Immunity against destruction
Bringing a spiritual perspective to daily life
My mother-in-law, who was not necessarily interested in religion, nevertheless loved to tell of this experience. It was during World War I, and all three family members were ill with the flu, which was an epidemic at that time in the United States.
They needed light nursing and housekeeping care. There was only one person who was unafraid of the contagion, she would say, who was willing to come. The one thing my mother-in-law remembered from their conversations was a statement, "There is no destruction."
I have often wished that I'd met this fearless woman. I've thought about that statement and decided that she may have been sharing an idea from Psalm 103, which so many people love: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction."
I feel sure that it was her reliance on God for all things, including healing, that enabled her to declare that there was no destruction, even as the nation was engaged in a war. And surely it was faith in God that enabled her to feel immune from the epidemic.
Though it has never been substantiated, there have been suspicions voiced over these many years since then that the severe epidemic might have been a result of germ warfare. Today, fears of terrorist-induced contagion, this time smallpox, are openly recognized, and we are alerted that the possibility of an epidemic needs our prayers.
The cruelty of contagious diseases makes us realize they do not operate under any kind of orderly and beneficent law, and the use of germ warfare as a weapon is abhorrent to most people. I was particularly interested in an article written by Mary Baker Eddy, who founded a Bible-based system known as Christian Science for preventing and healing disease. She spoke of the relentless cruelty of disease and how unfair it would be if a caring person "smoothing the pillow" of a sick friend could contract smallpox (see "Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896," pg. 257).
Far from ignoring contagious diseases, Mrs. Eddy not only instructed people how to protect themselves spiritually but also expected them to comply with public health laws. While one is grateful that a health agency is ready for wholesale inoculation if a case of smallpox is discovered, I am convinced that prayer can prevent such a necessity.
An altogether good God would not create disease; otherwise it would be foolish to try to stave it off. Furthermore, this God who is the parent of us all would not create children capable of harming one another. Understanding this God to be Love itself guides our relationships with one another to be loving and caring, even at those times when we're involved in potentially dangerous situations.
Of course, something more is needed than bravado or even courage. An understanding of God and faith in a divine power to save us from destruction are key. God is the source of our immunity from harm, and putting our faith into practice by trusting His protective power, guidance, and wisdom right in the middle of a threatening situation can reveal His omnipotence ever more clearly.
This power made practical in our lives is the light of Christ, which "calms man's fears, bears his burdens, beckons him on to Truth and Love and the sweet immunity these bring from sin, sickness, and death" ("Miscellaneous Writings 18831896," pg. 320).
Yielding our hearts to God's dominion enables us to act intelligently when facing contagion, whether induced by what is considered natural means or let loose as a weapon. Our immunity possibilities are greater than we may have imagined. Far more than providing immunity from a single disease, our turning to Truth and Love is an opportunity to help our world escape all kinds of destruction.
The enlightenment of a caring Christ is found today in diverse religions and cultures. Many people are finding that God, known by whatever name, is universal Truth and Love. The God who heals our diseases and redeems our lives from destruction can be depended on to keep us immune to all evil epidemics. And all that we give to or receive from one another will have Love's imprint.

Are you suffering chronic pain?
Does the pain seem never to go away?
When you are worn out by seemingly endless aches and pains, every part of your life is affected. Feeling in pain puts you on edge, and increases stress, anxiety and depression.
Pain could be keeping you from getting good sleep, which adds to the problem.
Maybe you have difficulty being patient or maintaining an optimistic, pleasant attitude. You might be declining social invitations and career opportunities due to physical discomfort.
Perhaps you've tried some prescription pain pills, but those make you a zombie, unable to think straight or stay awake at work. And you might be a little concerned about getting hooked on those narcotics.
What if you could get relief from pain in a safe and natural way? Imagine how you'd sleep more soundly, feel better, and welcome more activity again. You can have the lasting pain reduction you want with Hypnosis.
Hypnosis works well in many cases for reducing pain and increasing restorative sleep. Combined with the NLP techniques and mindfulness-based stress reduction methods offered at Waves of Change, you can achieve significant pain reduction without the need for medication.
Read more about Hypnosis here.
What you can do about chronic pain
Unrelenting pain can operate on the emotional level. Pain can cause a heightened state of almost desperate apprehension. You mind becomes filled with the questions: How much worse will it get? How much longer will it last?
To the body's stress response system, this is similar to the anticipatory fear experienced when dealing with a phobia. Your imagination paints a picture of something you want to avoid at all costs. And then your emotions and body go into a kind of hyper-alert resistance.
When you're feeling chronic pain your physical and emotional resilience changes, making the pain, or even the fear of the pain, worse. You might know intellectually that you will survive it, but because of the pain you might believe, and cause, your body to respond otherwise. As the illustration says, "The Body Achieves What the Mind Believes." In this case more and continuous pain.
BUT – You can change the messages so that the body achieves pain reduction because you have trained your mind to believe it can be so. Hypnosis combined with NLP, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and CBT counseling can help. Without medication, you can learn to train your brain to perceive less pain and the fear of the pain. As a result your mind and body relax.
Imagine having more control over pain and fear.
At Waves of Change, you can.

