46 pages, 1 colour photo, 4 b/w line drawings, 1 b/w map
California Academy of Sciences
Part 6 of the Flora of Chiapas is the first publication in the series that contains accounts of more than a single family (Part 2 did not treat genera of pteridophytes within families). This permits the timely publication of several smaller families that have been prepared for the Flora. An account for each of these five families is presented in its entirety by one or more specialists familiar with the plants in southem Mexico. Treatments for at least four other families, large and small, are being prepared for future parts of the Flora.

I suggested a few days ago in the "over-logging" thread to clean up debug messages which should - now that 2.0 is stable - indicate what Cocoon is doing rather that debug the internals of components (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=100955234514600&w=4 ). > Also ones who do use Cocoon for developing are annoyed by this. > If I'm developing an app with Cocoon, this type of quick info is invaluable. > Also, warnings I talk about are not warnings that are now logged, but > warnings that have to do with the current document-pipeline instance, ie are > about developing *with* cocoon. Xalan outputs warnings, where are they in > Cocoon? Should they be in the logs? I don't think so. I do. Most people who are developping *with* Cocoon write XSPs and actions, some write transformers and business-logic components. And all these are Avalon components which have immediate access to a Logger. So people quickly become familiar with getLogger().debug() and log files. If we want to avoid laughs like the one you experienced, we should not develop a parallel logging system to hide the existing one, but clean up what we already have so that it gives _useful_ information to users. Debug statements cleanup and reorganization of logging categories is the key to that. > >>Also, propagating the Notifyings object down to low-level objects >>(e.g. TraxErrorHandler) may be really difficult. >> > > This is why I put a list of Notifying Objects in the Env.

Why don't you "tail -f" the log file in a separate window while requesting a page ? You simultaneously see the result and the produced warnings, if any. That's way easier than requesting a second time the same page with an additional parameter, especially for POST requests ;) I also use a GUI to follow logs while requesting a page (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=100956335005569&w=4 ).

You're right if the handle-errors should be able to handle _any_ exception as is the case today. If you have specialized handle-errors like I suggested below, the exception only _triggers_ the handle-errors and this one is free to do anything afterwards (e.g. displaying a regular page). > Isn't this FS? Don't think so : you don't want to always dump a stack trace when there's an exception. Only unexpected exceptions (i.e. real errors) can lead to that. There can be a number of well-known exceptions in a webapp that should stop the current pipeline but don't dump a standard error message. The current assiociation of ResourceNotFoundException to type="404" is an example of that. >>The fixed error DTD is a good thing for objects that don't know how to >>render themselves as XML (i.e. most of them).

Good point. You're right : this avoids yet another component type. But categorizing exceptions makes IMO the sitemap more readable. It's like the following code snippets : try { ... } catch(ResourceNotFoundException rnfe) { // resource not found } catch(Exception e) { // other exceptions } and try { ... } catch(Exception e) { if (e instanceof ResourceNotFoundException) { // resource not found } else { // other exceptions } } Both are equivalent, but the first one is more readable.

If nobody in all this time touted it as > inadeguate, it's not so bad, isn't it ;-) Mmmh. Or maybe people didn't understood, like I did, what to do with this too closed stuff... I've been working on C2 since around march 2001 and AFAIK nobody ever talked about a class he wrote implementing Notificable. Sorry to say that nobody can tell if it's bad or not because it seems nobody uses it. >>- Notifyings for chaining warnings : it will be difficult to implement, >>cannot be filtered like getLogger().isWarnEnabled(), and will confuse >>people : should they use logger or notifying ? >> > > Difficult to implement?

Once again, I totally disagree. If people start using Notifying because log messages are messy, you will quickly want an Alarmable interface or whatever because there are too much Notifying objects with useless messages. We should clean up existing stuff by reducing the number of logs, output useful and meaningful messages, structure the log hierarchies, and if needed define system-wide loggers for categories orthogonal to component functions (deprecation is an example of this). So -1 for a list of Notifying in the object model. My opinion is that when an exception occurs while handling a pipeline, only one object representing the error should be available in the object model, and only in the <handle-errors> part of the pipeline. I'd be interested to hear also other people's opinion on all this (maybe next year ?) >> >>BTW, what is your first name : Nicola or Ken ? >> > > Legally my first name is Nicola Ken, because in my town they deleted all > second names for their informative system :-/ > But really it's Nicola and Ken the second. > My full name is Nicola Ken Barozzi. > I'm Italian but my father worked in Japan for 20 years (I was there 5) so he > gave me a japanese name also (Ken). > The funny thing is that here they call me Ken, in Japan Nico(l|r)a! > Whatever you prefer :-) Oh, complicated story !

