  1. Horrible, absolutely horrible.

    And yet we have still have people – like the idiotic MEP last week – saying homophobia doesn’t exist anymore.

    Make no mistake, there are many people who would wish death on every gay person.

    We need to be loud and proud and never cease campaigning for FULL equality and presence in EVERY part of society. Do not become complacent and think “oh we have a lot of rights now” – in many, many countries of the world gay people are still imprisoned, tortured – or even killed (mostly in Islamic countries). Theoretically, in the future, our rights could be taken away again much more easily than it was to get them in the first place.

    Do not become complacent. Keep on fighting.

  2. There was a lengthy segment on this appalling situation on this morning’s Today programme, Radio 4, including interviews with several gay men in Iraq, most of whom are currently extremely frightened to leave their homes! The Radio 4 report referred to one young gay man who lived in one of the most select areas of Baghdad simply going down to his local cafe recently . . . and being stabbed to death on the street . . . simply for being known to be gay.

    All of this will resonate and anger all of we gay and lesbian people in the West, but it resonates very strongly with me because I lived in a number of Middle Eastern Islamic countries for some years and I can FEEL the terror and fear that these gay people are enduring at the moment.

    In Egypt I experienced a gay situation which was akin to the secrecy of the underground and of espionage, every movement of gay men dominated by fear of detection by fellow Muslims – not just by Islamic clerics, but by Muslim people amongst whom they lived and moved . . . who might easily pick up the phone to report them at any moment.

    In Saudi Arabia, I had several Saudi gay men, mature men in their late 20s or their 30s, calling me on the phone and weeping, yes weeping, because of some awful hostility or threat they had experienced from family members.

    In Kuwait after the first Gulf War I saw, at a public exhibition that was part of the nation’s healing process, the implements of torture which Iraqis had used upon Kuwaitis whom they believed were gay – crude electrical devices which were strapped around the genitals, broken glass bottles which were forced up their arses, and much more besides.

    In Bahrain, I saw young Filipino and Indian gays being insulted and abused by straight Arab men from both Bahrain and other Arab states – either the victims complied or they were extradited back to their home countries.

    The general hatred of Islam towards gayness and lesbians is absolutely akin to the attitude of the Nazis towards the Jews, the physically and mentally handicapped, and homosexuals during WW2. Wealthy gay Muslims, gay sons or daughters of wealthy families, are often able to escape persecution, but they are the exception. For the average gay Muslim in the Middle East generally, life is intolerable.

    Live and work amongst Muslims (not in safe expat gated communities)in Middle Eastern countries and you will eventually run SCREAMING back to the West. You have to experience the fear to experience the need to escape.

    Most gay and lesbian Westerners have no idea how fortunate we are and have become. But by the same token most people have little idea of the dangers we face by allowing Islam to establish itself as a separate and growing culture within our own. The tolerant Dutch have been horrified by recent Muslim attacks upon gay men in Holland. And various posters on these threads here at PinkNews have rightly told of the homophobia that is compounded in areas this country where there are strong concentrations of Muslims.

    Anyway, our thoughts at the moment must be with our fellow gays and lesbians in Iraq. The UK and US governments have considerable influence in these two countries at the moment. What are they doing about this problem? What can we urge them to do? What are the few organised gay Muslims in this country going to do in support of their brothers and sisters in Iraq? What can we all do TOGETHER to support them?

  3. Excellent and insightful post, Eddy.

    You are, of course, absolutely correct – Islam as a religion and as a culture is extremely homophobic. Holland has indeed experienced homophobic attacks from the rising Muslim youth population. And yet here we still have some gays on the hand-wringing, well-meaning “liberal left-wing PC” lobby saying “multiculturalism is great” and campaigning against “Islamophobia”. The phrase “turkeys voting for Christmas” seems very appropriate.

    I remain convinced that the spread of Islam in the UK is the biggest threat to gay rights and will eventually be the biggest threat to gay people in this country, *IF* work is not started now to root out homophobia from these communities and make it clear to leaders/Imams that it will not be tolerated. “Religion” or “culture” must NOT be allowed to excuse hatred.

    There are further comments on this issue on the article about the homophobic attacks in East London over the last year by asian youths.

    It’s very depressing and tempting to bury our heads in the sand, but we shouldn’t. Peter Tatchell has spoken out about the issue several times and deserves our praise for this, but now other campaigners/funders need to start joining him. Before it’s too late.

  4. John L
    I have been saying for some time that the gains of LGBT people are fragile and can easily be overturned. I think too many people in Europe are taking them for granted and think that they are irreversible.

    These religious groups (all of the Abrahamics) are a great danger to gay people, mentally and physically. They only differ by degree but in general they hate gay people and would prefer them not to upset their religious beliefs, which like women, they do. And they upset them to the very core – hence the hatred for gay people.

    All I can say is: be very very vigilant because there are many powerful groups who would like to see gays down trodden and obliterated.
    Their religious “love cults” do not extend to us – far from it.

  5. Agree with all the other postings; there is some evidence of asian youths causing harrasment in Birmingham’s gay village as well. However, the situation in Iraq is a sad consiquence of going to war without an exit strategy and destabalising an entire nation and wondering why we have had kidnaps, suicide bomn=bers and now this latest craze for killing gay men!!!I hope Mr Blair and Mr Bush are reading these dreadful stories!!!

