Does it only exist as an outlet for some people to express their vitriolic and hyperbolic feelings?
I mean, I rarely see a legitimate point being made, and I rarely read a novel, workable, original, or meaningful point or post. Mostly of what I read is just an expression of frustration, hate, distortion, or something similar. Some of it is borderline bigoted/racist/xenophobic, and most of it is so incredibly inane, ridiculous, misleading, untrue, and/or offensive it's sickening.
Here's a challenge - post something original, productive, intellectual, or don't post anything at all. Because this forum makes me sick to share a country with some of you. And it's a pathetic reflection on this fine website and messageboard.
Before answering anything, tell me where in the US you live.
Well Anchorless, why don't you tell us where you live before you go barking orders at everyone - it appears whatever utopia you live in the illegals haven't reached it yet.
What is the point of you posting here if your delicate self is offended?
The only point I can think of, is a place to focus all of the intense revulsion and antipathy, and not have it spread throughout the other forums.
Nothing constructive comes from this forum, CD should just delete it.
I live in CA, and don't agree with the hate movement going on in here.
Well then to all the NIMBYs I would say if you don't play the game, you don't get to make the rules.
You are welcome to request that the moderarors remove your access to this part of CD.
So you are saying that if we happen to live in a state that isn't overrun by illegals then we don't ge to comment on you complaining about how bad the influx of immigrants has become in your backyard and how bad you want them out?
Who are the NIMBYs here?
I mean, what do y'all hope to accomplish? It's a gaggle of people who reassure each others' frustrations and emotions and see who can be the loudest and most obscene.
I would hope this forum could engage in more meaningful debate rather than being a soundboard for the same tired rhetoric. And the responses this particular thread has received is strong evidence that this probably won't be the case.

Herban Planet, LLC Nov 13, 2017 Welcome back to Cannabis 101! Today, we're going to talk about cannabis strains, and the two very important terms that we use to differentiate between them: Indica and Sativa. What are the properties of each and why do we use them?
There is always that one strain out there that will blow your mind once you've tried it. Now, there are different marijuana strains and none of them are the same. They might have some of the same properties, tasting notes, or effects but none of them will have all the same building blocks. All strains will differ in at least one of the following building blocks color, taste, smell, feel and effect. Based on this, most regular marijuana users will look for a strain that will give him/her the best overall effect. It is important to note that there are different factors that contribute to these categories and to know that even the same strains can vary. The factors that make up these properties are the genetics of the strain, the environment where it is planted, and lastly the evolution of the cannabis strains.
Any agricultural researcher will confirm the fact that plant's genetics and the environment in which it is planted defines its properties. Furthermore, there are various variables that will also contribute to the strain genetics, which include the soil type, the amount of light the strain is exposed to, the angle from which the light hits the plant, the distance of the plant to the source of light, and also the time of harvesting the strain. Another factor in cannabis cultivation is ability to cultivate cannabis indoors. This transition, in the 80`s, led to hybridization of many strains. This in turn led to a new larger pool of strains to choose from. This helped give people a better ability to find the perfect strain for their needs.
There are three main types of cannabis strains indica, sativa and hybrids. The hybrid strain is any cross-combination of the sativa and indica strains. The hybrid strains were conceived to enable cultivators an easier and more effective way of branding their products. There is a fourth not-so-common strain called ruderalis. This strain is typically not used in todays major markets.
This is the most common strain within the cannabis genus and has been cultivated for a very long time throughout history. It has been used for industrial purposes, as food, recreational medicine and it has even used in spiritual settings. This strain has global footprints being used for various purposes within different cultures. Originally, the sativa strain is believed to have come from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia. These warm weather regions are much more favorable the sativa plant growth. Sativa typically gives the user a much vibrant euphoria allowing the user to be much more active.
This commonly used strain is believed to have originated in the Hindu Kush Mountains spanning across Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is also cultivated in Morocco and other parts of the subcontinent. The name indica derives from its discovery in the Indian subcontinent. The indica strain is shorter than the sativa strain. Indica strains are more sedating and relaxing whereas the sativa strains are more uplifting and result in more energy and creativity.
This is the least commonly used strain in today's market. Jorge Cervantes, The Cannabis Encyclopedia author, states "Botanists disagree as to whether c. ruderalis qualifies as a separate species or subspecies." It is more enduring to the harsh environmental conditions than the sativa and indica strains. Ruderalis is native, most specifically, to Russia as well as Asia and Eastern/Central Europe. Despite being described as a wild species, it is becoming more commonly found in indoor grows being used in the development of new hybrid strains. Ruderalis strains have a naturally lower THC levels.
When the indica, sativa or ruderalis strains are crossbred in combination a hybrid is created. Hybrids are typically a combination of the best qualities of the strains being used. In general, a hybrid will have a dominant strain that closely relates to the dominant effect of that strain. So, hybrids can come in many different effect modes. The best option for the user is to do some research or consult their budtender.


