1. Adult Toys
Are you ready for a quick math lesson? If the average couple has sex two to three times per week, they will have gotten randy over 1,500 times by their tenth anniversary. That's not necessarily a bad thing, unless 1,400 of those have been in the same place, using the same position and with the same twists, turns and tweaks.

The taboo of the escort industry is diminishing year after year. Once an industry frequented by men who had sworn themselves to secrecy, it's something that people are more open to speaking about nowadays. But what has caused this drastic change? The simple answer is love.
Whereas it may seem quite strange to combine the words love and escorts in the same statement, it truly is the answer to why the industry is one that has become more accepted by the men and women of London. This doesn't mean that the men are falling in love with the women who fulfill their needs, in fact, it has a whole different meaning, one that revolves around growth, and self improvement.
The vast majority of men who turn to escorts, do so in times of need. An incidence such as a break up that tugged on their heart strings in a way that left

Mod Podge or varnish on canvas-covered trunk?
I just acquired a WWII-era (I think) trunk that I intend to use as a coffee table. The exterior is covered in what appears to be painted canvas. The trunk is pretty dirty but I'm hesitant to clean it with soap or cleaning solution due to the canvas. When I vacuumed it with a brush attachment, it made some of the paint on the canvas come off.
Because I intend to use the trunk as a coffee table, I want to make sure it's reasonably clean so I can put my feet up on it. :)
I came up with the idea of using matte Mod Podge (or something similar) on the outside of the trunk to seal the canvas and prevent any more dirt or paint from coming off. Good idea or bad idea? If this is a bad idea, can anyone recommend a better course of action or product?
I wonder if maybe you should take this to the painting or woodworking forums and ask for advice. My impression of ModPodge is that it is not very durable and would not stand up to abrasion as well as some sealers. I also don't know how it would do over what is on there now -- maybe okay, but maybe not. The pros on the other forums might be able to point you to something that would do the job better.
However, I would worry that there might be oils or other contaminants on the surface that would repel any finish you put on. You may have to clean it more thoroughly to get a good coat to stick, which means you may lose some of the surface you're trying to keep.
I am wondering why you would want to put your feet on a such nice piece of decoration. Its a conversation piece.
That's exactly why I bought it, Jem - I thought it was beautiful conversation piece, not to mention because it was more than sturdy enough to support my feet! In my very small living space, I need my larger conversation pieces to be functional, and I do like to put my feet up sometimes. :) Thanks for the advice, I will head over to woodworking!

We're on a generic college campus, watching a very dowdy-looking Lana Lang climbing some stairs. And I'm not just saying that because she's useless. Oh, you got me. That is why I'm saying it. As she climbs up those stairs, we see a sign for "Central Kansas A&M." They have an awesome Master's program in fertilizer. She sees her estranged boyfriend Jason. "What are you doing here?" he asks, keeping his hands firmly in his jacket pockets. Lana sighs and says it's nice to see him, too. But he didn't say -- oooohhhh. Sarcasm. Jason says he didn't expect to see her on campus. Lana says she didn't expect him to say he needed more space and walk out on her. Ooh! It's like she takes what he says and twists it around to make a point. She's practically Voltaire! Jason squints into the distance. Somewhere on campus, a professor just got sucked under a tractor. Lana asks what's really going on here. I do this every week, so please allow me: absolutely fucking nothing. Jason says he just doesn't think Lana is ready for a relationship "like that." Like...what? Lana is confused. Jason asks if she wants to talk about this now. No, she just drove up here for the asparagus seminar series. He says he has to go. Lana scoffs, Napoleon Dynamite-style: "GAW!" The sun shines right at the camera. Ow. Lana is left to sulk in her long white coat. I'm glad we got that crane shot there, because it really makes me feel Lana's isolation. Good show, there, crane-operator dude.
An ice rink, shot from above. Someone is twirling, twirling, twirling. The ice skater twirls off screen as the camera comes down to ice level. Kids in helmets skate around recklessly as Clark Kent clumsily tries to keep his balance on skates while strummy, "MmmBop"-like crap-rock engulfs the rink. KentFan skates up behind Clark and loudly says, "Superpowers can't save you now, Clark Kent." She spins and skates backward as Clark says, "I'm good, I'm good." Are you really, Clark? He skates forward a bit and catches up with her as she holds out her hands. She skates back next to him and advises him to bend his knees and glide. KentFan, in her fluffy white coat, says she's glad Clark called her; she didn't think he would after their last date. Clark says she was sick then. He understands. KentFan says she doesn't. She remembers feeling angry and alone, but now it's like watching a movie that wasn't really her. I'm going to just say it: I like KentFan's character. She has tons more chemistry with Clark than Lana ever did, and to some degree, more than Lois has. (Not more than Chloe, but that's a whole other issue.) So, I know things go awry here later, but I think the actress playing her does a great job and makes KentFan both appealing and sad. So, kudos. Clark says maybe that wasn't her: "Maybe this is the real you." She blushes at that. Clark takes a tumble on his ass and pulls KentFan down on top of him. She laughs. The two of them hug on the ice. "Good thing you've got buns of steel," she says. Clark smiles and touches her face. KentFan looks up and sees creepy-ass Evil Peter Horton staring down toward the rink. She tells Clark that she's turning into a Popsicle. She gets up and helps pull him upright. Clark says he does have heat vision. KentFan says she'd settle for hot chocolate. She excuses herself to freshen up. Clark watches her go.

