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).
Short version: yes, how else are you going to practically enforce that provision?
The long version touches on due process, and how summary dismissals aren't enough of a disincentive, but I think if you tried to imagine the full narrative yourself, you'd see the same problems.
assuming they ever pay. I've been involved in a few court ordered settlements before and have never seen a penny. In all cases the offender simply made it more expensive to get the money than the money was worth. It's a very easy thing to do. It's unfortunately Judges aren't more sympathetic in these sorts of cases.
Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.

So mad right now! Probably at rabbits
I've been growing tomatoes in my veg garden for about 7 years now. THe garden is fenced and there is "rabbit fence" that runs along the perimeter as well.
I just got a phone call that 1/3 of my newly planted grown from seed tomatoes (each a different kind) was nipped off at soil level with the top of the tomato just laying there on the ground. Whatever did it, decimated my paste tomato bed.
I've never had this happen before. To peas or beans, yes, but never to tomatoes. My friend who looks after the gardens says he is sure it must be baby rabbits because he has never seen so many rabbits around as there are this year. Would rabbits chew off an entire bed of 16 plants and go do the same chomping here and there in other tomato beds?
I have never seen any cutworms in my garden...
Will a deeply planted tomato regenerate itself from the stem or am I sunk?
Is it too late to start tomatoes from seed again (Frost/freeze in early to mod October).
Sigh. I can't believe this. I gave away all my extras at the swap.
was nipped off at soil level with the top of the tomato just laying there on the ground.
I'd put my money on cutworms instead.
Will they come back? Maybe, some of them. It all depends on how strong the root ball is. But it will be slow. Rather than start new seeds I'd root cuttings off the remaining plants. That would put you at least 6 weeks ahead of new seeds.
It certainly sounds like cutworms. But either an army of them or your bunch are super-efficient.
But not seeing them isn't an argument against cutworms. I've never seen any lurking near the scene of a recent crime.
Yes, you can plant the stems. But plant them with some protection from cutworms.
Some people cut a soda straw into short lengths, slit each piece lengthwise, then slip a piece around each young stem. I use toilet paper rolls, cut in half, those halves slit lengthwise, then wrapped around the stem. Someone (I think it was Carolyn Male) places a twig next to the tomato stem; apparently cutworms expect a simple round stem, and when they circle the stem and bump into an obstacle, they give up in confusion.
Does the rabbit fence extend underground? If not, they can and will dig under the wire.

Enamel pots
Thought I'd share my collection of enamel pots. Got the red one( the rooster is standing on it for now) this week-end when walking in the woods at deer camp. Gotta get it planted. The big pot with BREAD stamped on it I quickly grabbed at a GS a couple of weeks ago for $1.00. The crock I found sitting out for garbage pick-up a couple years ago!
Wish I could find more goodies like that!
I love the enamel pots, especially the one with Bread printed on it. I'd have given $10 for that one at a garage sale. The red one is unusaul, seldom see a solid red like that. Can't believe anyone would dispose of that crock. Wonder if it was a butter churn at one time and the top was broken?
Your display looks great.
I am such a sucker for those pots, I can't get enough of them. Last year I spied one on the curb and forced my hubby out to pick it up. (He wanted to die) When he got out he asked what I wanted to do with all the"crap" inside. It was filled with little enamel bowls, cups and saucers. I was in heaven. He just rolled his eyes and slunk back into the car. I have 1 of the little bowls in my bathroom with a candle. That alone was worth the stop. Some men just don't understand how to have fun.
Never heard it called curb shopping before but trust me....I'm gonna add that phrase to my vocabulary and the first one I'm gonna introduce it to is my DH!!!
Sunny....yes I think you are right...my mom used to do crock pickles and saurkraut in crocks about that size.
Thanks for all the nice comments everyone

'Veronica Mars' cast from the TV show. "Veronica Mars" fans who've been longing for a movie are taking up creator Rob Thomas' offer to make it happen. Thomas, who created the series that centered on a smart, witty teen detective named Veronica Mars, has launched a Kickstarter fund to finance a film. The show starred Kristin Bell.

