This weekend was my first in a long time spent in the Netherlands without any other reason than than "seeing my friends" (and I ended up spending most of it in Germany…).
My time in the Netherlands is limited. And being very Dutch, I want to use it optimally. I know that "cramming in more" might be efficient, but it's definitely not effective, so "seeing everybody for a little while" doesn't work. Instead, I'll have to make choices on whom I see when.Before I knew it, before I really wanted to, I was creating a mental list of my friends, ranked in order. At first I was quite appalled by myself, doing something like this. But thinking about it a bit further, everybody has best friends, good friends, friends, good acquaintances, acquaintances, vague acquaintances… So instead of railing against this, maybe it's more interesting to see what puts someone where in the ordering.
So, things that for me make better friends:
- Time spent together: The more time you spend together, the better friends you become. And the better friends you are, the more time you spend together… Maybe this isn't just a desirable "quality", but just the definition of friendship? But that's not entirely true, I have really good friends, whom I can't spend a lot of time with due to circumstances (distance mostly)…
- Trustworthiness: Finding a knife in your back is a sure end of a friendship. But it's also subtler than that. Not canceling when meeting up (and being on time when you don't cancel), keeping a secret, basically "doing what you say you would". And in some cases, going well beyond that. I'm very happy that there are a few people in my life that would come and pick me up from a South American jungle if I really needed them to…
- Enjoying the same things as I do: It's nice if you are able to enjoy activities together, ranging from a night in the pub or club, making music, playing games or going for a (long) hike. This makes the "spending time" easier and more enjoyable.
- Speaking with a passion, listening with compassion: A lot of talking is involved in being friends. So I want people who have something interesting to say (and say it in an interesting way), while also being able to listen to what I have on my heart. There should be a fair balance in this, with both parties contributing more or less an equal amount (over time). This also means listening to my woes, while sharing theirs (which is very different from complaining, see below), as well as support to carry on and / or to do the right thing.
- Being fun: This means for me being optimistic, having a laugh, doing something silly, being game for something interesting and / or new. It also means not complaining or bitching, not bragging, not being obnoxious.
- Mixing well: I enjoy large(r) gatherings, of having a group of friends together for whatever. So, "playing nicely with others" is a definite boon. This can be because you're part of the same group of friends (that always works well of course), but also just a general "openness of character".
- Being admirable: I like looking up to people. I like my friends to do cool, interesting and important stuff with their lives. This doesn't have to be "finding a cure to cancer" (though one, in a very limited way, actually is doing that!), simply being good at something and being a good person is enough for that. I enjoy being inspired.
I wonder if other people would have markedly different things in their list (if so, post a comment?). Until then however I'm just going to assume that other people are just like me and that this is what others desire as well. So, if I want to be the best friend that I can (which I do want!), the above is what I will have to do as well. I think I do ok most of the time, but perhaps I could focus on it for a bit more?
Happy friendships!
I'm Bastiaan. This blog is meant to give you some insight into the things I run into and perhaps to inspire you to go in search of your own life extraordinaire.
I love to connect, so if you have thoughts, ideas or questions based on this (or another) post, please leave me a comment!

Can anybody that owns both comment on the sizing, specifically the thighs/rear?
I have a pair of Rescues in 34 that fit well. I've tries New Standards and they fit OK but a little tighter around the thighs than I like.
The PNS is described as being the same as the NS at the top but tapering, yet I was looking at the APC measurement chart at context clothing and it shows (for the same size) the PNS being slightly wider in the thighs than the NS.

I had a minor motorcycle accident in them, which contributed to the tearing on the right side. Other than that, it was just walking around campus and doing regular student things.

I'm looking to get a pair of PS jeans. I'm 5'3 and 146lbs. My true waist measures 32"
Thigh circumference around 22"
My current jeans that fit are sz32 and measure 15.5" across the waist, 10.5" across thigh (at crotch level)
Should I go for a 29 or 28 in the PS? Is there much of a difference?

Grabbed this pair cheap on eBay. it's my first pair, so I figured I'd buy a cheap pair and determine how to size based on that. however these actually fit surprisingly well, so i will probably keep them. they are 30x30. I was wondering whether I should hem them 1-2 inches or just leave them as is? they are petit standards

I like stacks so i wouldnt hem... just depends on ur style really , they look great 2 me btw.
What does APC mean by you can wear them high and low? What will the resulting looks look like? Which is preferred?
Is the size table at Context Clothing official or legit?