Error Control Strategies for WiMAX Multi-Hop Relay Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Next generation wireless system such as advanced WiMAX (i.e. IEEE802.16m) and LTE advanced will fully embrace multi-hop relay architecture. The conventional Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) and the more recent Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) are two simple yet highly effective error control techniques designed for single hop system. Nevertheless, extending them in a synergistic manner to support multi-hop relay networks is by no means a trivial undertaking. This paper explores a variety of multi-hop error control techniques such as hop-by-hop ARQ, 2-link ARQ and end-to-end ARQ, and various possible combinations with HARQ.

We have room for only one more (must be a male) in the complimentary Staff House Rooms, but more can be accommodated in the campsite.
Welcome to another year of V-camp at Ghost Ranch. V-camp is for Volunteer camp. It is Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon, May 15-17, 2015. Members of the NMPCA are invited to the ranch and given complementary room and board in exchange for work done to maintain Pot Hollow.
Pot Hollow is where the Ranch's ceramic facility is located. We usually do three to four hours of work on Friday afternoon, all day on Saturday and again on Sunday until around 4PM. During this time we will do some sort of firing which will be announced enough ahead of time for participants to make pieces and bring them along to be included.
V-Camp is a great time for members to get to know one another and to have an exchange of ideas while working to maintain a wonderful facility. The mission statement of the NMPCA is to promote education in the ceramic arts, and by maintaining this site we are contributing to the well being of this magical educational facility, making sure it is kept in good working condition for all future workshops and seminars.
This year we will be working on the plan for a sculpture trail, installing the hood over the trolley kiln, begin writing a manual for maintenance for all the equipment. I would also like to start writing a history of Pot Hollow and so if any of you have stories you would like to contribute, I would be happy to receive them. It might be best to email your contributions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
There will be plenty of cleaning and organizing to do as well. We will figure out some sort of a firing to spice things up a bit. Tomas Wolff has agreed to do a session like the one he did last year: Story Telling in Clay, that will be a draw for people on the ranch on Saturday afternoon.
Space is limited so sign up early.
If you have questions or if you don't want to register here, call Barbara Campbell, the event coordinator, at (575) 581-4430 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
You will be contacted about special items to bring, but in general work gloves, work clothes, dust masks for cleanup and sturdy shoes, rakes, shovel, pick-ax, trowel.
Saturday, May 16th is the Ghost Ranch Bluegrass Festival concert, which adds greatly to the fun. (Bring a small contribution to the concert.)

