Product description
Nobody has had a greater effect on writers, teachers, and editors in recent decades than William K. Zinsser. Now, in "Writing Places," he describes more than fifty years of writing and teaching in a series of unusual locations, starting with his first job at the legendary "New York Herald Tribune" and including freelance stints in lonely apartments; a decade as master of Branford College at Yale, where his office was under a carillon; and various quirky offices in New York, one of which had a firepole. Each place taught him valuable lessons that shaped the influential writer and teacher he would become. Written with humor, elegance, and vividly remembered detail about the men and women who kept crossing his life, Zinsser's "Writing Places" will delight anyone who dreams of writing his or her own distinctive story.

What is a Swap Meet and How Does It Work?
********* To find out what is happening in your area, check the Mid-Atlantic forum and its Conversations, and the Get-Togethers forum. Or check the local Pennsylvania, Virginia, or New Jersey forums.
* Posted by: rustynail z10 MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 02 at 6:31 Basically, what we've done in the past is this:
We pick a location and a date. Then the type 'A's start working. (I'm very shy so I'm merely the silent keeper of the lists.) You get all excited so you run out and dig and pot what you can spare and share; then you worry about whether you've dug and potted enough so you run back outside and...well, you repeat that process over and over until the day of the meet.
We have had MD and VA swaps in the Fall and there may be a NJ one also. Wow! We're quite into this! The MD one is our 3rd that I know of (Fall 2002). Most of us bring extras that we're willing to give away but of course, special plants you should arrange to trade; there are some very sophisticated gardeners in our group who can match your best with theirs. Watch 'Conversations' for more news and/or search the past pages. I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time and that it will be drearily rainy come swap day but if you let yourself go, you'll be a true MAGer in no time. Like everyone else, I always plan to stay an hour or so but end up leaving long past that time; I bring my DH to remind me that I have a home.
Fun and funny people in this Forum--I sure like them.
* Posted by: Treehouse z7 MD USA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 02 at 12:48 Swaps can be lots of fun, and they are done different ways. You got the Mid-Atlantic style from rustynail.
The Lancaster, PA, style goes like this. There are no or very few prearranged swaps. You bring 12 plants for the exchange, something to eat for the picnic, a chair cuz Skeeter doesn't have a lot, and a card table to hide your new babies under. Some people brought little red wagons to haul their choices around rather than walk to and fro with the plants. You sign in, get a nametag and report the number of plants you brought. Your trades are put out in a specified area, and then you 'shop'- walk around and drool over all the goodies that are there. Eating is done BEFORE the swap- you need the energy and AFTER the swap cuz you are exhausted. At a specified time the swap leader gathers all the drool laden people. The swap leader reminds you about good manners and no fighting, calls out 'GO' and then you go and get the goodies you were drooling about. You take as many plants as you brought. There was such a variety that if you didn't get your first choice there was another beauty waiting for the taking. This is good for around 35 people. The main point is to socialize, and have fun.
* Posted by: rustynail z10 MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 02 at 20:05 Well, darn, Treehouse, that 'shop til you drop' approach takes all of the fun out it though you've got the eating and socializing part down pat! I had a blast scoping out my...

BHIMAVARAM: A school van reportedly ran over a three-year-old girl in bypass road area in the town on Monday evening, leading to a protest by the locals.

DEFINITION of 'Negative Arbitrage'
The opportunity lost when municipal bond issuers assume proceeds from debt offerings and then invest that money for a period of time (ideally in a safe investment vehicle) until the money is used to fund a project, or to repay investors. The lost opportunity occurs when the money is reinvested and the debt issuer earns a rate or return that is lower than what must actually be paid back to the debt holders.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Negative Arbitrage'
As an example, XYZ issuer distributes $50 million in municipal bonds paying 6%. The issuer takes in this money, and then invests it at 4.2% for a period of one year, because the prevailing market will not pay a higher rate. The issuer has lost the equivalent of 1.8% interest that it could have earned or retained.

