Rivertree…an Internal Communication Strategy
Proper internal communication ensures that all the key leadership understands the organization's mission, vision and strategic plan. The four key leadership roles at Rivertree are: Lead Pastor, Elders, Trustees and Staff. A continuous flow of information between these groups is essential to implementation and accountability of actions toward reaching desired goals.
The Lead Pastor is a member of the Elder team and also is the main mission and vision caster.
The Elder's responsibilities include: setting vision and strategy for church ministries, mission endeavors and personnel.
The Trustees keep watch over the resources of the church including: finances, facilities and properties.
The Staff are in the trenches daily implementing vision and mission through ministry operations.
The Executive Pastor is the member of the staff whose function includes overseeing operations and implementing strategy. The position also acts as the catalyst for an internal communication strategy between Rivertree's leadership teams.
Continuous and open communication channels are essential to Rivertree's mission, strategy and operations. Here is a look at some communication steps that facilitate internal communication.
1. Lead Pastor – Executive Pastor
a. Meet weekly with the Lead Pastor to hear what is most pressing on his radar screen. Also, debrief with the Lead Pastor concerning Elder and Trustee meetings. (See more information on these meetings in the following points.)
b. Be included in Elder and Lead Pastor communications which often are catalysts for Elder meeting agendas. (Elder meetings are held twice a month.) Work with the Lead Pastor to set the Elder agenda.
2. Elders – Executive Pastor
a. Be a part of Elder meetings, mainly as observer, but also be one of the agenda items: Executive Pastor Report.
b. At the end of each Elder meeting the Executive Pastor recaps to the Elders what he feels needs to be communicated to the Staff and Trustees, giving opportunity to Elders for additions or deletions.
c. Communicate to Trustees and Staff the Elder's agreed upon communication points, through meetings and/or email.
3. Trustees – Executive Pastor
a.Work with Trustees to set their meeting agenda.
b. Meet every other month with Trustees. At the end of each Trustee meeting recap to this group a list of take-aways that need to be communicated to the Staff and Elders, giving opportunity for additions or deletions to the list.
c. Email to Elders a follow-up from Trustee meeting.
4. Staff – Executive Pastor
a. Communicate through meetings and email important information from Elder and Trustee meetings.
b. Invite the staff to submit discussion items to be included on either or both the Elder and Trustee meetings.
5. Elder – Staff – Trustee
a. Initiate a quarterly joint Elder and Trustee meeting where staff members are given opportunity to report about their ministry and Elders and Trustees talk face-to-face about important issues.
b. Establish a monthly email to Elders, Trustees and Staff focusing on:
– Ministry "Accomplishments,"
– what staff is *Working-on,"
– what "Issues" staff and/or church may be facing and
– who is taking the lead on the "working-on" and "issue" items.

Paul Strand (American, 18901976)
Platinum print; 13 3/8 x 10 1/8 in. (34 x 25.7 cm)
Alfred Stieglitz Collection, 1933 (33.43.334)
© 1997, Aperture Foundation Inc., Paul Strand Archive
While he was in high school in New York City, Paul Strand studied photography with Lewis Hine, the social reformer and photographer. He also frequented Alfred Stieglitz's Little Galleries of the Photo-Secessionlater known as "291" for its address on Fifth Avenuewhere he quickly absorbed the lessons of modern European art through the work of Picasso, Brancusi, and Cézanne, among others. In 1916, Strand made a series of candid street portraits with a handheld camera fitted with a special prismatic lens, which allowed him to point the camera in one direction while taking the photograph at a ninety-degree angle. This seminal image of a street beggar was published in 1917 as a gravure in Stieglitz's magazine Camera Work and immediately became an icon of the new American photography, which integrated the objectivity of social documentation with the boldly simplified forms of modernism.

Ive got an 94 L reg Fiesta 1.6i Ghia & have had to replace the clutch cable 3 times since I bought it. Ive had it since May.
When it went the 1st I thought it was possibly that the car had been ragged silly by the last owner. The 2nd time I thought it could possibly be the Clutch was poor quality.
Now its happened again its obviously more serious than that. It wasnt changed by a mechanic in a garage but a mate who is training to be one and he's said it could be a problem with the clutch itself.
Any thoughts/idea's/input would be greatly appreciated.

Vincent Bright of Detroit pleaded guilty to disinterment of a body after stealing his father's body from a grave. / Wayne County Sheriff's Office
A Detroit man accused of stealing his fathers remains from an east side cemetery has pleaded guilty to disinterment of a body.
Vincent Bright is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 24, according to online court records.
Investigators said Bright went to Gethsemane Cemetery in the 10700 block of Gratiot in January and removed his fathers body.
Bright told family members that he took the body to resurrect his 93-year-old father through prayer, an official previously said.
Detroit police found the body of Clarence Bright stuffed inside a freezer in his sons basement.

Complaints: Pasta Sauce is a Hot Load of Crap
If I learned anything in 2009 it's that pasta sauce bought in a store, in a crummy jar, is a hot load of crap. This just underlies my theory that everything in this world is a total scam.
This revelation began when my friend Anwar cooked an amazing pasta dish. I asked him what he used for sauce and he said that the sauce was just tomatoes in a food processor. And it was delicious. More delicious than any crap pasta sauce bought in a dirtbag grocery store. I'll tell you that much right here and now.
I was reminded by Anwar's sauce when my girlfriend Carrie suggested I put in some canned tomatoes with my rice and beans. This suggestion was also delicious.
So, the next time I went to the grocery store I walked right by the scamjob pasta sauce aisle and went straight towards the canned vegetables. I found myself a nice can of diced tomatoes. And it was about half as much as any bogus jar of rancid Ragu or cruddy Classico. I'm saving money and getting a tastier meal? Pinch me.
I've discovered that I can get a big can of diced tomatoes for about $1.29-1.79 if I look hard enough, and it's well worth the effort, especially if you add in some chopped up sausage. It flavors the tomatoes right up. You can also add your own spices, like Mrs. Dash or Basil or whatever sets you off. Maybe add some oil. It's delicious. And the best part? None of that horse flop high fructose corn syrup will touch your lips. And the large cans of chopped tomatoes last a lot longer than those bum $3-$7 jars of the prepackaged junk that the food companies try to push on us.
A word to the wise, don't get the cans of crushed tomatoes or the cans of whole tomatoes. I know the cans of whole tomatoes are cheaper and you're thinking you can just dice them at home. It's not the same. And the crushed tomatoes are like cans of red sludge. The diced toamtoes are beautiful and have a proper place atop of your favorite pasta.

