We're having an invasive removal & trail maintenance volunteer work day Saturday, April 13, 9 am - 12pm at California Woods, called Green Up Day. We have gloves and tools, and you're welcome to bring your own. (pruners, saws). 5400 Kellogg Ave, Cincinnati OH 45230, meeting at the main building down the park road from Kellogg.
Thanks for your skillful help last Fall with the honeysuckles. I think you will enjoy driving in and not seeing any of it between the creek and the road.
This is a good way to get to know one of Northside's beautiful nature preserves and help to keep it beautiful. This process involves the removal of the invasive non-native Garlic Mustard. Come out and meet your neighbors. Children welcome. If you arrive after 10, take the trail and look for us (orange vests) working in that area.
It should be a glorious day to be in the woods! Wildflowers will be blooming. Please wear gloves (thorns, poison ivy), kneeling mat if needed, trowels or something to dig with. Depending on how much rain we get on Friday, boots may be needed.
Join us for a guided hike to experience an outstanding display of wildflowers, streams, birds and woodlands at the Nature Conservancy's Agnes Andreae Preserve near West Jefferson. We have arranged for the hike to be led by the very knowledgeable Rick Gardner, ODNR chief botanist and Chris Rupp, TNC's assistant preserve manager. Little Darby Creek was monitored by Ohio EPA in 2014 and was found to have some of the best stream quality in Ohio, including the area within the preserve.
See the 2014 Dispatch article on this Preserve at http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/science/2014/05/04/a-forest-unsullied.html. We expect to start at 10:00 AM and wander the preserve for a couple of hours.
We may lunch out in the field, so bring a sack lunch and beverage with you. There is no set trail for the hike and at least one steep part that we may need to traverse, so we're saying this hike is semi-strenuous. Hike size will be limited to 20, so a RSVP is required. You can rsvp for others, please just give Angela Carter, amcarter@fuse.net, the names, your email and contact number. Agnes Andreae Preserve is approximately 2 hours from downtown Cincinnati; directions will be sent with rsvp.
Angela Carter will lead us along Trillium Trail to a large population of shooting stars and numerous Spring ephemerals that we may find blooming along the trail. The reserve is located along the west bank of Indian Creek and part of a 135-acre scenic natural area comprised of wooded hillsides, wetlands, bluffs with rock outcroppings and bottom lands. Trails are considered moderate to difficult due to steps and steep inclines that are often muddy after rain as well as some tree roots exposed along the trail. The parking area is paved with access to a restroom and shelter.
Contact Angela Carter (513-300-2787 or amcarter@fuse.net) if you have any questions.
Directions: From Cincinnati, take I-275 to exit 33 for US-27/Colerain Ave/OH-126. Follow US-27 N for 10.8 miles and turn left onto Reily Millville Rd. After 6.2 miles, turn left onto OH-732 S/Main St that will become Springfield Rd after 0.2 miles. 6500 Springfield Rd is an additional 0.4 miles on your right.
We are in for a treat as Bill Lindauer and friends lead us through Hisey Park! Hisey Park is a 158-acre Warren County Park located along the Little Miami River and Scenic River Bike Trail at 5443 Middletown Road directly south of Waynesville. In 2003, Ben Hisey sold the farm to the Warren County Parks hoping it would stay a farm. Continuing that tradition, Bill is raising corn, pumpkins and sunflowers for activities at the Hisey Fall Festival. Also, a tree nursery/arboretum is used to plant native trees and shrubs around Hisey. We also nurture & plant native wildflowers. There is a wetland in the NW corner of the farm. It contains swamp rose mallow, monkey flower, false daisy, water plantain, boneset, tall thoroughwort, buttonbush, winterberry holly and nannyberry. There are also numerous sycamore, cottonwood, swamp white oak, elm, silver maple, box elder, red maple, and speckled alder. There is a meadow with numerous mowed trails south of the wetlands. It has beautiful stands of wild bergamot and a rather interesting unknown wild blackberry.
There is a bluebird trail through this area. The meadow is hunted by northern harriers, short eared owls, red-tails & other raptors. At our GBBC event we have called screech, barred, and great horned owls, and coyotes! We have watched eagles soaring, hawks arguing over prey, pileated woodpeckers eating suet, and yellow-bellied sapsuckers making their sap lines. The farm also attracts migratory birds like sand hill cranes and the black and white warbler. On various summer hikes, we have marveled at the Cooper's hawk flight approach to its nest, the wonderful dance and mating flight of the American woodcock, black vulture chicks being raised in the hollow of a huge ash tree, and the red fox prints in the snow.
There is an eroded, steep bluff rising eastward near the center of the farm. Near its north end is a scenic overlook and picnic area. At the northeast corner of the farm is an older forest, a stream, and upland areas At the southeast upland section of the farm the Hisey family planted many hardwoods. This whole area has an abundance of wildflowers blooming through spring summer and fall. In spring can be found harbinger of spring, cut-leaf toothwort, spring beauty, yellow corydalis, yellow & white trout lily, twinleaf, May apple, purple phlox, hepatica, dwarf larkspur, bloodroot, Miami mist, corn salad, waterleaf, purple cress, purple rocket, lopseed, enchanter's nightshade, jewelweed, toad shade, doll's eyes, wild senna, tall bellflower, numerous ferns, mushrooms and more.
Those wishing to continue exploring the area will travel to Caesar Creek State Nature Preserve (where we will have a Give Back Days next week to remove invasive honeysuckle). Be sure to pack a lunch and bring a water bottle. Contact Christine Hadley (513-850-9585 or christinehadley@earthlink.net) or Angela Carter (513-300-2787 or amcarter@fuse.net) if you have any questions.
Directions: From Cincinnati, take I-71 N to exit 28 to merge onto OH-48 N toward Lebanon for 3.5 mile. After 1.3 miles, turn right onto Middletown Rd that winds to the left and becomes N Waynesville Rd. After 0.7 miles turn right onto Middletown Rd and turn left after 0.2 miles onto Corwin Rd. Turn right onto Middletown Rd. after 0.3 miles and the entrance to the park, 5443 Middletown Rd, Waynesville, OH 45068, will be on the right after 0.1 miles.
Join us to pull the invasive garlic mustard plant, which is easy to recognize and yank out of the ground. We want to help conserve DNAP's (Ohio Division of Natural Areas and Preserves) limited resources and preserve this lovely area where so much work has already been done on the bush honeysuckle. Bring gloves and enthusiasm. We'll furnish bags. No experience necessary!
Of course, you can relax and take a nice walk after pulling garlic mustard, and we often have lunch at a local café.
Caesar Creek Gorge is a wonderful preserve of 461 acres with a variety of spring ephemerals. The gorge walls, rising 180 feet above the river, were formed by glacial meltwater, exposing Ordovician limestone and shale rich in fossils. The preserve contains diverse habitat, including floodplain and hillsides heavily wooded with beech, maple, hickory, and oak.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called A Reminder of Why You Should Never Take Lynching Lightly (WARNING: Graphic Description) and is located at https://thewitnessbcc.com/a-reminder-of-why-you-should-never-make-light-of-lynching-warning-graphic-content/.
Recently a congressman from Mississippi, Karl Oliver, posted a comment on his Facebook page that encouraged lynching as the consequence for removing Confederate memorials. His ridiculous post reminds us that lynching should never be taken lightly.
Oliver's comments come in the context of the removal of four Confederate monuments in New Orleans and the planned removal of similar statues in Charlottesville, Virginia. Taking down the monuments has met with strong opposition from some segments of the American populace who insist that taking down the symbols is erasing history and dishonors a noble heritage.
However strongly one feels about preserving Confederate monuments and emblems, no one should ever flippantly mention lynching. The only way people can talk about lynching in jest or in an instance (I hope) of hyperbole is if they neglect the brutality of practice.
Lynching is an extra-legal, violent, and deadly form of terrorism that was widely practiced in the Jim Crow era in the United States, especially in the South. While records are scant, nearly 4,000 lynchings took place in the period between 1880-1930. What many people don't realize is that there are different forms of lynching. Some attacks were spontaneously carried out by mobs who descended upon black individuals accused of some wrongdoing. Other lynchings were private mobs of two or three people who took it upon themselves to enact their own brand of justice. The lynching of fourteen-year old Emmet Till is one example.
Lynching served a public purpose. These murders were designed to instill a sense of fear in black populations so that even after slavery, a racial caste system that favored white men and locked minorities into subordinate roles would remain in place. Some of the most effective lynchings were premeditated affairs in which the whole community was invited to observe the spectacle of black death.
The events surrounding the murder of Luther and Mary Holbert illustrate the detestable nature of lynching. Here are the details as related by historian, Chris Myers Asch, in his book, The Senator and the Sharecropper: The Freedom Struggles of James O. Eastland and Fannie Lou Hamer.
The exact nature of the conflict leading to the lynching of the Holberts in February, 1904 is not precisely clear, but it had to do with love. Luther Holbert, a worker on the James Eastland plantation in Sunflower County, Mississippi, had been living with Mary who was the wife or ex-wife of another worker, Albert Carr. Holbert and Carr had a dispute over the romance and eventually Eastland intervened. Carr and Eastland went to the Holbert's cabin armed with guns. Only the results, not the details, of the encounter are known. At the end of the altercation at the cabin, both Eastland and Carr lay dead at the hands of Luther Holbert.
Jim Crow "justice" was quick and certain for any black man who killed a white man. Fearing for their lives, Luther and Mary Holbert went on the run. Led by Eastland's brother, Woods Caperton Eastland, the alleged crime ignited the white population and hundreds of white men who pursued the Holberts with bloodhounds guiding them. Despite Mary disguising herself as a man and taking to the swamps, the Holberts were captured three days later. What happened next is a horror of inhumanity.
The lynching didn't happen immediately. It was planned for the next day, a Sunday afternoon after church so a large crowd could gather. The murderers strategically chose a location for maximum intimidation. It took place on the property of a black church in Doddsville, MS. The black church has historically been the locus of religious and communal life for black people. Performing a lynching on church grounds sent a message to all black people in the area that no place was safe from white supremacy.
Finally, the Holberts, who were still alive, were taken to a pyre. The white men cruelly forced two black men under threat of death to drag the Holberts to the fires. They burned Mary first so Luther could see his beloved killed. Then they burned him.
The tragic and infuriating lynching of the Holberts is just one of literally thousands of similar examples. Although the details vary, the broad contours remain the same. Lynchings usually took place because of some perceived slight. Anti-lynching crusader, Ida B. Wells, found that lynchings were often over economic disputes. But imagined sexual predation on the part of black men was frequently an excuse.
Almost no white people who participated in the lynching of black citizens ever faced a legal consequence. Woods Eastland, who led the mob, actually faced charges in the murder. But his acquittal was a foregone conclusion. After the all-white jury found him innocent, Eastland hosted a party on his plantation to celebrate.
What Can We Learn from the History of Lynching?
Most people wouldn't refer to lynching at all, let alone do so in the frivolous and insensitive manner that Karl Oliver did. But for citizens who still adhere to basic standards of decency this memory of lynching serves an important function.
First, it reminds us that the brutality of lynching cannot be understated. Americans have a notoriously bad memory of their own history, especially when it comes to racism. We should never forget just how grisly and blatantly evil lynching was.
In addition to the gruesomeness and violence of lynching itself, these spectacles remind us of the everyday nature of racism. The participants and observers of lynchings were homemakers, sheriffs, and church members and leaders. These were "decent folks" who descended into the depths of degeneracy. Lynchings show us that racism is never exclusive only to the most extreme elements of society.
Lynchings also remind us of the depravity of humanity. The depths of evil that seemingly normal men and women can sink in their allegiance to racial idolatry should never drift from our attention. Although after long battles legal and moral battles lynching became illegal, the darkness in our hearts still lingers and lynchings still happen.
Those who are horrified by the facts of lynching should be vocal in their condemnation of those who, either in public or private, make light of it. This horrendous crime cannot be normalized. It should not be spoken of except in the most somber of tones. Karl Oliver's comments remind us of that memories are short, racism is real, and the journey of justice continues.
I thought this a helpful article that helped to put a current controversy (Rep. Oliver's comments) in perspective. Thanks!