A. Lange & Söhne - Grand Lange
A watch fit for the best-the Grande Lange. A history of how these luxury timepieces came into being and why they will make their mark on the world of horology.
"We want to build the world's finest watches again," say A. Lange & Söhne master watchmakers. And A. Lange & Söhne's "Grand Lange" watch takes the world's finest watch to an even grander scale. Before, delving into this luxurious timepiece, it is important to discuss its antecedent.
While the company itself has a rich German family heritage of crafting luxury watches, there is one moment that exemplifies magnificence. Post WWII, most of company was obliterated by Russian bombers; what survived was expropriated by the regime. Decades later, when Germany was reconciled, so was the company. While bombs destroyed the workshops, the knowledge of and passion for horology lived on within the family. Since this moment captured the great resilience of the company, they needed a watch that would match; and the Lange 1 watch was born.
In an effort to continue family's heritage of passion, resilience, ingenuity and triumph, its sibling, the Grand Lange was created. Always striving to be the best, this luxury timepiece delivers. The bigger case diameter allows the signature features of the Lange 1 – the unique displays over a silver dial – remains unchanged. Additionally, the quality precision that is synonymous with A. Lange & Söhne is never compromised. In the tradition of grandness, the hour, minute, and small seconds have been magnified due to the larger timepiece; this is the watch for the successful individual who believes in going big or not at all. Despite, it's larger size, the watch still has a potent power reserve of three days when fully wound. This watch is shock-proof and timed for accuracy in five different positions; meanwhile the watch goes through 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour. But this opulence is not limited to the machine's technology, every crevice (even the ones that are not visible) is full of it. Treasure like gold, platinum, sapphire-crystal, unadulterated German silver, and fifty-three synthetic ruby jewels make up this luxury watch.

After the Enron and WorldCom accounting scandals battered investors' confidence in corporate America's integrity, Congress rightly concluded that the nation could no longer afford to have the accounting industry police itself. Last year, it created the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a government entity charged with setting standards for auditors to follow, as well as with reviewing their work and disciplining those who betray the public trust.
After a rather slow start for the new five-member board -- which included the disastrous effort last fall by Harvey Pitt, the former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to make William Webster the board's chairman -- it now has a leader who is well suited for the challenge ahead. William Donaldson, Mr. Pitt's replacement as S.E.C. chairman, announced on Tuesday that the job would go to William McDonough, the retiring president of the New York Federal Reserve.
Mr. McDonough, a registered Democrat, is widely respected as a bank regulator. The New York Fed is one of the key nerve centers of the world's financial system, and Mr. McDonough has played an important role on such matters as developing international capitalization requirements for banks and reacting to crises like the implosion of the Long-Term Capital Management hedge fund. He has also been an outspoken critic of some corporate practices.
Though not an accountant, Mr. McDonough is clearly qualified for the job. Moreover, his considerable stature -- he is often mentioned as a possible successor to Mr. Greenspan -- will confer upon the new board some sorely needed credibility.
Mr. McDonough must be aggressive in building a tough regulatory body. Only by clamping down on auditors' conflicts of interest, reviewing their practices and punishing negligence will the new board strengthen the credibility of companies' financial statements. Many in the accounting industry have been hoping that as corporate scandals recede from the front pages, the new board will once again outsource to them the task of writing standards and reviewing others' audits. Disappointing them ought to be Mr. McDonough's top priority.Continue reading the main story

Reminds me of the Caddyshack scene.......Judge Smails (Ted Knight) is chasing Danny Noonan around the bedroom with a golf club after catching him in bed with his niece....... Hilarious.
Of course.....it becomes less and less funny every year as my 8 year-old daughter gets older......

Where does the Castle law say the intruder has to have forced his way in?
Gun control is hitting what you aim at

(1) A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if:(a) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person's will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and
(b) The person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.
(2) The presumption set forth in subsection (1) does not apply if:(a) The person against whom the defensive force is used has the right to be in or is a lawful resident of the dwelling, residence, or vehicle, such as an owner, lessee, or titleholder, and there is not an injunction for protection from domestic violence or a written pretrial supervision order of no contact against that person; or
(b) The person or persons sought to be removed is a child or grandchild, or is otherwise in the lawful custody or under the lawful guardianship of, the person against whom the defensive force is used; or