Prosecutors accuse the former book keeper for Pasadena Memorial High school with stealing at least $68,000 from the school's Student Activity Fund.
Ashley Adela Niess, 26, was arrested Thursday and charged with Theft by a Public Servant. Her bond is set at $136,000 dollars.
According to Pasadena ISD administrators, Niess worked as the school's book keeper from October 4, 2011 until April 13, 2012. She resigned the day after the school district announced it would conduct an audit of the school's books.
The audit was prompted by discrepancies in the school bank deposits, according to Associate Superintendent Renea Ivy-Sims,
"Her deposits were short. And it became a trend. It didn't just happen once it happened several times." Ivy-Sims says.
Auditors determined that $68,387.49 was missing. The money came from fund raising activities by students for clubs, student fees and activity fees. Investigators claim Niess altered receipts and deposit slips, and put the money in her personal bank account.
"A lot of times those are cash deposits," Ivy-Sims says, "So that was the money that was coming in that was from our kids."
According to court records, auditors believe the total amount of missing cash is much higher, but haven't been able to document it. The investigation is continuing.
Niess began working for Pasadena ISD in 2007 and held jobs in purchasing and payroll departments. But Ivy-Sims says Niess never handled cash in those positions.

Hmm, I am partial to McMillan and Hudson. But that is because I like plans that are a bit more individualized.

I may be rusty, but how are Hanson and McMillan any more individualized than Daniels, Pfitz, et al?
All opinions are mine. Not sure who else's they would belong to.
Brad Hudson's 'Run Faster' gets my vote. Great read.
2015 Races - Half 1:24:18 Full 2:54:39
I didn't mention Hansons, which I am only now getting around to finally reading (and even though it should be a fairly quick read, I've been spending more time with the Magness book, which I ordered at the same time).
With regard to how Hudson and McMillan are more individualized than some of the others, both Hudson and McMillan are books geared toward helping an individual create his or her own plan, based on running history, recovery profile, response to different workout types, etc. They both have a stepwise process (Hudson calls it a "self-assessment," McMillan calls it a "personal running evaluation" or "PRE") that they guide you through with a series of questions to answer to aid in developing the plan. Hudson's philosophy of "adaptive running" encourages the runner to modify the plan as training goes on, if he or she doesn't seem to be progressing as expected (and gives some guidance on how to go about doing that). And McMillan has different types of training modules that a runner can add on prior to the race-specific phase to work on specific aspects (stamina, speed, etc.).
well i dont have a lot of experience since i have only just run my 1st marathon but i did pfitzer 18/55 and i liked it and felt it prepared me to run my 1st marathon..
Hudson is pretty useful knowledge to have when making your own plan. Not that useful for first timers though because you have to know yourself well in order to make your own plan.

OK - but what about for a first time marathoner? I'm running about 30 mpw, so Daniels is clearly out.
i think the hal higdeons are good for 1st timers.. i was up to 40 mpw when i started the pfitzer 18/55 but that got me totally ready i was amazed ..it was my 1st as well.....
For first timers, I second Higdon or The Competitive Runner's Handbook, by Bob Glover. An oldie but goodie.
Pfitz worked fine for me way back when; the canned plans don't cut it for me anymore. If I were OCD about following one I'd never complete a training cycle.
I need to take a second look at Hudson. I glanced at the book at my LRS a while back and thought that the plans it included were poor, so I didn't give it a chance.
Not a big Hanson's fan, although I know the plans have worked for many people. Not much in the book that I couldn't have found online for free. If you are willing/able to put in all the MP runs and speedwork the plans require and don't much care for long runs over 16 miles (at least in the beginner plan) Hanson's may be for you. It wasn't for me, at least not for my cycle over the summer.
I want to read the McMillan book.

Running in memory of my Sister-in-Law Carol, who passed away Mother's Day 2013.
+1 on the one that fits your schedule, though I'd add and addresses your needs.
For you -- just looking at your PRs and age, I'd think Hanson.
You're going to get a mix of LRs, MLRs, MP, LT, and VO2 work in each of them.
Key differences: Pfitz will include tune-up races (combined w/ a LR) as a key feature, along with some intense VO2 stuff, as you get closer.
Hansons will have no required/scheduled tune-up races (you can incorporate one if you feel need/desire) and focus on longer MP-based runs as you approach peak (the other stuff is earlier).
Daniels will also do more of the faster stuff early, does not require tune-up races and while it has some MP, the focus is on LT. In Daniels you have the greatest flexibility as only total volume and the two key workouts are set; you fill in the rest according to your needs.
I think Hanson b/c you, like most of us (certainly me), seem to be at a point where it is more about overall strength and endurance rather than fine-tuning.
A 16 y/o XC Runner stuck in a 52 y/o body.
Hansons will have no required/scheduled tune-up races (you can incorporate one if you feel need/desire) and focus on longer MP-based runs as you approach peak (the other stuff is earlier).
Hanson's actually focuses on MP runs from the beginning of the plan, that's one of its core components and an aspect that I question. But the MP runs do get longer as you approach peak.
You are correct about them being included from beginning. I was trying to emphasize that there's a clear focus on MP runs as the peaking mechanism (as opposed to Pfitz, for example). Sumtimes my riting ain't as clere as it should bee.
I know a lot of people question the value of "MP" runs, esp early in a cycle, but will leave that debate for another thread.
There is no best plan - they all suck, you still have to run a lot and it's too tough sometimes. Though, I am leaning to RLRF kind of plans - no need to run, but when you run, run fast.

BP clean up worker Malcolm Coco told Al Jazeera that there has been a massive coverup of the size of the BP oil spill:
This fire initially was the biggest fire ever in the world. But every day we exceeded those numbers ….
[Clean-up worker Malcolm Coco] says he has evidence there was more oil spilled than has ever been publicly admitted.
"In all categories it was a massive coverup the way they presented it on the ship."
As we've previously noted, BP went to great lengths to cover up the scope of the disaster … including low-balling spill estimates.
BP temporarily hid the amount of oil in the Gulf … so that BP could pay lower fines (which are calculated based on the amount of oil spilled) and pretend – for p.r. purposes – that the spill wasn't very bad.