  6. James Lees 17 Aug 2009, 2:58pm

    What you are all saying is true just now – the religions are most vicious when they know most clearly that they are most wrong (think Gallileo). But we also have to remember David and Jonathan, Saints Sergius and Bacchus, Rumi and Shams, Cardinal Newman and his lover, Brother (name escapes me). Fight on, yes, and love on too.

  7. Robert, ex-pat Brit 17 Aug 2009, 3:38pm

    Now will Jacqui Smith quit denying that this isn’t happening when it comes to deportations, along with a lot of right wingers in the Tory party and their apologists who post here.

    These cults, religions are cults in my view, are the threat to LGBT rights and equality in any country. The C of E, RC cults are no better than the Islamic and other fundamentalist cults either. The former two, if they could get away with it, would like nothing better than to see us marginalized, discriminated against and dehumanized even more than we already are. These are evil organisations for the most part. Karl Marx was so right, “religion” IS the opiate of the people…the insecure and the weak-minded, most of whom are in a permanent state of paranoia. They’ve been at the root of a lot of the unrest in the world as we’re now seeing in the middle and far east. The execution of Iraqi gays is further evidence that religious cults are it again, annihilating anyone that stands in their way for control and power and subjugation of entire nations. These are dangerous, mentally sick people.

  8. Eddy, thank you for your post. Awful, yet good to be aware of these things from someone who’s seen them firsthand.

    It’s sickening what human beings will do other human beings just because they’re different.

  9. James Lees 17 Aug 2009, 5:35pm

    I’m not a Christian or Jewish or a Muslim or any of them. But i used to be a nurse and I’ve worked with nuns, known priests and monks and I’ve got more Jewish and Muslim friends than….you know.
    Violent people will be violent whatever – I don’t remember that religion-free communists were a bunch of daisies! I’ve seen a Muslim cleric in Turkey getting into extreme trouble for preaching love when his parisioners were looking for a bit of incitement. If we don’t want the men and women of violence to keep the upper hand, then we can best start by not becoming one ourselves. If we don’t keep fighting, we’ll lose. If we don’t keep loving, then what was the point in the first place?

  10. Jean-Paul Benthem 17 Aug 2009, 5:41pm

    “One gay man, “Hamid”, told HRW: “The cheapest thing in Iraq is a human being, a human life… They want us exterminated. All the violence and all this hatred: the people who are suffering from it don’t deserve it.”

    This is nothing short of nightmarish. I’ve see Geert Wilders’ DVD and I can’t imagine why it was banned from entering the UK. We need to know these things are happening now – today – to guys very much like you and me.

    EDDY: You know you would be a valuable member of our team because we do plan on becoming more informed on this issue, It would be right right up your alley, and we want to know.

    Do you know how to get in touch with me through the ‘Forum’ called ‘…crackpots…’?

    If not, let me know on the threads, persuming you are interested.

  11. Terry Floyd Johnson 17 Aug 2009, 5:52pm

    What can we do, become more security conscious; learn how to fight back, build a silent army, who will take on these milita, stop being afraid of fighting back, and learning how to control our environments with our intutive talents, skills and abilities.

    We need to become a world wide security force, and fight those who kill our gay/bi/trans friends, neigbors, etc.

    Security and defense; doesn’t mean to kill, but to stop the war against us…peace

  12. Jean-Paul Benthem 17 Aug 2009, 8:32pm

    It seems to me that getting to know one another, forming study group, brinstorming and hooking uo with Human Rights Watch would be as good a place to sart as any. Interested?

  13. Jean-Paul Benthem 17 Aug 2009, 8:33pm

    er,,,brain storming…tehee

  14. James, there is a time for love, a time for peace, a time for anger, and a time for hate. (You’ve heard the song, “To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose, under heaven”.) Right now, with regard to THIS issue, it’s time to be angry and it’s time to hate the people who are killing our brothers and sisters in Iraq. No side ever won against an oppressor by going into the fight with love in their hearts and smiles on their faces.

    Hi, Jean-Paul, will have a look at the Forum area again.

    Where’s Simon these days? Maybe he’s on holiday.

  15. Mihangel apYrs 17 Aug 2009, 10:07pm

    and to think it was safer for our brothers ans sisters under the previous regime. The US and UK went in without a plan, and are too pusilanimous to impose civilised standards.

    I do fear Islam, or at least its current expressions. There is a hateful puritanical creed running through the most vocal sectrs, and these appeal to the uneducated and tribal. Many of the people who are coming to the EU as economic migrants. While the islamification of Europe is exagerated, there is a rise of no-go areas.

    We have to be vigilant that the freedoms and rights we have are defended and implemented through the Union (ie in places like Poland) so that there can be no exceptions made for “religious” reasons,

  16. paul canning 18 Aug 2009, 2:10am

    If you want to practically help send some $$$ the way of ‘Iraqi LGBT’ http://iraqilgbtuk.blogspot.com

    They run safe houses inside Iraq as well as supporting refugees in the rest of the middle east.

