Dis Generation
"...a society that cuts itself from its youth severs its lifeline, but a society that engages their interests, enlists their talents and liberates their energies brings hope to the entire world" (Kofi Anan). Welcome to Jennifer Ehidiamen's online dairy. "Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation" (Nelson Mandela).

Opportunity For Young Leaders: Satyagraha Institute Announces Nonviolence Training Program
Satyagraha Institute (satyagrahainstitute.org) announces its first summer institute, to be held August 2 -22, 2015 in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The program will provide leaders interested in nonviolent social change an opportunity to deepen their understanding, skills, commitment, and community.
Mohandas Gandhi, who famously experimented with the possibilities of nonviolence, coined the Sanskrit term satyagraha, or truth-force, to identify a method of social change. Satyagraha is a way of directly engaging with others to work out the difficult aspects of life without resorting to coercion, harm, or ill intention.
The summer learning experience will be rooted in a course of study, the arts, community life, and the inner life. Resident faculty and a variety of visiting resource people will guide the exploration of nonviolence in the traditions of Mohandas Gandhi, indigenous spirituality and culture, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement, Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker movement, and various spiritual traditions. Training will also be provided in conflict prevention and tools for conflict resolution.
Faculty include: M.P. Mathai, a well-known Gandhian scholar from India; Darlene Pipeboy, a Dakota elder and pipe keeper; Amelia Parker, Executive Director of Peace Brigades International; Priscilla Prutzman, Executive Director of Creative Response to Conflict; Clare Hanrahan, an author and organizer with the New South Network of War Resisters; and Fernando Ferrara, founder Mesa de Paz in Mexico.
The institute is designed for leaders of groups, organizations, movements, and communities. The program also welcomes promising young people who are likely to be future leaders.
The application deadline is May 31, 2015. Space is limited, so early application is suggested. In order for this program to remain affordable, it relies heavily on donor contributions. Satyagraha Institute welcomes contributions via its website, satyagrahainstitute.org.

How To Change The World...
"When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."
- Unknown Monk (1100AD)

On Ideas Whose Time Has Come & Feminine Leadership - Jess Rimington
|Jess, Ashima and Jen-- OWYP team- Disney World, Florida USA 2007
"Our dream came true and we proved something very important: independent of who you are or where you come from, independent of the world being in economic crisis, if you never give up, have a business plan that works, stick to your ethics, and have a strong culture, then a community, together, can birth an idea whose time has come." Jess Rimington, founder One World Youth Project.
"I have come to believe that at this particular moment in human history the world needs more feminine leadership, embodied in and demonstrated by both women and men. The art of feminine leadership is to give space so that the flame burns brighter, to witness so that there is safe space, to trust so that others trust themselves, to give power so that power multiplies, and to leave when the time to leave has come." Jess Rimington, Founder One World Youth Project.

Organizations In Nigeria: Host A Fellow For Short-term Africa-based Internship Program
Last year, the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, part of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative, brought 500 young leaders from every country in Sub-Saharan Africa to the U.S. for 6 weeks of leadership training, including 44 leaders from Nigeria. USAID is supporting these Fellows after they return to Africa with one year of professional development opportunities, including an Africa-based internship program.
IREX, a non-profit organization working with the U.S. State Department and USAID to implement the Mandela Washington Fellowship, is looking to identify hosts for short-term professional internships for these young leaders, who are between 25-35 years of age and come from diverse backgrounds. Internships last between 2-6 months, and companies/organizations should commit to engaging Fellows on a substantive project for a mid-career professional during the internship. If your organization is interested in hosting a Fellow for a professional internship, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Activism In Nigeria And The Movie "Into The Woods"
Activism ac·tiv·ism\ˈak-ti-ˌvi-zəm\
: a doctrine or practice that emphasizes direct vigorous action especially in support of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue. (SOURCE: Merriam-Webster).
In Nigeria, I have seen a certain pattern of activistm- fist-pounding standing on the pedestal- screaming for change long enough until the change comes. But the change comes in form of a government appointment. And the activist's voice is blown into silence as he/she soon starts frolicking with the ideologies and acts that he/she once strongly fought against.
Activism is not for everyone. Infact, some people that like to label themselves as activists are not even one. Like me. I am not an activist. But I've been in the past labeled so because of my active participation in development sector. It sounded sexy at the time. But the older I get and the more it seems that the issues real activists have been strongly opposing are not even bulging. Or maybe they are, albeit in trickles.
We must give way and let the activists be activists.
Activism is not a game. If pursuing government appointment is the sole reason for wearing the badge of activism, then please get into the government and change things. Don't just get in and become praise-singers.
Should activists be partisans in the first place? Hunger and poverty is too much in Nigeria.
The movie, "Into the Woods," is a good one. It is a really funny movie (musicals) but somehow I managed to see Nigeria in it.
Two scenes stood out: The part where a woman and her blind daughters opted to run off and hide while others chose to stay and fight the giant. If I recall her words correctly, "Some people are cut out to fight giants...," she said and asked that they call her when the "war" was over... the other scene that stood out was the "the blame-game." This is very common in Nigeria. How did the giant come down? Who planted the seed that grew into a gigantic tree into the sky? Even though some benefitted from the circumstances that led to the event, everyone shared in the blame-game as they tried to find the culprit.
Oh well. It is a new year. In a few weeks, we'll be electing a new set of government leaders.
The world awaits.
Happy New Year Nigerians and fellow global citizens!
May our joy be full.

