Review: Introduction to PermacultureUser Review - Becky - Goodreads
A really great resource, but a lot of it doesn't apply to a home setting. Still, useful in so many ways and a great intro to the principles! Read full review
Review: Introduction to PermacultureUser Review - Angie - Goodreads
A good, as the title says, introduction. There is a chapter on permaculture in the city/ suburbs and the chapters on zones 1-2 will be of use to the city dweller who owns a property with some land. I'm following up with Gaia's Garden for more city permaculture gardening. Read full review

Sitting there puffing weed
Telling me repeatedly all the things you want to be
from Why? – Paper Hearts Lyrics on Genius
The previous line is important here. The girl is 'leafing through the glossary', implying that she's reading words she doesn't fully understand, while smoking weed. She's bright-eyed and hopeful to see herself embody some of these complicated terms she doesn't fully understand, and she wants a bright future, but in the end she's too high to motivate herself to actualize these behaviors.

bees Starving?
I am a 1 yr beekeeper with 4 hives I am concerned that 2 of my hives might be starving for lack of enough stores for the winter here. I have no feeders in the hive as I believed the honey that was present in the top deep was enough. Upon opening the hive top there was no obious honey in the deep as the bees were clustered through 5 of the 10 frames. the hive seems very light. the winters here are generaly mild, 50's daytime 30's night. I don't want to lose them what emergency measures can I take. I have books that give info but it seems I should have prepared for this in the fall.
It looks like you could feed them if there is no nectar and stores are used up!... warmer winters
can deplete stores allot sooner, here up north I don't have to worry about.
I would take a frame out and put a frame feeder in and fill with syrup.

This is a psychological thriller, a horror film and a drama.
It's that "oh my god I can't believe this is really happening to me and there is no one who can help me" type of horror movie.
This is one of the most impressive horror film's I've ever seen in my life and may be my favorite horror movie of all time.
the movie was as I exspected very good, would recomend it to all movie buyersPublished 9 days ago by Andre L Bivins
Rosemary: " His eyes! What have you done to his eyes? "

Chilling! GREAT horror movie.
A classic movie. My favorite part is how many times Mia Farrow says "He was in Luther and No One loves an Albatross"Published 12 days ago by Gary Fernandez

|From this Discussion
|Isn't there a NR edition of this movie (much better) than the R rated...
No. And remember, this movie is nearly fifty yrs old, long before films were created with "alternative" this-or-that's.

|Collector's Edition DVD?
The film's original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 would be nice, too.