Journey: Steve Perry (lead vocals), Neal Schon (lead guitar, backing vocals), Johathan Cain (keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Ross Valory (electric bass, backing vocals) and Steve Smith (drums, percussion, backing vocals). From the album Escape (1981).
Journey's first three works, Journey (1975), Look into the Future (1976) and Next (1977) were jazz-rock with Greg Roli as main singer and a moderate sales flow. Then, Columbia Records asked the group to change their musical style and add a leading vocalist, and Steve Perry joined to record Infinity (1978). This was the band's most cohesive album so far, Perry and Schon wrote songs together with a hard rock flavour, and was certified platinum. In 1978 Dunbar was replaced by drummer Steve Smith, who had collaborated with jazz fusion violinist Jean-Luc Ponty.
In 1979 Journey published Evolution and in 1980 Departure, which ranked eighth in the charts. Next it made a world tour in which Capture (1981) was recorded, the group released Dream After Dream (the soundtrack of a Japanese movie) and later Rolie was succeeded by Jonathan Cain, who played keyboards and rhythm guitar, and sang backing vocals. In 1981 the band published Escape, it's most important work, whose rock sound is even harder and in which the passionate Perry takes centre stage while there is an extraordinary connection between Schon on guitar and Cain on keyboards. The album made it to the top of the Billboard 200 and was certified nine times platinum, and its singles "Open Arms", "Who's Crying Now" and "Do not Stop Believin" achieved number 2, 4 and 9 of the Billboard Hot 100 respectively.
Also in 1981 Neal Schon issued the jazz-rock work Untold Passion and in 1982 Here to Stay, both with keyboardist Jan Hammer, who had been part of the first line-up of the jazz fusion band Mahavishnu Orchestra in the early 1970s, accompanied by blues, jazz and rock bassist Colin Hodskinson. In 1983 Journey published Frontiers, another sales smash hit that won second place on the Billboard 200, was certified six times platinum and its single "Separate Ways (Worlds Appart)" made it to eighth position on the charts.

