"In the Shadow of John Brown:
Toward a Renewed Interracial
Monday, October 2, 8 PM in Baker Hall 136A at CMU
(Staughton will be with us in person; Mumia electronically)
MUMIA ABU JAMAL has been on Pennsylvania's death row since his conviction for the 1981 shooting of a Philadelphia police officer. This Black journalist was hated by that city's police force and politicians for his scathing political radio commentaries and his early membership in the Black Panther Party. Mumia's case is a text book example of some of the issues that have led in recent years to new trials and exonerations for some 142 death row inmates nationally: witness intimidation, prosecutorial misconduct, incompetent counsel and racial bias. In the past year Federal Courts have at last agreed to hear appeals on issues in Mumia's case (e.g., racial bias). His lawyer, Robert R. Bryan, sums up the current situation this way: "This is the first time that any court has made a ruling that could lead to a new trial and freedom for Mumia, Nevertheless, he remains on death row and in great danger."
STAUGHTON LYND began his activist career in the South, serving as director of Freedom Schools in the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964. . . . In April 1965, he chaired the first march against the Vietnam War in Washington DC . . . Because of his advocacy, Lynd was unable to continue as a full-time history teacher. University history departments offered him positions, only to have the offers negatived by the school administrations. In 1976, he became a lawyer and until his 1996 retirement worked for Legal Services in Youngstown, Ohio, where he served as lead counsel in efforts to reopen the mills under worker-community ownership. Staughton and Alice also became deeply involved in responding to the growing number of prisons in Youngstown. In preparing his 2004 book Lucasville: The Untold Story Of A Prison Uprising, Staughton consulted with Mumia.
JOHANNA FERNANDEZ will comment on issues raised in discussion. She is Visiting Professor of History at CMU and co-director of the Oral History Project of Black Pittsburgh.

