One of the better episodes. Has a 'Twlight Zone' feel to it...
I'm a sucker for time travel tales, so I really enjoyed this story. I liked the explanation of space/time travel as it reminded me of how we currently compress audio and video files to "transport" over the internet. It was amusing to think of how detailed the planning was for the aliens, and yet all it took was one incompetent amongst them in a key position to muck it all up.
Todd Johnson
Two hikers in the New Mexico desert stumble on a town that at first glance seems to be stuck in the 1920's. Further events reveal much more sinister happenings.

A futuristic tale set in a totalitarian state. An elderly scientist and his sister attempt to change the miserable state of the world by sending a military leader back in time. A fairly interesting premise that never quite gets off the ground. A rushed ending doesn't help the matter. Genre:Science Fiction
Hector Jr.
This episode was not one of my favs. I kept on wanting the old man to die. Is that bad of me? Well anyway, I thought that the episode really dragged on and could have done well if we were given more time in the past. I think it took forever to for the poison to take hold.....either way, I wanted more time in the past to see what changes, if any, would take place. It sounds like Morgan is going to start again on the better side of things. I always enjoy episodes that end in sadness and despare. But then again that's just me.
Maybe I was a bit harsh. I liked the story but it really wasn't my cup of tea. I just wanted something more to happen during the course of the show. The ending didn't really do anything for me because I felt it was uneventful. I also appreciate your great indept reviews of all the shows Paula.
This is one of the few that I really didn't care for. Particularly the way it ended. Simply having a brutal tyrant meet a certain individual would not necessarily mean that he would change his ways. A very shallow assumption. Not one of my favorites.
I was looking for more depth in the story. I wanted to hear the horrors of this man's rulings, the lost love story, or even what life in the future/past was like and how it was changed. I did like the ending. How sweet a brother was to risk his life to give his sister a bit of happiness (okay, and maybe to change the outcome of the city's future too)

I know part of the fun of reviewing are the varying viewpoints. The ending caught me a bit by surprise although it started being telegraphed a few minutes away. I actually liked how this went.
Frankly, if you want another RMT program where Norman Rose plays a brilliant man who finds a way to "go back in time" to when he meets his wife (while his future ends in a different fashion than this one) within a program that is indeed more melancholy, I'd go for "The movie makers" with Rose, Marian Seldes, Russell Horton and Earl Hammond. Seriously, at times "A point in time" felt a bit like "The movie makers".
- Although it may have involved a bit of overacting, I still LOVED Rose's character's dialogue with Ralph "The interrogator" Bell around the 18:00 mark. I don't necessarily love the words but got a kick out of the delivery when Rose said: "Colonel, you are...a JACKASS!" at 20:27.
- We hear about how one of the talents of certain great singers is that they can "hit" multiple octaves.
I think the same could be said of actors who can do young, mature and elderly characters, and one of those actors was the late, talented Evie Juster. (I STILL have never found a picture of her.)
She was called upon to do multiple "octaves" for the RMT: little kids, college-age women, ingenues and frequently, old ladies, the latter of which she could often do well.
Sometimes, though, in her elderly voice she'd say lines that would crack me up, and for some reason at 15:12 in this program when she said "'Old lady', Hmmm?"...that was one of them.
God rest your soul, Ms. Juster.
- Some nice RMT music bits on this one:
-- One of said "bits" I most remember from originally listening to the RMT is the sinister "WHAAWWWWWW" of muted trombones and/or trumpets at 20:37.
-- It's said that the young, still lithe enough though now matronly Marian Seldes started her career as a dancer.
I'd pay money to go back to "a point in time" and watch her do ballet to the simultaneously slightly ominous yet very dreamlike music at the 24:47 mark, E.G.'s second act outtro...I honestly would have loved to see the young dancer Ms. Seldes put her whole body in motion to that performance, given how she seems to have an affinity for the "mysterious".
-- At the 39:23 mark...the orchestral piece (I won't give away what's happening in the RMT show).
I downloaded a very good original Twilight Zone show episode entitled: "And when the sky was opened" (and, as we do here, totally disagreed with the reviewer of that show to whose page I linked...it was an excellent episode, IMO)...at one point, two of the main characters are in a bar.
What's playing?
That same orchestral piece.
It's always a treat watching an old TWZ and saying: "Hey, (as an RMT reviewer) I'm still hearing that music today!"
Paula Louise
Enjoyed this mystery
Gina Schackel
I loved this one. The ending is a bit like The Lady and the Tiger.
Perfect story for New Years! Another year and I'm still full of love for you Cbs Radio Mysteries!

Man, just dig, that means enjoy, to you needs and wanna be phd's. Just relax and enjoy.