Ahh, the old piratey game of drinking! Ye'd have to be a belly-crawling wharf rat to turn down a drink with yer fellow swaggering sea dogs. Drinking is a game for 2 to 6 pirates where the objective is to rack up the most points. Points are made by slamming down more of yer own drinks in a line than yer opponents. But only cups of the same shape or color can be dropped next to each other. If yours can't fit, ye drink!
Starting a Drinking Party
Drinking games can be started by challenging another pirate as usual, or by finding a suitable table and starting a drinking game (either a drinking table or a parlor game table). Once you and your fellow drinkers are arrayed around the drinking table the game begins. The pirate to move first will be selected randomly, and then all others will follow in a clockwise fashion.
Drinking is played entirely with the mouse. When it is your turn, first click on the drink ye wish to place and then on the space on the board in which you wish to place the drink (if there is only one drink option then you only need to click the board space). If there are no moves available, or you wish to drink a drink, then click on your head to drink it.
Placing Drinks
Drinks may be placed on the board in a legal move if all of the pieces next to them (horizontally or vertically, but NOT diagonally) are either the same color, or the same shape, or both. As more drinks are placed on the board the number of available positions is reduced. Since a placed drink has to fit with all the pieces next to it, it's possible to create situations where no drink will fit. Fortunately, chips which will fit anywhere on the board, and hooks which can remove a trouble piece, will come up eventually. Each player has a short amount of time, as shown by the hourglass, to make their move. Should the time run out, then that player will automatically drink the selected drink. There are four different kinds of drink pieces:
- The normal piece, which can be one of a variety of colors and shapes and follows normal placement rules.
- The chips piece, which can be placed in any open space on the board.
- The hook piece, which can be used to remove any piece on the board.
- The barrel piece, which is colorless until placed, but can only be placed (and other pieces can only be placed by it) adjacent to like colors.
You will notice that when you place a drink, not only does the receptacle stand on the table, but also the square is stained with your color (as shown on the coaster by your pirate's face).
Scoring Points
The drinking game is all about scoring points and preventing your opponents from scoring if possible. There are four ways to potentially score points in drinking, depending on the rules chosen:
- If there are more than one piece choices, playing or drinking a piece will give you its point value (pieces that don't get played continue to go up in point value until they are played)
- If the stain bonus is 'each space' or if there is only one drink choice, then placing a piece on a space not already stained in your color will give you 20 points. If the stain bonus is 'entire board' then having the most stains on the board at the end of game will give you 200 points.
- Clearing a row or column will score the following base points, which may be multiplied by x2 if the piece placed that completed the row or column was placed on an unstained space:
- A cleared row or column is worth 100 base points
- Each barrel in a cleared row or column is worth an additional 50 base points
For example, finishing a row with no barrels on a stained square will earn 100 points. Finishing a row with no barrels on an unstained square will earn 200 points. Finishing a row with one barrel on an unstained square will earn (100 + 50) x 2 = 300 points. Finishing a row with two barrels on an unstained square will earn (100 + 50 + 50) x 2 = 400 points. etc. If there are an equal number of stains shared amongst players in a cleared row or column, then the total point value is split between the players.
Making Rows and Columns
The majority of points to be had in drinking are from forming rows and columns of pieces sitting on more of your stains than anyone else's. In the following examples, the players' colors are cyan and yellow. So, as illustrated here, the yellow player with four drinks placed in a row is almost assured of winning that row, since there are only seven spaces within a row:
When a row or column is completed all the drinks are cleared away, leaving behind the stains. Once cleared away a new drink can be placed in a square, changing the stain if it placed by a different player. Thus in the scenario above, the cyan player could complete the column, clearing one of the drinks from yellow's row. Then, if he is lucky, on another turn he can put his own drink in the vacated space, undermining yellow's dominance of the row. If his luck holds out, cyan can then place a fourth drink in that row, winning it for himself (4 drinks to 3).
Three Drinks and ye're out cold!
Of course, the drinking life is not without its hazards. Should you be unable to place a drink on the board you must drink it! You may also choose to drink a drink, gaining that drinks point value and stopping other pirates from using that drink. This can be done by clicking your head, clicking the right mouse button, or by waiting for the hourglass timer to reach zero. Each pirate can cope with three drinks before he passes out -- after the first drink he gets tipsy, after the second he gets drunk, and after the third he passes out.
If a pirate passes out, he will lose one turn. After skipping a turn, he will hiccup and wake up still drunk, so be careful of your intake when near the edge. Placing pieces without drinking will slowly decrease your pirate's level of inebriation. If all the pirates in the game pass out at the same time, the round does NOT end, but continues after they shake it off.
Player Mugs
Player mugs may be purchased at the local distillery, and will give their holder a unique power in the drinking game. Note that choosing the classic drinking configuration means that no player mug powers will be used, regardless if they player has one equipped or not. The player mug powers are as follows:
- Wooden Cup = +5 points for every piece placed
- Goblet = +10 points for every piece placed
- Pitcher = +45 points for drinking a drink
- Flagon = Rows or columns you win are worth 50% more points
- Stein = Gain 15 extra points when gaining a stain, lose 10 extra points when losing a stain
- Horn = Take two extra plays after completing a row (if available in drink choice slots)
- Tankard = +50 points for each of your pieces in a row cleared that you lost
- Skull = Take an extra play when playing fries, keg, or hook, but lose 40 points
- Chalice = Pieces can be played on any space (they need not be played adjacent to other pieces), +5 bonus points per neighboring piece)
Winning the Game
There are two choices for end conditions in a game of drinking that may be configured when creating a table:
- 1) playing until every space has been stained, or
- 2) playing until the first player exceeds a set point value.
When the end condition is met, the player with the most points wins the game. Keep in mind that if the "entire board" stain bonus rule is chosen, the player who reaches the point total first may still lose if the board stained bonus makes her opponent have a greater total point amount.
To succeed at drinking one must focus on winning rows and columns, while also preventing your opponents from doing so. Try to "lock up" yet unfinished rows or columns early by getting a clear majority of stains in your color. Also, try to block your opponents from being able to complete rows that they've "locked up" by either placing pieces that make the fries the only option for them to complete their row, or by completing columns that will take pieces away from their once locked up rows. Remember that stopping your opponents from getting the unstained x2 multiplier on rows that they've locked up is a great way to limit their points, even if they still win the row on an already stained piece in the end. Lastly, if you are playing with the entire board stain bonus, in a close game the final board bonus can become very important, so it's worth trying to place drinks on blank tiles or on spots that are stained by your opponents' colors.

Mexico coues deer tags
TAM posted a topic in Classified AdsI have up to 5 coues deer tags available for DIY hunters on a large ranch near Hermosillo for January 2024. Easy access to and from the ranch with pretty good roads throughout. Has a great house with nice kitchen and beds, very comfortable. Could be hunted archery or rifle. 100 inch+ bucks are on the ranch but there are no size restrictions or trophy fees. Could sit water, glass, still hunt or use any hunting method you prefer. Could arrange for a Mexican cook or helper. Could also hunt javelina, coyote, dove, or quail. This is a non-guided hunt only. I have many years of experience hunting in Mexico and will provide all of the necessary paperwork for guns, tags, and border crossing etc. This would be a great opportunity for someone that has never been hunting in Mexico, but has the desire to do so, to come and learn the process. I have many pictures of the ranch and house and would be happy to share and discuss with any interested parties. My preferred method of contact is to call or text. Tag price is $2,750 per tag and $350 per gun permit with up to two guns per permit. Thank you, Tim Maddock 928-533-8807