Mine too. Both pockets. But I do not think it has anything to do with the pants. My iPhone has sharp edges, and thats what makes the holes.
Anyway I have a 32 petit standard which fits really good. Been wearing them for a year now. But not exclusively. Then I wanted to try the Petit New standard and some petit standard in black. Both size 32. The problem is that these two new pairs are WAY more tight than the old raw blue indigo PS 32.
I know they need to be worn for some time to expand, but the PS was NEVER this tight. My ass cannot literally fit in the two new pants, and my thighs does not really fit in the pants. I can barely bottom them..
Why are the 32 PNS and BLACK PS so much slimmer than the raw indigo PS? All are size 32.

So, to any other engineers that may be able to answer this question. My rogue is the said engineer and I have an addon that shows me what patterns that I don't have and what NPC to obtain them.
I already went to the female goblin Sally Fizzlefury out by the hunting expedition in Valley of the four winds, learned the three or so things that I could from her and yet still I haven't a clue where to get the MOP engineering crafted goggles.
Sally doesn't sell them, the goblin with the helmet in the Panda capital city doesn't sell them and the engineer trainers/vendors in Orgrimmar doesn't sell patterns.
So my question to you other engineers is: Where do I get these engineering goggle schematics and other schematics this addon supposedly says is available, where do they drop or what reputation may I need to get them?
Confused Goblin engineering rogue.
90 Pandaren Hunter
The level 90 BoP epic goggles? I learned mine from the Engineering Trainer in Org. Your addon may be showing recipes for mail, cloth, and plate versions, which your rogue can't use, so won't be offered.
It's just odd that I can't seem to find it. Checked all the trainers and the only thing they have left is the Gnomish schematics since I'm goblin. I'll just have to try and check again. *shrug*
Oh wait, nevermind. Apparently I got it trained when I spam bought the other schematics so problem is solved! <3

Seen and Unseen
Whenever there's a violent tragedy, someone immediately starts using it as an excuse to restrict civil liberties. Many on the left understand this when it comes to the Patriot Act, but not when it comes to gun control. (Conservatives have selective blindness in the opposite direction.)
In deontological terms, the right to self-defense is the foundation and presupposition of all other rights; and forbidding private citizens to own guns while allowing police and soldiers to carry them is a violation of moral equality – a reserving of weapons to the powerful while denying them to the powerless.
In consequentialist terms, gun control is a perfect example of the broken window fallacy. Deaths caused by gun use are seen, because they happen. Deaths prevented by gun use are not seen, because they don't happen. (By "gun use" I mean not just firings but also mere brandishings.) First, preventions are underreported (since few are eager to be victimised twice – first by a freelance attacker and second by the cops), and second, when they are reported, they're not exciting enough to get much publicity.
People who favour stronger gun control laws focus on the deaths they hope to prevent, but rarely consider the deaths their laws would cause. One useful corrective to this attitude is the Cato Institute study Tough Targets: When Criminals Face Armed Resistance From Citizens.
And although I'm not a fan of the NRA (which I don't regard as an anti-gun-control organisation), they have a useful blog, The Armed Citizen, documenting lives saved by private gun use.

I'm curious how you would explain the following, then:
Number of Murders, United States, 2010: 12,996Number of Murders by Firearms, US, 2010: 8,775Number of Murders, Britain, 2011*: 638
(Since Britain's population is 1/5 that of US, this is equivalent to 3,095 US murders)Number of Murders by firearms, Britain, 2011*: 58
(equivalent to 290 US murders)
I guess your "broken windows" argument would mean that if it were not for private gun ownership in the US, the ratio of US:UK murders would be even greater than the 4:1 which actually obtains. So what would you say was the "natural" difference in murder rates between the two countries, assuming equal levels of gun ownership?
I would imagine that a consequentialist would want to know not only how many lives were saved by gun ownership, but also how many additional deaths could be attributed to gun ownership. You talk about the first a lot, but seem unwilling to address the second. Why?
Also I find your notion of moral equality to be incoherent (except perhaps from an absolute anarchist view of society). As stated, it would seem to justify the private possession of nuclear weapons. Is this what you intended?