Katie Lobosco
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Last year, "Veronica Mars" shattered crowdfunding records, and this weekend we'll find out if that translates to box office success.
A Kickstarter campaign last spring raised $5.7 million to bring the cult TV hit to the big screen. With backing from 91,585 fans, the film received more contributions than any other project in the crowdfunding platform's history.
The initial goal was $2 million, which would allow creator Rob Thomas to turn the TV series into a low-budget movie. Fans hit that mark in less than 12 hours, donating anything from $1 (which earned "eternal gratitude" from the makers) to $10,000 (which got one lucky backer a speaking role in the movie). It is currently the third highest-funded Kickstarter project ever.
The series featured Kristen Bell as a teenage detective and ran from 2004 to 2007.
Thomas has talked of making a "Veronica Mars" movie since the show went off the air but hit resistance from Warner Brothers, which owned the rights and wasn't convinced there was enough interest in a film, according to the project's Kickstarter page.
After raising the funds, Thomas shot the film last summer, bringing back every major character from the show -- and most of the minor ones as well.
While Warner Brothers is distributing and marketing the film, it was unclear if they helped with additional funding. Warner Brothers, which is owned by the CNNMoney parent company Time Warner, declined to comment regarding the film's financing.
The film, which opens Friday, is being shown at 260 AMC theaters around the country, according to AMC spokesman Ryan Noonan, although he would not discuss presale numbers.
The film will also be available for digital download on Friday for $19.99. (Fans who donated $35 or more will be able to download it for free.)
"It's pretty much unheard of," Thomas wrote in a note to Kickstarter backers. "And since everything about this movie is unprecedented, I'm pleased that our distribution plans are too."
Since the Veronica Mars campaign, a number of other celebrity filmmakers have used the site to raise money for their own movie productions.
Spike Lee raised $1.4 million for an upcoming thriller, and Zach Braff raised $3.1 million to make his film "Wish I Was Here."
"After I saw the incredible way 'Veronica Mars' fans rallied around Kristen Bell and ... Rob Thomas, I couldn't help but think ... maybe there is a new way to finance smaller, personal films that didn't involve signing away all your artistic control," Braff wrote on his Kickstarter page.
But just because a movie raises money doesn't mean it will actually make money. The jury is still out on whether Veronica's 91,000-plus fans will translate to success at the box office.

I recently changed most of my houseplants to hydroton. I just received 4 Jasmines. I'm curious if anyone has them in hydroton pellets? One is in full bloom so I'd want to wait till it quits blooming for sure! The one blooming is Madagascar. Also have a variegated, Night Blooming & Orange Jasmine. The orange is a seedling about 6 inches tall. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Lavonn, I know you've been waiting for a long time for someone to answer, and I would have answered much earlier - the only problem is that, even though I grow everything in hydroculture for years, I've never grown Jasmines. I've converted well over 100 different plants successfully to the system, but not one Jasmine - yet. I do believe they will do fine. But they may react like Poinsettias, Azaleas, Hibiscus, Gardenias, etc. These types of plants drop all their leaves when converted, and start all over with new growth. Now I can't sweat that your Jasmine will do that, but it's possible it's that type of plant. Are these plants expensive? Are they small? I'd suggest converting one for now to see what type of reaction you'll get. I'm sure it'll do fine; I've never lost any plant while converting. But one plant to start with seems like a better move. And yes, I would definitely wait till the plant is finished blooming.
Naturelover, Thanks for your input! The plants aren't real expensive, but I couldn't find them nearby & had to order. I probably will just try one. One of them has 2 plants in the pot. That would be a good comparison...just converting one! The only plant I've had a problem with is a Prayer Plant. It's the one with red veins. It's looking pretty bad, lots of leaves have dried up. Everyone else seems HAPPY!
The prayer plant is probably struggling because of dehydration. The Marantas don't handle lack of moisture very well. To help the plant during this transition, provide more humidity either by placing it on a pebble tray, by wrapping a plastic bag around it or by helping it to root faster directly. One way to do that is by placing the stems directly in water until water roots form and then potting it up in the hydroculture setup. That's how I converted my prayer plant since the stems root easily in water. Change the water every week to supply an adequate amount of oxygen and your plant will come along nicely. The prayer plant is a wonderful candidate for hydroculture but it does appreciate a little extra TLC during the transition.
blondetazz0924, you'd have to check at a local hydroponics shop (if there are any 'reasonably' close to you). If there aren't any, you'll have to order the hydroton clay pellets from an online garden/plant store. If you google hydroton, you'll find many links. You can also ask at a local garden/nursery/greenhouse is they can make a special order for you.
hi ken,
i use Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 for my (mostly) aglaonemas in hydroculture. it is a complete fertilizer and would be appropriate for most standard houseplants. i buy it locally at a local nursery, but it's available on amazon and other sites if you can't locate any.
there are some other folks who grow in hydroton on this board, so maybe they'll chime in as well.
in the short run, i think that any standard plant food would work. however, after months or years, your plants might develop nutrient deficiencies because of a lack of trace elements.
good luck,
ps since it sounds like you're new to this method.... be sure to flush your plants and media with plain water from time to time (at least quarterly) to prevent salt from accumulating.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dyna Gro
Hi Nancy, thanks for the good info, I actually have been reading good things about foliage pro, i have seen it mentioned in other post,s. I think i will try it.Are your plants constantly in the fertilizer water, or do you remove to air out.I am confused by this,mine is a small set-up, so there is just room for one plant at a time in the water.I just rotate them daily so they each get wet and get there nutrients.I know each species varies,some may need there roots constantly wet.I basically am experimenting, with what i think is not too bad results.Thanks
I wonder if there's a hydroponic forum on GW???
Actually, I'm glad this subject came up, and Lavonne, hope you don't mind me asking a few questions.
My dh's co-worker wants to grow, I'd guess you call it semi-hydroponic, vegatables.
He's starting this project today.
His plan is to grow veggies in water and soil. I'm not sure which soil he plans on using. He mentioned balls, lol..Are the balls hydroton? If so, he said he'd prefer using them, but they're Expensive!
He also wants to include perlite or vermiculite. Even mentioned pebbles. If possible to have pebbles shipped to his house..
He's converting his shed to a green house, 'shed is next to his house'...he plans on placing a gas line from his house to the shed/green house to heat during winter.
He'll be planting in aquariums..adding fish for fertilizer.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Or if you know of a forum to ask questions, please let me know.
Thanks, Toni
If there is a forum, can someone please direct me.