    Whilst the HRW report is good news for raising the profile of the pogrom, only Iraqi LGBT is actually supporting people (saving them from murder) inside the country. But funds are scarce and they consequently have to turn people away.

    To find out more, read their annual report which is published on their website.

  17. Eagle Ashcroft 18 Aug 2009, 6:59am

    What can you expect from a bunch of uncivilized towel heads who follow after that whore monger Mohammed? Mohemmed was the biggest pimp and child molester in history and any a-shole dumb enough to follow the teaching of the assholiness coward eats sh-t for breakfast. We should have nuked the bastards. Maybe if we blew up some of their mosques and turned their Koran into toilet paper or fire starter we could rid ourselves of these sh-t heads who haven’t the brains to blow themselves to hell. I’d like to go over to Iraq with a bomber and blow up all their mosques. They are worse than the Christians. But then anyone who believes in fairy tale gods is nuts anyway and are going to be dangerous and unreasonable. What we need in this world is a world wide gay revolution to wipe out these religious a-holes once and for all.

  18. We supposedly invaded Iraq to make them free of a vile dictator and now look at the mess , the killings the torture and murder! We went into Afghnistan to secure democracy and if you see todays news its crazy; selling votes and bribes and everything that is not democratic; how did we (the British) get into theis mess? Mr Blair and Mr Bush of course!!!

  19. Steady on, Eagle! I appreciate how really angry you are, and that anger is absolutely justified . . . but the image of someone wondering around the skies of Iraq dropping “nukes” wherever there is a mosque . . . that is no rational solution.

  23. Jen Marcus 18 Aug 2009, 1:40pm

    We in the West have made a real mess of things in the Mideast since W.W.II all stemming from the unresolved issues between the Palestinians and state of Israel and until those questions are finally resolved we will continue to have problems in that part of the world. What compounds the problems are the religious and sectarian differences, rivalries, intolerance and violence between the parties not only internationally between the Mideast nations but within the borders of each respective country. Normally, I do not condone violence but we do have a right and duty to defend ourselves. Since the Allied Coalition Forces exacerbated this mess and seemingly cannot, or will not, protect and defend us and given the international warfare and sectarian violence that already exists within most of the countries in the region, I think we have no choice but to a page from Che’ Guevera’s playback and engage in guerrilla warfare against those that wish and do us harm.

    **** me!

  29. Jean-Paul Bentham 19 Aug 2009, 3:36pm

    I’ve been receiving weekly newsletters from HRW for some time. And yes, I do cry, and often I can’t sleep.

    But I wouldn’t have it any other way; I want to be informed about abuses to the Rainbow community. We are just ordinary people, for gawd’s sake; most of us are more concerned with making the world a better place than the extremist religious fanatics who are butchering us and forcing us to live in terror in the 21st Century!

  30. JP, I delight in hearing you say you wouldn’t have it any other way, that you want to be informed, that if there are horrific abused you want to read about them and if it makes you cry so be it. If only those responsible for HIV/AIDS education were not shying away from disseminating the facts.

  31. Bill Perdue 24 Aug 2009, 10:10pm

    This is hardly surprising in a country where (christer) US and English armies have spent the better part of a decade engaged in mass murder of civilians. The christian American military command deliberately provokes and arms competing sunni and shiite groups. It pits them against each other in horrific communal violence and against easy targets like catholic cultists and GLBT folks to cover their theft of oil and petroleum resources.

    Religion is just the excuse for murder and violence. Empire building and oil piracy are the direct and sole cause.

    And yes, anti-Arab islamophobes are racists.

    We should demand that the US and England adopt an open arms policy of granting open asylum and generous social services for GLBT folks from Iraq and wherever religion is used as an excuse for violence, including ‘legal’ violence, against our brothers and sisters.

  32. Eagle Ashcroft 24 Aug 2009, 10:47pm

    (quote):Whatever you do, come alone…don’t bring MIKE, or EAGLE, or that CYAMREG fellow, what’s-his-name, or any of the other great guys on this thread.

    I lost friends and relatives to these towel head bastards and if we don’t stop them they are going to take the world over like Hitler wanted to do and kill everyone that is not a Muslim or “straight,” so if anyone here wants to kiss up to these sh-t heads, you will be beheaded by these pricks should we not stop them before they take over the world. And don’t you worry your head off because I’ll not be coming to Jolly Ole England any time soon as I did my hitch for my country many long years ago and was in England during the time I was sent in behind the enemy and boarded a plane home from there. Lots of “straight” people say gays are a bunch of pansies who are afraid to fight as that is how they stereotype us which is not true. I know dozens of gay men and women that will fight if they’ve challenged or attacked. I am one of them and fought for the freedom of my country against the Red Commie bastards and my brother fought the Nazi German pricks. If you try kissing these towel head’s ass by putting your fingers in the sign of the peace symbol they will only chop your fingers off and next your head as they are a bunch of crazy religious nuts who go about blowing up innocent people and flying airplanes into skyscrapers.

Ways to get your garden off to the right start

As winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefit the garden in the months to come as well.

Late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening season. Even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot.

Clear debris

One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often filled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely won’t take long, but it’s a great first step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again.

Examine the soil

Soil plays a significant role in whether a garden thrives or struggles. Examining the soil before the season starts can help gardeners address any issues before they plant. Ignoring the soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost opportunity, so test the soil to determine if it has any nutrient or mineral deficiencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season.

