Course coding is a key activity in the State Board's process to gather information necessary to describe and quantify instructional effort and determine state funding eligibility. Codes are used for multiple purposes, including: federal reporting; determining the number of faculty positions funded with state funds; identifying the number of students enrolled in various programs; and other research-related functions.
Colleges Have the ability to add and revise their college's course records each quarter.
To establish the appropriate coding for courses, the following procedures must be followed:
A college develops a new course or desires to change an existing course. Information to be supplied includes:
A student may not be recorded for a course in which credit has already been granted, unless the student must repeat a course to satisfy an academic progress (grades or GPA) or skills requirement. Under no circumstance may a student be recorded more than three times (original enrollment, plus two repeats) for the same course. This rule applies to enrollment in credit-bearing or Adult Basic Education (ABE/ESL)courses, including transferred-in courses. This rule does not apply to non-credit continuing education courses. The highest grade earned of the original or repeated courses will be used to calculate the student's cumulative grade point average.
rev. 8/15/2008
Several courses possess unique characteristics that affect their classification status. These include:
I-BEST Program Type
Institutional Intent
Vocational 1/Basic Skills
Vocational 1/Dev Ed
Vocational 2/Basic Skills
Vocational 2/Dev Ed
Academic/Basic Skills
Academic/Dev Ed
Common course number designation includes a common department abbreviation followed by the "&" symbol and a common 3 digit number.
Less advanced courses have numbers lower than more advanced courses within the same department/division abbreviation.
Colleges may use a designator (i.e. Q for quantitative reasoning or W for writing across the curriculum or C for cultural competency requirement etc.) after the 3 digit common course number when that serves an individual college need and does not impact how the course is accepted as common within the CTC system.
Washington community and technical college boards of trustees and administrators, with the assistance of the faculty, have statutory authority to establish the course of study for community and technical colleges and to publish catalogs and bulletins that describe the conditions under which college programs may be utilized by students (see RCW 28B.50.140(11).
The SBCTC has a corresponding authority to set minimum standards "with respect to the content of the curriculums and other educational and training programs, and the requirements for degrees and certificates awarded by the colleges" (see RCW 28B.50.090(7)(c). To meet this responsibility, the SBCTC has established the basis for determining the credit value or credit equivalent that may be assigned to any course or instructional activity offered by a college (see RCW 28B.50.090(7)(e)).
Rev. 7/7/2010, 10/1/2002
Course credit hours, are determined by the type of instructor contact hours and the ratio of those hours to the number of weeks in a quarter. "Credit hours" are defined as the unit by which an institution measures its course work. The number of credit hours assigned to a course is defined by the number of hours per week in class and the number of hours per week in out of class preparation.
Report the total number of contact hours per week (one hour period = one contact hour) that a class normally meets, within the categories defined below. The one-hour includes a 5-10 minute break between periods. Classes scheduled in block mode may count the hours between the start and finish (Example: 8 a.m. to 12 noon = 4 hours; 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. = 1 hour).
The following titles, definitions, and credit ratios are used in calculating credit values. The length of a quarter may vary between 10 and 12 weeks. Each college must use the length of quarter closest to their average (exception for summer quarter). No additional credit equivalents may be generated by adjusting the length of a quarter. If transcript credits are used in transcripting student performance, the same credit value must be used for reporting.
Contact hours in which the predominant instructional mode is lecturing from prepared materials and/or discussion. Conduct of instruction is continually under the direction of the instructor. This mode requires approximately two additional hours of out-of-class assignments per classroom contact hour. In this mode, one credit is generated by each weekly contact hour of instruction.
The mode is direct teacher instruction. Content shall be primarily theory or applied theory, with the majority of classroom contact hours devoted to presentation of new material. Practice and mastery of that material is accomplished primarily outside the classroom or through companion laboratory/clinic classes. Instruction may be a mix of direct and indirect teacher instruction, but the majority is direct.
Ten to twelve classroom contact hours, including final examinations generate one credit hour.