I also used the vanilla cupcake recipe to make a one layer cake (double for two layer) and I cut a wedge out of top, carefully removed onto a plate without breaking it and filled baked and cooled cake with strawberry sauce. Then I put the top that I cut back on the cake and piped the remaining strawberry icing onto the cake. Picture of finished result follows…keep in mind it was just for my hubby and me so was not too fancy.

Bodemvervloeiing of verweking (liquefactie) is een verschijnsel waarbij de bodem een aanzienlijk verlies van sterkte en samenhang ondervindt in reactie op toegebrachte spanning, gewoonlijk door een aardbeving. Hierdoor gedraagt de bodem zich als een vloeistof. Dit verschijnsel kan ook optreden bij zandopspuitingen en oevers van bijvoorbeeld estuaria met losgepakt zand in de ondergrond. Trillingen van golven kan dan lokaal de poriënwaterspanning hoger worden, hetgeen kan leiden tot bodemvervloeiing. Overigens wordt het verschijnsel in dit verband vaak 'zettingsvloeiing' genoemd. In extreme gevallen kan dit tot een dijkval leiden.

Dit verschijnsel wordt meestal waargenomen in losse zanderige grond, omdat los zand de neiging heeft om samen te drukken wanneer het beladen wordt. Dicht gepakt zand heeft daarentegen de neiging om uit te dijen dilatantie. In een waterverzadigde grond zijn de porieruimtes tussen de grondkorrels gevuld met water. Door de samenpersing van de grond neemt de druk in het water toe en zal het de neiging hebben om uit de grond te vloeien. Indien de belasting van de grond sterk en herhaaldelijk plaatsvindt, zal het water niet tijdig kunnen wegvloeien vooraleer de volgende belasting van de grond plaatsvindt. Daarom zal elke cyclus van belasting de waterdruk in de grond opbouwen. Uiteindelijk kan hierdoor de waterdruk groter worden dan de spanning die de grondkorrels met elkaar verbindt. Het gevolg is dat de grond zijn sterkte verliest en zich gedraagt zoals een vloeistof. Hierdoor kunnen aardverschuivingen of -verzakkingen plaatsvinden. Anders gezegd: doordat de waterdruk in de poriën toeneemt zal de lithostatische druk tussen te korrels afnemen (de korrelspanning neemt af) en komen de korrels minder stevig te liggen en kunnen makkelijk gaan stromen.

Een grondsoort waarmee dit ook kan gebeuren is snelle klei. De bodemvervloeiing die dan optreedt heeft hetzelfde effect als hierboven beschreven, maar vindt zijn oorzaak niet zozeer door de afname van de korrelspanning, maar door veranderingen van de elektrische lading van de kleideeltjes door verandering van zoutgehalte.