The following is a script from "Resignation" which aired on Oct. 21, 2012. Anderson Cooper is the correspondent. Andy Court, producer.
Many of us have, at some point in our lives, dreamed of quitting our jobs very loudly and telling our bosses exactly what we really think. Very few of us ever do it. But seven months ago, a vice president at the legendary investment bank Goldman Sachs did just that, resigning in an article on the op-ed page of The New York Times. The article caused a sensation — not just because its author Greg Smith was saying, three-and-a-half years after the financial crisis, that the bank was headed on the wrong ethical course, but also because it's so unusual to learn anything at all about the inner workings of Goldman Sachs.
When people leave Goldman, they tend to do it quietly. Though the firm's gold-plated reputation took a big hit after the 2008 financial crisis, it's still regarded as the smartest, most profitable and politically well-connected firm on Wall Street, and the toughest place to get a job. Now, on the eve of publishing a book about his experiences at Goldman, Greg Smith is talking for the first time about what led him to leave the firm, and to do it in such a public way.
Greg Smith: I literally wanted to hit the board of directors over the head, and say, Listen, I was proud of Goldman Sachs. I worked here for a long time.
Anderson Cooper: So an op-ed resignation, you hoped it would be a wake up call?
Greg Smith: I really did. Because there are a lotta people who acknowledge things internally. But no one is willing to say it publicly. And my view was the only way, you force people to change the system, is by saying something publicly.
Greg Smith: You know, this might be hard for people at Goldman Sachs to understand, but I loved the place. I put a lot of my heart and soul into it. I don't view it as a betrayal. I actually think the leaders of Goldman Sachs today don't have the long run interests of the institution at heart.
Anderson Cooper: Did anybody within the firm know you were going to be leaving?
Anderson Cooper: So, the first time many people within Goldman Sachs learned you were leaving was when they opened up The New York Times and saw this op-ed.
Greg Smith: Yeah, I mean the idea of the op-ed was not to do any destruction.
Anderson Cooper: I think some people are– just aren't going to believe that, that– to not give notice to a company you've worked for for 12 years, and in the most public way possible in the page of The New York Times, to say that they are going against all the values that they once held, how can that not be seen by– as a betrayal?
Greg Smith: Well, it's true. I mean, I think the company is going against the values it once held.

Robert Dan (Bobby) Skorich, 62, passed away on November 30 after a courageous struggle with pneumonia. Bobby had a sweet soul with a loving disposition and a ready smile. In his youth he overcame many challenges resulting from Down's Syndrome. With the strong encouragement and support of his proactive mother, Margaret, he actively participated in the Special Olympics and many other programs for the handicapped. He even managed to earn a special GED. He also worked for a time at Opportunity Workshop and at the high school as a janitor.
Bobby loved music and learned to play the guitar - at least good enough to recognize his favorite tunes. His CD collection was enviable! He had an uncanny memory for numbers, especially dates, and would often send birthday cards to family members - sometimes with a dollar in it, even though he had few to spare. As he became more developmentally disabled, he moved into Maple View home, where he was cared for by loving staff who considered him one of their favorites.
Bobby is survived by his sister Mana Holtz of Naples, Florida; nephews Cade (LauraLee) Raukar of Hibbing and Aaron (Erin) Raukar of Crystal; nieces Lindsay (Dan) Lerick of Hibbing and Carri Priley (Paul Hagberg) of St. Paul; grand nephews Drew Raukar, and Henry, Charlie and Milo Lerick; and grand nieces Alli Raukar and Hazel Raukar. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Cremation has been entrusted to Dougherty Funeral Home. The family will hold a small graveside gathering at Maple Hill Cemetery at a later date.


Today we launch the second Cardano testnet, which is for the IELE virtual machine (VM) and follows our recent launch of the KEVM testnet. The technology is not only an important step on the Cardano roadmap, but also for the industry – in offering robust and reliable financial infrastructure. Developers now have the opportunity to explore the smart contracts technology that will be offered as part of Cardano, and to give us their feedback, which we look forward to receiving over the coming months.
In many business processes that involve the exchange of value (including money, property or shares) intermediaries are involved in checking that the terms of the agreements are complete and unambiguous as well as satisfied before the exchange can take place. These intermediaries add to the cost of a transaction. The technology of smart contracts (also known as self-executing contracts or blockchain contracts) has emerged as a way of addressing the need for this verification by reducing the time, third-party involvement, and cost of reliably executing an agreement.
Smart contracts are software programs that are immutably stored on the blockchain. They are executed by virtual machines and store their data in that same immutable infrastructure. Smart contracts offer great benefits to businesses looking to optimize their operations. Many industries – including automotive, supply chain, real estate and healthcare – are investing in research to understand how this technology can make them more competitive.
What smart contracts technology is currently available?
There are a few players on the market that offer smart contract capabilities including Hyperledger, NEO and Ethereum. The technology is evolving to meet the market's demand for platforms that are fast, secure, accurate and can be trusted. Many businesses have tried to deploy broad-scale applications on these platforms and have run into problems (DAO hack, Parity bug and POWH coin to name a few) with these evolving platforms. Despite widespread publicity the most serious bugs continue to reappear in smart contracts. There is a lot of room for innovation here and IOHK is working hard to become a leader in this technology.
IELE (pronounced YELL-eh) is a virtual machine, with an attendant low-level language, designed to execute smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain. It has been developed by Runtime Verification in partnership with IOHK, which provided funding for the project. The word IELE refers to nymphs in Romanian mythology.
How does IELE improve on smart contracts platforms?
Serving as a uniform, lower-level platform for translating and executing smart contracts from higher-level languages. It supports compilation from Solidity and many more languages are set to come.
Providing a uniform gas model, across all languages.
Making it easier to write secure smart contracts. IELE is 'correct by construction' so many errors discovered after the fact (during code execution) in other VMs are not possible in IELE.
Using a register-based as opposed to stack-based architecture.
What can I do with IELE that I could not do before?
IELE contains two parts: a correct-by-construction VM designed using the K framework, and a correct by construction, Solidity-to-IELE compiler, also designed using the K framework. When you write your Solidity program and try to compile it using the Solidity-to-IELE compiler, it will catch many of the errors that previously would have been missed and that have caused many smart contracts to fail or be exploited.
The IELE language and its VM are completed. It is now in the process of being integrated into Cardano, which will provide a blockchain to store and retrieve data. While the integration is taking place, developers have the opportunity to use the IELE VM along with the Mallet and Remix tools to create and execute smart contracts on the IOHK testnet site.
You can also start getting a feel for the capabilities of both IELE and its VM – and even learn to write IELE code directly!