Contact hours in which the predominant instructional mode is individual study in a classroom, laboratory, shop, or studio. Conduct of the instruction is continually under the direct supervision of the instructor. This mode includes learning activities in laboratories, clinics, or workplaces where students receive hands-on learning experience continually supervised by the instructor. Work is normally completed in the learning environment, but may include out-of class assignments. In this mode, one credit is generated by two weekly contact hours of instruction and approximately one additional hour of out-of-class assignments.
Contact hours are devoted primarily to practice, mastery, clarification, and application of material, and may include presentation of new theoretical material. Instruction may be a combination of direct and indirect teacher instruction, but the majority of the instruction is indirect.
Twenty to twenty-four contact hours generate one credit hour.
Contact hours in which the predominant instructional mode is autonomous study or related work activity under the intermittent supervision of the instructor. This mode includes working with or under the direction of professional practitioners. One credit is generated by three weekly contact hours of instruction.
In the case of work site educational experiences, the learning activity must be based on a written agreement with the participating training provider. A one-hour-per-week seminar or discussion group activity is required.
Thirty to thirty-six instructional hours generate one credit hour.
Contact hours in which minimal supervision is provided or required for work-related activities. This mode includes internships, and community involvement projects. One credit is generated by five weekly contact hours of instruction. In this case, work site experiences have no related seminar or discussion activity.
Fifty to sixty contact hours generate one credit hour.
Courses totally or partially supported by state funds must meet the following criteria:
In addition, some state funded courses must meet specific conditions:
Courses not eligible for state funding include:
(WAC 131-28-026.was amended by State Board action on June 21, 2012, Resolution 12-06-24)
Rev. September 2014 (State Board Resolution 14-09-59)
As part of the 2010 System Design Plan legislation (SSB 6355), applied baccalaureate degrees offered by Washington's community and technical colleges were changed from pilot to regular status. The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) approves all proposals for applied baccalaureate degrees submitted by the community and technical colleges. These programs are intended to accomplish the following:
In July 2012, SBCTC retained sole approval authority for applied baccalaureates degrees. The following describes the process for community and technical colleges seeking to acquire state approval to offer applied bachelor's degree programs. The SBCTC may make future revisions to the selection process and criteria as needed.
Step 1: Institutions notify SBCTC and higher education partners of their intent to offer an applied bachelor degree program by placing the program title and anticipated date of enrollment on the higher education Inter-institutional Committee on Academic Program Planning (ICAPP) Grid.
The grid is used to informally notify higher education partners (colleges, universities, the Washington Student Achievement Council, and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges) of a college's intent to offer a program. This informal notice allows concerns to be addressed between colleges prior to the official notice to higher education partners.
Step 2: Institutions submit a Statement of Need to SBCTC staff and a brief analysis of the College's content area strength and capacity for the applied bachelor degree.
Institutions can download the cover sheet and document entitled "Statement of Need Criteria" from the SBCTC website. Institutions must complete all elements and submit the completed forms to SBCTC staff within the specified period of time.
Step 3: SBCTC staff forward the Statement of Need to SBCTC board members and schedule a "conceptual discussion" between board members and the lead administrator of the proposed applied baccalaureate degree program.
Step 4: Institutions submit program approval application to the SBCTC. The cover sheet and "New Degree Program Proposal" document can be downloaded from the SBCTC website.
Step 5: The State Board for Community and Technical College board members officially vote on the program proposal. A college representative will participate in the Board meeting and provide oral support for the proposal and respond to Board member questions.
The State Board encourages the use of instructional modes or programs that integrate the resources of the campus and the workplace in order to provide students with supervised learning experiences in employment settings that relate to their educational and career objectives.
The State Director is authorized, in consultation with the college districts, to establish and maintain guidelines and procedures pertaining to cooperative education, clinical experience, internships, or other forms of work-based learning.