Well both fighters tone has changed from the last press conference. Hopkins is no longer smiling and attempting jokes like he was yesturday. Weather it's going to work in the ring or not is one thing, but Jean Pascal has gotten under Hopkins's skin..which should not be up for debate, now he has to capitilize on it now.
Don't understand why Hopkins and his people continues to bring up his victory over Roy Jones Jr. like it actually means something. Jones was the definition of a shot fighter, coming off a 121 second defeat in a tune up and still couldn't look impressive or stop him. Hopkins embarressed himself in that fight and would have settled for a DQ the way he was carrying on complaining, crying and rolling around the ring more than throwing. Roy was just countering back to Hopkins dirty fighting. Same thing with the De La Hoya fight which doesn't mean much. Hopkins is a great fighter who gets better with age & seems to be a smart guy but it gets a bit tiring hearing him talk himself up all the time and complain. The guy seems to be good and giving it, but not great at taking it when it comes to insulting and degrading his opponents.
All of these anger and emotions from both fighters shall make for a very interesting fight.

have: captain kirk - want 'star trek' types
With the new movie almost upon us, I thought I'd like to get more "Star Trek" named hostas. I can probably do 3 trades from my "Captain Kirk" of 5 eyes or so each. Looking for any Hosta with a Star Trek name, except Vulcan, which I already have. I don't even know if there are any more, but what the heck, I'll take a shot.
I too have a hosta fetish and some Star Trek hostas. In addition to Captain Kirk, Vulcan, and the aforementioned Enterprise, there is Starship. I have Kirk and Enterprise, and I declared to myself that 'El Capitan' is also a Star Trek hosta! (If you are a real fan that will of course make sense.) Unfortunately, I just got these 3 hostas 2 years ago and they are not ready to split yet. Otherwise I'd be glad to arrange an Enterprise/Vulcan trade...
Check out the link for pictures of the hostas:

Prostrate health is vital for optimum sexual health in men. You will learn the basic technique for prostate massage the secret to men's sexual health success.
Today's modern lifestyle is the primary reason that men have prostate problems. Unhealthy eating habits, continual sitting, and the constant pressure of sexually performing are the main contributing factors to prostate diseases.
Pain in the prostate
Infection of the prostate
Erectile Dysfunction & Impotence
Cancer of the prostate
Primarily 99% of prostate problems is caused by unhealthy blood/or the lack of blood flow. Also being over sexed [having way too much sex] can lead to all manner of prostate problems including prostate pain.
You can have healthy blood and still suffer from prostate problems. The secret to a healthy prostate is to get adequate blood flow to the prostrate gland. That means a consistent supply of oxygenated blood flowing to the prostrate. Prostate massage is excellent for getting the blood flowing.
Ever cut yourself and noticed that your blood is a bit sticky looking, not free flowing like water?
The body is not oxygenated enough.
Firstly, you need to get the blood flowing. Prostate massage helps in relieving prostate congestion by getting the blood moving.
Prostate massage is simple and easy to do. You can do it safely yourself as you are the one controlling the movements.
"The finger up the butt method" is the most effective prostate massage. This is an internal massage.
Your longest finger may not be long enough to perform the prostate massage and get adequate stimulation to the entire prostate gland. X marks the spot -You may need something a little longer.
There are specifically designed prostate massage tools that allow painless and pleasurable self-massage. They are smooth with a rounded edge, are not too thin or too fat.
Remember to always have clean hands/fingernails and lubricate the prostate massage tool well before inserting it into your anus.
A clean start - Emptying your bowels before you start is a good idea. If you can do it of course, not a necessity, so don't get all flustered if you can't.
Make sure that your hands and fingernails, lubricate your finger or prostate massage tool with lubricant well.
Next, get onto the floor on your hands and knees, "Doggy" position.
Gently does it. Slowly and gently insert the lubricated finger/prostate massage tool into your butt approximately 4-5 inches.
Located right beside your bowel where your finger/prostate massage tool is now situated is your prostate. Put a little bit of pressure forward, toward your prostate gland. Most likely it will feel tender. Gently and gradually massage this area.
Continue maintaining the light pressure. Slowly slide your finger/prostate massage tool back out approximately 1-2 inches. You may notice some fluid coming out of your penis as this is the same technique for prostate milking.
The prostate gland is usually the size of a walnut. You can feel when you move past it as the intense sensation will stop.
Now, release the light pressure gently. Slowly and gently slide your finger/prostate massage tool back in again and repeat this process for about 5-10 times. If you are feeling too uncomfortable discontinue the massage. Try it again later when you are feeling more relaxed.
A hard on is a natural response, simply enjoy your pleasurable feelings as you massage.
Last but not least, place gentle pressure onto the prostate gland and hold for a count of 7.
Give a little wiggle, release the pressure. Relax for a minute, and repeat once more.
Slowly extract your finger/prostate massage tool from your butt and you're finished your prostate massage.
Immediately after your prostate massage you will more than likely feel that you've just done a workout. That's because you have. You have stimulated the blood flow to your prostate area and may notice that you could be a little sore. Just like after a workout, the day after is when you feel the sorest. What you have also done is release the congestion from the prostate [stagnant blood with toxins].
You'll feel more energized with each prostate massage. It is a great massage for optimum sexual health.

