text: Okay. I don't want to sound negative. I am not a grouchy biddy of a labor and delivery nurse just yet.I, in fact, love labor and delivery. I love pushing with moms... I love watching them experience that moment where they meet their child. That beautiful moment where they fall in love... no strings attached... with a miracle.That aside. (Just wanted to make sure we are all clear... I LOVE what I do... sincerely.)I do have one request.Please. I beg of you.Do not come to the hospital if you think you lost your mucus plug.Please do not give to me descriptive details of what your mucus plug looked like, especially color and texture.The mucus plug is not like a drain in the bath tub. When it becomes unplugged, everything does not drain out. I promise. Most importantly, please do not... ever... under no circumstances... bring your mucus plug to the hospital in an emptied plastic butter tub... You may be proud of it, you may be excited... but it does not impress me. Sorry. What does impress me? Ruptured membranes. This I want to see, this I want to check out. Furthermore, if you insist of not parting ways with your mucus plug and if against my better judgement bring the said mucus plug to the hospital...most certainly do not show your mucus plug to the nurse... (i.e. ME) Thank you.

The Ohio Technology and Engineering Educators Association, in conjuction with TRECA (Tri-Rivers Educational Computer Association), is hosting the Ohio Technology Summit on April 16-17 in Marion. The Summit will feature speakers, sessions and discussions about STEM related topics for grades K-12.
Go to http://treca.org/OTS for more information.
Back by popular demand, the World of 7 Billion student video contest can help you bring technology and creativity into your high school classes. The contest challenges your students to create a short (60 seconds or less) video illustrating the connection between world population growth and one of three global challenges dealing with either the sixth mass extinction, available farmland, or global education. Students can win up to $1,000 and their teachers will receive free curriculum resources. The contest deadline is February 19, 2015. Full contest guidelines, resources for research, past winners, and more can be found at www.worldof7billion.org/student-video-contest.
The NEA Foundation provides grants to support public school teachers, public education support professionals, and/or faculty and staff in public institutions of higher education for one of the following two purposes: (1) Grants to individuals to fund participation in high-quality professional development experiences, such as summer institutes or action research; or (2) grants to groups to fund collegial study, including study groups, action research, lesson study, or mentoring experiences for faculty or staff new to an assignment.
The grant amount is $2,000 for individuals and $5,000 for groups engaged in collegial study. Deadlines for applications are June 1, and October 15. See the NEA Foundation grants page for more information.
The Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) in Spring of 2015 will be dual aligned, meaning that this OGT will still contain questions around Earth Science content. In districts that have realigned to Ohio's New Learning Standards, students taking the OGT this year may have missed Earth Science content. In order to help these students (and their teachers), the Ohio Department of Education has worked with the Ohio Resource Center to collect Earth Science Resources that will address these gaps.
A new safety resource is available to Ohio Schools that could prevent and alert local law enforcement to a school safety crisis. This resource – an anonymous tip line – is available free of charge to every school district and school in Ohio beginning today.
At the request of Gov. John Kasich, the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Public Safety are launching the SaferOH tip line that will accept both calls and texts 24 hours a day for schools that register for the service.
This tip line will allow students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety—whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.
"The safety of our boys and girls remains the top priority of our schools," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Richard A. Ross. "The SaferOH tip line provides another resource for schools and school districts in their continuing efforts to provide a safe and secure educational environment."
Research shows that in 81 percent of violent incidents in U.S. schools, someone other than the attacker knew something was occurring or was about to occur but failed to report it. Typically, that's because the person who knew something feared being a 'snitch' or becoming the target of the attacker or bully as well.
Every tip can remain anonymous. School safety analysts may ask for additional information, but the caller can remain secret or leave his or her contact information for later follow-up.
Schools can sign-up for the free tip line at saferschools.ohio.gov.

DBAP/DURHAM The Durham Bulls come into tonight's game carrying some pretty good momentum, on the heels of a three-homer contest on Monday that was their first win over the Columbus Clippers this season.
