BPS E-News: Code update means easier process for home fixes in historic/conservation Districts
Homeowners in Portland's historic and conservation districts will have an easier time making minor modifications to their homes when a proposed set of code amendments is adopted. In response to community concerns about the time and expense involved in historic design review, the Bureaus of Planning and Sustainability and Development Services developed this proposal in collaboration with homeowners, remodelers and historic resource advocates.
The goal of the Historic Resources Code Improvement Project is to streamline the regulatory process around historic design review. The project team has been looking at ways to create a quicker, easier-to-understand and more predictable review process for projects with minor impacts on historic resources, as well as clarifying code definitions and other code clean-up measures.
On Jan. 22, 2013, the Planning and Sustainability Commission held a public hearing to consider the Proposed Historic Resources Code Improvement Project Zoning Code Amendments, and voted to forward a package of recommended Zoning Code Amendments to City Council.
What happens next?
Council is expected to hold a hearing on the code amendments on Feb. 27, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. The recommended report will be available the first week of February. The adopted code amendments will be effective 37 days after the City Council vote.
After adoption, the project team will continue its work to improve the regulatory process and provide benefits to homeowners in the historic and conservation districts. The code amendments may also allow the Bureau of Development Services to reduce historic review fees for smaller projects in the near future.
For more information about the project and how to get involved, please visit the project website at www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/58976 or call 503-823-5869.

In this world of sharing data, increasing numbers of sites and applications are making information available over web services. Whether we are building a service as a feature of our own development, or pulling in the information published by others, we will need to understand the different service types and how to work with them in PHP. This article aims to give you the tools to do just that.
She starts with the basics every web service developer should know - the HTTP spec - and moves from there into things like RPC services, data formats, SOAP messaging, a few debugging tips and finally one of the more talked about technologies these days - REST.

Roe v Wade set the limit for viability at 26 weeks into pregnancy.
That was based on 1973 medicine and judicial imaginings. Today, babies are being saved as early as 21 or 22 weeks into pregnancy. But we still live under the law created by the Supreme Court which set viability at 26 weeks.
After 26 weeks, doctors can still do abortions if they decide the mother's life or health is at stake. In actual practice, that means that abortionists kill babies right up to the day of birth.
Dr Kermit Gosnell ran an abortion clinic that prosecutors described as "a chamber of horrors." Dr Gosnell is now in prison. But he was not sent to prison for running a chamber of horrors. He is in prison because a few of the babies he killed lived through the abortion and he killed them afterwards.
The takeaway of the Gosnell verdict for the abortion industry is not to stop killing late-term babies. Based on all the pushback in Texas, it's also not to provide standard medical care during abortions. Rather, it is to make absolutely, no-doubt-about-it-sure that the baby is dead before it is delivered.
Killing a baby while it's inside its mother's body is not a crime. Killing the same baby when it's separate from its mother is murder.
In today's tragic world, the right to life is defined by geography.
This Live Action video is of a doctor and counselor discussing an abortion on a woman who is 27 weeks pregnant.
Think about it: Twenty-seven weeks. That is a viable child, even by 1973 standards.
To top if off, they are telling the young women that she will go through labor alone in a hotel room. They even give her instructions about what to do if she delivers the baby while she's on a toliet.
They blithely assure her that going through labor and delivering alone in a hotel room is safer than giving birth in a hospital under ideal medical conditions.
How does this benefit the woman? In what way is it medically necessary? If there was a medical reason to stop the pregnancy at 27 weeks to save the mother's life, it would be far safer and better for her to deliver her baby in a hospital with pain-killing medication and to also provide medical care to save the life of her baby.
Should abortion clinics be exempt from the health care requirements of other surgical centers? That is the argument pro abortion people make, and they make it in the name of "women's health."
That is not feminism. It is not in the interest of women's health. This child could and almost certainly would live if it was delivered properly, so it certainly is not in the interest of the baby.
Who and what do late-term abortions serve except the demons of death?

