A Change of Pace
The sunrise casts its light beautifully
My favorite permanent piece of artwork within the
As many of you are aware, our duty as the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens horticulture interns is to rotate among horticulture staff members to experience what they do on a daily basis. Each of the staff members has an assigned area of the Garden that they regularly maintain. Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of working with Patty Robbins and had quite the change of scenery compared to my previous weeks. Patty is in charge of keeping the Haney Hillside Garden and the Vayo Meditation Garden looking in tip-top shape. Since these gardens are located off the main campus, it gave me a chance to truly appreciate the beautiful woodlands that surround the property.
It has gotten to that time of year where it seems like all we do is weed and deadhead. While it is great upkeep for the Garden, it can become very tedious work to do day in and day out. The nice thing about being with Patty for the week was getting to do something other than weeding and deadheading. Some of her daily duties include cleaning the water features, sweeping off the vast amounts of stonework in her garden, and raking the paths to make them look as pristine as ever. Being the overly organized person that I am, it felt amazing to tidy up the garden on a daily basis and see what a difference a little cleaning up can do.
If you ask me, the Haney Hillside Garden is a very underrated part of the garden. Some may just view it as the path that will take them to see the water or the trail that leads to the Fairy House Village. I, however, have developed a new-found appreciation for this forested area. The hillside winds itself in a zigzag-like pattern, and at every turn there is something new and exciting to see. Whether a bubbling water feature, stone benches or even the beautiful chiseled orb (seen at right), there is far too much to be seen in this garden to pass it by.

The Smell of Success
Me inspecting one of our composting display setups.
|Fellow intern Kristin Neill posing next to our facility compost pile to show scale. You can deduce the high nutrient content of the compost by the massive pumpkin growing on the top!
Deep in the heart of our jungle here at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens there is a mammoth-like mound of vegetative waste. At first when you approach its base you are instantly dwarfed in comparison and an eerie sensation washes over you, but this feeling soon morphs to curiosity as you marvel the pile and interpret its purpose. You see, this heap of decaying material will soon be used to supplement life, illustrating the irrefutable beauty of nature's intrinsic design. In horticulture, we call the product of this naturally occurring process of decomposition "compost."
Composting is the rapid breakdown of organic materials by soil organisms. This process can heat the pile up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit or more, which kills off many diseases and weed seeds and helps control odors. After consuming the organic materials, these organisms can reduce the volume of a pile by two-thirds resulting in fertile compost that we can then incorporate into our soil. Compost is beloved in horticulture as soil amendment because of its ability to improve soil structure and fertility by allowing the soil to hold more air, moisture, and soluble minerals.
Compost may be phenomenal as a soil amendment, but it does have its downfalls when used in excess. In the past, here at CMBG, we have "top dressed" our plant beds every spring with a mulch (containing compost) called "Nutrimulch." Consistent application of this mulch has increased the pH of many of our garden beds making them more alkaline and less favorable to some of our most valued specimens (such as our Rhododendron and Blueberry collections). We have begun to correct this issue by applying organic sulfur (to beds containing acidic soil loving plants) and switching to a product called "SuperHumus," for our yearly spring mulching.
I implore you to experience the wonder of composting in your own yard (if you haven't already) but I also understand that this process is rather slow and may not produce as much mulch needed for your entire yard. If you need a substantial amount of quality compost I suggest you check out this link.
-Montana Williams, Pearson Horticulture Intern (August 8, 2013)
Signage in our Lerner Garden of the Five Senses gives excellent directions on how to construct your own compost pile:
1. Evenly Layer the "Browns and Greens"
- Browns- dead leaves, straw, wood or bark chips, twigs, non-colored paper and nutshells
- Greens- grass clippings and green leaves and stems, vegetables scraps from the kitchen, and coffee grounds
- Farm-animal manures are also very effective, if available.
- Avoid- human or pet wastes, colored paper, dairy products, meats, fats and greases, coal ashes, or diseased plant wastes. Fireplace ashes can be used in moderation.
2. Aerate the Pile
- The more air that gets into the pile, the faster the pile will compost.
- The best was to get air in is to turn or flip the pile with a pitchfork or tractor every few months.
- Poorly aerated piles smell bad and produce inferior compost.
3. Keep the Pile Moist but Not Wet
- Pre-moisten brown materials if possible to prevent them from sucking up all the water needed for composting.
- It takes 1-2 yeas for the pile to "finish" (be ready to use).
- "Finished" compost should be loose, crumbly and dark.
- Larger piles compost faster because they trap more heat (aim for a pile at least 6 feet wide and tall to start with
Island Adventures
|My favorite view from White Head.
|The whole island has beautiful
views such as this!
Here in the horticulture department of Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, it may sometimes seem like all our staff does is work work work. While we love maintaining and keeping the gardens beautiful, we sometimes get an opportunity we can't refuse. Yesterday, our unlikely opportunity lead the entire horticulture staff on a day trip to Monhegan Island. The morning drive to New Harbor to board the ferry was a foggy one and we were worried it would put a damper on our day. Luckily, the fog had burnt off by the time the island came into view and we were in for the most beautiful day I've seen in Maine to date.
As many of you know, Monhegan is well known for its scenic vistas and endless hiking trails. Being the naive Midwesterner who's never been on a "real" hike before, I figured we would be walking up some small hills on very well-preserved trails. I definitely was in for a rude awakening. We were hiking up huge boulders, climbing steep inclines, sidestepping all the large tree roots and doing our best not to slip on the slick rocks. I half expected everyone to be going somewhat slower because of these precarious conditions – wrong again! Everyone on the horticulture staff, regardless of age, was keeping the same (and rather brisk) pace throughout the day. Because of our quicker-than-usual pace, we got to see many more beautiful sites than the average day-visitor would get to see. Just looking at the pictures doesn't do it justice; I would highly recommend planning a trip and hiking the trails for yourself.
In addition to hiking until our legs were sore, we experienced many other beautiful areas of Monhegan. We took a captivating walk through the Cathedral Woods, which the horticulture interns decided looked like something out of the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings movies. We got to see the entire island from the very top of the Monhegan lighthouse and learn the interesting history behind it. The element that was most interesting to us, though, was seeing all the vegetation on the island and how it differed from the Gardens' manicured plantings. A few of the blooming plants we encountered on the island were Trifolium arvense (rabbit's foot clover), Epilobium angustifolium (fireweed), Platanthera grandiflora (purple fringed orchis) and Euphrasia nemorosa (eyebright). Even though we were all utterly exhausted by the end of the day, it was a trip that I'm sure none of us will ever forget.