From the description of the show in the summary, I assume this is the episode involving the town that seems to be stuck in the 1920's (there are two shows with the same title). I love the ending and the alacrity with which one of the two friends defects. Several RMT episodes involve tales told to psychiatrists...of course, they always end up being true.

Emphasizes New Jersey's Life Sciences Sector During Fastest Growing Business Tour
hasizing the importance of New Jersey's growing life sciences sector to the state's economy, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno today visited GENEWIZ, Inc. in South Plainfield and Burpee Materials Technology in Eatontown as part of her month-long tour of New Jersey's fastest growing businesses.
"Life science and biotechnology companies are critical to driving economic development and job growth. These innovative companies employ our highly skilled residents in good-paying jobs, take advantage of our access to global markets, and drive research leading to new products and therapies to impact the world's health," said Lt. Governor Guadagno. "The Christie Administration is committed to working with GENEWIZ and Burpee Materials as they continue to grow and create jobs for New Jerseyans."
GENEWIZ is an award-winning global contract research organization specializing in DNA services. Headquartered in South Plainfield, the company was founded in 1999 as a start-up in a 200 square foot, sub-leased lab. The company advances the research of thousands of scientists around the world with localized support in the areas of academia, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agricultural, and government.
"GENEWIZ is privileged to house our global headquarters in New Jersey. This is where our company developed into an established global genomics organization with laboratory facilities across the United States," commented Dr. Steve Sun, GENEWIZ chairman & CEO. "Since New Jersey is one of the top pharmaceutical and biotechnology hubs in the country, our customers experience the conveniences of working with a local company while also experiencing the benefits of partnering with a global organization. With the abundant talent in New Jersey, GENEWIZ has been fortunate to grow a strong team of highly talented individuals who provide superior service for our customers. Collectively with the business community, including the EDA, CCIT, and the Business Action Center, as well as NJBIA, NJBIZ, and BioNJ, we are proud to create job opportunities that help stimulate the state economy, as well as contribute to the advancement of life sciences and technologies."
Burpee Materials Technology designs and manufactures medical devices, specializing in stents and stent-like devices and components, ranging from fine neurovascular and coronary devices to large components. Headquartered in Eatontown, Burpee was founded by husband and wife team, Janet and Steve Burpee, in 1998.
"Burpee Materials Technology is pleased and honored to participate in the Lt. Governor's initiative to foster business growth in New Jersey," said Burpee's CEO Steve Burpee. "We are pleased that our success is helping to contribute to the economic growth of our state."
The Christie Administration created the Partnership for Action to serve businesses of all sizes and development stages and provide access to a variety of resources to ensure their success. Led by Lt. Governor Guadagno, the Partnership For Action (PFA) supports the vital role business plays in advancing the state's economy and creating jobs. The PFA is a three-pronged public-private approach to economic development and the starting point for all initiatives, policies, and efforts to grow New Jersey's economy and create quality, sustainable jobs in our communities. The three elements of the PFA include the Business Action Center reporting directly to the Lt. Governor and providing the business community with a single point of contact, applying a proactive, customer-service approach to businesses' interactions with State government; the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, serving as the state's "bank for business;" and Choose New Jersey, an independently funded and operated 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation created to encourage and nurture economic growth throughout New Jersey.
Businesses considering a move or in need of assistance are encouraged to call New Jersey's Business Action Center at (866) 534-7789 or visit the State's Business Portal at www.newjerseybusiness.gov.

NIOSH List-Server
NIOSH has started a list server to provide an open forum for sharing information and experiences concerning the applicaton of diesel control technologies in underground mines.
If you have any questions or problems, contact Ed Thimons at NIOSH at (412-386-6683) or email him at email@example.com.
A list-server has been established by the diesel team at NIOSH, Pittsburgh in response to the expressed and obvious need for a means to disseminate and share information and experiences concerning the application of available technologies for the reduction of miner exposures to diesel particulate matter and gaseous emissions in underground mines.
A list server is an email distribution mechanism whereby the simple act of sending an email message (called posting) to the email address of the list server, causes that message to be sent to all those persons who have signed up to receive this email (subscribers to this list server). Those receiving that message can choose:
* to reply to the list (and thus to all subscribers), or
* to ignore the message.
If you are a person who is concerned with any aspect of the application of diesel emission control technologies in underground mines, you are invited to join and participate in this list server.
You can JOIN the DIESELS-UNDERGROUND-L list server by placing the following line
JOIN DIESELS-UNDERGROUND-L Jane Ann Doe
The alternative is
SUBSCRIBE DIESELS-UNDERGROUND-L Jane Ann Doe
After replying to the list server's message, you should receive a confirmation of subscription, and a couple of welcome messages. Please read and save these messages from the list server. One provides important information on the operation of the list server including the email address for posting messages. The other is a welcome message containing additional information about the content of posted messages.