I Wish Us Well
It has been a great year of learning,
and dreaming.
there is room for growth.
I praise God for His faithfulness towards me and my family. For it is by His Mercy and Grace that we are still standing.
Dear friends,
May this Christmas be merry for you & your family.
And may the New Year usher in good tidings and joy, indescribable.
Ni agbara Jesu! Amin.
I appreciate everyone,
for the role you played in my life this year.
I appreciate me for still believing,
even when it rained on my parade.
My faith is strengthened,
I have a Wonderful Counsellor.
Is there any sick among us?
May you find complete healing this season.
May your oil of gladness not dry up.
May the hurting be restored,
and made whole.
May the lost come to themselves
like the prodigal son did,
and remember the way home.
May the cursed draw to Jesus Christ,
the original curse breaker.
Nothing is unredeemable, with Him.
Heaven wants to see a smile upon your face,
Every thing else matters not at all.
Live love!

"Our findings show that the brain does not need danger messages coming from the tissues of the body in order to generate pain in that body part — sensable and reliable cues that predict impending pain are enough to produce the experience of pain," says researcher G. Lorimer Moseley of the University of South Australia. "These results suggest a new approach to developing treatments for pain that are based on separating the non-danger messages from the danger messages associated with a movement."

A soldier came marching down the road: Left . . . right! Left . . . right! He had a pack on his back and a sword at his side. He had been in the war and he was on his way home. Along the road he met a witch. She was a disgusting sight, with a lower lip that hung all the way down to her chest.
"Good evening, young soldier," she said. "What a handsome sword you have and what a big knapsack. I can see that you are a real soldier! I shall give you all the money that you want."
"Thank you, old witch," he said.
"Do you see that big tree?" asked the witch, and pointed to the one they were standing next to. "The trunk is hollow. You climb up to the top of the tree, crawl into the hole, and slide deep down inside it. I'll tie a rope around your waist, so I can pull you up again when you call me."
"What am I supposed to do down in the tree?" asked the soldier.
"Get money!" answered the witch and laughed. "Now listen to me. When you get down to the very bottom, you'll be in a great passageway where you'll be able to see because there are over a hundred lamps burning. You'll find three doors; and you can open them all because the keys are in the locks. Go into the first one; and there on a chest, in the middle of the room, you'll see a dog with eyes as big as teacups. Don't let that worry you. You will have my blue checkered apron; just spread it out on the floor, put the dog down on top of it, and it won't do you any harm. Open the chest and take as many coins as you wish, they are all copper. If it's silver you're after, then go into the next room. There you'll find a dog with eyes as big as millstones; but don't let that worry you, put him on the apron and take the money. If you'd rather have gold, you can have that too; it is in the third room. Wait till you see that dog, he's got eyes as big as the Round Tower in Copenhagen; but don't let that worry you. Put him down on my apron and he won't hurt you; then you can take as much gold as you wish."
"That doesn't sound bad!" said the soldier. "But what am I to do for you, old witch? I can't help thinking that you must want something too."
"No," replied the witch. "I don't want one single coin. Just bring me the old tinderbox that my grandmother forgot the last time she was down there."
"I'm ready, tie the rope around my waist!" ordered the soldier.
"There you are, and here is my blue checkered apron," said the witch.
The soldier climbed the tree, let himself fall into the hole, and found that he was in the passageway, where more than a hundred lights burned.
He opened the first door. Oh! There sat the dog with eyes as big as teacups glaring at him.
"You are a handsome fellow!" he exclaimed as he put the dog down on the witch's apron. He filled his pockets with copper coins, closed the chest, and put the dog back on top of it.
He went into the second room. Aha! There sat the dog with eyes as big as millstones. "Don't keep looking at me like that," said the soldier good-naturedly. "It isn't polite and you'll spoil your eyes." He put the dog down on the witch's apron and opened the chest. When he saw all the silver coins, he emptied the copper out of his pockets and filled both them and his knapsack with silver.
Now he entered the third room. That dog was big enough to frighten anyone, even a soldier. His eyes were as large as the Round Tower in Copenhagen and they turned around like wheels.
"Good evening," said the soldier politely, taking off his cap, for such a dog he had never seen before. For a while he just stood looking at it; but finally he said to himself, "Enough of this!" Then he put the dog down on the witch's apron and opened up the chest.
"God preserve me!" he cried. There was so much gold that there was enough to buy the whole city of Copenhagen and all the gingerbread men, rocking horses, riding whips, and tin soldiers in the whole world.
Quickly the soldier threw away all the silver coins that he had in his pockets and knapsack and put gold in them instead; he even filled his boots and his cap with money. He put the dog back on the chest, closed the door behind him, and called up through the hollow tree.
"Pull me up, you old witch!"
"Have you got the tinderbox?" she called back.
"Right you are, I have forgotten it," he replied honestly, and went back to get it. The witch hoisted him up and again he stood on the road; but now his pockets, knapsack, cap, and boots were filled with gold and he felt quite differently.
"Why do you want the tinderbox?" he asked.
"Mind your own business," answered the witch crossly. "You have got your money, just give me the tinderbox."
"Blah! Blah!" said the soldier. "Tell me what you are going to use it for, right now; or I'll draw my sword and cut off your head."
"No!" replied the witch firmly; but that was a mistake, for the soldier chopped her head off. She lay there dead. The soldier put all his gold in her apron, tied it up into a bundle, and threw it over his shoulder. The tinderbox he dropped into his pocket; and off to town he went.
The town was nice, and the soldier went to the nicest inn, where he asked to be put up in the finest room: and ordered all the things he liked to eat best for his supper, because now he had so much money that he was rich.
The servant who polished his boots thought it was very odd that a man so wealthy should have such worn-out boots. But the soldier hadn't had time to buy anything yet; the next day he bought boots and clothes that fitted his purse. And the soldier became a refined gentleman. People were eager to tell him all about their town and their king, and what a lovely princess his daughter was.
"I would like to see her," said the soldier.
"But no one sees her," explained the townfolk. "She lives in a copper castle, surrounded by walls, and towers, and a moat. The king doesn't dare allow anyone to visit her because it has been foretold that she will marry a simple soldier, and the king doesn't want that to happen."
"If only I could see her," thought the soldier, though it was unthinkable.
The soldier lived merely, went to the theater, kept a carriage so he could drive in the king's park, and gave lots of money to the poor. He remembered well what it felt like not to have a penny in his purse.
He was rich and well dressed. He had many friends; and they all said that he was kind and a real cavalier; and such things he liked to hear. But since he used money every day and never received any, he soon had only two copper coins left.