Dad shouyld walk.
Can somebody do a follow up on this?
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
If a dad of a teenage girl walks in on a situation as described here, he has no way of knowing what in the world is going on, and almost none of the possibilities are good.
The boy is lucky he wasn't shot; or subject to a quick surgical removal of the critical parts.
The girl is probably in need of some professional help.
And the grand jury should no-bill this one because it will go nowhere if any of the jury members are dads who have raised girls.
First off I DID NOT READ THE POSTS . Second off I raised a daughter , and from the stand point of my daughter , well if attention was in any way unwelcome she would have cut out the " dad " portion of retribution . My daughter is 21+ years old nowadays , and should i find a nekked fella well i promise he is going to have to set down at the " dinner " table and explain himself , just as i find him . Now understand i have put the " band " on kids who had only an intrest in my daughter . in the past . I am a redneck . ( for a compairison figure that the humiliation of getting a glorified rubber band on you balls ( which will make them fall off ) is nothing to what you get when you go to the er to get it off .. and the other option s a buddy with a pocket knife . YES i do do this . Yes folks do hate me . Yes they do say they will sue . So far not only have i not been sued , but i have not paid for anyone when they go to the er to protect manhood . I should point out tho that its only a couple of times , usualy my word is good . and as a side note my grown daughter hates me on this issue because she has had to go several hundred miles ( even considering collage ) to get someone to " date " her . Bad Bad dad . What can i say .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
She's 15 year old. Jeebus Kristo, the age of consent is 16 in most states! She was with her 15 year old boyfriend, not some 35 year old rapist. Yeah, he snuck in. That's very disrespectful. It's hardly cause for the death penalty or bodily mutilation, though.
Nobody said anything about this girl being a prostitute for drugs. Do you honestly believe that a teenager (boy or girl) that fools around with his/her boyfriend or girlfriend at 15 years old needs professional help? Gimme a break.
I've got a daughter. I can certainly understand why this guy whacked the kid with a pipe and ran him out of the house. But shooting or mutilating him? Uh...no.
Slow is smooth.....smooth is fast.
But, charging the dad in this case is way wrong. (Although I think he needs to get his act together and figure out what is going on under his own roof.)
Whatever, I hope it was "love" and passion, and not the sort of thing I mentioned earlier in this thread. An out of control teenage "lady" is a parent's nightmare.
Teenagers are highly skilled at pulling off crap there parents are clueless to. DO you remember being a teenager? Did your parents know everything you were up to ? It is VERY difficult keeping up with them. I've found people in my house my teenager brought in ( never naked in the bedroom ) and warned them I'd better be asked first and informed of who was coming in my home, or things could get ugly & FAST, IF I were to be surprised. I take security and the safety of family & home very seriously. They got the message. Heat of the moment reaction by the dad and I don't think any father with a drop of testosterone in his body would blame him.
I would hope that some of these replies are "slightly" exaggerated in what you would do.
Was none of you guys ever teenagers? Or did you go instantly from babies to the gun toting macho men you are today?
I would also think that it would be fairly easy to tell the difference between a girl being raped and two teenagers "consenting" with each other.
The boy did have some balls though, I will hand him that, but then again when you are that age, sometimes you aren't thinking clearly.
Maybe it's just cause I'm "only" 23 and I remember my teenage years. Hell, I did things like this (mostly done before bring her home though...), and I wasn't even a bad kid.

so... do i want to pay 10,000 dollars to make all the boys think twice before thinking about a relationship with my daughter? It will definitely narrow it down to serious inquiries only...
This story is missing several things...If they both are minors then it's against the law (if they were having sex)...It's sad that the Parents aren't that attentive or working so much to pay attention to their child...Also did the gentlemen break in(wink wink) or just walked right in..My guest usually comes through the front door not the window (which in my opinion is breaking in)

Or how old the lover was? I think the father lost it. Now, if the daughter were 14 and the lover 25, I can understand the anger. In that case, just have him arrested.

Speechly Bircham is to launch its first international offices, opening in Luxembourg and Zurich at the end of a year that saw turnover grow by 2 per cent.
The firm's foray overseas has seen it hire a two-partner team of local lawyers to launch in the Grand Duchy. Banking partner Françoise Pfeiffer, who was formerly at Oostvogels Pfister Feyten before setting up her own firm two years ago, and tax consultant Chokri Bouzidi will head a team of associates.
Meanwhile, private client partner Mark Summers is relocating to Zurich to lead Speechly's new office in Switzerland.
Managing partner Michael Lingens said the firm was aiming to attract high-net-worth individuals and family offices as clients in both jurisdictions, together with private banks and fiduciaries.
At the same time Speechlys has hired Akin Gump of counsel Ashley King-Christopher as a partner in its London tax group to tie in with the services offered by the new offices.
The news comes after the firm saw revenues rise from £58.4m in 2009-10 to £59.7m in the last financial year. Lingens said profitability was projected to be down between 5 and 10 per cent from last year's average profit per equity partner figure of £428,000, although figures were yet to be finalised.
Lingens said the firm's transactional teams had performed strongly during the past 12 months, but a lack of significant cases had pulled litigation revenues down.
Significant investment in people and the two new offices meant increased costs outweighed the rise in turnover, Lingens added.