Linda, I apologize. I did not mean to offend anyone. I just do not have a lot to trade at the moment. I was also unaware that Fuyu is mainly grafted, so I removed that from my list. I'll buy one sometime soon. I am new here so I'm still reading through the stickies as well as past posts to learn as much as I can.
LtlWilli, I can get blackberry cuttings from some blackberry brambles we harvested from last year if you'd be interested. They do have thorns though.

Shellfish Import Ban
7:50 am
Fri March 14, 2014
Chinese and U.S. Officials To Discuss China's Shellfish Import Ban
China banned shellfish imports from most of the West Coast in December over concerns about contamination.
The move has cost the shellfish industry in Washington hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But there are signs of a thaw in the icy trade relations.
Chinese officials have agreed to meet with U.S. officials to discuss China's shellfish import ban.
On March 21st representatives from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be in Beijing.
They'll be discussing China's remaining concerns about shellfish imports from the U.S. West Coast.
China instituted the ban when officials found high levels of arsenic and a naturally occurring biotoxin in two samples of geoduck.
The shellfish with high levels of biotoxin came from Ketchikan, Alaska.
The shellfish contaminated with arsenic were harvested near the site of the Tacoma Copper Smelter in southern Puget Sound.
The smelter was in operation for 100 years and shellfish beds nearby were closed until 2007.
The state Department of Health did some follow up testing on geoduck from the area and says the shellfish are safe to eat.

If you learn to write songs that get people going crazy, you may be able to offer a lawyer or a manager a job.
Remember that everyone in the food chain works for you. Your ability to offer them a job rests on the ability of your songs to generate enough cash to pay them for the work done.

Minister's Moment: To Be Made Whole
To Be Made Whole
Mark 1:40-45
When I lived in upstate New York, there was a local amateur theatre group that staged Jesus Christ, Superstar every year during Lent. The production attracted people of all ages to the casting call, and the producer/director tried to include as many as he could (good way to build an audience).
One young girl who tried out was a member of the middle school chorus I directed. She was cast, but only in the "y'all come" scenes. During the rehearsal period she came to me very excited because she had been given a larger role. She was going to be a leper. Knowing what we do about leprosy, this might seem strange to us, but you have to understand young people and the theatre. She had made it to the big time. She had arrived.

Above Photo by Neal Ranauro • Click Photos to Enlarge
So something interesting happened to me this morning. I was sorting through some photos and came across this one I've been ignoring. It was really crazy because I had this labeled as 13th ave crossing, but when I took a good look at it, it didn't make any sense at all! The water tower is on the wrong side of the photo, and is facing the wrong way. In fact… after some careful examination I came upon a new Manville mystery. The 8th Ave railroad crossing.
The old water tower you see in the photo there was formerly located on the north side between 9th and 10th aves, which would seem to put this crossing on South 8th. This was all pretty crazy to me, since I was completely unaware that this existed so I popped open a google maps street view to investigate…
That is a shot of the end of South 8th next to the tracks looking from South Street (behind the VFW) Sure as hell looks like there used to be a crossing there huh?
UPDATE: According to some Manville folk testimony this crossing did exist on 8th Ave, and I think we've narrowed down the time period of that top photo to be sometime in the early 1930's. While this is still speculation at this point, it's a pretty good educated guess. I will update this post as more information comes at me.