NOTE: The list of members will not be publicly accessible or accessible to any other list member excepting the list owners. However, you cannot post to the list anonymously. Members (subscribers) and nonmembers alike will be allowed to post; however, only subscribers to the list will receive the posting. Since this list is neither moderated nor edited, the content of a posting is the sole responsibility of the person posting the message and not the responsibility of the list owner or the US federal government organization (CDC-NIOSH-PRL) hosting the server.

Your humble correspondent will be watching Saturday Night Live this evening with great interest. Why? Because despite the Occupy Wall Street protests taking place at Zuccotti Park just blocks away from the studio for over a month, SNL has had only one indirect sketch on that situation despite the overwhelming comedy gold being offered up. Yes, last week SNL had a sketch about Mayor Michael Bloomberg reacting to the OWS protests but it was more of a dig at the mayor than anything else.
What makes this really strange is that OWS protests are constantly delivering up an hilarious comedy harvest whether it is the creepy "human echo" at the Occupy Atlanta Protest which kept Congressman John Lewis from speaking or trust fund baby Edward T. Hall III performing a Drama Queen denunciation of wealthy Wall Street yacht owners.
These inadvertent comedy videos are quite easy to find on YouTube such as this video (also seen below the fold) posted this morning by the appropriately self-named "f---edupchuck" whom, for reasons of delicacy, I shall refer to as "upchuck."
One positive thing to say about "upchuck" is that he has enough fashion sensibility to know that when you loudly curse out capitalism, a pair of designer Ray Ban Classic Aviator sunglasses, which sell for $139 at Neiman Marcus, is an obligatory eyewear accessory. Also note the many OWS souvenir vendors at Zuccotti Park, one of whom attempted to sell a $10 pin to upchuck. When you are done counting the number of new North Face parkas in that "anti-capitalist" crowd stand by for some incredible comedy gold at the 3:30 mark when upchuck delivers a command perfomance of his OWS dance.
So while SNL continues rehashing GOP Presidential Debate skits, the real comedy can be found on YouTube provided by many of the OWS protesters themselves. They may be ignored by the networks but to the folks online, the OWS protests are a treasure trove of YouTube comedy.

How do I apply for Carroll University scholarships/grants?
First, you have to be admitted as a full-time undergraduate student seeking your first bachelor's degree. This will determine the types of "merit" funding you qualify for based upon academic achievement. You may also apply for additional scholarships from Carroll. Review our scholarship page and talk to your Admission counselor if you wish to apply for any additional scholarships. Second, you would file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Once the Financial Aid Office receives this information from the federal processor, it will be determined if you qualify for any need based Carroll University monies. If you are a full-time undergraduate student working on your second bachelor's degree, you are not eligible for state and federal grants, but are eligible for 1/3 off of tuition.
How and when do I apply for financial aid?
You must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We recommend that the form be completed on-line at www.fafsa.gov, or a paper application may be obtained from the Department of Education by calling 1-800-4FED-AID or you can check with your high school guidance office. Be sure to list Carroll University's school code of 003838. Once the FAFSA form is processed an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) will be formulated. It will then be determined if you qualify for any type of federal, state, work or loan assistance.
You may now complete the FAFSA with financial information from two years prior beginning as early as October 1, 2016 for the 2017-18 school year. This is three months earlier than previous years. Learn more about Changes Impacting the 2017-18 FAFSA.
Do I have to complete the FAFSA?
In order to be eligible for any federal or state aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you do not wish to fill out the FAFSA, you may still receive a financial aid award from Carroll. This award will show any merit scholarships you have received. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you are not filling out the FAFSA and want to be considered a "merit only" student.
How do I request a tax transcript from the IRS?
You can request a tax transcript online, by phone, or via mail. More information can be found at the IRS website.
What is an EFC and how is it used to determine my eligibility?
When you file the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA), the information you report is used in a formula established by the U.S. Congress. The formula determines your Expected Family Contribution, an amount you and your family are expected to contribute toward your education (although this amount may not exactly match the amount you and your family ends up contributing). This EFC is used in determining need based financial assistance by doing the following: Cost of attendance - EFC = Financial need. Click here for more information on the EFC calculation.
Do I need to file my taxes before I apply for financial aid?
No, it is not a requirement that you file your taxes before filing the FAFSA, but we highly recommend it so you can utilize the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. You may complete the FAFSA by using estimated income information. However, if using estimated information, once your taxes are filed, you will have to submit corrections or submit an IRS tax transcript of you and/or your parent's tax returns to the Financial Aid Office.
My parents make too much money. Is it worth my time to file a FAFSA?