Stephanie Berghoff
President and Co-Founder
A Westchester native who now lives on the Upper East Side, Stephanie caught the food bug early in her career. She graduated from Syracuse University with a BS in Hospitality and Restaurant Management, and worked in events for a trade organization for three years before shifting to restaurant PR for hall PR and KBHall for four years. In 2009, she co-founded Culintro with Alina Munoz.
- Favorite restaurant in NYC: ABC Kitchen and Locanda Verde
- One kitchen tool I can't live without: electric juicer
- Favorite after-work drink: Anything with bubbles. I love carbonated cocktails and Manhattans.
- Any foods you won't eat: Salmon
Sarah Campbell
Managing Partner, Director of Business Development
Sarah grew up in Westchester before receiving her BA from Trinity College and then a Masters at the University of Southern California. She worked at mcgarrybowen advertising for seven years then as a producer working with brands such as Kraft Foods, InBev, Marriott Hotels, Verizon and The Wall Street Journal. She partnered with Alina and Stephanie in early 2012, and currently splits her time between New York and San Francisco, overseeing the growth of Culintro into new markets. Her perfect meals are the tasting menus as Torrisi in New York and Quince in San Francisco, and she believes that that "every meal should always end with pudding."
- Favorite restaurant in NYC/SF: Cotogna and Foreign Cinema (favorite brunch) in SF and Locanda Verde and Blue Ribbon in NY
- One kitchen tool I can't live without: Does a corkscrew count? Sadly, I don't cook, I just eat.
- Favorite after-work drink: Negronis in the summer and Tap 357 Maple Rye Whisky in the winter because it's Canadian, sweet, and boozy, like my parents.
- Any foods you won't eat: It used to be uni but then I went to Brushstroke and they converted me. Sometimes I get offended by parsley.
Laura Englander
Operations Manager
Laura grew up in the suburbs of the great city of Boston, received her BS in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology from Emory University in Atlanta, and moved to New York in 2007 upon graduating. She landed a job in Pharmaceutical Advertising doing medical research with the intent of eventually going to medical school, but the NYC restaurant scene, as well as a blossoming love of cooking, stole her away. She began working with Culintro as an intern in September of 2012, and now works full-time as the Operations Manager, handling all matters related to the job board, and more! Her perfect meals include cooking, while simultaneously drinking, with friends; anything on a brunch menu; and dips for dinner.
- Favorite restaurant in NYC: Fonda
- One kitchen tool I can't live without: tie between a Spoonula and lemon squeezer
- Favorite after-work drink: If I'm feeling fancy, a negroni. If I'm not, bud light.
- Any foods you won't eat: This is an odd list, but here goes - I despise lychees, pearl onions, and sun-dried tomatoes. And ketchup most of all. Other than that, anything goes.
Amanda Dell
New York Manager
Amanda is a native New Yorker who has held front of house positions at some of New York's most celebrated restaurants, including Gramercy Tavern, Maialino and Ai Fiori. A well-known insider within the New York culinary industry, she has amassed a wealth of contacts with some of the most highly regarded restaurant chefs and managers. In addition to her work at Culintro, Amanda has lent her skills and experience to some of the food industry's most important mega-events, including Meatopia and Taste of the Nation. As a certified NYC food tour guide she has organized tours and led groups to top restaurants and food outlets in the New York City. Her ideal meal is a backyard BBQ with friends and family, where she can tuck into a medium-rare burger with cheddar cheese, cooked on a charcoal grill.
- Favorite restaurant in NYC: Casa Mono One kitchen tool
- I can't live without: wooden spoon
- Favorite after-work drink? Just one?! Negroni.
- Any foods you won't eat? Fast food, except for fries.
Sasha Bernstein
San Francisco Manager
Sasha moved to California after graduating from Skidmore College to pursue a career in food and events. Starting with Esquire magazine coordinating events, she moved on to serve as celebrity Chef Cat Cora's assistant, and then into food writing for 7×7 magazine. In 2008, she joined the launch team for San Francisco's food and wine festival, SF Chefs. For the next four years, as program director of the festival, she oversaw marketing, PR, partnerships and sponsorships on behalf of Andrew Freeman & Co. Sasha had the honored opportunity to collaborate with the outstanding chefs, restaurateurs, media and inspiring personalities that support the Bay Area restaurant community. She also built a strong devotion to the missions of ingredient freshness, environmental responsibility and community camaraderie that characterizes the Bay Area. The admiration for the industry born out of this experience led her to the incredible team at Culintro, with whom she currently manages the San Francisco outpost.