2019 Mexico hunt
wildwoody posted a topic in Coues Deer Hunting in MexicoWell here's the story, ill keep it short with pics. Went down this year for the first time, what a great experience. I met a couple great guys here on CWT that were looking for a few guys to hunt a ranch in Sonora Mexico, we talked and sounded like a great experience. So paper work and gun permits followed. . The time had come to go on the hunt, 1/05/19 -1/21/19. We met at Chad's place at 5am ( my friend Cecil and I ) loaded up and met the rest of the group, 8 in all The trip down was good, a little slow at the border checking on the Mexico side for the guns and had to unload extra Suzuki vehicles and drive thru check point and re load. Great from there , 60 miles down and then 2 hrs on dirt rd. back to the north to the ranch. Arrived about 3pm and met the ranchers and hands, if I could spell there names I would but I don't want to disrespect them by butchering there names. Great people for sure. That evening Jayson and Chad showed us the lay if the land. I thought it looked like the Matazal's foot hills and all. I knew I'd be right at home. The food was so good, lodging was super, hot water heat, clean was awesome . Started early Sunday morning after a great breakfast by momma . Then it was of to the hill, rained quite a bit that morning, saw some great bucks but it was the first day, dumb move, my buddy had a chance at a dandy but passed. He should of shot, he ended up with a 1x2 second to the last day. First buck he was stoked, a had 10 opportunities thru out the week at some big ones. He's learning how to shoot folded in half, steep stuff. So the week went on with some great bucks shoot. By the time I knew it was Friday and we just got Cecil done. . Saturday was it , I had to find something decent. Jayson and Chad and rancher Lupe went on a journey. I almost got a shoot at one I had been chasing but safety was on and he was gone. We moved further up the foot hills and started glassing, let me tell you those Swarovski BTX are crazy. Chad found lots of good bucks but they wouldn't stay still long enough to get a shot. Yes they were rutting hard. Then he found one a mile + away. We made a plan and went for it. After 1 hr hike we were within 700 yds.. Set up and found his does, then a great buck ran up to us at 20yrds, tried to get a shot, not easy with a 25x scope on a running buck that close, he never took his nose of the ground. Anyway my buck stud up and the shooting started, after 4 shoots with the 6.5 Creedmoor I went to Chad's 300rum, 2 more misses. Ranged again , my Zeiss range finder was still saying 655 yrds I was dead on left to right just couldn't tell if I was just high barely going under him. We broke out a Swarovski range finder , the same. Then a Vortex Jayson had, it said 705yrds, dialed it up and bam, he's on the ground doing the right stuff. . took the long walk over and found blood and guts but no deer, Chad said he thought he saw a buck get up and walk down into the thicker brush. Ray the cowboy came over and his dog jumped him up and he went around the corner, they found him days after we left. I put a bounty on him for incentive. It worked. They found him 60yrds from where I shoot him , shoot was a couple inches back. Ended up meeting Carlos at the border a few days later and collected my buck. I was shocked he was bigger then I thought. A big thankyou to Chad and Jayson two great guys , can't wait until next year. Here are some pictures from pick up to the wall. There's one picture of him with a 95" buck. One picture with his new friend's, and one of the biggest buck taken by Jim., congrats on a stud

2019 Coues Hunt suggestions
Silentstalker posted a topic in Coues Deer Hunting in ArizonaMy 20 year old son and I would like to hunt Coues deer in 2019. We have a combined 12 points between us (pre 2018 draws). We have never hunted Az for any species. We have successfully hunted elk, mule deer, and antelope throughout the west with bow and rifle. We are from Utah and would like to hunt with our rifles the first time and then follow up later with bow hunts after we get our feet wet hunting them. My questions for you are: 1- with the multiple season dates, is it worth building and or using our points on a coues hunt? What I mean is, Can we experience a great hunt with lower to no points and use our points elsewhere? 2- what would be the top 3 units to hunt with 7 points? Which season dates would you recommend? Our goals would be a mature buck. Score is not that important to us. Ability to find animals (deer densities) would be high on our list of importance. 3- are the late hunts worth the time it takes to draw them? If so, what would you recommend as the top 3 late hunt units? 4- are there any good coues season dates that would also allow us to hunt javelina with a realistic chance to harvest both at the same time? I have more questions, and answers will spawn follow ups. Private messages would be welcomed as an alternative to responding to this post. Thanks for any and all help on this. If I can help with hunts in Utah I would be happy to return the favor. Chad

Coues Deer Celebration 6 - Hope you love it!
CouesWhitetail posted a topic in The CampfireWell, it's been several years since I made a Coues Celebration video. The Coues Celebration videos showcase member photos and video that has been submitted to CouesWhitetail.com. I like to put these together as a thank you to everyone who shares their trophies here and a celebration of the community that has developed here. My original plan for this video was to do a 10 min video made of two 5 min sections, but it's been taking way too long, so my husband suggested I just publish the first half for now and work on the last half for later. So here is a 5 min video with about 150 photos and videos from the website. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute great content to this site! Since I haven't made a video in a few years, the content is backlogged and some of these photos are a few years old. I will be making another video with lots more photos and great video. But for now, here is one to enjoy. Hope you love it! Make sure you watch through the credits at the end as there is a pretty amusing pic from the mullins crew

Patrick's amazing year **updated with full stories**
280REM posted a topic in Youth HuntersMy son is 14 years old and he just finished up a year of a lifetime!!! (fyi.... previously to 2013 he had only taken 1 Coues deer and an antelope) He started it off on Feb. 3rd 2013 with his 1st javelina that he shot at 100 yards with a 96 year old 6.5x55 Swedish mauser in 36a with close friend Andy Behrens. He then drew the October junior elk tag in 4a, we went up on the Wednesday before his hunt and experienced snow on Thursday. he found a herd on opening morning, so we took off and finally got to 350 yards when the lead cow spotted us. He set up and made the shot, sitting, with the same 308 that his deceased mother and older brother both shot their first and only cow elk with. He was shooting the 155 grain Berger bullets over 44 grains of varget. Thanks to David Broerman for all his guidance. Patrick decided to put in for the unit 33 November junior tag, as it would be cooler, and he thought he would have better chances of drawing. He was correct, we went out on Thursday and set up camp. our close family friend, Pat Romero, arrived later that night. they hiked back into great country and at about 7 am Pat found a good buck. Patrick got to 411 yards of the buck and took him down with Pat's 257 weatherby magnum. The shot was at 8 am. He packed it out with Pat and they got back to camp at noon. We then ate a victory lunch of brats and then went out to try to find Patrick a javelina. he got lucky enough to draw both tags at the same time and same unit. long story short, we found a heard of pigs and he shot one at 101 yards at 4 pm! Patrick had completed a double in a day!!! On November 22, 2013 Patrick Wundrock Shot a 107" Coues whitetail at 8 am only to follow it up with a javelina at 4 pm! Well even though he shot that amazing buck, I sent him down to Mexico with Bobby Boido to the El Tule Ranch, for yet another Coues deer. I could not go because I had other commitments. Patrick said it was a very tough hunt, and on the 2nd to last day, January 23, 2014 he shot a very nice deer that we estimate at 95" with Bobby's 300 WSM at 300 yards. Patrick really enjoyed himself and even found a WHITE JAVELINA!!! Needless to say Patrick had a fantastic year, he knows it, and will probably try for the rest of his life to surpass it! full stories have been added to the end of post.

