million subscribers.
Law firms Seeger Weiss LLP and Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC announced Monday that the U.S. District Court of New Jersey has granted final approval to a proposed settlement of a consumer class action against telecom provider Vonage Holdings Corp. challenging the company's sales and marketing practices. The final settlement of In re Vonage Marketing and Sales Practice Litigation follows a fairness hearing on May 12, 2011. The settlement will likely provide dollar-for-dollar recovery to most settlement class members.
AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile USA Inc. for $39 billion still needs to clear regulatory hurdles, which leaves unanswered questions for the future. These questions deepened Monday when it was announced that RACO Wireless would remain the preferred M2M service provider for T-Mobile USA, and that John Horn, the national director of M2M for T-Mobile USA, would be leaving to serve as president at RACO Wireless, and bringing along most of his M2M staff.

Q&A - What factors should a business consider when setting its prices?
There are several factors a business needs to consider in setting the price:
• Competitors – a huge impact on pricing decisions. The relative market shares (or market strength) of competitors influences whether a business can set prices independently, or whether it has to follow the lead shown by competitors
• Costs – a business cannot ignore the cost of production or buying a product when it comes to setting a selling price. In the long-term, a business will fail if it sells for less than cost, or if its gross profit margin is too low to cover the fixed costs of the business.
• The state of the market for the product – if there is a high demand for the product, but a shortage of supply, then the business can put prices up.
• The state of the economy – some products are more sensitive to changes in unemployment and workers wages than others. Makers of luxury products will need to drop prices especially when the economy is in a downturn.
• The bargaining power of customers in the target market – who are the buyers of the product? Do they have any bargaining power over the price set? An individual consumer has little bargaining power over a supermarket (though they can take their custom elsewhere). However, an industrial customer that buys substantial quantities of a product from a business may be able to negotiate lower or special prices.
• Other elements of the marketing mix – it is important to understand that prices cannot be set without reference to other parts of the marketing mix. The distribution channels used will affect price – different prices might be charged for the same product sold direct to consumers or via intermediaries. The price of a product in the decline stage of its product life-cycle will need to be lower than when it was first launched.

Catherine de Médicis
Catherine de Médicis
biographical name(born April 13, 1519, Florencedied Jan. 5, 1589, Blois, France) Queen consort of Henry II (1547–59), mother of Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III, and regent of France (1560–74). A member of the Medici family, she married Henry in 1533 and bore him 10 children. She became queen when Henry inherited the crown in 1547, and she greatly mourned his accidental death in 1559. After their son Francis became king, she began a long struggle with members of the Guise family, extremists who sought to dominate the crown. After Francis's premature death in 1560, she became regent for Charles IX until 1563 and dominated the rest of his reign until 1574. She attempted to settle the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Huguenots. She has traditionally been blamed for the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew's Day, but, though she authorized the assassination of Gaspard II de Coligny and his principal followers, it appears that she did not authorize the massacre that followed.