I guess your "broken windows" argument would mean that if it were not for private gun ownership in the US, the ratio of US:UK murders would be even greater than the 4:1 which actually obtains.
No, it doesn't mean that. Britain and Switzerland both have lower rates of gun violence than the u.s., yet in Britain there's less access to assault weapons than in the u.s., while in Switzerland there's more access to assault weapons than in the u.s. So availability is not the only factor; cultural factors are
important also.
I would imagine that a consequentialist would want to know not only how many lives were saved by gun ownership, but also how many additional deaths could be attributed to gun ownership. You talk about the first a lot, but seem unwilling to address the second. Why?
The second is already part of the conversation; the first is much less so.
Also I find your notion of moral equality to be incoherent (except perhaps from an absolute anarchist view of society).
I think you've got premise and conclusion reversed there.
As stated, it would seem to justify the private possession of nuclear weapons.
Only if states are justified in possessing nuclear weapons, which of course they are not.
Sean II
I considered getting some low-yield nuclear weapons for home defense, because, you know, I have a few valuables in the house.
Turns out, those things cost like 50 million dollars (and that's after someone else already paid for the R&D!).
But just watch out! If I acquire the original of 'Peasant Woman on a Background of Wheat" and I need a fail-safe deterrent against art thieves, that warhead suddenly starts looking like a sweet bargain.
Gordon Barnes
Gun related violence is most common in poor, urban areas. (I can document that for you, if need be). There are many more such areas in the UK than there are in the rural mountains Switzerland. So in one crucial respect, the UK is relevantly similar to the US, whereas Switzerland is not. So I think that the point about the UK stands, and the example of Switzerland is defeated as a counterexample. Moreover, just ask a police officer who works in an inner city: "if all guns in the US were confiscated as a matter of law, would that decrease the amount of gun violence in inner cities?" I am quite confident that the answer would be "yes," and countries all over Europe illustrate the point.
As for the point about the right to self-defense, individuals can exercise that right through their elected representatives, and they can do it precisely by outlawing guns. So the decision to outlaw guns is an exercise of the right to self-defense, not a violation of it.
Aeon Skoble
"As for the point about the right to self-defense, individuals can exercise that right through their elected representatives" 1, this overlooks the fact the government is often the rights-violator. See Radley Balko's writings at HuffPo or The Agitator. 2, the courts have rule that the police have no constitutional duty to protect you. Also: you say that we can protect ourselves by banning guns. Think about that for a sec: we have already passed laws banning rape and murder and robbery, yet they still happen. How is that possible? Because predators don't care what the law says. If they're willing to break the laws against robbing and raping and killing, they'll also be willing to defy a gun ban.
Gordon Barnes
I agree that government is often the rights violator, and my reply that is the people need to take control of their government. Government should be the agency of the people, acting collectively. In my view, hat is the solution to the abuses of government. As for the analogy with rape, etc, the rarity of gun violence in countries in Europe where guns are banned attests to the possibility of reducing gun violence by banning guns. I would not claim that gun violence can be eliminated, but I do claim that it can be drastically reduced, as it has been in Europe. You will not read any headlines like those about Columbine, Virginia Tech, Fort Hood, or Colorado in the newspapers in Europe. The proof is in the pudding.