The State Board encourages the use of instructional modes or programs that integrate the resources of the campus and the workplace in order to provide students with supervised learning experiences in employment settings that relate to their educational and career objectives.
The State Director is authorized, in consultation with the college districts, to establish and maintain guidelines and procedures pertaining to cooperative education, clinical experience, internships, or other forms of work-based learning.
Guidelines Governing Work-Based Learning
Approved by WACTC Januarry 2000
Prior learning assessment methods include portfolio development; course challenge and oral examinations; standardized tests; credits earned through the
American Council of Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services (ACE Guide);
the systematic observation of skill demonstrations, including role plays and simulations; and the evaluation of case studies or other assignments.
Rev. 3/10/2005
These procedures will:
State Board staff will provide technical assistance with development of procedures.
An advisory committee must be appointed by the college administration for each professional-technical program or program cluster. The advisory committee can be formed for a single program, a group or cluster of like programs within a college, or a regional committee for a single program or cluster of like programs in a geographical region. If the program cluster or regional advisory committees are used, colleges should ensure that every professional-technical program area is adequately represented.
Regional advisory committees are helpful for the purpose of providing a coordinated educational effort among colleges and school districts.
The clustering of advisory committees is recommended to enable balanced representation while minimizing the burden of excessive meetings.
A minimum of two advisory committee meetings must be held during each calendar year.
A quorum should be established for each committee.
Minutes for these meetings must be on file for the previous three years.
Advisory committees must be composed of equal numbers of employees and employers representing local business, labor and industry.
When the occupation being taught is apprenticeable and a local Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) is active in the geographical area, at least one labor and one management member of the JATC must be invited to be a part of the respective advisory committee. The college is responsible to contact the chairperson or secretary of the JATC and request representation for the specific advisory committee.
Advisory committee members must be formally appointed by the college – in writing for a specific term limit (i.e., one, two, or three years). The college may re-appoint members for additional terms when appropriate.
The recommended minimum committee size is five.
The appointment process should strive to ensure representation of gender and cultural diversity.
Colleges must maintain an inventory including, at a minimum, all information requested on form SBCTC PA‑ADV of the membership of each advisory committee. This inventory should be updated after each meeting.
Members not attending at least 50 percent of the scheduled meetings should be replaced in order to maintain a viable committee.
Advisory committee members need to be instructed as to their roles, responsibilities, and duties prior to serving as voting members. That instruction should also include all pertinent sections of the Washington Ethics Law as it pertains to their involvement with the college. The committee should be clear on how the committee will carry out its functions over the course of the year, and a plan of work identified.
Review labor market information to ensure the occupational program area is in demand and that vacancies exist for future employment.
Advise the college as to the industry standard or certification required by the occupational area, and/or assist in the development of skill standards where appropriate.
Review the content of the professional-technical program and respective courses. Advise the college of changing market conditions, technologies, and employment needs.
Advise as to the kinds and balance of theory, technical skill development, production work, and/or realistic enterprise tasks to be accomplished by the students, in order to ensure the most effective and efficient use of instruction time.
Review instructional materials and recommend those that are most appropriate to the instructional program; i.e., instructional materials, computer software, technical materials, and trade publications.
Assist the college in conducting special events that benefit both the student and the college; i.e. manufacturing, product seminars, and college open house.
Advise the college as to the adequacy of the physical facilities and conditions of equipment, and prepare recommendations for effecting needed change.
Assist the college in obtaining instructional equipment.
Review annual budgetary requests for equipment and supplies, make recommendations, and assist in the development of bid or purchase specifications when appropriate.
Advise in development of plans for new construction or remodeling of existing facilities.
Advise the college in the development of qualifications for the hiring of instructors and serve on interview panels when appropriate.
Advise in the development of evaluation instruments and procedures that may assist in determining the effectiveness of the instructional program, conduct outcomes assessments, and recommend appropriate changes.
Recommend procedures for developing, implementing, and evaluating work-based learning experience programs.
Recommend instructional practices that will promote the development of a safe instructional environment, and that will instill safe work attitudes and habits in students.
Recommend strategies that ensure that instructor(s) maintain instructional, industry, and state-of-the-art proficiency.
Recommend standards and minimum academic qualifications for student enrollment into programs.
Advise administration regarding program continuation and/or modification as determined by a review of outcomes.
Review national and state directives and initiatives and their impact on local programs, and make recommendations on how to incorporate the required changes.
Help college secure qualified substitute instructors.
Recommend ways to assist students in the landing of internships and/or eventual employment.
Assist in the development of portable, transferable competencies, skills, and abilities expected of successful employees.
If a job account or realistic enterprise is to be conducted by or in a professional-technical program, a procedural plan must be on file and should be jointly approved by the college and the advisory committee. The plan should describe, as a minimum, hours of operation, the goods and services that will be produced or sold, what the charges, fees, and taxes will be for each, who is eligible for services, and on what time basis.
The implementation of state and federal education reform initiatives over the past decade has advanced the development of joint high school-college programs including Tech Prep, Running Start and College in the High School. These programs have among their goals the articulation of secondary and post-secondary education programs, increasing the availability of college-level courses and programs to secondary students, and recognizing the achievements of secondary school students who have successfully completed college-equivalent courses and programs. The benefits of these articulation agreements for students, parents, high schools and colleges have been widely recognized.
Tech Prep education was among the first of federal programs to promote the use of competencies for instructional programs and secondary-postsecondary articulations. The state's Tech Prep consortia developed competency-based articulation agreements between high schools and colleges that help students transition from high school into post-secondary professional-technical programs. Articulations are used by colleges to award credit to students who complete college-equivalent courses and programs while still in high school. Articulation agreements between the individual college and school define the criteria for equivalency and the granting of credit. RCW 28B.50.530 authorizes community and technical college boards of trustees to establish such agreements in cooperation with local high school district boards.1