REVISIONING JOHN BROWN — paper prepared by Mumia Abu Jamal
"HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON" for a public discussion at Carnegie Mellon,
Pittsburgh, Oct. 2, 2006
John Brown poses difficult and undeniable problems for us. For some like Staughton Lynd his violence and his authoritarian nature, indeed his profoundly disturbing certainty of his mission ordained by god, makes him a troubling model for the challenges of our hour. This is especially so, for many of us who feel the urgent need for Black and White social movements providing the energy for true social change. At the cross roads stands the shade of John Brown who blocks the way forward unless and until we can make peace with the ghost of this uniquely American warrior. That is because we have tended to remember Brown, if at all, as this God intoxicated mad man. In our minds his eyes flash lighting and his white beard flows with his rage, his teeth barred with malevolence. For if he is indeed mad then he may be safely jettisoned to the netherworld of otherness for we are sane. John Brown was mad.
But are we not selective in our revulsion at needless violence? In Washington DC the imperial capital, there stands a statue — petina green with time — honoring none other than Nathan Bedford Forrest who as a confederate general in the civil war staged the infamous Fort Pillow massacre on April 13th 1864 where mostly Black union soldiers were murdered in cold blood, after their surrender. Moreover Forrest became a leading force in the post war US terrorist group known as the Ku Klux Klan. Yet there his statue stands to this very day on honored ground. Why one wonders should we bring up Forrest when discussion Brown? What could this possibly mean when thinking of Blacks and Whites working together to build a social change movement?
If we are honest then we must recognize that the common nexus is violence, but that is not all. The central theme is race. General Nathan Bedford Forrest fought both during and after the Civil War for White Nationalism and Black subordination. He fought for the freedom to enslave others. John Brown fought both in Kansas and in Harpers Ferry against slavery and for Black freedom. Only in a nation deeply committed to white nationalism and white supremacy would Forrest have statues built to his memory enshrined in the national capital no less, and Brown be remembered—if at all—as a madman. It is only in this context that Brown's immense contribution can be discussed, for to do otherwise is to speak of him and of violence in a vacuum. Staughton Lynd straightforwardly addressed the John Brown of Pottawatomie Kansas and his group's slaughter of five pro slavery men in May 1856. We should note, however, that Brown and his boys were part of a war in bleeding Kansas, a war to determine whether the territory would become a free state, or a slave state. And that violence, indeed horrific violence, was rampant on both sides. And the pro slavery side was winning. By using ruthless racist violence, terrorism and fear Kansas was tilting toward being a pro slavery state. Then came John Brown. Of Pottawatomie Workers World writer Shelly Ettinger recently wrote "At Pottawatomie on the night of May 24-25, 1856, John Brown led an armed band in a lightning raid against an encampment where he knew he'd find several of the worst of the Border Ruffians who were terrorizing the territory. When Brown and company rode off, they left the dead bodies of five racist thugs. The criminals Brown
and his band killed had been responsible for many assaults and murders; they were also known for capturing Native women and forcing them into prostitution and sexually assaulting Free State women." [Workers World, September 14, 2006)
Pottawatomie changed the temper of the times. Kansas was still bleeding Kansas but it was not only anti-slavery blood that flowed.
It is not about violence. It is about on which side the violence was utilized. Violence in support of slavery was invisible. Violence in support of freedom was horrible. Speaking of slavery what was that but violence? It was violence made acceptable and invisible by the verbal violence of the law. The John Brown who worked for several months writing the Chatham constitution knew this. And in the preamble to that document made it abundantly clear what he thought of slavery. A position by the way that was agreed to by the scores of Black men who met with him at the Chatham convention in Canada.
Indeed this Chatham constitution did not merely contemplate freedom and slavery. In a call that reflects its foresight, it called for sexual equality; a remarkable achievement considering it was written and voted for in 1858.
In his words expressed in the declaration of liberty Brown observed that "slavery from its earliest inception was none other than a most barbarous unprovoked and unjustifiable war of one portion of its citizens upon another portion" unquote. This constitution was a declaration of war between two irreconcilable sides, slavery and freedom. John Brown chose freedom. Nor did he speak of something that would be alien in Black hearts; none other than Frederick Douglas eight years before the Chatham convention described enslaved captives as "prisoners of war in an enemy's country, of a war too that is unrivaled for its injustice, cruelty and meanness." Douglass unabashedly called for war against the slavery system and even after the civil war began he was a persistent and unrelenting critic of Lincoln for his failure to call for Black troops. And what of Lincoln? Lincoln, the man honored today as the great emancipator, derided Brown and took pains to distance himself and his party from Brown's efforts. In a speech at the Cooper Institute in New York City on February 1860. Lincoln argued:
"You charge that we stir up insurrection among your slaves. We deny it. And what is your proof? Harpers Ferry. John Brown. John Brown was no republican and you have failed to implicate a single a republican in his Harpers Ferry enterprise." Lincoln went
on to compare Brown to lunatics and rageacides, drawing from glaring flawed examples abroad. Lincoln argued:
"John Brown's effort was peculiar — it was not a slave insurrection, it was an attempt by white men to get up a revolt among slaves in which the slaves refused to participate. In fact it was so absurd that the slaves with all their ignorance saw plainly enough that it would not succeed. That affair in its philosophy corresponds with the many attempts related in history of the assassination of kings and emperors. An enthusiast broods over the oppression of a people till he fancies himself commissioned by heaven to liberate. He ventures the attempt which ends in little else than his own execution. Orsini's.attempt on Louie Napoleon and John Brown's attempt at Harpers Ferry were in their philosophy precisely the same." — That was Abraham Lincoln.
Two years before his Cooper Institute speech in September 1858, Lincoln would exclaim, "I do not suppose that the most peaceful ultimate extinction [of slavery] would occur in less than a hundred years at the least." As the famed Black historian Lerone Bennet has written if Lincoln had had his way: Oprah Winfrey, Martin Luther King jr., Jessie Jackson senior, Lena Horn, Booker T Washington, Thurgood Marshall, Duke Ellington, Muhammad Ali, Jessie Owens, Louie Armstrong, WC Handy, Hank Aaron, Maya Angelou, Debbie Allen, Benjamin Quarles, Josephine Baker, Mary McCloud Bethune, Ralph Bunch, Malcolm X. Rosa Parks, Leontyne Price, Bessie Smith, Walter White, Madame CJ Walker, Maxine Waters, Count Basie, Gwendolyn Brooks, Ida B Wells-Barnett, Richard Wright, Alex Haley, and even Clarence Thomas, would have been born in slavery.
John Brown changed that. His sole surviving comrade Osborn Anderson in his remarkable book "A Voice from Harpers Ferry" writes a far different history than the professionals. For one thing he was there. And barely escaped with his life. For another he was a revolutionary who knew the principals. He argues that Harpers Ferry could have had a completely different ending for those men and the nation had Brown been less solicitous of his hostages. Anderson wrote "that hundreds of slaves were ready and would have joined in the work had Captain Brown's sympathies not been aroused in favor of the families of his prisoners, and that a very different result would have been seen in consequence there is no question. There was abundant opportunity for him and the party to leave a place in which they held entire sway and possession before the arrival of the troops, and so cowardly were the slave holders proper that from Colonel Lewis Washington the descendant of the father of his country (General George Washington) they were easily taken prisoners. They had not pluck enough to fight nor to use the well loaded arms in their possession. But were concerned rather in keeping a whole skin by parlaying or by spilling cowardly tears to excite pity, as did Colonel Washington and as in that way escape merited punishment. No, the conduct of the slaves was beyond all praise, and could our brave old captain have steeled his heart against the entreaties of his captives or shut up the fountains of his sympathies against their families, could he for the moment have forgotten them in the selfish thought of his own friends and kindred, or by adhering to the original plan, have left the place and thus looked forward to the prospective freedom of the slaves, hundreds ready and waiting would have been armed before 24 hours had elapsed."— Osborn Anderson, as one of the Black and White revolutionaries who tried to seize Harpers Ferry and thus fully cognizant of the failures of that effort, yet also saw the national impact of Brown's work as setting the light to the fuse that would blast slavery into the trash can of history. In Anderson's words published in 1859, "As it was even the noble old man's mistakes were productive of great good. The fact of which the future historian will record without the embarrassment attending its present narration. John Brown did not only capture and hold Harpers Ferry for 20 hours, but he held the whole south, he captured President Buchanan and his cabinet, convulsed the whole country, killed Governor Wise and dug the mine and laid the train which will eventually dissolve the union between freedom and slavery, the rebound reveals the truth, so let it be. Two years after Anderson's words were on the page, uniformed men were marching with John Brown's name on their lips as the Civil War dissolved the union between freedom and slavery.
If we go into any Black neighborhood today whether north south, Midwest or west, and asked the question which three white men are most admired I would wager that most would answer with perhaps the following 1) Jesus 2) John F Kennedy and three John Brown. I grew up in a project home where my mother had a painting of a blue eyed Jesus next to a photo of John F Kennedy on the living room wall. Only after his 1968 assassination did the face of Martin Luther King Jr. get placed in the middle. The point is that in Black memory John Brown holds a treasured place. His example, his sacrifice, and yes, his fight against slavery, made him a name that would not be forgotten. That is because blacks know almost instinctively that whites who would put their lives on the line for Blacks are rare creatures. Yet whites try their damndest to forget him, remember "he's crazy." How we reconcile his memory and his meaning for America will go a long way toward determining, whether, how and indeed if we work together to try to go about social change. Comes down to something that is also incredibly rare and that is trust. During the 60's as Staunton Lynd remembers, Blacks in SNCC or the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, urged their white members to leave for a few years while both Blacks and Whites "got it together." As he notes those few years turned into decades and don't seem any closer even as we open a new century. Later in the 60's and early 70's a group tried to aspire to John Brown's high standard: the SDS or the students for a democratic society. As a member of the formation has recently noted, it broke from within chiefly because of the toxin of white supremacy. David Gilbert, writing of the split informs us, "SDS split apart along the basic fault line of the US bedrock of white supremacy. Between the desire for a potential majority base among white Americans and the urgent need for militant solidarity with Black and other third world struggles, one side invoking a Euro centric Marxism, said that the "revolution was about the working class" and used that as a left cover for retreat from fighting alongside Vietnam and the Panthers, claiming all nationalism is reactionary. The other side inspired by Marxist- led third world struggles rightly saw solidarity with national liberation as a priority for any revolutionary movement worthy of that name. However we wrongly abandoned efforts to organize significant numbers of white people, which also limited our base for anti-racist activism." "That is from No Surrender — writings from an anti-imperialist, David Gilbert. The children who claim John Brown's paternity could not measure up to the man. As long whites can opt out of a true revolutionary movement and the state will provide every opportunity, then they will do so, especially when the forces of repression ratchet up the pressure. In the MOVE organization when the conflict between the state and the organization hardened we saw whites and other races peel away from the movement, leaving its mostly Black core. When the going gets rough Whites get going, it seems.
That was the meaning and intent of the killing of a white housewife from Detroit named Viola Liuzzo slain by the Klan in Alabama but also defamed by the FBI for the capital crime of being like John Brown, a nigger lover. In a white supremacist state there is no greater crime than a white national can commit. Consider if you will the main offense for which John Brown was convicted, sentenced and executed for "treason" — this for a man who fought successfully for the inclusion of an article in the 1858 Chatham Constitution over objection which forbade any attempt to overthrown any state or the federal government. Brown in defense of article 46 argued "the old flag is good enough for me; under it freedom was won from the tyrants of the old world for white men, now I intend to make it do duty for Black men. By so doing he betrayed whiteness and earned the moniker 'mad'"
John Brown certainly lacked a democratic sense — one that is virtually always lacking in a military structure. He was also a man drunk with a certainty of his mission from god. Yet so too was Martin Luther King. Staughton Lynd's Zapatista visions, does give us valuable insight into another way of living in the world. It is refreshing such democracy as practiced not by the people so much as so called leaders; we see such things so rarely today. We can all learn from the struggles in the south, from Latin America, where we find indigenous led and women led formations that are deeply rooted in the community. The ghost of John Brown stands between us even after one hundred and fifty years. How we remember him, and indeed —if —we remember him has impact on what future we will have. Was he mad? Or was he inspired by the burning fire of freedom? How we answer that question will determine whether he will go in peace or continue to haunt us into our future.