What about Norway?
Sean II
Don't forget the UK's own massacres at Cumbria, Hungerford, & Dunblane.
In Europe, there was that guy who shot up the Swiss parliament ten years ago, attacking political targets for apolitical reasons (much like Jared Loughner did in my country). In Germany they had the Erfurt and Winnenden school shootings. In France they had that .22 rifle rampage back in the late 1990s.
It would be absurd to think active shooters and spree killers are some kind of American phenomenon. If anything is different, it's simply that the French, Swiss, German, and British media don't respond to such crimes by calling for nationwide panic.
The newspapers here probably have editorials pre-written for these events, with titles like "The Guns We Love Don't Love Us Back." As usual, Americans prove themselves to have a quivering lower lip.
Gordon Barnes
Great that you bring up Switzerland, since that is one of the countries in which guns are legal, and thus it illustrates my point. In the other countries, such cases are much rarer than they are in the US, which also proves my point. I'm not saying that it never happens, but only that it happens much less frequently
Sean II
I'm not convinced these cases ARE significantly more common in the United States than elsewhere. To show that one would need a full catalog of massacres, comparing the number of incidents (or maybe the number of victims) to population, controlling for the overall crime rate and who knows what other variables as well.
Hardly a simple task, and as far as I know, no one has yet attempted it. There would be many tricky questions. Should political violence count toward the total? If so, then what counts as political violence? If a legal gun is used along with illegal explosives, then would you still categorize the incident as a murder committed with lawfully obtained weapons? What about cases where the particular gun used was obtained illegally, in a nation that otherwise allows gun sales? And so on…
Gordon Barnes
Guns are legal in Norway, as they are in the US
Aeon Skoble
See this excellent post by Lester Hunt: http://lesterhhunt.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-colorado-sootings-irrelevant-to-gun.html I have nothing to add.
http://twitter.com/JFCatalan Jonathan Finegold
The lopsidedness of firearm restrictions in certain states in the United States should also be considered. I'm not saying that these do play a role, but that they might. In other words, firearm laws might distort their distribution, giving them to some but not to others.
http://twitter.com/cheezdog cheezdog
what was England's murder rate before they banned guns nobody ever asks that . It was about 500 in 1997 and in 1991 it was about 450 so that worked well for them.
Interesting take on libertarian equality. I posted some cursory remarks a few years ago. I like your use of the language of "equality of authority" instead of "equality of rights", even though there are complications with the concept of (practical) authority. Simmons' work on Locke may be informative here too, particularly "On the Edge Anarchy". One reason why I like using "authority" here is because I think that "self-authority" or "self-sovereignty" is a better way of conceptualizing the basic intuitions animating the idea of "self-ownership", while at the same time not being burdened by the complications that arise from the close conceptual ties between ownership and property (what does it mean to 'own' my self?). The concept of "ownership" is really just another way
of expressing the idea of sovereignty or authority over a certain
domain of issues. A thought experiment by Margaret Gilbert is helpful here and provides a case for the plausibility of, at the very least, a presumption of self-authority:
What of the case of commands to self? This seems to
be less troublesome from the outset. Consider the contrast between the
following two cases. First case: in a railway carriage, John turns to Angela, a
stranger to him, and says, 'Shut the window!' She may well feel affronted. Even
if she says nothing, she is liable to think, 'He has no right to order me
about!' I construe this type of situation as follows. John struck her as
attempting to give her an order. She denies that he has the standing to do so.
Second case: John is sitting alone in the railway carriage, feeling cold. He is
also lazy, and is finding it hard to bestir himself to get up and open the
window. Finally he says to himself 'Get up and shut the window!' This strikes
him—it is, indeed, intended—as an order. The thought that he has no right to
order himself about is unlikely to occur to him. He may of course continue to
resist getting up, thereby disobeying his self-addressed command. But he is
unlikely to deny that it is indeed a command—an authoritative, self-addressed imperative.
It seems, then, that one automatically has the standing to command oneself. [footnoted omitted]. Perhaps there should be a ceteris paribus clause here. Perhaps I could somehow deprive
myself of that status. Be that as it may, there still appears to be a sharp
[250] asymmetry between the case of self-commands and the case of commands to
others. All else being equal (at least) one has the standing to command
oneself. One does not, in other words, have initially to earn that standing by
some 'special' relationship to oneself that one might have lacked. In contrast,
all else being equal, one lacks the standing to command others. -Gilbert, A Theory of Political Obligation
249-50 (2006).