New High-Speed Rail Plan Approved, Includes Pact to Electrify Caltrain
April 12, 2012 Update
In another unanimous decision, the Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MTC and other Northern California transportation partners that would electrify the popular Caltrain commuter train from San Jose to San Francisco. The MOU, which was approved by MTC on March 28 (see item below) calls for local and regional entities to provide funding for just over half the $1.5 billion agreement. The Authority would provide $706 million from 2008 Prop 1A bond monies.
The state Legislature still needs to vote on whether to start building the high-speed rail line. A vote is expected in June. If the plan goes forward, construction could begin soon, and electric trains could be speeding up and down the Peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose by 2020. The plan envisions the electrified Caltrain line connecting with the rest of the high-speed system about 10 years later.
Landmark Agreement Puts Caltrain, High-Speed Rail on Fast Track
March 28,
The MOU — between and among MTC, the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain), the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the city of San Jose, the City and County of San Francisco, and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority — aims to improve, enhance and expand the integration of local/regional and high-speed rail systems. The MOU also targets cost-effective near-term solutions in areas that share existing commuter rail facilities to reduce both the costs and the environmental impacts of the planned statewide high-speed rail system. The MOU:
The MOU also proposes a $1.5 billion funding plan with a mix of local, regional, state, and federal dollars to pay for the electrification and advance signal system projects needed for the so-called blended service that would accommodate both electrified Caltrain operations and long-distance high-speed rail trains. Of this amount, roughly half, or $706 million, is expected to come from statewide high-speed rail sources. The remaining funds would include local sales taxes, Proposition 1B transit bond funds, Federal Transit Administration funds, bridge tolls and Bay Area Air Quality Management District funds.
Caltrain electrification has had broad public support for many years. The project is included in the expenditure plans for half-cent transportation sales tax measures approved by voters in Santa Clara County in 2000 and San Mateo County in 2004. Caltrain electrification also was identified as a high priority project in the San Francisco Prop K Expenditure Plan approved in November 2003. The electrification project and the switch-over to lightweight electric-multiple units also is included in the Regional Transit Expansion Program approved by MTC as Resolution 3434 in 2001, and was further analyzed and included in the Regional Rail Plan adopted by the Commission in 2007
The Advanced Signal System project is another foundation for improvements along the Peninsula rail corridor, necessary not only to meet safety requirements, but also to operate the blended Caltrain/high-speed service and to control train traffic during all future construction work and upgrades.

Though ladybugs might not be the scariest of insects, they're pests nonetheless and it appears a large population of them has invaded the area.
According to Ruth Correll, Wilson County Ag Extension Director, the Asian Multi-Colored Lady Beetle, or ladybug, is actually a beneficial insect.
Correll said these insects were introduced into the United States as early as 1916 and additional ones were introduced in the 1970s to control the aphid population on pecans.
Aphids are sometimes known as "plant lice" and are small and destructive sap-sucking insects.
Correll said ladybugs are beneficial to us because they eat aphids.
She said the lower the population of aphids, the lower the population of ladybugs becomes, and vice versa.
Weather is also another contributing factor to the ladybug population or infestation.
"The Lady Beetles don't die when it gets to winter," Correll said. "But when there are no leaves and plants to host aphids, their food supply goes down and they go dormant."
Correll said the infestation of ladybugs in homes and indoors is due to the insects looking for a place to live.
"That's why they're congregated; they're looking for shelter," Correll said.
She said something to note, though, is that ladybugs don't damage wood.
"They do cause a stain if they're mashed. They also cause an unpleasant odor if mashed, too," Correll said. "But it could be worse. It could be where they damaged wood, but they don't. There are worse insects, so it could be a lot worse."
Using an insecticide isn't an effective way to control the ladybug infestation either, according to Correll.
She recommended doing things like vacuuming the home in order to prevent the ladybugs from entering. However, she said to be sure to dispose of the vacuum bag when done.
"If you kill some and the carcasses come off and are left, if you don't dispose of them that could draw in other insects that feed on insects, so make sure you dispose of the carcasses, too," Correll said.
She said the ladybugs are most aggravating on log homes or homes with siding, like aluminum siding, because they can get under the siding and it's hard to seal off log homes.
"They survive in the siding in the winter," Correll said. "If we have warmer days in winter, where it gets up into the 60s, they'll come out and try to find food sources. But they may be most aggravating throughout the winter."
Correll said when spring and warmer weather gets here and the aphids come back out, the ladybugs will begin to leave and go out and find food sources.

Kanye West is furious at Jimmy Kimmel, but the late-night host seems to be loving it.
After airing a spoof of an interview West did recently with the BBC, in which kids re-enact the bit word for word, Kimmel was the target of an ALL-CAPS Twitter rant from the rapper, who really, really loves to rant.
"I don't understand it. I don't know why he's angry again," Kimmel said on his show Thursday. "The bit was pretty, I thought, innocuous, but finally I'm in a rap feud."
An upset West even made a call to Kimmel, demanding an apology. "He said a lot of things, he told me I had two choices: No. 1, apologize publicly, and that was really the only choice," Kimmel said. "The other choice he gave, was that, 'Your life,' he said, 'is going to be much better if you apologize.' Then he started tweeting today, and I don't know if I've even seen some of them because they're happening while we speak."
The host, thoroughly enjoying this, laughed through reading West's tweets, which the rapper was deploying in real time.
Kimmel has been on a roll lately, recently fooling pretty much the whole world with his twerking-fire-fail video. But the host swears he's not in on the joke this time.
"I'll tell you the whole story about @kanyewest tonight on the show - this is not a prank, I promise (unless it's being played on me)," he tweeted.