On Saturday, November 16th we will be having our monthly meeting. We will be meeting to discuss several new and exciting projects and upcoming lectures. These projects will offer students the opportunity to gain hands on experience and broaden your skills in the profession. The projects include working with DSpace and also for awesome organizations like Popup Archive and ArchiveTeam (look them up and be amazed).
Here is a detailed layout of some of the projects we have available:
The School of Library and Information Science at Wayne State University is partnering with Archive Team and Pop-up Archives for some innovative (alas unpaid) student projects. The summaries are listed below and may qualify for an archival or digital content management practicum project.
Archive Team is a ground breaking organization that preserves web sites that are ending. They have been instrumental in saving many social media sites that have closed quickly as well as being proactive to save web content in troubled areas. They have offered our students the opportunity to preserve Detroit-oriented websites via their web preservation process. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the tools for capturing web sites, as well as the creation of descriptive content for long-term preservation.
Pop-Up Archive is a system to create archives for smaller institutions. This was created while they were in Library school. They focus primarily on audio and are interested in our students working on the Kitchen Sisters Archive (heard on NPR) and Illinois Public Media (see below).Kitchen Sisters legacy metadata integrationThe Kitchen Sisters have been producing radio stories for NPR and public broadcast for over 30 years. They chronicle the B-side of history—seldom heard voices, immigrant's stories, little known histories; the traditions and rituals people.For this project, the team will assist on a NEH Digital Humanities Startup Grant to design and implement a process for integrating pre-existing Kitchen Sisters text transcripts and metadata spreadsheets with audio files in Pop Up Archive. The team will be responsible for end-to-end project life cycle with oversight from Pop Up Archive and developers at the Public Radio Exchange.Desired skill sets: metadata modeling, scripting, cataloging, project management, enthusiasm for public media.Technology involved: Ruby on Rails app, Postgres database, scripting in language of your choice.Illinois Public Media PBCore metadata modelingIllinois Public Media is a not-for-profit public media service of the College of Media at the University of Illinois, educating, entertaining, inspiring and empowering by airing the best of public television and radio programs.For this project, the team will prepare one or more detailed mappings from PBCore, the broadcast public media metadata standard, to the Pop Up Archive metadata schema, and using Illinois Public Media content as a use case. The PBCore metadata schema is robust and flexible, so mappings can be approached in multiple ways.Desired skill sets: metadata modeling, cataloging, enthusiasm for public media.Technology involved: PBCore XML, potentially XSLT, XPath.DSpaceThe DSpace project that our group started last Winter Term is still a work in progress. The goal of the project it to document and preserve the history of our LIS program here at Wayne State. Currently, we need more metadata procedures set, scanning and indexing of the archives of the program. This project is a great way to get your feet wet with working with digital repositories and you will be directly contributing to our program's legacy.
If you are interested in working on these projects, please contact Kim Schroeder. These are new adventures and we are still working out the details, but first we need to know if students are interested. Students can further develop current skills and publish or present from these projects!
This work can be done on-site at WSU or at home for our distance students!
These are great resume builders, so make sure to stop by (physically or virtually) if you can! If not, please contact Kim for more information!
Speaking of which, we will also be hosting a lecture directly after the meeting (at around 1:15 PM EST), given by Kim Schroeder. Kim is a SLIS Lecturer, Career Adviser and also our very awesome, award-winning Faculty Adviser. The lecture will be focused on Digital Forensics.
Here is some background on what the lecture will entail:
In the development of digital preservation, more and more tools are needed to preserve, migrate and analyze high volumes of digital content. Some tools exist in the criminal justice profession to analyze illegal computer behavior, espionage, malicious code, etc. Cal Lee and Kam Woods of the UNC School of Library and Information Science are incorporating these tools into Digital Forensics for Archivists. The WSU Digital Projects Lab has installed their software for our students.
Kim will be lecturing on this avenue for digital preservation management and demonstrating these tools.
Please feel free to join us either in person on the third floor of the Purdy-Kresge or on adobe connect remotely at https://connect.slis.wayne.edu/ndsa. We look forward to hearing from new and current NDSA-WSU members in person and online at the meeting!