Project Type: Make a Project
Bead Type: Shell

Bead Project Type: Earrings
Difficulty Level: Beginner
- 5mm hemp cording
- Two cowrie shells with drilled holes
- Four small wooden beads
- Two ear wires
- A pair of scissors
- A ruler
- A clipboard
- Measure and cut two 12" strands of hemp. Fold the strands in half and thread one end through an ear wire loop. Center the strands on the ear wire.
- Clip your ear wire to the clipboard. Separate the strands into three groups: two strands will be in the center and be referred to as the core strands. The two single strand groups will be at either side and be referred to as the working strands.
- Make two square knots. To make a square knot, take the left strand and bring it over the core strands, forming an "L" shaped loop on the left. Take the right strand and bring it over the left strand, under the core strands, and through the loop on the left. Pull to tighten. Now take the right strand and bring it over the core strands. Take the left strand and bring it over the right strand, under the core strands, and through the loop on the right. Pull to tighten. You've just completed your first square knot.
- Make a reverse square knot. To make this knot, just replace the working strands with the core strands and tie a square knot.
- String a bead on both of the working strands. Make a square knot, a reverse square knot, and two more square knots.
- Tie an overhand knot with your working strands. String the shell on your core strands. Tie a double knot with your working strands and core strands.
- Tuck away the hemp cording in your shell and trim excess cording. Repeat all steps for the second earring.

Arrests and detentions are up, and security officials have at times barred tourists from the square. June 4 is also 'Internet maintenance day,' with many sites being taken down for 'fixes.'
The former education minister was detained today after emerging from hiding to urge a return to civilian rule. The military has summoned over 200 journalists, academics, and businessmen.
Tuesday's car bombings devastated a market in Jos, Nigeria, where Christians and Muslims have clashed in the past. Boko Haram recently abducted hundreds of schoolgirls.
The minister's visit indicates Germany and the West's increasing concern over Ukraine after controversial referendums on independence held Sunday in the country's east.
Boko Haram threatens to sell hundreds of girls it kidnapped last month. The World Economic Forum on Africa opens in Abuja Wednesday, drawing even more global attention to the crisis.
Northeast Brazil used to be known for poverty and migration south. But locals like Maria Joelma da Silva, who the Monitor first met in 2008, are redefining the region.
Mexico's lower house unanimously voted to change a military code that gave the military courts jurisdiction over any crimes committed by on-duty soldiers.
The European Union said it would freeze assets of 15 military and political officials in Russia and Ukraine. The move comes as tensions escalate in eastern Ukraine.
Russia's foreign minister said an attack on Russian citizens "is an attack on the Russian Federation." Ukraine said its troops retook a city hall and repelled an assault by militiamen last night.
Brazil's favelas are often associated with violence and crime, but that's only part of the story.
Senate hearings on mounting allegations of corruption at the state-run oil company have put Brazil's ruling party in an uncomfortable spotlight. While attitudes have been slow to change, Brazilians are starting to challenge a culture of impunity.
The Mais Medicos program has brought thousands of doctors from Spain, Russia, Cuba, and elsewhere to underserved regions in Brazil.
Income inequality has bred gaps in public health in Brazil where a community-based program first piloted in the 1980s now offers health services and advice to those most in need.
NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe warns that Russia could 'accomplish its objectives in between 3 and 5 days' if ordered.
North Korea fired missiles into disputed waters Monday, raising tensions on the peninsular. The discovery of a suspected North Korean drone points to increased surveillance in the area.
North Korea launched two mid-range ballistic missiles off its eastern coast as Japan and South Korea took a first step toward mending strained ties.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said the move should help Thailand's image after months of often-violent street protests against her government, which faces legal challenges to its tenure.
Hamas is an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which has been declared a terrorist organization and pushed almost completely underground.
A key political ally of Venezuela's embattled leader expressed sharp – and rare – criticism of the use of force to quell protests.