Much of the Seattle Mariners' success in their attempted climb back to .500 can be credited to the rotation. The starting pitchers have gone 17-6 with a 2.59 ERA and 23 quality starts in the last 32 games. Felix Hernandez has won his last eight starts, including throwing the franchise's first perfect game. When Jason Vargas starts, the Mariners have won seven of the last eight times out, and the lefty has a 1.98 ERA in that stretch. Blake Beavan has gone 5-1 and has lowered his ERA by a full point since returning from the minor leagues. Hisashi Iwakuma, the former long man in the bullpen, has gone 3-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts. However, it would be a mistake to overlook the relievers and the role they have had in the team's recent success, which has seen Seattle go an American League-best 25-13 since the All-Star break. The bullpen hasn't allowed a run in the last 14 2/3 innings since Aug. 18. Over a longer stretch, the relief corps has a 1.46 ERA (four earned r...

I have a MD license and was convicted of DUI reduced to reckless driving in VA. Would my PO ever call me to urine test me?
I was convicted of DUI reduced to reckless driving in Fairfax, VA, and I am a resident of MD.

Does completing ASAP mean there won't be random testing?

Arts and Crafts Desk with Return
Mission style desk and return pictured in cherry, curly maple and ebony. Great for the executive or home office where lots of desk space and storage are needed. Some other pieces that commonly go together with the desk are a file credenza, bookcase , or small round work table.

Cherry trees are found throughout the US and Canada. The wood varies from a yellowish pink when first cut to a deep rich reddish brown, often getting darker and more rich as it ages. Its smooth texture and working properties make it a favorite wood among furniture makers.
Ebony is a heavy wood generally jet black in color with variable gray streaks. It is durable, works nicely and its rich color and it is often used in musical instruments.
|Figured Maple
Figure or curl is a natural occurrence and can be found in a variety of woods. The surface of the wood shows a linear, wavy pattern that is particularly striking when finished. In some forms it is a hereditary wave pattern in the wood fibers, in others it is an effect of wood fibers being compressed by a change in the direction of growth, such as at a fork forming a new trunk or limb. Figured wood has long been used in musical instrument bodies.

Mac's Just Jeff
So clear this up for me. Mac's just Jeff is NOT a trailer right? I swear this plant seemingly over night has gotten so many suckers on it it looks more like a trailer. Can anyone provide me with a little more info on this plant?
Lyndon Lyon's description: Semidouble, coral-red pansy, with variable, darker fantasy. Miniature foliage has mosaic variegation that is medium green, white and variable pink. Plain and scalloped.
Further research also produced a picture of someone growing it as a trailer in Russia.
Browsing through the pictures though has made me come to another question. This variegation doesn't look like any mosaic variegation I've seen before, but rather looks much more like Lillian Jarrett variegation. Did I miss a memo that reclassified LJ as mosaic or am I just mistaking?
The Violet Barn FAQ has this to say about it.
"In addition, there is 'mosaic' (or 'Lillian Jarrett') type variegation, which appears as heavy streaks or spotting in the center of the leaf blade (like freckles), the border of the blade remaining green."
I will take a pic of the plant tomorrow and post it so you can see what I mean about suckers or trailer.
K here is the plant I have. I haven't had it long and it's been growing exactly like this from the beginning. First I thought it was one of the trailers I ordered. Now I see that its not suppose to be a trailer. I read that it does like to sucker though.
That's how I think of them as well. Which is how I end up overwhelmed with violets lol. Lucky me my Mom-in law has decided she likes them so I have sent her a lot of my plants. Standards so far.
This one is just growing in such a way, and being small,I am having a problem deciding which is what. I am thinking it actually has two suckers. I guess I will take it out of the pot and see what I come up with tomorrow.