It is impossible to determine from just income level what financial aid you may qualify for. Many other factors play a role in determining the types of aid you are eligible for, such as size of household and number in college. The FAFSA is free and only takes a small amount of time to complete. Also keep in mind that every student qualifies for some form of loan assistance if they file the FAFSA.
My parents will not help me pay for school. Can I file as "independent"?
Unfortunately, the answer is "No." According to federal regulations governing Student Financial Aid Programs a student cannot be considered independent unless they:
My parents are divorced. Which parent should list their income information on the FAFSA?
If your parents have divorced or separated, answer the questions about the parent you lived with more during the past 12 months. If you did not live with one parent more than the other, give answers about the parent who provided more financial support during the last 12 months, or during the most recent year that you actually received support from a parent. If this parent is remarried as of today, answer the questions on the rest of the form about that parent and the person whom your parent married (your stepparent).
My parent has remarried. Do we have to include stepparent information on the FAFSA?
Yes, if your parent has remarried, you are required to report stepparent income and asset information on the FAFSA. The form was developed to determine your family's ability to contribute to your education and needs to be an accurate reflection of current family situations, regardless of the amount of financial support being received from the stepparent.
What is "verification" and why was I selected?
The Federal Processor randomly selects FAFSA applications for the process of verification. You will need to complete a verification worksheet provided to you by the Carroll University Financial Aid Office and supply signed tax transcripts of both the student and parent federal tax returns. It is possible you may be asked to complete other forms as well. The verification worksheet, tax transcripts and other forms are then compared with the information reported on the FAFSA to double check for accuracy.
Please Note: If a student has been selected for verification it is important that the family respond to the verification request as soon as possible to prevent delays in financial aid processing.
I have received an outside scholarship. Will this effect my financial aid?
In most cases this will have no effect on your financial aid situation, however, occasionally it may have a direct effect on the type and amount of loan you will qualify for. Financial aid from all sources cannot exceed the cost of attendance established by Carroll. If you receive an outside scholarship you should contact the Financial Aid Office.
I will be attending as a part-time student. Do I qualify for financial aid?
Maintaining an enrollment status of 6 credits (half-time status) or more per semester does entitle you to qualify for financial aid. You must complete the FAFSA to be eligible.
Can I get a job on-campus?
If you have been awarded Federal Work Study or Campus Job and have completed your job application, the Carroll University Financial Aid Office will notify you at the end of the summer where you will be placed for the school year. To be awarded Work Study or Campus Job, the criteria that generally have to be met are that you: are a full-time, undergraduate student; complete the FAFSA form; demonstrate financial need according to the FAFSA; and live on campus.
Do I have to file a FAFSA every year?
Yes. A student does have to file the FAFSA each year they will be in school to be eligible for need-based aid. A student can either complete their renewal application online, or complete a new FAFSA, either online or the paper version. Renewal applications can be completed online at www.fafsa.gov with the use of your Federal FSA ID. If you have lost or forgot your FSA ID, you will find links on the log-in page that give you the option of retrieving your username and password.
What is a FSA ID?
A FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on ED websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) at www.fafsa.gov.
If you are a parent of a dependent student, you will need your own FSA ID if you want to sign your child's FAFSA electronically. If you have more than one child attending college, you can use the same FSA ID to sign all applications. Please note: Each FSA ID user must have a unique email address.
Your FSA ID is used to sign legally binding documents electronically. It has the same legal status as a written signature. Don't give your FSA ID to anyone - not even to someone helping you fill out the FAFSA. Sharing your FSA ID could put you at risk of identity theft!
Does Carroll University participate in the SAGE Tuition Rewards Program?
Yes! Please click form more information about SAGE Tuition Rewards.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/12/2013 (1330 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The youth of today become the adults of tomorrow. We need to invest in the future and create strong young minds that can think outside the box to learn, develop and to help out our communities.
At my daughter's school, Island Lakes Community School, children can make a difference by participating in the ILCS student advisory council. It is a wonderful experience that keeps them in touch with needs of their fellow classmates, their school and their community.
I contacted Darcy Cormack, principal at ILCS to find out what the students have planned for the 2013-2014 school year.
Cormack, who helps guide ILCS student advisory council in addressing problems and finding solutions, said their goals are to have their ideas and interests expressed throughout their school.
The ILCS student advisory council was started in 2011 and is open to all students in Grades 6-8. This year, the council has 100 participating students to its roster.
With so many eager students wanting to contribute, I asked Cormack how often the group meets.
"The student advisory council is organized into three groups — CAT (community action team), FUN (enhancing student activities and equipment in the school) and school-wide assemblies. Each group meets once every few weeks or as needed, depending on what they are working on at the time," Cormack said.
Cormack said the kids brought up a varied group of topics to tackle this year.