TIAA-CREF Asset Management manages a wide range of assets spanning a variety of portfolios. Learn more about how we implement our innovative investment strategies through these short case studies from around the globe.
TIAA-CREF began investing in timberland in 1998, before many other companies were even aware of the value of sustainable production.
In addition to increasing the long-term value of the investments, responsible stewardship of our timberlands provides additional benefits for future generations.
For example, we recently acquired a 142,000-acre forest between the Clatsop State Forest and the Oregon coast. Along with the Campbell Group, we launched initiatives for the improvement of water quality and enhancement of fish breeding habitats in that area.
We've also supported the restoration of the Circle Creek stream by state and federal fish and wildlife authorities and the Necanicum Watershed Council. Restoration included:
A second phase of the restoration project — cooperating with the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board — involved building five "fish-friendly" crossings and removing a road.
Other examples of our involvement in environmental improvement activities for timberlands are:
At each location, we applied our policy of ensuring sustainable, responsible investments.
To ensure the sustainability of our timberland investments, TIAA-CREF places strong emphasis on environmental stewardship and works only with managers or partners who are in alignment with this philosophy.
Almost all of our timber investments are third-party certified or are in the process of being certified under sustainable forestry management programs, like the Forestry Stewardship Council or the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. These groups make sure forests are managed to the highest social and environmental standards.
We often partner with universities to support forest research, working to advance knowledge of forest-management and tree-improvement programs.
Our investment focus has been to achieve attractive, risk-adjusted returns, while building a global portfolio of high-quality, sustainably managed timberlands that can be held over the long term.
The environmental equation is attractive—a forest is like a wood factory, using solar energy to produce wood. The energy needed to produce timber is more economical than steel, concrete or plastic, for example.
The investment opportunity is also attractive as global growth generates increasing demand for timber products.
TIAA-CREF now manages a forestry portfolio of over $1.3 billion, and growing—with the investments covering 840,000 acres across 23 states in the U.S., and seven other countries.
But while a timberland investment provides a broad range of revenue opportunities, it can also help society advance to a more sustainable economy. Timberlands help reduce CO2 emissions, provide sources of renewable energy for cleaner burning biomass facilities, and are potential sites for wind farms.
TIAA's Timberland investments are just one of many investments of TIAA's General Account, an account solely owned by TIAA that is not available to individual investors and whose performance is not directly allocated to any specific contract or obligation. TIAA's General Account invests in a broad range of diversified investments to support TIAA's contractual guarantees and business operations.

Daily oil usage is expected to rise to over 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) by 2030 1; so, the market for oil, coal, natural gas, and alternative energy sources is steadily increasing.
While world food, stock feed and bio-fuel demand is increasing, the global supply of arable land is shrinking.* This imbalance underscores the investment logic of TIAA-CREF's strategic acquisition and responsible management of prime agricultural land around the globe.
Anticipating the economic momentum of sustainable food production, TIAA-CREF has established a portfolio of strategic agricultural assets in some of the world's most productive areas. The organization has acquired more than 400 farms located across the U.S., Australia, Brazil, and Eastern Europe.
In the TIAA-CREF agriculture portfolio, social responsibility goes hand-in-hand with global investing. The organization's analysts recognize the value of international investing in socially-responsible and environmentally-friendly ways. This idea pervades many of the organization's investment decisions.

ID of older dwarf nephrolepis ?

Hello all -
I have had this fern since the early 80's, it was a plant of my grandmother's that I have propagated and kept alive and going because it is such a nice little Boston Fern. Would anyone know what variety or cultivar this is? It never grows much taller than 8" or so, it hasn't reverted or changed at all through the years so it is stable. Normally it is happy in a 4" pot, but some older plants that are growing strongly can fill a 6" pot easily.
I have never known this fern's name - any ideas? Thanks!