Activity 3.5 Doppler Radar in a Shoebox Note: LIVE FROM THE STORM Instructional Materials Development team member (and 8th grade science teacher) Tim McCollum demonstrates how to implement this Activity in the Video which is part of the PASSPORT TO WEATHER AND CLIMATE Teacher Resource Kit. Extensive supplemental information about Doppler radar, how it works and the resourceful men and women who keep the nation's WSR-88D network running may be found online at the LFSTORM website. PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE gratefully acknowledges review of this activity by Tim's "Project DataStreme" instructor, Glen Freimuth, Professor of Earth Science, Richland Community College, Decatur, IL Teacher Background "The National Weather Service has just issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the following counties…" How often has your favorite television program been interrupted with these familiar words? Whether you live in "Tornado Alley" or face the fury of tropical storms, you and your students are likely to be reminded several times each year of the awesome forces of nature. Because of its geographic location and topography, the United States witnesses some of the most varied and violent weather of any country on Earth. Geostationary satellites give days' notice of the arrival of massive but relatively slow-moving hurricanes, but until recently there has been just a few minutes in which to alert the public to an oncoming tornado. Recent advances in weather prediction technology, however, can now give 30 minutes or more warning of tornadoes. This translates into saving hundreds of lives. What tools do meteorologists use to give advance warnings of these impending storms? One of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of a storm tracker is Doppler radar. Radar has been used to track storms since the early 1940's. Following World War II, surplus military radar systems were employed to track storms over short distances. Unfortunately this method gave too little notice to people in the paths of killer tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms. Long-range radar was eventually developed and became a useful tool for meteorologists in day-to-day operations. Today, WSR-88D ("Weather Surveillance Radar, developed in 1988, Doppler"), uses two different modes to locate and measure various significant properties of a severe storm. In what's called the "reflectivity" mode, the radar indicates the location, movement and intensity of precipitation (Activity 3.5.1). In the "velocity" (or Doppler ) mode, the radar determines vorticity (rotation) or circulation of the winds within the storm (Activity 3.5.2). All of these measurements are made by sending out short bursts of microwave energy and using a 10 meter diameter dish antenna to detect the echoes. The antenna is housed in a tall round structure called a radome. A storm analyzed by a modern weather radar image is shown in various colors, each representing a different aspect of the storm. The meaning of the colors varies depending on the mode. In the reflectivity mode, colors run from light green which represents light rain to dark red which represents heavy rain or hail. In the velocity (Doppler) mode, green represents movement of air toward the radar antenna and red represents movement away from the radar antenna. The same principle which allows police to determine the speed of a passing motorist is used by meteorologists to locate areas of rotating air within a storm. (Again, see the video in the Teacher Resource Kit.) It's this ability to discern internal air circulation that makes Doppler radar such a powerful short range forecasting and warning tool. Meteorologists look for characteristic "signatures" inside the storm. Every time a forecaster sees side-by-side regions of air moving toward and away from the radar, they know they've "got rotation." (See the JOURNALs from Geoff Haines-Stiles [PTK] and Doug Speheger [NOAA/NWS] relating to the December 2, 1999 tornadoes which hit near Norman, OK.) Another such signature is a backwards "J"-shaped hook which appears near the back of a storm. But some tornadoes have no "hook" and not every hook shape means a tornado! The Doppler radar signature of rotation, however, is currently the clearest and most important clue to the presence of dangerous weather, except for trained spotters on the ground. Objectives Students will create a model to simulate storm tracking by modern weather radar. Students will transform a concealed 3-dimensional shape into a full-color, 2-D image using a color key corresponding to that used by professional meteorologists. Students will use the model to distinguish between areas of storm intensity (precipitation levels) and internal air circulation. Students will use the model to predict the direction and movement of a storm system. Vocabulary circulation Doppler radar microwave radome reflectivity mode rotation velocity mode vorticity "warning" (as used by NOAA/NWS) "watch" (as used by NOAA/NWS) Materials (per team of 2-3 students) 1 shoe box with lid tape glue assorted materials of varying hardness (rocks, styrofoam, cardboard, marshmallows, foam rubber, crumbled aluminum foil, Play Doh, etc.) metal coat hangers (cut and bent straight), knitting needles or wooden skewers awl, leather punch or other sharp object to punch holes in the shoe box lid (caution in appropriate use) crayons or colored pencils Activity 3.5 Worksheet (grid for box lid) Engage Ask the students when they last recall having their TV viewing (which was only being watched for one half hour daily, after homework was completed, and double checked, of course) interrupted by severe weather announcements. During which seasons of the year