Maximizing the benefits of articulations for students requires a reliable, systematic approach for granting and tracking college credits for equivalent high school courses. The Direct Transcription model provides a method for achieving statewide articulation by ensuring the quality and transferability of articulated credits from high schools to community and technical colleges and between two-year colleges statewide.
The following policy guidelines (modeled after those developed for the College in a High School program, endorsed by the Instruction Commission) provide a policy framework and operational structure for colleges and high schools to facilitate the implementation of a statewide articulation model through Direct Transcription. The guidelines consider requirements for transferability of course credits to the public community and technical colleges of the state and the requirements of the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.
Amendment: Tech Prep courses shall not be designated through the use of a unique identifier on individual student transcripts.
These guidelines and amendment were endorsed by:
Workforce Education Council (formerly Vocational Technical Council), May 18, 2000
Instruction Commission, May 19, 2000
Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges (Education Committee),
May 24, 2000
RCW 28B.50.530: "Agreements for use of services or facilities between district boards of trustees and schools boards. The district boards of trustees and the common school boards are hereby authorized to enter into agreements for the use by either of the other's services, facilities or equipment and for the presentation of courses of either for students of the other where such agreements are deemed to be in the interests of the education of the students involved." return to text
WAC 131-16-095 (2) "Defining reciprocity" states that secondary vocational certification will be accepted by the community colleges. Specifically, "It is also recognized that a vocational teaching or counselor certificate issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction will be recognized by the community and technical colleges as fulfilling the minimum requirements for the specified subjects contained in the certification." return to text
College in the High School (CHS) programs provide college level academic courses in high schools to serve qualified high school students.
CHS programs are established through a contract between a high school and a college. The high school and college together define the
funding to support student enrollment and criteria for student eligibility. Local contracts shall clarify if participants in CHS classes are only those students seeking to earn college credits or if the classes can be comprised of both (1) students who are not seeking college credit and (2) those who are. In order for coursework to be recorded for academic credit, programs must adhere to the following guidelines.
High school students enrolled in CHS are officially enrolled in the college and must meet college specific course requirements and pre-requisites.
For students enrolled in CHS, regular college policies and regulations regarding student performance and classroom behavior shall apply. Normally, college student behavior policies will apply to all CHS classroom activities. High school policies will apply for activities outside the CHS classroom.
CHS courses must be taught by faculty meeting appointment criteria established by the appropriate college department. Their titles will vary according to institution norms.
The college will provide CHS instructors with training and orientation that include course curriculum, assessment criteria, course philosophy, and CHS administrative requirements.
Faculty will be evaluated according to regular college faculty evaluation procedures, as established at the respective offering college and may include site visits and on-going interactions that address course content, course delivery, assessment, evaluation and professional development in the field of study.
College courses administered through CHS are listed in the college catalogue of courses and approved through the regular course approval process of the respective college. These courses have the same departmental designation, number, title, and credits and adhere to the same course description. Additional designation codes, such as a location code, may be added.
For students seeking college credit, the course must use the same grading and transcript policies that apply to courses being offered in the college regular curriculum.
Student outcomes in CHS courses will be assessed by the same standards used for the course when offered on the college campus.
Institutions offering CHS will conduct studies of student outcomes to compare students completing courses at the high school with those completing the same courses in college settings.
The K-12 school district shall be responsible for assuring compliance with federal and state laws concerning reasonable accommodations for CHS students with disabilities and the development of individualized educational programs (IEPs).
Library and other learning support services will meet college standards. Local agreements will specify which institution is responsible for providing these services.
The high school and college will develop a joint statement within the contract to address student conduct issues and will include an appeal process to ensure due process for students.
The college offering the course must be regionally accredited.
WACTC approved Rev. 9/29/2006
These guidelines are intended to provide clarification on the rights and responsibilities of colleges in responding to requests for contract training by business and industry and in the marketing of contract training services.
The community and technical college system has the resources, expertise, and desire to provide fast, flexible, and immediate responses to businesses, industry associations, state and local agencies, and other establishments seeking education and training services. These guidelines are established with recognition that:
Marketing contract training or educational services refers to conducting direct solicitation which includes but is not limited to cold calls, direct mailings, direct e-mails, and face-to-face solicitation. Marketing activities that are contracted to outside vendors by a college are to be accountable to these guidelines.
Out of District relates directly to the location of the training site. A college is, therefore, working out of district if they are providing training on a site that is outside of their geographic district region. In the case where a company wishing to conduct training at a site located within the college district boundaries has its headquarters or other centralized operations outside the district, it is permissible for the college to coordinate training with the company's headquarters. Should the same business then request additional contract training services from the college that are to take place outside the college's district, the college has first right of refusal to fulfill the training request.
Intermediaries are organizations and entities that interact between colleges (as training providers) and business customers. They act as formal or informal brokers in the training marketplace and may also act as formal or informal training partners in contract training activities.
Centers of Excellence serve as statewide leaders in developing industry-driven education and training and are housed at individual community or technical colleges. Centers of Excellence act as clearing houses of information and resources and provide system coordination, coaching and mentoring to assist in building seamless educational and work-related systems.
Intermediaries that engage in education or training brokering services like
Impact Washington, Association of Washington Businesses, economic development councils, workforce development councils and chambers of commerce may request training from an out-of-district college on behalf of clients. When an out-of-district request is made by an intermediary of this type, it is agreed that the out-of-district college may respond the same as it would if the business itself were requesting the training (as provided in section (B) above).
State Board approved authorization on 9/22/1989; revised 3/11/1992
The following policy sets forth the method by which a community college district may contract to conduct educational courses or programs serving foreign nationals in a foreign country.