SAS: Zombie Assault 4
Purge the undead! Awesome upgradeable guns and armor, unique class skills, and 4 player co-op! Play the most intense zombie shooter on mobile, from the makers of Bloons TD 5.
A virus outbreak on a distant trans-federation planet unleashes horrors from humanity's past. A powerful, rapidly growing zombie horde threatens the very existence of humankind, and the only ones capable of fighting back are the highly skilled, highly weaponized special forces of the S A S. Choose from 3 unique character classes, maximize the fully customizable skill tree, and select from hundreds of weapons and armor pieces to build the ultimate zombie killing hero. Play dynamic, challenging levels in single player or 4 player cooperative multiplayer and give our ravaged civilization its last best hope for survival.
Zombies swarm the screen, exploding into bits under your hail of bullets. Each of the 17 unique zombie types have special attacks and behavior, and they can evolve - manifesting terrifying new powers as you progress through the game. And just when you think you've beat them all, savage boss zombies hunt you down, puking out acid worms or storming after you in rage mode. Learn their strengths and weaknesses as you lead the action across 7 story-driven maps with varying victory conditions.
Quickmatch with up to 3 other players of similar level and use the custom skills and weapons chosen by all players to form an effective fire team. Coordinate auto-turret placements, high level room-clearing powers like Assault Team, Aerial Bombardment, and Zombie Antidote, and move physics objects to create temporary cover while you paint the room red.
Over 160 incredible guns and armor pieces are locked up tight inside increasingly rare strongboxes that you can find in secret rooms or on the mangled remains of your enemies. Your loadout includes a pistol and two rifle class weapons - choose from fast firing submachine guns, devastating shotguns, high damage assault rifles, brutal machine guns, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, lightning guns, and more. Armor up for protection against physical, thermal, and chemical attacks, then round out your arsenal with auto-turrets, grenades, and special high damage ammo to rip through the undead before they rip through you.
The Assault, Medic, and Heavy Gunner classes each have unique upgrade trees, giving each character 19 skills to customize. Hundreds of guns and armor pieces have a range of grades and a powerful RED version when you reach high levels. In addition you can add powerful augmentations to your guns and gear which enhance core properties like damage and rate of fire, but can also improve reload time, resist damage, and heal.
Download for free and play SAS: Zombie Assault 4 now!
Currently in development - private matches and events. Please be patient and know that private matches is a top priority.
Please Note: SAS: Zombie Assault 4 is free to download and play (aside from internet, carrier, data, device, and other services for which the player is financially responsible), but some in-game items can be purchased with real money. You can turn off the payment feature by disabling in-app purchases in your device's settings.
SAS: Zombie Assault 4 is recommended for players 12 years of age and older, and the fantasy violence, gibs, and zombie blood are to be expected given the survival theme. We have included a "Gore" setting on the Options screen specifically for young or sensitive players, and this removes the blood and gibs when Gore is toggled Off.

5-star zombie-shooting awesomeness and co-op multiplayer!

Inserted without backup, either alone or as a 4 person squad, you will be sought by the walking dead, by hordes of unspeakable numbers.

LG announces new X Note Z350 Ultrabook
LG has announced the new X Note Z350 Ultrabook with a 13.3-inch display, which is the successor to the older Z330 model. It is based on Intel's third generation Core i-series platform (Ivy Bridge) and boasts of a boot up time of only nine seconds.
Another feather in its sleek silver body is a Red Dot Design Award, even though it does sort of look like every other Ultrabook we have seen recently. LG also claims that it is the thinnest Ultrabook in the world, with a thickness of just 14.7mm. And at 1.2kg, it's also very light. Read more »

THE JOKE'S ON YOU: Week 2 winner is...
Congratulations to Courierpress.com reader Eric Wandel of Newburgh, whose caption "Who needs the knowledge…could I trade you for some shoes?" was picked by readers as the Week 2 winner.
Eric wins a dozen Donut Bank donuts, a copy of the cartoon (with caption) and another piece of random swag from our office.
We had just over 200 votes and 121 entries for this week's contest.
A little later on today, we'll post the Week 3 Joke's On You cartoon.
"The Joke's On You" is a weekly cartoon caption contest to see which reader can come up with the best words to accompany a cartoon submitted by local history professor (and friend of Courierpress.com) James MacLeod. You'll find this week's cartoon at left, which you can click to enlarge.
The title, "The Joke's On You," is shamelessly stolen from a newspaper in Greensboro, N.C., that does the same thing. We like the idea so much that we sought out a cartoonist to do it here.
The rules are simple: Submit as many captions as you like, via e-mail, to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include a name and e-mail address.
Deadline for each week will be noon CDT Thursday. A committee of three folks — James MacLeod, staff writer Rich Davis and I — will pick what we think are the 10 best submissions. Then we'll put up a poll and let the readers vote on the winner from Thursday afternoon through 8 a.m. Monday morning.
We'll announce a winner, then start the process over again with a new cartoon.
Each week's winner will get a slick printout of the cartoon, autographed by the artist, as well as a congratulatory note, a dozen donuts from Kempf's Donut Bank and whatever piece of swag we can dig up around the office.