world, it appeared in asian, american, european, and indian art
from the dawn of history.
the same symbol is also called
there are two types of wheel crosses:
the four-armed freestanding cross representing shadows
cast by the rising and setting sun at the two solstices,
and the six-armed cross created by addition of the equinoctial
sunrise and sunset shadows.
the one with four spokes, which wheels in time lost their rim,
became 'real' crosses.
the swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for 4000 years.
artifacts of the the harappan civilization show a pre-veda,
pre-aryan and pre-hindu origin of the swastika.
the word swastika comes from the sanskrit 'svastika'.
the word can be divided into the components
sva (one's own) and astika (it is).
it is a symbol of auspiciousness: it has been used as a
symbol of the sun, of the four directions (N,E,S, W),
of the world-wheel (the eternally changing world,
round a fixed, unchanging centre or god)...
the image of the swastika was used by many cultures
around the world, including in near and far east ,
north america, africa and europe.
of all the symbols and marks produced by ancient and
modern man the swastika is the most contradictory.
the consequences of the false relationship between
it and its 'modern corporate identity', the swastika became
inextricably wed to the hitlerian cult of german nationalism
and racism.
in ancient egypt the tau was used, along with a type of
hammer-headed cross and the swastika, to mark sacred water
jars and, in a country where the erect phallus was everywhere
in evidence as a religious icon.
the tau may have developed from the widespread and
ancient symbol of the sun god (solar cross / wheel cross)
- which may itself have evolved into a hammer, possibly
connected with the growth in importance of the smith in later
iron age times. the act of hammering white-hot ingots
of metal into functional or sacred artefacts was in itself an
act of creation with a phallic implication.
it is also known to be a symbol of the roman god mithras and
the greek attis (in the shape of the greek letter 'T').
the tau was known as the 'cross' of the christian old testament,
supposed to be the mark made by faithful israelites to
distinguish them from those of their kinsfolk who had lapsed
into paganism.
the 'ankh' is an ancient egyptian hieroglyph representing life
and regeneration. called also 'crux ansata' which means
cross with a handle. it was adopted by the gnostics and the
copts as the symbolic representation of both physical and eternal life.
the top loop symbolises the sun on the horizon.
amulets and mirrors were often made in the shape of an ankh.
a modified version of the ankh symbol is used in astrology to
represent the planet venus, in alchemy to represent the
element copper,and in biology to identify the female sex.
the cross with 4 arms of equal length was a common sign
in ancient greece, in pre-columbian america, in the near east,
and in the euphrates-tigris region around 1500 B.C.
it is found on assyrian and persian monuments and tablets,
greek coins and statues.
this cross appears in our world in a variety of contexts,
for example the symbol for the red cross is a red greek cross.
the coptic alphabet is variant of the greek alphabet
containing a number of extra letters which come from
the egyptian script. the coptic alphabet came into being
during the 1-3rd century BC after the greek conquest of egypt
and the subsequent spread of the indigenous form of christianity
(coptic orthodox christianity). according to tradition, the apostle
mark established in egypt in the middle of the first century CE
(approximately 60 AD). coptic crosses reflect a number of historic
influences including greek, latin, egyptian, and celtic design
it is composed of the greek letters 'chi' (which looks like an
english 'X' and sounds like a 'ch') and rho (which looks like
an english capital 'P' and sounds like an 'r').
these two greek letters are the first two letters in the greek word
'christos'. as a pre-christian symbol, the chi-ro signified good fortune.
it became an important christian symbol when adopted by the
roman emperor constantine, in the fourth century.
this style of cross is nearly identical to the pagan symbol for the
sun and constantine was a sunworshipper before and after he
was converted to christianity. he made the cross the standard of his
armies. when christianity later became the state religion of the
roman empire, the cross became the symbol of the church.
the latin cross or 'crux immissa' is the most popular form of crosses.
during the first three centuries of christianity, the cross was
rare in christian iconography (although it is found on coins,
medals, and ornaments anteriour to the christian era and
descriptions of it are found in christian writings from the
early 2nd century onwards. the cross first became prominent
in christian imagery during the late 3rd century).
the upper arm of the latin cross and the two side arms are of
equal length while the lower arm is twice as long as any of the
other three. it was on this cross that christ is said to have been
crucified, and thus it became accepted as the christian cross.
is a decussate cross that takes the form of the roman number 10,
of an 'X' shape or saltire.
according to tradition st. andrew, the brother of st. peter, was crucified on
a cross of this shape. st. andrew did not feel worthy enough to die
on the same typology of cross that christ had died and requested
a cross of different shape. st. andrew's cross came into wide use
during the medieval period and became the national cross of scotland,
since st. andrew was the patron saint of scotland.
st. peter was executed on an upside down cross.
it is used also as a symbol of satanism.
in celtic regions of britain, scotland and ireland many free-standing
upright crosses were erected, beginning from the 8th century.
the celtic cross is a cross with a circle overlying the point where
the lines meet. a legend tells how st. patrick created the first
celtic cross by drawing a circle over a latin cross to incorporate
a pagan moon goddess symbol.
the cross lorraine, named after the region in france of the
same name; the form of the cross is used primarily in the
russian orthodox church.
the upper bar represents the inscription, abbreviated
INRI, that pilate had placed above jesus' head.
the slanted bar is lost in legend.
maybe the slanted bar forms a st. andrew's cross.
it is a symbol for white lead in alchemical texts.
is a cross with eight arms / a cross, which is superimposed
on a greek 'chi', the first letter of the greek word for 'christ'.
since the number eight is symbolic of rebirth or regeneration,
this cross is often used as a baptismal cross.
this cross is the official emblem of the papal office.
it may be used by none other than the pope himself.
the three bars represent the pope's three realms of authority:
the church, the world and heaven.
this cross was the emblem of st. clement, bishop of rome,
who according to tradition was tied to an anchor and tossed
into the sea by the emperor trajan.
it has been the anchor cross and the firm faith which keep
ed christians steady in the storms of life.
based on hebrews 6:19 which reads, 'we have this hope,
a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters
the inner shrine behind the curtain.'
some alchemical elements bear the cross sign.
for example the alchemical symbol for sulfur,
which was a triangle at the top of a cross.
(there is the biblical story of entateuch / genesis
in which hell is thought of to smell of sulfur...)
in mathematics a cross is regarded as a
'plus sign', which means 'add this to that' or
'more than' or just 'and' or 'plus'.
it appears for the first time in germany in 1489.
the hermetic rose cross is a very old mystical symbol.
the rose symbolized the redemptive power of the blood of christ;
the letters inscribed on the 4 central rays combine into INRI,
which combination represents a latin motto meaning
'nature is completely renewed by fire'.
the symbol as a whole illustrated the triumph of spirit over matter.
in the center of the rose cross there is another rose cross,
smaller but conceptually identical.
this is the microcosm that mirrors the macrocosm.
surrounding the inner cross are 22 petals containing the
22 letters of the hebrew alphabet, each colored according to
kabbalistic attributions.
the end of each arm is inscribed with symbols of the
three principles of alchemy: mercury, sulfur and salt.
thus each arm can be mapped to important trinities.
in astrology, a cross sign is really more of a symbol because
it has many levels of meaning beyond the unambiguous
name which indicates a particular sector of the sky.
after all, astrology is a symbolic language!
since ancient times a cross might mean 'the cross of matter',
which is basically what it represents in astrology, where it
appears as 'the cardinal cross'.
the vertical bar symbolizes spirit which interpenetrates the
horizontal bar representing matter, or the earth plane (horizon line).
the symbol of a cross within a circle is used to represent the
part of fortune in astrology, but it can also represent the earth itself.
is a greek cross, ancerated with 'v's cut into the ends.
the cross is almost akin to a modern maltese cross.
is a greek cross or irregular dodecahedron cross,
whose points flange out at the end.
the eight outer points of this cross are symbolic of regeneration.
they are sometimes said to represent the eight beatitudes.
it represents the sign of the military order of the knights of malta
and is a symbol of protection and a badge of honor.
in its evolution it is of medieval origin.