How Can States Use College Entrance Tests for NCLB Accountability?
Some states are trying out ACT and SAT in their accountability systems, but there are limits to this approach.
Some states are trying out ACT and SAT in their accountability systems, but there are limits to this approach.
Federal and state accountability must do more than just hold schools' feet to the fire on student outcomes, civil rights groups say in a letter to President Barack Obama.
Tennessee recently delayed the use of its new common-core aligned state tests, and Gov. Bill Haslam announced that the state will begin a public vetting of the standards.
The president's new thinking on tests seems to put his Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, in a pretty awkward position.
Civil rights and advocacy groups want the U.S. Department of Education to hold states renewing their No Child Left Behind Act waivers accountable for low-income students, minorities, English-language learners, and students with disabilities.
The Sooner State stands a very good chance of getting its waiver back. It's just a question of when.
Now that Oklahoma's institutions of higher education have given its standards the OK, the Sooner State has suddenly found itself in a position to regain NCLB flexibility.
Massachusetts faces no consequences from its decision to let districts choose which test to give next spring, but when Colorado explored the possibility of doing the same, the U.S. Department of Education gave it no opening.
Many of the folks originally in charge of major initiatives, including Race to the Top, NCLB waivers, and School Improvement Grants, have left the building.
Jim Shelton, No. 2 at the Education Department, prepares to step down from his post.

"Music is what I do," says Granger. "If I can help someone get lost in the moment of a song long enough to forget the worries of the world, or long enough to remember what's most important, then I've done my job."
Since his early teens, the native Texan has been writing, singing and honing his craft as a musician. Granger taught himself to play the guitar at 14, using the booklet inside the case stashed in his closet which showed him where to put his fingers.
Granger's musical contributions are not limited to exotic travels or remote locations. At 19, his work paid off by landing him a deal with EMI Music Publishing in Nashville. Granger followed his dream to what would be a five-year stay in Tennessee. "That experience at 19 years old was critical in developing who I am today as an artist," says Granger. "I tried to soak in the craft of songwriting like a sponge from the older guys I was paired with. I credit so much of my learning to those mentors."
Granger signed a new publishing contract with Universal South recording artist Phil Vassar in 2004 and returned home to the Lonestar State in order to ground himself as a Texas artist. A former member of the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M, Granger re-enrolled at Texas A&M University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in between three album releases and performances across the state.
In 2006 he released "Livin' Like A Lonestar," which features "Colorblind," his first single and first top 10 on the Texas Music Chart. To develop his signature sound, Granger records and produces his albums in his own home studio with his own band. "The freedom to take our time in the studio with my own band is priceless," says Granger.
In appreciation for his alma mater, Granger wrote "We Bleed Maroon," in 2007 which has been adopted as a modern day anthem for Aggie fans. Proceeds from the song go towards a scholarship fund for incoming students that show exceptional spirit. The song can be heard at all Texas A&M home football games, while the video plays on the jumbotron. "We Bleed Maroon" reached a new high, literally, when it was played on the Space Shuttle Discovery at the request of Astronaut Michael Fossum, a fellow Aggie, and the STS-124 Crew in 2008.
The reputation continued to grow with the 2009 launch of the highly anticipated "Don't Listen to the Radio"--ironically titled, considering it received more airplay than any other previously released album by Granger Smith. The title single held tight to its spot at #5 on the Texas Music Chart and remained in the top ten for 14 weeks. The follow up single, "Gypsy Rain" soon became the band's 3rd top 10 radio single in a row.
Smith showed a softer side of his songwriting when he released "I Almost Am" to radio in Feb of 2010. His then fiance, Amber (married in the same month) was featured in the music video which aired on GAC and CMT that year. The upbeat summertime single, "Superstitious 17" was followed by "5 More Minutes", written about his grandfather who was a pilot in WWII. It released in the fall of 2010 and proved to be one of the most sentimental, heartfelt songs on the year. The music video begged to ask the question, "If you had 5 more minutes with someone you love, what would you say? What would you do?"
2011 is proving once again to be the biggest year yet. With another album in store entitled "Poets and Prisoners," we will once again take a journey with Granger with a dynamic new record from one of Texas' favorite artists. Heart touching melodies, fresh and honest lyrics to fall in love with- all brought to you through warm lead vocals, soaring guitars, funky mandolin & thematic piano highlights. Once again, this project comes straight from Smith's home studio and features all of his road players.
Granger is an adept presence – on stage and through the speaker – and with his continued rise in popularity, he will soon be a household name in music. But Granger insists he will always keep pushin' the pedal.
"I think that, five years down the road, I'll probably still be striving for something else that I'm not quite getting. I'm always looking towards the next step."
Missouri born singer/songwriter, Anthony Wilkerson brings an exiting new energy to the face of modern country music. Blending his love of traditional country and new age country music inventing a sound all his own. Anthony is in in the studio working on his debut EP "Nights Back" set to release in 2015. Anthony has had the privilege of opening for some of Country's top talent such as Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Granger Smith/Earl Dibbles jr, and many others. Anthony states "These guys helped me reach the fans I had been longing for". When Anthony Wilkerson hits the stage there is no doubt why he was offered such opportunity's, bringing an electric personality and a good time attitude he will have you singing along by the end of the night. Be on the look out for rising country artist Anthony Wilkerson as he makes his way to your city.