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
The opening stanza saw little activity other than Lane who nailed Dallas with a shot to the back of the head with an illegal punch. Dallas used his jab to control the real estate battle and this also allowed him to fight the tough Lane from the outside.
At the end of the fourth round, Dallas avoided four straight punches by slick movement and his hands down. Lane was the aggressor but his aggression was ineffectual.
In the seventh round, Lane's aggressiveness took advantage of Dallas' sloppy approach as he managed to nail Dallas with solid shots. Lane effectively jabbed throughout the round and this set up a desperate eighth round as Lane needed a knockout to win.
Dallas used his foot movement to frustrate Lane as he could not move effectively inside . Eventually, Dallas outboxed Lane for the victory in the final stanza.
The undefeated Shawn Porter fought the taller Ray Robinson, who lost his zero in his last fight. The opening round saw Porter attacked the body of his taller opponent as he attempted to turn the fight into a brawl.
For Robinson, his goal was to keep Porter at a distance and near the end of the round; he finally found the distance to get off punches. In the second round, Porter threw the more punches and the harder one but Robinson connected on the more accurate punches.
The round started where the first ended with Robinson attempting to his height to force Porter back. The third round proved to be an even affair as both fighters was able threw effective punches but Porter failed to jab his way in and this allowed Robinson to counter.
Showtime's Steve Farhood asked the question — would Porter tire over the second half of the fight since he threw every punch with bad intention?
My own thought at this point was would Robinson wear out due to Porter's pressure? Porter won the fourth round with his pursuit and Robinson showed boxing savvy when he nailed Porter with three punch combination.
In the sixth round, Porter power came through with a minute left as Porter unleashed power rights that sent Robinson to the canvas and Robinson used every aspect of his experience to survive the round.
Porter came out in the seventh round with the idea of ending the fight but Robinson moved to avoid the power of Porter's punches. Robinson spent most of the seventh moving out of harms way with tired legs.
The power of Robinson punches had no steam but he managed to survive the round.
In the eighth round, Robinson returned the favor of the last two rounds as Robinson roughed up Porter except the last 30 seconds where he landed two big rights but Robinson may have managed to close the gap that developed over the last two rounds.
At the end of the ninth round, Porter wobbled Robinson with big right.
In the final round, Robinson threw the more punches and more accurate and may have captured the final round. Porter won the bout but the fight was closer than the scores as both fighters showed an wiliness to exchange while producing an exciting fight.
Undefeated Fernando Guerrero faced the wily veteran Ishe Smith, who has fought better fighters in his career. The first round was one of those rounds with both fighters felt each other, looking for weakness.
The chess match continued in the second round and Guerrero discovered that his punches were hitting nothing but gloves and the only punches he connected on body shots.
For the opening rounds, Smith managed to control the pace. Smith went to the body with ferocious intensity but in the third round, he was warned twice for low blows.
In the fourth round, Guerrero picked up pace as he out-punched the older Smith. Guerrero attacked the body and finally those body shots open up head shots as he took control of the round.
Smith lost a point for low blow in the sixth round after warnings in earlier rounds and Guerrero's activity may have turned this into a 10-8 round. At the end of the seventh round, Smith woke up as he landed several shots as he took the momentum from Guerrero won the first two minutes of the round.
For the first time in several rounds, Guerrero retreated. In the eighth round, a shocking event happened as the bell was ready to sound when Smith slipped a right to Guerrero's ear and this negated the point that he lost for a low blow in the sixth round. I
It also turned a close round into a 10-8 round for Smith.
This made the ninth and 10th rounds crucial for both fighters. During the ninth round, Smith looked the most effective but as Farhood observed, Smith should go for the knockout to ensure victory.
In the final stanza, both fighters exchanged blows in the trenches as they fought in a small portion of the ring but Smith may have had the more accurate punches in a close round to score as he took the undefeated Guerrero to the deepest water he seen in his career.
Smith may have won the last three rounds including a 10-8 round, but the drama remained. Guerrero won a close decision that could have easily gone the other way.
Smith provided Guerrero with a competitive fight and gave him a boxing lesson. As Farhood observed, "For Guerrero, this was his welcome to pro rank," and Antonio Tarver added, Guerrero had "his baptism by fire."
This was a card in which four undefeated fighters came in but only three stayed undefeated as Dallas removed Lane zero from his record. Both Porter and Guerrero participated in fights closer than on the scorecard learned some valuable lessons.

On 5, May 2013, I participated in a trip held by WWF. It was an eco tour to Hoi Ha Wan, the home to a lot of coral reef. This tour gave me an opportunity to know more about marine life and its situation in Hong Kong.
We first attended a talk in the Hoi Ha Marine Life Center held by WWF staff. They explained the details about the characteristics of different coral reefs and other sea animals, so that we can recognize at once when we were travelling on the glass boat. It was amazing and lucky that I could have a closer look at the mysterious marine life. On that day, the water quality was not that good and we could barely see some of them.
Though the coral reef in Hoi Ha Wan is not as colorful and diversified as in other places such as Australia, we should still appreciate and be proud of having such beautiful nature, as only 0.1% of the ocean has coral reef, and Hong Kong is lucky to have them.
However, it is sad that coral bleaching has appeared in Hoi Ha Wan. Coral are sensitive and it is difficult for some of them to adapt to changes in temperature and acidity in the sea. For example, they can only survive within 18 to 20 degree Celsius. It is really pity to lose such beauty of Mother Nature. And at the same time, it reminds me to be more aware of climate change and how it affects the ecosystem of the ocean.
In addition, the eco tour is effective in educating the public the environmental awareness, especially to the younger generation. In the trip, most participants were family based, and there were so many children who participated. Some parents were explaining to their children why the coral died. This kind of education is more interesting compared to the traditional style. It also gives children a real visualization of how the marine life is affected due to climate changes and human actions. At the end of the tour, there were some games to strengthen people's environmental awareness, such as guessing which seafood is more environmentally friendly in consumption. The games were interactive and directly educated people on what they can do to save marine life. For example, we can try to eat less deep sea fishes. This information given by the tour could help people realize how to consume the right amount and the right type of seafood, which, in the long term, may help reduce the heavy consumption of seafood in Hong Kong as well.
Besides, WWF succeeded in persuading the government to take action to protect the sea. For example, the government has prohibited trawler, which is a fishing method that causes serious harm to the sea bed. However, there is a lot we still have to do to protect the marine life as it is really vulnerable and sensitive to new changes. We have the responsibility to understand how human activities, such as the artificial beaches at Lung Mei and the reclamation in Tung Chung, affect the marine life negatively. We have to raise our voices and try different methods to protect it.

One can be saved and still be disobedient in many things. The Lord is always working in us to produce evidence of our salvation, which baptism and the taking of communion are. If one is saved, then baptism and communion ARE to be partaken of, as acts of obedience.Originally Posted by OBP
You said that "it was enough that he wanted to be saved".
Baptism BEFORE salvation is not efficacious for salvation to any extent. Proof of that is millions of Catholics (and other denominations) who were baptized as babies and live lives of disobedience to God's word.
Wanting to be saved and then being baptized in no way shows a death and resurrection with Christ, which baptism is symbolic of. Scripture may not have elaborated on the jailer's heart condition when he was baptized, but I would guarantee that it was past the point of "wanting to be saved".