Reconciling with Nature

Polygonatum biflorum, Maine's native
This week, fellow intern Kristin Neill and I had the pleasure of working with one of our most artistic staff members, Diane Walden. Diane is the staff horticulturist responsible for the Burpee Kitchen Garden, the native plantings around the Bosarge Family Education Center, some of the flower arrangements in the Visitor Center and Kitchen Garden Café, and the majority of the potted containers throughout our grounds. In addition to assisting her throughout her typical everyday tasks, we took on Diane's assignment to take complete responsibility for keeping the floral arrangements fresh and maintained so that she would have more time to focus on the Burpee Kitchen Garden. Within a couple of days, Kristin and I began to understand just how difficult it is to design numerous flower displays multiple times a week and quickly came back to Diane for advice.
Diane proclaims that the best way to create consistently fresh new displays is through searching for inspiration from others. She affirms that by considering how others use different combinations of flowers in their displays you can use the fresh perspective to explore groupings you never would have imagined in your own arrangements. One excellent source she uses is Flowers Rediscovered by Madderlake.
Undoubtedly because I was raised in Colorado, a state teeming with public lands, I developed a strong appreciation for native landscapes in my early teens; and as a result I have always aligned myself with more sustainable gardening techniques such as natural landscaping, or the use of native plants indigenous to the geographic area of the garden.
A native plant is often defined as a species that has grown in a given area prior to European settlement. It is important to use native plants in your landscape because they contribute to the biodiversity of your ecosystem and support local wildlife. Native plants are not only beneficial for local wildlife, they are also less costly to maintain if placed appropriately. Because these plants have spent thousands of years adapting to your local climate, they require less water and fertilizer and are more likely to survive than are their introduced counterparts.
Though native plants generally require fewer resources, support local wildlife, and are typically considered lower maintenance, they must be placed in the right location in your yard. When selecting a native plant for your garden, make sure to place it in a setting where it will receive similar sunlight, moisture and soil conditions to where it is found in nature. The University of Maine Extension is a great resource for determining plants to use and plants to avoid when gardening to conserve Maine's native landscape.
I find it odd how many gardeners, Diane included, find natural landscaping boring in comparison to exotic plantings. While I realize that native gardens are often considered less vibrant, I truly believe that if designed correctly, with ample variety, a native garden can be just as striking as any other.
-Montana Williams, Pearson Horticulture Intern (8/2/13)
Flowers Become Art
|My first work of floral art!
Check the table behind the front
Flowers serve no purpose in our lives. The natural world needs them and they are used to ensure the survival of their species, but they are of no use to us. Still we have managed to create a significance and a need for flowers. They symbolize not only beauty, but also a multitude of other meanings.
If you've been to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, I'm sure you've noticed several of the arrangements in the Visitor Center. At the Gardens, we value our appearance and want to portray beauty throughout our whole premises. The floral arrangements are one way of doing that. Flowers brighten up any room; they bring life to a dull space and add a touch of art where there was none. You can create beautiful floral arrangements by putting cuttings in plain water or by using a product called oasis. Oasis is also called floral foam and can be either wet or dry. At the Gardens we use wet floral foam. It soaks up water like a sponge and has a structure that is similar to that of plants so that the plants are able to absorb the water from them.
I've always seen vases and floral arrangements, but I've never actually created one. Diane, one of the staff horticulturalists, revealed to fellow-intern Montana and me that we would be in charge of all the floral arrangements inside the building. Montana wasn't as thrilled about this opportunity as I was. I was pretty excited. I've always been a pretty creative person and finally got the chance to see if I have what it takes. In choosing flowers and foliage, we must choose plants that have abundance or will not show thinning. Montana and I walked through the gardens and just cut random plants. We really had no plan when we were collecting, we just kind of saw something cool and cut a small amount to try it out. When cutting to better preserve the flower, it's best to immediately put it in water and then sometime re-cut the stem under the water.
After you collect the cuttings, you then arrange them in the most creative design possible. You will typically need some amount of height to offset the vase size. You can create a fuller effect by adding foliage as well as cut flowers. Some people like simple designs, while others like outrageous ones; the choice is all yours.