Another way to examine the soil is less complex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work.

Initiate edging

Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and flower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a flat blade or an edger designed to edge flower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the flower bed are severed. Depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a time-consuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing.

Fight weeds

Though weeds likely have not survived the winter, that does not mean they won’t return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent them from turning beautiful gardens into battlegrounds where plants, flowers and vegetables are pitted against unsightly and potentially harmful weeds. Spring is a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed preventer, which can stop weeds before they grow. Though such solutions are not always foolproof, they can drastically reduce the likelihood of weed growth.

Though gardeners might not be able to start planting their gardens in late winter or early spring, they can still get outside and take steps to ensure their gardens thrive once planting season begins.

First Thermal Plate Tests at Tech Alert ’98

PITTSBURGH—Attendees here at the recent fifth annual Tech Alert conference, sponsored by the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF), witnessed the first detailed study comparing CTP-exposed thermal plates.

GATF designed a special digital test image for this test. The image contained vignettes and gray backgrounds to show anomalies such as banding, streaks and inconsistent imaging.

There was no real difference among any plates in dot imaging consistency. The Kodak DITP, Fuji LH-P and Fuji LH-N plates had the broadest highlight to shadow dot range of 0.5 percent to 98 percent on the printed samples. The difference among the remaining plates was not appreciable. These same three plates exhibited the strongest line resolution of the printed samples as well.

The unexpected result of the study was that, from plate to print, most plates exhibited sharpening (dot loss) rather than dot gain.

Consultant Curt Thormodsgaard, who has had extensive personal experience testing such CTP and thermal plates, commented that “it’s next to impossible to match old printing with thermal plates. Best results come from generating new tone curves.”

Frank Gualtieri, GATF’s director of technical services and one of the thermal study team members, added: “Ink key zones must be assured of working properly because thermal plates are not providing dot gains.”

George Leyda, a GATF research fellow, remarked that he felt “there were no losers (among the plates tested).”

Eight thermal plate manufacturers submitted a total of 11 different plates to GATF for its first study in comparing various print-related characteristics. The detailed report is expected to be published in mid-March.

Attendees at the conference were in agreement that thermal plates offer the highest resolution of the currently available digital plates. The fact that almost every manufacturer is offering thermal upgrades to their platesetters further reinforced the common presumption here.

Computerized press makeready, computer-integrated manufacturing and a discussion of the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) were also part of the two-day agenda.

  • Chiefs pitcher Scanio to DL with broken wrist; Cards send Polanco

    • email print
  • PEORIA -- The Peoria Chiefs lost reliever Joe Scanio to a serious injury, and gained a player from extended spring training on Monday to take his place in the first two moves of the 2014 season for the Midwest League team.
    Scanio suffered a non-baseball injury over the weekend, breaking his left wrist. The Chiefs put him on the DL and say the righty will need surgery, and he is expected to be shelved indefinitely.
    Scanio was 2-1 with a 3.85 ERA and one save in six appearances this season.
    The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Scanio, 24, was in his second season with the Chiefs.
    The Cardinals promoted right-handed pitcher Jhonny Polanco to Peoria from extended spring training. He was scheduled to join the Chiefs on Monday -- on his birthday -- as they began a road trip at Beloit.
    Polanco was 2-1 with a 5.09 ERA in 17 2/3 innings last season with Peoria, and eventually went to short-season State College, where he posted a 2.63 ERA in 37 2/3 innings.
    The Cardinals signed the Nicaragua native as a free agent in 2009.

Soil Health

Experienced growers know that a beautiful, sustainable garden starts with living, healthy soil. Most plants thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic, soils that are rich in organic matter. The challenge, however, is that most of the world’s soils do not exist this way and they must be balanced, or amended, to provide the conditions necessary for robust plant growth. Click on the information and news below to learn about soil health and what can be done to improve it.

Patience When Planting Peas: The Payoff

Pea PlantsWait for the right soil temperatures and conditions before planting snap peas.

This time of year we’re thinking peas. Peas are always the first thing to go in our garden and the common wisdom — “plant as soon as the soil can be worked” — is our cue to get into the garden as soon as the soil dries enough that it doesn’t ball up when squeezed in our fists. Peas are also a cool weather crop, doing best in spring and early summer but also planted in late summer-early fall in places where winter doesn’t jump the shark as soon as October comes around.

Not only great eating — we were all about serving curls of fresh pea shoots in salads before it became popular in gourmet, farm-to-table restaurants — peas serve another purpose that promotes well-being in gardeners. They give us something to do in the weeks (and months ) ahead of when the rest of the garden goes in.

If you’re like me, you’re chomping at the bit once March rolls around and garden season is imminent. It’s like waiting for Christmas when you’re a kid. Sometimes you just can’t keep your hands off the presents even before the big day. (more…)

Agricultural Water Use and the California Drought

Agricultural Water100 billion gallons of water, in the form of alfalfa, shipped to China. How can we use less water to grow the produce needed in this country?

Here’s one effect of the drought in California and elsewhere: there’s been a lot of fascinating reporting on water use in commercial agriculture. And the amounts of water that go into some crops, and where those crops are headed, has created something of a controversy.