He had to move out of the beautiful room downstairs, up to a tiny one in the garret, where he not only polished his boots himself but also mended them with a large needle. None of his friends came to see him, for they said there were too many stairs to climb.
It was a very dark evening and he could not even buy a candle. Suddenly he remembered that he had seen the stub of a candle in the tinderbox that he had brought up from the bottom of the hollow tree. He found the tinderbox and took out the candle. He struck the flint. There was a spark, and in through the door came the dog with eyes as big as teacups.
"What does my master command?" asked the dog.
"What's this all about?" exclaimed the soldier. "That certainly was an interesting tinderbox. Can I have whatever I want? Bring me some money," he ordered. In less time than it takes to say thank you, the dog was gone and back with a big sack of copper coins in his mouth.
Now the soldier understood why the witch had thought the tinderbox so valuable. If he struck it once, the dog appeared who sat on the chest full of copper coins; if he struck it twice, then the dog came who guarded the silver money; and if he struck it three times, then came the one who had the gold.
The soldier moved downstairs again, wore fine clothes again, and had fine friends, for now they all remembered him and cared for him as they had before.
One night, when he was sitting alone after his friends had gone, he thought, "It is a pity that no one can see that beautiful princess. What is the good of her beauty if she must always remain behind the high walls and towers of a copper castle? Will I never see her? . . . Where is my tinderbox?"
He made the sparks fly and the dog with eyes as big as teacups came. "I know it's very late at night," he said, "but I would so like to see the beautiful princess, if only for a minute."
Away went the dog; and faster than thought he returned with the sleeping princess on his back. She was so lovely that anyone would have known that she was a real princess. The soldier could not help kissing her, for he was a true soldier.
The dog brought the princess back to her copper castle; but in the morning while she was having tea with her father and mother, the king and queen, she told them that she had had a very strange dream that night. A large dog had come and carried her away to a soldier who kissed her.
"That's a nice story," said the queen, but she didn't mean it.
The next night one of the older ladies in waiting was sent to watch over the princess while she slept, and find out whether it had only been a dream, and not something worse.
The soldier longed to see the princess so much that he couldn't bear it, so at night he sent the dog to fetch her. The dog ran as fast as he could, but the lady in waiting had her boots on and she kept up with him all the way. When she saw which house he had entered, she took out a piece of chalk and made a big white cross on the door.
"Now we'll be able to find it in the morning," she thought, and went home to get some sleep.
When the dog returned the princess to the castle, he noticed the cross on the door of the house where his master lived; so he took a piece of white chalk and put crosses on all the doors of all the houses in the whole town. It was a very clever thing to do, for now the lady in waiting would never know which was the right door.
The next morning the king and queen, the old lady in waiting, and all the royal officers went out into town to find the house where the princess had been.
"Here it is!" exclaimed the king, when he saw the first door with a cross on it.
"No, my sweet husband, it is here," said his wife, who had seen the second door with a cross on it.
"Here's one!"
"There's one!"
Everyone shouted at once, for it didn't matter where anyone looked: there he would find a door with a cross on it; and so they all gave up.
Now the queen was so clever, she could do more than ride in a golden carriage. She took out her golden scissors and cut out a large piece of silk and sewed it into a pretty little bag. This she filled with the fine grain of buckwheat, and tied the bag around the princess' waist. When this was done, she cut a little hole in the bag just big enough for the little grains of buckwheat to fall out, one at a time, and show the way to the house where the princess was taken by the dog.
During the night the dog came to fetch the princess and carry her on his back to the soldier, who loved her so much that now he had only one desire, and that was to be a prince so that he could marry her.
The dog neither saw nor felt the grains of buckwheat that made a little trail all the way from the copper castle to the soldier's room at the inn. In the morning the king and queen had no difficulty in finding where the princess had been, and the soldier was thrown into jail.
There he sat in the dark with nothing to do; and what made matters worse was that everyone said, "Tomorrow you are going to be hanged!"
That was not amusing to hear. If only he had had his tinderbox, but he had forgotten it in his room. When the sun rose, he watched the people, through the bars of his window, as they hurried toward the gates of the city, for the hanging was to take place outside the walls. He heard the drums and the royal soldiers marching. Everyone was running. He saw a shoemaker's apprentice, who had not bothered to take off his leather apron and was wearing slippers. The boy lifted his legs so high, it looked as though he were galloping. One of his slippers flew off and landed near the window of the soldier's cell.
"Hey!" shouted the soldier. "Listen, shoemaker, wait a minute, nothing much will happen before I get there. But if you will run to the inn and get the tinderbox I left in my room, you can earn four copper coins. But you'd better use your legs or it will be too late."
The shoemaker's apprentice, who didn't have one copper coin, was eager to earn four; and he ran to get the tinderbox as fast as he could; and gave it to the soldier.
And now you shall hear what happened after that!
Outside the gates of the town, a gallows had been built; around it stood the royal soldiers and many hundreds of thousands of people. The king and the queen sat on their lovely throne, and across from them sat the judge and the royal council.
The soldier was standing on the platform, but as the noose was put around his neck, he declared that it was an ancient custom to grant a condemned man his last innocent wish The only thing he wanted was to be allowed to smoke a pipe of tobacco.
The king couldn't refuse; and the soldier took out his tinderbox and struck it: once, twice, tbree times! Instantly, the three dogs were before him: the one with eyes as big as teacups, the one with eyes as big as millstones, and the one with eyes as big as the Round Tower in Copenhagen.
"Help me! I don't want to be hanged!" cried the soldier.
The dogs ran toward the judge and the royal council. They took one man by the leg and another by the nose, and threw them up in the air, so high that when they hit the earth again they broke into little pieces.
"Not me!" screamed the king; but the biggest dog took both the king and the queen and sent tbem flying up as high as all the others had been.
The royal guards got frightened; and the people began to shout: "Little soldier, you sha1l be our king and marry the princess!"
The soldier rode in the king's golden carriage; and the three dogs danced in front of it and barked: "Hurrah!"
The little boys whistled and the royal guards presented arms. The princess came out of her copper castle and became queen, which she liked very much. The wedding feast lasted a week; and the three dogs sat at the table and made eyes at everyone.