Thoroughbred being ridden western?
Does anyone do this? What - if any - issues might there be. I hear you have a hard time finding a saddle because of the whithers? Thanks
Posted via Mobile Device
All of our thoroughbreds are ridden western and english we have had no problems with saddle fit with 2 the 3rd is a bit difficult but nothing major.
Posted via Mobile Device
I've ridden thoroughbreds western. Fitting one with high withers is an issue, just need to find a western saddle with a higher gullet. However not all TBs have high withers. I have a QH right now that has quite high withers, more than some of the tbs I have had.
I used to ride my TB western. Never had any problems. Like horseluver said, you just have to be careful to use a saddle that can accommodate higher withers (and narrower backs, usually. Depends on how your horse is built). Proper fitting tack is kind of a no brainer. :P
i loved my first tb ex racer who was then turned into a western pleasure horse... she loved the western saddle and hitting the trails. just find a saddle that fits and your ok... if you need help with the high withers find someone who fits saddles to get you the best fit :)
my horse that I am leasing has high withers and narrow
too , so finding a saddle is hard
My 18 year old OTTB was green broke to english when I got him. He is now neck reining and a really nice trail/ putter around the farm horse. I already had a saddle that fit big horses, so that wasn't a problem for me. He has a nice big, ground covering stroll, and he now keeps a low head set, he looks very nice being ridden western.

Thanks! I'll be lookin into that then!

My first horse an ex racer was a great trail horse and could bury his tail and do an incredible roll back. He was like riding a spring, he could coil his body in beautiful floaty collection or stretch out and relax.
I rode a Thoroughbred western and I really enjoyed him

A diagnosis of kidney failure could be a real shock. And it's becoming more common as the number of Americans with diabetes and high blood pressure grows. But even with this serious diagnosis you can survive and move on.
Medicare can help. The program helps pay for kidney dialysis as well as kidney transplants.
Chronic kidney disease is a serious health problem in the United States. In 2010, more than 20 million Americans aged 20 and older had this disease.
And in 2008, nearly 550,000 Americans were getting treated for end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, which is permanent kidney failure.
Most people have to be at least 65 years old to get Medicare. But people with ESRD can get Medicare at any age. Even children with ESRD can enroll in Medicare.
ESRD is treated by dialysis, a process which cleans your blood when your kidneys don't work. It gets rid of harmful waste, extra salt, and fluids that build up in your body. It also helps control blood pressure and helps your body keep the right amount of fluids.
Dialysis treatments help you feel better and live longer — but they aren't a cure for permanent kidney failure.
Medicare covers a number of things related to dialysis.
If you're admitted to a hospital for special care, Medicare covers inpatient dialysis treatments under Part A, which is hospital insurance.
Medicare Part B covers outpatient dialysis treatments and doctors' fees for outpatient care.
Part B also pays for self-dialysis training, which includes instruction for you and the person helping you with your home dialysis treatments.
And Part B covers home dialysis equipment and supplies — like the machine and water treatment system — as well as most drugs for home dialysis.
How much would you have to pay for dialysis in a Medicare-certified facility? If you have Original Medicare, you'd pay 20 percent of the Medicare-approved amount for all covered services.
Medicare pays the other 80 percent.
Dialysis and kidney transplants are paid through Original Medicare.
In most cases, you can't join a Medicare Advantage plan if you have end-stage renal disease.
Keep in mind that dialysis can be done in your own home or in a Medicare-certified facility.
Ask your kidney doctor what facility he or she works with. Or you can look for a facility on Medicare's "Dialysis Facility Compare" Website.
It's located at medicare.gov/dialysis.
The Website has important information such as addresses and phone numbers, how far certain facilities are from you, and what kind of dialysis services the facilities offer.
You also can compare facilities by certain quality-of-care information.
If you don't have a computer, you can call toll-free, at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
Medicare Part A also helps pay for hospital inpatient services if you need a kidney transplant.
Medicare will help cover the costs of finding the proper kidney for your transplant, and the full cost of care for your kidney donor.
For more details on transplants consult the pamphlet, "Medicare Coverage of Kidney Dialysis and Kidney Transplant Services" (CMS Product No. 10128).
It's available online or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.
David Sayen is Medicare's regional administrator for California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and the Pacific Trust Territories. You can get answers to your Medicare questions by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

What is the basic criteria to decide if the two classes are loosely/tightly coupled ??
Same is the question for cohesion . I read K&B , but could not draw out a good conclusion .

When two classes are tightly coupled, the classes can access each others properties directly. To make them loosely coupled, we have to restrict direct access to a class's properties and must make use of getter/setter methods.
If the class' instance variables are made private and if they can be accessed only through getter/setter methods, it is an indicator of loose coupling with the other classes.

Classes and their methods should have a single and well-focused objetive. Imagine this scenario:
class Document{ ... public void print(Printer p){ ... } } class Printer{ ... }
In this example, we can say that
is not cohesive. The
class should have all the info related to a document, but not things that are not specifically related to a document, like printing. Its much a better idea to have a
public void print(Document d)
in class Printer, since a printer is made to print things, and a document is not made to be printed (although it can be printed).
Maybe not best explanation ever, but I hope you get the point.