Equality and libertarianism
Posted by Hume
Libertarian political
philosophy is often criticized for not taking equality seriously as an
important political value. Is this
charge legitimate? Do libertarians
reject the idea of equality as such? Do
they reject the idea that "everyone is equal"?To understand the controversies
regarding equality, one must first understand the nature of equality as a
political ideal. An important and
fundamental distinction to understand (made by Ronald Dworkin) is between
"treating an individual equally" and "treating an individual as an equal." Treating someone equally means acting
in such a way that affects their position along a particular dimension equally
(e.g., to the same distribution of goods or opportunities). Treating someone as an equal requires
treating them with "equal concern and respect."
Treating someone with "concern" is to treat them "as human beings who are
capable of suffering and frustration."
Treating someone with "respect" is to treat them "as human beings who are
capable of forming and acting on intelligent conceptions of how their lives
should be lived."Treating individuals "as
equals" is a higher-order principle than treating them "equally." This is because treating equally requires
equal treatment along some dimension.
But treatment can always be compared along multiple dimensions. One need only to look to the familiar
political slogans regarding economic distribution to see how this is so: (1) 'To
each according to his needs'; (2) 'To each according to his
efforts'; or (3) 'To each according to his contribution.' Thus, need, effort, and contribution all act
as possible dimensions along which one can be "treated equally" vis-à-vis
economic distribution. In the typical
case, these principles cannot be satisfied at the same time. Thus, there is a need for a higher-order
principle, a principle to decide which first-order distributive principle is to
govern economic distribution. This is
where treating someone "as an equal" comes in, it selects which first-order
principle is to carry the day.The problem of equality is to
be found when one attempts to apply the second-order principle of treatment "as
equals" (equal concern and respect) to competing first-order distributive
principles (e.g., "to each according to his need" vs. "to each according to his
contribution") in order to select which is the morally correct first-order
principle. In order to decide specific
and controversial issues, the "treatment as equals" needs interpretation. But in order to do this, mid-level or
"mediating" principles are required, and the more specific the issues are, the
more controversial the mediating principles will be.Thus, there is a problem of
interpretation of treatment "as equals" (let's call this second-order principle
the "equal consideration principle").
Thomas Nagel offers an illuminating way to understand the situation. Interpretation of the equal consideration
principle can be understood in the following way: equal consideration provides
individuals with a "veto." If a policy
or procedure fails to treat him with equal consideration, he is justified in rejecting it, and his
non-acceptance is a reason for doubting its legitimacy. The issue, the problem of equality, is where to place the veto, and
different mediating principles differ in where they claim the veto properly
belongs.For example, a utilitarian
mediating principle places the veto at the input stage. There is a moral requirement to maximize the
good overall, and the egalitarian aspect requires that every individual's
interests be taken into account, everyone is given equal weight (my interests
are given the same weight as Michael Jordan's interests, his interests do not
count more just because he is Michael Jordan).
Notice that equality is not
taken into account at the output
stage: an output of the decision-procedure is legitimate, no matter how unequal
the distribution, so long as everyone's interests were taken into account and
given equal weight, and as long as the decision maximizes the good overall.
This finally brings us back to
the questions regarding libertarianism.
As now should be clear, libertarians do in fact take equality
seriously. Treating someone with "equal
concern and respect" is a central feature of libertarian thought. The differences between libertarianism and
other egalitarian conceptions of equality are caused by the differing mediating
principles and where they claim the veto should be placed. Most libertarians believe in a strong
conception of individual rights (Robert Nozick famously opens Anarchy, State,
and Utopia by declaring that "[i]ndividuals have rights, and there are
things no person or group may do to them (without violating their
rights)"). Thus, libertarians believe
that every individual has a veto against an invasion of their rights. One is not treated with "equal concern and
respect" if a procedure or policy violates that person's rights (without
acquiring consent). As Nagel describes
the position, "[t]he moral equality of persons . . . is their equal claim
against each other not to be interfered with in specified ways. Each person must be treated equally in
certain definite respects by each other person." As a result, it is incorrect to charge
libertarians with failing to consider equality.
It is, of course, entirely legitimate to disagree with the mediating
principles and the resultant placement of the veto, but in order to avoid
begging the question, one must first acknowledge equality as a genuine concern
in libertarian thought.

Perhaps cases where people are not killed because some do not have easy access to guns are discounted for similar reasons to the one's you mention.
"Whenever there's
a violent tragedy, someone immediately starts using it as an excuse to restrict
civil liberties. Many on the left understand this when it comes to the Patriot
Act, but not when it comes to gun control. (Conservatives have selective
blindness in the opposite direction.)"
An excellent example of the paranoid style or argument. Seeing a bad outcome occurring under the
existing set of gun possession and use policies and proposing a change in some
of those policies is an "excuse" to restrict civil liberties. The
implication is that the desire to restrict civil liberties was already there. Should we not be able to discuss whether a
specific restriction on firearms sale or use without a presumption of bad faith
on the part of the proposer? I do not
recall a similar criticism of the Patriot act.
My recollection is that Patriot Act criticism was and is that in their
desire to "do something," "conservatives" gave little
weight to the consequent restriction of civil liberties, not that they had the
urge restrict them before the event and used 9/11 as an "excuse."
http://www.facebook.com/people/Rod-Engelsman/822499328 Rod Engelsman
Perhaps that criticism of conservatives vis-a-vis the Patriot Act wasn't current among your libertarian friends, but it was among the liberals. And rightly so given that about a thousand pages of legislation just sort of magically appeared in just a few days. Almost as if it had been laying around in someone's drawer just waiting for the right moment….
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=743482150 David Sobel
On the moral equality argument, I see that as compatible with the most serious waiting periods and background checks that are politically viable at the moment. Also, I wonder why that argument requires that we allow citizens to have guns but not also the most deadly weapons that soldiers use.
http://www.facebook.com/erik.mn.9 Erik Mn
With tragedy, especially human caused, I'm reminded of something a lot of people turn to, god. They often pray. That's O.K. if that's what they need. What scares me is a State that tries to play omnipotent, and the people that want to turn to it for salvation– and expect others to do the same. I respect freedom of religion, but freedom from religion is not tolerated in this case…even if you carry a gun.
Damien S.
I suspect guns are a wash, actually; the US has higher non-gun homicide rates than other countries have total homicide rates. IOW, we stab each other more than other people kill each other. So on net guns don't seem to protect us or to explain all of our high murder rate.
But I'll also note there's a lot of conflation, on both sides, in these arguments. There's handguns and long guns, and AIUI the US is unusually permissive in allowing handgun ownership, while kind of average in long gun ownership. I'd guess gang shootings involve longer guns, but muggings and non-domestic self-defense involve hand guns. Countries like Switzerland, Norway, or Canada own lots of guns… but not lots of handguns.
Also, of course, many Swiss guns are in a sense not owned or controlled by the individual; they're part of the system of universal conscription, and actual use of them outside of mobilization or training is severely restricted.
There's also a lot of diversity within the US, in space and time. US homicide rates have gone up and down a lot, independent of gun control trends, while Louisiana has 10x the murder rate of New Hampshire; regionally, the South is high, everyone else low. Guns, or culture?
Damien S.
Also, as a consequentialist I'd be concerned with gun accident rates as well. If ubiquitous gun ownership meant a modest reduction in gun violence that was heavily outweighed by an increase in accidents, from one's own gun or those of others, that'd turn me off widespread ownership.
(Some count suicide rates too, but I don't, figuring the desire to suicide can be fulfilled other ways.)
I usually wish I could unsee trite references to Bastiat, but if you're interested in seeing something, crooked timber has some nice data to look at.
Across countries:
Across states:
Scott Trinh
Just throwing this out there since I don't have any data to support my claim, but I would throw Drug Prohibition into the mix of variables used to explain the murder rate in the United States. Maybe cross reference gun ownership percentages from before 1900 and their murder rates, and look at the increase in murder starting with Alcohol Prohibition through today's War on Drugs?