To The City!
CMBG horticulture interns along with staff
One of the striking views within
Yesterday, the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens interns were able to go on a very special field trip. We left at the crack of dawn to drive down to Boston, Massachusetts, to visit some of the horticulture hot-spots of the area. After making our way through the crazy city traffic, we found our first stop at The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. This arboretum was established back in 1872; as you probably could have guessed, we ran into some pretty old trees, and I fell in love with all of them. My favorite tree we saw was a Metasequoia glyptostroboides (dawn redwood) in the arboretum parking lot. With the four of us (as seen on your right) connected by our hands, we could just BARELY wrap all of our arms around the entire trunk of the tree! It just so happens that this particular Metasequoia is one of the oldest living specimens in the country and the very tree that inspired Arnold Arboretum's logo.
We met up with Michael Dosmann (Curator of Living Collections) and Andrew Gapinski (Supervisor of Horticulture) for a short, guided tour of the arboretum. In terms of acreage, Arnold is a bit bigger than CMBG – we have about 250 acres and they have 281. Just think of all of the history in those 281 acres! It seemed like we walked around a large portion of the arboretum, but we definitely didn't get to see everything. I would say I'm not alone in wishing we had much more time to wander the grounds.
Our next stop was to travel to the other side of town to Mount Auburn Cemetery. At first, fellow horticulture intern Kristin Neill and I were skeptical about visiting a cemetery; it's not a type of place we visit often. But after stepping inside the gates, we quickly changed our minds. Like Arnold, Mount Auburn has a vast collection of very old and large trees that are simply breathtaking. We were lucky enough to steal away President and CEO Dave Barnett for a while to get a guided tour of the cemetery. We even got to view the mausoleums of some very noteworthy people, such as Isabella Stewart Gardner and George Cabot Lodge. The rich history and beautiful plantings of Mount Auburn truly make it a one-of-a-kind spot in the city of Boston.

Beautiful for a Day
Everyone understands the delightful rush you get when you arise from your bed and realize that it's Friday. I woke up this particular Friday eagerly anticipating the adventures I had planned for my weekend, only to arrive at work and discover that it was my turn for the dreaded "weekend duty." My visions of a leisurely respite were quickly shattered.
To my surprise, and in contrast with my strenuous weekday shifts, weekend shifts are by no means arduous here at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. In fact, my weekend duties consisted of strolling through our beautiful grounds, watering, deadheading plants, and chatting with our guests – all perfectly enjoyable tasks. I was even urged to express my creative side by putting together floral arrangements for staff horticulturist Diane Walden, and let me tell you that was no easy job! If you're like me -completely addlepated by creativity- and you need some inspiration to access your inner floral designer, check out this link.
While working this weekend, I deadheaded more Hemerocallis, or daylilies, than I can count, and I was often asked why we spend so much time on this tedious task. While our primary reason for devoting such a large portion of our time to deadheading is aesthetics, the practice may encourage many perennials (including the daylily) to produce more blooms over a greater amount of time. The word Hemerocallis translates from its Greek origins to "beautiful for a day" (hence the common name, daylily). Anyone who has ever grown daylilies understands why this name is fitting for the plant, as it requires daily deadheading in order to keep it looking flawless. Unfortunately for the CMBG horticulture staff, this requires that we are forever trapped in a deadheading frenzy for the sake of our delightful daylilies, so please come visit us and appreciate the rewards of our never-ending, but worthwhile toil!