Make-up & lip primers
Has anyone tried them? I heard they smooth out skin texture so that foundation & make-up glides more smoothly? Is this another hoax or does it really work?
this is the only one of your questions that didn't send me in to a laughing fit...
it kind of depends on your skin texture and temperment.
I don't need a lip primer, myself. never had a problem with bleeding or feathering, and honestly, I PREFER stuff that wear off over the course of the day- the stains and inks and 'long wear' stuff tends to look unnatural to me.
don't need a foundation primer, either- I don't wear foundation, so it's a moot issue.
I DO, however, own and use an eyeshadow primer, and a fancy 'concealer' brush to apply it with.
it does indeed work like a charm under powders and creams. keeps eyeliner from migratine, powders from slipping into the crease of your eyelid- I don't use it often, only when faced with photographers (formal parties, interviews) or adverse conditions (sometimes, even the old hippy needs to dress up in summertime ;)
a tube (I get mine from Beauticontrol, through a dealer, but they're all mostly the same general formula, think covergirl makes a fine one) lasts me longer than you're supposed to keep makeup, partly because I use the brush to apply it (also keeps it from getting icky)

sugar water Thanks to great responses in this forum, I tobeeless
vundril(8 a Dallas TX)March 18, 2005
Thanks to great responses in this forum, I took suggestion from Konrad to put out sugar water close to hive at mix of 1:1 by volume. It is in dish with popsicle stick floats. I even placed yellow flower with idea color might attract the bees. (???) But after 4 or 5 days I have not seen any takers. Any thoughts?
Tarheit's right. They might be finding another source right now. I've been feeding some of my hives to get em started up, but I put the jar with feeder at the entrance at night to discourage robbing. Sometimes they take the sugar water quicker than other times. I'm about through with feeding I think.