are these watches and warnings most common? (Severe thunderstorms can occur year round, although "tornado season" in U.S. is typically spring through early summer.) Discuss the difference between a severe storm watch (conditions are favorable for the storm to occur) and a warning (a severe storm has been sighted). What tools do meteorologists use to locate and track severe weather? (Radar, satellite, weather balloons, trained storm spotters communicating via CB and more.) What can these tools tell us about the storm? (Location, size, type and intensity of precipitation. Human spotters are still the surest reporters of a tornado actually on the ground. Doppler radar can also locate rotation of a column of air inside of a storm.) Ask students if a friend or relative has even been stopped for speeding? If so, they know that Doppler radar works down here on Earth, but they might not know how and why. This Activity will show them how police, as well as weather, radar actually works. Perhaps your students have seen weather radar images on a TV weather report or on the Internet. One or more of your local stations (especially if you live in tornado or hurricane-prone territories) may proudly and loudly promote its own "Doppler radar" images during weathercasts. Other stations use NOAA's NWS Doppler images and forecasts, even if they don't always make that clear! What do the different colors of the weather radar image represent? (In the reflectivity mode they represent size, type, and intensity of precipitation. In the velocity mode they represent air movement toward or away from the radar.) Procedure In advance, be sure to have reviewed the procedures on the Student Worksheets, and the sequence on the Teacher Resource Video, if you have it. Divide the class into teams of 2-3 students. Distribute a shoebox with its lid, 2 copies of the grid pattern copy master 3.5.1 (one to paste on the shoebox lid as a guide for the holes and the other as a recording data sheet) and a set of all other materials to each team. Inside each box the students will place items of varying hardness to create a model of a severe storm. Decide whether to have the students do Activity 3.5.1 (reflectivity mode) or Activity 3.5.2 (velocity mode) or both. Distribute Student Worksheets 3.5.1 and/or 3.5.2, and review procedures with students. Circulate (sic), supervise and encourage students as they implement the Activities. Pay special attention to the use of the awl to make holes in the box lid. IMPORTANT NOTE TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS When simulating the velocity (Doppler ) mode of weather radar, the colors in the resulting patterns have different meanings than used in the reflectivity mode. In the velocity ( Doppler ) mode, red represents air moving away from the radar source and green shows air flowing towards the radar source. TEACHER TIP: Tim McCollum, Charleston Middle School 1. We often use models to make complex processes more understandable for our students. Yet, in every model there exists the potential for the students to draw an unintended conclusion. In our shoebox models, the probes were lowered into the simulated storms from the top down. In reality, Doppler radar scans both horizontally and vertically (from the ground up and out) thereby sweeping out a cone in a series of what are called "volume scans." 2. Avoid planning the Activity over a weekend or holiday, as the materials can harden and alter the readings 3. Reinforce the idea that when placing the materials in the boxes the most intense precipitation should be modeled by putting the hardest objects to the inside of their model storms and as they move outward the materials should become softer. Also, it's o.k. to leave parts of the bottom of the box empty. Be sure all the items inside the boxes are fastened down securely before trading boxes between student teams or they will shift and ruin the model storm pattern. 4. The darker colors on the hand-colored grid sheets resulted in better looking simulated radar patterns - perhaps using narrow point markers or transparency pens. They also look better when viewed from a distance. 5. The NIH extension of this Activity was the highlight for me. (See Tim's Tips for this on the LIVE FROM THE STORM website.) Expand/Adapt/Connect If you have access to a color printer, download and print examples of weather radar images taken off the Internet. (See URL list below.) Display these beside student model storms drawn on the grid sheets. Locate an Internet site which displays weather radar images for regions near your community. These can often be found on NOAA/NWS sites or local TV station websites. A memorable way of relating the shoebox model to real world applications is suggested in the AMS "Project Atmosphere" Teacher's Guide, "Weather Radar: Detecting Precipitation." Suspend aluminum foil pieces, smooth or crumbled (Styrofoam packing "peanuts" would work well, too) from the classroom ceiling to represent rain or snow, darken the room and use a flashlight to represent the radar beam. Have the students locate the precipitation and estimate the distance from the radar source. (See Resources.) Older students can research new technologies used in weather radar which display vertical and 3 dimensional images of storm systems. How do astronomers use the principle of the Doppler effect in their work? (As evidence of an expanding universe noting the red shift in the spectra of distant galaxies.) Technologically savvy students and teachers can attempt to render their storm models and radar simulations as computer images. See TEACHER TIPS from Tim McCollum online, in the EDUCATORS section of the LFSTORM website. Be sure to share your successes with the DISCUSS-STORM list.