Columbus comes in with Triple-A Baseball's best record at 35-16, while the Bulls hold a three-game lead over the Gwinnett Braves in the International League's South Division.
The Clippers come with one of the hottest pitchers in baseball in Zach McAllister (7-0, 2.29), while the Bulls answer with Brian Baker (3-3, 6.21) who about a month ago was a spot-starter.
This time Baker comes up the winner, allowing just two hits in seven innings as the Bulls win 4-1.
When the Bulls hit the road about a week and a half ago for their annual trip to Ohio, we were still riding out a long, cool, wet spring in the Triangle. The Bulls have had an inordinate number of rainouts and delays this year—a whopping 11 so far, if I recall correctly, or about 20% of their games. While the Bulls got swept in Columbus and then took three of four games in Toledo (waiting out some major rain there, too), the cool weather trend more or less continued around here until last weekend. A torrential storm on Friday shut down businesses and flooded streets and delayed ACC Tournament games at the DBAP until the wee hours of the morning. Basically, the Rapture, a few days late.
Then out came the sun and dried up all the rain—and then it stayed out even after all the rain was dried up. It was about 95 degrees in Durham on Monday, Memorial Day. As someone in the Press Box put it, "Can't we just ease into summer?" No, sir, no we cannot. Not only has summer arrived, and suddenly; we've been enraptured into the very heat, the very heart of it, and it's going to stay that way all week. Ladies and gentlemen, start your air conditioners.
Glanville was a reporter's dream, always ready with a witty quote. Not surprisingly, after he retired he wrote baseball columns for The New York Times until leaving to take a job as an analyst with ESPN. Last year, he published his first book, The Game from Where I Stand: A Ballplayer's Inside View.
Glanville's family has North Carolina roots, and not long ago he moved with his wife and children from Chicago to Raleigh. On Wednesday, June 1, he will read from and sign copies of The Game from Where I Stand at Quail Ridge Books, at 7:30 p.m.
Glanville (@dougglanville on Twitter) graciously agreed to answer some questions via email.
Triangle Offense: You have roots/family here in NC. Is that what brings you here, or is it something else?
Doug Glanville: We decided to move to Raleigh after some wonderful years in Chicago. For quite some time, we have thought about being closer to our extended family. Now as a father of two young ones, my wife and I wanted to give them a chance to see their grandparents and Uncle Ken! My brother Ken has lived in Raleigh for the bulk of the last 20 years.
We have family in Asheville, Rocky Mount, Durham, Raleigh. Great fit for us!
Etienne Barbara's record-setting scoring streak ended at eight games Saturday, but his two assists earned the Carolina RailHawks a more important feat—the club has now won a franchise-high five games on the trot.
Barbara's turn and delicate chip to the back post found strike partner Pablo Campos in the box in the 81st minute and the Brazilian's diving header ended the stalemate with the last place Atlanta Silverbacks, still winless in the league.
The pseudo-married couple is combining well enough for Barbara to lead the NASL in goals (11) and assists (5) and the Maltese striker became the team's all-time leading scorer during his incredible streak.
He came close to extending the run, notching five shots on the night. The best of the bunch came in stoppage time when his toe poke from point-blank range was turned away by Atlanta goalkeeper Felipe Quintero.
"Today I couldn't score. I was hitting every guy," Barbara said. "Every shot was hitting someone. I should have scored the last one. I thought the keeper was going to go down or something. I don't know, it just wasn't my day to score."
But it was his day to create the goals.
Last but not least, the only live pro football area fans can see takes place Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. as the Carolina RailHawks host the Atlanta Silverbacks. There are several reasons to make a trip out to WakeMed Soccer Park a part of your holiday weekend.
High-Flying Hawks
With a record of 6-1-1, the RailHawks are off to the best start in club history. They currently sit six points clear of second-place FC Edmonton. The 18 goals Carolina has scored are six more than the next closest club, NSC Minnesota. And, only FC Tampa Bay has surrendered fewer goals - seven - than the eight Carolina has allowed.