Where have all the alpines gone?
Here, I want to ask this question, and I am illustrating it through the generous donation of pictures by Harry Jans, but I do not get round to talking about him 'til the very end. Harry is, you could say, the light at the end of the tunnel.
When I was growing up, alpines and rock gardens were a big thing. There were various things every serious gardener had to have, and a rockery was one of them. For a plant-mad teenager, helping my father build a rockery was a thrilling project. I remember studying closely a magazine pull-out special on how to layer the rocks, for stability as much as naturalism. My dad had taken very early retirement and spend an awful lot of his time in the garden. We moved to a town in Kent in 1968 and I remember him building a whole series of low rockeries, using retaining walls made out of old paving slabs – clearly he must have sweet-talked someone in the local council for these.
My first independent venture here was a 'peat garden', again something many serious gardeners used to have, before peat became so politically-incorrect. Actually, for us in Sevenoaks, it made sense, as the soil is so poor and sandy that it is rhododendron and ericacous plant paradise, without having to add much to it. I remember my first independent trip to a local rock plant nursery, to buy plants. There were then quite a lot of nurseries in the south-east of England which sold alpines, peat plants and other choice, slow-growing plants. I remember this one was called Robinsons, and I remember being surprised at what a mess it was (I understood better why, when I came to run my own nursery many years later). I remember Mr. Robinson wrenching the weeds out of the pots of the plants I had bought. Another was W.E.Th. Ingwersen's, down a long track on the edge of the estate that William Robinson once owned in Sussex. The son kept the business going long enough for it to coincide with my own modest nursery, and I remember him coming to RHS flower shows in London, plants packed into an old camper van, a few years later he gave up the business.
But, where have all the alpines gone? Last year, I decided I would try to research some in order to evaluate plants for possible use on small-scale green roofs. And could I find a nursery? Eventually I got them all from Potterton's Nursery in Lincolnshire, a very long way from home. There are a couple of others, but only a fraction of the number that there used to be.
I was well aware that rockeries were thoroughly out of fashion, but it took a while for me to realise just how much they have taken so many alpines with them. One thing which brought it home to me was reading the autobiography of Lawrence Hills, the founder of what is now called Garden Organic. Hills had started out as a specialist propagator of alpines, and he was clearly a very busy man, churning out vast numbers of plants – this was back in the 1930s. A skilled propagator was clearly someone who would have no problem in finding a job.