Ogmund Crouchdance (Old Norse Ǫgmund Krøkidans) was a lendmann - a Norwegian noble in the 13th century and Sysselman (Governor) of Orkdal under the kings Håkon IV of Norway and Magnus VI of Norway. His nickname Crouchdance is probably derived from the name of a Norwegian medieval dance.

Ogmund was one of King Håkon IV's most loyal lendmenn. He fought at King Håkon's side during the rebellion of duke Skule Bårdsson in May 1240.  Skule was defeated by King Haakon and his supporters and with the death of  Skule, the civil war era in Norway came to an end.

Ogmund was also a leader of a contingent of the Norwegian forces who ravaged Halland in 1256. In 1261 he was one of the leaders of the Norwegian delegation who took princess Ingebjørg Eiriksdotter, the daughter of Eric IV of Denmark, out of the convent in Horsens (dominikanerkloster ved Horsens) to bring her to Norway as the bride of the king's son, Magnus Håkonsson.

In 1263, King  Håkon armed a great force and traveled to the land of Scotland, to protect the Hebrides, which had been under attack from  King Alexander III of Scotland. Ogmund took part in King Håkon's expedition and led a contingent of the Norwegian forces at the Battle of Largs on the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Both the Norwegians and the Scots claimed victory in this battle.

Four Horsemen reveals the fundamental flaws in the economic system which have brought our civilization to the brink of disaster. The film features 23 leading thinkers who break their silence to explain how the world really works.
The documentary pulls no punches in describing the consequences of continued inaction, but the movie's message is one of hope. If more people can equip themselves with a better understanding of how the world actually works, then the systems and structures that condemn billions to poverty or chronic insecurity can, at last, be overturned.
Four Horsemen is free from mainstream media propaganda, doesn't bash bankers, criticize politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. The documentary ignites the debate about how we usher a new economic paradigm into the world which, globally, would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.

Why I need to listen to these MagicSwitch CD series?
How many times you can chant in a day? Say 1000 times or 2000 times, while doing all your household work or office work.
Also, can you remember to do it throughout the day, day and out? Not possible for ordinary souls like us. It's mentally tiring and boring too.
No problem for me. I can do it as I am a die-hard.
But, how long you would like to do as one problem goes from life, another problem follows us?
May be, you think you can store the switch words in your mobile and listen to it the whole day – ignoring TV and other entertainment that you may seek normally. Yet it is not efficient.
Also, in this fast-paced world we need a quick fix, a simple approach which doesn't take time and quite effective in terms of time taken.
Is there is a simple technique available?
Yes there is a technique that needs shorter duration. It is effective as well as efficient.
You just have to listen to the MagicSwitch CDs from Naran. He has picked ten of the most powerful combination of switch words and has recorded them in Alpha frequency.
How much time it takes to listen to a MagicSwitch CD?
It takes up about 30 minutes.
During this time your sub-conscious mind would have listened to the switch words combination for 25,000 times.
It has a nice background music that will keep you in a relaxing mode.
You can either put your head phones on or play it loudly for others to listen – especially when you want your kith and kin to be benefitted.
Because you are listening to Magic Switch Word Combination recorded in Alpha state, your conscious mind relaxes and thus you are killing two birds in one stone – relaxation plus programming your subconscious mind. Therefore, the words reach your sub-conscious mind directly and have a greater impact on it.
The same combination is played one after another multiple times, such that at the same time you will be listening to the Magic Switch Words combination multiple times. So it is efficient to listen to them this way instead of you saying the words monotonously.
The Music and switch words are tuned to keep one in alpha state so that switch words produce better results.
Every mental state, whether it is positive or unwanted, keeps the brain in a particular frequency.
Depending on the number of cycles per second, each frequency is classified as beta, alpha, theta, delta and gamma.
If there is a frequency for worry, there will be another frequency for calmness and relaxation.
Each MagicSwitch CD as per the title keeps your mind in that frequency, while listening to it.
The required frequency is achieved by binaural beats, monaural beats or isochronic tones.
Each and every title (MagicSwitch CD) has a background music blended with isochronic tones and combined with switch words.

International retail chain Primark has appointed New York-based The Bait Shoppe as its AOR as the European retail chain expands to more cities in North America. The scope of responsibilities will include developing and executing the brand's marketing activities across all channels, including in-store, online, mobile, out-of-home media and experiential activations.
The first project under this new partnership will promote Primark's new store opening in Brooklyn, New York this summer. This activation strategy is new to the fashion retailer which will attempt to bring its well-known in-store experience outside of the store and to the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
After opening its first U.S. store in September 2015, Primark now operates eight locations in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, but has struggled to attract Americans to its brand. As the Wall Street Journal reported in December, Primark shuns online shopping and relies on super cheap prices to draw customers into its stores, a strategy that has won it a cult-like following across Europe.