The place for everything that doesn't have a home elsewhere on RogerEbert.com, this is a collection of thoughts, ideas, snippets, and other fun things that Roger and others posted over the years.
In a frank scene between Ally Sheedy, Martha Plimpton and Rosanna Arquette in the latter's 2002 documentary, "Searching for Debra Winger," the three women bluntly spell out the problem facing cinema actresses. Their roles are mostly limited to "girlfriend" and "mother." Television gives actresses a wider selection, and it isn't afraid to hire women over (gasp!) 40. Otherwise, mainstream cinema generally (did you see that, Internet? I said "generally") suffers from ageism and a lack of imagination when it comes to women.
Worse still is that we encourage it. Consider the 10 highest-grossing films of 2013: among the female leads, you'll find 5 love interests and 2 mothers.
It's hopeful that these top films also include "Gravity," even though its marketing machine inflated George Clooney's role in the trailer, carefully omitting that most of the film is spent with Sandra Bullock's character, Dr. Ryan Stone. It's as if they didn't trust the audience to make the leap on their own, because, all told, there is a leap.
Stone isn't a typical female movie character. It starts with her job. Stone is a highly skilled scientist and astronaut, and one who is valued by NASA. As Govindini Murty put it in the Huffington Post, "'Gravity' establishes from the beginning that Bullock's character is in space because she has invented a groundbreaking medical imaging technology…Dr. Stone's skills are considered so integral to the mission that she has been given six months of astronaut training and has spent a full week in space in order to install the delicate technology in the multi-billion-dollar Hubble."
Her job is a complicated one, and by association, it explains how she can so quickly adapt to the complex situations and environments she's thrown into. Intelligence is her weapon, and the only plausible key to her survival.
While in space, Stone has no love interests. Nobody is even waiting for her back on Earth. And given that the action happens almost immediately, she has no time to develop romantic feelings for anyone else since they all die.
This is why, freshly out of saviors, Stone is hardly a damsel in distress. Instead, it's her wits that get her out of her messes. Granted, she receives much of her initial instructions from Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), but she still manages to carry them out by herself, moments after accepting his certain death. After that point, which happens about 1/3 into the film, she's on her own and—until the very last minute—in grave danger. Seemingly self-aware, the movie even toys with our expectations of the "damsel" trope by making Kowalski reappear in a hallucination.
Despite having been a mother, Stone is not a Madonna figure. She alludes to the idea that her deceased daughter might be in an otherworldly plane, but only minutes earlier, she admits that she doesn't pray, and asks someone to say a prayer purely out of desperation. She's otherwise too aloof to satisfy the tender, spiritual stereotype.
Which means Stone is flawed and difficult to idealize. Remember how she totally loses her cool at the beginning? While it's understandable—she meets with an unimaginable disaster—she's still mortal enough to panic. She's also evasive, having partly accepted the space mission to escape her problems. There's nothing to venerate, here. She has intimacy issues, she's still grieving the loss of her daughter, and while she clearly excels professionally, her job pacifies emotional turmoil. There's nothing wrong with any of these things; they're just terrifically normal, something many female movie characters are not given permission to be.
Another thing they're rarely allowed to be is plain. Stone is not a conventionally feminine or pretty character, and while Sandra Bullock is a stunner, the styling department went to a lot of trouble to tone her beauty down. She has non-descript short hair, no makeup, and her khaki-colored spandex wardrobe is appropriately practical. At no point is there even so much as a flashback to a more glam version of herself, and she never gets a makeover. I can't recall such an unembellished cinematic sci-fi heroine since Sigourney Weaver in the first three "Alien" movies.
Because the 91-minute film isn't especially heavy on dialogue, the Cuaróns (father and son wrote the screenplay) evidently trusted us to accept this female character as is, with few explanations. And what's to explain? In reality, a woman like Dr. Ryan Stone is not unusual at all.