For coupling issue:
Case 1: if you have loosely coupled code like this:
public class Person{ private String Name; public void setName(String name){ this.Name = name;} public String getName(){return Name;} }
Case 2 : if you have a tightly coupled code like this:
public class Person{ public String Name ; //By default the name is an empty string }
Case 1: This pseudo code demonstrates accessing a private instance variable via setta and getta.
public class StudentRecord{ public static void main (String...args){ StudentRecord record = new StudentRecord(); Person p = new Person(); record.addStudent(p); record.updateStudentRecord(p); record.printStudent(p.getName()); } public void updateStudentName(Person p){ //search the database by using the p.getName(); //prompt the user for a new and save it in String newName p.setName(newName); } public void addStudent(Person p){ ....//prompt the user for the student name p.setName(.....) ; // set the name to any name user input .... //this add the student to a database. } public void printStudent(String pName){ print(pName);} }
Case 2: This pseudo code demonstrate accessing a public instance variable directly.
public class StudentRecord{ public static void main (String...args){ StudentRecord record = new StudentRecord(); Person p = new Person(); record.addStudent(p); record.updateStudentName(p); String studentName = p.Name; record.printStudent(studentName); } public void updateStudentName(Person p){ //search the database using the p.Name; //prompt the user for the new student name and save it in String newName variable ; p.Name= newName; } public void addStudent(Person p){ ....//prompt the user for the student name p.Name = ... ; // set the name to any name user input .... //this add the student to a database. } public void printStudent(String pName){ print(pName);} }
In case 1, a StudentRecord object is loosely coupled to Person object.
In case 2, a studentRecord object is tightly coupled to Person object as it manipulate a person object by p.Name!
If you are working for a big unversity system, you may have to deal with distributed computing system where subtasks can be done in parrell by multiple users. The above StudentRecord application has to be enhanced so that the tasks can be performed in parrell. Suppose you and Mr. Johnson are the university database administrators. You perform the add student tasks and Mr.Johnson performs the update student name task concurrently.
Here is the possible execution sequence for case 2:
1. You want to add student called Mary Smith to the database while Mr.Johson wants to update Mary Smith into Jane Smith. After you add Mary Smith, you want to print her name out. After Mr. Johnson updates Mary's name to Jane, he will print her name out.
2. In this scenario, you and Mr.Johnson perform tasks concurrently.
2.1 You add Mary Smith , studentName is set to "Mary Smith" by using p.Name
2.2 Mr.Johnson updates Mary into Jane.
2.3 You print out the studentName, and you will get "Mary Smith". (No! Mary is renamed into Jane now!)
In this case, you know this person's name is Mary , but you don't know Mr.Johnson updates her name.
Conclusion: A change in an object cause bad effect on your system. That is the disadvantage of tightly coupling.
Here is the possible execution sequence for case 1:
1.1 You add Mary Smith.
1.2 Mr.Johnson updates Mary into Jane.
1.3 You print out her name using p.getName(). Yes! You will get "Jane Smith".
In this case, you don't need to know this person's name is as long as you use p.getName() and you don't need to care Mr.Johnson has already updated her name.
Conclusion: A change in an object does not affect your system. That is the advantage of loosely coupling.

One more thing I want to add about the StudentRecord example is that I have an assumption that the database is synchronized for concurrent access. No two DB admins can access them at the same time.
This may not be a good example. But I want to demonstrate about the degree of coupling. The degree of coupling ranges from tighly couple to loosely couple. There are some software metrics to calculate the degree of coupling. Software metric is not in the exam , and it is another expert's topic.
In the example, I just want to demonstrate the simple aspects about tighly coupling and loosely coupling. This is not a perfect example.
If you, as one of the DB admin, use a piece of application code to access student's record by using p.Name and save the name in a variable for your further development, your application code must be tightly coupled to the student record. Chances are good that the student's name will be updated and your application code is still using the old name.
One the other hand, if you, use a piece of applcation code that accesses student's record by using p.getName() , your application code's degree of coupling to the student record is decreased. Your application code does not care what p's name is. Your application code access the student record through its API only, not directly access its data.
When a piece of code is developed, it should know other objects' encapsulated data as little as possible. Sometimes, a well encapsulated code supports loose coupling even though encapsulation and loose coupling are two different unrelated OO principles.
Again, this is not a perfect example. But the major issue you will be tested is loosely coupling will have less bad effect on your code, according to KB's practice exam.

"Object-oriented programming has two main objectives: to build highly cohesive classes and to maintain loose coupling between those classes.
"Cohesive means that a certain class performs a set of closely related actions. A lack of cohesion, on the other hand, means that a class is performing several unrelated tasks. Though lack of cohesion may never have an impact on the overall functionality of a particular class or of the application itself the application software will eventually become unmanageable."
"Whenever one object interacts with another object, that is a coupling.Strong coupling means that one object is strongly coupled with the implementation details of another object. Strong coupling is discouraged because it results in less flexible, less scalable application software. However, coupling can be used so that it enables objects to talk to each other while also preserving the scalability and flexibility."
Tell the difficulties that i am difficult.

I was just looking around the site, when I came across a new gear item on ROBLOX's profile. I immediately thought that this could be the item given to all users who attend the ROBLOX Rally on Monday! It looks quite interesting and has got positive feedback from users who have tested it out in-game.
So what do you think? Do you think it's the virtual item for the ROBLOX Rally? You can find the Bongos HERE.

I believe one needs to ask what we have given these folks to sell this area? A corrupt and disfunctional School System, all the way up to ASU. A record high medical cost area when compared to other locations firms could operate in. A dysfunctional governmental structure that seems to have everything sight set up for failure and maximum profit for their friends. I don't care how much money you throw at it, for them to get a ligitimate Company to come here they would have to pull off one of the biggest cons in history.

Quality of life is a big factor in attracting a good workforce and good employers. A person moving to Albany had better get a $20,000 raise to overcome the costs of private school for two after taxes etc. And what on earth would make anyone think Albany is competitive with property taxes in other area? Crime and medical costs are also big nails in the coffin.
I don't see ever being savvy enough to pull off getting a new major employer. It will be fortunate to hang on to what is now here but that won't last much longer.
GeeGee 2 years, 8 months ago
Walt you said it all. This town could show some tricks to Chicago. Albany will never ever have a major industry to locate here even though all the powers from the Chamber down like to toot their horn that they are doing it. If we get as many businesses as non profits cropping up we would be the largest town in Georgia instead of the laughing stock. Browse the internet and look at what bloggers are saying about Albany. Nothing good I can assure you.

In the past decade automobile assembly plants (with good paying jobs) are being built in Alabama, South Carolina, other parts of Georgia, and even in Ohio, and we haven't been in the running for one. Even with our rail service, proximity to Interstate highways etc. I don't recall an auto maker wanting to come here. These other places must be doing something right. My Honda, including the engine and tranny was built in Ohio in a small town 20 miles north of Columbus. What are they doing that we are not doing?
KaosinAlbany 2 years, 8 months ago
Education, my friend, is what it boils down to. These companies will not come to an uneducated city. Too much risk for the company to take.
RedEric 2 years, 8 months ago
Yes, crime and lack of education in public schools. We had several candidates turn us down for those reasons. DCSS graduates that are functionally illiterate. What can an employer do with someone who cannot read instructions? Most of the properties in Albany pay no taxes. Crime isn't just some thug on the street, it is churches sucking huge amounts of money from government with nothing to show for it. School systems under State investigation. A charity hospital with bank accounts in Cayman Island. This is an episode where Boss Hogg wins. Lying and stealing done openly, so it doesn't take much investigation to find the awful truth. And yet most of the people make wonderful neighbors and we are located in a beautiful part of Gods world. Go figure.