Paige Slater has finally put herself back together after suffering a nervous breakdown following the worst experience of her life, which ended in the death of someone she loved. She has a good job, a nice little cottage and has started dating again.
However, when she starts to experience disturbing dreams involving Glenn Corrigan, her best friend's husband, she fears she's suffering a relapse. Glenn is a local celebrity, the charismatic heart surgeon but in her dreams he's a terrifying vision from hell.
When one of her friends dies at the hands of a serial killer operating in the area, the dreams intensify to the point where Paige finds it difficult to discern fantasy from reality. Is her worst fear being realised and she's experiencing another breakdown or is there a more sinister reason behind these frightening nightmares?
Contains scenes of sex and violence.

With winter hitting the whole of the UK and blanketing most of the country in snow, the need to stay warm is uppermost in most people's minds.
Having a reliable heater at home can make a real difference, and also provides an emergency lifeline should your boiler break down when temperatures plummet. And with the constant threat of more snow forecast along with a freezing February, now could be the perfect time to buy.
But how do you pick the right heater for your needs? Read on to find out.
What types of heater are there?
This is the key decision you need to make, choosing between OIL FILLED, CONVECTOR or FAN.
Oil Filled is like having an extra radiator and looks very similar to what may already be hanging from your wall. The oil inside heats up, warming the unit and distributing the heat outwards across the room. However, they can be slow to warm up and rather heavy. But they may be the most economical option.
Convector heaters look similar to Oil Filled ones but blow out hot air through a vent in the top, circulating it throughout the room. They heat up quickly.
Fan heaters are very similar to Convectors and warm up the fastest. They are normally the smallest and cheapest of the three and the easiest to use. Again hot air is blown out through a vent by an internal fan, but this can be a lot noisier than through convection.
The air stream will tend to blow in just one direction, so it will take longer to completely heat a room. You can though buy fan heaters that oscillate like a traditional fan, spinning around to distribute the hot air.
One important factor to bear in mind with Oil Filled and Convector is Portability, so ensure these have casters to wheel them around.
Is the power important?
The higher the power, measured in wattage, the quicker it will heat a room and the higher the maximum temperature that can be reached. In general, the more power, the more expensive it will be to run.
Many products on the market will have variable power and heat settings allowing you more flexibility, giving the opportunity to turn it down and keep a steady flow of hot air once your room has reached a toasty temperature.
What other features are there?
TIMER – Very useful for keeping rooms warm overnight when the temperatures dip the most. A timer will allow you to set the hour when it will turn ON and then OFF – often along with a maximum temperature you wish it to reach. A digital timer is the easiest to use, and may also allow you to set both hours and minutes, while a more traditional mechanical dial timer is cheaper but can prove confusing.
CLIMATE/THERMOSTATIC CONTROL – Often used alongside the Timer, this allows you to set a minimum temperature so that the heater turns on when it senses the surrounding air has become that cold. A maximum temperature can also be set to put the heater into a standby maintenance mode to keep the area at a constant temperature.
RAPID/INSTANT HEAT – As the name suggests, this provides a turbo boost to warm up the heater in the quickest possible time.
COLD AIR – Not all heaters only blow out hot air. Some can also double up with cold too, making them perfect for the summer and better value-for-money. They won't be as effective as a proper air-conditioning unit however.
FROST PROTECTION – Similar to Climate Control, this senses when a frost is forming and switches on to warm up the room. It is a handy mode to leave your heater in when going away, to lessen the risk of frozen/burst pipes.
REMOTE CONTROL – Handy for switching on a burst of heat from bed, some more expensive models will come with a remote.
What about the Dyson Hot?
The most expensive heating option on the market, this looks like Dyson's innovative cooling fan with an open middle through which a powerful stream of hot air is blown.
With variable temperature settings and an oscillating movement, Dyson claim it is the fastest machine on the market for heating a room as it distributes the hot air more evenly than its rivals. It also comes with a remote control.

Despite urbanization and destruction of their habitat, venomous snakes remain plentiful in most parts of Africa. Throughout the continent, snakes are feared and misunderstood even though most are harmless. Venomous snakes bite humans only when they feel threatened, are trodden on or picked up inadvertently. Snakes are creatures that inspire awe, reverence and even worship in some areas, and they are exhibited as performing animals by traditional snake charmers. Despite this, they are usually loathed and killed on sight. Their survival depends on their remaining undetected. Snakes co-exist with humans in homes, gardens and outhouses but their presence usually goes unnoticed.
Fear of snakes is understandable since they are responsible for an untold number of bites and numerous deaths as well as cases of permanent physical handicap. No country is free from the risk of snakebite, and in some rural areas, such as the Benue Valley of northern Nigeria, snakebite is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among farmers, pastoralists, hunters and children. Snakes such as puff adders (Bitis arietans) also kill and injure many domestic dogs and grazing animals.
The exact burden of human suffering attributable to snakebite is difficult to determine because bites occur most commonly in rural areas where the first impulse of many bite victims is to seek the help of a trusted traditional healer rather than go to a Western-style hospital where their attendance may be recorded and reported to a national authority. The inadequacy of official snakebite statistics is well illustrated by Swaroop and Grab's survey of global snakebite mortality (Swaroop and Grab, 1954). During a sixyear period 1947–52, an annual average of 27.7 snakebites with 1.5 deaths per 100 000 population was reported in the whole of the northern region of Nigeria. However, in the six-year period 1964–69, an annual average of 158.8 bites with 8.3 deaths per 100 000 population was reported from one district (Muri) with a population of some 250 000 people (Warrell and Arnett, 1976). Some epidemiological data on snakebite in African countries are presented in Chapter 3 but the figures are likely to underestimate the true magnitude of the problem.
A possible way to obtain reliable figures is by completing questionnaires in randomly selected households as part of a properly designed community-based study. Only a few such studies have been published from Africa. In Bandafassi, Senegal; Muri Division, Nigeria adult snakebite fatalities per 100 000 population per year, respectively, were reported. These studies revealed an unexpectedly high rate of snakebite mortality and confirmed the low rate of hospital attendance (8.5% in Malumfashi, 27% in Kilifi), the preference for traditional treatments (36% of Kilifi patients visited the traditional therapist) and high incidence of persisting symptoms among survivors (19% in Malumfashi, 36% in Kilifi) including some amputations and deformities. Snakebite is an important public health problem in these areas and deserves far more attention from health ministries and other authorities.
African populations are not equally affected by snakebite. Children account for 20%–40% of cases in most published studies. Farmers and other agricultural workers are the most common victims. The occupational aspect of snakebite must be better appreciated as the targeted workers, which include farmers, plantation workers, herdsmen and hunters, are prime food producers and therefore particularly valuable members of the community. Although snakes are almost universally feared and even hated, their essential role in the balance of nature must not be forgotten. They protect crops and food stores by preying on large numbers of rodents. Without this control, bourgeoning numbers of rodents might cause epidemics of plague, typhus, leptospirosis, Lassa fever and other potentially lethal diseases that are transmitted from rodents to humans.
Larger snakes such as pythons and Bitis species are frequently eaten as delicacies and valuable protein supplements, and also as part of various ju-ju rituals in West Africa. Humans can become infected with Armillifer armillatus (pentastomid), a parasite of the respiratory tract of snakes, by eating uncooked snakes. Calcified nymphs of this pentastomid were found in 1.4% of abdominal radiographs in Ibadan, Nigeria and in 22.5% of autopsies in Democratic Republic of Congo, 8% in Cameroon and 5% in West Africa (Palmer and Reeder, 2001). These observations show how commonly snakes are eaten in Africa.
Goats, sheep, domestic fowl and pets should be protected from pythons, but these snakes are valuable in controlling the numbers of feral cats and dogs. Elimination or eradication of snakes, even if it were possible, is therefore undesirable. Snake predators such as storks, hornbills, small carnivorous mammals and monitor lizards control their numbers. It is clear that, despite the very real risk of snakebite, humans must learn to co-exist peacefully with snakes, respecting their place in nature while minimizing the danger they pose by avoiding them as far as possible.