"We move through a throng of Sleeping Princesses, Belles Dames sans merci, Cinderellas, Wicked Witches, Powerful Wizards, Frog Princes, Lucky Third Sons, Ogres, Dwarves, Sagacious Animal Helpers and Servers, yes and Heroes and Heroines, in a world that is nothing less than an enchanted landscape."
— Robertson Davies
Myth, magic, and miracles, freaks, saints, and devils—such is the world of wonders unleashed by a simple snowball thrown in the village of Deptford in 1908.
Fifth Business is Davies's masterwork, the book that cemented his reputation as one of the great storytellers of our time. When the book appeared in 1970, he had already published the three books of his Salterton Trilogy, which won him recognition in his native Canada as an incisive cultural critic and an endlessly entertaining novelist. He had struck a note near Mark Twain in his portrayal of small-town culture, satirizing the residents' pious absurdities without seeming cruel, dramatizing their dreams and good intentions without becoming sentimental.
With Fifth Business, he plumbed new artistic and spiritual depths. The opening scene, which he envisioned taking place at his boyhood home in Thamesville, Ontario, haunted Davies from the first time it appeared to him in about 1960 until he began to draft the novel ten years later: "It was simply a scene that kept occurring in my mind, which was of two boys on a village street on a winter night—I knew from the look of the atmosphere that it must be just around Christmas-time—and one boy threw a snowball at the other boy. Well, that was all there was to it, but it came so often and was so insistent that I had to ask myself, Why is that boy doing that and what is behind this and what is going on?"
Many elements of the novel that emerged from this vision were drawn from Davies's early childhood. Like Dunstable Ramsay's father, Davies's father was the one-man publisher of a village newspaper, and Davies grew up in the newspaper business. "In a newspaper family," he said, "you learn not only all the news that's fit to print, but all the news that is not fit to print, and you acquire an insight into human nature and the essence of a community which is very hard to acquire . . . in any other way."
Like his protagonist in Fifth Business, Davies was raised in the Presbyterian Church. Although he eventually rejected its particular doctrines, he retained a strongly religious temperament. His spiritual explorations ultimately found resonance in the works of Carl Gustav Jung. "Orthodox Christianity has always had for me the difficulty that it really won't come . . . to grips with the problem of evil," Davies said. "What looks good can be pushed to the point that it becomes evil, and . . . evil very frequently bears what can only be regarded as good fruit." Jung had portrayed God as a psychological reality that embraced polarities of good and evil, light and shadow; the devil is an inextricable part of him. One had to confront this shadow face-to-face in order to live a moral life. "The devil is the unexamined side of life," Davies said, "and the great evils spring from acting without knowledge of your subconscious intentions."
Davies was also drawn to Jung's deities because they had womanly as well as manly faces, faces that are reflected in his portrayal of Mary Dempster. Here were the feminine elements he found woefully lacking in Christianity, with its focus on God the Father and the Son. In Jung's landscape of the psyche, Davies found a theoretical grounding for the diverse representations of human quest and conflict he had come to appreciate. Beyond the Judeo-Christian literary tradition was a rich world of folk tales, myths, ghost stories, and legends that were sacred in their own way, striking deep spiritual chords in our unconscious. From this same sensibility sprang Davies's lifelong interest in saints, which he, like Ramsay, appreciated not as narrowly defined religious figures, but as archetypes of universal characters and tales.
The remarkable events that unfold in this "enchanted landscape" owe much to Davies's lifelong love of the theater. From boyhood he was drawn to the traveling circus, the magic show, and the movie palace. Over the course of his career he worked for the Old Vic Repertory Company in London, wrote a dozen plays, and was one of the founders of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. His passion for theater was so intense that his novels have sometimes been criticized for their theatricality: How does Ramsay just happen to meet Paul Dempster repeatedly in his travels, and how does Surgeoner "randomly" pick Ramsay from the crowd at Colborne College? But such theatrical events—call them coincidence or fate—lie at the heart of Davies's worldview. "I'm not in any way a devotee of realism," said Davies, "and the theatre is never realistic, even when it's pretending to be intensely so." The meaningful stories in our lives are dramatic rather than naturalistic, remarkable rather than random.
This appreciation of the theater of the inner life could come only with age. Davies was in his fifties when he explored these demons of youth in Fifth Business, and the result is a captivating narrative stance. While working on the manuscript, he wrote, "It is autobiographical, but not as young men would do it; it will be rather as Dickens wrote David Copperfield—a fictional reworking of some things experienced and much rearranged—a spiritual autobiography in fact, and not a sweating account of the first time I backed a girl into a corner." Davies's protagonist frequently distances himself from immediate events, adding the tincture of age and humor to vividly recalled experience.
The unforgettable tone that arises from this perspective has been characterized as a hybrid of satire and romance. Davies somehow manages to marry these seemingly incompatible viewpoints, delighting in his own former naiveté and the follies of his youth while maintaining a fundamental earnestness about Ramsay's aspirations. It is the voice of a man at mid-life who has taken unusual paths, who is fascinated by the possibilities that lie before him, and who has lost neither his youthful seriousness nor his sense of humor.
Despite his established reputation in Canada, Davies was little known to U.S. readers and reviewers when Fifth Business was published in 1970. The American reception was exuberant, propelling the novel to bestseller lists in both the U.S. and Canada. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt described it in the New York Times as "a marvelously enigmatic novel . . . elegantly written and driven by irresistible narrative. One thinks of The Magic Mountain and The French Lieutenant's Woman, although Mr. Davies hardly needs Thomas Mann and John Fowles to prop him up."