The body of a fourth miner was discovered in Gleision Colliery last night, in a final crushing blow to a small Welsh community that had clung tenaciously to the hope that someone would be pulled alive from the earth.
Click HERE for graphic (114 kb)
"We've tried to bring this safely to its conclusion. Unfortunately the conclusion we have is the one none of us wanted," said Peter Vaughan, Chief Constable of South Wales Police, confirming that Phillip Hill, Charles Breslin, David Powell and Garry Jenkins had all perished in the worst British mining accident in three decades. "I can't begin to imagine what the families are going through," said Mr Vaughan. "We've been humbled by the community spirit that's been shown during this most tragic of incidents."
As David Cameron offered his condolences on a "desperately, desperately sad situation", Neath MP Peter Hain said: "This is the end we all feared but hoped against hope wouldn't happen. Extraordinary courage was shown by the families right through the night, tortuous hours of waiting. We can't imagine what they have been through.
"This has been a stab right through the heart of these local communities. There's a long tradition of mining here but nobody expected the tragedies of past generations would come today."
Throughout the day one ambulance after another, its lights extinguished, had travelled down the single-track lane to the flooded colliery in South Wales. In scenes reminiscent of generations past, rescue workers, their faces smeared in sweat and grime, had worked "tirelessly and selflessly", putting in a "super-human effort".
At the Rhos village community centre the bad news had come in waves throughout the day. Amid scenes described as "harrowing and appalling", friends and relatives wept openly as others stood about silently, impotently wondering what to do.
Well-wishers did their best to offer solace, bringing sandwiches and toys for the children while the Red Cross brought blankets and pillows.
The disaster began on Thursday morning when the miners were blasting underground. A wall, holding back water, collapsed and flooded the shaft. The seven miners inside scrambled for safety and three made it out, though one was critically injured. A father and son were separated. Andrew Powell, 23, made it out – along with Mark Lloyd, 45, and Malcolm Fifield, 46 – but almost 300 feet below ground his father David, 50, remained trapped alongside Mr Hill, 45, Mr Breslin, 62, and Mr Jenkins, 39, all men from the Swansea Valley.
Throughout the day, it had been hoped that they had found refuge in an air pocket as rescue teams worked "slowly and steadily" through the debris to clear water from the mine, excavate blockages and shore up the tunnels while pumping in oxygen. Above ground a revolutionary micro-seismic unit, which can detect and filter sounds thousands of feet below, was used for the first time in the UK in a vain attempt to find the men below.
Rescuers explained how their hopes for a successful outcome were slowly dashed as the hours wore on. The catastrophic flooding occurred down a mine shaft that jutted off to the left of the main artery after 250m.
The body of the first miner was discovered before rescuers even made it to the blast site suggesting that the man had been trying to escape to the exit. Divers who tried to swim towards the blockage were then forced to turn back because of the debris and appalling visibility.
When rescuers finally made it around the rubble they came across the body of a second miner, buried in silt. Rescuers then found a third during the early afternoon and a few hours later the fourth near by.
Even before the disaster, the close-knit villages surrounding the mine were already reeling from a separate tragedy. On Tuesday, five-year-old Harry Patterson was killed in Alltwen, a village within walking distance of the mine, when he accidentally released the handbrake of his family's Seat car.
Last night, the authorities turned their attention from a rescue operation to an investigation into how such a devastating disaster could take place.
Drift mining: The final remnant of wales's once mighty industry
* Gleision Colliery is a relic of a past era of mining that has been given a lifeline by the rising price of coal. It is a drift mine, meaning that miners can walk straight in rather than having to be lowered down a deep shaft to get to the coal. In drift mines the seam being followed can dip and rise but is generally horizontal or slightly downwards, although tunnels can be several hundred metres long.
* In 1992 there were 85 drift mines in South Wales but by 2004 just three remained, and last year the Nant Hir colliery closed, leaving just Gleision and Blaentillery. Until 2008 there was also the deep shaft mine at the Tower Colliery, but that closed down when the coal ran out. Rising coal prices, however, have encouraged a new generation of investors and there are now three medium-sized shaft mines being developed in South Wales.
* Gleision has been operational, with occasional short breaks, since the early 1960s and managed to weather the Thatcher era. It is small and privately owned, and is thought to have employed nine miners. It had two tunnels into the hillside, one of which was equipped with a conveyor to move the coal to the surface.
* Anthracite coal, one of the most valuable and cleanest forms of coal, was being dug out at Gleision. It is comparatively smokeless, making it ideal for homes that are still heated by coal.
* UK mines are heavily regulated by Health and Safety and in recent years have had a good record. The worst recent mining accident was in 1979 at Goldborne in Wigan, when an explosion killed 10 people.
* At Gleision, water broke through, either from an old mine working or a natural underground pool, into the shaft. The location of most such bodies of water are known, but some go unmapped or undetected.