It comes as no surprise that much of the produce grown in the United States comes from California. Some 95% of all the broccoli, 92% of all the strawberries, 90% of all the tomatoes, and 99% of all the almonds grown in this country come from California. (more…)

Springtime Soil Testing

Soil TestingMaking sure your garden soil has the proper pH and amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium now helps guarantee growing success.

We often talk about the fact that successful gardening, especially successful organic gardening, requires healthy soil. But how do you know if your soil is healthy? Adding lots of organic material helps assure that your soil is alive with microbes, maintains a balance of nutrients, and has good drainage. But what about its acid-alkaline balance (the measurement known as pH)? What about the nutrients that plants need to be healthy and resist pests and diseases? (more…)

Wide Row and Intensive Gardening

Intensive GardensGetting the most from your vegetable garden while saving space, water and work.

I give my grandfather a lot of credit when it comes to teaching me the craft of gardening. But he wasn’t right about everything. Or, at least, not all of his techniques were the most productive. Like grandfather demonstrated year in and year out, I started off planting vegetables in neat-lined rows, one plant following the other. I did this for everything: carrots, beets, lettuce, corn, even squash and pumpkins. It was just the way he did it and always had.

Circumstance eventually changed my thinking. Given a tiny front yard, I began spacing plants together in enclosed, raised beds. As long as I could reach the center of the beds, everything was fine. (more…)

Facing Drought

Drought in the GardenWhat should gardeners do in the face of water shortages?

We don’t have to tell you. The news from many parts of the west is all about drought. You can find accounts of what’s being faced, including the potential for cutbacks and rationing, here, here, and here. And the forecast for the coming months doesn’t look good.

No matter if you believe that drought is just a part of the natural cycle (it is) or is a product of global warming (we don’t see this as an easy either-or question but think both factors could be in play), dealing with a lack of or more expensive water is something that gardeners frequently face. Even as a back-to-the-land, ex-hippie in the 19(garbled) living on the edge of the rain forest in Washington State we had summer months without rain some years that meant the buried reservoir that collected water from our spring filled more slowly and even ran dry when we watered our rather large garden. That’s the problem with water: you run out just when you need it most. (more…)

Preventing, Curing Gray Snow Mold

Lawn DiseaseHow to keep lawns exposed to wet springs and slow-melting snow from falling to disease.

The vagaries of climate variation across the country this winter suggests that we might be seeing the dreaded gray snow mold surface in lawns where it hasn’t been seen before. Those of us familiar with late snow covers, cold, damp springs, and other conditions favorable to lawn diseases are well familiar with this problem.

Gray snow mold is a common problem in areas where snow cover persists into the spring as temperatures warm. It shows itself in circular or irregularly shaped gray or brown spots in the lawn that can range from an inch or two across to over a foot or more. Fuzzy gray strings, known as mycelia, may stretch across and out from the area, especially as the snow melts away. (more…)

Cover Crops? Smother Crops!

Alfalfa CropPlanting green manures to manage weeds eliminates the need for risky herbicides.

Organic gardeners know the value of sowing cover crops. Often referred to as “green manure,” cover crops are thought most valuable for what they return to the soil. Protecting the soil from hard rains, wind erosion, and other effects is seen as a side benefit. And, too, a cover crop discourages weeds, by crowding them out or inhibiting their growth.

Sometimes, cover crops are planted primarily to control weeds. Planted with this purpose in mind, cover crops become smother crops. They work best when dealing with perennial weeds but can also help starve out annuals when used over consecutive seasons. And they can be as effective (or more) on some of the worst perennial weeds. Let me tell you a story. (more…)

Crop Rotation for Vegetable Gardens

Rotating Garden CropsRotate crops to control disease, weeds, and pests while boosting soil quality.

We’ve all heard of the benefits of crop rotation in large scale agriculture. And we all know that those benefits can transfer to our home vegetable gardens. Even the smallest of gardens can benefit from crop rotation, even if crops are only moved a few feet each year. Crop rotation is especially important to the organic grower because it precludes many of the problems that lead to the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides.

Exactly what are the benefits? Rotating crops is especially critical to preventing disease from getting a foot hold on certain vegetables you might plant. The bacteria and spores that attack specific plants can survive winters and infect those plants again the following year. (more…)

Arctic Vortex Gardening

Winter Soil ProtectionProtecting garden soil and starting seed outdoors in the dead of winter.

The harsh weather much of the country is experiencing means something to our gardens. Ground will freeze where it seldom freezes. Snow will visit places it seldom sees. Those familiar with snow and cold are seeing more of it.

What does this mean for our gardens? Bare soil frozen at extremely cold temperatures is subject to frost heave. Microorganisms, worms, and other living components of our earth are lost as they retreat as deeply as they can.

Mulching before the the cold weather sets in will moderate ground temperatures and protect soil. A good snow cover also helps. When the forecast is set for extreme cold, it might be a good idea to add more mulch – you’re mulching your garden, right? (more…)

Gardener’s New Year Resolutions

New Year ResolutionsGardening practice, like the garden itself, can always be improved. We resolve to do more, do better.