VF-11 Question. . .
Hi fellow hoya lovers,
Is it true that leaves take in nutrients from the under-side of the leaves? Is the plant not getting all the benefit if you only spray the top?
My common sense tells me it isn't true, as in the wild the under-side of the leaves probably never even get wet. But then again, perhaps they take in the nutrients when the under-side of the leaves come in contact with whatever they are clinging to. . .
Do those of you that spray with VF-11 pay particular attention to the under-side?
I do with the ones I can get to, but some of the fuller ones, it's nearly impossible.
Hi Debi,
This is how I understand it - the leaf epidermis has stomata, or tiny "slits" that open and close to expel (and take in, I assume) gases. Plants fall into "dicots" and "monocots" (these are shortened names for long ones I can never remember w/o looking them up!) and "dicots" have more stomata on the underside of the leaf than the upperside. Since Hoya fall into "dictos" (which just means plants that have two seedling leaves as opposed to one...), spraying the underside is beneficial. Probably more than you wanted to know, but yes, I do try to get the underside sprayed if I can. Some plants, like you say, it's nearly impossible...
And another thing - I understand that the stomata are typically open at night and close during the day to preserve moisture in the plant. So it's best to spray either after dark, or early in the morning before the sun comes up.
Denise in Omaha
Thanks Denise,
Your explainations are always so helpful, and make so much sense. . . :) thanks for the detailed explaination.
I usually do do my watering/care for my plants in the morning. I am usually up by 5, hubby and dogs are still in bed. I guess I have been doing a good thing by doing it that time of day, w/out even knowing it. I like my *my time* and it's wee hours of the day. . .
Thanks again,
Brad a tip about VF-11 is to soak new cuttings you receive in it before planting. The VF-11 reduces stress and shock and gives them an extra boost to help with rooting.
Usually what I do is make a pitcher of VF-11 and soak the cuttings and while they soak I decide if I will plant them in spagnum moss, soil mix or root cubes. I then dampen which ever I use with the VF-11. Then I plant the cuttings.
With spagnum moss or root cubes you will need to squeeze out the excess so they are not soggy of course.
Use what's left of the VF-11 water to water other plants in need of a drink. One never wastes VF-11 water after all! haha.
This is a good way to ensure success.,,,Debbie
I am investigating other plant nutrients. I have been happy with VF-11 but with shipping costs at an all time high,I have to start using something else or find it locally(That I have not been able to do) I have done on-line searches of the big box stores and anywhere I can think of that sells plants with no luck. I had read that some folks were using Dyna-Grow from Home Depot,not here!
Yes we are dealing with, I think, hardy plants. What do other hoya growers use? I would appreciate any help.
Thank you for reading my note and Happy Thanksgiving to All.
gardenmagic, I use Foliage Pro 9-3-6 by dyna-gro but have never gotten it at any of the big box stores or anywhere locally. I have to order mine online. But I only use 1/2 tsp per gal. of water, so one qt. last me a long time. I use VF-11 only for rooting,spraying the leaves occasionally or stressed cuttings for the same reasons as you, I cannot find it locally and shipping is getting outrageous!
Click on "dealers" then your state to see the closest location near you!