EXAMPLE is set to tie the knot after announcing his engagement to Aussie
beauty Erin McNaught.
The couple confirmed that they are planning to wed after Erin was spotted
wearing a sparkler in Sydney over the weekend when the UK singer hit the
stage for the Stereosonic festival.
Erin, 30, then took to Twitter to confirm that example – real name Elliot
Gleave – had popped the question.
The former Miss Australia wrote: "Yes, Elliot and I are engaged 🙂 Thank you
everyone for your lovely well wishes xx @example."
Example, 30, then joked that his newly released album The Evolution Of Man –
which is currently at No13 in the UK Albums Chart – was losing popularity
due to the announcement.
He said: "Since I announced my engagement to @Erin_McNaught my album has
started to drop on the iTunes chart. Oh well."
The couple met in October 2011, when TV host and model Erin interviewed him
for MTV Australia.
He has previously talked to The Sun about his plans to marry and have children
over the next couple of years – and how he was lost for words and felt like
a giggly schoolkid when he first met Erin.
He said: "When I met her, because she was famous and stunning, I was a bit
stuck for words. It's not like me, I'm normally a cocky b****** with girls.
But I was like a giggly schoolkid. I don't get starstruck — well, only once
with Stevie Wonder — but she turned me into a schoolboy.
"I don't want to lose her, and if I do behave like an idiot I can tell her. I
think I'm going to get married next year and I hope to have kids the year
after. I know what I want now."

The Question
Back at home, Daja was working on a program to find a way to detect any arrivals from those humongous things that were trying to turn their city into shreds. He used a small sample from the one that was eliminated from the androids to see if it would be of any use to him.
Alas, all the things he experimented it with was all a failure. Daja could not find a simple way to figure out when the monsters will strike again.
When Daja stopped to think about what had occurred on that day, he could tell that the day before was a peculiar one. He felt some particular aura, which sure did not seem like it was any weather change. Unfortunately, he had to wait till the next arrival and he did not want to take the chance. But when he thought of the whole scene of what had happened, he remembered that strange look on Alex's face which made him wonder if Alex had the ability to sense them before the monster could possibly do anything to humanity. But the thought made him sound like he had gone mad.
Thinking more deep into the situation, Daja considered Alex being all behind this catastrophe so he could just prove to Daja that there are some people that want to make droids of their own. "But Alex wouldn't let this happen to his country or any other part of the world for that matter. Besides, I haven't even taught Alex how to make any beams of the type that the monster produced." In the end Daja made his decision that when Alex arrived from school, he would ask him directly.
Later that day, Alex had come back from school. When Daja looked at him, he could tell that Alex was very tired. "How was your day at school?"
"It was ok, I guess," replied Alex, trying to find a way to leave the room, fast.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Not really, I'm not that hungry." Alex left, skipping dinner.
When he saw Daja all his thoughts about school left and all his misery about the androids just came back on the surface. But Daja could not stand Alex's behavior anymore that he ended up getting frustrated. He ran after Alex, calling out to him until Daja grabbed Alex's hand with force, spun him around to face him and said as calm as he could. "Please Alex, you can't ignore me forever. Let's just stop and talk for a second."
Alex remained silent, getting his hand freed from Daja's grasp and left. He went to his room and started on his homework.
Daja could see that Alex wasn't ready to open up yet. So he left him to settle down for a few days, even though he did not have a chance to get his question answered.
In the afternoon, when Alex had finally completed all his studies, Rachel came inside with a tray. "I hope you are hungry. I made your favorite dish," leaving the tray next to Alex.
"Now tell me, what's going on with you and Daja? Did you boys have a fight?"
"No, we didn't. I don't want to talk about it."
"Alex, you have to let everything out. I can't stand you being like this. Daja looks really down when he sees you as well. I even caught him before, talking to himself and you know what that means?"
"Maybe it's because I disappointed him."
"I have been working here for many years and I know how everybody feels without even telling me. When I looked at Daja's face I saw that he is worried about you Alex. He can't stand you being like this anymore as much as I do. Please, just open up to me so I can help you. At least a little," said Rachel, pleading kindly to soften Alex's heart so he can talk.
Alex did not know what to do so he finally conceded and told Rachel everything, not divulging anything about the droids and the monster that nearly vanquished the city, till the day when he went to school. He could not believe how cooperative she was and how she understood what he was going through. But when he had finished talking, Rachel gave him some good advice that was very useful for him. Even though Alex thought it was a good idea, he was not really prepared to do it. Facing his problems was not one of his best abilities.
"It's ok Alex," said Rachel. "You can do it whenever you are ready. Don't push yourself. Just make sure it won't take you a long time to do it, though."
"Ok then," giving her a smile so she could be sure that he will definitely do it.
Rachel was just about to leave. "Hey Rachel," he yelled. "Thanks a lot. It really helped."
"Glad to hear it. Remember, whenever you want some support, I'm here."
"Sure," making Alex smile once more, bearing in thought what she told him.