A Zynga executive introduces The Ville, a game Electronic Arts says is a direct copy of The Sims Social.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Zynga made a name for itself by developing games for Facebook, but a lawsuit from Electronic Arts accuses the FarmVille maker of acting less than friendly.
Zynga's new game The Ville is a "blatant mimicry" of EA's The Sims Social game, EA's suit alleges.
EA (EA) filed the copyright infringement suit Friday on behalf of its Maxis Label, which created The Sims Social.
"The similarities go well beyond any superficial resemblance," Maxis general manager Lucy Bradshaw wrote in an EA blog post. "Zynga's design choices, animations, visual arrangements and character motions and actions have been directly lifted from The Sims Social."
Zynga (ZNGA) general counsel Reggie Davis hit back, saying in an e-mailed statement that EA "clearly demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic copyright principles."
Davis also accused EA's SimCity Social game of bearing "an uncanny resemblance" to Zynga's CityVille game.
EA launched The Sims Social on Facebook (FB) in August 2011 as an extension of its popular Sims PC game franchise. Zynga's The Ville came out in June 2012.
Several bloggers noted the similarities between the games, a fact Maxis' Bradshaw pointed out in her post. Gaming blog Kotaku headlined its report about The Ville's launch: "Zynga's New Take On The Sims Launches Tomorrow on Facebook."
It's hardly the first time Zynga has been accused of copying successful games from other developers.
In January, NimbleBit lashed out at Zynga about its Dream Heights game, accusing Zynga of more than mere resemblances to its popular iPhone game Tiny Tower.
NimbleBit published a scathing infographic wishing Zynga a sarcastic "good luck with your game, we are looking forward to inspiring you with our future games!"
That's just one of the scores of accusations.
Still, Zynga has bounced back from bad publicity before.
In its early days, Zynga resorted to spammy and scammy tactics to gain new -Ville gamers and monetize existing ones. Facebook users became so frustrated with Zynga notifications that Facebook expressly prohibited the practice in 2010.
The company changed and its way and continued amassing a huge gaming audience.

Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Aspect Software's Dominance in the North American Outbound Dialer Systems Market
07 Feb, 2013, 12:45 GMT
- Aspect's nimble strategizing and product innovation help it outstrip competitors in a challenging market
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the outbound dialer systems market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Aspect Software, Inc. (Aspect) with the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Market Share Leadership. A trail blazer in terms of proactive customer engagement, Aspect saw gains in a declining outbound dialer market. The company not only seized the top market position in 2010 from Avaya but increased its market share for the second year in a row, growing from 21.7 percent to 22.7 percent.
"Aspect continues to make admirable headway in a tough market, edging out established premise-based rivals as well as vendors providing hosted offerings," noted Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Nancy Jamison. "In addition to bolstering its presence in the more traditional outbound debt collection vertical, the company developed targeted solution packages to make it easier to deploy the more complex and multifaceted outbound applications in new verticals."
Aspect's strength lies in blending integrated inbound and outbound solutions with other functions, as well as with unified communications (UC). Since its outbound dialer is fully integrated within its unified IP contact center platform, Aspect's solution has the ability to coordinate multimedia, proactive, and reactive blended campaigns that encompass dialing functions and broader enterprise applications. This flexibility allows Aspect to leverage the wealth of its experience in more traditional outbound vertical markets, such as Accounts Receivable Market (ARM), and apply those design principals to packaged solutions in less traditional outbound verticals including travel, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and retail. As a result, Aspect has a distinct advantage in an economy where companies are holding back on capital equipment purchases.
"One of the key factors in the outbound dialer market's decline is smaller and delayed budgets, as companies focus on how to do more with less. Even one area benefitting from this dynamic – collections – faces increased government oversight and regulation," explained Jamison. "Customers are, therefore, looking to vendors for flexible solutions that align with new rules based on government regulations on how and when consumers should be contacted. Aspect's targeted solutions for collections, such as Unified Outreach and Streamlined Collections, make it an attractive option. Designed to automate early-stage collections, these applications provide more effective delinquent account targeting."
Thus, bringing a broader set of enterprise solutions to bear has been the crucial factor in Aspect's growth. Although the Aspect dialer can be sold as a standalone capability, the company has leverage UC and collaboration components – such as the use of Microsoft's Lync platform – to strongly enhance the functions of its dialing applications.
For instance, UC tools such as IM and presence enable agents to get answers for customers more quickly, once they become part of the call. Similarly, collaboration applications enable agents and supervisors to work more effectively at helping customers, and presence technology enables the agents to tap into "expert agents", who are subject matter experts not part of the contact center. This integration of functionality has enabled Aspect to position its contact center solutions as integral to a broader enterprise solution strategy.
In recognition of these factors that have made it the market share leader, Aspect is the worthy recipient of the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Market Share Leadership in the outbound dialer systems market. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in capturing the highest market share within its industry. The award recognizes the company's leadership position within the industry in terms of revenues.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