Other reviewers praised the remarkable range of erudition he conveys in his works. Saints and card tricks, brandy and psychology, linguistics and bearded ladies are all objects of his insatiable curiosity. Davies is modest about the range of his learning, pointing out that some academics thought Shakespeare must have been a sailor because of the convincing seaman's slang in The Tempest: "It's all hooey. Shakespeare had a few telling details which he injected into his plays that made them seem realistic, and I have the same in my novels." A veteran once asked Davies where he had served in France during the Great War, for only a soldier could have captured the mud and panic of the trenches so vividly. Davies had to reply that he was in the cradle at the time. Similarly, his fictional prescription for bringing an ailing cello back to its true voice with a poultice of horse manure was pure fancy. Even the definition of "Fifth Business" that opens the book—cited from a dull, untranslated account of Danish theater and first taken as yet another example of Davies's eccentric knowledge—was revealed to be entirely fictional when the Norwegian edition of the book was published (although the notion it conveys of "Fifth Business" in the theater is quite accurate).
The key is to be convincing, true to the spirit rather than to mere facts. As Davies described the art of writing:
If you're a writer . . . you're a descendent of those medieval storytellers who used to go into the square of a town and spread a little mat on the ground and sit on it and beat on a bowl and say, 'If you give me a copper coin I will tell you a golden tale.' If the storyteller had what it took, he . . . told them a golden tale until it got to the most exciting point and then he passed the bowl again.
His storytelling prowess earned him frequent comparisons to Charles Dickens—a comparison of which he was not overly fond. The authors he admired included Victor Hugo, Honore de Balzac, Anthony Trollope, Evelyn Waugh, and Daniel Defoe, all very different writers, but all possessing what he called shamanstvo—the enchanter quality, from the word shaman. Like Dickens, Davies had a flair for the dramatic and could sketch a secondary character unforgettably in just a few lines (the portraits of Rev. Leadbeater, Orph Wettenhall, and Boy's stepdaughter Lorene in Fifth Business, for example). But he was more daring in his experiments with form than he is often given credit for, and his novelistic objectives are decidedly modern rather than Victorian.
As Michiko Kakutani wrote in the New York Times, Davies "has created a rich oeuvre of densely plotted, highly symbolic novels that not only function as superbly funny entertainments but also give the reader, in his character's words, a deeper kind of pleasure—delight, awe, religious intimations, a fine sense of the past, and of the boundless depth and variety of life."
Robertson Davies was born in 1913 in Thamesville, a village of 800 in rural Ontario that would later be portrayed as the fictional Deptford. His father Rupert Davies, a Welsh immigrant, had worked his way up in the newspaper business to become the publisher of the Thamesville Herald. His mother Florence, Canadian born and half Highland Scot, was (like Mrs. Ramsay) an iron-willed keeper of the cleanest privy in town.
At age five his family moved to Renfrew, population 5,000, where Davies endured the miserable school experiences that are portrayed vividly in What's Bred in the Bone of his acclaimed Cornish Trilogy. A thin, unathletic child, he was the target of bullies and soon learned to fight back with his tongue rather than his fists. Davies was much happier when the family moved in 1928 to Kingston, a city of 22,000 that offered more cultural opportunities. He attended Upper Canada College, the model for Colborne College in Fifth Business, where he was active in drama and was editor of the school newspaper.
Unable to pass the mathematics portion of the exam required for university admission, he was forced to enter Queen's University as a non-degree student. Like the children of many other prominent Canadian families at the time, he eventually traveled to Oxford for his degree, graduating with a thesis titled, "Shakespeare's Boy Actors." At Oxford he was an active member of the drama society, and, after his graduation in 1938, moved to London to spend two years with the Old Vic Repertory Company, where he had a variety of small roles and wrote plays. He worked with director Tyrone Guthrie, who recognized his flair for playing grotesques and characters much older than him.
"I was the kind of actor who liked to put on a lot of makeup and humps and things," he said. "I never liked just being me, because I didn't really feel there was any me to be." It was at the Old Vic that Davies met Brenda Mathews, the company's stage manager, whom he married in 1940. Rejected for service in the World War II because of his poor eyesight, Davies returned with his wife to Canada, where he became literary editor for Saturday Night, the country's then leading journal of opinion. Soon he began writing a thrice-weekly column for one of his father's newspapers, the Peterborough Examiner, under the pseudonym of Samuel Marchbanks, a cantankerous bachelor who issued scathing opinions on Canadian life from his fictional home in Skunk's Misery, Ontario. Davies became editor and part-owner of the paper in 1946 and in the following years markedly increased its circulation and stature.
Besides publishing the Salterton Trilogy, he remained active in the theater during his Examiner days, writing and staging a number of plays. He cut a rather theatrical figure himself. With his trademark bushy whiskers, colorful vests, and broad-brimmed hats, he looked the part of a flamboyant professor even before he was summoned to academia to become Master of Massey College, Canada's first residential college for graduate students at the University of Toronto.
The years as Master of Massey produced his richest works, foremost among them the three novels of the Deptford Trilogy (1970-1975). He received the prestigious Governor General's Award for fiction for the second of the three books, The Manticore, in 1973.
Davies spent some of his happiest days during his retirement at his country home, Windhover. With his wife Brenda, also a great theater lover, he would see as many as thirty plays a year. He never ceased to write, publishing Murther and Walking Spirits in 1991 and The Cunning Man in 1994. When he died in 1995 at the age of 82, he still had plans to write another book dealing with his old age.
"He thought life was fascinating," Brenda Davies said on his death. "Nowadays not enough people think life is fascinating. . . . He was very keen that they should take a look at it as magical, fascinating and extraordinary."