The Scientific Side
|The soil pH testing kit we used
|The samples and the pH value to compare them to.
As many of you know, at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens we have a lot of planting to do each spring. Then the summer weeds spring up and the horticulture team jumps into action keeping them at bay. Much of the time its a simple matter of obtaining the plants and then exerting a little energy to get them into the ground. On occasion, though, we run into some problems. Plants are all unique and each requires something different from the soil its planted in. Some plants enjoy highly acidic soils, while others prefer more alkaline soils.
Not all of the beds that we have at the Gardens are the same pH; many have been altered to allow for a variety of plants. I was sent out to measure the pH of a bed that was almost barren. I was so excited when Justin Nichols, a staff horticulturalist, sent me off on a mission to do this. Although it was very simple, I enjoyed the opportunity to do something slightly more scientific than planting. Using a Cornell pH testing kit, I found that the pH of the bed was around 6.7. Testing your own soil pH is very simple, you can obtain a soil pH test at your local hardware store or extension service. Once you have a kit, take a small sample of soil and put it into the container provided, then add the indicator. Our standard kit came with two indicators: Chlorphenol red (soil pH range 5.0 to 6.2) and Bromthymol blue (soil pH range 6.0 to 7.2). When you have your sample in their container, add several drops of each indicator to each sample. From my pictures you can see that I did both and found the Chlorphenol red indicated far above any of the given pH values. The Bromthymol blue tested sample was really the only one we needed, showing a result fairly close to 6.7.
Rhododendrons thrive in slightly acidic soils with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. To learn more about rhododendrons click here. As stated before, the pH of the bed I tested was about 6.7. That is just too alkaline to plant the rhododendrons in, so we have to change the soil acidity. In order to do that we will use a product that you can get at almost any garden store in the country, Espoma Soil Acidifier. Using the directions we will mix in the product until the bed reads the pH of 5. This ensures that the rhododendrons will live happily ever after in that bed. I greatly enjoyed taking a break from the crazy world of weeding and deadheading to pull my inner scientist out and do some testing.

Looking for a way to escape the aberrant heat of this week's weather and desiring to further my experience working with our collections management software, I was thankful when our Plant Collections Coordinator and Propagator, Sharmon Provan, asked me to help her map the new additions to the Perennial and Rose Garden. Last week I became more familiar with the BG-Base software, but I didn't have the chance to use BG-Map (mapping software that links to the plant records stored in BG-BASE). To reiterate, "BG-Base is a database application designed to manage information on biological (primarily botanical) collections."
In order to map collections and hardscape features in the gardens, we use a total station (an electronic/optical instrument used in surveying). One person feeds data into a Field PC from the head of the station and the other stands at the coordinate (or location of the plant) we are trying to determine with a prism pole. The station determines the coordinates of the pole by measuring the time it takes for a laser to reach the prism pole and reflect back to the station. Even though I was still in the sun, holding a pole is far less strenuous than pulling bindweed, so I was very grateful to be what the other staff members playfully refer to as "the prism princess" for Sharmon.
It's fair to say that my palette of skills in horticulture has expanded exponentially since I began my internship in June, but I would argue that just as valuable are the stories of my mentors, the CMBG horticulture staff. Though I've heard many excellent stories this week, here's one of my favorite memories the staff has shared with me. I'm told that when the gardens were first being constructed the horticulture staff was assigned the tedious task of removing dead or severely damaged trees from the woods (or at least removing those trees visible to the public). They would spend days trekking across the grounds trying to make the wooded trails as pristine as possible. Because the staff felt slightly ridiculous cleaning the woods, they refer to this activity as "Martha Stewarting the woods." After spending the past eight weeks taking in the beauty of our facility, I think even the queen of home décor would have to admit they did an excellent job making our trails look flawless!

The Dreaded Deer Fence
|A view of the deer fence.
|Even with the heat, the woods
are truly gorgeous.
On July 15, staff horticulturalist Justin Nichols and I went on a trek through the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens woods. Our hike was not simply for the fun of it; we were on a mission to check the deer fence. Now, you may have heard of the deer fence before in fellow horticulture intern Carrington's blog post. The deer fence is the large black fence that surrounds the property. It is necessary to keep the gardens as beautiful as they are. We couldn't have a bunch of rogue deer running around now, could we? Starting this adventure, I thought it would be simple because I had an experienced deer-fence walker with me, but I was wrong. I totally underestimated the physical demands this task would require. If you enjoy hiking, this walk would be a blast! Climbing over fallen trees and trekking through swamps was a large part of our adventure.
We started off the journey walking along the path next to the fence. The terrain became increasingly difficult once we were ten minutes in. In the heat today, it felt like we were climbing a mountain. The terrain was uphill and covered in rocks, stumps, and multiple trees that we had to push through. Due to my severe lack of coordination, I must say I was not much help in pointing out problems with the deer fence, as I was too busy making sure I didn't fall. Luckily I was able to stay on my feet the whole trip 'round! When we did find a problem in the fence, such as its being too low, or ripped, Justin and I had some zip ties and U nails that we could hammer into the trees to help keep the fence up. We didn't have all the tools necessary to keep the fence up, though, so we had to be innovative in a few areas. We were able to rig up sticks as posts and keep the fence a little higher and throw dead limbs and other objects in places where animals could get through the bottom. Since I had never been out on the walk, I had no idea that we found more problems than normal. We did our best to fix each one.
One of the craziest parts of this hike was that we saw a fawn inside the fence while we were walking. Again I was so busy looking at my feet that I was temporarily terrified when Justin screamed. I believe the deer must have been terrified, too, because it took off running. Poor thing ran straight into the fence in its terror! Although its horrible to say, it was quite entertaining to watch it try to escape us. Finally it decided to squeeze under the fence. It was incredible! The fence was maybe two inches off the ground and it managed to wriggle its way out. If you've ever seen a video of a cat going under a door, that is exactly what it reminded me of.
We made sure to hydrate before we left, but the heat was so intense that it didn't last long. By the end of the journey I was definitely dehydrated, and when we got back to the horticulture building I took my place holding a chair down and eating frozen grapes. It was unbelievable how exhausting simply hiking around in the heat could be. It was hard journey, but fun even; and with Justin there is always something to talk about or laugh at! Even though I was so tired, it was a great learning experience and vital to the success of the garden to make sure we keep those pesky deer out!