Do women voters favor women candidates? Not really, Iowa shows.
Republican Joni Ernst and Democrat Staci Appel are trying to become the first women to be elected to Congress from Iowa. But their different approaches to the milestone point to an underlying truth for women in politics.
Appel for Iowa/AP/File & AP
Staci Appel (l.), who is running for an Iowa seat in the US House of Representatives, has made a big deal of being a female candidate. Joni Ernst (r.), an Iowa Republican running for Senate, has not.
By Francine Kiefer Staff writer
@kieferf
This November, Iowans have the opportunity to break the glass ceiling and send their first female to Congress.
Staci Appel, Democratic candidate in Iowa's Third Congressional District, yells it from the rooftops. "Iowans can make history this year," her website enthuses.
Joni Ernst, Iowa's Republican candidate for the Senate, doesn't make a big deal of her gender. "I believe that we should vote for the person, the right candidate, regardless of gender," she says matter-of-factly.
Is she right, does gender really not matter to voters? Or, perhaps, do women vote for women?
The short answer is this: Women vote for Democrats.
Admittedly, that's an overly broad statement that needs the words "tend to" in there. "Women are more likely to vote for Democrats" than men, says Kelly Dittmar, assistant professor at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J.
Party preference trumps "any sense of gender affinity for a woman candidate," she says. Sometimes, when both candidates are pretty moderate or perceived to be fairly equal, women will cross over to support a female candidate, such as in the case of former Republican senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe. "But that's rare."
Interviews on the campaign trail in Iowa – as unscientific as they may be – bear Professor Dittmar out, as do "gender gap" data.
For instance, Ms. Ernst, who is a senator in the Iowa state legislature and a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard, enjoys a 15-point advantage among males.
It's the reverse for her opponent, Democrat Bruce Braley, an Iowa congressman. He enjoys a 15-point advantage among women, according to a Des Moines Register poll this month. The two are running neck-and-neck in this purple state.
Republicans and Democrats are both working hard to get out the women's vote in Iowa. But the gender gap among voters explains why Ernst is sticking to a boilerplate GOP message of low taxes, a balanced budget, and fewer regulations, while Mr. Braley is speaking directly to women about issues such as pay equity and the minimum wage.
And so is Ms. Appel, who has a phalanx of volunteers – Appel Women For Change – contacting women voters on her behalf. She says that voters should consider her positions and accomplishments. But she also says that having more women in elective office makes a real difference. That, at least, was her experience as an Iowa state senator.
"When we brought more women into the state Senate, we looked at early childhood issues, we looked at child safety issues, we looked at child diet and physical activity," says Appel. Those were previously neglected areas, she points out.
"It would be great to be elected as the first [Iowa] woman to Congress, because I think we need more women there," she says. Right now, there are 79 women in the House and 20 female senators, out of a total of 535 seats.
Despite several high-profile races that give the impression that the midterm elections are the "year of the woman," it's not a record year in terms of number of female candidates, says Dittmar at Rutgers.
Fifteen women are running for Senate, compared with a record 18 in 2012. In the House, 161 women are running, compared with a record 166 two years ago.
"We're at a plateau," she says.

Luxembourg based singer-songwriter Calvin Batley recently released his latest single under his project Ravensong. Calvin took some time to chat to Sam Steen about it, his upcoming live shows and plans for the future.
Luxembourg based singer-songwriter and all round renaissance man Calvin Batley recently released his latest single under his new full time project Ravensong. Calvin took some time to chat to Sam Steen about the single, his upcoming live shows and plans for the future.
Calvin is a member of a number of other musical projects including Fervency, a Danish alt-electronica duo, but since moving to Luxembourg he has started to pour more and more of his energy in to his solo project Ravensong.
"It began as sketches when I was with other bands and I would write songs that weren't appropriate (for them)," he said, "they started out as being quite eclectic but then it started to have its own red line, its own common theme, I started playing gigs then all of a sudden I started releasing singles and then planned an album and now I'm taking it very seriously and it's another aspect of my life."
Ravensong's latest single, The Correlation is, in Calvin's own words "an epic song". To say the song takes you on a journey would be an understatement. There are elements of metal, funk, pop and everything in between but most of all "It's ten and a half minutes of rock!"
Though obviously delighted with how the song has worked out Calvin doesn't plan to include it on his upcoming album. "I'll keep the album to around twelve songs, around forty five minutes, to an hour so that I can put it on vinyl, I love vinyl but there are certain stipulations, you need the sides to be about twenty or twenty two minutes long to make that work so The Correlation might be a bit too long."
As for the album itself, fans will have to wait until the new year for its release. "The album will be released around January or February next year, that's what I'm aiming at and I think the singles should be apocryphal aside from the album and all the songs for the album should be brand new and fresh." said Calvin.
In the meantime there will be a number of Ravensong shows around the Grand Duchy and the greater region kicking off with a gig at Rocas on Saturday the October 28 at 9pm and Calvin says that it should be a lot of fun.
"I am completely alone. I've got this RC300 Boss loop station and I have to jump around like a mad man and create lines and also I have a mini-studio at home so I can write and record my own baselines and drum parts and i can have those and activate them in the loop station and then loop on top. Depending on how I wire up the loop station I can loop my vocals and then loop the guitar swell. It's a beast of a thing, I was about to say that I try to keep things simple but obviously that's not entirely true but it should be a full band sound and a satisfying rock experience."

CAN Briefing on IPCC AR5 WGIII
Submitted by rvoorhaar on December 12, 2010 - 12:00am
EMBARGOED UNTIL 11am CEST (09.00GMT) SUNDAY APRIL 13, 2014
Berlin, April 12, 2014: Members of Climate Action Network have welcomed the third installment of the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report to be released tomorrow which lays out the solutions to the climate crisis, giving governments a clear case for urgent action.
Members of Climate Action Network provide the following comments on the launch of the report:
"The IPCC's working group three report to be released here in Berlin tomorrow confirms it is not too late to act to prevent catastrophic climate change. We can keep average global temperature rise to the 2 degrees threshold agreed by the countries of the world. But effective action will only occur with strong international cooperation. Luckily, leaders like Angela Merkel have an opportunity to show they have received this message from the world's peak body of climate scientists when they attend the United Nations Secretary General's Climate Summit in New York in September. As a German, I expect Frau Merkel to lead the Heads of Governments to a breakthrough in international climate politics which delivers a robust climate action plan in Paris in 2015."
Sabine Minninger, Senior Adviser, Climate and Energy Policy, Bread for the World.
"The IPCC is clear that acting on climate change is possible, beneficial and affordable. If we act now, costs will be only a very small fraction of global economies. Those who say it's too hard and too expensive are wrong. But it is very urgent – without immediate action, costs will rise and and impacts will too. The first, critical step is changing investment flows. Any investor who looks at this report will have to reach an obvious conclusion: It's time to pull your money out of dirty fossil fuels and put it into renewable energy and energy efficiency."
Samantha Smith, leader, Global Climate and Energy Initiative, WWF International.
"Science has spoken: climate action is no burden, it's an opportunity. As renewable energies are growing bigger, better and cheaper every day, the age of dangerous and polluting coal, oil and gas is over. The only rational response to this report is to start the phase out of fossil fuels immediately. It's simple: the more we wait, the more climate change costs us. The sooner we act, the cheaper the transition to a renewables future for all will be. China, more than anyone, has the potential to become a game-changer in global climate action. China's coal consumption limits and massive investments in renewable energy not only provide hope for Chinese citizens to breath clean air again but could also end the relentless growth of global climate pollution. China must now lead the world to new climate treaty by presenting an ambitious new target with binding emission cuts. If they act, the US and EU will also be embarrassed into the urgent action we need."
Li Shuo,Climate and Energy Policy Officer, Greenpeace China.