Young girl tries to get her first Coues with a bow!
CouesWhitetail posted a topic in Bowhunting for Coues DeerYou guys know how hard it is to spot and stalk Coues Deer. Well imagine it's your very first time! This young girl's father contacted me to see if we could help him get his daughter her first deer with a bow. He was interested in hunting down in the southern units, so I immediately thought Carl Young of Team Younggunz would be great to help her out. You guys probably know that Team Younggunz runs the women's coues camp down there and they are very successful at getting people on bucks. Anyway, Carl was gungho and so Matthew took his daughter down there for the hunt. Here is her story: Jasmine Burke September 1st 2013 "Jasmine, we got to move." A jolt of energy perked me from a slouching doze. Bryce McGee, a Coues Ninja, suddenly wakes me with exciting news. Our quarry was spotted and it's time to pursue him. Months leading up to this moment dragged by as my father prepared me to strike with deadly force. He and Carl Young, founder of Team Young Gun'z, gifted me with an opportunity to accomplish the most difficult deer hunt in the world: stalk hunting a Coues Whitetail with my bow. 3 O'clock came early as my father woke me. After a quick pampering at Dunkin Doughnuts, we headed to our rendezvous point where we met Carl Young. After a short drive to Bryce's house we maneuvered up a high hill. As we peaked over the top we could see the horizon welcoming the new day. After setting up our gear Bryce, Carl, and my father began finding deer in the valley below. By 6 O'clock I had bow in hand, ready to stalk my prey. I tried to keep pace with Bryce as he ignores the path and bee-lines to the truck; leaving my father and Carl to track the buck through binoculars. I'm astonished by how quickly Bryce ascends the hill; as I stumble behind, thrown off by the weight of my bow. Finally, I'm at the truck and we're off, flying down the road like the world is chasing us. In 15 seconds we're at our destination and I'm following the already fast-paced hunter as he makes his way through debris and jumps over a barb-wire fence. Thanks to my training I'm able to keep up. He glances back at me, "this is where we lose our shoes." He whispers and quickly un-ties his shoes and hangs them on the fence post, mine right beside them. I wince already feeling the sharp rocks digging into my tender flesh. We begin our stalk. I'm flabbergasted by the difference shoes make, we're much quieter now as we sneak through the brush. We move through the briars and debris when suddenly Bryce lowers his binoculars and turns to me, eyes wide. I glance around in confusion and then I freeze. 18 yards away stands a deer, two sticks on his head, a spike, but a buck nonetheless. It's staring right at me, but I slowly draw back my bow. It's more difficult than before, maintaining composer with adrenaline pulsing through my veins. I don't have much time; I put the 20 yard pin behind his shoulder, exhale softly and squeeze the trigger. My breath falters as the arrow wizzes right in front of his chest. The deer ducks hard and bolts off 20 yards. He stops, turns broad side and stares back at us. I inhale sharply from shock, the deer pricks its enormous ears and dashes off. I let the full weight of disappointment sink in on me; I just missed my first deer with a bow. We find my arrow and start heading back towards the truck, berating myself for missing such an easy shot. Bryce try's cheering me up, telling me how quick these deer are. I shake my head as I grab my shoes, stuff my feet in them and climb into the truck. I leaned back in the seat letting the cool air blow on my hot face, Bryce is out-side talking to Carl on the phone. He pokes his head in and takes the keys out, "there are two more bucks." He smiles at me, but doubt is already setting in. We follow the road 30 yards and ditch our shoes again. I grumble and pant as I try to keep up. We trek through the thorns for 30 minutes, and then Bryce runs down a hill. I ungracefully slip and let out a startling gasp as I slide down the hill, tearing up my back and causing dirt to fall into my socks. Pain shoots up my foot as I stop myself from sliding anymore using a dead barrel cactus. Not wanting to slow us down any, I swallow my pain and follow after him. He turns back, "we're nearly there, stay quiet." I nod and follow in example as he bends down and sneak forward, peering over a bush 10 yards in front of us. "Okay, the deer are 50 yards in front of us, can you make that shot?" I gulp and nod. I draw back while crouching and slowly stand up, almost releasing my arrow from shock. The buck is lying down, broadside, tossing his head back and forth. The most shocking thing was his size. He's huge and has a nice rack on his head. This isn't an 'A' typical deer, this is a monster. My heart skips a beat, but I close one eye, take aim and slowly exhale squeezing the trigger. My arrow zips down into the deer's bed and misses the deer by a foot. "I MISSED!" I cried out indignantly. Bryce's eyes widened, and he shushes me. I almost shushed him back in aggravation, but he points out the monsters big brother, standing 55 yards away. I draw back again and let another arrow fly with similar results. Both monstrous bucks bolt. I kicked the ground in frustration, forgetting I'm not wearing any shoes and cry out in pain as I stubbed my toe on a rock. I just missed two monsters and a spike.
23 Youth, where to start
Coach posted a topic in Youth HuntersThe bad news is, 3 out of 4 of us got skunked on the deer draw this year. The good news is, my oldest son, Matt drew a 23 youth tag. I'm no stranger to 23 and have been hunting it for years - but usually for pigs in the early Spring. Many of the spots I know are really great for deer at certain times of the year, but during the youth hunt, a lot of the bucks are higher than where I normally hunt. I'm not looking for a monster buck here, but given the potential and Matt's abilities I think we should be able to find either a nice mature coues or mule deer buck. I'd love to PM or email some ideas back and fourth about strategies for this hunt. I recognize most folks won't want to start shouting out unit-specific advice over the WWW and I respect that, so if you want to talk 23, I have as much to give as get. I know the lower parts of the unit very well, but the upper portion, not so well. I would love to get some advice for hunting this unit for a youth hunt, and will gladly reciprocate with some detailed info of my own, more catered to the later hunts. Thanks, Coach