Struggling to bury their dead
Owen Millar
- March 06, 2017
Main News
] [
Send by email:
Occupied East Jerusalem
- Muslim residents of Silwan and Jerusalem's Old City are facing an ongoing battle to bury their dead in land which has served as the final resting place of their forbears
for some 1400 years.
Bab Al-Rahma cemetery, an enclosed strip of soil and graves lying in the shadows of the southeastern wall of the Old City, is both a valuable artifact of Islamic history and also the modern burial ground used by tens of thousands of Muslims living in its vicinity. Islamic tradition allows graves to be reused every seven years. Until recently, the cemetery represented an unbroken connection between the residents of Silwan and their future descendants.
In recent years, locals have been facing more and more difficulties in burying their loved ones. In 1974, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA)
classified the land upon which the cemetery finds itself as a national park. The Jerusalem Walls National Park for
ms a ring around the Old City and includes the whole of Bab Al-Rahma and parts of Silwan
. The
cemetery's inclusion within the park's borders enabled the INPA to fence it in and restrict access and burial in the name of protecting ancient remains.
In 2006, an
Israeli public interest group
– The Public Committee Against the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount –
brought a suit
against the State of Israel in the Supreme Court, arguing that it had failed to prevent Silwan residents from expanding the cemetery southward into a small area of land that lies adjacent to the section of the city's walls nearest to the Haram al-Sharif (known to Jews as the Temple Mount). The Committee claimed that any expansion of Bab Al-Rahma should be prohibited on the grounds that such expansions would prevent "any possibility of future archaeological excavations to uncover ancient ruins on the site."
Yonathan Mizrachi, an archaeologist as well as founder and executive director of the Emek Shaveh organisation, believes these archaeologically-based objections belong to a broader strategy.
"I think they had an opportunity and they just could convince the court that this area is too close to the antiquities," Mizrachi told Palestine Monitor. "I think it's been used as an excuse… I think there is a plan to prevent as much as they can a Muslim presence here."
Responding to the Committee's suit in 2006, the State suggested that expansion of the cemetery was not a new phenomenon, that the land was not in fact public (it is owned by the Waqf), and that preventing burials posed a risk of public disorder. Eventually, however, the State
amended its position
and agreed to erect a new fence delineating the area that local residents could use for burials, while also committing the support of police to assist the INPA in preventing burials.
According to Jawad Siam, a resident of Silwan and director of the Wadi Hilweh Information Centre there, the policies and practices of the State are further compounded by the actions of radical Jewish groups vandalising the cemetery. These actions include the destruction of graves, the trashing of the cemetery, and the marking of religiously inciting graffiti on graves. Siam commented on the willful blindness of police and IDF personnel to these aggravations, suggesting a telling paradox in the situation: "When we go to bury, they see us. But when someone comes to destroy graves, they don't see it."
Siam told Palestine Monitor of further aggravations carried out by Israel and its agencies, including the State-authorised destruction of some graves and the planting of fake Jewish graves by the State (a claim which received acknowledgement in a
draft decision
of UNESCO's Programme and External Relations Commission in 2015).
Mizrachi suggests that Israel's policies and practices with regard to the cemetery might reflect a desire to transform Bab Al-Rahma from a "living" cemetery into a "dead" one, thus weakening Palestinians' ongoing connection to Jerusalem.
This desire is mirrored in other observable actions, including the demolition of Palestinian homes in east Jerusalem and the revocation of residency permits from Palestinian "permanent residents" of the city (as many as
such revocations occurred from 1967 to 2015).
"Slowly, slowly it [becomes] a historical monument, and not an active place," said Mizrachi. Meanwhile, residents of Silwan have nowhere else to bury their dead.