Pawpaw would be an interesting experiment. I have seen at least Asimina species, can't confirm Asimina triloba, in Santa Rosa Beach/Watercolor, etc.
You may not get enough chill hours there for fruit, but hard to say.
If you can get any of Peterson Pawpaw's varieties, or Overleese, KSU-Chappell, Sunflower. Mango purportedly does well in hotter climates but i don't know if that's true.
G2gardens.com sells Peterson varieties and Mango and Overleese and more.
Hidden Springs Nursery sells the KSU varieties, Mango, Overleese, Sunflower and more.
Secondly, i'm not really aware of any other cold-hardy passiflora that has fruit worth eating. Maypop is your best bet and I think very tasty.
As for A. triloba I don't think I've ever seen any here. The small bush like pawpaw do grow here in places such as cow fields or whatever and I've seen them with fruit as far down as Sarasota FL. Riding down hwy 27 near and past cheifland FL I have seen tall tree like pawpaw out in the fields. Just can't pull over and jump onto people's property. I would have to assume due to size they are triloba. Santa Rosa Beach is like 2 hr drive west of me and roughly at the same position across so I'd figure if they fruit there they could here. Just fruits and exotics sells some but can't remember what varieties. They are 2+ hrs East of me. Don't much mind what varieties I can gather as long as I can eventually try one! The few times I've seen fruit on the bush types by the time I'd come back to see if they are ripe something had already got them. There's a lady here in FL that specializes in the native small types. Cannot remember her name or business name but I'd emailed her before with no reply in the distant past.
I agree maypop is tasty and I do like them. Miss my P. edulis from down south though. I like the tartness. A friend is sending banana passionfruit seeds but I don't know if I can get fruit set and ripening before cold wipes them out.
Good deal! And good luck!
It's exciting to try a fruit for the first time, especially when it's a native like pawpaw. I remember early in my obsession with them how stoked I was.
It's a very interesting fruit, pretty unique. But for someone spoiled on the great exotics, it might not be too exciting. Still, it's amazing considering it's native and temperate.
I'm not super picky flavor wise. I've got one of those palates that can eat about anything. Very intrigued to try pawpaw that is for sure!
I've tried most of the exotic fruits and like many of them but white sapote is my favorite so far and perhaps some of the exotic mango flavors. The annonas are good too and jackfruit as well. Wasn't crazy about jackfruits texture though.
If you like white sapote you will like pawpaw. Pawpaw is very custardy (though some are firmer like a great mango). And it can have vanilla/caramel flavors. I have even thought at times there's a jackfruit resemblance but not so sure.
I have had ones that taste like durian too, and others have reported this. Durian is one of my absolute favorite fruits.
Pawpaws are cool because they're 2 fruits in one: they start off fruity, but if you let it ripen longer, get very dark, the flavor changes to an amazing caramel/butterscotch/flan. I like them more on this end.
Never tried durian wonder where I might be able to make that happen. Imagine people grow them somewhere in extreme South FL. Think I saw a documentary about a place down south with one in a greenhouse or something but said it's never fruited??? Could be recalling wrong though. Maybe it was that "fruit hunters" documentary.
Your making a wonderful case for pawpaw! I'm certainly buying some at just fruits next time I go!
Yes you're thinking of Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Miami area. They have a durian tree in the Whitman pavilion. I don't think anyone has fruited durian in the US. But, you can usually find frozen durian at Asian markets, either whole fruits or small packages of seedless flesh. It's not as good as fresh but it's still fun. Like any fruit, sometimes you get a dud.

Arrest Made in Chula Vista Shooting
By Joseph M.D. Young
Published Jun 19, 2011 at 4:12 PM | Updated at 6:14 AM PDT on Jun 20, 2011
Arnulfo Luis Flores was wanted for the attempted murder of his neighbor according to police.
A man wanted for shooting his 27-year-old neighbor Friday after a dispute turned himself into police Sunday morning, according to Chula Vista police.
Arnulfo Luis Flores, 66, turned himself into San Diego Police around 9:30 a.m. and was booked on three counts, including attempted murder, assault with a firearm and child cruelty, said police.
Luis was wanted for attempted murder after he shot his neighbor with a shotgun in the front yard of the man's home in the 300 block of Beech Avenue sometime before 8 p.m. Friday, said Lt. Daniel Hardman with CVPD.
Flores and his neighbor had allegedly been arguing about the noise the victim was making while repairing a lawnmower. The two were said to have a history with each other, said Hardman.
At some point during the argument Flores ran back to his home across the street to grab the shotgun before coming back out and shooting the victim, said Hardman.
Flores was charged with child cruelty because he shot the victim in front of children, said police. It's unknown how many children or how close they were, but police said they were close enough to witness the crime.
The victim sustained injuries to his legs, and Flores ran back into his home after the shooting, according to Hardman.
Officers were unable to locate Flores after arriving on the scene at 7:52 p.m. They concluded he was in his home, said Hardman.
A SWAT team was called in as a precaution and waited to get a warrant before entering Flores' residence, said Hardman. Once SWAT entered they found that Flores had fled.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment and his injuries were not life-threatening.