I’ve always liked the idea of New Year’s resolutions even if I wasn’t completely successful in keeping them. I can get behind the idea of taking stock of where you are, what you need to change; all with an eye to improvement or the realization of a goal or two. It’s good medicine.

Gardeners have more opportunity at this than most. Sure, everyone at least considers turning over a new leaf at the beginning of the year. But gardeners consider these resolve-to-make-it-better ideas when they plant in the spring, put the garden to bed in the fall, and all winter long as they peruse seed catalogs, read old gardening journals, and draw schematics that show exactly where the tomatoes will go. They’re always resolving to do something. (more…)

Opinions needed for wood options
1 Attachment(s)
A wood carver at my work gave me this manzanita burl. At first my plan was to cover it with flame moss but I kinda like looks of it. The second idea i had was to grow some anubis nana petite on it. Open to suggestions and opinions. Thanks

Merth 01-07-2013 02:02 AM

definitely anubis

Diana 01-09-2013 02:13 AM

I also would aim not to totally cover and hide it, but to show it off.

plantbrain 01-09-2013 03:31 AM

Saw it in 1/2 and then you have 2 nice pieces with a nice flat surface to mount it.

bluestems 01-09-2013 04:31 AM

That's a gorgeous piece. I can understand why you don't want to cover it. Why cover it at all? Maybe have some dense stem plantings in behind it and to the left side, with a low ground cover in front and coming around to the right side? If you have shrimp or loaches, they would love the little cave.

DemonUnleashed 01-12-2013 12:19 AM

I like the idea of cutting it in half once i get a larger tank. Right now I'm working with a 25 gallon. I think I'm gonna leave the wood exposed and find another place to use the flame moss I received.

veryzer 01-12-2013 02:22 AM

I have a gorgeous piece of driftwood, a 20" circle with a big hole in the middle. I've placed anubias in that hole but now want to get rid of it so as to highlight the actual wood. YMMV but I'm starting to believe that wood is best served for contrast.

amajoh 01-12-2013 03:47 AM

I agree that if you're going to grow something on it, you should go with the anubis.

Default WTS Locally - 46G bow

Hi Everyone,

Anyone would be interested in a 46g bowfront tank? I really need it gone so all reasonable offers welcome.

It has been running up until recently for 3 yrs with no issues. I just don't have time to keep up with the water changes and general maintenance of the tank so I need to get rid of it from my parent's home.

What's included with the setup
46g bowfront tank + matching wooden stand
glass canopy
coralife light
Aquaclear 70 filter

The tank holds water fine. Also to note, the centerbrace (back-center) is cracked and has been the last year or so. I've read that it's a common issue and reef guys sometimes even replace and reinforce the brace with plexi. I think over time, the support was giving from the glass canopy.

Thank you guys for looking. Please feel free to PM me if you're interested.

Rummikub Games

There are basically three different Rummikub games to play with the Rummikub set. Many online Rummikub rooms has these three games for all Rummikub players. Hands  Rummikub

Play online Rummy

Download Rummikub game

The Hand Rummikub games are all played closed. You show your tiles when you declare Rummikub and you must not meld at all. The winning points are valued between 400 and 2500 points, when the amount of Jokers in your melds counts who won the Rummikub round and who lost it. Since there are more than 35 combination to win the Hands Rummikub game, the winner is the player with the highest valued tiles. For example, if you have all your cards into sets and runs and you used no Jokers, you can get 800 points. Same hand with one Joker will get 600 points and same hand of another opponent, using two Jokers, will get 400 points.

Open Rummikub

The Open Rummikub version is very similar to all American versions of Rummikub, but its not have the melding option. Other Rummikub games, offline and online are giving you the choice to meld your tiles during the game. In the Open Rummikub you must have 50 points before you make your first meld and you always can pick the discard tile from your opponent discards pile. The only time you can not do that, is when you have your last tile in your hand.

While playing Open Rummikub, you must announce when you have three tiles left and when you have your last tile left. These announcements bring more excitement into the Rummikub game, because your Rummikub opponents know that you are close to win the Rummikub game.

Foot Rummikub

While playing Foot Rummikub, you do not have the option to meld at all. You must arrange all your tiles in your hands and expose them when you are done. The game is closed and you can not meld tiles into existing melds on the table. At the end of the game, if you think you won the Rummikub game, you just declare Rummikub- and show your tiles to your opponents.

Winning Foot Rummikub is when you melded all your cards into sets and runs, you must have one run minimum, and the sum of your tiles must be 50 or more. At the end of each round, you must show your 14 tiles to your opponents, even is you didn’t won. Some Rummikub players like to have the option to meld the tiles on the table during the game, this version have got the name- Open Foot Rummicube

Final Fantasy X PS3/Vita is Not a Remake, HD Upgrade Only

February 5, 2012 Written by Heath Hindman

There has been all kinds of speculation about the extent to which Final Fantasy X will be updated for its Vita and PS3 version. At the release party for Final Fantasy XIII-2 in Taipei, Taiwanese website GNN Gamer got an answer from Shinji Hashimoto.