Indictment: 2 new arrests in Wilson Ponzi scheme
There are new developments in a massive silver Ponzi scheme that defrauded hundreds of investors, many who live in the Upstate.
News 4 has learned that two new arrests have been made in connection with the scheme.
The mastermind behind the scheme, Ron Wilson, was the president of Atlantic Bullion and Coin, and took money from investors who thought they were buying silver.
In November U.S. Secret Service agent Jason Durgin said in court that 798 victims suffered an actual loss of $57,401,009.
Wilson was sentenced to almost 20 years in prison for his role after pleading guilty to mail fraud.
A recently unsealed indictment shows Wilson's co-conspirator Lindsey Howell concealed money from the victims in the scheme by "hiding and transferring" assets to the Gordon and Benton Hall.
Sources tell News 4 the Halls live in Arizona and are being brought to the Upstate from Arizona to face federal changes in this case.
The indictment says Howell transferred at least $1.5 million to the Halls along with the title to two properties in Fountain Inn, a truck, gold coins, a bag of silver and more.
In exchange for transfer, the Halls agreed to pay Howell a stipend for the remainder or Howell's natural life and to assist Howell in legal proceedings related to the Silver Ponzi Scheme and/or the recovery of assets purchased with Ponzi scheme money.
The indictment says the Halls will face charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, and attempt and conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
The indictment says the Halls started conspiring in April 2012, which is the same time Ron Wilson was first arrested.

You want to know what is the best place to live. With the Life Quality Index, or LQI, we make it a lot easier to decide which place is better to live.
The LQI is calculated by combining all our data on transportation, safety, health, affordability, entertainment, demographics, leisure and other essentials for everyday life. All our data comes from very reliable sources, like the MTA, NYPD, Google, Socrata, Foursquare and the U.S. Census to offer you the best information to find the right place to live.
You want to be free to go wherever you want, when you want. So in our LQI we use all the available data on public transport, taxi services, parking places and the distance to the city center or the next borough when calculating the livability of a place.
Life is all about the small things, so if you have everything you need nearby, then that is a great plus! When we calculate the Daily Life for the LQI, we take everything into account. Ranging from the distance to the nearest convenience stores and places of worship to Wi-Fi Hotspots and financial services.
You want to feel safe in your new home, so in the LQI you will be able to find all our data on crime levels and the nearest police and fire stations for that particular place.
Health is important to us all. In the LQI we include everything related to your well-being: the proximity to health and medical facilities, but also pollution levels, the proximity you live to busy truck routes or factories, and even the number of noise complaints.
When you have time off, you want to relax and have fun. So the closer to sport facilities, beauty salons and spas, running tracks and interesting places, the better.
Let's face it, what would life be without restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and other entertainment venues? That's why we include it in our LQI.
We use data on demographics to calculate our Life Quality Index. We all want to feel welcome in our community and at home in our neighborhood. Things like average income, education levels, and poverty index are all taken into account to create the LQI.
Place I Live is a helpful platform for people to find accurate information about neighborhoods fast. The website has accumulated data about such areas as safety, health, leisure and more.

In the long pantheon of things dogs get irrationally excited about, mechanized penguins might be one of the best simply because a mechanized penguin behaves pretty much exactly like a real penguin, i.e. it shuffles around, keeping its useless wings plastered to its body. This video, therefore, either shows that dachshunds are especially sympathetic to the shortness of penguins' limbs, or serves as pretty compelling evidence that, if you have a dog, you can totally get away with getting a pet penguin too because the two animals will probably end up being best friends and going on Homeward Bound-style adventures together.