text: I need some info here. I'm getting a new Mac and have the choice between getting a 17 Inch Flatpanel monitor or a 19 inch. The 17 inch has DVI, while the 19 inch doesn't (the 19 does however have better contrast, which is a major plus). My current 17 inch died on me last night, so time for a new one. Now my question is, is there any quality loss (noticable) when running the 19 inch over a DVI to VGA adapter (Mac has DVI out)? Or will it be the same as running the monitor over a normal VGA port? Thanks!

How to: Reduce Energy Costs with Window Dressings
Curtains, shutters, shades and blinds—did you know these window coverings could actually save you money? Believe it or not, both indoor and outdoor window coverings are great ways to reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.
Here are a few examples to help you save energy by using window coverings:
- Window awnings can reduce solar heat gain in the summer by up to 65% on south-facing windows and up to 77% on west-facing windows.
- Window blinds—vertical or horizontal slat-type—are more effective at reducing summer heat gain than winter heat loss.
- Draperies should be hung as close to the windows as possible and should fall to the floor or windowsill to reduce heat exchange or convection.
- Installing an insulating window panel or pop-in shutter is a fairly simple DIY project that doesn't require any hardware. Panels are made so that the edges seal tightly against the window frame. Seals can be made from magnetic tape or Velcro.
- Mesh window screens can diffuse solar radiation, reducing heat gain in the summer. Effective on east- and west-facing windows, the screens are mounted in an exterior frame and cover the entire window.
Properly designed exterior shutters may provide the best possible window insulation system in addition to several other advantages:
- Weather protection
- Added security
- Doesn't require interior space
- No thermal shock to windows if left closed.

Well, it took a while but we finally made it to the Lower 48 and back to the East Coast! Take a look at this Lightroom generated map of our trip. It's compiled using the GPS information in my cell phone photos.
Told you it was a lo-o-o-o-o-ng trip!
We left via the Alaska Marina Highway (the ferry to the Lower 48) on the 9th and arrived in Bellingham, Washington on the 13th. After arriving in Washington we let the pets recuperate a day in Bellingham before we hit the road headed to the Jersey Shore.
When you travel with pets via the Ferry they have to remain in the vehicle on the car deck. They can not come up to your cabin with you or anywhere else on the Ferry. You are allowed "car deck visits" every 6 hours or so where you can let your dog out for a walk and they can go potty on the concrete floor of the deck (you of course have to clean it up with paper towels). Many dogs have a problem with this because they think of it as "going in the house". When we moved to Alaska back in 2014 our dog would not go at all – she held it until we took her off the Ferry at each Port we visited. She was much better this time and seemed to have the whole process figured out, which was much easier for me as I wasn't spending the whole time worried to death about her.
I stood out on the deck as the Ferry pulled away and began our journey South. It was cloudy and raining but I didn't want to miss the chance for one last good look at Prince William Sound and Whittier.
The ferry was running late this day and off schedule for departing Whittier due to a repair being done to an elevator. We finally set off around 3pm but it was so cold, dark & rainy that once we got past Prince William Sound I really didn't do much but settle into our cabin, grab something to eat & go to sleep early. Here are some of the views of the Sound as we left: (click on any photo to view larger and as a slideshow)
The second day of our trip was spent crossing the Gulf of Alaska which is mostly open ocean on once side but some decent views of mountains & even a view glaciers on the other. I'll share some of my photos from that part of the trip soon!
Glad to not be traveling right now though…. now if only the movers would arrive with my stuff!!!
Safe Travels…

Main Pick: Wolfsbane and Mistletoe(Kitty Norville #2.5 - Il est né) Edit
The editors of "Many Bloody Returns" deliver the perfect howl-iday gift, with new tales from Patricia Briggs, Carrie Vaughn, and many more.
"New York Times" bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Keri Arthur, and Carrie Vaughn—along with eleven other masters of the genre—offer all-new stories on werewolves and the holidays, a fresh variation on the concept that worked so well with birthdays and vampires in "Many Bloody Returns."
The holidays can bring out the beast in anyone. They are particularly hard for lycanthropes. Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner have harvested the scariest, funniest and saddest werewolf tales by an outstanding pack of authors, best read by the light of a full moon with a silver bullet close at hand.
Whether wolfing down a holiday feast (use your imagination) or craving some hair of the dog on New Year's morning, the werewolves in these frighteningly original stories will surprise, delight, amuse, and scare the pants off readers who love a little wolfsbane with their mistletoe.