In January 1948, spitz again fell under suspicion for his role in the looting of art in Europe during the war.
On 18 May, spitz led Moore to Prien, where they located a large collection of trunks and crates belonging to Schwend.
spitz impressed Michaelis as "reliable, trustworthy and intelligent… [and] willing to cooperate."
breed of small Pomeranian dog, 1842, from German Spitz (occasionally Spitzhund), from spitz "pointed" (see spit (n.)). So called from the shape of its muzzle.

With the BP oil spill now on day 84, we decided to check back with retailers to see how they were faring.
Unfortunately, what was bad has now become a lot worse in some cases. Retailers are suffering, BP isn't paying claims fast enough and some manufacturers have not paid a lot of attention to the area, shop owners say.
Topping that off, the start of the hurricane season has brought waves. But many surfers and retailers along the Gulf now can't surf in their own backyard.
"It looks like a cow came over and (pooped) on the beach if you want to know the truth," said Johnny Mcelroy, who owns Blonde John's, a surf, skate and skimboard shop in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Mcelroy said business is down 40% to 70% depending on the day in what is usually his busiest time of year.
Gulf Shores is a summer vacation destination and with beaches closed or advisories posted, people aren't visiting.
"I have been open for 10 years and have had a 25% increase every year since I started. I have already put my balls on the chopping block to move."
(Right: Johnny Mcelroy of Blonde John's in Gulf Shores, Alabama.)
At Innerlight Surf and Skate Shop, which has stores in Gulf Shores, Alabama and in Pensacola, Destin, and Gulf Breeze, Florida, business was mostly flat last month, before the oil reached Florida.
Now that it has hit the shore, business is hurting.
According to Pensacola store manager Shannon Hampton, some stores are down 50% and others are down 30% to 40%. When surf camp cancellations and no shows are included, business is down about 80% overall.
"We are anticipating it getting worse as we get into summer and winter," said Hampton, who added in Pensacola the beaches currently have advisories posted, but are still open.
News reports show Gulf beaches are open and swimming is not prohibited but swimmers are advised to avoid coming into contact with oil, whether in the water or on land.
Sometimes the oil is visible, sometimes there are tar balls and other days it is just the same beautiful beach they are used to, Hampton said.
The recent Hurricane Alex brought waves that pushed oil onto the beaches in Pensacola. She said she has sold a few surfboards, but SUP sales, which initially rose after the spill, have since declined.
Shannon's husband, Matt Hampton, who manages Innerlight's Gulf Shores location, said people are wary of stand up paddling now, since the ocean feeds into the bays and waterways.
At Innerlight Gulf Shores, Matt said the store went from being down 30% to down 50%. During the usually busy July 4th weekend, hotels and condos in town had only a 50% occupancy rate.

Diaphragmatic Hernia
(Hernia—Diaphragmatic; Congenital Hernia of the Diaphragm)
DefinitionDiaphragmatic hernia is a congenital defect in which an opening is present in the diaphragm at birth. The diaphragm is the partition separating the chest and abdominal cavities. The abnormal opening allows some of the organs typically found in the abdomen to move into the chest cavity. In infants born with diaphragmatic hernia, the abdominal organs push up against the lungs. This prevents the lungs from developing normally.Diaphragmatic hernia is a serious condition with many potential complications and side effects.
CausesDiaphragmatic hernia is caused by a failure of the diaphragm to completely fuse during fetal development.
|Diaphragmatic Hernia—Stomach and Intestines Move into Chest Cavity
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk FactorsFactors that may increase the risk of diaphragmatic hernia include:
- Chromosomal syndromes
- Maternal alcohol use
- Pregestational diabetes in the mother
SymptomsSymptoms include:
- Severe respiratory distress, including rapid breathing, grunting, use of accessory muscles, and bluish tint to the skin from lack of oxygen
- Asymmetrical or increased diameter of the chest wall
- Concave abdomen
DiagnosisDiagnosis is frequently made on prenatal ultrasound. If not found prior to birth, a physical exam will be done. A may be done to confirm the presence of abdominal organs in the chest cavity. Images may be taken of your child's bodily structures. This can be done with achest x-ray.