We here at CT Scenic like to support our local arts community (and arty parties). Its not often that we hear about local filmmakers or puppeteers, so we were very excited about Josh and Todd: A Story Of A Man and His Puppet, which premiered last night at Paris In Plantsville.
On a personal note (aka lets talk about ME for a moment), I worked at a puppet theater during my college years in Boston, and it was easily the most enjoyable job I've ever had. I loved seeing different puppeteers come in every week, and was just as interested in the puppet making process as the performance aspect.
Because of that experience, I have a residual fondness for puppets and was happy to discover that Elmwood Productions are doing some very fun and creative projects with monsters. And, these monsters are the kind that drink, make out, and generally behave badly- characters we can all identify with.
We arrived to the gallery about 10 minutes late, to find that there was standing room only. A seat would have been nice, but it was almost nicer to see local indie filmmakers debuting their work to a packed house. The film was very funny and got many laughs from the audience. Puppet drug use and puppet nudity are pretty much always guaranteed to be hilarious, but the human actors also got their fair share of laughs.
Afterwords, the three filmmakers, and members of the cast, spoke a little bit about the process of making Josh and Todd, which cost just under $1,000 to do. Elmwood Productions made a great little film that obviously a lot of work went into, and we look forward to more of their action. This was also a great reason to get us out to Scenic Plantsville; and by the way, Paris In Plantsville, we're not through with you.
How inspiring! Is anyone interested in funding CT Scenic: The Movie?

Easter Giveaway
You all blessed me so much with the stories you left in the comments during the Saint Patrick's Day Giveaway, I wanted to do another one!
This Easter, I want to share with you my favorite tradition.
As a child we lived in Spain. I come from a Hispanic family and when we lived there we shared our tradition of Cascarones! (An egg shell filled with confetti) You smash these on eachother's head! What fun we had as kids doing this. Although it hurt when someone inevitably "mistakenly" hit you over the head with a hard-boiled egg!
In Mexico, they are popular during the time of Carnaval. But really, people may use them during any festive occasion. According to historians, cascarones originated in China. It is rumored that Marco Polo first brought them to Italy, and on to Spain, and they eventually made their way to the Americas.Tradition has it though, that cascarones are supposed to bring good luck to the person the egg hits. The best part of the cascarones is its religious meaning "because they are made from eggs, they symbolize rebirth and Jesus' resurrection."
Now a days, cascarones are relatively easy fond around Easter time. But when I was a kid, my mom saved them for months leading up to Easter. She would gently break just the top off each egg as to keep most of the shell in tact. My dad would bring the hole- punched dots home from the office in bags. (pre- commercial confetti). Then my brother and I would dye the egg shells, stuff them with our homemade confetti then with a concoction of homemade paste and crate paper, we would seal each egg carefully.
My parents always threw the biggest neighborhood parties,
so during church service the Easter bunny would hide the cascarones all around the yard.
When we got home, all the neighborhood kids would run around finding the cascarones and smashing them on unexpecting adults and eachother!
I think of the mess we made. But mom always seemed to have the yard spotless in the next couple of days. The older I get, the more i appreciate my mother's love for us.
In the spirit of Easter, I want to know how you celebrate with your families or if you have a special tradition that's all your own! Did you wear a new dress to church? Does the Easter bunny footprints leading to your baskets? Do you hide your baskets and make the kids look for them? Do you have an egg toss? Make a certain recipe, or just enjoy the time with loved ones?
Comment below how you celebrate Easter and I will pick a winner on April 29, 2019.
*There is no answer better than another, it's a random drawing*
After making contact with the winner I will post their name here, Facebook and Instagram. This contest is open to US residents only.

First, Easter is my favorite holiday. In The South, our activities and Easter Sunday menus are the same. We would have already purchased a new frock with all the accessories with the menfolk doning their pastel button downs. Everyone would meet at Mama and Daddy's house after church for lunch or brunch. The menu would have to include ham, deviled eggs, yeast rolls, green beans, potato salad, asparagus casserole and coconut cake. Pre-dyed eggs were hid in the yard for the younger kiddos. Getting a photo of everyone together was the goal of the day and made grandma happy!

Easter is a wonderful time for us- after services, our huge family comes for dinner. of course, there is an egg hunt and lots of picture taking. It was great to hear about your traditions, that was new to me, but I agree, the memories we have of the past are wonderful.

We all get a new Easter outfit for Church. I make my kids Easter baskets filled with candy and toys. Now that my children are grown, I do it for my grandchildren. Each child's basket goes on the foot of their bed when they go to sleep the night before. We also dye boiled eggs and hide them after church. If you find the "GOLDEN" egg you win a special prize.
4/17/2019 05:45:03 pm
On Easter we go to a special service at our church. The afternoon is always filled with food, my husbands Tia makes the best tamales and this year is making special vegan ones for my daughter. That is probably the best and most cherised of my easter traditions is being with my in-laws. I had never really celebrated untill I got married and I got baptized into our church. I had never had an Easter dress or a basket either. For me besides being the glorious event of my saviour risen, it's a time to cherish those I love the most.
4/17/2019 05:51:41 pm
When I was growing up, we would all get dressed up in our new Easter clothes and go to church in the morning. My dad, who stayed home, would hide eggs....plastic and hard boiled. The plastic ones usually had change inside.

We celebrate by having a meal with the whole family. Mom cooks a huge spread and then we try so hard not to nap afterwards.

Omg! Victoria I almost cried you explained just how my Tia would save the eggs for Easter for my cousins and I. I remember her tapping the eggs and we had to eat scrambled eggs cause usually the yolk would pop when she would try and get it out of the hold on top. I don't know why I didn't remember this til now. I was going to talk about loving to dress up and hunt for eggs with my cousins. But that memory of my Tia is the best thank you!
4/17/2019 06:01:46 pm
Well, lots has changed over the passed few years.... we have generally always celebrated together as a family (mom, dad and my 2 brothers). 2014 would be the last Easter we celebrated that way. A little carne azada, some Tejano music playing and an Egg Hunt, of course. Even as adults my brothers and I were still hunting for eggs! My dad passed away that year, Easter has been soooo different, as all holidays have been, ever since-although every year is different now, we still try to spend it as a family. Our families have grown since then as we all have kids now 💕 We are all busy with careers and just life in general but we figure out ways to make it work.

My kids and I celebrate Easter in my grandmothers memory. Easter is a brilliant display of colored and great polish food. We spend the night dying eggs and ourselves. Lots of laughs . In the morning my kids (25 and 15), look for eggs which they never eat. And we enjoy our day together. The eggs they find are always turned into colorful deviled eggs.

We celebrate by going to church. We attend the first service together then go off to serve the second service. After that we have an egg hunt and then dinner with my father in law.
4/17/2019 06:19:33 pm
We celebrate with a traditional egg hunt & dyeing eggs, but we also do one special egg hunt with resurrection eggs. Inside each egg is an object that helps tell the biblical story of Easter. We also make "resurrection rolls", in which each part of the recipe has a biblical representation. They are also a yummy dessert!