DEFINITION of 'Nonlinear Regression'
A form of regression analysis in which data is fit to a model expressed as a mathematical function. Simple linear regression relates two variables (X and Y) with a straight line (y = mx + b), while nonlinear regression must generate a line (typically a curve) as if every value of Y was a random variable. The goal of the model is to make the sum of the squares as small as possible. Nonlinear regression uses logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and exponential functions, among other fitting methods.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Nonlinear Regression'
Nonlinear regression modeling is similar to linear regression modeling in that both seek to graphically track a particular response from a set of variables. Nonlinear models are more complicated than linear models to develop because the function is created through a series of approximations (iterations) that may stem from trial-and-error. Mathematicians use several established methods, such as the Gauss-Newton method and the Levenberg-Marquardt method.

Ever since we started developing Elvis DAM, we knew that a great performance needed to be one of our strong points. Especially since a lack of search performance in most legacy DAM systems was one of the most frequently heard complaints when we were discussing our original ideas for Elvis with customers.
In the last 4 years, we increased the Elvis performance with every major release. But the asset repositories of our customers did increase as well.. So we recently decided to test Elvis DAM to see how it performs with large numbers of users and large repositories.
In my previous blog I promised to discuss a scripting sample. Well, here it is.
A common problem in production systems is the following: there are many template layouts, all having the same style definitions. Once you need to update a style definition, you need to make the change in every single template layout, which is a lot of work.
(BTW Instead of creating many different template layouts having the same styles, you could also create a single template layout with multiple masters in it. This prevents the duplication of style definitions and you would not have the problem above).
The manual method of updating all templates would be:
- designate one of the template documents as the master in which you have made the required style changes
- query all template documents
- open the first template document
- update the style definitions by importing all (text) styles from the designated master document
- save and close the template document
- repeat this for all other templates

Substak's Beatless comes at a perfect time seasonally, with the current weather here consisting of cold days, showers and leafless trees. Beatless is an exercise in depth and dimension, showcasing Substak's talents for crafting alien sonics and ominous atmospherics. While Beatless is devoid of a kick drum, it is not entirely arrhythmic. There are occasional bits of hi hat, or the noticeable angles of a looped sequence, or even an oscillating pattern that pulses in time.