Hey k9Ctum,
There is a step by step guide in the theme guide, please follow the steps.
Thanks, Jen
Suddenly the theme is displaying my posts in just one column!! I've re-installed the theme but it doesn't work.
Please help!
Please make sure you have the Instagram feed right by following the instructions in the theme guide.
Thanks, Jen
Hey, great theme! I was wondering if it was possible to have a text preview on image posts that are shown on the homepage, like the collage ones? I would like my user to know if the image posts have text as well. Thank you!
Hi Gallardooo,
You can't show captions on photo posts unfortunately.
It seems like it's a issue caused by Chromes update, I will wait to see if Chrome pushes out another update to fix this issue. Or else I will manually update it.
is it possible to show my posts always random?
Hey Kisarnold,
Unfortunately it isn't possible.
Hey Jen,
and in always shuffle posts?
Hey Kisarnold,
I'm not quite understanding your question, the posts are shown in a timely order.
Hi Jen,
I would like two options:
1. if somebody is going to the site, see only one post in random. Like the random button but it's automatically
2. If somebody is going to the site see the posts in shuffle, not in timely order and every refresh result a new layout, a new shuffled layout.
Hi Kisarnold,
That isn't possible unfortunately.

This product has a FreakScore of 8.3 out of 10 based on 130 scores.
I have had these speakers for a week I think they sound very good, the design/look is excellent. The integrated optional floor spikes (included) is a good option. You will need to experiment
with the placement of these speakers to achieve the desired bass response. I have these speakers dedicated to a two channel stereo system. They are a little bright, however I prefer brightness over a muddled sound, just adjust the bass/treble to your liking. I highly recommend these speakers, the classic JBL sound. I power up these speakers with a Yamaha A-S 500, they work well together. Note:I live in a Condo thus I can not push these speakers to Loud, just sometimes, they really shine at high level.
Perfect match for my dinosaur Yamaha A-1000 amp. Previous speakers couldn't handle output without distortion. These units blow the windows out above level 4. Terrific sound definition with very strong bass & mid-range. Treble sufficient when dialed up. A little tall in stature but they look great. Very satisfied.
Need more advice? Ask the community a question.
I purchased these speakers as a gift to myself and I have yet to try them since x-mas has yet to arrive but i am debating do i need the subwoofer i will only use these es80 speakers for listening to music not surround sound? So what do you think pay the 300 for the subwoofer or not?

On A Roll
I have been quilting for customers and finished these quilts.
I used the Tulip Festival pantograph by Lorien Quilting and King Tut Pharaohs Tales variegated thread in top and bottom to quilt this.
Back of the black background, flowered quilt.
I used a circle ruler to make continuous curves on this quilt.
A friend made this quilt using the Missouri Quilt tear away method to make her blocks. She will be donating this quilt to a group that gives them to needy families.
The quilt below, gave me fits. I had quilted the cherries and decided I didn't like the stitching. I tore out the stitches and wet the red fabric to get the stitch holes out. The red dye ran onto the backing fabric. Ugh. With the clients permission, and more red fabric, (which I washed), I made new cherries and used a blanket stitch to finish them. While the cherries were removed, I washed the area by hand and was able to remove most of the red discoloration. Most of the thread used was Superior Omni, color buff in the top and bobbin.