The Balloonist of the Emerald City – The Inflationist of the Greenback DC
Yellow Bricked Rhodes – IMF, World Bank, UN – SDR the Keynesian BanCor
Expansionary fiat monetary policy normally involves a lowering of short-term interest rates by the central bank.
However, when such interest rates are either at, or close to, zero, and money can't be given away because of the Hostile Economic Environment, standard fiat monetary policy can no longer function, and quantitative easing may be used by the monetary authorities in order to lower interest rates further out on the yield curve to lower than Zero in an attempt to force stimulate the economy.
With Quantitative Easing.
Quantitative Easing (QE) is an unconventional monetary policy used in fiat central bank systems to stimulate their planned and controlled economy. With no external buyers or purchasers available, (citizenry, business or foreign investors) the central bank creates money which the bank itself uses to buy government bonds and other financial assets backed by future public tax obligations (or Monetizing Debt), in order to increase the money supply and add additional reserves to the banking system; This Raises the prices of future products and financial assets purchased (which lowers the yield or quantity at purchase).
However Risks and Fraud in this system always include the policy being more effective than intended in specific economic areas and hyper inflation occurs (Weimar or Zimbabwe)
of not being effective enough in other areas, with the loss of sustainable value, banks opt simply to sit on the additional cash in order to increase their capital reserves for share holders and consolidate real commodity holdings by waiting for the increasing default and foreclosure trends in their present loan portfolio to subside.
Gold, silver, coal, oil any real commodity back currency in what is needed to have a true free market that is Just, Honest and Equitably of, for and by the people. It is required for the capital, the currency, the exchange to have, hold and represent real value in a legitimately open capitalist system.
When we start adding money to the bank in the Game of Monopoly, because the amount provided by parker brothers has run out, odds are the game will never end and the player will just go round and round a board filled, with no more room to build or change and with enough to pay every time. Not enough change or 'freedom' in the system and the game hits a draw, the merry-go-round broke down and further play becomes pointless.
If we do not stop playing this game nothing will every change and No one else will ever get a chance to enjoy playing.

Daydreaming Behind the Wheel
People often unaware their mind is wandering when driving, study shows
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Many people catch themselves daydreaming, but new research reveals it often happens when they're behind the wheel of a car.
Researchers analyzed the brain activity of volunteers during a driving simulation to determine how often their minds wandered. The investigators also looked for specific brain patterns that would indicate when this daydreaming occurred.
During the simulation, the participants were hooked up to a monitoring system that measured electrical activity in their brains.
The volunteers completed two 20-minute driving simulations each day for five consecutive days. The simulations weren't set up to be thrilling or technically challenging. Instead, they mimicked a typical steady commute to and from work along a boring stretch of highway. Between the two sessions, the drivers took a written test to duplicate the mental drain that would occur on a normal workday.
During the simulations, a buzzer went off at random intervals. Every time this happened, the participants were instructed to use a tablet computer to record if they had just been daydreaming. If their mind had been wandering right before the buzzer, the drivers were asked to reveal if they were aware of it or not.
"We found that during simulated driving, people's minds wander a lot -- some upwards of 70 percent of the time," said lead researcher Carryl Baldwin, of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.
The researchers noted the driver's minds were more likely to wander on the second simulation, or the "commute" home. On average, the volunteers were aware of their distraction only 65 percent of the time.
Daydreaming among the drivers was also betrayed by their brain's electrical activity, the study published recently in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found.
"We were able to detect periods of mind wandering through distinctive electrophysiological brain patterns, some of which indicated that the drivers were likely less receptive to external stimuli," Baldwin said in a journal news release.
Drivers must be fully alert and aware of other cars on the road while driving so they can respond quickly to sudden or unexpected events. Distraction among drivers is a major factor in car accidents and related deaths, the study authors warned.
Cellphones and other mobile devices are well-known sources of distraction, but the researchers said there's less focus on daydreaming among drivers.
"Mind wandering may be an essential part of human existence and unavoidable. It may be a way to restore the mind after a long day at the office. What we are not sure about yet is how dangerous it is during driving," Baldwin said. "We need additional research to figure this out.
"In terms of improving safety in the future, one option could be ... self-driving cars that allow people's minds to wander when it is safe to do so, but re-engage when they need to pay attention," she said.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides more information on distracted driving.

Recipe Sunday – Brandied Apple 'N Cream Cheese Pie
I made this yummy pie last week just before I rejoined Weight Watchers…so good! It comes from the WAGA Cookbook.
Brandied Apple 'N Cream Cheese Pie
Linda Kolbach, Grafton
2002 Finalist
Pie Crust:
1/2 cup soft butter
1-1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cream Cheese Layer:
8-ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 shot apple brandy (non-alcoholic, use lemon juice)
Apple Filling Layer:
6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 tsp cornstarch
2 shots apple brandy (non-alcoholic, use extra water)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Mix pie curst ingredients together with pastry fork, except for the walnuts. Pat all but ONE cup of this mixture in a Pyrex pie pan [I think a longer dish might work a little better…my pie overflowed quite a bit…] To the reserved pie crust mixture, add the walnuts and set aside. This will be used as the topping to the pie.
Place pie crust in oven and bake for 8 minutes. During this time, blend the above cream cheese filling ingredients with mixer until smooth consistency. When done, place in the partially baked pie crust and return to oven for 15 minutes more.
Next prepare the pie-filling layer. Combine the cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan and then add water. Cook over low heat until it starts to become thickened. Then add the flavorings, brandy and prepared apples. Cook over low heat till apples are glazed and soft, but not mushy. Pour this over the baked cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining pie crust mixture and return to oven for 10 minutes.
Note: This recipe is rich and filling, so do not cut large pieces when serving. Can be served warm or cold.