I feel that this book by Robertson Davies is one of the classics of Canadian Literature. It is an extremely well written book that although short in length, covers the entire life span of the protagonist. It beautifully captures Canada during the first half of the 20th Century. The story weaves us through the complexities of life in a small Canadian town, the politics of a private boys school, the horrors of World War II, and travels to many exotic locations in Europe and South America. Universal themes of love, loss, family, and circumstance are explored. Other interesting elements of this book include the study of hagiology and magic. This book is a must read.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

I haven't read all of the trilogy but found this while searching for works dealing with World War I. Surprisingly, it combined a story of a retired school master with that of a WWI vet. If you like school-teacher-stories -- To Serve Them All My Days and the like, this will satisfy you. If you are looking for World War I material, this is a little light in content as it covers the man's entire life. Goodbye To All That by Robert Graves is a better WWI read. BUT, that said, it is an interesting and easy way to pass a few hours on a summer afternoon and is filled with interesting characters.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

No one has yet written the Great Canadian Novel, but in Fifth Business, World of Wonders and the Manticore, Robertson Davies may have given us something like the Great Interlinked Canadian Trilogy. I would recommend you buy the paperback Fifth Business/World of Wonders/Manticore trilogy. It only costs a little more than buying Fifth Business by itself, and more than likely you'll want to read the other books once you've finished Fifth Business. Fifth Business is the novel with which to start. The book's central figure is schoolteacher Dunstan Ramsay, who grew up in the tiny village of Deptford in the sugar-beet growing district of Southwestern Ontario. The town's pretty boy-slash-bully Percy Boyd Staunton hits the minister's wife with a snowball containing a rock, which causes her to go into premature labor and give birth to the underweight Paul Dempster. (This is an early 20th Century level of obstetrics, you understand.) The rest of the book is a fascinating weave of Canadian social and political history from the 1910s thru the 1960s as Dunstan, Paul and Percy Boyd (now the raffish 'Boy') Staunton are pushed together by the whims of fate. Boy and Paul become world famous in very different ways. Not bad for two kids from the sticks and Dunstan, the humble schoolteacher, has reason to envy them. Or does he? A 'fifth business' is theater talk for a leavener, a kind of enzyme agent that, while not significant in itself, makes other things happen. In the telling, both the reader and Dunstan himself come to appreciate the life he has led.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Can I plant seeds from an old rose hip?
edgossienApril 14, 2013
I recently found several rose hips we collected while traveling several years ago. Is there a chance the seeds would sprout? Has anyone had success with seeds that were several years old? If so, how should I go about it?
Thank you in advance.