When asked “So is it a remake or an HD remaster,” Hashimoto called the game an “HD Remaster,” meaning more of a visually enhanced port than a full-on remake. What does still seem to be up in the air, however, is whether this is the basic version of the game or the international version. Final Fantasy X International included optional boss fights and an “Expert” mode, which placed characters on Sphere Grids that had less upgrade nodes than the original mode of play. Moreover, all characters started at the same point and could be evolved as the player saw fit. In Japan, this version also came packed with a story video almost 15 minutes long that helped fill the player in on the events between FFX and X-2. This version was released in Japan and PAL territories, but never North America.

While we’re not yet sure which version it is or when it will be released, there’s little question that the HD upgrade and portability will be big selling factors for the new versions of Final Fantasy X.

Everyday's Pain - Poem by Fareez Nasir

In a room behind closed doors
My trembling hand reached for the blade
My sentimental mind can take no more
On the bed in solitude was where I laid

The devil whispered in my ears
As I slowly pulled up my sleeve
Revealing scars that show so much pain
That a helpless soul have to deal with

The scars are stories written in blood
And I was about to continue the script
Willingly I let the knife caress my skin
In horrid silence you can hear the red drip

And it's like every drop carried pain away
Leaving my body so I can have peace
Leave me alone in my room but
It'll last only until tomorrow at least

Poet's Notes about The Poem

I do not encourage cutting as a way to deal with stress. The last stanza is trying to tell that it doesn't take away pain permanently.

Today... 'The Almighty' - Poem by Roy Allen

Petrified in the boat they were panicking
as the waves of the sea came cascading in.
Then Lord You rose and commanded the sea
'Be still, ' You said with great authority.

'What manner of man is this' they cried
amazed as they saw the wind and sea subside.
The storm was quelled and the wind did cease
The Almighty obeyed, they were left in peace.

Mightier than the raging and tempestuous sea.
Mightier than the clashing thunderstorm is He.
The Almighty One is The Sovereign Lord.
and wind and wave have to obey His word.

You were there Almighty God before life began
as the creator of heaven, of earth and man.
The Alpha and Omega Whose work is done.
The Son of God and the Almighty One.

(additional background information is provided in the Poem's story box below)

Poet's Notes about The Poem

Revelation 1: 8
'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, ' says the Lord, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.'

All quotations ©NIV

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting
an aspect of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Almighty'

Life is Knocking

Life is knocking at the door,
But don't be too quick to answer.
Yet neither should you move too slow,
Or it may pass you by.

To open the door is to invite life in,
Not to visit, but to dwell.
For life is not a passing thing,
Unless you move too slow.

So if you wake one morning to go and do,
But find that you cannot,
Then life has probably passed you by.
So hurry up and answer.

More Agony

My friend I want you to know
 That happy for you I am
As before the coming snow
 You will have a baby in a pram.

Your shower today was nice
 I thought I could handle it.
But my heart is not ice
 For jeaousy I feel this I admit.

I feel like a loon
 My babies gone
No lullabies to croon
 No being woke at dawn.

I thought I could handle this
 Be here for my dear friend
But there is gaping abyss
 And I do not want to offend.

This your day to shine
 And do well to not frown
And to not even let out a whine
 Though in sorrow I drown.

I leave the shower
 My wounds to lick.
In my own space cower
 Pain in my heart does stick.

I am now alone
 I lay here and cry.
In agony I moan
 And in misery I sigh.

I really am a lousy friend.
 For how can I feel sad?
How can I make amends
 and tell you why I am bad?

No more baby showers for me
 I cannot do this
To much pain for this to be
 For me there is no bliss.

My arms do so ache
 For the babies that are mine.
How much more pain can I take?
 How much longer will I pine?

Can anyone understand
 What I truly am?
A mother in no man's land
 Whose tears have broke the dam.

A mother who misses
 Her children each day.
I miss thier kisses,
 Their bedlam and fun way.

Why can I not heal?
 Why must agony sear
And my fate and theirs seal
 For this I do fear.

I thought I was doing good
 But as you can see
This pain gets me where I stood
 And still gets the best of me.

Meet the "Voices from Japan" Visiting Poets
Date and Time:
June 16, 2012 - 3:30PM to 5:30PM
Event Location:
Kray Hall
Free and Open to the Public

Distinguished scholar Haruo Shirane, Shincho Professor of Japanese Literature and Culture at Columbia University, will moderate a panel discussion with two survivors of the March 11, 2011 earthquake in Japan, about their tanka poems written in response to the earthquake and its aftermath. Their poems form part of the exhibition, “Voices of Japan,” at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine which opens June 14.

The tanka form has a long tradition in Japan, where it has been used to express deep emotions by people of all segments of society, from the emperor to soldiers and farmers. Poetry, especially tanka, continue to be an intrinsic part of Japanese cultural life, and thousands of tanka and haiku are submitted to local and national newspapers for publication in weekly full-page poetry sections.