"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."--John 3:14, 15.
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (This he said, signifying what death he should die.)"-John 12:32, 33.
In order to make this subject plain, I will read the passage referred to.--Num. 21:6-9. "And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."
This is the transaction to which Christ alluded in the text.
The object in both cases was to save men from perishing. The bite of the serpent, its influence being unchecked, is the death of the body: the effects of sin, unpardoned and uncleansed from the heart, are the ruin of the soul. Christ is lifted up, to the end that sinners, believing in him, may not perish, but may have eternal life. In such a connection, to "perish" cannot mean annihilation, for it must be the antithesis of eternal life, and this is plainly much more than eternal existence. It must be eternal happiness--real life in the sense of exquisite enjoyment, and the counterpart of this, eternal misery, is presented under the term "perish." It is common in the scriptures to find a state of endless misery contrasted with one of endless happiness.
We may observe two points of analogy between the brazen serpent and Christ.
1. Christ must be lifted up as the serpent was in the wilderness. From the passage quoted above out of Jn. 12, it is plain that this refers to his being raised up from the earth upon his cross at his crucifixion.
2. Christ must be held up as a remedy for sin, even as the brazen serpent was as a remedy for a poison. It is not uncommon in the Bible to see sin represented as a malady. For this malady, Christ had healing power. He professed to be able to forgive sin and to cleanse the soul from its moral pollution. Continually did he claim to have this power and encourage men to rely upon him and to resort to him for its application. In all his personal instructions he was careful to hold up himself as having this power, and as capable of affording a remedy for sin.
In this respect the serpent of brass was a type of Christ. Whoever looked upon this serpent was healed. So Christ heals not from punishment only, for to this the analogy of healing is less pertinent--but especially from sinning--from the heart to sin. He heals the soul and restores it to health. So it was said by the announcing angel, "Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. His power avails to cleanse and purify the soul.
Both Christ and the serpent were held up each as a remedy; and let it be specially noted--as a full and adequate remedy. The ancient Hebrews, bitten by fiery serpents, were not to mix up nostrums of their own devising to help out the cure: it was all-sufficient for them to look up to the remedy of God's own providing. God would have them understand that the healing was altogether his own work. The serpent on a pole was the only external object connected with their cure; to this they were to look, and in this most simple way--only by an expecting look, indicative of simple faith, they received their cure.
Christ is to be lifted up as a present remedy. So was the serpent. The cure wrought then was present, immediate. It involved no delay.
This serpent was God's appointed remedy. So is Christ, a remedy appointed of God, sent down from heaven for this express purpose. It was indeed very wonderful that God should appoint a brazen serpent for such a purpose--such a remedy for such a malady; and not less wonderful is it that Christ should be lifted up in agony and blood, as a remedy for both the punishment and the heart-power of sin.
The brazen serpent was a divinely-certified remedy; --not a nostrum gotten up as thousands are, under high-sounding names and flaming testimonials; but a remedy prepared and brought forth by God himself, under his own certificate of its ample healing virtues.
So was Christ. The Father testifies to the perfect adequacy of Jesus Christ as a remedy for sin.
Jesus Christ must now be held up from the pulpit as one crucified for the sins of men. His great power to save lay in his atoning death.
He must not only be held up from the pulpit, but this exhibition of his person and work must be endorsed, and not contradicted by the experience of those who behold him.
Suppose that in Moses' time many who looked were seen to be still dying; who could have believed the unqualified declaration of Moses, that "every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live?" So here in the gospel and its subjects. Doubtless the Hebrews had before their eyes many living witnesses who had been bitten and yet bore the scars of those wounds; but who, by looking, had been healed. Every such case would go to confirm the faith of the people in God's word and in his own power to save. So Christ must be represented in his fullness, and this representation should be powerfully endorsed by the experience of his friends. Christ represents himself as one ready and willing to save. This, therefore is the thing to be shown. This must be sustained by the testimony of his living witnesses.
As the first point of analogy is the lifting up of the object to be looked upon, the second is this very looking itself.
Men looked upon the serpent, expecting divine power to heal them. Even those ancient men, in that comparatively dark age, understood that the serpent was only a type, not the very cause in itself of salvation.
So is there something very remarkable in the relation of faith to healing. Take for illustration, the case of the woman who had an issue of blood. She had heard something about Jesus, and somehow had caught the idea that if she could but touch the hem of his garment, she should be made whole. See her pressing her way along through the crowd, faint with weakness, pale, and trembling;--if you had seen her you would perhaps have cried out, What would this poor dying invalid do?
She knew what she was trying to do. At last, unnoticed of all, she reached the spot where the Holy One stood and put forth her feeble hand and touched his garment. Suddenly he turns himself and asks--Who was it that touched me? Somebody touched me;--who was it? The disciples, astonished at such a question, put under such circumstances, reply--The multitude throng thee on every side, and scores are touching thee every hour; why then ask--Who touched me?
The fact was, somebody had touched Him with faith to be healed thereby, and he knew that the healing virtue had gone forth from himself to some believing heart. How beautiful an illustration this [sic.] of simple faith! And how wonderful the connection between the faith and the healing!
Just so the Hebrews received that wonderful healing power by simply looking toward the brazen serpent. No doubt this was a great mystery to them, yet it was none the less a fact. Let them look; the looking brings the cure, although not one of them can tell how the healing virtue comes. So we are really to look to Christ, and in looking, to receive the healing power. It matters not how little we understand the mode in which the looking operates to give us the remedy for sin.
This looking to Jesus implies that we look away from ourselves. There is to be no mixing up of quack medicines along with the great remedy. Such a course is always sure to fail. Thousands fail in just this way,--forever trying to be healed partly by their own stupid, self-willed works, as well as partly by Jesus Christ. There must be no looking to man or to any of man's doings or man's help. All dependence must be on Christ alone. As this is true in reference to pardon, so is it also in reference to sanctification. This is done by faith in Christ. It is only through and by faith that you get that divine influence which sanctifies the soul--the Spirit of God; and this in some of its forms of action was the power that healed the Hebrews in the wilderness.
Looking to Christ implies looking away from ourselves in the sense of not relying at all on our own works for the cure desired, not even on works of faith. The looking is toward Christ alone as our all-prevalent, all-sufficient and present remedy.
There is a constant tendency in Christians to depend on their own doings, and not on simple faith in Christ. The woman of the blood-issue seems to have toiled many years to find relief before she came to Christ; had no doubt tried everybody's prescriptions, and taxed her own ingenuity besides to its utmost capacity, but all was of no avail. At last she heard of Jesus. He was said to do many wonderful works. She said within herself--This must be the promised Messiah--who was to "bear our sicknesses" and heal all the maladies of men. O let me rush to him, for if I may but touch the hem of his garment, I shall be whole. She did not stop to philosophize upon the mode of the cure; she leaned on no man's philosophy, and had none of her own; she simply said--I have heard of One who is mighty to save, and I flee to him.
So of being healed of our sins. Despairing of all help in ourselves or in any other name than Christ's, and assured there is virtue in him to work out the cure, we expect it of him and come to him to obtain it.
Several times within the last few years, when persons have come to me with the question, Can I anyhow be saved from my sins--actually saved, so as not to fall again into the same sins, and under the same temptations? I have said--Have you ever tried looking to Jesus? O yes.
But have you expected that you should be actually saved from sin by looking to Jesus, and be filled with faith, love, and holiness? No; I did not expect that.
Now suppose a man had looked at the brazen serpent for the purpose of speculation. He has no faith in what God says about being cured by looking, but he is inclined to try it. He will look a little and watch his feelings to see how it affects him. He does not believe God's word, yet since he does not absolutely know but it may be true, he will condescend to try it. This is no looking at all in the sense of our text. It would not have cured the bitten Israelite; it cannot heal the poor sinner. There is no faith in it.
Sinners must look to Christ with both desire and design to be saved. Salvation is the object for which they look.
Suppose one had looked towards the brazen serpent, but with no willingness or purpose to be cured. This could do him no good. Nor can it do sinners any good to think of Christ otherwise than as a Saviour, and a Saviour for their own sins.
Sinners must look to Christ as a remedy for all sin. To wish to make some exception, sparing some sins, but consenting to abandon others, indicates rank rebellion of heart, and can never impose on the All-seeing One. There cannot be honesty in the heart which proposes to itself to seek deliverance from sin only in part.
Sinners may look to Christ at once--without the least delay. They need not wait till they are almost dead under their malady. For the bitten Israelite, it was of no use to wait and defer his looking to the serpent till he found himself in the jaws of death. He might have said--I am wounded plainly enough, but I do not see as it swells much yet;--I do not feel the poison spreading through my system;--I cannot look yet, for my case is not yet desperate enough; I could not hope to excite the pity of the Lord in my present condition, and therefore I must wait. I say, there was no need of such delay then and no use of it. Nor is there any more need or use for it in the sinner's case now.
We must look to Christ for blessings promised, not to works but to faith. It is curious to see how many mistakes are made on this point. Many will have it that there must be great mental agony, long fasting, many bitter tears and strong crying for mercy before deliverance can be looked for. They do not seem to think that all these manifestations of grief and distress are of not the least avail, because they are not simple faith, nor any part of faith, nor indeed any help toward faith; nor are they in anywise needed for the sake of acting on the sympathies of the Saviour. It is all as if under the serpent-plague of the wilderness, men had set their wits at work to get up quack remedies; fixing up plasters, and ointments, and plying the system with depletions, cathartics, and purifiers of the blood. All this treatment could avail nothing; there was but one effective cure, and if a man were only bitten and knew it, this would be the only preparatory step necessary to his looking as directed, for his cure.
So in the case of the sinner. If he is a sinner and knows it, this constitutes his preparation and fitness for coming to Jesus. It is all of no avail that he should go about to get up quack prescriptions, and to mix up remedies of his own devising with the great Remedy which God has provided. Yet there is a constant tendency in religious efforts toward this very thing--toward fixing up and relying upon an indefinite multitude and variety of spiritual quack remedies. See that sinner. How he toils and agonizes. He would compass heaven and earth to work out his own salvation, in his own way, to his own credit, by his own works. See how he worries himself in the multitude of his own devisings! Commonly before he arrives at simple faith, he finds himself in the deep mire of despair. Alas, he cries, there can be no hope for me! O! my soul is lost!