Kind of appropriate to the current, uh, current of the Bulls, in a way, this power outage; but not for the reasons you might expect. The Bulls are in fact scoring at will lately, having put up an impressive 54 runs in their last eight games—the 6.75 runs-per-game average would be tops, by far, in just about any league. No, the problem is that, while the Bulls have hit a five-game skid, including a just-concluded four game series sweep at the hands of the IL-best Columbus Clippers (they lost earlier today, 5-3), they have allowed 56 runs.
So it makes a certain kind of sense that the power on my street went out today not because of system over-taxing—temperatures have shot up into the 90s, suddenly, prompting air conditioners to crank all the way up—but because someone drove his or her car into a utility pole at the end of the block, taking down the lines. In other words, it's an attacker's power surge, not the limitations of the local grid itself, that has done the damage.
FIVE COUNTY STADIUM/ZEBULON The Carolina Mudcats are definitely having a tough first half this season.
But they have an opportunity tonight. Having won two of the first three games of the five-game series, David Bell's club could win its first series since July of 2010 — that's 17 straight — with a victory tonight.
James Avery (3-5, 4.40) will take on Lookouts lefty Michael Antonini (2-6, 4.17), who leads the Southern League in losses.
The opportunity gets away, as Kyle Russell homers twice and doubles twice for four RBI in a 9-3 Chattanooga win.
The Carolina RailHawks (6-1-1) continued their supreme early season high, swamping the Islanders 3-0 at WakeMed Soccer Park to avenge an April 9 opening day home loss. The win also solidifies the RailHawks' standing atop the NASL table, seven points clear of second-place NSC Minnesota.
Carolina once again rode to victory behind the white hot foot of Etienne Barbara, who notched another brace—his third this year—to extend his consecutive match scoring streak to eight and his league-leading goal tally to 11. Barbara also added an assist, giving him three this season and 25 points overall, both of them tops in the NASL. (Barbara is actually tied for the league lead in assists with teammate Floyd Franks.)
They hadn't liked the show or the dinner. In fact, they walked out of the Pacino show before it was over, despite the cost of the tickets. And one of them had only eaten about half of what was on the plate.
Wouldn't it be good if, having deemed your entertainment or your food of poor quality, despite having consumed it, you were entitled to your money back?
That thought crossed my mind after after the Louisville Bats beat the Durham Bulls last night, 9-8, an ugly game in which both teams played poorly much more than they played well—the pitching especially was flavorless and amateur on both sides. If you appreciate quality baseball, there was a little to admire (there always is) but plenty to deplore on Friday, right down to the very last out.
But you pays your money, you takes your chances, like the man says (although it isn't clear which man). Maybe the baseball they serve you is bad, but there ain't no refunds, and the only games good for exchange are the ones they don't play, i.e. the ones that get rained out.
Surely Brian Baker wishes this one was.
On Wednesday, May 18, the Indy's D.L. Anderson attended a soccer match between the United States women's national team and Japan. It was a tuneup friendly in advance of next month's FIFA World Cup in Germany. The U.S. women defeated Japan 2-0 behind goals by Amy Rodriguez and Heather O'Reilly. Our report on the game is here.
I find myself not caring about any of this. Amazing how such a "strong, proud, powerful people" could lose the …

I wanted a decent dress that was comfortable and attractive (minimal boobage) for traveling, and this was pretty perfect! As a curvy hourglassy lady, it's very cute and flattering without being matronly. The medium fits well, still a smidge loose (I'm going to the equator so I want sweatin' room) with a soft material. Overall, flowy and super cute!