Jamal Crawford
Pretty much everyone wants Jamal Crawford
Dec 2, 2011, 5:29 PM EDT
From Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld: On Wednesday, NBA teams were allowed to contact agents for the first time since June 30, the day before the lockout commenced. Executives were given the opportunity to work the phones and express interest in upcoming free agents ten days before those players can start signing with teams. One player…
Wednesday morning one liners: Portland loves Brandon Roy
Nov 30, 2011, 11:40 AM EDT
Do not underestimate the love of the Blazers fan base for Brandon Roy, or how that could weight into plans to use the amnesty clause on him. Carlos Boozer thinks the Chicago Bulls can win an NBA title. This year. How desperate are the Knicks for a big man to take a one year deal?…
Monday morning one liners: Coming, going from Europe

The Nets are very excited to make their problems worse in free agency
Nov 27, 2011, 12:54 PM EDT
Here's the best part about all the games lost and money squandered and damage done to the game in this lockout. All the attempts to curb spending are going to end with a free agency class getting considerably more than it deserves. It has some stars in it, but the best options are either facing…
President Obama to host NBA lockout charity game
Nov 19, 2011, 10:59 AM EDT
Sure, we've grown a little weary of the NBA lockout charity games. But when the president calls and says he is putting a game together guys are going to lace it up for that one. Well, it's to help fundraise for Barack Obama's re-election campaign, so maybe we shouldn't expect to see Spencer Hawes. But…

Jamal Crawford wouldn't mind playing in Portland
Nov 7, 2011, 11:45 PM EDT
Around the league, players love Jamal Crawford. He is a popular guy in league locker rooms. And he's a guy who can come off the bench and light it up — he's not going to be efficient doing that, and he'll get lost on defense every other time down, but he'll put up points. That's…

Since this is what will have to pass as NBA basketball for…
Jamal Crawford is in high demand. Why?
Nov 3, 2011, 7:14 PM EDT
More good stuff from Sports Illustrated's Zach Lowe: Jamal Crawford is a confounding player. He has a fairly high-profile, takes the sort of difficult crunch-time jumpers that make highlight reels and just looks the part of a dynamic NBA player. LeBron James and LaMarcus Aldridge have both recruited Crawford, an impending free agent, via Twitter the…
LeBron James makes fun of his hairline, then tries to recruit Steve Nash and Jamal Crawford
Oct 27, 2011, 5:54 PM EDT
LeBron James has drawn criticism over the past few years for coming across as narcissistic and/or programmed in his public statements, completely turning the city of Cleveland against him with "The Decision," melting down in the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals and the 2011 NBA Finals, and his receding hairline. To his credit, LeBron showed a sense…
Top five unrestricted free agents… where will they go?
Jul 20, 2011, 3:15 PM EDT
Free agency is not going to be as much fun this time around. Whenever the owners and players get around to settling the lockout the free agency period will be condensed and hectic. Not that I really miss the drama of Lebron dragging out his decision, but it's fun to watch things break over a…