Strawberries...FINALLY Strawberries!
They're finally here. And boy do they look plump juicy and mouthwatering. Strawberries! They're everywhere.
Dave here, and this morning on the radio we took the Valley to Strawberry School because there's so much to know. And in case you skipped class, here's what you missed...
Although picking has been light as farmers search for the best berries, our crazy warm, dry winter (Did he say WINTER?) has moved the strawberry season up a bit...about 2 weeks early thanks to that winter we never had.
Michael Yang of the U of C Cooperative Extension says, "We have a few stands open already and in about a week everyone will be harvesting. And once they are, you'll find berries everywhere."
Many Valley farmers grow the Chandler variety, a strawberry known for its sweet taste but with a limited shelf life. Others produce the Albion, sturdier and better suited to the Valley's hot temps. Some start with the Chandler and then harvest the Albion later in the season. And, unlike large-scale growers from the Central Coast who supply the grocery store chains, many Valley growers run those many road side stands which seem to pop up everywhere at this time of the year.
So, where to find the best berries? Class! Are you listening? Fresno County puts together a map listing all the strawberry stands (as well as restaurants, other fruit stands, etc.) which you can find at gofruittrail.com.
Strawberries! Mmmm! DaveT

As I watch Marylanders vote in this year's primary election, our mirage democracy seems so obvious. Democratic Party candidates, the dominant party in Maryland, spend hundreds of thousands - some spend millions - of dollars to combat each other using lies and negative attacks, printing thousands of signs, and hiring trucks to drive around with their messages. Their election is less a battle of ideas and more a battle for attention. In general, the biggest spender wins.
But what do voters get? They are left with the candidate who has the biggest ties to Wall Street money. And that's who they will represent, whether it's in tax breaks for developers, such as TIFs, or bailouts for the health insurance industry, such as the so-called Affordable Care Act.
Voters think that voting means they are participating in a democratic process, but elections in the United States are far from democratic. Big money dominates. The two big-money parties dominate. And all who challenge them are blocked from full participation. This is done to protect the status quo.
We have a serious crisis of democracy.
Grassroots democracy is a primary pillar of the Green Party. The press release below outlines some local steps that could be taken to create a real democracy in the US. Their suggestions should apply to all federal elections. Among the additions that I would include are campaign finance reform, equal air time and participation in debates for all candidates on the ballot, a constitutional right to vote and a national uniform and fair ballot access law.
Voting Green Party, and other third parties, is an act of resistance against the rigged, mirage democracy. If we want to change the status quo, we have to stop giving it legitimacy.
We have the power to elect candidates that represent the interests and will of the people. You will know who they are - they don't have a lot of signs and billboards and you won't see them on tv. They are the ones who refuse corporate money. They are the ones who talk to you on the street. They listen to what you say and answer your questions with substance.
Statement from the Green Party of NY on "Open" Primaries Lawsuit and Need for Democratic Reform
Purged Primary Voters Have the Greens' Sympathies, but Lawsuit For "Open" Primaries Fails to Address the Real Problems – and it Could Destroy Third Parties
April 19, 2016
The Green Party of New York (GPNY) has issued the below statement in response to frustrated voters calling for "open" primaries in the state of New York, and the recent lawsuit filed to that effect.
GPNY will not participate in the April 19th Primary Election for president, and instead New York Greens will vote for the Green Party's 2016 presidential nominee at a June 11 state nominating convention in Troy, NY (with a mail-in ballot available for Greens who cannot attend).
The Green Party of the United States national convention will take place in Houston, TX from August 4-7. The winner of the GPUS nomination will appear on the November 8 General Election ballot for all New York voters.
We are not surprised by reports of would-be voters in tomorrow's presidential primary discovering that they do not, in fact, belong to the party to which they registered. Many of our members experienced similar frustrations when attempting to register Green.
But the solution to this and other threats to democracy in New York is not so-called "open" primaries, as proposed in a newly-announced lawsuit , but comprehensive voting reforms to support multiparty democracy and a board of elections that operates free from partisan control.
"Open" primaries funnel unaffiliated voters into the corrupt, undemocratic duopoly parties instead of building the grassroots parties we so desperately need. And in a "fusion" voting state like New York, with the odious "Opportunity to Ballot" provision that can force parties to cross-endorse non-members, "open" primaries could obliterate the progress of third parties by flooding them with non-members intent on backing duopoly candidates.
"Open" primaries only serve the short-term interests of unaffiliated voters at the expense of party members who spend time and energy building a fighting organization with a coherent platform and agenda. Should someone who is not a member of a union be allowed to vote for who will be the president of that union? Of course not: a fundamental element of the right to freely assemble is the ability to set reasonable criteria to establish who is a member and who is not.
GPNY welcomes allies from all parties and perspectives in the fight for truly democratic reforms such as:
• End partisan control of the Board of Elections and institute rigorous transparency to banish the patronage, unprofessionalism and incompetence resulting from the current system
• Same-day voter registration for general elections and eventually move to a more European-style system where citizens of age are automatically registered to vote by default, instead of "opt-in" registration.
• Move the deadline for party affiliation changes to at least 90 days before the first primary election of the year
• Eliminate gerrymandering, which allows single-party domination of districts and makes general elections seem perfunctory, by instituting an independent redistricting commission
• Proportional representation to end the disenfranchisement of voters who support third parties and independent candidates in general elections
• Eliminate the "Opportunity to Ballot" rule and reform "fusion" voting so that candidates are not incentivised to put their name on as many ballot lines as possible in every election
You want reform? So do we. We must work together to institute real reforms that allow grassroots, democratically-run parties to grow without interference.
Resist "Mirage" Democracy by Voting Green and Working for Real Reforms
As I watch Marylanders vote in this year's primary election, our mirage democracy seems so obvious.