Whether he's blasting his critics with aggressive punchlines or simply reflecting as he watches the Rain, K. Sparks unique lyrical style can almost always be described as "intense." On Manic Monday number 29, however, the Queens native shows that even he needs to relax once in a while—taking a leisurely Sunday Drive through the streets of his city, the Queens native kicks back and enjoys the fact that everything seems to be going his way (for the most part). Sparks manages to convey his mellow mood without sacrificing the complexity of his flow, and, as always, he shows an uncanny knack for choosing a beat to fit his lyrical mood (or vice versa)—here, DJ Bobby Bob pairs jazz organ with synth-strings, giving the cut a laid-back yet thoughtful vibe. Booth readers will be happy to hear that Sparks and Bobby Bob have much more in store; in the rapper's own words, "...myself and Bobby are working on a lot of new material, so we'll be droppin a lot of dope joints soon for ya'll until our project is ready to be released…"

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
22 Jan 2014 07:43 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, Thailand
A leader of the pro-government 'red-shirt' movement has been shot and wounded outside his home in northeast Thailand, hours after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra enforced a state of emergency in Bangkok and its surrounding areas.
Kwanchai Praipana, who leads thousands of pro-government supporters in Udon Thani city, was shot and wounded by unidentified assailants in a drive-by shooting on Wednesday.
Speaking to Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler, a family member said Praipana was in hospital recovering after having bullets removed from his arm and leg in what police described as a "politically motivated attack".
The shooting comes shortly after the government introduced a state of emergency to cope with protests aimed at ousting the embattled prime minister from power.
The new measures, which cover Bangkok and its surrounding provinces, allow security agencies to impose curfews, detain suspects without charge, censor media, ban political gatherings of more than five people and declare areas off-limits.
The decree follows increasing attacks at protest sites for which the government and protesters blame each other.
Announcing the 60-day emergency late on Tuesday, ministers said they had no plans to clear the camps that protesters set up at seven major road junctions in the city.
Rather, they said they wanted to prevent an escalation of violence after deaths and injuries caused by grenade attacks on demonstrators over the weekend.
Despite the decree, most of the capital remained unaffected by the state of emergency, with a light police presence, no overnight curfew and protesters on the streets.
Political tensions
The protests are the latest episode in an eight-year political crisis that has gripped Thailand since Yingluck's older brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by royalist generals seven years ago.
The conflict pits the middle class of Bangkok and royalist establishment against Yingluck and her brother and their support base among the rural poor in the north and northeast.
Protesters want Yingluck to step down to make way for an appointed government that would oversee electoral reforms and curb the political dominance of her family.
Protesters have threatened to disrupt the election Yingluck called for February 2. The opposition Democrat Party, closely aligned with the protesters, is boycotting the polls.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, a former deputy prime minister, has rejected the election outright. He accuses Thaksin of corruption and nepotism and wants to change the electoral system to eradicate the influence of Thaksin, who lives in exile in Dubai to avoid a jail term handed down in 2008 for abuse of power.
The Election Commission said it would seek a ruling from the Constitutional Court on Wednesday on whether it could delay the vote.
Adding to Yingluck's problems, farmers, who are part of her core constituency, threatened to join the protest if they did not get paid for the rice they sold to the government under a controversial intervention scheme.

During a recent trip to Ohio I caught up with RMak, a fellow member of a motorcycle forum I frequent. Later he posted a report on our meeting and in describing me said:
"Out stepped a mountain of a man…this guy looked to be a cross between John Wayne, Justin Beiber and Bigfoot."
Kinder than many descriptions over the years.
Anyway this, for the first time ever, put Justin Bieber in my mind. You can imagine the feeling of disconnect when a week or so later there he was on the cover of…….wait for it….
Forbes Magazine.
The self-described "Capitalist Tool."
Interestingly he wasn't in there as part of their 'richest celebrities' list or some such, but as a venture capitalist and a new darling of high-tech startups. Courtesy of his manager and investment advisor. Seems a key part of their strategy is that other VC firms and entrepreneurs will be willing to invite him to join in only the very best, most lucrative deals because….
…well evidently just because he's Justin Beiber. This has Forbes positively gushing over his business savvy. Justin, buddy, you need to start reading jlcollinsnh!