The Barn at Dunvilla re-opens in style
Eric Miller walks slowly around an old barn that is now his. The clip clopping of his shoes on the new, stone tiles echo throughout the spacious, historic building.
But behind the shiny, new log-style construction and cozy gas fireplace lies a rich history that still echoes in the memories of some of the residents of Dunvilla.

A Valentine's Day spent ice fishing
For most guys, Valentine's Day usually revolves around wearing nice clothes, stuffy and crowded restaurants and a big bill - both from the restaurant and the jewelry store.
For two Hastings guys, though, this Valentine's Day consisted of fathead minnows, jumbo perch and a small northwoods cabin. And the wives were along for every minute of it.
The end result? A fun weekend getaway that even the ladies liked. Promise.

Wes Welker: In his own words

But we want to do a lot of great things in the community as far as sports fields, recreational centers, all sorts of after-school programs." →One of the first big projects was providing funds for a new weight room at Southeast High School. What has it been like to see projects like that come together? "It's been awesome. We put in (a weight room) at Douglass. The next thing you know, they win state (in football).

A few photos
I have had this hoya for 2 years.It has had buds many times but they always yellow and fall off. This time 3 buds made it.Not sure if it is cumingiana or not.I also have a noid dischida that is about to open her flowers.
If anyone knows who I am.I would love to know.
Thanks for looking.
Congratulations on the blooms Cindy.
I am not sure if your plant is cummingiana or densifolia but when my Hoya cummingiana flowers it is very sensitive to drying out. Keep your plant in very bright light and keep it moist and it should bloom well. I moved my plant because it go so big and now it does not bloom although it bloomed well when in front of a south window and under two 4 foot fluorescent tubes.
Your Dischidia is really cool, not sure on the species though but Dischidia.com would be a good place to look.
Beautiful Flowers! I love cummingiana! I have one but no blooms yet. It is still young. Did you grow it from a cutting and how long till it bloomed?
Also love the dischidia. I don't know the variety but I wanted to tell you I really like it and how it is growing. They both look very healthy and happy.
GG I live in Brazil which is a tropical country so we grow it outside, we don't need a GH or to bring inside at winter.... if this is what you asked. I have some language problems LOL!!!!!! This hoya is very big, and it is always full of blooms, all year long.
Yes, this is indeed exactly what I was curious about. I wasn't sure what Winter was like in Brazil and if you had to bring them in at all. You are very lucky! (And your English is excellent, whereas my Portuguese is non-existent >_
Thanks every one for the kind words.
Mike I knew this one liked water but I could not get the watering right.Now I wick the water and it rewarded me with 3 flowers.
Grubworn thanks for the ID.I was hoping that it was camiguin Island.I think I have read that this one has a fragrance.

Église St-Sulpice information
In 1646 work started on the twin-towered Church of St Sulpicius, lined inside with 21 side chapels, and it took six architects 150 years to finish. What draws most visitors isn't its striking Italianate facade with two rows of superimposed columns, its Counter-Reformation-influenced neoclassical decor or even its frescoes by Eugène Delecroix but its setting for a murderous scene in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code .
You can hear the monumental, 1781-built organ during 10.30am Mass on Sunday or the occasional Sunday-afternoon concert.
The frescoes in the Chapelle des Sts-Anges (Chapel of the Holy Angels), first to the right as you enter the chapel, depict Jacob wrestling with the angel (to the left) and Michael the Archangel doing battle with Satan (to the right) and were painted by Delacroix between 1855 and 1861.