Pakistan Independence Day ŌĆō not really
The founder of Pakistan, which today celebrates Independence Day, believed in the separation of mosque and state. He would not recognize his country now. Blasphemy laws silence religious expression. On a visit, I was often reminded to lower my voice 'lest the servants hear you.'
Shakil Adil/AP
New York
Growing up in England, my Pakistani ├®migr├® parents taught me to revere the founder of Pakistan, which marks its 65th anniversary of independence today. Mohammed Ali Jinnah was a secular, westernized moderate ŌĆō a sort of Muslim Thomas Jefferson, who cherished the separation of mosque and state. Our family trips to Pakistan always included a trip to JinnahŌĆÖs mausoleum in the center of Karachi.
Almost 40 years after those childhood visits, it pains me to watch the relentless rise of religious extremism in Pakistan ŌĆō a rise that has been permitted and even abetted by PakistanŌĆÖs government. While readers in the West may be conscious of IslamismŌĆÖs tightening grip on the country, many are not aware of how this happened and how dangerous life in Pakistan has become for those deemed insufficiently devout ŌĆō the very minorities Jinnah believed Pakistan would safeguard.
Starting with the 1978 Islamicization program instituted by then-President Gen. Zia-ul-Haq, Pakistan has steadily dismembered the secular society Jinnah once envisioned. Yet it was PakistanŌĆÖs blasphemy laws, a series of five ordinances targeting religious minorities enacted from 1980 onward, that would deal a decisive blow to JinnahŌĆÖs democracy.
These include a law criminalizing blasphemy; a law punishing the defilement of the Quran; one denouncing any insult to the family, companions, or personage of the Prophet Mohammed; and two laws expressly targeting PakistanŌĆÖs tiny pacifist Muslim community ŌĆō the Ahmadi Muslims.┬Ā
These are nothing less than ŌĆ£lawfare,ŌĆØ the abuse of laws and judicial systems to achieve strategic military or political ends. The blasphemy laws are a volte face from JinnahŌĆÖs ideals. Speaking to PakistanŌĆÖs Constituent Assembly just days before PakistanŌĆÖs 1947 independence from Britain, Jinnah emphasized religious tolerance as the bedrock of the new state.
ŌĆ£Every one of you,ŌĆØ he said, ŌĆ£is first, second and last a citizen of this State with equal rights, privileges, and obligations.ŌĆØ He went on: ŌĆ£You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed ŌĆō that has nothing to do with the business of the State.ŌĆØ
Not only do these ideals now ring hollow, but few Pakistani newspaper editors dare publish anything that reflects such values. The notorious Islamist blasphemy laws have ensured a silencing not only of Pakistani minorities but also of free speech in Pakistan.
But PakistanŌĆÖs Islamist lawfare has a far wider reach. While over 40 percent of all arrests under the blasphemy laws have been of Ahmadi Muslims, Christians also fall victim.
This past spring I traveled to Pakistan as a physician on business, and also to see relatives. I spoke with Father Edward Joseph at St. PatrickŌĆÖs Cathedral in Karachi, PakistanŌĆÖs largest Catholic diocese. As he showed me the damage to his cathedral, still unrepaired from a 1998 bombing by a Pakistani Muslim jihadist just after mass, I asked him how he guided his congregation in such a hostile climate. His reply was philosophic:
ŌĆ£Just as Christ had his cross to bear, so, too, do we.ŌĆØ Not a trace of anger inflected his voice.
ŌĆ£So you mean the blasphemy laws are the ŌĆścrossŌĆÖ Pakistani Christians must bear?ŌĆØ I clarified.
ŌĆ£Yes,ŌĆØ he answered simply.
Next to him stood Davina, the young Christian doctor who had invited me to meet him. She added, ŌĆ£I never tender my opinion on any matter pertaining to religion, whether mine or anyone elseŌĆÖs. Even if I hear completely false things said about Christianity I donŌĆÖt challenge them; itŌĆÖs too dangerous.ŌĆØ
Earlier in my stay touring KarachiŌĆÖs Ziauddin hospital, a community general government hospital, I spoke to Christian nurses and asked them about their working conditions. One matron explained her situation:
ŌĆ£I am in charge of all nursing assignments. My nurses are Christians and Muslim. I cannot afford to show any favoritism to Christian nurses, nor would I. I always ensure my work is of the highest standards. We Christians have to be better, to be beyond reproach, because we donŌĆÖt want to invite any accusations of blasphemy. We must always do our job well, and better than others.ŌĆØ
Later, as I exited the hospital toward my waiting driver, ensuring she was well out of earshot of any colleagues, she rushed up to me, whispering she had applied for political asylum in the United States.
In Pakistan, religion, caste, and creed have become the prime business of the state, and this submerges all in an impenetrable silence.
Wherever I went, friends and relatives reminded me to lower my voice ŌĆ£lest the servants hear you,ŌĆØ to close the window ŌĆ£lest anyone hear your voice carried into the garden.ŌĆØ I was silenced in cars (ŌĆ£not in front of the driverŌĆØ), silenced in airports (ŌĆ£not here in publicŌĆØ), and yet many Pakistanis, Christians, minority Muslims, and PakistanŌĆÖs fading Zoroastrian community (the Parsis) were desperate to talk with me.
Predictably the blasphemy laws lead to scores of arrests each year, and to subsequent violence.
Once convicted ŌĆō often on hearsay ŌĆō blasphemers are subject to the death penalty, though that sentence has yet to be carried out by the state. At least 16 people are on death row for blasphemy, and at least 20 are serving life sentences for the offense, according to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom.
If released on clemency, the accused are often lynched. Emboldened by a national climate of Islamist lawfare, Pakistani police rarely intervene, legitimizing generations of rising Islamists.
TodayŌĆÖs Islamist Pakistan is a failing state. Even so it exerts serious international influence. Within 20 years, it is expected to overtake Indonesia as the worldŌĆÖs most populous majority-Muslim state.
The retreat of tolerance in Pakistan has global ramifications. The country plays a prominent┬Ā role in the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation, the 57 member-state organization speaking for the Muslim majority world. Pakistan leads the groupŌĆÖs efforts to broaden the application of abusive blasphemy laws across the world, efforts that remain, to date, largely uncontested.
Instead of holding Pakistan accountable, the world has lauded her: Pakistan sits on UN human rights panels ŌĆō including the United Nations Human Rights Council (from 2006 to 2011). The US boycotted the council in the previous administration, but American drones and billions in aid simply fuel Islamist ideologies.┬Ā
In Pakistan, what the law has destroyed, the law must rebuild. Just as lawmakers have authored PakistanŌĆÖs demise, so too, only lawmakers can write prescriptions for its resurrection.
Last year, a leading Christian lawmaker, PakistanŌĆÖs minister for minority affairs, Shahbaz Bhatti, was assassinated for his attempts to rewrite the archaic blasphemy laws. His fate followed that of Gov. Salman Taseer, who was assassinated months earlier for calling for a repeal of the same laws.
Following through on their work requires moral courage. The next 65 years depend on it.