"Students are interested in contributing to our local community, they are interested in expanding the extra-curricular clubs that we offer, purchasing ping pong and foosball tables for middle years students to use during indoor recess and spreading anti-bullying messages through creating a culture of kindness," Cormack explained.
The CAT group is currently leading the Pennies from Louis Riel School Division campaign, which involved a school-wide assembly group. The FUN group held a special pancake lunch on Dec. 2 to raise funds for the indoor recess equipment and, as a result of their activities this fall, they will be able to purchase these items prior to winter break. There will also be a school-wide assembly with the theme of generosity and service
Finally, I asked Cormack what she felt the student advisory council teaches our kids.
"Last year, I received some great feedback from one of our graduating student advisory members, who said that having the opportunity to show her my leadership skills to lead the student advisory council made her a stronger and more confident person, and that those skills would then help her with her future career in knowing that she believed she could do almost anything that she tried," Cormack said.

Senegal 30x30
One nation, many faces
por Vittorio Sciosia
Sobre o livro
This book follows up a 10 days workshop I ran in Senegal with a small group of fellows photographers wanting to discover the tips and tricks behind a professional work.
It was all organized by an italian tour operator, Azonzo Travel who put any effort in managing such a particular task.
I've never been to Senegal before this time, in spite of my many assignments all over the world. So I was curious to taste a bite of this black Africa country.
I have been mainly struck by the people, particularly kids and above all their eyes. I hope you like the pictures you are about to see next.

With 'Hills' coming to an end, Stephanie allegedly is looking for a new platform to extend her television career.
Stephanie Pratt apparently is not ready to end her reality TV career. It is reported that the younger sister of Spencer Pratt is moving to "The City" because her current starring vehicle "The Hills" is going to wrap up for good on Tuesday, July 13. If it is indeed true, then Stephanie would be reunited with the show's stars Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo.
"Now that 'The Hills' is over, Stephanie has been talking about moving to New York for 'The City'," a source told NY Post. "There would be a lot of drama there because her ex-best friend, Roxy Olin, is a regular on the show - and there's bad blood because Roxy just dropped Stephanie for Whitney Port."
The producers and Stephanie allegedly are in negotiation terms right now and no decision has been made. MTV has not responded to the report, but a source told Gossip Cop that there is actually no discussion yet.

June 13 is National Garden Day with gardening activities and festivities across the country. There is good reason for local gardeners to celebrate this year. Winnipeg will play host for the first time to the Canadian Peony Society's Annual Show and Sale June 14 and 15 at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory.
Envisioning your grandmother's peonies and their supporting peony rings? Think again. The best and newest peonies, herbaceous, tree and a relatively new class of peony, the intersectional peony (or Itoh as it is called), will be on display in all their glory.
The most familiar type of peony, herbaceous, is valued not only for its hardiness and longevity but also the exquisite beauty of its large, full blooms.
The genus Paeonia, however, is not restricted to only the herbaceous or lactiflora types. Tree peonies have been cultivated for centuries by the Chinese. Their woody stems in a shrub form are more like deciduous shrubs and can grow to a height and width of one metre.
Intersectional peonies are a more recent development. Named after Japanese nurseryman Toichi Itoh who created this new class by successfully crossing herbaceous garden types with woody tree types in 1948, Itoh peonies produce very large blooms in gorgeous colours.
My Sarah Bernhardt peonies, an older herbaceous variety, are beautiful, but a single rain or strong gust of wind can quickly scatter their heavy, fragrant blooms onto the ground. The large blooms on the strong stems of tree peonies and intersectional peonies, however, remain upright even after a heavy rain and require no staking whatsoever.
Naomi Wiebe and Sandy Venton, both peony enthusiasts, have gone far beyond a single, requisite purchase of these more rare and exclusive types of peonies.
Wiebe started with Magical Mystery Tour, purchasing it as a bare root plant. An Itoh hybrid peony, it has large semi- to double-blooms that open creamy yellow with a flush of lilac pink and then age to ivory white with pink edging. Colour change is characteristic of the Itoh peony as the blooms mature, resulting in multicoloured blooms on a single plant.
Wondering about hardiness, pests or ease of growing?
"The Itoh peony is friendlier to grow than roses and far and away superior to the herbaceous peonies," said Wiebe.
"The foliage looks so great all summer long even when they aren't in bloom. What really impresses me is that they are so strong. They never, ever need support."
Wiebe adds that the bloom period of the Itoh peony lasts about three weeks. She has added several new Itoh varieties to her Winnipeg garden since her first purchase, including Kopper Kettle, Singing in the Rain, Cora Louise, Yankee Doodle Dandy and Morning Lilac, and she states unequivocally they don't seem to have any pest problems.