Exceeds my expectations
Jennifer from Atwater, CA– Verified Buyer
I am thoroughly impressed with this product. I ordered 2 of these file cabinets which will accompany the L shaped desk with hutch that I ordered. It didn't take long to put together and the structure of the pieces are so sturdy. The slides for the drawers are simply amazing and are of excellent quality.They are a very dark chocolate color which I absolutely love and make my office look very exquisite. I have bought many furniture pieces from other manufactures and none have been made with such high quality. I recommend this product to everyone.
Love!! Excellent quality, beautifully made, drawers are so smooth!
Trista from Spring Lake, NC– Verified Buyer
I searched for the perfect lateral filing cabinet for almost a year before I found this one. The size is perfect. It can hold both legal and letter size files and still has room for storing things like paper, ink, etc. the drawers are super smooth in opening. It was put together fairly quickly and easily. The directions for assembly were on-point. The only downfall to this product is that the plastic frames that clip on to the drawers (which is how the letter vs legal size can be changed or even combined) we're broke a hen I received the package. Wayfair immediately shipped me out new ones and I was using the file cabinet within the week. I do wish it came with more of the plastic frames tho. I could use them to break up the sections in the drawers a lot easier =)
Great Value
Michael from Acworth, GA– Verified Buyer
I needed some extra filing storage to organize my paper covered office space. This piece was the right size for a reasonable price. It looks great and is capable of holding my printer. (top is rated for 200lbs) The only drawback is the drawers are only rated for 60 lbs each. I had planned to store some of my binders, but will not because of the rating. It will only have hanging files. Assembly went fine, but requires patience and a second set of hands.
Good file
Ramona from Bessemer, AL– Verified Buyer
I ordered two of these filing cabinets for a client. They were fairly easy to assemble but a little time consuming. They look good in the office. The only problem I found was that the drawer pulls were not actually metal but silver coated plastic so they didn't take and hold a screw like I had hoped. I will probably have to replace them with simple metal pulls from a home improvement store but overall they are a good value and should work well.
Great File Cabinet
Robin from Ontario, NY– Verified Buyer
I ordered this file cabinet after trying several times to order one from Staples. After the 3rd try of an unavailable product, I turned to Wayfair. The file cabinet arrived undamaged and on time. It was easy to assemble and everything fit together (no missing pieces or mis-drilled holes). It looks great in my office space, holds all my files with ease (no tipping or bowing drawers), and my printer fits perfectly on top. It's sturdy, durable, and attractive. Very happy with this purchase.
Nice looking
Betty from Fort Pierce, FL– Verified Buyer
Fast delivery. Good price. love the finish. I did have issues putting it together. The directions were not as clear as I would have liked when it came to the screws on the drawers. I was already into putting it together when the directions said you will need an assistant for this part. I had to be creative, but it worked out. I like the hangers that fit over the sides (slip on like a glove). Also, the bottom has a metal reinforcement bar. Good idea.
Cabinet to match desk
Cody from Indio, CA– Verified Buyer
I have the desk and ordered this cabinet as a side piece. It is very sturdy and easy to put together. It definitely a good dollar value. It matched the desk. It was larger than I thought it would be. You can put a lot of things in it. I would definitely recommend it. We bought several brands and returned them all.
Great value and look!
Linda from Gainesville, FL
Looks great in my new redecorated home office. Just the right size to use as printer stand with lots of storage capacity. It took a couple of hours to assemble but all the pieces and parts fit well and the finished product is just what I wanted.
Very nice
Laura from Wells, MN– Verified Buyer
This is a very nice file cabinet. I ordered three to sit next to each other along a wall in my office. I wished I would have paid a little more attention to the design, as they don't sit flush against each other due to the top overhang, leaving about a 2 space between each cabinet, just perfect for collecting dust, but difficult to sweep. Am considering sawing off the inch overhang, but will probably ruin the finish :(. Other than that, it's a very well made product and fairly easy to assemble.
Michelle from Park City, UT– Verified Buyer
Follow the directions slowly and carefully and you will end up with a beautiful filing cabinet. Durable and way nicer than a metal drawer. I also bought this one because it has the option of adding other matching pieces if I want to later :)

During her three years as Washington D.C. public schools chancellor, Michelle Rhee raised eyebrows with her tough-love approach to fixing a failing school system. And when I sat down with Rhee on "This Week," the controversial education reformer made no apologies for her rough-and-tumble philosophy.