But at last the gleam of a thought breaks through the thick darkness, "possibly Jesus can help me! If He can, then I shall live, but not otherwise, for surely there is no help for me but in Him." There he is in his despair--bowed in weariness of soul, and worn out with his vain endeavors to help himself in other ways. He now bethinks himself of help from above. "There is nothing else I can do but cast myself utterly in all my hopelessness, upon Jesus Christ. Will He receive me? Perhaps He will; and that is enough for me to know." He thinks on a little further, "Perhaps, yes, perhaps He will;--Nay, more, I think He will, for they tell me He has done so for other sinners;--I think he will--yes, I know he will--and here's my guilty heart! I will trust Him--yea, though He slay me, I will trust in Him."
Have any of you experienced anything like that?
"Perhaps He will admit my plea.
Perhaps will hear my prayer."
This is as far as the sinner can dare to go at first. But soon you hear him crying out--He says He will; I must believe Him! Then faith gets hold, and rests on promised faithfulness, and ere he is aware, his "soul is like the chariots of Amminadab," and he finds his bosom full of peace and joy as one on the borders of heaven.
When it is said in John 12, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me," the language is indeed universal in form, but cannot be construed as strictly universal without being brought into conflict with Bible truth and known facts. It is indeed only a common mode of speaking to denote a great multitude. I will draw great numbers--a vast "multitude that no man can number." There is nothing here in the context, or in the subject to require the strictly universal interpretation.
2. This expedient of the brazen serpent was no doubt designed to try the faith of the Israelites. God often put their faith to the test, and often adapted his providences to educate their faith--to draw it out and develop it. Many things did He do to prove them. So now. They had sinned. Fiery serpents came among them and many were poisoned and dying on every hand. God said, Make a brazen serpent and set it upon a pole, and raise it high before the eyes of all the people. Now let the sufferers look on this serpent and they shall live. This put their faith to the test.
3. It is conceivable that many perished through mere unbelief, although the provisions for their salvation were most abundant. We, look at a serpent of brass--they might say, scornfully--as if there were not humbugs enough among the rabble, but Moses must give us yet another! Perhaps some set themselves to philosophizing on the matter. We, they say, will much sooner trust our tried physicians than these "old wives' fables." What philosophical connection can any man see between looking upon a piece of brass and being healed of a serpent's bite?
So, many now blow at the gospel. They wonder how any healing power can come of gospel faith. True, they hear some say they are healed, and that they know the healing power has gone to their very soul, and they cry--"I looked to Jesus and I was healed and made whole from that very hour." But they count all this as mere fanatical delusion. They can see none of their philosophy in it.
But is this fanaticism? Is it any more strange than that a man bitten of poisonous serpents should be healed by looking at God's command on a brazen serpent?
4. Many are stumbled by the simplicity of the gospel. They want something more intelligible! They want to see through it. They will not trust what they cannot explain. It is on this ground that many stumble at the doctrine of sanctification by faith in Christ. It is so simple their philosophy cannot see through it.
Yet the analogy afforded in our text is complete. Men are to look to Jesus that they may not perish but may have eternal life. And who does not know that eternal life involves entire sanctification?
5. The natural man always seeks for some way of salvation that shall be altogether creditable to himself. He wants to work out some form of self-righteousness and does not know about trusting in Christ alone. It does not seem to him natural or philosophical.
6. There is a wonderful and most alarming state of things in many churches abroad;--almost no Christ in their experience. It is most manifest that He holds an exceedingly small space in their hearts. So far from knowing what salvation is as a thing to be attained by simply believing in Christ, they can only give you an experience of this sort. How did you become a Christian? I just made up my mind to serve the Lord. Is that all? That's all. Do you know what it is to receive eternal life by simply looking to Jesus? Don't know as I understand that. Then you are not a Christian. Christianity, from beginning to end is received from Christ by simple faith. Thus, and only thus does the pardon of sin come to the soul, and thus only can come that peace of God, passing all understanding, which lives in the soul with faith and love. Thus sanctification comes through faith in Christ.
What, then shall we think of that religion which leaves Christ out of view?
Many are looking for some wonderful sign or token, not understanding that it is by faith they are to be brought completely into sympathy with Christ and into participation with his own life. By faith Christ unites them to himself. Faith working by love, draws them into living union with his own moral being. All this is done by the mind's simply looking to Christ in faith.
When the serpent was up, no doubt many perished because they would not accept and act upon so simple a plan of remedy. Many perished because they did not and would not realize their danger. If they saw men cured, they would say--We don't believe it was done by the brazen serpent on the pole. Those men were not much poisoned--would not have died anyhow. They assume that those who ascribe their cure to the power of God are mistaken.
Many perished also from delay. They waited to see whether they were in danger of dying. And still they waited--till they were so bedizzened and crazed, they could only lie down and die.
So now in regard to the gospel. Some are occupied with other matters, more important just now, and of course they must delay. Many are influenced by others' opinions. They hear many stories. Such a man looked and yet lost his life. Another man did not look and yet was saved. So men have different opinions about their professedly Christian neighbors, and this stumbles many. They hear that some set out strong for religion, but seem to fail. They looked as they thought, but all in vain. Perhaps it was so; for they might have looked without real faith. Some will philosophize till they make themselves believe it is all a delusion to look. They think they see many pretend to look and appear to look, who yet find no healing. Who can believe where there are so many stumbling-blocks?
These discouraging appearances drove some into despair in the wilderness, we may suppose; and certainly we see that the same causes produce these effects here in the case of sinners. Some think they have committed the unpardonable sin. They class themselves among those who "having been once enlightened," "there remains for them no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain looking for of vengeance and fiery indignation." Some are sure it is too late for them now. Their heart is hard as the nether mill-stone. All is dark and desolate as the grave. See him; his very look is that of a lost soul! Ah, some of you are perhaps reasoning and disbelieving in this very way!
Many neglected because they thought they were getting better. They saw some change of symptoms as they supposed. So with sinners; they feel better for going to meeting, and indeed there is so much improvement, they take it they are undoubtedly doing well.
Many of the ancient Hebrews may have refused to look because they had no good hope; because indeed they were full of doubts. If you had been there you would have found a great variety of conflicting views, often even between brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, parents and children. Some ridicule; some are mad; some won't believe anyhow. And must I say it--some sinners who ought to be seeking Christ are deterred by reasons fully as frivolous and foolish as these.
It is easy for us all to see the analogy between the manner of looking and the reasons for not looking at the brazen serpent and to Christ the Saviour. I need not push the analogy into its minute particulars any further. But the question for you all now is: Do you really believe that as "Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so is the Son of man lifted up, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but shall have eternal life"? Do you understand the simple remedy of faith? Perhaps you ask--What were they to believe? This; that if they really looked at the brazen serpent on the pole, they should certainly experience the needed healing. It was God's certified remedy, and they were so to regard it. And what are you now to believe? That Christ is the great antitype of that serpent lifted up in the wilderness, and that you are to receive from him by simple faith all the blessings of a full and free salvation. By simple faith, I say, and do you understand this? Do I hear you say to these things--What, may I, a sinner, just fix my eye in simple faith on Jesus? Who, who may do this? Is it I? How can it be that I should have this privilege?
I see here to-day the faces of some whom I saw last fall in the meetings for inquiry. What have you been doing? Have you been trying to work yourselves into some certain state of mind? Are you wishing intensely that you could only feel so and so--according to some ideal you have in your mind? Do you understand that you are really to look by faith, and let this look of faith be to you as the touch of the poor woman with an issue of blood was to her dying body, believing that if you look in simple trust, He surely will receive you, and give you his divine love and peace and life and light, and really make them pulsate through your whole moral being? Do you believe it? Nay, don't you see that you do not believe it? Oh, but you say, "It is a great mystery!" I am not going to explain it, nor shall I presume that I can do so, any more than I can explain how that woman was healed by touching the hem of the Saviour's garment. The touch in this case and the looking in that, are only the means, the media, by which the power is to be received. The manner in which God operates is a thing of small consequence to us; let us be satisfied that we know what we must do to secure the operations of his divine Spirit in all things that pertain to life and godliness.
You have doubtless had confused notions of the way of salvation, perhaps contriving and speculating, and working upon your own feelings. Now you pray, and having prayed, you say--Now let me watch and see if this prayer has given me salvation! This course is much as if the Hebrew people when bitten by serpents and commanded to look to the serpent of brass, had gone about to apply here a plaster, there a blister, and then a probe, all the time losing sight of just that one thing which God told them would infallibly cure. Oh! why should men forget, and why not understand that all good needed by us comes from God to simple faith? When we see any want, there is Christ, to be received by faith alone; and His promises leave no want unprovided for.
Now, if this is the way of salvation, how wonderful that sinners should look every other way but toward Christ, and should put forth all other sorts of effort except the effort to look at once in simple faith to their Saviour! How often do we see them discouraged and confounded, toiling so hard and so utterly in vain. No wonder they should be so greatly misled. Go round among the churches and ask, Did you ever expect to be saved from sin in this world? No;--but you expect to be saved at death. Inasmuch as He has been quite unsuccessful in his efforts to sanctify your soul during your life, you think He will send death on in season to help the work through!
While Christians disown the glorious doctrine of sanctification by faith in Christ, present, and according to each man's faith so done to him, it cannot be expected that they will teach sinners with intelligible clearness how to look to Christ in simple faith for pardon. Knowing so little of the power of faith in their own experience, how can they teach others effectively, or even truthfully? Thus blind leading blind, it is no wonder that both are found together where the Bible proverb represents both the leaders and the led as terminating their mutual relations.
There seems to be no remedy for such a finality except for professing Christians to become the light of the world; and for this end, to learn the meaning and know the experience of simple faith. Faith once learned, they will experience its transforming power, and be able to teach others the way of life.