NBA Playoffs: Bulls bounce Hawks, will need more from Boozer vs. Heat
May 13, 2011, 12:01 AM EDT
Chicago's Game 6 dominance was in no way a surprise. Though Atlanta has played effective basketball at various points during this series, games like this one fall in line with the initial assessments of the Bulls' superiority. The Hawks exceeded most projections of their playoff performance, but their postseason success didn't change the fact that…
NBA Playoffs: Bulls have questions to answer to avoid Game 7
May 12, 2011, 4:16 PM EDT
For a Bulls team one win away from going to the conference finals, there seems to be a lot of questions. Not about their defense — we know they can lock it down on that end. But about their ability to score on a good defense. About how far Derrick Rose can carry their offense…
NBA Playoffs: Bulls shut down Hawks in the fourth
May 10, 2011, 11:34 PM EDT
The Atlanta Hawks gave the Bulls all they could handle for the first three quarters of Game 5. They had a surprising amount of success moving the ball against Chicago's top-ranked defense, penetrating at will and scoring tough baskets under the rim. They continued to make the league MVP work for everything he got —…
Referee Bennett Salvatore admits he blew call against Bulls
May 9, 2011, 8:12 AM EDT
It was one of the key moments at the end of game, another nail in the Bulls coffin in Game 4. The Bulls were down 6 and there was 2:30 left when Derrick Rose was behind the three-point line, got defender Jamal Crawford up in the air then leapt into him as he shot to…
NBA Playoffs: Bulls get back to basics, even up series against Hawks
May 5, 2011, 1:00 AM EDT
If Game 1 between the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks was an aberration — after all, the Hawks converted tough jumpers at an extremely high rate, and rode the high of those makes into a well-executed defense and an improbable victory — then Game 2 was oddly typical. The Bulls are no strangers to offensive…
Derrick Rose injures ankle on final play of game
May 2, 2011, 11:51 PM EDT
Seriously, there is a time — and a reason — to back off a little when the game is over. Soon to be MVP Derrick Rose showed why Tuesday night. Rose rolled his ankle on the final, meaningless possession of the Bulls 103-95 loss to the Hawks Tuesday. With seven seconds left and the Hawks…
Eastern Conference Round 2 Playoff Preview: Chicago vs. Atlanta

SEASON RECORDS Bulls: 62-20 (No. 1 seed in East) Hawks: 44-38(No. 5 seed) SEASON SERIES Bulls 2-1, all three games took place in a three-week span in March. The Hawks win was by three points at home, the Bulls two wins (one at home, one on the road) were by 18 and 33 points. PLAYOFF…
NBA Playoffs: Atlanta wins ugly, but moves on to the second round
Apr 29, 2011, 1:23 AM EDT
In all honesty, I would never wish repeat viewing of the Atlanta Hawks' series-clinching victory over the Orlando Magic on my worst enemy. The on-court product was brutal. Neither team could convert any of their shots, the turnovers were many, and the execution on the whole was fairly awful. Atlanta's 39.2 percent shooting from the…
NBA Playoffs: Hawks look for close out, Magic look for threes
Apr 28, 2011, 4:30 PM EDT
The dynamics of this series — the dynamics that put the Atlanta up 3-1 and give them to close out Orlando on Thursday night at home in Game 6 — have not changed. Atlanta will largely single-cover Dwight Howard and he will put up impressive numbers. Hedo Turkoglu will stink. Jamal Crawford will again have…
NBA Playoffs: Magic demolish the Hawks, turn the series on its head
Apr 26, 2011, 10:44 PM EDT
On Tuesday night, the Orlando Magic returned to the comforts of reality, while the Atlanta Hawks experienced a jarring awakening. The first four games in this series weren't an accurate representation of the performance of either team, but Game 5 shifted the matchup back toward balance, as Orlando thoroughly dominated both ends of the court…
NBA Playoffs: Orlando can create shots or create vacation plans
Apr 26, 2011, 7:20 PM EDT
The reason the Atlanta Hawks are up 3-1 in this series and can close out the Orlando Magic tonight — and the difference between the 2009 Magic that went to the finals and the 2011 Magic about to be eliminated in the first round — was summed up nicely by Stan Van Gundy (via ESPN):…
NBA Playoffs: Atlanta takes Game 4, Orlando is still searching
Apr 24, 2011, 11:46 PM EDT
We're well past a mere first round scare or claims of an "upset alert." With an 88-85 win in Game 4, the Atlanta Hawks have pushed the fourth-seeded Orlando Magic to the very edge of their playoff lives, a considerable achievement considering the regular season profiles of both teams. The Magic were the league's fourth…

D-backs set single-game attendance record at Salt River Fields in win over Dodgers
The Arizona Diamondbacks took down the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-1 Sunday afternoon and in the process set an attendance record at Salt River Fields.

Insight into how Britain's elite cycling teams are preparing for sporting success this summer
After collecting a haul of medals at the Track World Cup in London last month, Britain's top cyclists are preparing for the next step on the road to London 2012 - the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Melbourne.
We caught up with Joanna Rowsell and Ben Swift as they prepared to ride the boards in Melbourne, the ultimate test before they look to fulfil their Olympic dreams.
Jo and Ben talk us through their training regime ahead of Worlds, how they use CNP Professional products to fuel their training and what a typical week looks like for them as they get ready to go for gold. Jo talks about how her alopecia has made her more determined in life and on the bike.
Jo rides on the track and road and will compete in the Women's Team and Individual Pursuit at the World Championships. She previously won gold medals at the 2008 and 2009 World Championships and is hoping to replicate that this year with the ultimate goal of a podium finish at London 2012. Her British Cycling team-mate Ben Swift, who began cycling at the age of three, is taking part in the Men's Team Pursuit race.