As a child, we ( my two sisters and I) always got a new (sewn by my Mom or Grandma) dress and new shoes and my brother would get new clothes too. We also took a family picture after church and our baskets were hidden in interesting places around the house. Mine was in the dryer once, LOL. A big feast of ham, potato salad, green beans, etc and a lamb cake!! We would hunt eggs outside, weather permitting or inside if not.

When I was little, we got a new dress and new "fancy" shoes for Easter. Sometimes I would get a new little purse to carry with my new outfit. Easter morning would start with an easter egg hunt. As I got older, our family tradition was to have an Easter picnic in the afternoon with friends. We didn't live near any of our relatives so we had family friends who became our extended family for the holidays.

My daughter is discovering the joys of egg hunts. My family always used to wake up early when I was little and see if we had an Easter basket. My sister and I always had baskets curated with special things just for us. To this day, I am still amazed at how much love and care my Mother showed as she always found what we would love, more than we deserved, and still always made it equal between two sisters.

I always hide Easter baskets for the kids, they get some candy and a special prize, since we home school, it usually is something for an upcoming field trip. Love your story, we found the cascarones about 2 years ago...such fun!! Thank you for sharing!!!
4/17/2019 07:43:56 pm
When I was a kid I always had a new dress for Easter for whatever I did like church, family dinner or for setting up a booth with my parents in a ghost town nearby. Now I color eggs and hide them for the grandkids and have the Easter baskets for them for after they find the eggs. Oh and best part is making deviled eggs with alot of the eggs. Love your story though..

When my cousins were little, Easter was full blown! Church in the morning with an egg hunt, then off to grans for lunch. I prepared the dyes for the eggs, huge Easter baskets for them and enlisted the big kids to hide over 80 eggs for the second hunt. Thr first few years we hid real eggs, and lost a few. My aunt found them later when they began to rot. After that, real eggs were only for dyeing. Plastic eggs were used for the hunt.

We eat a lot of food- Oh my goodness the food! My Husband's family is from Poland so we have a full polish Easter Dinner with them. Don't ask me the names of the foods... After over 15-years I can say them... but no way am I trying to spell them. We have a ham dinner with my family. We hide the baskets for the kiddos- but we try to make it harder to fine each year.

We use to spend Holy Week in Mexico by the Gulf of Mexico, and eat seafood, play at the beach surrounded by family. Although it's not a current tradition it's a fond one.

Growing up we would all gather at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a HUGE family gathering. Mom was 1 of 7 and most people had 2+ kids. So many people, but such happiness and laughing and fond memories!!

When I was a little girl, I didn't necessarily get a new dress for Easter, but we did dress up to go to church. My least favorite memory is when the Easter bunny hid our baskets outside and the dog ate my Peeps. :( One year, the Easter bunny put kites in our baskets and we started flying them before church. My dad anchored them with horseshoes and they were still flying when we got home. That was the best! Now it's a tradition that we have ham and a chocolate dessert my mom always called "Better Than Robert Redford." :) I hope everyone has a blessed and Happy Easter!

My family gets together for a picnic every year. My aunt was born and raised in Hawaii so our picnic has a Filipino/Hawaiian vibe complete with Filipino/Hawaiian cuisine, dancing and music.The picnic has grown each year to where the last Easter picnic there were about 75 -100 family and friends. This year will be a little sad for us as we lost my aunt to cancer in December. My uncle and cousins decided to keep the picnic going in memory of my aunt.

I love Easter, mostly because if it's religious significance in my life and the lives of so many people, but also because of the colors. I love spending time with family and church members and seeing how Easter and or Spring brings about all of the colors and beauty within people. I always cook a soul food style dinner for my family after church, but this year we are doing all seafood.

I enjoy sending Easter with family making Eggs and planning

We don't really celebrate Easter. Our family is far away and we don't have kids. I'm making strawberry crepes for me and my husband. We'll probably just hang around the house and binge watch something.

We celebrate Easter by sleeping in late, eating a good breakfast and then eating candy and being with each other. It's the best part of Easter.

Easter is an amazing time for Resurrection Celebration - attending church is the first priority of our day - we have a fabulous Pastor who preaches from the Bible [so Bible open on your lap] as you following along - Because HE [Jesus] lives I shall also live because I believe in the Gospel] -we take of communion every Sunday to celebrate Jesus has done and instructed us to do as we partake of the holy sacraments. The family gathers at our home for a traditional Easter Meal with fun and celebration of "Look what the Lord has done." And the inside the house Easter Egg tradition begins [the plastic eggs filled with money and candy] - and each person receives a handmade Easter card [some are light up cards] - treats, and money in their Easter basked. It is one of the Most Wonderful Times of the Year. God Bless. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Easter was once a happy holiday to celebrate. We would always travel to my grandmothers to celebrate with the entire family. I am the oldest of 11 grandkids and since I was 5 we have all gotten together to eat, egg hunt and just visit. My grandmother passed away this past November so I couldnt celebrate like we did without crying at the thought. Were not a very religious family but we still celebrate the holiday. Hopefully future Easter's can start to be celebrated like we used to.

We love going to church in the morning and heading to breakfast right after. We always go visit my grandma at some point of the day because we brightens our day! And my bday falls around the same time, so sometimes we celebrate my bday during dinner! We did that this year; it was great!

We celebrate by being thankful for the lenton season, going to mass where we are all involved in a church ministry. Family gathering for a cookout and just enjoying the laughter and joy of family. Our kids are grown(pre-adults, 18-25). Family fellowship of past and present, it in the end giving thanks for the human sacrifice of our Lord and savior.