Why Wayne Gretzky Is Still 'The Great One'
The March 18, 1985, cover of TIME
By Alex Fitzpatrick
Correction appended, Oct. 15, 2014, 1:45 pm
If you grew up in a hockey house like I did, your parents might've worshipped Wayne Gretzky as if he were the Messiah on Skates. And in a lot of ways he was: The Great One played a full two decades of NHL-level hockey, starting in 1979 with the Edmonton Oilers and ending with my hometown heroes, the New York Rangers, just before the turn of the century, racking up some 2,857 points in 1,487 regular season games. (NHL scoring gives individual players one point for a goal and one point for an assist, but those numbers don't mean squat for the game at hand.)
Those 2,857 points made him — and still makes him — the League's leading scorer. Gretzky toppled another hockey legend, Gordie Howe (1,850 points), to first take that title on Oct. 15, 1989, 25 years ago Wednesday.
Gretzky's points total is impressive to say the absolute least. But as a kid who grew up loving hockey in Gretzky's twilight years, it's really this stat that stuck in my mind: If you take 2,857 points and subtract the points he got for goals, he's still got more assists than any other NHL player has total points. (The next guy down, point-wise? Gretzky teammate and Rangers legend Mark Messier.)
As a young hockey fan, that fact instilled a simple lesson: Greatness can sometimes come from being the guy who puts the puck in the back of the net. But even more often, it comes from knowing whom you can count on to help you get that job done even better than you can. "How long Gretzky and [NBA star Larry] Bird play at the top and stay at the fair will help determine their ultimate reputations," TIME wrote of Gretzky in a March 18, 1985 cover story about athletes at the peaks of their careers.
Gretzky stayed at the top for many seasons after that, but 25 years later his ultimate reputation is this: A life lesson that, while being the hero is nice, you don't always have to shoot — sometimes it's smarter to pass.
Read a 1981 story about the then-20-year-old hockey star, here in TIME's archives: Hockey's Great Gretzky
Correction: The original version of this story misstated the number of individual points an NHL player gets for a goal. The number is one.