Start here — Simple Path to Wealth — and refer to Step 2:
2) Avoid Money Managers. They are expensive at best and will rob you at worst. Google Bernie Madoff. Seek advice cautiously and never give up control. It's your money and no one will care for it better than you. But many will try hard to make it theirs. Don't let it happen.
When I say Money Managers, I am also referring to Investment Advisors, Financial Planners, Brokers and the like. Any and all who make their money managing yours.
Now, I'm sure there are many honest, diligent, hard-working advisors who selflessly put their clients' needs ahead of their own. Actually, I am not at all sure about that. But just in case, I put it out there in fairness to them.
Here's the problem.
1. By design, structurally, an advisor's interests and that of their client are in opposition. To do what's best for the client requires the advisor to do what is not best for himself. It takes a rare and saintly person to behave this way. Money management seems not the calling of first or even second choice for the rare and saintly.
2. Well intentioned, but bad advice is epidemic in this field. Advisors who put their clients' interests ahead of their own are, to steal a phrase from Joe Landsdale in his novel Edge of Dark Water, "rarer than baptized rattlesnakes." And then you've got to find one who actually is any good.
3. Advisors are drawn not to the best investments but to those that pay the highest commissions and management fees. Indeed, often they are compelled by their firms to sell these. Such investments are, by definition, expensive to buy and own.
4. Not surprisingly a field that provides access to people's life savings is a magnet for….
con men, thieves and grifters.
Investment Advisors earn their money in one of three ways:
1. Commissions. The advisor is paid each time you buy or sell an investment.
It's not hard to see the potential for abuse here, and the conflict of interest is stark. There is no "load" (commission) charged to buy a Vanguard Fund. But American Funds, among others, charge a princely load. It goes into the pocket of the advisor. Mmmm. Wonder which he'll recommend?
Still other funds offer a 1% (from your money) recurring management fee to the advisors who sell them. That means you get to pay a commission not once, but every year for as long as you hold the fund. No surprise advisors favor these too.
Insurance investments are some of the highest commission payers. This makes them perhaps the most aggressively recommended products advisors offer and certainly among the most costly to you. Annuities and whole/universal life insurance carry commissions as high as 10%. Worse, these commissions are buried in the investment so you never see them. How such fraud is legal I can't say. But it is.
Hedge funds and private investments all make their salespeople wealthy, along with the operators. Investors? Maybe. Sometimes.
If this weren't enough, if you're not paying attention, there is more money to be mined at your expense by "churning" your account. Churning refers to the frequent buying and selling of investments to generate commissions. It is illegal. But it is also easily disguised, principally as "adjusting your asset allocation."
Bernie Madoff
Time was, people begged him to take their money.
His credentials were impeccable. His track record too.
Only the "best" investment advisors could get you in.
Mr. Madoff paid them handsomely to do so. As did their clients.
2. Management fees. The advisor charges an annual fee to manage your money. Typically 1-2% of assets under management.
With the rampant abuse of the commission model, in recent years charging management fees has grown in popularity. It is presented as being more objective and "professional." But there are snakes in this grass as well.
First, 1-2% annually is a HUGE drag on the growth of your wealth. Let's say your portfolio earns 8% per year. 2% goes to the fee. Let's say 3% to inflation and maybe 3% to taxes and…..Suddenly there's nothing left for you. Investment returns are precious and under this model your advisor is skimming the absolute cream.
Let's hop over to our pal Dave Ramsey's site and borrow his calculator. Suppose you have a nest egg of $100,000. That's about the minimum to interest an advisor. Let's suppose you invest it for 20 years and earn 8% per year. You end up with $492,680. Not bad. Now suppose you give up 2% to a management fee. Your net return is now 6% and after 20 years that yields $331,020. $161,660 less. You not only give up the 1-2% each year, you give up all the money that money would have earned compounding for you over the 20 years.