Let the pet industry know you're sick of being deceived
The image on the left is from our most recent explosive investigation into a NSW puppy farm where breeding dogs are kept in stacked cages and from which 45 dogs have been seized this year. Tiny puppies, including Torro pictured on the right, who died nine days after being purchased, are being flown from this puppy factory to be sold through a Perth pet shop.
The pet shop is Pet Industry Association of Australia (PIAA) approved. The same PIAA who claim on their website "consumers
can purchase with confidence from a Pet Industry Association of Australia
member retail store, knowing that their dog is not the product of a puppy
Act now by emailing the PIAA or visiting their Facebook page and telling them to stop deceiving consumers with promises they aren't keeping.
NSW legislation must change
Visit our team and all enjoy the fun at
Its time to end the shameful and cruel treatment of our companion animals, who are suffering on puppy factories and need our help.
Oscars Law is a campaign that enables everyone to make a stand and tell the Government that "We do not want companion animals factory farmed anymore" and "We no longer want the pet industry to mislead us about what is acceptable for our animals".
You can help fight the killing of healthy, rehomeable pets in Australia's pounds, promote rescue organisations and shelters as the first option to adopting, and change the way Australians gets their pets. Adoption is the intelligent alternative to impulse buying. No puppy factory whether it is 'clean', 'model', 'state of the art' or otherwise is the answer for mans best friend.
Who is Oscar?
Oscar was one of a number of dogs who were rescued from a puppy factory in central Victoria where they had been neglected to the point they required urgent veterinary care. The list of ailments the dogs suffered was extensive, including:
Severe matting — the dogs had to be sedated in order to shave their painful matted fur away from their skin; ear infections; gum disease; and rotten teeth.
Once their matted fur was shaved it was evident that painful grass seed abscesses covered their bodies. The dogs were so severely malnourished their irritated skin was like paper and they were grossly underweight.
Days later and recovering from surgery, Oscar was returned by authorities to the very people who failed to provide veterinary care and neglected all their dogs including Oscar. They have never been charged with cruelty.
On July 9th 2011, 18 months after being returned to the puppy factory Oscar was saved once again. His recovery has been gradual given the psychological and physical trauma he has endured for 5 years of his life.
Oscar is safe but there are still thousands of Oscars hidden away on factory farms treated as breeding machines to supply the pet industry and they need you to be their voice.
With a little help from our friends...

Mine won't work ToT like at all. i used 90mm magnifying glasses and adidas shoebox and my phone is samsung galaxy note 3. WHY T_T
I made it and used a mirror to reflect the image on to the lens. that makes the text readable
if I did the project how does the light of my phone project itself to the wall and get large ?
For some reason, when I set up the shoe box, all that is shown on the wall is a white projected picture. It does not show any other picture. Any suggestions?
Your Post is very nice,
So i want to share it to my friend in the social network,
i say thank you for it,
you can join to my blog or just blog walking and comment to :
Air Sanih
Thank you for your attention
Just made this. Works just fine though the focus is a little blurry no matter what I do. Needs a little tweaking (better magnifying glass perhaps) I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a cheap MG (.97 cents). I might have to try a stronger one next time!
Hey Sher great instructable. My image is quite sharp but very dark, i have turned the screen to full brightness. I suspect the culprit is the black box (using it for a pin hole camera as well). Do you agree or there is something else?
Whats the best strength and size of magnifying glass to use?
Can you explain the focusing of the iphone step please - where do you look for the focus?
This looks like it works a LOT better.

Karl Urban nails the part of Bones again after I feared he may take a back seat after the promotional material; though it was obviously just to have a woman on there. Pegg was even more hilarious as Scotty too.
Kirk is still a bit of a frat douche though, I hope he actually grows for the next movie which he should do.