'Women in Comedy' Isn't a New Thing — Here's Proof


I was Introduced to Permaculture in the fall of 2012. I attended Alderleaf Wilderness College where I received my PDC from Jenny Pell along with a certificate of Wilderness Education and Ecology and a Level 3 Cybertracker certification. Currently I live on an Urban Farm in Springfield Missouri where my wife is interning, she is a certified permaculture designer as well.
We have currently started our first real projects in a suburban backyard in Nixa Mo, complete with chickens, composting system, annual grow beds, huglekulture, swale, rain garden/pond, rainbarrel water catchment, and water diversion drains to make sure the maximum amount of water possible on in the yard is conserved. My wife is currently helping a local Italian restaurant design some systems so that they can produce some of their own food right there on site.
Currently my mission is to bring awareness of permaculture solutions to the Springfield area and beyond while at the same time finding a way to create a living off of it.

What's breakfast without some bacon! If you are a bacon lover like I am, then you will love this addition to our breakfast table.
Join us at Barrister's Bed & Breakfast where there is always something special on the table!
1 Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and another rack in the lowest third.
2 Preheat to 350 degrees. Line the bottom and sides of two rimmed baking sheets with foil.
3 Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4 In a small bowl, toss together the seasonings. Sprinkle evenly over the bacon. Place one pan on the upper rack and the other pan on the lower rack. Bake, without turning, for 20 to 25 minutes.
5 Switch the position of the pans, top to bottom and front to back. Continue to bake until dark brown but not quite crisp, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
6 Using tongs, lift the bacon from the pans, gently shaking off excess drippings. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Arrange the bacon on a warmed platter and serve at once.
Myer Farms Distillery Pineapple Vodka is the secret ingredient with this special dish. It is a favorite with our guests. If you are at Barrister's this morning this what you will be enjoying.
Start by slicing a whole pineapple into spears. I like using spears because they grill and look better on the plate. Put them in a shallow glass dish and put 1/4 cup of Pineapple Vodka on top of the spears. Let them sit there for about an hour to soak up all the good flavors and then drain the vodka and save (this is used later to keep the cook happy). I use a blend of coffee, brown sugar, sea salt and herbs from Java Gourmet. It is called Java Rub. Sprinkle it over the pineapple and grill just long enough to see the grill marks. Remove from the pan, garnish and enjoy!
Shall we see you for breakfast tomorrow morning?
This is a recipe that was given to me when I first started working. An older gentleman brought in this bread that his wife had made. It was so well received by the office staff that his wife typed up recipe cards for each of the girls in the office. I share this with my guests for Breakfast. I hope that you will enjoy it as well.
I sautéed some bananas with a tablespoon of butter and brown sugar and filled the Bundt cavity of the bread with these.
Beat eggs until light and fluffy in a second bowl. Add oil and bananas to eggs. Add wet to dry ingredients. Add walnuts.
Pour into baking pans and top with chopped walnuts.
Baked in a greased large loaf pan at 350 for one hour (large loaf) or 30 minutes for 3 small loaves. I have substituted a Bundt muffin pan in place of the loaf pan.
Arrange 1 slice of the raisin bread in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the cream cheese evenly over the bread, and top with the apples. If you like extra raisins or dried cranberries, add them now. Top with cubed bread.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, butter, and maple syrup. Pour over the bread mixture.
Cover with plastic wrap, and press down so that all bread pieces are soaked. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Slice French or Italian bread in about 3/4 in. thick slices. One Italian loaf will serve about 6 people. Using about 2 eggs per person, mix eggs, a little milk, about a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract in a large bowl. Dip bread in egg mixture and lay on a cookie sheet to soak for a few minutes. Arrange sliced almonds on each slice. Transfer to griddle, pressing almonds with the back of the spatula. When browned, turn over and grill till almonds are toasty. They will stick to the bread because of the egg mixture. Sprinkle with dried cranberries, confectioner's sugar and serve with real maple syrup.
Place pear halves in the baking dish, sprinkle with spices.
Place a strainer over a bowl and pour berries through to remove seeds. Add sugar as needed to taste.
Line 10×15 jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil 1 inch beyond edges. Grease and flour foil.
Place eggs yolks into a large mixing bowl.
In 2 quart sauce pan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add flour and pepper. Add the milk all at once, cooking until thick and bubbly. Remove form heat and slowly pour into egg yolks. Fold a little of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten then repeat until all white is incorporated.
Spread mixture in prepared pan bake 20 minutes or until puffed and lightly set.
Meanwhile, prepare another piece of foil the size of the pan, grease and flour.
When the egg roll is baked immediately flip it over onto the new piece of foil and allow to cool at room temperature. When cool, place the filling ingredients evenly over the egg roll. Using the foil, roll up from the short side; place foil seam down on a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, unwrap the egg roll and cut into 8 even pieces. Cover lightly with foil and bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until the filling is thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. Plate and serve topped with Creamy Herb Sauce.
Sauté finely chopped shallot in olive oil with salt and pepper. Finely chop parsley and basil and add to the sauté along with the rosemary. Add the cornstarch and mustard to the cream and whisk briskly to combine. Add cream mixture to the pan and bring to a slow boil. Immediately reduce heat and let simmer 5 minutes until thick. If mixture is gets too thick, add a little more cream. Top each roulade with sauce.
Active Time: 20 min. Total Time: 2 hours 20 min. . Note: can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator until ready to microwave.
Prepare oatmeal according to package directions, adding dried fruit. Set aside to cool slightly. Toast walnuts lightly in pan over MEDIUM heat, set aside.
Spray entire inside of four (3/4 cup size) microwaveable ramekins with cooking spray. Sprinkle walnuts evenly in each.
Spread cooked oatmeal evenly in each container. (Note: It is best to work with oatmeal when it is warm).
Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Once chilled completely, remove from refrigerator; run a knife around inside edge of container to loosen pudding from sides.
Heat pudding in ramekins in microwave on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min.
Spread serving plate with 1 Tbsp fruit spread.
Un-mold pudding onto fruit spread by turning over and tapping bottom of container.
Top pudding with 2 Tbsp of yogurt. Garnish with sliced strawberries and blueberries or fruit of your choice and mint leaf.


The Old Foodie: Gingered Lettuce or Lettuce as Ginger?
If you want to know how to restore ostrich feathers, how to cure chapped hands, how to make a barometer and how to perform many other useful domestic skills, you need go no further than the book I introduced you to last week - The Country House: A Collection of Useful Information and Recipes Adapted to the Country Gentleman and His Household … (1866.) Sadly, it must be admitted that much of the advice in this fine book is redundant today – but thankfully, not all of it, and there are a few ideas which are perhaps ripe for re-discovery. How about preserving lettuce? I don't believe I have seen a recipe for preserved lettuce in any modern cookery books I have seen recently but The Country House has two to choose from.
In truth, these are recipes for mock ginger.
Peel off the outer coat of the tender stalks of shot lettuce; cut in 1 in. or 2 in. lengths; throw it into water; for each 1 lb. throw in a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, and a little salt. Let it stand two days. Strain and wash in clean water. Clarify an equal weight of fine loaf-sugar. Take 1 ½ oz. of good ginger for every 1 lb.; soak it in boiling water and slice it; boil with the sugar fifteen minutes. Pour it boiling hot over the lettuce, which must be well drained. Keep back the ginger, which boil with the syrup three times (at intervals of two or three days), and pour boiling hot on the lettuce. At the last boiling add the juice of two or three lemons. If the syrup is allowed to cool, it spoils the colour of the ginger.
Take the stalks of white cos-lettuce, when tender and not stringy; skin it and cut it in pieces; blanch it in water two or three days. Make a thin syrup, to a quart of which add 3oz. of sliced ginger; when cold pour it on the lettuce. Boil up the syrup every other day for a fortnight, and at the last time make it thick, and add lemon-peel. The syrup will require to be boiled up often, and reduced or strengthened as found necessary.
As it turns out, recipes for making mock ginger with lettuce stalks are quite common in nineteenth century cookery books. The following example gives more detailed instructions, and is quite clear about the aim being to produce imitation ginger.
Take about three dozen of tender shot lettuces, peel, cut in pieces about three inches long, and throw into a basin of cold water as you do it. When it is all done, put it on the fire in a brass pan, shake in half a pound of ground ginger, let it boil two minutes, take it off, pour it carefully into a jar, and let it stand for two days ; give it another boil for two minutes, and return it to the jar another day. Put on six pounds of sugar in a brass pan, with a quart of cold water; let it boil for ten minutes, then take the lettuce out of the ginger-water, and wash in cold water; then put it into the boiling syrup, let it boil briskly for five minutes, take it off and pour carefully into the jar. Repeat the boiling until it is clear, allowing a day or two between each time; but before boiling the third time, put on six pounds of loaf-sugar with an English pint of cold water, in a brass pan; let it boil briskly for ten minutes, then pour all together. In the last boiling put in an ounce of the essence of ginger, some shred ginger, and two dozen of cayenne pods, tied in a muslin cloth. When you pot it up, you must let the shred ginger and the cayenne pods lie on the top. This is a beautiful imitation of foreign ginger.