I stayed here with my kids, and we could have moved here. We stayed in the cottages that are detached, and the unit we stayed in felt like we were the first ones to stay there. Very clean and fully furnished. We had a very nice view of the lake and enjoyed eating on our private patio. This resort also has tennis courts, basketball hoops, putting green, pool/hot tub and hiking trail that is very nice. It is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Kelowna for all your shopping and dining needs.Truly one of nicest places that I have stayed at.

Hired her to handle my Mother's estate. Not only was she unable to handle her Medicaide case, but she was very unproffessional. We had to hire another attorney to complete case. Paid Ms. Leu twice what other attorneys charge. When we requested her to refund if not all part of what we paid her, she refussed. Run from her as fast as possible.
Lawyer Comment:
This is a false testimonial. I do not know any of my clients who were unsatisfied with the Medicaid planning and never refused to refund someone named "Mary." This was fraudulent.

Response from Keith Henry, M.D.

I don't quite understand the negative reviews by others, but we're all entitled to our own opinion. Personally, this devotional has been quite inspirational for me and I've enjoyed it completely. We all have good days and we all have bad days, and I read this book on both good and bad days and it has been very uplifting, especially on the bad days. I recently purchased additional copies to give to my friends and I know that they will enjoy this book just as much as I do.

Too-connected versus too-big-to-fail: banks' network centrality and overnight interest rates
What influences banks' borrowing costs in the unsecured money market? The objective of this paper is to test whether measures of centrality, quantifying network effects due to interactions among banks in the market, can help explain heterogeneous patterns in the interest rates paid to borrow unsecured funds once bank size and other bank and market factors that affect the overnight segment are controlled for. Preliminary evidence shows that large banks borrow on average at better rates compared to smaller institutions, both before and after the start of the financial crisis. Nonetheless, controlling for size, centrality measures can capture part of the cross-sectional variation in overnight rates. More specifically: (1) Before the start of the crisis all the banks, independently of their size, profit from different forms of interconnectedness, but the economic size of the effect is small. Bank reputation and perceived credit riskiness are the most relevant factors to reduce average daily interest rates. Foreign banks borrow at a discount over Italian ones. (2) After August 2007 the impact of banks' interconnectedness becomes larger but changes sign: the "reward" stemming from a higher centrality becomes a "punishment", which possibly reflects market discipline. Bank reputation becomes even more important. (3) After Lehman's bankruptcy the effect of centrality on the spread maintains the same sign as after August 2007, but the magnitude increases remarkably. Foreign banks borrow at a relevant premium over Italian ones; reputation becomes outstandingly more important than in normal times.