Rockeries and alpines had come into fashion in the late 19th century and had something of a heyday in the interwar years. Travelling in Switzerland and Austria was one of the spurs for this. Germany too went through a rock garden craze at the same time. Grand rockeries were quite simply, a status symbol for wealthy gardeners. Expensive they may have been to build and maintain, but they would have been cheaper than the greenhouses full of (mostly) orchids which had been the previous way to show off your combination of wealth, status and good taste. The ever-expanding middle classes went in for them too, so the market for plants was clearly enormous. With the demise of the rockery, there has been a massacre of plant availability. I am in the almost-final stages of writing a plant reference book right now, which highlights history in cultivation; one of the things which I am realising is just how many 'alpine' type plants have vanished from general cultivation.
Back in the day, when I had my nursery, which was 1985 -1993 (not very long I know, but I rapidly realised this was no way to make a living!), I started off doing a mix of hardy perennials and alpines. I had calculated (wrongly) that a thriving local branch of the Alpine Garden Society would be good customers. I also realised quite quickly that the whole concept of the alpine had come down in the world; for many garden centre managers, and customers, it meant something which could be shoved into a 9cm pot and sold for 99p. Now, even a great many of the 'small but cheap because it spreads quickly' type of alpine have disappeared.
What the Alpine GardenSociety did do very effectively was have shows, indeed it still does and has an excellent online encyclopaedia. Growers would turn up with pots of plants, grown to a kind of unnatural perfection. Such as Primula allioni or Dionysia or Androsace species grown in perfect hemispheres so covered in flower you could hardly see the leaves. The shows were competitive, and maybe it was this competitive element which brought out an odd kind of underlying nastiness which is generally rare in the garden world. I remember one local show secretary being a particularly aggressive character who once reduced a nurserywoman to tears over some misdemeanour or other.
I find the disappearance of the alpine sad. These are often exquisitely beautiful plants, often not at all difficult to grow if a few basic needs are met, and remarkably well-adapted to that obsession of the garden media industry – the small garden (yes, I am writing a small garden book at the moment, for my sins (was we often say in Britain), and no, since you ask, there are no alpines in it). But how do you grow alpines if you do not build an unfashionable rockery, and do not want to grow them in pots like the AGS gardeners with their travelling mini botanic gardens? This conundrum appears to have so defeated the British garden community that they have given up on alpines altogether.
Years ago, I spotted the answer. In, of all places the one country in Europe that lacks rock. Holland. In fact I remember actually sploshing through a minor flood to admire the wonderful sculptural rock gardens built at Utrecht Botanical Gardens by Wiert Nieuman. These had been built out of scrap building materials, with plants squigged into the cracks. Perfect drainage, which is requirement number one, and the possibility of putting all the sun-lovers on the south side, the shade lovers (like Ramonda myconi, the Balkan answer to the African Violet) on the north side and those that like a little bit of sun on the east and west sides. Problem solved.
Harry Jans' is a leading Dutch grower of alpines, I'm showing his garden here - he uses a lot of tufa but artfully arranged in a completly different way to the old-fashioned rockery. Time to re-think alpine growing in a sculptural and design-led way and start growing these amazing plants once again.