Can an Alpha wolf who's met his match...
Navy SEAL Bjornolf Jorgenson has had tough missions before, but going undercover with feisty gray wolf Anna Johnson could top the list. She drives him crazy—in more ways than one. Now he has to investigate a murder, supervise a wild teenage wolf—and handle Christmas with Anna.
Survive the Holidays with her?
For Anna, the only thing worse than staging the perfect family Christmas is having to do it with Bjornolf posing as her husband. Anna is a serious undercover operative who isn't afraid of a fight, even with a hunky SEAL shifter. With a killer on the loose, Anna just wants to focus on their mission, but the one thing she can't fight is her sizzling chemistry with Bjornolf.

I updated the median home price page on the SloWatch.com site with 4th quarter and 2nd Half prices for each city. In addition, I calculated the 2009 median home price for SLO County and compared it to previous years.
The chart below compares the 2008 vs. 2009 median home price. Only 1 city had a higher median home price and that was Templeton. Morro Bay was next on the list with only $2,000 less than 2008's median. All the other cities lost 5 to 31 percent.
But that's calculated for the entire year so doesn't tell the whole story. If you look at the Median Home section on the SloWatch.com site, you'll see that the 4th quar4ter of 2009 had higher median home prices than previous 2009 quarters in some cities.
Here's the median home price comparison for Santa Maria and Orcutt:

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since we were anticipating the release of Call of Duty Black Ops II. Each year a new, exciting, and star studded commercial is released for the popular first person shooter. This year features the very sexy Megan Fox wielding a sniper rifle and four friends taking on enemies in locations like Las Vegas and outer space. It's a cool commercial but I personally like last year's commercial for Black ops II better. It featured Robert Downy Jr., FPS Russia, and of course Zombies.

Upcoming BlackBerry A10 leaks with image
It appears that an image of what is should be the BlackBerry A10, an upcoming BB 10 smartphone, has just leaked, and the photo confirms the rumors that the handset will be build around a 5-inch display.
According to the source, the BlackBerry A10, which is also known under the codename of Aristo, will be equipped with a 5-inch 1,280 x 720 pixel display (just like its Z10 predecessor), and not a full HD screen that is now available on most recent high-end smartphones, as it was expected. Other BlackBerry A10 features that we can let you know of include a Snapdragon chipset with a 1.5 GHz quad-core Krait processor backed up by 2 GB of RAM and an 8 megapixel primary camera.
It looks like the design of the BlackBerry A10 is quite similar to that of the BlackBerry Z10, except that this time the piece at the bottom of the phone is colored in white, rather than black.
As expected, the BlackBerry A10 will come running on BlackBerry 10 OS. Unfortunately, we have no information on the pricing and the launch date of the smartphone, but we'll certainly let you know as soon as we do.

| Princess Elise
EDBW Wrestler
Princess Elise is a character in the notorious Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) (aka Sonic '06) and a wrestler in EDBW. Originally meant as a cruel joke, she has recently started to make more regular appearances on the show.
In Sonic '06 Edit
For some reason, SEGA thought it a good idea to give Sonic the Hedgehog a human love interest who looked more like a JRPG character than a Sonic character for Sonic '06. This was far from the dumbest thing in that game, but that's beside the point. Elise is the princess of Soleana, a magical kingdom, who gets kidnapped by Dr. Eggman because she's the key to the Flames of Disaster or some stupid shit. Then Sonic rescues her. Then she gets kidnapped by Eggman again because Sonic was looking in the wrong direction for a few seconds. Then she gets rescued again, rinse and repeat. While she was getting rescued and kidnapped over and over again the other 'hogs find out a bunch of shit about her backstory that makes no goddamn sense. The gist being if Elise cries then the world is fucked. So the evil dark bad-guy hedgehog [fuck trying to explain that shit] kills Sonic so she cries and then that summons the evil fire god. But don't worry because she kisses Sonic and brings him back to life in what is probably the most awkward scene in Sonic history. After that, Sonic undoes the past and everything that happened so Elise doesn't even remember Sonic or any of the events of the game.
But we remember. Oh Deer Lord do we remember.

A: Speculations abound as to why dogs eat grass.
One common theory is my pet must be sick and needs to vomit. In a study of 1,500 dogs that had eaten grass at least 10 times in the past year, only nine per cent were reported as being ill before grass consumption.
The truth is that we have no idea why dogs eat grass. It would appear that grass-eating is a normal behaviour for some dogs. According to a survey of over 1,000 dogs, 68 per cent were reported to consume plants on a weekly basis – grass being the most common at 79 per cent of plant material consumed.
This survey found no relationship between sex, breed, diet, fiber content in the diet, nor the frequency or type of plant eaten. However, the survey did reveal that younger dogs more often consume plants than older dogs.
Q: Is it normal for my dog to vomit after eating grass?
A: Yes. This survey found that one in every four dogs vomited after eating plant material. If your dog doesn't vomit, then depending on the amount consumed, the grass may irritate the colon causing a soft, mucous- and grass-filled stool. Their stool will return to normal once all grass has been passed.