Naylor Creek Spring Order
I recently joined AHS and received a very nice $15 off coupon for selected nurseries. I am thinking of using it at Naylor Creek because they seem to have a very large selection of fertile plants in their catalog. I am looking for plants that will set viable seeds. Hopefully fertile both directions. Which of these would you recommend for using to make hybrids.
Annabel Lee
Atom Smasher
CEltic Uplands
China Girl
Fleet Week
Funky Monkey
Gentle Giant
Lipstick Blonde
Purple Boots
Red Dragon
Scallion Pancakes
Totally Twisted
Waukon Water
I can't get all of them, though I would love too. I need to narrow the list down to proven winners. Has anyone had experience working with any of these cultivars? Thanks Vicky
You wrote, "I am looking for plants that will set viable seeds."
The hostas you've mentioned are quite diverse. So what are your hybridizing goals? None of the plants you listed will give you variegated seedlings...they will be one solid color such as all-blue, all-green, or all-gold.
None of them are on the list of Sterile Hostas. So probably all of them will produce viable seed (with the possible exception of Celtic Uplands).
Thanks for the link on the sterile hostas. I have been looking for something like that to see if any of the hostas I currently have are sterile.
Right now, I am not sure what my hybridizing goals are. I know that I need to have fertile plants and not sterile plants to work with. I would love to purchase fertile streaker plants, but I did not see anything like that in the list from Naylor's catalog.Did I miss anything looking at the catalog? I want to use the $15 coupon wisely but the list of vendors that honor it seems to be small, and when I checked them out, they did not have a lot of steakers for sale.
Right now, I am practicing more than anything else with the seeds I have at hand. I guess that I am interested in red or purple petioles, so I should probably purchase plants with those characteristics. I was just wondering if anyone has had especially good luck with any of the ones mentioned. Thanks
Pay attention to when things flower. I have some great hybridizing plants that I can't use because they bloom too late in my climate. For me, the plants should bloom in or before August so the seed has a couple of months to ripen, although I could bring flower scapes in doors and let them ripen in a vase. Anything that blooms late, is not very useful or extra work.
Yes, I've had a couple of years growing some of those.
1. Annabel Lee growing one year, doing fine even late in the season.
2. Atom Smasher did okay but not outstanding. I seem to do better with something at least in the small/medium range.
3. China Girl was new last year, and I was impressed with the really tall purple petioles. Growth was sort of like a caladium with smaller leaves atop the long stems....cannot wait to see her unfurl in about a month.
4. Funky Monkey....now, I really like this one. Late in our hot summer, it had bleached out the leaves, but it was still shaped nicely and not wilting. Which is saying a lot for our climate.
5. Purple Boots is tough, and I like it, been here since 2012, my first year of full-time hosta mania.
6. Scallion Pancakes...think I bought this for the name, but have been disappointed in it. Very ragged edges, mostly beatup looking. I'd look a JAWS instead. If you do not have it, you should consider this one, which I got from Naylor also. It is also developed by Alttara Scheer. Look at the pictures up in HostaLibrary.
7. Totally Twisted...now, this is a strong growing hosta! It is a very disorganized looking hosta if you look down into the plant and see the "fiddlesticks" of petioles going every which way. Mine developed a case of southern blight last year, at the height of its beauty, and I mourned for it--but then it recovered somehow and surprised the heck out of me. So I'm happy with this one and highly recommend it. I'd say it is a medium size.
without a breeding goal ... you are accomplishing nothing with your order.. in regard to breeding ..
other than buying a bunch of plants that will give a majority of green plants.. with a few yellow or blue thrown in ...
i personally know.. and love the boyz at naylor... and i am sure you will be pleased with your order ...
but you are not paying the real money you need to.. to buy some streaked mother plants ....
the boyz specialize in the newest and brightest ...
they do not.. carry.. all the old standard streakers that are the basis of a breeding program ...
i cant recall.. if you have been informed of the seed growing links on the hosta library page .... if not.. go look for it ...
i will yell ... IDENTIFY A GOAL ... AND BUY ACCORDINGLY ...
do you want to grow monster.. buy a large streaked mother..
mini.. a mini streaked mother ...
a medium with round leaves with blue as a base color.. a mother like that ...
it is on little use.. besides the sheer joy of it.. lol ... to just grow seeds from plants that will give you all green seedlings.. that basically look like momma in shape and form ... unless you just want a couple hundred green plants ...
and stay away from something like dorothy benedict.. as a newb ... simply because its heritage.. means .. if it lives.. lol.. that it will take 7 to 9 years.. for any of the kids to mature.. and frankly.. most of us.. dont have that attention span ...
look for a momma that will mature in about 3 years.. like most mediums...
ps: many transplants dont bloom the first year after planting ... dont worry about that.... and i would suspect.. that about 99% of hosta are fertile .... and that is without even looking at dons sterile list ... and what she said about trying to breed for smell.. as i can not get plantaginea to mature seed with its mid august flowering date.. most summers... they get frozen before the seed matures ....
Well, I submitted my first reply before all the other posts were up, did not read about using them for growing new seedlings. Oops. Yes, I am very interested in the offspring of fragrant hosta, and realize that is possible due to our long growing season with very late first frost and very early last frost. So my potential mamas can bloom as late as they want and the pods dry on the plant. I rely on OP (open pollination) and with mine in containers, I move the bloomers close together. I THINK that helps, but don't actually know.
It seems to me that if my mama plants were in the ground, I could put my potential pollen donor in a container and move it while it blooms adjacent to a blooming mama.
What I need to ask someone about pollination is, within a single POD, can there be varied pollens so that different seeds have different papas? Nothing is certain with OP except the mama.
Note that the 2014 edition of HOSTA FINDER is coming out this month I think, and it tells you where you can find various hosta. Take Don Rawson's list of streakers, compare it to his non-fertile list, and then see if you can find some hosta you like.....that fit your goals.
Here's what I know about the fertility of some of those. If I didn't mention it, I have no info to share.
Annabel Lee - fertile, but fussy accepting pollen
Atom Smasher - haven't used it, but Ron Livingston uses it extensively.
Celtic Uplands - Don Dean uses this one a lot.
China Girl - Grew seeds from this one for the first time this year. I really like the seedlings. This one will put red into the leaf surface.
Fleet Week - Great ruffled blue. Sets seed. Great pollen.
Funky Monkey - Fussy, but produces interesting seedlings. Reportedly, Altara uses this as a "bridge" plant to put red into plants without red. I haven't found it to do that (yet).
Hacksaw - Haven't used it, but I know others use it easily.
Purple Boots - very fertile both ways. Produces dark purple into the pets reliably.
Skylight - fertile both ways. Produces lots of blue wax in seedlings.
Just so you know Altara's plants can be difficult to set seed. I've used Annabelle Lee, Shimmy Shake, Funky Monkey with limited success. Try Beet Salad and mix it with other reds with different backgrounds if you want to add more red into your seedlings. Check out the web site below.
Below is a picture of China Girl x Painted Desert, a newly planted seedling.