Garden losses
Hello fellow gardeners:
I have not been gardening too long yet and have lost a few plants to different causes. I assume others have lost plants in their gardening career; just wondering what the experiences of others has been. Obviously as a person gains more experience with different plants, their losses go down. And are you disappointed by these losses? I mean midly? Or because of the cost? Any thoughts on this topic are appreciated.
There is not a gardener alive that has not lost plants. Sometimes you are disappointed because the cost and sometimes it is because it was a plant that you really liked, and sometimes you are not disappointed at all because you didn't like that plant anyway.
However you go on. You chalk the cost up to a learning experience, and find others you like as well. You learn how to protect the tender plants and which plants do well in your garden. Then you push the boundries and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
I've lost a few and gain alot in my garden by experimenting and pushing the envelope. If I really want that plant, I always try at least three times, maybe in a different location. After the third time, it was never meant to be. Que Sera, Sera!
Keep in mind too, some plants don't last forever ;)
You can always buy from reputable growers/nurseries like Holes Greenhouse they guarantee their plants, having been properly planted and received reasonable care (Trees, Shrubs & Roses; that die within the first growing season (until November) or the second growing season (until the following November) can be exchanged for a credit from HoleÂÂs.
100% credit in the first growing season
50% credit in the second growing season
Ginny, It is always fairly sad to lose a plant, which is why I like to avoid spending too much on any one. So far my biggest disappointments have been Datura Golden Queen. I just can't seem to get those seeds to germinate. But for every loss it seems I have two gains, mostly due to compulsive purchasing and experimenting.
Last year it was roses and it looks like a few of my rose seedlings might have perished, but many appear to have made it through the winter with very little protection.
Can't tell if my Re blooming Iris's from Veseys lived yet, but I was taking my chances with a zone4/5 plant.
Sharon, I saw in a 2006 thread you were trying Gladiolus Imbricatus, from Garden's North, were they wins or losses?
I have lost several plants in the past few years. One was a gorgeous white/yellow/peach peony I had paid a lot of money for. It survived the first year, flowered and then didn't survive the winter. I still don't know why. This year my Shirley Temple peony isn't up yet. Am I expecting it up to early? Last year it was up by May so maybe I am. I did lose my Lewisia after a really bad winter. So far I have been very lucky and not lost to much - but there are somethings I bought that I wish I hadn't and they keep on growing and growing!. The lose of plants is something all gardener's face. Marg
Zoe, when did you plant your 'Re blooming Iris's from Veseys'?
Irises that are planted late in the fall have no chance to settle in and make a root system before the winter hits.
In our zone 1-3 gardens none of the Tall Bearded irises will rebloom. There just isn't time for the rhizome to bloom, make increases and then have the increases to be mature enough to bloom yet that summer. Actually, they are more likely to bloom every two years, as our growing season is short and the rhizome has to be mature enough before it is going to bloom. Thus, you may end up having an iris for a few years, with all its increases before you will have the clump bloom for you on a regular basis.
In the future, whatever irises you plant in your garden, when it comes to freezeup time, give a gentle tug on the iris. If it comes out...it was not settled in with new roots and you need to grow it in the house for the winter. If it does not come out, chances are pretty good that it will make it thru.
I even had to take a few irises inside to grow for the winter, that the deer grabbed with their teeth, didn't bother to eat, but left on top of the ground at the end of last November. grrrrrr.... And those irises had been established with a good root system and all. But, now they have some wonderful increases as they have spent the whole winter growing here in the house, in the window. I will now have to find their spot in the garden again and place them back there sometime in the next few weeks.
I don't know of any plants yet that I have lost as some plants will look dead and then in the middle of May suddenly take off. But, I have had some pleasant surprises of plants that did make it that I didn't expect.
It is normal for me to lose a few perennials each year. If it is a mature plant sometimes the tightness of the rootball and lack of the roots to have any soil around them to retain any moisture can basically 'freezerburn' them during the winter.
It can be quite disappointing to lose an expensive new perennial though.

Startup Uses Radiation Fear To Map Cellphone Coverage 81
from the might-as-well-put-it-to-good-use dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The asians have been selling anti-radiation maternity cloths for years now. My wife purchased one herself. Surprisingly, they work...at blocking cell reception at least. I tested it out with two cell phones. Both had full bars. As soon as I covered one of the phones all the way around, the signal dropped. It was instant and the test could be repeated over and over again. So the clothes do was they're advertised to do. The question is, does it really impact the safety of fetal development? Doubt it. But there you go.
http://www.amazon.com/Radiation-Maternity-Preganat-Protection-Shielding/dp/B0053ZPB6U [amazon.com]
While the fear mongering and data collection is a bit worrisome, they might actually be on to something here.
It would be very useful to have crowd-sourced maps of cell coverage, speeds, dropped calls, etc... Would certainly make the choice of provider a much more informed decision, instead of relying on their own coverage maps.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

ID Red Nymphs?
shawnannAugust 23, 2010
I've seen red nymphs that are assasin bugs, and red nymphs that are leaf footed somethings, not sure how to tell these red nymphs apart. Do you know what they are? Thanks in advance! I just don't want to go squishing everything if I don't know if it is good or bad. I think they are living in that cucumber with a hole in it. They are on the cucumbers.

Your images are those of the leaffooted bug nymph. They have red bodies and black legs. The wheelbug nymph has a black head and thorax, red abdomen, black legs.
Sorry, but you won't be seeing the battle of the bugs any time soon. ;-(
Here is a link that might be useful:

I'm implementing the second version of my collision detection library. This particular library should deal with axis-aligned boxes (AABBs). I'd like to start tracking fast-moving boxes on this version. I think calculating the Minkowski Difference between the two would be a good starting point for that.
When I say Minkowsky Difference I mean the geometric operation described in Collision detection for Dummies.
The catch is: The process and algorithm described there is very generic. It uses fairly advanced vector math to calculate the MD of any two polygons.
In my case I have AABBs. Given their numerical simplicity, the library so far has not needed a Vector concept - for example, I have not needed to compute a single dot product. I'd like it to stay that way if at all possible.
So my question is:
Given two AABBs by their top,left,width and height (
{t1,l1,w1,h1} and
{t2,l2,w2,h2}), how do I calculate their MD, (without getting vector math if possible)?
Just by playing with the widget on Collision detection for Dummies, I'm almost certain that the MD width will be a box of width
w1+w2 and height
h1+h2. But I have no idea about how to calculate its top or left corner.