I celebrate Easter by spending time with my family. We color eggs, have the kids look for their Easter baskets, do an Easter egg hunt and have a ham dinner. We remember what the day is all about, Jesus rising from the grave after dying to save us all. He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Hooray, spring has sprung! April has finally arrived and brings with it the promise of warmer weather and longer days. It's also the time to wake up from our winter hibernation and get moving outside. As the temperatures continue to rise, folks will be breaking out their bikes, rollerblades, scooters and walking shoes. There isn't a better time to catch a case of spring fever. Throughout Lima and Allen County there are more opportunities for healthy-active living than ever before. We have seen infrastructure improvements such as additional bike paths, bike lanes and hiking paths that add to the existing amenities available right here in Allen County. There is no better time to discover, or rediscover, what is available right here is in our own backyards.
Bluffton boasts Allen County's newest walking and biking pathway – The Lions Way-Augsburger Road Pedestrian and Bike Path Project which connects Elm Street to the Riverbend residential housing development and Maple Crest Retirement Community. In Lima, the Rotary Riverwalk/Ottawa River Bikeway is an Allen County attraction that should not be missed. Whether entering the bikeway at Heritage Park, the Lima Family YMCA or Ottawa Metro Park, it's a great way to enjoy a ride, walk or jog in Allen County while connecting with nature. The Johnny Appleseed Metro Park system offers parks and options for all types of healthy activity seekers. Spring is also a great time to play disc golf at Ottawa Metro Park, take a hike at Deep Cut Park along the Miami-Erie Canal, walk through Kendrick Woods, bird watch at the Lippincott Bird Sanctuary, spend a family day at Hermon Woods or take your horses to the bridle trail at the Allen County Farm Park.
The various city, town and village parks also have much to offer throughout Allen County. Finally, to help bring it all together, Lima/Allen County RTA is doing their part by providing bike racks on each of their buses. That means anyone can ride their bike to a bus stop, and after their stop, can get back on their bike to continue their journey. Whatever activity you are seeking, you can find it in Allen County. We encourage you to try a new park, activity or trail that maybe you did not know existed or wanted to try but never have. Now that winter is in our rear-view mirror, it's time to get active throughout Allen County!

How many times have you wondered who the future leaders will be in your organization?
When I listen to organizational sponsors express their needs for leadership development, it can be framed as a need to shift people from almost ready to ready NOW. Coaching is a significant way to develop high potentials into emerging leaders. Here are three ways a coach can help:
- Identifying strengths. Coaches can assist leaders in identifying and understanding how to leverage their unique gifts.
- Practicing new skills. Coaching creates an environment in which leaders can discuss and practice new skills and behaviors.
- Developing more advanced skills. Coaching causes leaders to mature and move past problem solving toward an increased ability to manage paradoxical situations.
Coaching provides a process for helping leaders deliver on their best intentions. Supporting a high potential manager with a coach creates a double impact: as the coach draws out information, ideas, solutions, and high level thinking from the emerging leader, the leader can, in turn, draw out information, ideas and higher level thinking from their people. Thus, the emerging leader encourages self-reliance and ownership of the work that's being done by their direct reports.
Coaching has the potential to create an organizational cultural shift where future leaders continually develop future leaders.

Combining essential hematology content with the diagnostic features of an atlas, Veterinary Hematology: A Diagnostic Guide and Color Atlas delivers all the information you need to accurately assess and diagnose the blood diseases of common domestic animals — including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and llamas. This all-in-one resource utilizes a clinically-oriented and user-friendly approach to guide you through the processes of selecting relevant diagnostic tests, collecting and preparing samples, interpreting sample results, and determining their clinical significance. High-resolution photomicrographs, full-color illustrations, and excellent schematic drawings, tables, and quick-reference algorithms help you clearly visualize these concepts and procedures.
"The user-friendly layout of clear and colourful headings and subheadings makes information easy to locate, and it is presented in an engaging manner...A real assest of this book lies in the apprendices, where the reader will find extremely useful algorithims that provide at a glance diagnoses for commonly occurring haematological problems, such as regenerative anaemia and plateley/ coagulation deficiencies...Overall, its key features all combine into a book that would benefit both veterinary practitioners and students alike- providing a useful revision tool to both parties, as well as encouraging the advancement of knowledge across the haematological field."
Veterinary Record, April 2012
"This practical book combines clear explanations of the various sampling and coloration methods, physiology of the blood cells and an impressive collection of pictures.Where relevant, clear boxes summarize the key clinicak features and diagnostic hypotheses...This is a good tool to sit next to the microscope."
Tomorrow Vets, January 2013
"This book is designed as a ready reference for all with an interest in veterinary haematology, from the student of veterinary medicine through to t he specialist in clinical pathology. This is a new edition of a previously published book and I think it will be universally seen as an improvement on what was already an excellent resource. Without doubt, the feature of this book which distinguishes it as a must-have is the number and quality of illustrations, both photomicrographs and drawn figures...The style of this book is to present haematology from a physiological and pathophysiological perspective. Chapters are divided into sections on erythrocytes, leucocytes and coagulation, rather than being divided according to diagnosis: for example, infectious diseases, neoplastic diseases, intoxications. As a clinician I find the chosen approach more useful as it supports a problemoriented approach to the case management style of learning more than the scholarly approach to learning which starts with the diagnosis and works backwards.

The role of the leader places particular responsibilities on the post holder. One that all too often gets addressed poorly is thinking about the future. Two things drive this.
There is so much pressure to fix the day-to-day issues; we fix one and another two or three arise. It's like chopping off the top of an iceberg: one tenth of the nine tenths was below the water surfaces. We jump from one problem to the next and before we know it, the future has overtaken us. I am not suggesting you ignore these issues – you should not! You should however carve out time for reflection on the bigger picture and the changes that are going on around you.
Even those that find time often assume that next year will be essentially a continuation of this year. That might be ok in slow moving industries where competition is limited and technology is not a factor but do such industries exist anymore? Most of us face competition, both from direct competitors, new competitors and from other ways customers can spend limited time and money.
Here are five questions you must answer to shape the future of CS in your company.
1. What outcomes do customers want that we are not serving?
No software product I have ever encountered does everything, which suggests that there are opportunities to extend your reach to solve other problems and aspirations customers grapple with. This requires a deep understanding of customers that surveys and focus groups are unlikely to uncover. Only by studying your chosen customers and their work can you identify effectively 'new' needs. The best approach I have come across is job or task mapping: documenting what your target customers do and where their needs are not served effectively by existing approaches and technology.
One other technique I have found invaluable (for B2B providers) is seeking an understanding of your customers' customers. This can put you one step ahead of your customers and your competitors.
2. How can we use our product to guide better customers to achieve their goals?
Much of what we do in customer success is fill in the gaps in what our product should do. This is the first tenet in the Customer Success 2.0 Charter and covered in greater depth in this blog. If we are to scale the business significantly and and profitably, we have to get out of this mindset of every n new customers requires another CSM. Productising the discovery, delivery and tracking of a customers' goals is the best way to scale.
3. What technologies and business models are emerging and how will they change our customers' lives?
The world is full of people who have said "That will never take hold" who have been proved wrong by those that have done it. Oracle's Larry Ellison initially dismissed cloud computing/SaaS and lost ground to Salesforce in the CRM market as a result. The recurring revenue model is now spreading outside software: Porsche have recently announced a $2,000 per month subscription that allows members to drive a selection of their models. It is an interesting fact that no company that led in one wave of technology has ever gone on to lead the next wave. Real change starts in the margins, at the edge so keep an eye on them. I often look at Google search stats to see how new ideas are developing and growing.
As above, extending this understanding to your customers' customers can also help.
4. What technologies and business models are emerging that can change how we deliver value to customers?
Whilst the research is the same as the above, the application is different. Do new technologies allow us to enhance our product, scale more profitably, build better insights and execute for customers more effectively? Don't limit your research to new forms of functionality; infrastructure is a key component of any SaaS business and new ways of building applications can have a significant impact on the ability to deliver an application that better meets customers' needs.
5. How can we engage better our people to deliver value to customers?
Some have said that CS 2.0 is about removing people from the process: the end of CSMs. It's not, although I do see a distinctly different focus for them, which I will address in a forthcoming blog.
I do not think there is any radical new thinking on this front, although I do think there is a massive gap between good practice and common practice. All too often, so called leaders still view people as resources. I have never met anyone who gets up in the morning, looks in the mirror and says "Thats a great human resource!"
I have always looked for ways to engage people better, which to me comes down to the following:
- Understand and if necessary, help them develop their life goals
- Give people a purpose for their job beyond earning money
- Tell them honestly how they are performing, what they are doing well and how they can improve
- Invest in learning and developing and especially on-the-job coaching
- Give them the opportunity to share their concerns and, most importantly, shape their job
- Recognise their successes publicly with a generous spirit and no, that does not mean money
Making a start
For me, these five questions are not something to schedule a couple of weeks before the annual budget round, although implementing some of the learning will need to be built into plans and budgets. They are questions that a CS leader should have at the back of their minds constantly.
I get a lot of my ideas not from studying the work of others in CS, although I do that but from researching other business functions and disciplines. I am a great student of emerging technologies and research into how people think. I set aside an hour, twice a week just to research. I am an avid consumer of TED talks, especially those exploring human nature.
One way to develop new ideas is to set outrageous goals. A CEO once asked me how could he scale the CS function ten-fold? I took that and asked how could it be scaled 1,000 fold. That pushes thinking in different ways, forcing you to explore discontinuous approaches.
Be unreasonable!
I think this challenge is best summed up by the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw who said "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Go forth and be unreasonable!