H. 'Red Dragon' flowered well last year, I saved some pollen in the freezer. Somehow, after I pollinated 'Blue Lightning' with pollen of large blue and green ones I got worn out and had no good success with red pollen on yellow ones.
It is fun to have some good seedlings growing in the basement right now.
What a wealth of information! Thank you so much. I knew that I would get grief for not stating a hybridizing goal. I am just beginning, but I do know that I don't have a lot of fertile hostas in my garden. According to the Sterile list, I have 32 sterile hostas.
I do want to find breeder mamas that are streaked. I am just not sure where to go for these. I have my coupon from AHS so I think that I will get some fertile hostas that can bring out the red in the petioles.
Beverly- I had not thought about bloom times. In MN it is important. I will look them up before making a decision.
I think that getting a Hosta Finder is a good idea. It will probably be my next purchase.
I have recorded everyone's information and suggestions into my notebook. Thanks so much for your suggestions. I will look up beet salad.
Steve _ Mass- Thank you so much for the link to the red hosta board. WOW. There is so much out there on the internet to help people. I will be reading everything on it.
Ken- I will work on my developing my hybridizing goals. Right now my goal is to simply get seed to sprout and grow. I have some greenies coming up now and I am very excited about them. Some people have also been very kind and have sent me some streaker seeds to get me started. I don't want to start them until I practice with the greenies first. I appreciate all of your comments. Thanks again. Vicky
Vicky you have very nice list picked out. Here is what I have used from your list.
Atom Smasher:-very fertile but thin substance-would cross with a thicker substance hosta- have gotten very good pod set
Skylight: nice pod set, most seedlings had round leaves like the parent, got a nice yellow seedling of the mix- will need to cross with a different leaf shape to change leaf-nice powder blue has been passed on to a few streaked seedlings when used as a pollen parent
Hacksaw-very fertile, much the same as Atom Smasher
As for a streaked hosta, a few of the less expensive would be Christmas Tree Gala and Blue Lighting to name a ocuple. There are a few more on the market which are less expensive but the substance is very thin. Bill Silvers has CTG on his web page for sale. He will probably also be at the AHS convention in Iowa, so you woldnt have to pay shipping if you will be at the convention. He may even have more streaked hostas. These hostas may not bloom the first year.
In my opinion if I was to start over there would not be any streaked named hostas I would buy. Have had more luck using the seedlings I grew from getting seeds from other hybridizers on the auctions.
First Look Auction is coming up soon.
Good luck in your hybridizing program, There is not really a right or wrong where to go here. I started out growing Open Pollenated seeds and had no goal in mind, not sure I still do, mostly just have fun doing crosses and growing OP seeds and see what surprises come up in my seed cups!
Any questions please ask!
Here is a link that might be useful: Streaked Hostas by Bill Silvers
Trudy- thanks for your suggestions. I wrote down both Christmas Tree GAla and Blue Lightening in my hybrid notebook. I also looked up Bill Silvers site. It is very nice. I will be gong to the National Convention so I will look for his plants there.
Thanks to everyone for all of this great motivation. It is so much fun to create in the dirt!
Just passing on some knowledge I gained on this forum about seeds.
If you want some seeds to grow this year and a chance for some of them to be streakers, check out Doug Beilsteins place, Hosta Works. I bought some seeds from him and have some up that are very streaked. This is my first year growing seeds and it is great to have some interesting ones growing in the middle of winter. I will at least have some streaked plants to use in the future, if I get to hybridizing for myself.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hosta Works
Vicky, there will also be other vendors at the convention who will have streaked plants. After I mentioned Silvers, I realized vendors have not really made connections yet for the convention.
Steve nice shot by the way. China Girl passes on some nice genes.
Smithstudio, what nice looking streaked seelings, way to grow!

Obama compared to Robert Mugabe?
Barack Obama has been compared to a lot people, everyone from John F. Kennedy to Josef Stalin, but South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has a new one: Robert Mugabe. CNN reports:
"We're moving precipitously close to what I would call a savior-based economy," Sanford also said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.
The South Carolina Republican said such an economy is "what you see in Russia or Venezuela or Zimbabwe or places like that where it matters not how good your product is to the consumer but what your political connection is to those in power."
"That is quite different than a market-based economy where some rise and some fall but there's a consequence to making a stupid decision," Sanford said after pointing to the powers granted to the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve to help deal with the current economic crisis.