Taking Bribes From Billionaires 34 comments
Yes, please.
This would be an excellent time to be a billionaire (history records few times when being a billionaire would be bad). Being poor is never any good and being middle class has been a bit rough what with a tepid recovery and so on. But for the rich - very very rich - it is pretty great. Credit is loose and asset price inflation can be found essentially anywhere.
But what good is this for the bargain hunter? We price-sensitive sleuths search the world for price failures, for counterparties whose time-sensitivity leaves them little room to negotiate effectively on price. Often, these counterparties are in a bad way - pressured, leveraged, failing, and out of control. However, there can also be price-insensitive counterparties at the other extreme - not a care in the world, ultra liquid, prospering, and able to indulge every whim.
So what do they want? Sometimes, they want to be a first mover, to get what they want and to get it now. They want to be first in line… and that can cost a lot. One strategy that can be useful in moving towards membership in the ranks of the idle rich is to invest in high-end wait list deposits. These places in line can often be purchased and re-sold for a serious profit to billionaires who will pay practically anything for what they want but were not quick enough to secure an early place in line.
For example? The new Gulfstream G650 from General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) goes for 65 bucks and took an initial order from two hundred tony customers from various climes. It is the fastest civilian jet in the world, can go 8,000 miles on a tank of jet fuel, and cruises through the dark purple sky at 51,000 feet over both undesirable weather and less desirable mortals. The air pressurization in the cabin is such that you don't get as many symptoms of jetlag, meaning that this purchase can be justified as both a health and time saver. If you don't have one, you don't have everything. When you step on board, you won't have to remove your shoes, board by row, or get groped by someone in uniform unless it is your preference. Depending upon configuration, it only sits about eight. But then again I only like about eight people (although one might grow suspicious that even these eight are only mooching off of the friend with a new Gulfstream).
The catch was that they only delivered 50 per year for the first four years starting in 2012. 50? What the heck? Starting with the working assumption that everyone wants one, there will be countless billionaires standing around waiting for their plane. Steve Ballmer? He may be crap at running Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), but he is not someone who should have to wait… and since he is not one the wealthiest 50 people in the world he could be left out in the cold for a year(!). Chinese real estate tycoon Hui Ka Yan? He might not get his for four years. And the Chinese market tends to be quite particular about new planes, OEM direct.
So, forget about the $65 bucks, naturally that is just the beginning (hangarage, insurance, jet fuel, landing fees, captain, co-pilot, and flight attendants who will let you call them stewardesses will be ongoing costs of $3-4 bucks/year. Ugh). Instead, just focus on buying a place in line - an initial $500k eventually reaching a full deposit of $3 mil. The chance that you'll lose that $3 or have to cough up another $62 while standing in line with Oprah and various Saudi princes looking over your shoulder to see what is the hang up? Zero. You will never get to the front of the line. You'll never have to. First year return on a deposit? 100% straight up. Sure, they get their place in line, but you get a quick $3 mil.
Now that you've monetized your deposit, time to head down market to the projects of the jet world, crossing to the wrong side of the tracks, the seedy underworld of "light jets" or even the "very light jets". Now, you're only going 2,000 miles on a tank and you might even be getting someone else's sloppy seconds in the used market. They can run for $1 per mile and can use short runways, which is not nothing. With $3 mil in your back pocket, you can get this Cessna Mustang from Textron (NYSE:TXT):
You've just traded your place in line for a perfectly adequate, sorta okay, gets-you-from-point-A-to-point-B, serviceable jet. It's just… It's just… Well, when you were waiting in line - even knowing that you were going to flip the deposit for a profit - it felt real. It felt right. You started having these thoughts about the G650. And after that, it could be a little hard to walk away. It is kind of like a breakup. So, give yourself a little time before settling…Back To Chris DeMuth Jr.'s Instablog HomePage »

Not exactly; this one I tried to write "theoretically". While I have done most -- but not all -- of the tactics that I write about, I am trying to split the difference between being useful to readers while note wrecking the opportunities by describing them. The most spirited responses that I've gotten in direct e-mails has been encouraging me to be quiet by people who already know about my tactics and already use them and don't want them disrupted by overly disseminating them.
Not yet, but I should try. Pro sports season tickets, super cars, and wine futures (tied to specific vineyards as opposed to the more widely traded Bordeaux futures) are probably three of the areas I'd look. The key attributes are strong demand led by at least some fanatics and a nominal market for places in a queue in which price is set by somewhat arbitrary norms instead of real competition.
Chris this was great. I'm going to fwd to a pilot friend who flies around this type of shopper. His stories confirm the rampant snobbery among the jet-set. Light jets are for rentals, jr. analysts and midwestern manufacturers inspecting plants on day trips. He flies mid-sized jets: execs, entrepreneurs and wealthy families going on vacation.
Thanks! In my experience one can auction deposits on cars and boats, too but planes are among the most scalable of this type of opportunity. It fits into my preference to be on the price-sensitive/time-i... side of any market. This type of investing is sort of a hobby outside of work.
Thought provoking article.
And I thought buying BCS football tickets in advance was a profitable strategy. This is a whole new level. I imagine you have to be accredited though and have more than the 500k-3M liquid. Otherwise the upper middle class could mortgage their house and make a quick 100% flip =)
That is exactly where my mind went. Maybe Chris can shed some light.
They want to know that 1) one is able to pay and 2) is serious (hopefully writing this won't hurt #2). That being said, they didn't seem to care all that much as someone was going to pay and there was a backlog, so that it would probably be fine with them if someone walked away from three bucks and number 201 was able to get in line.
No, this kind of thing is just a hobby/personal account idea.
The Big Bad Private Jet Every Billionaire Wants:
I am going to answer that hypothetically in order to avoid disrupting the opportunity: it would be reasonable to conclude that one could secure and sell a spot for something like this. Price-insensitive types (typically from China, Russia, and the Middle East) might pay 2-3x the cost of deposits. It is similar pricing dynamics to car extras -- people are paying a lot anyways and so don't really care about a bit extra.