|Hoya isabelchanae
Rodda & Simonsson
DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.68.8803
A new species of Hoya R.Br. from Sulawesi (Indonesia), Hoya isabelchanae Rodda & Simonsson, is described and illustrated. It is one of the largest flowered species in Hoya section Acanthostemma (Blume) Kloppenb. Its flowers are of comparable size to those of Hoya benchaii Gavrus et al., Hoya kloppenburgii T.Green, Hoya rundumensis (T.Green) Rodda & Simonsson and Hoya sigillatis T.Green ssp. sigillatis, all from Borneo. Among Sulawesi species it is compared with the vegetatively similar Hoya brevialata Kleijn & van Donkelaar and Hoya pallilimba Kleijn & van Donkelaar.
Keywords: Borneo, Cultivation, Gunung Boliohutu, Malesia, Marsdenieae
Hoya isabelchanae Rodda & Simonsson, sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Among Sulawesi Hoya species similar to H. brevialata and H. pallilimba in habit (prostrate and pendant epiphyte), lamina shape (convex round to elliptic) and inflorescence type (positively geotropic, convex) but separated because both H. brevialata and H. pallilimba have smaller flowers (c. 5 vs. 8–10 mm in diameter in H. isabelchanae) with a finely pubescent corolla (vs. setose corolla in H. isabelchanae).
Type: Indonesia, Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Gunung Boliohutu, 400 m, 23 Apr 2002, S.M. Scott 02-116, grown on at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (Acc no. 20021229), Sep 2012, C.E. Berthold 0013 (holotype: E; isotype: SING)
Etymology: Hoya isabelchanae is named after Isabel Claire Chan Yuen Ching, late daughter of Elisabeth Chan, Singaporean patron of botanical research and a gardener with an interest in Hoya.
Distribution and ecology: Hoya isabelchanae is only known from the base of Gunung Boliohutu, Sulawesi, where it was collected as a sterile cutting in 2002 and brought into cultivation at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh where it regularly blooms in a heated greenhouse from May to October. The species was collected in primary forest and it was growing in shaded but exposed area on a decaying tree 12 m tall. A further collection is widely available in cultivation under Gerard Paul Shirley number GPS10161 and 7-35 http://www.paulshirleysucculents.nl/shop_hoyas.htm [accessed on 24 June 2016]. This accession is apparently also from Sulawesi but no further collection information is available.

His dad, plumbing contractor Phil Walz, whose other son continues to run Walz Plumbing in suburban Chicago, bought the place 20 years ago this winter.
"I just didn't want all my eggs in one basket," Phil replies, when asked why he made this rather curious purchase. Usually if a plumbing contractor wants to diversify he'll get into heating. "Knowing plumbing and pumping as I did I thought this was a natural."
Phil also knew the marvels of hydronics and radiant heating, in particular — which is exactly why we traveled up to Portage earlier this year. Radiant tubing is buried just about everywhere, providing heat for all five buildings, and melting snow on the walkways, steps and, of course, the ambulance pad.
"We've got everything here but a Hartford Loop," Phil jokes. Our tour mystified us more than a little, what with manifolds located behind the bar and all. And both Phil and Rob said that they're probably pushing the envelope in how far they take advantage of radiant heat's flexibility — literally and figuratively. Heck, there's even a snow melt system in the roof of the ski rental shop. "With people walking in and out of double doorways all day long, radiant is the only way we could keep people comfortable and our heating bills manageable," Phil says. "The tremendous heat sink of radiant slab just can't be beat." The resort even came close to running out of oil one day since the heat still seemed to be "on."
Radiant Pioneer: Hydronics has intrigued Phil ever since his early contracting days. What other contractors were afraid of, Phil either went ahead and built or troubleshot. "I did my first radiant job in 1957. Copper tube in the ceiling and in the floor; it was the best darn system there was."
Radiant systems in the Midwest were few and far between back then and are probably fewer and farther apart today for most residences in this part of the country. "I just despise the forced air system I have in my own home," Phil says. That may go a long way in explaining the energy Phil's put into Cascade Mountain. Besides the extensive use of radiant, Phil expanded from just eight trails to the current 26, and from four snow-making guns to 134.
Comfort aside, Rob points out the sheer practicality of radiant. "We've got to make the snow where people want it and get rid of it where they don't. There's a big safety consideration in having the snow melt in the sidewalks."
Aesthetics come in play, too. "People pay for nice, white snow," Rob says. "If it wasn't for the snow melt, the snow would be dirtier looking because of all the muddy slush."