, David Hale, and P. Newton. Featured version reprinted from Susquehanna (PA) Journal, 20 Mar. 1880, as quoted in "An Interesting Document," Salt Lake Daily Tribune (Salt Lake City, Utah Territory), 23 Apr. 1880, [4]. The copy used for transcription is currently part of a bound volume held at CHL.
Each issue of the Salt Lake Daily Tribune (1871–) comprises two leaves (four pages) that measure 27 × 22 inches (69 × 56 cm). Each page is set in ten columns. The copy used for this transcription has presumably been in continuous institutional custody.
Historical Introduction
This document is an agreement allegedly made between two groups of investors who had hired JS,
, and three laborers to find and uncover buried "Gold or Silver . . . [or] coined money and bars or ingots of Gold or Silver." JS and Joseph Smith Sr., both of whom apparently signed the agreement, were together guaranteed two-elevenths of whatever was found. This document does not appear among this volume's featured texts because it cannot be authenticated. No manuscript of the contract exists, and it is known only through its publication in Utah's then avowedly anti-Mormon Salt Lake Daily Tribune, fifty-five years after it was purportedly written and two thousand miles distant. Even copies of the 20 March 1880 issue of the Susquehanna Journal, where it reportedly first appeared in print, cannot be located. Nevertheless, substantial corroborating evidence supports the plausibility of such an agreement, which if authentic provides a glimpse of the folk world in which JS lived, as treasure seeking was widespread throughout New England during JS's youth.

According to the Tribune, B. Wade, a resident of Yellowstone Valley, Montana Territory,

forwarded the Susquehanna Journal article to the Tribune in correspondence dated 12 April 1880. On 23 April, the Tribune published "An Interesting Document," which featured the "Articles of Agreement" along with Wade's letter and several paragraphs of commentary on the document. The agreement was reportedly drawn up on 1 November 1825 in
, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and was said to be in the possession of a citizen of Thompson Township, Susquehanna County, at the time of its publication in 1880. Wade stated that he had obtained a printed copy from "a slip cut from the Susquehanna, (Pa.) Journal" dated 20 March 1880, which he enclosed in his letter to the editors. The Tribune's commentary likely drew on the original article from the Susquehanna Journal, but without the original article it is impossible to know what editorial material was written by the Tribune and what was borrowed from the Journal. The Tribune presented Wade as a believing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who expected a positive response to the document, and the article speculated that "Brother Wade" may have intended to send his letter to a church-owned newspaper.
The introductory text in the Salt Lake Daily Tribune, 23 Apr. 1880, [4], reads as follows:
"AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT.
"Articles of Agreement Between Joe Smith, the Father of Mormonism and Other Persons in 1825.
"Yellowstone Valley, Mt.,
"April 12, 1880.
"eds. tribune: Knowing how interested you are in any matter pertaining to the early history of our Church, I enclose a slip cut from the Susquehanna, (Pa.) Journal of March 20, which will throw some light on the subject. The Journal is published near the scene of our martyred Prophet's early exploits.
"B. Wade.
"The following agreement, the original of which is in the possession of a citizen of Thompson township, was discovered by our correspondent, and forwarded to us as a matter of local interest.
"The existence of the 'buried treasures' referred to was 'revealed' to Joe Smith jr., who with his father the Prophet, at that time resided on what is now known as the McCune farm, about two miles down the river from this place, and upon the strength of which revelation a stock company was organized to dig for the aforesaid treasure. After the company was organized, a second communication was received by Joseph, jr., from the 'other world,' advising the treasure seekers to suspend operations, as it was necessary for one of the company to die before the treasure could be secured.
"Harper the peddler, who was murdered soon after, near the place where the Catholic cemetery in this borough is now located, was one of the original members of the company, and his death was regarded by the remainder of the band as a Providential occurrence, which the 'powers' had brought about for their especial benefit. The death of Harper having removed the only obstacle in the way of success, the surviving members re-commenced operations, and signed an 'agreement,' giving the widow Harper the half of one third of all the treasures secured. The following is the agreement, written by the old humbug, Joseph Smith, himself."
The text of the agreement is found at this point, followed by this concluding commentary:
"The place where treasure was supposed to lie buried was on the place now owned by J. M. Tillman, near the McKune farm, then the property of Wm. Hale. Excavations were also made on Jacob Skinner's farm, some of which remain well marked to-day. It was while pursuing this unsuccessful search for treasures that the Prophet Smith pretended that he unearthed his famous 'tablets.'
"Brother Wade may have made a mistake in directing his letter to the proper Church journal. If he has, Granny [the LDS church–owned Deseret News] has our permission to copy the above by giving The Tribune proper credit."
Salt Lake Daily Tribune. Salt Lake City. 1871–.
The agreement seems to be generally consistent with the historical record. Most of the fifteen persons named in the agreement can be identified. One of the signers,
, hired JS to assist him in the search for buried treasure, and one of the witnesses,
, provided boarding for JS during that period.