Ballpoint pen on white vinyl wallet
I accidentally got blue ballpoint pen on my daughterÂs white quilted vinyl wallet. ItÂs "my bad" so I need to get it out. So far I have tried rubbing alcohol, hairspray, WD-40, Goo Gone, Method cleaner, Bon-ami and Mr. Clean Magic eraser.
This is a soft kind of vinyl so IÂm afraid to try something too industrial on it. Any other ideas?
For what it's worth in terms of a future reference ball point pen or felt tip pen (ink) will come out of textiles if you immediately soak some milk into it and gently lift the stain with a cloth or sponge. But you've got to get to it right away. Sounds crazy but it really works! It also works on leather and suede (I've done it to skirts). If I were you I'd stop putting extra stuff on that vinyl. Vinyl does not react well to just about anything. Call it a day.
It's the only thing my daughter chose to buy for herself on a class trip to New York, so it's sentimental value to her outweighs it's wallet value. I said I'd try a little longer. I'm surprised but the vinyl looks totally untouched, unless the chemicals show their damage later.
I hate it when things like that happen. My dad got ink pen on my sons special outfit when he was 2. I was shopping a super high end store and found cute pants, shirt and fancy suspenders. Lucky for me it was on sale and the only thing I could afford there. $20.00! He wore it 2 times and then I had it layed out on the dryer, dad came home and set all of his stuff up there and the pen fell off his perm. marker. The outfit was toast.
Things like that happen. It wasn't intentional. It shouldn't have happened. So do you best but it may be a gonner at this point. Try a few more things because at least that way it may get cleaned. then check online and see if you can find another and order it for her. It won't be the same but at least it will be another one. Just my 2 cents.
Pimple cream will work. (Like Clearasil..or even the cheaper brands)
I work on vinyl dolls and it's a well known fact, that pimple cream will take ink out of vinyl. I've had to use it myself a few times. And one of my good friends got ink on her white vinyl purse. When I told her about the pimple cream, she didn't believe me, but tried it and was so surprised that it worked! lol
Cover the area thickly with the pimple cream and let it sit over night. In the morning wipe off and if there are still signs of the ink..cover it and let it sit again. It may take a few days..but I promise it will work. It pulls the ink stain right out of the vinyl.
Good luck!
This is a follow up. I wanted to share this in case someone with the same problem goes searching in the future. The acne cream worked! It was generic acne cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide. It took multiple applications. I put a ribbon directly on the marks using a toothpick. After the fourth application I could see it was definitely lighter. After that I applied it once a day and then just wet it twice a day afterward to reactivate the cream. I kept the wallet and the bottle in the kitchen so I would see it and remember to do it. It sounds like a lot of trouble to keep applying it, but it really wasnÂt. There is no trace left of the ink at all.
Thanks to all who helped!
My son just colored with ball-point pen on an original vinyl art deco couch. I used hand sanitizer which lifted the marks right up! Thanks for the tip!!!
Dianamo_1 genius! a damp Tesco carrier bag transferred ink (lots) onto lid of my new white vinyl ottoman!! i tried everything to shift it but it wouldn't budge. I read your post re pimple cream (i used Oxy) and it's now as good as new! amazing. I guess after many towels bleached by teenagers and their spot cream it makes perfect sense. Going to try it on an Orla Kiely bag with felt tip on it now. thank you :-)
The arm of a light beige leather chair was written on with a ball point pen by my 2 1/2 year old twins. Alcohol and hair spray did little but ........mold and mildew remover did the trick........got it all and didn't seem to phase the leather finish of the leather. I use it a lot here in New Orleans but was surprised to see it work on this.

Missouri Ash Trees in Jeopardy
If you haven't heard of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), please educate yourself (links below).
It's only a matter of time. It was discovered in Missoui on July 23, 2008 in Wayne county.
In Missouri, if you suspect you may have EAB in your ash trees, call the toll-free EAB Hotline: 1-866-716-9974, e-mail email@example.com, fill in the form at the Missouri Department of Conservation, or contact Collin Wamsley, State Entomologist, Missouri Department of Agriculture, 573-751-5505.
Close up of Emerald Ash Borer
Actual Size of Adult Emerald Ash Borer on a Penny
Adult Emerald Ash Borer Measured Against Ruler
Emerald Ash Borer Larvae
Emerald Ash Borer Larvae "D" Shaped Exit Hole
The adults emerge through the tree in distinctive and unique 1/8 inch D - shaped exit holes (other beetle leave round or oval exit holes).
Emerald Ash Borer Tunnel Damage
The larvae the burrow below the bark and begin feeding on the outer most ring of the tree (the cambium and phloem) which distributes the trees nutrients and water to the top and bottom of the tree. The S - shaped tunnels (or galleries) made by the larvae destroys the outer ring and the tree essentially starves.

Missouri Department of Conservation Video Pubic Service Announcements
Missouri Department of Conservation Blog
Emerald Ash Borer Found in Wayne County
Comprehensive Information on the Emerald Ash Borer including Migration Maps
Missouri State Parks Firewood Quarantine
University of Missouri Plant Management Network Journal
Missouri Landscape and Nursery Association
From reading the article below, it sounds like Emerald Ash Borers were brought to Missouri from campers bringing fire wood from out-of-state.
I didn't realize they were attracted by scent to stressed trees. Our trees must smell pretty yummy to them with all the ice storm damage we've had in the last couple years.