If you changed templates it might go back to the default size of font. All you have to do is change the font size back
Yesterday I switched the color of my background border from pink to blue. Just fooling around with colors and some how the words are very small now. Can't read their ads. I don't recall clicking on font sizes to change them. Is there a default?
If you changed templates it might go back to the default size of font. All you have to do is change the font size back
I only changed the colors. I didn't change any templates. Not sure what is a good number to change the fonts to. We'll seeOriginally Posted by DaveS
Did you by chance set the font sizes in "edit design manually" and then make the color changes in "edit design" ?
If so, that overwrites any changes you made in "edit design manually".
No, I picked advanced set up, Select layout. Then edit design. With edit design I only changed the color. I tried to do it again yesterday and selected the layout and the fonts went back to normal. Then I changed the color and later the fonts changed. It's too small right now.Originally Posted by DaveS
Hmm do you mind if I change the layout on your list and change it back and play with it to see if I can figure out what's happening?
I believe I found the issue. When the edit design page was loading, it wasn't loading the previous font settings so all of the font size drop down boxes were set at 8px.
You shouldn't have that problem any more.

A photo history of the ill-fated print newsweekly, the Knoxville Mercury
Jack Neely makes the pitch for a new weekly paper to a full crowd at the Knoxville History Center, about two months after the Metro Pulse was shut down in October 2014.
Editor Coury Turczyn attempts to explain a unique concept in newsweekly publishing: a paper owned by an educational nonprofit to be called the Knoxville History Project. The Knoxville Mercury would attempt to avoid corporate ownership in order to be truly local and to retain more editorial freedom.

Love at first sight: editor Coury Turczyn spots his dream desk at the Mid-Mod Collective. Probably should've waited until he had an income before buying it.

Whoosh! Where does the time go when you're constantly struggling to survive? By July 2017 we could no longer see light at the end of the tunnel and decided to call it quits, and held a "Sad Hour" farewell party at Boyd's Jig & Reel in the Old City. Hey, the grim reaper made an appearance!
Part-time reporter Thomas Fraser offers encouragement.

* The HOS Arboretum is CLOSED to the public until further notice.
2020 Community Orchard Program Membership Form (docx)
Welcome to the Home Orchard Society Arboretum! The Arboretum is a 1.6-acre demonstration orchard established and maintained by our organization, designed to showcase heirloom fruit varieties, organic orchard practices, cultural techniques, and much, much more.
Growing good fruit at home is not as hard as it seems, especially here in the Pacific Northwest. Our relatively mild winters (USDA zone 8) and long growing season allow us to grow many species of fruit bearing shrubs and trees. Expect the usual suspects here: apples, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, Asian pears, blueberries; but don't be surprised by all the other species! Quince, pineapple guava, figs, persimmons, pluots, medlar, olives, elderberry, pawpaws, currants, kiwis, and cane berries all rub shoulders here in Oregon. Check out the species list for the Arboretum (Excel Spreadsheet PDF) for more details.
Established in 1986 by members of the Home Orchard Society with the cooperation of Clackamas Community College, who owns the property, the Arboretum is mature orchard site, with an ever-changing palette of specimens. The site manager in charge of the orchard is constantly assessing individual plants for health, suitability to our climate, and quality of fruit. Chances are, you'll find something new with every visit.
Visitors to the Arboretum come for ideas on how to prune, laying out your home orchard, dealing with pests and disease, handling the harvest, and taste testing unusual varieties – especially apples, pears, and grapes! We even have awesome fall color on trees like Asian pears, pawpaws, and persimmons for those interested in trees that look good and have great fruit.
The Arboretum is a great opportunity for anyone with a little extra time to give volunteers are always welcome, whatever your skill level. Whether you are interested in learning how to graft, honing your pruning skills, or just need some pointers on planting your first tree, come on out! We also host student interns through the Clackamas Community College horticulture department, and are a great field trip for garden clubs and school groups of all ages.
People curious about new varieties or species are welcome to use the Arboretum as a source for propagation materials. We supply a great deal of the cuttings and scion wood each spring for the annual HOS Scion Exchange, and have traded scions with fruit enthusiasts as far away as Holland! Are you looking for something rare? Check our species list, and drop us a line.
The irony of the times we live in today is that the most popular fruit in Mexican supermarkets is the Red Delicious apple from Washington, and in American supermarkets it is the banana from Mexico. Growing good fruit at home helps us appreciate the long history and culture of our incredible temperate fruits. When the season comes on for your favorite fruits, it makes the waiting for them all the sweeter, knowing you've grown them yourself, like so many before you. Come join us at the Arboretum: celebrate fruit, celebrate sweetness, celebrate life.
The Arboretum is open to the public on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 9am-3pm. We welcome members, visitors, and volunteers year-round. One of the finest public gardens in Oregon, we're just twenty minutes south of Portland – come visit this incredible demonstration orchard!
Tonia Lordy, Arboretum Manager