Stowell apparently visited Manchester and hired JS to help him in his search for a Spanish silver mine on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. Isaac Hale later explained that JS and a group of "money diggers" boarded at his house in November 1825, at which time JS began courting Hale's daughter

JS's employment and the nature of his work during that period are well documented. JS's history stated, "In the month of October Eighteen hundred and twenty five I hired with an old Gentleman, by name of
Josiah Stoal
who lived in
Created in south-central New York state, 1798. Population in 1830 about 37,000. In this county, Josiah Stowell employed JS as farmhand and millworker, 1825–1827. JS married Emma Hale in South Bainbridge, Chenango Co., 1827. JS was charged with and acquitted...

Oliver Cowdery
3 Oct. 1806–3 Mar. 1850. Clerk, teacher, justice of the peace, lawyer, newspaper editor. Born at Wells, Rutland Co., Vermont. Son of William Cowdery and Rebecca Fuller. Raised Congregationalist. Moved to western New York and clerked at a store, ca. 1825–1828...
, who met JS in April 1829, later explained that the objective of the search was to find "a cave or subterraneous recess . . . where a company of Spaniards, a long time since, when the country was uninhabited by white settlers, excavated from the bowels of the earth ore, and coined a large quantity of money; after which they secured the cavity and evacuated, leaving a part still in the cave, purposing to return at some distant period."
Oliver Cowdery, "Letter VIII," LDS Messenger and Advocate, Oct. 1835, 2:201.
stated that the workers, including JS, stayed at his house for only a short time before they "became discouraged, and soon after dispersed. This took place about the 17th of November, 1825."
Isaac Hale, Affidavit, Harmony, PA, 20 Mar. 1834, in "Mormonism," Susquehanna Register, and Northern Pennsylvanian [Montrose, PA], 1 May 1834, [1].
JS continued to work on Stowell's farm for several months to contribute to the Smith family income; whether he helped Stowell with other treasure searches is not known, but early in 1826 JS reportedly said that he "did not solicit business of this kind."
"A Document Discovered," Utah Christian Advocate, Jan. 1886, 1. In March 1826, Peter G. Bridgman, a nephew of Josiah Stowell, filed a complaint in Bainbridge, New York, charging JS with being "a disorderly person and an Imposter"—charges related to JS's activities as a treasure seeker and his use of a stone to find buried objects. The supposedly defrauded Josiah Stowell himself, however, testified in JS's favor at the resulting trial. Though not known or published until decades later, the lengthy account in the Utah Christian Advocate represents itself as being a transcript from the records of Justice Albert Neely, who conducted the proceedings. (Trial proceedings, Bainbridge, NY, 20 Mar. 1826, State of New York v. JS, [J.P. Ct. 1826], in "The Original Prophet," Fraser's Magazine, Feb. 1873, 229–230.)
Utah Christian Advocate. Salt Lake City. Jan. 1884–Nov. 1887.
The Salt Lake Daily Tribune's commentary incorrectly assessed several aspects of the agreement and was wrong about the timing of JS's involvement in treasure seeking in
Area first settled by Swedish immigrants, 1628. William Penn received grant for territory from King Charles II, 1681, and established British settlement, 1682. Philadelphia was center of government for original thirteen U.S. colonies from time of Revolutionary...
. This may provide evidence that the agreement was a valid 1825 document being misinterpreted in an 1880 context. If the document had been forged by the Tribune or the Susquehanna Journal, it seems likely that the commentary and the document would have corresponded more closely. For instance, the Tribune's commentary overstates JS's role by claiming he was a major party in the document, describing it as "Articles of Agreement Between Joe Smith, the Father of Mormonism and Other Persons in 1825."
"An Interesting Document," Salt Lake Daily Tribune, 23 Apr. 1880, [4].
The agreement, however, required that all the profits be split between two groups, likely the investors. The first group,
, and William Hale, was to receive two-thirds of the profit, and the second group, Charles Newton, William I. Wiley, and "the Widow Harper," was to receive the other one-third of the profits. (The commentary in the Tribune misstated the share Harper was to receive.) JS, on the other hand, was supposed to be paid equally by the two groups and would share two-elevenths of the total profits with his
. Further, the Tribune claimed that the "old humbug, Joseph Smith," wrote the agreement, a highly unlikely scenario. JS was likely one of the youngest members of the company and had little education. Nothing in the agreement suggests that he wrote it or even appears consistent with him writing it.
The commentary in the Tribune also included implausible claims about a relationship between the death of Oliver Harper, a "peddler" murdered in 1824, and this agreement. Oliver Harper was never mentioned in the agreement, but the commentary assumed, probably correctly, that the "Widow Harper" was his wife, Tryphena (Phena) Stone Harper.

The commentary claimed that JS received two revelations that encouraged the investors to sign the agreement. The first revelation reportedly provided the location of the buried treasure, which led to the initial organization of a "stock company" predating the agreement featured here. JS then allegedly received a second revelation "advising the treasure seekers to suspend operations, as it was necessary for one of the company to die before the treasure could be secured." The Tribune article provided this explanatory addendum: "[Oliver] Harper the peddler, who was murdered soon after . . . was one of the original members of the company, and his death was regarded by the remainder of the band as a Providential occurrence, which the 'powers' had brought about for their especial benefit. The death of Harper having removed the only obstacle in the way of success, the surviving members re-commenced operations, and signed an 'agreement,' giving the widow Harper the half of one third of all the treasures secured."
"An Interesting Document," Salt Lake Daily Tribune, 23 Apr. 1880, [4]. In May 1824 Oliver Harper, a raftsman of Windsor, New York, who floated large quantities of timber downriver, was murdered by Jason Treadwell just below Martin Lane's mill (Lanesboro), Pennsylvania, while returning up the Susquehanna with his profits. ("Trial for Murder," Adams Centinel [Gettysburg, PA], 22 Sept. 1824, [3]; Blackman, History of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, 96–97, 582–583.)