Why Would Someone NOT Vote?
I'm not trying to start a firestorm and hope that this won't turn into that. I am also not casting stones. And this is not a political post.
But I am wondering what reasons may be for someone not voting. Do you have friends that don't vote, and if so, what do they give as a reason? I'm genuinely curious. I won't debate the reasons (and please, other responders, please don't), just want to try to understand.
The friend I have who does not vote doesn't bother to educate herself. I'm working on her for next time. :) To be fair, some of the props are quite tricky to figure out and you have to learn how to read who is behind them and who is supporting them. It's kind of like figuring out how to take the SAT, imo.
My son almost didn't vote but I told him he couldn't complain if he didn't. He finally decided to vote...only he made the decision to vote for Ron Paul...who he had to write in. He read up and listened to all the candidates and didn't like any of them except for Ron Paul. He said he was making a point with his vote...I told him he was throwing his vote away. Oh, to be young and so naive in thinking anyone cares that your candidate was not given the nomination, so you vote for him anyway to show them the error of their ways. ( :
I wouldn't have done what he did but proud that voted and didn't let me or anyone else sway his vote.
Fined? Voting is a privilege, not a mandate. The thought of punishment for not voting seems to be un-American....not anti-American.
I appreciate your passion, but I think we need to accept that the right to vote is just that....a right. The second that it becomes a punishable offense NOT to vote is the second we evolve into a full fledged police state.
We cannot make an individual be a good citizen. All we can do as parents, teachers, community leaders, friends, and neighbors is to set a good personal example and to educate those who are interested. My parents were politically informed. We held mock elections in school, government classes were interesting. My brothers and their families are all voters. My SIL, a citizen of England, joined our ranks after many years of living here. Her primary reason for becoming an American citizen was so that she could vote. :-) And complain!
I don't understand the whole "throwing your vote away" thing. Why on earth should you vote for either of the two candidates on the ballot if you dislike both of them? The whole purpose of voting is to voice your opinion of who you think would best serve the country.
Also there are plenty of people who vote who have no idea what or whom they're voting for or any knowledge of the issues.
A lot of people don't vote because they are dissatisfied with the government. It doesn't matter who one votes for or what they say, once they get in, they do whatever they want and go back on their promises.
People refused to take the ballots, or mark them so that they couldn't be counted, as a way of revolting.
A lot of young people don't vote and politicians here are trying to cater to the young university aged kids.
Voting or not voting is our right. I always do, and yesterday, it took me hours to convince my husband to vote (he felt, that in a new house, in a new town, in a new county, he didn't know enough about the candidates/issues).
But honestly? the older I get, the more I understand those who choose not to.
Voter fraud is rampant--all those who have multiple names and addresses to collect duplicate benefits often vote multiple times, to vote for the candidate most likely to give them a raise (more welfare benefits). There's not a dime's worth of difference between the 2 major parties, and no 3rd party candidate has a chance these days. Your vote DOES NOT count in the presidential election--you're only voting for the electors who are not even bound to vote the way the popular vote went (they do, of course, but they don't really have to). Absentee ballots aren't even counted unless the election is close. In our state, the questions aren't binding--the goverment can overide the popular vote with the stroke of a pen--and does. And while I like jury duty, I certainly can understand those who have jobs for whom it is a real hardship to be called up every year, two at the most--we only have to serve once every 2 years, but we get summons much more frequently than that--and then you have to deal with digging out your proof that you served recently. It's hard for people who are already strapped for cash to then lose that pay every couple of years.
I can't imagine not voting, but it's getting to be more and more a waste of time.
My SO did not vote.
He did not like either presidential candidate and said he didn't want to play a part in their future success (or failure).
I am glad he did not vote.
I don't like that some people feel they NEED to vote even when they are uninformed and feel pressure to stick with party lines or vote with a particular demographic. (gender, ethnic, social class, etc)
I believe that many, many people vote based on "groups" they fit in without really understanding much more than the last ad they saw. Campaigns bank on "commercial education" and pressure to "get out and vote"
Kath, I'm glad he voted. It shows he has the interest, and has done the research, and that was his way of speaking up. He will understand more as time goes on, but I think he should be commended. After all he made the effort to learn, he registered, he made his point.
I congratulate him.
My (late) Mom never voted the entire time I knew her. She last voted for Adlai Stevenson back in the 50's and when he lost, she was very angry. Her way of "protesting" was to not vote. In my eyes, she had no right to complain about the people elected by everyone who did vote. Plus, she was giving away her share.
Jasdip, our county had 2 pages on both sides. I can't imagine a county that had 10! What the heck would they be voting on that we didn't, I wonder? We did have 11 tricky amendments (meaning they were written so you couldn't tell if you were voting for or against the proposal). But several newspapers and the League of Women Voters websites eplained them all very well, if one was interested enough to read--and I was!
"You won't miss it until it's gone." (Talking about our democracy, and our obligation to participate *actively* in preserving it.)
I guess jury-dodgers think they will never be plaintif or defendant in a jury trial.
How long does it take to educate yourself about candidates and issues? Longer than watching a ball game or a movie? Longer than doing a puzzle or reading a book? Oooh, but it's so HARD! LOL