Q: What does 'select to a temp table' mean? This answer had me slightly confused. What is a 'select to a temp table' and can someone show me a simple example of it?

A: A temp table is a table that exists just for the duration of the stored procedure and is commonly used to hold temporary results on the way to a final calculation.
In SQL Server, all temp tables are prefixed with a # so if you issue a statement like
Create table #tmp(id int, columnA)

Then SQL Server will automatically know that the table is temporary, and it will be destroyed when the stored procedure goes out of scope unless the table is explicitly dropped like
drop table #tmp

I commonly use them in stored procedures that run against huge tables with a high transaction volume, because I can insert the subset of data that I need into the temp table as a temporary copy and work on the data without fear of bringing down a production system if what I'm doing with the data is a fairly intense operation.
In SQL Server all temp tables live in the tempdb datase.
See this article for more information.

A: If you have a complex set of results that you want to use again and again, then do you keep querying the main tables (where data will be changing, and may impact performance) or do you store them up in a temporary table for more processing. It's better to use a temporary table often.
Or you really need to iterate through rows in a non-set fashion you can use a temp table (or CURSOR)
If you do simple CRUD against a DB then you probably have no need for temp tables
You have:

*

*table variables: DECLARE @foo TABLE (bar int...)

*explict temp tables: CREATE TABLE #foo (bar int...)

*inline created: SELECT ... INTO #foo FROM...

A: You can use SELECT ... INTO to both create a temp table and populate it like so:
SELECT Col1, Col2...
INTO #Table
FROM ...
WHERE ...

(BTW, this syntax is for SQL Server and Sybase. )
EDIT Once you had created the table like I did above, you can then use it other queries on the same connection:
Select
From OtherTable
    Join #Table
        On #Table.Col = OtherTable.Col

The key here is that it all happens on the same connection. Thus, to create and use a temp table from a client script would be awkward in that you would have to ensure that all subsequent uses of the table were on the same connection. Instead, most people use temp tables in stored procedures where they create the table on one line and then use a few lines later in the same procedure.

A: Think of temp tables as sql variable of type 'table'. Use them in scripts and stored procedures. It comes handy when you need to manipulate data that is not simple value but a subset of a database table (both vertical and horizontal).
When you realize these benefits then you can take advantage of more power that comes with various sharing models (scope) for temp tables: private, global, transaction, etc. All major RDBMS engines support temp tables but there is no standard features or syntax for them.
For example of usage see answer.

A: A temp table is a table that is dynamically created by using some such syntax:
SELECT [columns] INTO #MyTable FROM SomeExistingTable

What you then have is a table that is populated with the values that you selected into it.   Now you can select against it, update it, whatever.
SELECT FirstName FROM #MyTable WHERE...

The table lives for some predetermined scope of time, for example, for the  duration of the stored procedure in which it lives.    Then it's gone from memory and never accessible again.  Temporary.

'The View': New York AG Letitia James Says She's Not Interested in Supreme Court Post
"Listen, Justice Sonia Sotomayor got it right. The stench right now — no," James said
Days after dropping out of the race to become New York's next governor, the state's Attorney General Letitia James says she has no desire to go anywhere else right now — including the Supreme Court.
During an appearance on "The View" on Tuesday, James explained that she still has "unfinished business" as the attorney general in New York, and that's why she opted to run for re-election, rather than running to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul.
As the conversation went on, guest host Amanda Carpenter pointed out that at one of the Democratic primary debates, Joe Biden said that he would nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, should a seat become available during his administration. So, Carpenter asked if James would be interested in that spot.
"No," James replied bluntly. "I would recommend [Sherrilyn] Ifill, the counsel for the NAACP. She's a brilliant woman, and she deserves that seat."
At that, Behar questioned whether James would take the seat if Ifill also didn't want it. But again, James gave a resolute no. "I am someone who likes talking, and dealing with the public, being on the ground," James said.
In detailing more of her work, and what she hopes to continue to do as New York Attorney General — including following California Gov. Gavin Newsome's lead in using the logic of Texas' abortion law to establish gun control measures — host Whoopi Goldberg noted that while she'd love to see James move up, she also sees how James is thriving in her current role.
"You know, it would really be nice to see you as one of the higher court judges, but I just feel like this is your spot," Whoopi said. "This is where you belong, and thank God for you."
To that, James cited Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor words from earlier this month, in which she said that the institution of the Supreme Court may not "survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts," by striking down long-held legislation protecting a woman's right to choose.
"Listen, Justice Sonia Sotomayor got it right. The stench right now — no," James said. "I'd rather be organizing New York and other states. I'd rather be turning red to blue. I'd rather be talking about the issues."

LAWRENCE — The Center for Undergraduate Research is launching a pilot program this spring to assist instructors interested in incorporating research into their undergraduate classes. Nine graduate research consultants will pair with faculty members in a wide variety of fields to challenge their students to further develop their research skills.
The Graduate Research Consultant (GRC) program is modeled from a highly successful program at the University of North Carolina (http://our.unc.edu/faculty/grc/ ). KU's program provides $500 to a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher who works with a particular course to help design a research project, mentor students and evaluate student learning. GRCs are expected to work 30 hours over the course of the semester to facilitate the students' research projects. The goal of the program is to enable the instructor to require more demanding research projects while providing more support for the students.
Faculty and GRCs jointly applied for the awards this fall, detailing the types of research activities they wanted to pursue in their classes and the learning outcomes they hope to achieve through these projects. A wide variety of disciplines are represented in this inaugural group of participants, with class sizes ranging from 20 to 160 undergraduates. Instructors, GRCs, and staff with the Center for Undergraduate Research will work together to develop these projects and document student learning to provide models for incorporating research into the classroom for the campus community.