Wall Covering Creeping Fig Questions
I am considering covering up an ugly old cinder block walls that surround my back yard. The ground that butts up against the wall is concrete. Now I was told I can drill holes in the concrete and stick the plants in the holes and let them "creep" up the walls.
My questions are: Will this work? And how big should the holes be and how far apart should I place the plants for them to be able to cover a 6 foot tall wall? I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
I would recommend planting a scarlet runner bean vine...they grow like crazy and love to cover things. :) Plus, butterflies love the flowers and I believe that the beans are edible. I would get 2 or 3 big pots and plant the vines in there. My only concern with drilling holes in concrete and sticking the plants in there is that there is no possibility for the roots to grow and spread and there would be no drainage...
I just want to add a note of caution if you decide to go with the creeping fig - this plant is a monster! One year, I planted 3 vines along a 5' high by 60' wide wall, in about 2 seasons, they managed to cover my entire wall, turned the corner to the adjacent wall, AND they jumped over to completely cover my neighbor side of the wall, too. Nothing can beat the look of a creeping fig covered wall, but unless you plan to trim it regularly, it can get pretty messy. It took us (and the neighbor) days to take out the middle vine. I understand a single creeping fig vine can cover an entire castle. No wonder the description says that its growth is "indefinitely"
I planted creeping fig on my cinderblock walls -- it was strange as it started to grow but never would grab onto the wall and would fall down -- then, about 3 years in, it started grabbing and has covered about 60% of my original plan. It is growing vigorously now but not kudzu-like -- I'm in L.A. so it gets limited water. If I was in someplace where it rains alot, I can only imagine how fast they could grow.
Question -- does this plant form from cuttings easily? I'd like to plant it in another area and thought I'd give it a shot . . .
I'm in LA as well and my creeping fig won't attach either. Does anyone have any advice on coercing it to attach itself and/or how to realistically keep it up until it does grab hold on it's own. We have a mesh net up now but it's hard to keep it close enough to the wall to really work and it completely prohibits edging. Help! Thanks!
I also live in L.A. and ourS is also growing slowly.
You need to water the wall that you'd like them to attach to. Preferably in the evening.
We have two walls and the one that has the least sun exposure is the one that we've succeeded with.
I live in the San Joaquin Valley just North of LA in California. My father and I have been messing around with Creeping Fig Vines for about 8yrs. Here are a few FAQs that might help people out. Here in California things like block walls get VERY hot this doesn't entice the vine to cling, also the lye in the masonry repels the roots/vine. So that might be why some have had successes with constantly watering their block walls down, keeping it cool and washing that chalky white layer of lye away. We have found that the best way to promote growth on a block wall is to use cement anchors and attach 2x4's to the wall then bolt wire mesh or fencing to the 2x4's. This gives the plant something to hang on and extends the life of the wall (somewhat). For the person who asks about drilling holes in her cement; my father did just that about 5 yrs ago in almost the exact type of situation. As long as you use a coring machine and drill about 6" to 10" (bigger = better) diameter holes that go all the way through the cement to the soil you should be fine. Check first to make sure there arenÂt any GAS LINES, or any other lines where you plan to do this. As for wooden fencing, that's different. I have it on my wooden fence and I love it. My fence is also supported by steel pipes not wooden 4x4's. The vine is 'eating' the fence and promoting deterioration. So my wooden fence shouldn't last more than 5-6 yrs before a good wind takes it down. I accept this and plan on replacing it anyway with a vynle fence. If you want to keep your wooden fencing as long as possible don't plant vines on it. Hope this was helpful.
I have a question: I planted creeping fig on block wall fence about 7 yrs. ago and it grew like Topsy; now this summer it just died! Will it come back or should I chop the dead stuff down and start all over? I live in Tucson and baby, it's hot this summer! But newer creeping vines on another part of the wall are doing great and they all get the same amount of water from a drip.
Question; I have an old rusty metal fence (wire is about spagetti thickness), with metal wire approx. 2" x 2" on center. If I plant creeping fig and intertwine the existing vines through the fence, should the vines be expected to grab hold, grow, and eventually cover the fence?

Flood safety is taking precedence over salmon runs in Washington state, where workers are cutting down trees that may weaken levees while providing needed shade to the fish. The Army Corps of Engineers says shade trees planted along the levees to protect the endangered Puget Sound chinook salmon increase the chance of flooding, and county officials in Washington have been told they could lose millions of dollars in federal repair funds if the trees are not removed. Though engineers in King County believe that "vegetation on river banks is desirable" for flood control, officials have sent in the chainsaws rather than lose out on $17 million in federal assistance.