Soccer Predictions For Today in Most Popular?
Betting on horse racing does not mean that you have to be present right there on the racetrack. Today, you can place your bet online and in the comfort of your home.
This is the power of technology. Nowadays, everything can be found online. All people need to have is a computer and an online connection and they will be able to see the race action live on their small screen.
Even if it is not as good as the live one or as big as the ones you will see on television, it is very convenient for those who are on the move and do not have the right facilities for it. Just think. You will never again miss the action. You will have a minute-by-minute account on the race that is going on. Besides that, you will know first-hand if the horse you are betting on will win or not.
How does betting horse racing online works?
There are some sites that just need you to register into them and put in your deposit. Once the result is out, your losses or winnings will be debited or credited into your account.
Not all websites are like this though. There are those that require its would-be members to pay an initial fee. Some even require monthly charges depending on the frequency of your visit and stay.
Even if the betting horse racing is done online, the rules and regulations are still the same. The types of bets and race conditions are also the same as the ones you will see and get live.
Since the process is done through computers, you can expect a short delay on the tally of your bets based on the overall betting system. For those who cannot wait for the update, they are given a choice of the statistics to be sent directly to their cell phones.
But with the advantages that people get from betting horse racing online comes its disadvantages. They may be minors but it is still worth the glance.
1. Unsatisfying experience.
Some people find that nothing can compare to the feeling that they get when they are on the racetrack and is part of the action. You cannot really get that same feeling when you are just there watching it on screen.
Most of those who bet on this sport are after the excitement of seeing the race from start to finish. They still want to shout and cheer with the rest of the crowd gathered there on the stadium.
2. Miniscule screen.
Being confined in the small screen of your computer, you will not get a view of what is happening in the whole event. You will just rely on where and what the camera is focusing on. This is a total turn off for those who want to see every corner and every move around the racetrack.
Those who are intent on having a better view of the horse race choose to have their own satellite TV in their home to get a bigger and better view of the live happening in the racetrack.
3. Computer system problems.
Slow computers and outdated hardware installed in your computers are one of the factors that will hinder your betting horse racing online experience. If you do not have the most advanced features, do not expect your viewing to be as great as it should be.
However, if you can do away with these minor problems and your only desire is to cut the suspense and see the result as it happens, then horse race betting online is always there at your convenience.
Football (Soccer) Betting Strategy - Discover Winning by Picking DrawsIntroduction
In article one, I introduced you to the Betting Exchange concept and explained the basics of LAY Betting (Lay to Lose). Now in this article, I'm going to introduce you to another unique and powerful feature of the betting exchanges, the Place Markets.
What Are Betting Exchange Place Markets?
Place markets are as the name suggests, markets which allow you to bet on a selection to be 'placed'. Eg. a horse to finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a 8 runner or larger field.
Now, the first and most important thing to highlight here is that these place markets are completely different to the well known Each Way (EW) betting markets offered by traditional bookmakers. The Each Way bet is in fact 2 bets of equal stakes.
The 1st stake is on the selection to win and the 2nd is on it to be placed. So a £10 EW bet will cost you £20 in total.
A £10 place bet on a Betting Exchange is a single bet and therefore will only cost you £10. If your selection finishes in a place, you collect your winnings and smile.
Think about it for a minute. How many times have you been certain that a horse will be placed, but you have not been confident that it will win...
Traditional Each Way Betting
Take the following example. A horse named 'Im gonna be placed' that is available to back with traditional bookmakers at 4/1 (5.0). Your very confident that it will finish in the top 3 in a 10 runner field.