I don't pay much attention to the events in Albany because I don't live there or even in the county but have in the past been to Phoebe for a test that was only available there. I like to read the blogs where Phoebe is mentioned because I find it interesting that a hospital can run a city/county the way it does. I see the "Cayman Accounts" mentioned from time to time. Where did this rumor start (or is it fact?). Just curious. I know in years past when my Bearcat scanner would pick up cell phone calls I used to hear some very interesting things about the hospital from employees within and from outsiders. Can't recall anything about accounts but did hear some "gossip" that was funny.
waltspecht 2 years, 8 months ago
Yes, the Cayman accounts were real at one time and still may be. Then there are the $100 cigars and junkets for their execs.
agirl_25 2 years, 8 months ago
Well thanks for the heads up....I found this interesting article and had no idea even ABC News did a big story on Phoebe. Wonder if it is time to contact ABC News and give them a heads up on the latest Phoebe is pulling. Anyway, here's the URL:
YIKES...this article lists $2.6 BILLION..yes with a B..in secret accounts ....

How about this Squawk Albany Herald: The house where the gang drive by/murder was at a couple of Sundays ago is owned by the City of Albany/DCED. Look it up for yourself. Google Qpublic and search property tax records for 514 Willard Ave.
VSU 2 years, 8 months ago
The question is, why would any auto assembly plant want to be located in Albany? Why would any major industry want to be located in Albany? What does Albany have to offer that would make them want to come to Albany? Albany used to have plenty of industry, but most of those that we had either closed down or relocated somewhere else. Albany is like an industrial graveyard. We are lucky we still have what we currently have (MCLB, Miller/Coors, P&G), and even those that are left is no guarantee how long they will be here.

Lee County could potentially become like Gwinnett county. That place is bustling and it's all because they took advantage of Atlanta's shortcomings. Imagine a large venue like the Gwinnett Center with quality acts coming on a regular basis. The demographics are in place and premium ticket prices would likely ensure that it would not to into a typical Dougherty county fiasco.
whattheheck 2 years, 8 months ago
Gwinnett is not the the place of choice it formerly was. Check the demographics, they are not what used to be. It now has 1,900 units on the Sec 8 plan. "White persons not hispanic" is 43%. Its best days are in the rear view mirror.
WTFwtf 2 years, 8 months ago
Albany has a toxic mix of low education minorities, bible thumpers who r still fighting the civil war and old folks who r life long residents. All governed by simple criminals. Send all the "thoughts n prayers" u want but your town is doomed Detroit style.

Which player is most overrated?
Originally Published: March 13, 2010ESPN.com
Earlier in the World Cup 101 series, we ran our list of the top 50 players you'll see in the World Cup.
For every superstar who impresses us with his scoring ability or defensive skill, however, there is a player with a superstar reputation who doesn't always live up to that perception. Here are some choices for most overrated player in this year's World Cup. Who do you think deserves that label? Discuss in the comments section below.

U.S. stealth jets join drills with South Korea
WASHINGTON — The United States sent F-22 stealth fighter jets to South Korea on Sunday to join military drills aimed at underscoring the United States' commitment to defending Seoul amid an intensifying campaign of threats from North Korea.
The advanced, radar-evading F-22 Raptors were deployed to Osan Air Base, the main Air Force base in South Korea, from Japan to support ongoing bilateral exercises, the U.S. military command in South Korea said in a statement that urged North Korea to restrain itself.
"(North Korea) will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, which will only further isolate North Korea and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia," the statement said.

BY now, anyone reading this will have reached their absolute limit on the subject of gift giving and getting, in, as they say, the Year of Our Lord, 2009. As the harrowing last 12 months of the tempestuous Noughties draw to a close, the high-pitch bling-shriek of the glossies and the colour supplements, the clutter clatter on the high streets and the insidious whine of e-trade seem ŌĆō unless you are a Bonus Banker of course ŌĆō to be falling on tone-deaf ears.
HavenŌĆÖt retailers heard? Flat is the new black! Time to be a little humble, merchants, or there will be only humbug! The shop-a-hols will no longer serve to cure all ills as formerly conspicuous consumers, battered but wiser, and with a new perspective on taste and value, seem willing to spend it, but with far more discretion than in Christmases Past. Great lessons are to be learned from this particular season about consumer mood and choices, and better how to make Christmas FutureŌĆÖs jingle bells ring. One thing is certain, extra glitter and the bacchanal of materialist fantasy can no longer divert entirely, even temporarily, consumer attention from our current woes. As Luxury Briefing Conference attendees considered recently, the unsustainable growth patterns (including the all-important and guilt-inducing retail ŌĆśnumbersŌĆÖ) that seem to have gotten us into such a very merry mess, are so VOP: Very Old Paradigm, that is.
Among an increasing number of new books on the subject, Prosperity Without Growth by Tim Jackson examines our worst failure of economic growth since the Second World War and various options for dealing with it. The emerging crisis of past-peak oil reserves has re-kindled new thinking, as the Financial Times reports, ŌĆ£…the sense that our prevailing economic model is bankrupt, allied to fears that the world is heading for catastrophic climate change, has stoked demands for a radical re-think of the guiding principals of modern capitalist democracies.ŌĆØ
Will all this shifting even affect the tradition of gifting as a civilised way to celebrate the year-end religious dates on the calendar? Some families have called off the booty trade altogether in favour of travel budgets to bring people close. Friends are exhibiting a kind of reverse snobbery by favoring homespun presents from country fairs over fancy label cashmere… in a box. At this point everyone thinks itŌĆÖs chic to recycle wrapping paper and ribbon. The mad glam department store windows with sleighs-full of party animals in dominatrix footwear and punk hairdos seem especially not to reflect the realities of this year and this moment. Is a single precious item spotlit on a simple background a better message for the new decade? Do retailers even have a message? Except for Go Donner Go Blitzen Go!
The hotspot for a radical rethink on gift-giving is Genevieve VaughanŌĆÖs web site www.gift-economy.com. She has devoted her professional life to understanding principles of what she calls the Gift Economy and her theories have been recently undergoing a great resurgence. Can and will luxury and retail executives understand the evolving customer base, observe the mounting evidence and stretch their thinking outside of the box, so to speak? Not only to figure out what doesnŌĆÖt sell and what doesnŌĆÖt work, but also what doesnŌĆÖt resonate. For how to gauge the latter, outside help may be necessary; some of the most important next steps may not make sense from a businessmanŌĆÖs limited perspective. ItŌĆÖs change or be changed!
Change is the new ka-ching.