text: Indo-Aryan migration The separation of Indo-Aryans proper from Proto-Indo-Iranians has been dated to roughly 2000 BC–1800 BC. The Nuristani languages probably split in such early times, and are either classified as remote Indo-Aryan dialects, or as an independent branch of Indo-Iranian. It is believed Indo-Aryans reached Assyria in the west and the Punjab in the east before 1500 BC: the Indo-Aryan Mitanni rulers appear from 1500, and the Gandhara grave culture emerges from 1600. This suggests that Indo-Aryan tribes would have had to be present in the area of the BMAC (southern Turkmenistan / northern Afghanistan) from 1700 BC at the latest (incidentally corresponding with the decline of that culture). The spread of Indo-Aryan languages has been connected with the spread of the chariot in the first half of the second millennium BC. Some scholars trace the Indo-Iranians (both Indo-Aryans and Iranians) back to the Andronovo-Sintashta-Petrovka culture (ca. 2200 BC–1600 BC). Other scholars like Brentjes (1981), Klejn (1974), Francfort (1989), Lyonnet (1993), Hiebert (1998), Bosch-Gimpera (1973) and Sarianidi (1993) have argued that the Andronovo culture cannot be associated with the Indo-Aryans of South Asia or with the Mitannis because the Andronovo culture took shape too late and because no actual traces of their culture (e.g. warrior burials or timber-frame materials of the Andronovo culture) have been found in South Asia or Mesopotamia (see Edwin Bryant 2001). The archaeologist J. P. Mallory (1998) found it "extraordinarily difficult to make a case for expansions from this northern region to northern South Asia" and remarked that the proposed migration routes "only gets the Indo-Iranian to Central Asia, but not as far as the seats of the Medes, Persians or Indo-Aryans" (Mallory 1998; Edwin Bryant 2001: 216). The best evidence, however, is linguistic, 'not' archaeological (see e.g. Hans Hock in Bronkhorst & Deshpande 1999) Other scholars see some relationship between the BMAC and the Indo-Aryans. But although horses were known to the Indo-Aryans, evidence for the presence of horse in form of horse bones is missing in the BMAC (e.g. Bryant 2001). Asko Parpola (1988) has argued that the Dasas were the "carriers of the Bronze Age culture of Greater Iran" living in the BMAC and that the forts with circular walls destroyed by the Vedic Aryans of the Rigveda were actually located in the BMAC. Parpola's hypothesis has been criticized by K.D. Sethna (1992) and others. Moreover, cultural links between the BMAC and the Indus Valley can also be explained by reciprocal cultural influences uniting the two cultures. The Indo-Aryan migration is often compared and associated with the Indo-European migrations, the Indo-Iranian migrations and with other Eurasian nomads. Many scholars also believe that the Dravidian speakers migrated to South Asia from the north-west. Other migrations that are connected with South Asia include the migrations of Ghandari/ Niya Prakrit, Parya and Dumaki speakers, the Indo-Scythians, the Indo-Greeks and the Islamic conquest of South Asia. The Vedic Corpus provides no evidence for the so called "Aryan Invasion" of India Koenraad Elst The dominant paradigm concerning the presence of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo‑European language family is the so-called Aryan invasion theory, which claims that Indo-Aryan was brought into India by "Aryan" invaders from Central Asia at the end of the Harappan period (early 2nd millennium BC). Though the question of Aryan origins was much disputed in the 19th century, the Aryan invasion theory has been so solidly dominant in the past century that attempts to