AMES, Iowa --When consumers want answers to immediate home and family questions they turn to Iowa State University Extension's Answer Line by phone at (800) 262-3804 or online at www.extension.iastate.edu/answerline/.
"Two-thirds of our calls are questions about food, particularly around a holiday," said Evelyn Beavers, Answer Line coordinator. However, Answer Line isn't a recipe service. Rather, professional consumer and family scientists field questions on food buying, cooking, storing and safety.
Answer Line also handles questions about child development, consumer management, home environment, nutrition and textiles, among other topics. The toll-free phone service has been available for nearly 35 years.
"We'll answer just about any home or family question," Beavers said. "We are a unique program, because when you call, you will speak to a live person and get research-based answers."
Answer Line is part of a national Healthy Homes initiative for Extension. This provides emphasis on indoor air quality questions such as mold, radon, asbestos and general cleaning.
The Web site's frequently asked questions allow Iowans access to information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Consumers can search by keyword, browse the keyword index or select a topic area to find answers to their questions.
The toll-free service also is available in Minnesota at (800) 854-1678. Calls are answered Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. A Relay Iowa line (phone linkage for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals) is available at 711.

Product description
Both the Gloster Gladiator and the Fiat CR.42 Falco represented the peak in the development of the biplane fighter, which could trace its lineage back to World War I. However, by the time both aircraft entered service in the late 1930s, they were already obsolete. Nevertheless, they gave sterling service on all fronts in the Mediterranean and Africa in 1940-41. Indeed, the CR.42 was the Regia Aeronautica's staple fighter in both North and East Africa, Greece and over Malta in 1940-41, during which time its pilots routinely fought British and Commonwealth squadrons equipped in the main with Gladiator biplanes. Some bitter dogfights were fought between these two types as the Allies attempted to gain control of the skies over North Africa, Greece and East Africa. Both types were flown in the main by highly experienced pre-war pilots, and this in turn made for some closely fought engagements. The first known combat between the CR.42 and the Gladiator took place on 14 June 1940 over North Africa and the last engagement between the two types occurred on 24 October 1941 over the East African front.

Anthony Kearns Releases WITH A SONG IN MY HEART Solo Album
Anthony Kearns, founding member of The Irish Tenors, recently released his long- awaited debut solo album. The CD focuses upon the wide repertoire presented during his countless solo concert tours; a concert repertoire which spans the spectrum from Ireland to Broadway, from well-loved melodies to popular classics, and from light-hearted comedy to the greatest tenor arias ever written, interpreted by the man acclaimed as Ireland's Finest Tenor. The CD is, according to Kearns, "a compilation of songs that have been my constant companions ... I hope you enjoy what you hear ... and find a song that touches your heart."
It is available via his website: www.anthonykearnstenor.com.
Kearns began his career in 1993 after winning a national competition in Dublin, Ireland's Search for a Tenor, launching him on the road leading to The Irish Tenors, who burst upon the international music scene in 1998. The Irish Tenors hold the distinction of being one of the top grossing acts of all time for PBS, have five PBS specials and ten CDs to their credit, many achieving gold, platinum and double platinum status.
In addition to his continuing work with The Irish Tenors, Anthony has a thriving solo concert career and is increasingly in demand on international opera stages performing some of opera's premium tenor roles. Of Kearns's performance as Don Ottavio in Lismore Opera's Don Giovanni [Ireland], the British magazine Opera Now reported, "Kearns' beautifully spun Il mio tesoro was a moment of still beauty..." The Irish Times commented on Anthony's performance of Faust for Opera Ireland "Kearns has an exciting top register..." Steffanie Pearce, Opera Naples Founder and Artistic Director noted, "Anthony's high notes are thrilling and virile...this is a voice-of-the-century voice!" He performed Lucia di Lammermore's Edgardo, Romeo, and Faust for Opera Naples. Of his Don Jose? in an Irish production of Carmen, The Irish Times, commented: "Kearns proved a top-notch Don Jose?, rising to each decisive moment with quality to spare."
A frequent performer in the nation's most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl, Mr. Kearns has performed for Irish Prime Ministers, three U.S. Presidents, and is a member of the Recording Academy: The Grammys.

Just made for fun. What OSX could be in a near future… or not. ;-)
It's a rebound of the Windows redesign made by a Dribbble member (but I don't remember who).
I tried to simplify the current UI and UX of the system.
I'm not sure about the hollow icons over the file (here the 'Image004') because QuickView, Tags and Share are also available in the right-click menu.

Our dinner was very good and service was excellent. The restaurant is small and hot. The price of entrees was expensive and not expecting so many families with young children which made it very loud. I wouldn't go back during vacation because for the price and the noise factor I would like to try another restaurant.
We found out about Harrison's on our last night of our Stowe trip. We got their early but the restaurant was already full, luckily they offered us a seat at the bar where we were able to order our food. I ordered the special of the day and my wife ordered a fish dish from the regular dinner menu.