Fitch comments on EU summit results
Posted By Peter Boockvar On December 12, 2011 @ 12:15 pm In Analysts,MacroNotes | Comments Disabled
After Moody's did earlier today, Fitch is giving its thoughts on Friday's EU summit. "It seems that a 'comprehensive solution' to the current crisis is not on offer." They acknowledged the initiation of an "institutional and policy framework for a more viable eurozone and ultimately greater fiscal union, but taking the gradualist approach imposes additional economic and financial costs compared with an immediate comprehensive solution. It means the crisis will continue at varying levels of intensity throughout 2012 and probably beyond, until the region is able to sustain broad economic recovery." Fitch didn't define what a 'comprehensive solution' would look like however. On the ECB Fitch believes they are "the only truly credible firewall against liquidity and even solvency crisis in Europe." "Hopes that the ECB would step up its actions in support of its sovereign shareholders as a quid pro quo for institutional and legal changes that gave the ECB greater confidence in the long run commitment of eurozone governments to fiscal discipline appear to have been misplaced." It is this lack of ECB step up in its actions that I believe the markets are most upset with.

BLOOMFIELD — Bloomfield School District Superintendent Joe Rasor has announced he will retire at the end of this school year.
Rasor made the announcement during the district's board of education meeting on Tuesday evening. Rasor, who has spent 45 years in education, will retire as head of the district on June 30.
"I'm turning 67 in September, and I've decided I want to spend time with my grandkids," Rasor said.
Rasor was confirmed as superintendent in February 2010, after serving as interim superintendent for about five months when the former superintendent, Randy Allison, resigned in October 2009.
Rasor started his career teaching at the Cottonwood Day School in Chinle, Ariz. He moved to Bloomfield after transferring to the Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle Community School as guidance counselor.
He has held several positions in Bloomfield's school district, including as teacher and principal at the old Rio Vista Middle School, assistant principal at Central Primary Elementary and the district's assistant superintendent and its special education director.
Joe Rasor and his wife, Julie, plan to remain in Bloomfield.
"A lot of people don't realize that Bloomfield is really a nice place," Joe Rasor said. "There's a lot of great people here. I couldn't live any other place."
School board members will start developing qualifications for the new superintendent at the work session before September's board meeting, said James Conyers, president of the board.
"I know Mr. Rasor has been thinking about this for some time," Conyers said. "He's certainly done a great job in Bloomfield, and it's going to be a challenge to find a replacement."

Two Remarks on the Property-Rights Literature
The authors first point out that the recent property-rights literature is based on three assumptions: (1) that contracts are always subject to renegotiation; (2) that the exercise of a property right confers a private benefit and (3) that parties are risk-neutral. Building on Hart-Moore (1999), they provide conditions under which an optimal contract consists of nothing more than an assignment of property rights. The authors also examine the robustness of some of the literature's standard predictions about asset ownership to the introduction of mechanisms for eliciting parties' ex post willingness to pay for the assets (such as options or financial markets). To illustrate the issue, they revisit the Hart-Moore (1990) proposition that joint ownership is suboptimal, and argue that ownership by a single party is dominated by joint ownership with put options.

If you are looking for a home improvement project that will add grace, beauty, and charm to your home, then wrought iron gates could be the answer.
The term 'wrought ironwork' is used loosely to describe decorative forged metalwork, including steelwork.
Wrought iron gates can be incorporated into many different styles of home decor, both inside and outside. Here are some examples of how you could incorporate Wrought Iron Gates within your Devon home.
Many Devon homeowners use wrought iron gates at the entrance to their home. These gates range vastly in size and design. Wrought Iron gates can range from elaborate and imposing to a small, charming garden gate. Usually the large gates are seen as entrances to a driveway and are often mounted on stone pillars. This style of wrought iron gate can no onlyt be used for decorational purposes but they also double up as an effective security device.
Smaller wrought iron gates are popular entrances to garden areas also. If you have wrought iron patio furniture, this type of garden gate can really set off the appearance of your garden. This type of decorative wrought iron furniture is also available from Paul Gilbert, Devon.

Devon Fencing Contractors, offer some advice on choosing the right fence for your needs.
Garden fencing can serve many purposes, but one of the best is to accent and define areas of your garden.
Whether you choose a six or twelve inch high border edging, or stand a section of post and rail garden fencing in the center of a sweep of lawn, garden fencing can add a beautiful accent to your landscaping. Take a look at some novel, unusual ways to use garden fencing to make your garden a showplace that will be the envy of the neighbourhood.
Wood lattice makes attractive garden fencing that affords some privacy while allowing glimpses of the garden. Lattice boards set into a wooden privacy fence add a whole new design dimension to the frontage of your garden.
A single width of lattice fencing can provide a screen or windbreak, and support for any climbing vines. Set a lattice panel at the edge of the garden nearest the house and train morning glories to climb it to provide a scenery wall outside a kitchen or bedroom window, or create a simple arbor with two full height lattice panels set six to eight feet apart. Use thick garden twine to create a 'bridge' for vines to climb across and form a living 'roof'.
Border edging is another extremely versatile garden fencing option. Think outside the perimeter. You can use wire garden fencing to create smaller accents within a garden plot, or outline one corner or end of a garden with cast iron border edging.
Cedar shakes or redwood blocks can be used to create curved borders for slightly raised garden beds, or serve as a backdrop over which to spill indigo lobelia or white alyssum. Create a zigzag border of decorative low picket garden fencing and plant zinnias or marigolds in the V-shaped 'teeth' for a unique look.
Garden fencing can be used to create a beautiful background for patio dining. Choose a metal trellis and install it just off the patio edge behind the table and dining set. Twine climbing roses up over it to create an accent that defines the edge of the patio and creates an elegant, tasteful accent to your patio and garden at the same time.

Another popular fencing option for paddocks and pastures is PVC. PVC fencing is made from plastic tubing that is shaped and cut to look just like wooden fencing options. It does require much less maintenance as they will not break or rot. However PVC fencing is nowhere near as strong as wooden fencing.
This type of fencing is becoming increasingly popular amongst horse owners and can be used either by itself or in addition to say, wooden fencing.
An electric fence simple uses a charge pack to emit electrical currents through a wire, when touched it will deliver an electric shock. It will not injure the horse but will teach the horse not to to make contact with the wire.