Helpoort, or Hell's Gate, is the oldest city gate in the country. It got its name due to the fact that prisoners were kept in its tower. Construction of the gate, commissioned by Henry I, began in 1229; it is a part of the First City Walls and served as the southeastern entrance to the city. When the Second City Walls were constructed in the 15th century, the gate was no longer needed as an entrance to the city. Over the years, it served as a residence, storage space and workshop. Today the gate houses a museum dedicated to the history of Maastricht's fortifications.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Named after a small island off the west coast of Scotland, Alisa Craig Onion is a cross between Danver's Yellow and Cranston's Excelsior. This globe-shaped heirloom variety averages 2 lbs and is an excellent keeper. (100 days from transplant)
Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Start indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date of spring. Keep trays at room temperature and do not allow to dry out. Transplant outside after the last frost, spacing 4-6 inches apart in all directions. Plants are shallow rooted and require fertile well-drained soil and constant surface moisture to thrive.
Allow tops to fall over naturally, then pull bulbs and let dry for two weeks. Watering prior to harvest makes pulling easier. After curing, store in a cool, dry location such as a root cellar.

Texas Politics
All Texas politics all the time from the San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle
Chairman: The Trans-Texas Corridor Isn't Back
The (two) e-mails poured into our various inboxes this afternoon from different groups — all (both) proclaiming, in one form or another that "the Trans-Texas Corridor is back from the dead."
One of those e-mails specifically cited House Bill 3789, which was introduced by House Transportation Committee chairman Larry Phillips, R-Sherman. Phillips' bill would allow for the resumption of public/private partnerships to help finance the construction of transportation infrastructure such as roads and freeways.[Read More]
House Committee Tackles Gambling Legislation

Chopping block: Eliminate state funding for standardized testing
One reader's suggestion: Have the Legislature quit paying for 11th graders to take the SAT or ACT. Quit paying for all 10th graders to taken the PSAT or PLAN. For those who can't afford to take these tests, the College Board and ACT provide feed waivers. Delay the STAAR tests for 2 years. Continue the […] [Read More]

Democratic lawmaker to Speaker Straus: Analyze this

Panel suggests using highway-fund dollars to help pay for public safety
About $450 million in funding would be restored to a spare budget proposal for public safety agencies, including prisons and state law enforcement, under a recommendation by a Senate Finance subcommittee.

State Sen.

Brown and Wild Rice Salad with Dried Cranberries
Good old rice salad is an absolute must at a buffet party. This one, made with wild rice, looks very pretty with the jewelled colours of the dried cranberries and nuts. I have tried to make this salad by cooking the two sorts of rice together, but I've found I can't get the timing right, as the wild rice takes a little longer, so you do need to cook them separately.
Serves 12 as part of the buffet
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|You will also need one small and one large heavy-based frying pan, both with tight-fitting lids.
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book Three and Delia's Complete Christmas Magazine 2004
Begin by heating half the groundnut oil in the smaller frying pan, then add the wild rice and toss it around to coat the grains. Now pour over 8 fl oz (225 ml) of boiling water and add a little salt. Give it one stir, put the lid on and cook over a gentle heat for 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, repeat the process with the brown rice, this time adding 16 fl oz (450 ml) of boiling water – it will take 40-45 minutes for the water to be absorbed and the rice to become tender.
While the rice is cooking, you can make the dressing. Pound the garlic and salt to a creamy paste with a pestle and mortar. Next, work in the mustard powder, then switch to a small whisk and add the vinegar and olive oil. Season with plenty of freshly milled black pepper.
Now you'll need to toast the walnuts, so spread them out on a baking tray and place them in the oven for 8 minutes, putting a timer on so you don't forget them.
Meanwhile, place the tomatoes in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water on to them. After exactly a minute, remove them from the water and slip off their skins (protecting your hands with a cloth if the tomatoes are hot), then halve them, squeeze out the seeds and chop them into small pieces. Watch how to... here.
When both amounts of rice are cooked, mix them together in a serving bowl and add 3-4 tablespoons of the dressing. Toss the rice around in the dressing and then leave it to cool.
When it's cool, mix in the cucumber, tomatoes, diced pepper, apple, cranberries, two-thirds of the spring onions and two-thirds of the walnuts.
Drizzle with the remaining dressing and mix again so that everything is thoroughly combined and coated in dressing.
Finally, just scatter the remaining spring onions and walnuts over the surface of the salad.