This account includes a number of apparent anachronisms. There are no known JS revelations until several years later, for example, and those revelations occurred in a religious rather than treasure-seeking context. More significant, court records indicate that Harper died on 11 May 1824,
See "Trial for Murder," Adams Centinel [Gettysburg, PA], 22 Sept. 1824, [3]; see also Blackman, History of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, 582.
and, contrary to the claims of the Tribune, there is no credible evidence that JS participated in digging for buried treasure in
before 1825. In contrast, his treasure-seeking activities in

explained that they first met JS in 1825,
Josiah Stowell mentioned in a letter that he had not known JS before 1825. Isaac Hale claimed that he first met JS in November 1825. (Josiah Stowell Jr., Elmira, NY, to John S. Fullmer, Cambria Co., PA, 17 Feb. 1843, CHL; Isaac Hale, Affidavit, Harmony, PA, 20 Mar. 1834, in "Mormonism," Susquehanna Register, and Northern Pennsylvanian [Montrose, PA], 1 May 1834, [1].)
Stowell, Josiah, Jr. Letter, Elmira, NY, to John S. Fullmer, Cambria Co., PA, 17 Feb. 1843. CHL. MS 2823 2.
and in the accounts JS and
wrote about that visit, noted earlier, neither mentioned that JS had engaged in any treasure seeking in Pennsylvania before 1825.
If JS had originally worked for Oliver Harper or others who were a part of the treasure-seeking agreement, this associated information would have likely been included in their accounts. In her history of JS's early life, Lucy Mack Smith gave no hint of her husband or JS going to Pennsylvania before 1825.
Nearly fifty years later, Emily C. Blackman's History of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, published in 1873, included a statement from Oliver Harper's laborer, R. C. Doud, who claimed that he heard JS had predicted where treasure could be found in Pennsylvania as early as 1822.
Doud claimed that on "the old Indian road from Windsor to Chenango Point, about four miles west of Windsor, men were digging, at the same time, for silver, upon Joe's telling them where it could be found." (Blackman, History of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, 581.)
Such late accounts, however, too conveniently rely upon each other for support and contradict the statements made much earlier by individuals more closely familiar with JS's whereabouts before 1825.

supposed to be a valuable mine of either Gold or Silver and also to contain coined money and bars or ingots of Gold or Silver, and at which several hands have been at work during a considerable part of the past summer,
According to later recollections from Isaac Hale's nephews, digging had begun several years earlier when William Hale was "informed by a woman by the name of Odle, who claimed to possess the power of seeing under ground . . . that there were great treasures concealed in the hill northeast from Isaac Hale's house."

Q: Debian Dual Boot. Wheezy, and Jessy Is there a way I could have a Dual Boot OS with the same OS? I want Debian, but I want Jessie, and Wheezy. Are they the same OS or are they different?

A: Yes you can dual boot with the same OS, same distro, same distro version. The different partitions do not need to know about each other, although it is customary (at least when disc space was at a premium) to share swap space when dual booting.
The only thing when using the same version of a particular distro (e.g. two times Wheezy), is that it becomes less easy to keep apart the different entries in the grub startup menu.


Hey guys! I'm Chaz/Charlie and I'm 16 and I'm from England. I just come on here because I get bored easily and I like making all my surveys. I do find it interesting to see what people think about various stuff. I am who I am. Don't really like to label myself because I don't fit into a stereotype, but one thing I will say is I'm still a major tomboy, I never grew out of the 'phase' I was supposedly going through. You can add me on here if you want. Or chat to me. Whatever. Apparently I'm a decent person! lol.

Westpac closes China business in Asia retreat
Michael SmithNorth Asia correspondent
Oct 14, 2020 – 5.27pm
Sydney | Westpac Banking Corp will exit its operations in Hong Kong and mainland China as part of a wider consolidation of its international business aimed at cutting costs and improving capital efficiency in a move which will reduce staff numbers in Asia by up to 200.
Just a year after it opened a new office in Shanghai, Westpac said Wednesday it would close its businesses in China's commercial capital as well as Beijing, Hong Kong, Mumbai and Jakarta to focus on its core Australian and New Zealand institutional customers.
The move is the latest retreat from Asia by a big Australian bank and follows an escalation of diplomatic tensions between Australia and China and a national security crackdown in Hong Kong. Westpac will retain its operations in Singapore.
Banking sources said the move was not politically motivated and it would take 18 to 24 months to wind the operations down. Between 150 and 200 staff were currently employed across those six cities.
However, the timing of the move comes as more Australian companies reconsider moves to deploy capital or staff into China after the Morrison government warned Australians were at risk of arbitrary detention and diplomatic tensions between the countries rise.
Westpac said it would consolidate its international operations into branches in Singapore, London and New York.
Over time, it would improve the bank's capital efficiency by reducing risk-weighted assets by over $5 billion. Westpac hopes to retain its big institutional customers in the region despite the staged rollout. This includes Bank of China and some major Chinese state-owned enterprises.
The move is a turnaround from its strategy to pursue opportunities from Asia's rapid urbanisation which was driving demand for infrastructure financing. Two years ago, executives also said there could be opportunities arising from China's plan to make it easier for foreign firms to obtain renminbi trading and derivative licences.
Despite this, Australian exporters were expected to continue benefiting from the economic growth of China as it prepares to announce reforms to boost domestic consumption after avoiding a second wave of coronavirus infections.
Li-Gang Liu, Citi's chief economist for China, told the Citi conference in Sydney on Wednesday that he expected China's GDP to rise 2.4 per cent this year which would make it one of the world's few major economies delivering positive growth. He also forecast a 5.5 per cent growth in China's third-quarter GDP when the latest quarterly figures are reported next week.
"Down the road, we will see a lot of concrete policies to boost China's domestic demand, especially in terms of China's consumption," Mr Liu said.