The election yesterday was not solely for President. Are we saying some people don't like ANY of the candidates for ANY office? How do you suppose they get to BE candidates? (Yes, people vote in something called 'primaries'.) Aw, that's too much WORK! Fine, be happy with choices made for you by others who are not too busy -- and who have vested interests of their own.
kathsgrdn, my SO wrote in Ron Paul too. :)
I always vote, but I know some people who choose not to vote, and it has nothing to do with them being uninformed. Most of them are more informed than most people I know who do vote. Unfortunately, plenty of uninformed people vote. I wonder how many people vote ONLY based off what they see on tv/radio and don't even read the pamphlets or the opposing viewpoints?
A lot of people believe our system is flawed and corrupted. We only have two choices, and those two spend millions and millions of dollars trying to get elected. They all take money from special interest groups so they make some of their decisions based on what big corporations tell them to do. Politicians don't do the right thing all the time because of this, or upcoming re-elections, or deals made with people that we have no knowledge of down here being the common citizen.
If you aren't rich or don't pander, you don't make it to the final two. Simple as that. I'd like to see a ballot where we have ten choices and we all receive the same pamphlets telling us what they're about and that's it. No commercials, no phone calls, no selling us the candidates.
I can understand why some people don't want to take part of a system they feel is completely corrupt. That's their right too, being an American. Someone shouldn't have to vote for what they feel is the lesser of two evils if they don't want to.
I've voted for third party candidates before too. I didn't care if some people thought I was throwing my vote away. I voted for who I felt was the best person for the job and I felt that was the right thing to do.
Amy my SO I mentioned above is a combat Vietnam Vet. He saw too many die. He lives with some part of that war EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
We have many freedoms that people choose or choose not to excercise. Could be personal reasons, could be laziness.
I choose to vote, to carry a gun, to practice my religion.
You may, by virtue of the very same freedoms my SO fought for, choose not to.
That's why they fight. So you have choices.
People are also willfully ignorant, believing what they want to believe, such as voter fraud, welfare fraud, birthplace, etc. Those "frauds" are virtually non-existant any more. And the statistics are all "googleable."
Voting is a right, and as such, it is one's right to NOT vote. Punishment for not voting is anathema to America and everything it stands for. Like others have said, I wish the misinformed would not vote, but it is still their right to do it.
Here is a link that might be useful: voter fraud
Some people who move around alot either don't register, or stay long enough to learn about the community and the people living there.--therefore they either can't or don't vote.
Some people who are wanted for crimes will not vote either.
Some people can't vote because they cannot get off from work, but a bit lazy to get an absentee ballot.
Do you know there are states that you don't have to show identification in order to vote? That amazes me. Then there are people who went to vote and were told they already voted by absentee ballot and so were turned away. I think I would become unglued and been arrested if someone stole my vote.
I knew when I read the OP that this could NOT be what was requested. Knowing a number of people here would go off on a tangent rather than answer a simple question. Start a different thread to debate it, a healthy debate on it would be good, but why not respect the OP?
So I'll bring this back to the original request:
"But I am wondering what reasons may be for someone not voting. Do you have friends that don't vote, and if so, what do they give as a reason? I'm genuinely curious. I won't debate the reasons (and please, other responders, please don't), just want to try to understand."
I've worked a number of campaigns and elections in various capacities over the years and after talking to people, door knocking, fundraising, fielding questions and other things I've heard a number of reasons WHY people don't/won't vote. Other than being incapacitated, hospitalized at the last minute or something like that, I can't think of legitimate reasons but that's not the question. Some of the reasons I've been given include:
- Some say they feel "it won't do any good"
- Some say they feel that voting for a 3rd party or a write in would be a waste so they won't vote for anyone
- Some say they feel afraid of jury duty, IRS or other retribution.
- Some say they feel it's not a duty to vote.
- Some are "too busy" watching TV or things.
- Some say they feel they don't have the time to vote and that the law that says they get time off to vote isn't effective or they don't want to utilize it.
- Some say they feel it's a protest.
- Some want to disavow any responsibility and this affords them the opportunity to say "Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him/her"
- Some don't believe that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
- Some don't want to stand in line to vote when they could stand in line to spend money somewhere.
- Some don't know that they could vote. (For instance, in MN you can register at the polls)
- Some feel exempt from those who feel if you don't vote, don't complain.
- Some feel there's fraud and legitimate voters can't offset it.
- Some don't know how they feel on an issue or candidate so they don't feel they should vote. Some don't know how to become more informed on it.
- Some listen to the churches, emails and other political groups who tell them not to vote
- Some get so angry with the political ads and posturing starting years before the election they become so numb they won't vote because of that.
- Some say they don't like the "tone" of elections so that's why they won't vote.
I know there's more but can't think of them right now. I really think a number of these should be discussed, in another thread.
Though I've resisted, I have to ask, Azzalea, do you have any documentation to back up the claim "Absentee ballots aren't even counted unless the election is close."?
Cynic's post reminded me of our last Provincial election.
Mom was in the hospital for several months. Knowing who she wanted to vote for, we got hold of the local office, and someone came and got her vote. So she still felt the need to vote even during a serious illness.