Wiebe leaves the stems standing for the winter, cutting them down in the springtime. She recommends gardeners choose a reputable supplier. If ordering from an online source, the method of shipping and packaging is important.
Sandy Venton, a member of the Canadian Peony Society, grows both Itoh peonies and tree peonies.
"The tree peony has a graft so you have to bury them and make sure the graft is below the soil surface, otherwise you might get the graft sending out shoots, which can overtake the peony," said Venton.
Less expensive than Itoh peonies, tree peonies are also not as hardy. Worth growing for their masses of blooms in late spring, Venton gives them some extra attention in the fall in order to overwinter them successfully.
"The tree peony sends its buds out from the woody stalk as opposed to the herbaceous peony, which sends out its buds from the ground so you don't want those buds to freeze," said Venton.
Covering them with a wire basket or cage and filling it with leaves and peat moss works well.
Joe and Hazel Cook grow more than 600 varieties (4,500 plants) including species, tree, herbaceous and Itoh peonies in the fields surrounding their nursery near Peterborough, Ont. It must be a sight to behold. In preparation for the Canadian Society Peony Show at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory, they began collecting dozens of examples in the last week of May, and these will be displayed as cut flowers.
Peonies make some of the most gorgeous cut flowers and amazingly, once in bud, can be cut and then kept in cold storage for several weeks before a special occasion. The secret is to cut them when the blossom is still in the marshmallow stage (still closed but soft to the touch). Once the stems are placed in cold water, the buds will bloom within a matter of hours.
Hazel Cook says the single blooms open faster than the doubles.
Cutting the buds before they are open also eliminates the problem of bringing uninvited guests indoors such as ants, because they can simply be brushed off the bloom when it is still in the bud stage.
What about the level of difficulty in planting and growing peonies, especially some of the more exclusive varieties such as tree peonies and Itoh peonies? Growing tips vary depending on the type of peony, but planting them at the proper depth is particularly important or they may not flower. Follow the information for correct planting depth on the tag that is provided. The crown buds of herbaceous peonies, for example, should be planted no more than two inches below the soil surface.
David Maltby, vice-president of the Canadian Peony Society will provide a planting demonstration at the show, which will include information on how to divide the various types of peonies, and Hazel and Joe Cook will also be presenting. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Check out complete show details by visiting www.peony.ca
Jordan Hiebert of the Lacoste Nursery says they will be providing 80 Itoh peonies for sale (about a dozen varieties) at the show including Magical Mystery Tour, Bartzella, First Arrival and Sequestered Sunshine. There will also be some unique choices in a five-gallon size.
I've already made up my mind to line up for Scrumdidleyumptious but this new hybrid variety created and introduced by Donald Smith, a renowned American Itoh breeder, is on the list of many other peony enthusiasts. Envision a massive number of creamy, light-coloured silken petals on large double blooms with a hint of pink shading.
Expect prices for the Itoh peonies to be in the range of $45 and upwards. Expect also that these rare and exclusive but hardy beauties will be available only in limited quantities.
For now, prepare to enjoy the peak season for the early-blooming fern leaf peony (Paeonia tenuifolia). Ed Krueger, Driedger Nurseries, Brandon, specializes in growing fern leaf peonies. Up until seven years ago, the Driedger family owned Patmore Nursery in Brandon until Krueger sold the retail portion and launched Driedger Nurseries, a wholesale nursery.
Krueger credits his father-in-law, Jake Driedger, with helping to grow the popularity of the fern leaf peony.
"At the time he took over Patmore Nursery in the 1970s, there were only a few being sold," recalls Krueger. Part of this had to do with the difficulty in propagating the fern leaf peony. By assisting home gardeners in dividing their mature specimens, Driedger was able to gradually increase his stock. Today there are only a limited number of sources for the fern leaf peony, however, demand continues to be strong.
What is the secret to successfully growing the fern leaf peony? Krueger stresses the importance of well-drained soil. "Fern leaf peonies don't like their feet to stay wet," cautioned Krueger. A full sun location and adequate moisture levels will benefit the fern leaf peony, which can be very long-lived. Mature specimens that have been growing in one area for some time, possibly competing with grass and trees, will benefit from the addition of bone meal.
A prolific bloomer, a mature fern leaf peony can produce up to 60 or more blooms. Krueger recommends a mild fertilizer with a 1-1-1 ratio in early spring prior to the bloom period.

The Wood Bison Roundup
"Ready?" whispers Mike Taras, head of the gate crew.
Wood bison cow #36 moves forward through the series of chutes. Like clockwork, heavy steel gates are slid open and closed by team members to allow her to pass to the scale.
Dr. Robert Gerlach, state veterinarian, nods his head, and the final gate is opened to let cow #36 leave the scale and enter the hydraulic squeeze chute where she is held safely. There a team of veterinarians, technicians and wildlife biologists gives her an anti-parasite injection and checks a skin test that was administered two days prior.
Wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) are destined to be released as part of Alaska's wood bison restoration project. Although the subspecies is native to the state, they disappeared during the last few hundred years. Alaska has been working with the Canada's Wood Bison Recovery Team and many others over the past 15 years to design the restoration program. ADF&G has identified three potential areas for release: Yukon Flats, Minto Flats, and the lower Yukon/Innoko River area. Final decisions about location and time frame for the first release are being reviewed and will be announced within the next year.
AWCC hosted a team of about 30 workers at the center Jan. 31 through Feb. 5, including representatives of ADF&G, the State Veterinarian's office, the USDA, and AWCC. The crew successfully ran the 82 wood bison through the handling system to complete some of the final health screening required during their two year quarantine.
"To finish the tests, each animal had to be handled twice within three days," said wildlife planner Randy Rogers. "That takes a lot of team work to keep people and the bison safe, and to keep stress levels as low as possible for the animals."
The wood bison at AWCC are descended from 13 obtained in 2003, and 53 animals which arrived from Elk Island National Park, Canada in 2008. Administering an extensive health testing regime was included in the protocol for importing wood bison from Canada and for releasing in Alaska. The health testing, led by Division of Wildlife Conservation Veterinarian Dr. Kimberlee Beckmen, was to alleviate concerns about the possibility of diseases being transmitted from the wood bison herd to other wildlife populations or to domestic livestock.
"We have not found any signs of bovine tuberculosis or brucellosis which are the two main diseases of concern in the wood bison," Rogers said. "Pregnancy test results indicate that 10 or more calves are likely to be born this spring," he added.
So that veterinarians could administer tests and read results, AWCC Director Mike Miller, who cares for the wood bison on a daily basis, put 30 to 40 animals into a large corral each day. In perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the handling, Miller and Biologist Todd Nichols entered the corral on foot and split smaller groups off the herd and drove them into a series of compartments leading to the single file chutes. Other staff watched individual animals to keep Miller and Nichols safe. Other staff stayed mostly hidden behind the fence, keeping conversations short and quiet so as not to excite the bison any more than necessary.
"Even though the bison are fenced and fed by humans, these are wild animals," Miller explained. "Being close to humans is very stressful, which can lead to refusal to enter the chutes, or injury to either animals or staff."
Concern for the well-being of animals and staff also led to tranquilizing seven of the largest bison rather than running them through the chutes.
"The larger bulls and one large cow were too aggressive to risk trying to move them. Some of these bison were well over 2,000 lbs. It was safer both for them and our crew to dart them, give the tests, and then reverse the tranquilizer," Rogers explained. Blood tests on all of the tranquilized animals showed very low stress levels.
The wood bison restoration project has been pursued for 15 years by ADF&G, when former-Yukon Flats Area Biologist Bob Stephenson first presented the idea. Stephenson contacted Canadian authorities involved in wood bison conservation and learned the history of efforts to perpetuate the species in North America. He led studies to discover extensive bison habitat in several parts of the state. Stephenson arranged for skulls and bones unearthed in different parts of Alaska to be carbon dated and found that there were dates ranging through the last few thousand years, with the most recent estimated to have lived about 170 years ago. From Native elders on Yukon Flats and elsewhere, he also collected oral histories which detailed how the animals were hunted for food and hides by Athabascan people.
The bison restoration program has been supported by Native organizations, conservation groups, environmental organizations, and businesses throughout the state and nation. Financial support and in-kind donations to transport, contain, feed and care for the bison have been received from the Ted Turner Foundation, Safari Club International (SCI), the Alaska and Kenai Chapters of SCI, Carlisle Transportation Systems, AWCC, and many others. Private funds and contributions have been matched with federal dollars through the State Wildlife Grant program.
In Canada, First Nation residents of villages near wood bison herds as well as other Canadians benefit from having a local source of food. Some benefit financially by guiding hunters from urban areas. "We need to ensure that local hunters, non-local hunters and wildlife viewers all have opportunities to benefit from wood bison restoration in Alaska," Rogers said.
Canadian biologists have helped restore wood bison in several parts of that country and have trans-located wood bison to Siberia. They developed a "soft release" technique that will be used in Alaska.
The animals will be transported to the eventual release site in early spring while snow is still on the ground. There they will be held and fed hay within a fenced enclosure for six to eight weeks, allowing them to acclimate to the area. As the snow melts and natural forage vegetation becomes abundant, biologists will leave the gate open, allowing the animals to wander out and disperse on their own. After the herd has dispersed, the fence will be removed.