With a traditional bookmaker, your options are:
1) Take a chance on it winning and place a win single on it. E.g. £10 at 4/1
2) Place an EW bet on it. E.g. £10 EW at 4/1 (5.0). Total stakes £20. The bookies will pay you 1/5 odds on the place element of this E/W bet based on their standard EW rules. On our horse which is available to back at 5.0 this equates to 1.8
Now, the only time the above race will be profitable for you is if the horse actually wins. In both cases you would make a very nice profit if it did. For option 1 you would win £40 profit and for option 2, £48 profit.
BUT, if as you suspected the horse only finishes placed in 2nd or 3rd, you actually lose money in both cases. With option 1 you obviously lose all your stake money so are down £10. With option 2, you win £8 on the Place side of the EW bet but still lose £2 overall as the win part of the bet was a losing one.
Enter The Betting Exchange Place Markets
Using the above example and depending upon the prices of the other horses in the race, you would probably see the Betting Exchanges offering odds of around 1.60 - 2.00 (evens) on this horse being placed. You can therefore put your £10 PLACE bet on at say 1.8 and collect £8 profit (minus commission) as long as the horse finishes 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Only if the horse finishes outside of the top 3 do you lose your £10 stake.
I'm sure this has got you thinking and you can probably see the power in this straight away!
When combined with a good staking plan and a sensible selection process, it can be common to have very long winning streaks when backing horses to be placed on the betting exchanges. These longer winning streaks more than make up for the relatively short prices that are offered on selections to be placed.
Place Market Important Notes
A few important things to note about place markets:
1) Unlike the betting exchange win markets, Place markets DO NOT go "In-Running" when the race starts but this is true of the traditional E/W bets offered by bookies as well.
2) If a race is planned as a 8 runner or more event but a number of horses become non-runners leaving less than 8 runners, the betting exchanges still offer odds on 3 places. This is different to bookmakers who in such cases adjust their odds on the place payment from 1/5 to 1/4 of the win odds BUT they only pay out on 2 places. If a 5,6 or 7 runner field is shortened to less than 5 runners, the betting exchanges will still offer place markets and payout if the horse finishes 1st or 2nd.
3) You can make up the equivalent of an E/W bet on the betting exchanges by placing a bet on the win market and a separate bet on the place market. Depending upon the type of race and the form of the market, you will often find that this offers more value in terms of odds than an E/W bet with a bookmaker.
Backing Or Laying On The Place Markets
As explained in article 1, the ability to Lay a selection is perhaps the most important feature of the betting exchanges. You now have the ability to Lay selections to be placed. In other words, if you have a valid reason to believe that a selection will not even finish in a place, Lay it to Lose on a betting exchange. The real beauty of laying on the place markets, is that the odds are always much lower than the outright win odds so your lay liabilities are much lower.
Trading On The Place Markets
As the place market prices are much lower than the outright win market prices, they also offer a great place to learn the skill of TRADING without much risk to your balance! Betting Exchange trading is simply the process of betting on price movements for guaranteed profits. E.g. Back a horse at 4.0 and then Lay it later at 3.0 for a no risk bet or guaranteed profit regardless of the outcome!
Betting exchange trading will be covered in detail in a future betting article.
Place markets should be used as part of your betting armory. They offer you the chance to make money frequently with long winning streaks being very common. This helps to build your confidence as well as your betting bank!
Bookie Each Way bets are not always poor bets but in the vast majority of races, the odds are stacked firmly in the favour of the bookmakers. They simply love punters taking EW bets on these races as they know its their bread and butter. A small proportion of races where the market is formed in a certain way do offer the punter very good E/W value but that's for a different day...
Well that's it for part 2 of my betting exchange articles. In part 3, I will be explaining the Betting Exchange In-Running markets.