Voting for neither candidate, but rather a write-in or other party is a clear signal that NEITHER of the two party candidates is acceptable and is as valid a vote as any. One that your son has every right to, thank god. To say it was a throw away, is ignorant.
Not very Nice, Nycefarm. When you vote for someone who has no possible chance of winning I do think you are throwing your vote away if you vote for that person. He has every right to vote that way but I have every right to think the way I do too. I don't appreciate being called ignorant.
One friend of mine felt like her vote didn't matter. She is a Democrat, but said it seemed like most of the people around her (neighbors/co-workers/teachers) were for Romney, so she thought it was hopeless for her to even vote for Obama. She is pretty young, but I thought it was sad for her to already be jaded by the system. I don't know if she voted or not.
I don't think voting for a 3rd party candidate is throwing away your vote. I think it's making a statement that this % of people aren't satisfied with the Republican or Democrat and want another choice. You are taking away a vote for the top 2. In a close race, mabe the local ones, that would matter. In this day and age, an independent doesn't have a chance, but I think each year, they gain a little support, so maybe one day who knows?
In countries with different forms of government (like parliaments) it is not a waste to vote for a 'third party' candidate. He can be elected and will have some voice in government, however small.
In the American democracy, you 'cut off your nose to spite your face' when you vote for someone with no chance of being elected. Usually, a vote for a third party candidate dilutes support for the major candidate most like him. Your vote effectively aids the major candidate who is least like your third party candidate.
Kathsgrdn writes "Do you know there are states that you don't have to show identification in order to vote? That amazes me." This week my state of Minnesota had an ammendment on the ballot that would require a photo ID to vote. It was defeated. Arguements against it were the cost to the state to issue ID's for people that don't have any and that it would discriminate against many of the elderly who no longer drive. Both arguments seemed feeble to me. (No pun intended.) I'm unsure about how much voter fraud there is.
I live in a very rural area. Our entire township (a block 6 miles square) votes in a one room town hall that is over 100 years old. The population of this 36 square mile area is probably less than 1,000. When I was there a younger couple came in to vote. The election judge struck up a conversation with them asking them where they lived. The young man explained where. The judge says, "Ohhh the old Berg place." Alfred Berg died in about 1978! If you've lived around here for less 30 years you're still a newcomer. I'm not sure how this ties into voter ID, I just thought it was an interesting exchange.
They spent millions on Pa trying to disenfranchise voters and then shortly before election they said you didn't need it this election ,but had to show it. I didn't show it, didn't have it with me, and no one asked to see it. I signed my name beside where I've signed it for 30 years.