"We have a bunch of work to complete before the bison can be released. We are working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop special regulations under the Endangered Species Act to designate wood bison in Alaska as a 'Nonessential Experimental Population.' We'll also need to work with local residents and others to develop cooperative management plans," Rogers said. "ADF&G staff hopes some of these bison can be roaming free within the next two years."
Authors Cathie Harms, Randy Rogers, Bob Stephenson and Rita St. Louis are ADF&G biologists and staff with interest or expertise in bison. All participated in the "bison roundup" in early February

Workon.sh is great I could not get it to run. but finally I figured out what
to be done.
1st I was on building from scratch but that show me how poor I am in many
So after working on workon.sh
I mounted the image generic-pc-1.3b18.img and went to /etc/inc/services.inc
Line 195
And added this line,
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
saved and exit the workon.sh
and via firmware I was able to upload the image with only warning of missing
digital signature.
After reboot I was assigned 255.255.255.255 subnet .
The solution was simple although I was thinking that I need php to wire
punch of php lines to activate the option in the xml file.
But I simply added the line with the default values. I guess.
This makes it permanent. Right! But I guess it fits me. :)
Thanks for the big effort developing m0n0wall system , Documentation and
providing editing tools.Free!

Mount Sims reaches new musical heights
Where does one go after "Ultra Sex"? For Mount Sims, whose debut carried that provocative name, the next step is "Wild Light," Sims' second disc, and first for German-based International DeeJay Gigolo Records.
Sims, whose birth name is Matt, has come a long way from The Pacers, that Milwaukee ska band in which he got his start here. But, then, even his next band, Citizen King, was a big step forward. When CK fell apart, Sims set up shop in Los Angeles and took some time off to cool out.
But it wasn't long before he reemerged as Mount Sims, a sex-talking electronica dance artist whose thumping music was as much rooted in early '80s new wave synth-pop as in funk and modern dance music. Part Prince, part Human League, Mount Sims' music is definitely a synthesis of style and in that sense follows in Citizen King's cut 'n' slice tradition.
Although the music on "Wild Light" isn't a radical departure from the tunes on "Ultra Sex," the recording of it was different. While the first was recorded alone in a closet over the course of a year, the follow-up was a less isolated affair, says Sims.
"It was a different experience. I worked with more people to develop a visual atmosphere that was inspired by one of my favorite stories/poems: 'A Season In Hell,' (by Arthur) Rimbaud."
And there were guests this time, too.
"David J (of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets), Roger Manning Jr. (Beck, Air), Benjamin White (Go Go Go, Airheart) were really inspiring to work with," Sims says. "They each brought a lot to the table."
Sims has no trouble finding collaborators after the success of "Ultra Sex," which outperformed all expectations, even Sims' own.
"I was really surprised it did what it did," he admits. "That record was more of a 'let's make fun of what's happening to music at the time' -- excluding a couple of sincere songs -- and a lot of people went with it."
The record really blew up big in Europe and found Sims on more than a few transatlantic flights to do promotion and performances.
"I ended up touring with LadyTron for a while, which was the best tour I've ever been on," he says.
Also going back and forth to Europe about five times during the year to do some festivals like The Love Parade, the Montreaux Jazz Festival, with Miss Kitten, Vitalic, Jeff Mills, DJ Hell, Zombie Nation, Cross Over -- lots of great music. "It's a rare opportunity that you actually get to tour with bands that you are big fans of."
And one thing leads to another. That success led to an extremely high-profile remix gig for Madonna.
"I remixed a song called "Nobody Knows Me," says Sims. "I did three remixes, and she accepted two of them saying that the third was too dark."
That has led to more mixing work, which, Sims says, comes with its own brand of satisfaction.
"It's actually helped me a lot with getting more work as a producer and remixer. It's really two different things, making my own music and helping someone else to realize their's. I'm into both; they're both magical. But it's a lot more difficult to deal with editing myself and my own ideas."
And ideas are not lacking up at the peak of Mount Sims. The singer, bassist, keyboardist, remixer and producer is now working on writing a play.
In the meantime, the perennial question returns. When will Sims get back to Milwaukee to perform?
"Good question," he says. "I hope soon."

Back in March at GTC 2015, NVIDIA announced the first member and flagship of their Maxwell 2 generation of Quadro cards, the Quadro M6000. Packing a fully-enabled GM200 GPU and 12GB of RAM, M6000 signaled an interesting shift from NVIDIA on the high-end of Quadro, with the company shipping what amounted to a "pure" graphics card as opposed to a jack-of-all-trades type card as they typically do at the high-end. Meanwhile, although the M6000 was the first Maxwell 2 based Quadro card to launch, it was not the first Maxwell 2 GPU to launch. NVIDIA has launched GM204 and GM206 late last year and early this year respectively, and of course Maxwell 1 ended up in the Quadro K2200 and a couple of other cards...