I write this blog unpaid (of course) and try to do two postings a month, to try to provide the garden, wildflower and plant-loving community with information, inspiration and ideas. Keeping it coming is not always easy to fit into a busy working life. I would very much appreciate it if readers would 'chip in' (as we say in England) and provide a little financial support. After all, you pay for magazines and books, and it is only for historical reasons that the internet is free. Some money coming in will help me to improve quality and frequency, and to start to provide more coherent access to hard information, which I know is what a lot of you really want. So – please donate now!! You can do this through PayPal using email address: email@example.com
Thank you!
And thank you too to the folk who have contributed so far.********

garage door opener remote
I have a craftsman 1/2HP GDO model 139.53964SRT, with 2 remotes model 139.53681B, and 3 button premium control panel, and remote keyless 4 digit keypad. All Purchased new and together on 6/2003. Both remotes lost range and acted up within 1-2 weeks of each other, I thought the batteries may be old, they were both replaced. I have tried reprogramming the remotes per instructions in my manual, but no success. The manual says with the door closed to press and hold the button on the remote, press and hold the light button on the door control, press and hold the door control push button - the lights on the opener should flash once when it has learned the code, mine never flashes. I have tried this procedure unsuccessfully with both remotes. I have also held the SRT button for 6 seconds to erase all remote control codes prior to performing the above procedure with no success.
Both the keyless 4 digit pad and premium control panel both operate normally. Only the remotes do not function.
Any ideas?
I need help with my sears craftsman garage door opener. I cannot get my remotes and keyless entry pad to work. I can get the keyless to work but when I program the remotes the keyless stops working and vice versa. If I program the remotes the keyless stops working. I have tried wiping out all the codes but nothing is working can you please help. Thanks.
debbie further down this same page you will find "Remote & Keyless Entry pad problems." They were having the same problem as you. Maybe it will help.

EPM presents a weekly rundown of critical reads from around the web, along with commentary by EPM senior editors. This week, we look at stories from Pacific Standard, Fortune, and Vox about football-related brain injuries, Walmart's latest foray into medical marketing, and quality-based pay for healthcare providers.
In July, Emergency Physicians Monthly published an editorial letter spelling out – and challenging – a recent gag order placed by ACEP on incoming council leaders. The rule, likely created in response to Greg Henry's plan to interview each incoming ACEP president, declared that "Communications and/or interviews regarding candidacy in emergency medicine newsletters or publications other than those published by ACEP are prohibited."
Dr. Debra Perina lives a double life. Her "day job" is Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director of the Prehospital Care division at the University of Virginia. In this capacity she has risen to national leadership, serving as a past president of ABEM and CORD. She was recently elected to the Board of Directors of ACEP. Dr. Perina's second life is as a state appointed medical examiner. In that capacity, she responds to the scene of unexpected deaths, decides manner of death, and determines whether there is a need for an autopsy or other forensic evidence collection. Perina's two lives began to intersect several years ago when, as a medical examiner, she began to see a troubling trend.
It is a Friday evening in September and you are notified that EMS is bringing in a 17-year-old athlete who sustained a head and neck injury while playing high school football.
EPM presents a weekly rundown of critical reads from around the web, along with commentary by EPM senior editors. This week, we look at stories from the New York Times, the BBC, and CNN about the consequences of making rushed diagnoses, the ebola outbreak in West Africa, and an ebola vaccine that's about to enter human trials.
Amid the worst outbreak of the Ebola virus in recorded history, and with the second infected American scheduled to arrive in Atlanta tomorrow, there have been concerns that the disease could spread in the United States.
In this new weekly series, EPM will curate a must-read list of medical links from around the web, along with the comments and analysis of our executive editorial team.
On June 11, EPM Editor-in- Chief and renowned educator Judith Tintinalli took to the stage in Hong Kong to address the 2014 International Conference on Emergency Medicine (ICEM).
It's strange calling this a season finale, because it's only been an 8-episode summer run, and nearly every episode has had the kind of stunts associated with finales.
You've raised $81 million in investments and your physician membership now exceeds that of the AMA. What's next? If you're Doximity it's time to dream big. This physician social networking powerhouse is setting its sights on real- time care coordination and health interoperability.

The tag said only Sarracenia ,and it looks like it's some Sarracenia leucophylla hybrid.
Can anyone tell me how often I can expect a new pitcher? I can cee a little pointy thingy on one of the sides of the plant but I'm not sure if it's a new pitcher or something else.
New pitchers can take a few weeks to grow in. It is all according to the amount of light the plant gets, how warm the weather is, and what species it is. My S. hybrids take about 2-3 weeks to fully produce new pitchers. Thos epitchers will last for months, so their is no rush to make more for these plants unlike the speedy growth found in sundews.

Minnie, I was wondering about you. I hadn't seen you in a while, and wondered if you were still around the home site. Good to see you posting again. So many left after Spike started charging, but some of the 'older' ones are straggling back in. I know you were still here during that time, but was starting to miss you. Welcome back!