prove it have been extremely rare in recent decades, until the debate flared up again in India after 1990. The main attempt to prove the Aryan invasion (presented in Bernard Sergent : Genlse de l'Inde, Paris 1997) uses the archaeological record, which, paradoxically, is invoked with equal confidence by the non‑invasionist school (e.g. B.B. Lal : New Light on the Indus Civilization, Delhi 1997). Here we will consider the sparse attempts to discover references to the Aryan invasion in Vedic literature, and argue that these have not yielded any such finding. A first category consists of old but still commonly repeated cases of circular reasoning, e.g. the assumption that the enemies encountered by the tribe with which the Vedic poet identifies, are "aboriginals" (e.g. in Ralph Griffith's translation The Hymns of the Ŗgveda, 1889, still commonly used). In fact, there is not one passage where the Vedic authors describe such encounters in terms of "us invaders" vs. "them natives", even implicitly. Among more recent attempts, motivated explicitly by the desire to counter the increasing skepticism regarding the Aryan invasion theory, the most precise endeavour to show up an explicit mention of the invasion turns out to be based on mistranslation. Michael Witzel ("Ŗgvedic History", in G. Erdosy, ed.: The Indo-Aryans of Ancient South Asia, Berlin 1995, p.321) tries to read a line from the "admittedly much later" Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra as attesting the Aryan invasion: "Pr�n ayuh pravavr�ja, tasyaite kuru-panchalah k�sh�videh� ity, etad �yavam, pratyan am�vasus tasyaite g�ndh�rayas parshavo'ratt� ity, etad �m�vasyam" (BSS 18.44:397.9). This is rendered by Witzel as: "Ayu went eastwards. His (people) are the Kuru- Panch�la and the K�sh�-Videha. This is the Ayava (migration). (His other people) stayed at home in the West. His people are the G�ndh�r�, Parshu and Aratta. This is the Am�vasava (group)." This passage consists of two halves in parallel, and it is unlikely that in such a construction, the subject of the second half would remain unexpressed, and that terms containing contrastive information (like "migration" as opposed to the alleged non-migration of the other group) would remain unexpressed, all left for future scholars to fill in. It is more likely that a non-contrastive term representing a subject indicated in both statements, is left unexpressed in the second: that exactly is the case with the verb pravavr�ja "he went", meaning "Ayu went" and "Amavasu went". Amavasu is the subject of the second statement, but Witzel spirits the subject away, leaving the statement subjectless, and turns it into a verb, "am� vasu", "stayed at home". In fact, the meaning of the sentence is really quite straightforward, and doesn't require supposing a lot of unexpressed subjects: "Ayu went east, his is the Yamuna-Ganga region", while "Amavasu went west, his is Afghanistan, Parshu and West Panjab". Though the then location of "Parshu" (Persia?) is hard to decide, it is definitely a western country, along with the two others named, western from the viewpoint of a people settled near the Saraswati river in what is now Haryana. Far from attesting an eastward movement into India, this text actually speaks of a westward movement towards Central Asia, coupled with a symmetrical eastward movement from India's demographic centre around the Saraswati basin towards the Ganga basin.

I'm pretty good and photographing taller than my little self...except when there are other reference points (ie the Mustang) Then I can't fool anyone :) But thanks for believing I have long legs. In reality, they are probably the same length of your arm