Money management options trading50 comments
Currency trading brokers in mumbai sanitation
One of the reasons many traders gravitate towards trading Futures is the relatively low start-up cost. We would all like to trade an account that has several thousands of dollars in it, but realistically, most traders have small accounts. These accounts are still tradable, but you must have very strict risk management. When trading an undercapitalized account, you will find it much more difficult than trading a larger account. When your account has excess funds, you can build a buffer to help protect you against the inevitable mistakes and account drawdowns due to losses.
Unfortunately, small accounts do not allow you this comfort level. Larger accounts also allow a trader to be more diversified and flexible in their market choices to trade. Another nice feature of a larger account is you can trade more contracts when the need arises. A small account might limit you to trading one contract, and when it comes time to exit your trade, it is harder to manage.
Because of this, you are faced with the question of, do I get out here or let the market run? Usually, this turns into an emotional decision for most traders and they do not manage the trade well. We are all aware of the psychological challenges facing a trader, but a small account trader has even more obstacles.
Traders with smaller accounts realize they cannot afford to lose much before they are not allowed to trade. Performance pressure will lead to costly errors. These types of traders usually start thinking that they will just take one or two ticks profit and slowly build their accounts up. Unfortunately, the market volatility does not allow them to place a protective stop that is in proportion to the reward.
Soon the market takes back all the small profits, usually in one trade. Even large account traders will have drawdowns losing streaks , but their account sizes allow them to continue trading without much added stress unlike a small account trader. If you do have a small trading account, here is some help for you. I probably made it sound like small accounts cannot succeed at all in the Futures markets. My intent was to make you aware of how much more care and selection you must put into your trading plan and decisions.
This way you will not become careless and give back all your profits. An advantage that small accounts do have is that they are aware of how close they are to not being able to trade. Therefore, they carefully plan and patiently wait for their trade setups unlike a trader with too much money in their account who will take trades on any whim at all because they feel like they are playing with house money. Trading Futures is all about using leverage and this allows smaller accounts to participate more easily than using a cash account to buy stock with.
Keep in mind that leverage can cut both ways and losses can and do occur. Also, in Futures trading, you can lose more money than is in your trading account unlike a cash account where your losses are limited to the amount you paid plus commissions. When placing trades, make sure your strategy is allowing you at least a 1: This conservative style trading will allow you to have one winner and then 3 losers before you are back to even again.
Apply this rule to day and swing trades alike. Give the market time to reach your price targets and do not cut your profits short. Doing so will ultimately lead to losses taking away your profits much quicker. Many traders have a have a hard time taking a loss and will let their losses run, or have too big of a stop for their account size. This is also another reason to have a trading plan because it makes you trade consistently. If you follow your plan, it is highly unlikely you will have losses in a row.
Most traders who do suffer these types of losses are the ones who change their trading style after every loss, and therefore, have no consistency. By following them, you will have a much better chance of surviving Futures trading.
Do not expect to double your account in the first year of trading. Many traders feel they should be able to do this. In all reality, you should be about break-even at the end of your first year. If you can do this, you will have a good chance of becoming a successful trader. Most new traders start out making money in their first few trades because they wait for their setups and then take the trade.
Then after a few profits, they become impatient and trade every time a market moves. In trading, it is not how much you make, it is how much you keep that is important.
The formula above is the one I prefer because this will allow you to increase contract size as you become a better trader, and decrease it when you start to have drawdowns. Keep in mind this is your maximum number of contracts to trade and you do not have to trade this amount on every trade.
Make sure you have a well-written trading plan, you have confidence in your strategy, yourself, and plan on this taking some time and do not expect overnight success.

Despite the current weather pattern that has brought us some welcome rain, and even snow and cold temperatures at upper elevations, the global climate is still warming, and we should be planning for hotter, drier weather in the future. If you have room to plant some drought tolerant succulents consider including a sturdy little jade plant in the ground or an attractive pot in your garden or in a pot indoors. Jade plants are good candidates for bonsai growers as they can tolerate severe pruning of stems as well as roots.
Jade plant is a member of the Crassulaceae family of plants that are known to thrive in warm, dry climates. Native to hot, dry rocky hillsides in South Africa and Mozambique, this plant Crassula ovata, can also adapt to a variety of habitats including cool and shady locations. Plants in this family have a particular metabolic system that allows them to photosynthesize during the day while keeping the stomata on their leaves closed to conserve water. Their succulent, water storing stems and fleshy leaves increase their drought tolerance making them ideal candidates for a xeriscape garden.
This Crassula is an attractive, slow growing evergreen shrub with stout branches that grows in a compact, rounded shape. A mature plant can reach ten feet but in most gardens it will determine less than six feet tall. The jade-green oval leaves are glossy and fleshy and range from one to three inches long and about one inch wide. When exposed to lots of sun, the leaf edges will get a lovely red tinge.
This tough plant can tolerate drought, wind and salt air. It can also survive being grazed, stepped on or being knocked over. It can root and regrow from a piece of stem or even a single leaf. Though this characteristic might classify jade plant as invasive, it has not become a pest in Hawaii.
The most common species of jade plant grown in Hawaii has the characteristic jade-green oval leaves and white flowers but several other forms are sometimes available. "Pink Beauty" has the same leaf but a pink flower. Another variety, C. arborescens 'Tricolor' is occasionally available. It is a larger specimen and has a slightly cupped, variegated leaf. A variety that has a finger-like leaf is called "Gollum." All are similar in their preferences, growth habits and methods of propagation.
Though not all jade plants will flower, those at upper elevations between 800 and 1,200 feet are currently covered in bunches of small sweet-scented white or pale pink star shaped flowers that are one inch or less in size. Our short days and cool winter weather seem to encourage flowering. Sun exposure for part of each day is essential to producing flowers, however. Following flowering small capsules develop that are filled with tiny seeds.
Propagating jade plants is quite easy. The seeds can be dried and planted in a potting mix but may take quite a while to germinate. Stem cuttings of three to five inches should be left for a week or so to dry out before potting. Pot in a medium that drains well, keep it slightly moist and the cutting should root in a few months. It should be ready to move in about three months. You can also propagate from the leaves. The leaf base also needs to dry and callous over after it is taken from the stem. Once dry, the leaves can be placed on potting soil and kept warm and moist. Roots should begin to grow within a month. Foliage will appear once the roots have formed.
The best growing medium for jade plants is one that drains well. The most common disease of this plant is root rot. It cannot tolerate sitting in wet soil for very long. The plant attracts few insects but is very intolerant of chemical pesticides. If pests appear, be sure to use low-tox organic products and test them on a few leaves before applying them to the whole plant. Mealybugs are sometimes attracted to jade plants. An easy control for these is to dab the insect with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Spraying with Safer Soap will also kill these and other sucking insects and should be safe.
Jade plants usually require little care. They can be pruned to maintain a desired shape and can be lightly fertilized seasonally to help them thrive.
Crassula ovata can be grown outdoors in rockeries, on retaining walls and in gravel-based gardens. They make attractive specimen plants and can also be used as hedging plants.
In addition to their appeal in drought tolerant gardens, jade plants do well as a container plant or a bonsai. Since they do not have deep root systems, jade plants can be grown in small shallow pots. Care should be taken, however, to keep them low so they don't become top heavy and prone to topple. Their tolerance for root and stem pruning adds to their appeal to bonsai enthusiasts and judicious pruning can help them develop an attractive thick main trunk. They can tolerate life in containers for a long time. Kept in a sunny spot and watered sparingly they can thrive for years.
Traditionally grown in square porcelain tubs with "lion feet" jade plants are thought to bring good financial luck. They are a popular good luck charm in Asia and are a traditional gift for new businesses. Many business owners place a jade plant near their entrance to bring prosperity and success.
To bring good luck to your home and garden, consider placing a jade plant prominently somewhere on your property.