The SteelSeries Merc Stealth gaming keyboard is nearly identical to one we looked at back in 2007, the Ideazon Merc Gaming Keyboard. SteelSeries has since updated the product--rebranding it as the Merc Stealth--and added tricolor LEDs and a handy two-port USB hub.
The keyboard features a separate game key cluster that essentially doubles standard QWERTY keys to the left of the board. However, since the bunched-up key layout impedes accuracy, it may require an adjustment period and with enough time we'd imagine getting used to the layout. The downloadable software allows for complete customization of the board, so if all you're interested in is tailoring your keyboard to your favorite titles, the Merc Stealth is probably worth a try.
Rather than forcing you to hunt and peck your way through a typical QWERTY layout, the idea of the Merc Stealth is to isolate an additional set of game keys in a more user-friendly design. We mostly found this setup to accommodate first-person-shooter titles, but some may find success with other genres as well.
Six directional control keys anchor the game controls. Those main buttons are surrounded by various other function keys (such as Jump, Reload, and Run/Walk) preset to those commands. The robust software (available on the SteelSeries Web site) lets you customize the game keys, as well as any other key on the Merc Stealth, to perform whatever function you want; from simple single-key commands to more-complicated macros that you can program yourself. The thorough help file walks you through the less-intuitive steps, and with diligence, you should be able to get the Merc Stealth to execute pretty much any command or string of commands that a game will allow. SteelSeries also includes a relatively large number of premade key mappings to current PC game titles.

|Nanking Red Bush Cherry - Prunus tomentosa
Same bush type characteristics of Nanking White. Ripe fruits are juicy, sub-acid to sweet, eaten raw or preserved. At the Edible Park in downtown Asheville NC, kids love them fresh from the bush. Not always self fertile, to insure fruit set, plant 2. Space 6 feet. For landscape effect Japanese plums blooms overlap Nanking cherry. Zones 3-7.
|Joy Bush Cherry - Prunus jacquemonti x japonica
After 25 years of "patience and persistence," fruit breeder Elwyn Meader of New Hampshire introduced Joy. At 4' tall these fall bearing bush cherries are easy to care for. Their bloom and form resemble flowering almond. They'll fruit a year after planting. The sour cherry like fruits ripen in late summer and are not bothered by birds. When planted together they should be spaced 3' to 4' apart in well drained soil that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day.They are easy no spray fruits, highly resistant to powdery mildew and cherry worms. They are very hardy(-31 degrees F in Buckfield Maine) and are low chill tolerant in the south and west.Joy is self-fertile. Space 3-4' circle. Zones 3-8.
|Joel Bush Cherry - Prunus jacquemonti x japonica
Joel is so similar to Joy that the above description could be reprinted here.