Connie & Michael, Married 7/2013

"Peas and carrots"
I had been looking for the yin to my yang. I had dated like a banshee, and was losing hope of ever finding my true sweetheart. Michael had been divorced for several years after a long marriage. I almost cancelled our 1st date, I had been working alot and was exhausted. I am so glad I didn't. We met for drinks at Matador in W.Seattle, we were really hitting it off, especially when he mentioned that he was excited about some buffalo mozzerella he found earlier at Costco. I'm a foodie. He's a foodie. It was kismet and 3 hours later; a great 1st date! He whispered in my ear at the end of the date that "he couldn't wait to see me again", and we said good-bye. He texted me the next morning to thank me for a lovely night, I was giddy! I didn't hear anything after that from him for another day, but knew we had really hit it off, so I didn't think too much of it. He called me 2 days later, and I was so excited to talk with him! He told me that he'd been texting me for the last 2 days, but that I wasn't returning the texts-my phone, my darn phone was on the fritz! Needless to say, he didn't over-analyze my non texting for anything, and we've been together ever since. We got engaged in March of this year, and are getting married on July 20, 2013.

Looking for a girl worth the time :/ so many game players out there. Sigh. Hanging out is fine, no need for anything formal. Can't people just hang out and play a video game or see a movie or go to a haunted trail this time of year and see if chemistry happens?! That sounds fun! Right?

I'm real. Looking for a girl that is the same.

I'm not full of shit, looking for the same.

I'm fun! Looking for a girl who is the same.

:D !

If this is you, and you are interested, don't be afraid to say what's up.

Have a nice day.

First Date
Okay here is our night:

I'll start by having a limo pick you up, a really nice one with comfy seats to impress you, then head out to our 5 star restaurant for dinner, which hopefully you'll be paying for...we can ask each other things like, "what music do you like?!" and, "what's your favorite quality in someone?!" Then the helicopter will probably be ready to pick us up to head down the coast for a nice long walk on the beach...after an incredibly amazing moonlit conversation, the chopper will be about ready to take us back to your parent's house so I can hopefully meet them!

Seriously though, have a drink, have fun, etc.

Conservatory of Performing Arts

Point Park Alumna Has Role in 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Tuesday, August 07, 2012

Actress Daina Michelle Griffith, a 2003 graduate of Point Park University’s B.F.A. in musical theatre program, landed a role in The Dark Knight Rises, one of the most anticipated films of 2012. Griffith, a native of Fairfield, Ohio, plays Mrs. Foley, the wife of Gotham City Police Department Deputy Commissioner Peter Foley.

Daina Michelle Griffith is a 2003 graduate of Point Park's B.F.A. in musical theatre program.

"I'm a huge Batman fan, so being a part of this film is mind-blowing," said Griffith. "It still hasn't sunk in yet ... I'm not sure that it ever will."

Griffith credited much of her successful professional career to the education and training she received at Point Park.

“The Conservatory of Performing Arts program provided a safe, artistic outlet that allowed me the opportunity to create and take risks. I trained with professional artists, and discovered that I was actually capable of being an actress when performing in conservatory shows," she said.

Griffith has acted on the stages of several local theaters: City Theatre, Pittsburgh Public Theatre, Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre, Quantum Theatre, Pittsburgh CLO and The REP, Point Park University's professional theatre company.

The actress said her best advice for students considering a career in the arts is to practice patience and maintain focus.

"You have to be strong enough to be knocked down repeatedly, and have the ability to get back up and try again.

The dream that lead me to Pittsburgh and eventually to The Dark Knight Rises."

I was thinking maybe it would be cool to have non pokemon related romhack on a pokemon game engine, perhaps a naruto theme? Each player can learn 4 different jutsu's either attacking ones or defensive ones. Instead of having ability you could have bloodlines such as sharigan...
It would be like pokemon becoming the best trainer, becoming the best ninja or hokage.

It's just an idea so i thought i'de post it here.

Granted that he doesn't change costumes right now, if they do something like this, you'd probably see it hinted at in future trailers.

With 3D models it's certainly easier for them to do 3D models for every costume and even do DLC. Will they? I'd love it, but right now I doubt it.

Short sentences with sudden, dramatic turning events:
"He thought it was gone. That it would never haunt him again.
Suddenly he heard a noise, deep beneath the metal containers covered in dust and debris blocking the horrendous port into the basement.
It wasn't gone.
It was still there."

Make it as visual as possible.
Be as descriptive as possible.
Make it interesting to yourself most importantly, let your imagination flow and write down your thoughts. It all comes down to your style of writing and mine certainly doesn't suit everyone. With great diligence comes great results, anyone can write

Hope you like it. :3

I'm sorry if it ain't upto your standards, Loki. I know I suck! ;___; i could only make the colors a bit more fleshed out. wish I could've done similar to the monet avi I had once - the one you complimented. but the stock just didn't let me do much. or it is probably my inability as a gfx artist. TTwTT

Yours will be done soon, Loki and Tackle. ;D

A fan from the original era?!?! :O This is completely unheard of! Ahaha, but it's good to see that even people from the beginning can all come together in one place. :D I hope you enjoy yourself here as much as I do!

Hey, Oniguard!

Welcome to PC!

That's quite cool that you've been playing the series for a long time now! I have, too, and really, it's difficult to let go of the series even if you want to. :p Have you played through all the games yourself?

Yeah, you should definitely read the rules to help you get started on what is allowed/not allowed on the forums. xD & btw, if you're interested in trading, PC has its own trading corner forum to satisfy all your trading needs! You should check it out if you haven't done so already.

Anyways, hope to see you around!

If you need anything or would just like to chat, don't hesitate to leave a visitor message on my profile!