Second, we still have the problem of a conflict of interest. It is not as pervasive as the commission model but it's still there. Maybe you are considering paying off your 100k mortgage or whether to contribute 100k to your's kid's college education instead of having them go into debt. Most advisors will consul against either of these courses. For you, depending on your situation, that may be good or bad advice. For your advisor, it is the only advice that preserves the $1000 to $2000 in annual fees that 100k puts in their pocket.
3. Hourly fees.
If you really need advice, this is the most straightforward way to pay for it. But pay for it you will. Rates of $2oo-$300+ per hour are not uncommon. You are less likely to be cheated, but you still have the challenge of knowing if the advice itself is going to be good or bad for your financial health.
4. Some combination of 1,2 & 3 from above.
That's our last option. If your advisor is using it, likely the reason is not for your benefit.
Pretty grim, eh? Here's an article written by investment advisor, Allen Roth, with some revealing admissions as to how the game is played. He certainly spells it out. Bravo, Allen!! But where he and I part company is he also provides advice on how to pick a good advisor. That's probably even more vanishingly difficult than picking winning stocks or mutual funds.
If you are a novice investor you have a two choices:
- You can learn to pick an advisor.
- You can learn to pick your investments.
Both require effort and time. But the second not only provides better results, it is the easier path.
The great irony of successful investing is simple is better. Complicated investments only benefit the people and companies that sell them. Not only do you not need complex investments, they actually work against you. At best they are costly. At worst, they are a cesspool of swindlers. Not worth your time. You can do better.
Nobody will care for your money trees better than you.
With less effort than choosing an advisor, you can learn to manage your money yourself.
….with better results.

pothos grow under CFL bulbs questions
Hello everyone.
I love this website, it's highly informative to me. I am actually stuck with this question for two weeks and i am hope that everyone could help me out.
I live in an old Victorian home which is 3 stories high and the stairs/hallways are centered in the middle with no natural light from outside. The home is currently divided into 12 apartments, there will not be any outside light coming into the hallways.
I was considering to add some greenery in the hallways to clean air because there are a lot of smokers that refused to smoke outside and the hallways is stink.
On third floor near my apartment, I would like to add about 24" pot with 10 foot wood stake that will be attached to a ceiling hook for stabilization. The first floor near the staircase, there will be another one similar 24" pot, but with 14 foot wood stake that will be screwed to the ceiling as well. Both wood stake will be covered with both burlap and window screens. (will explain why)
What I'm attempt to do is to grow Pothos (I have several varieties except Neon Pothos). They will be trained to climb on that wood stake and the areil roots will cling into or through the window screen/burlap.
I'm having difficult time thinking about lighting. I have no problems on the 1st floor, but no natural light on 3rd floor. Currently there is 4 light fixtures that has 15 watts cool white "Daylight" 6500K CFL from Home Depot. I was thinking to replace all 4 bulbs to 27watts "Daylight" CFL once the idea/planning is completed.
I've enclosed two website links for you to compare what CFL i have right now and feedback on the 27watts CFL.
Will the Pothos be able to grow in those conditions? The Hallways are between 23oC-27oC in winter and 32oC in the summer.
The lights MUST stay on 24/7/365 because of safety reason for all tenants who lives in this building.
Please give me your feedbacks and ideas.
Thank you so much!!! Maybe i'll attach a photo or two to show once the project is completed.
15 watts "Daylight" http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?D=945575&Ntt=945575&catalogId=10051&langId=-15&storeId=10051&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntx=mode+matchall&recN=112591&N=0amp;Ntk=P_PartNumber
27 watts "Daylight"
just a note. the ceilings are very high. The light fixture is hanging chandlier (sp?). The fixture hangs about two and half feet down from the ceiling on 3rd floor. All light bulbs faces upwards to the ceiling. Every halls in the building has same fixtures. On 1st floor there's 10 sockets, 5 on 2nd floor and 4 on 3rd floor.
If you guys don't think changing to 15watts is enough, I can add some floor lamp or somekind of flood light to supplement the plant with more blue light for growing once in a while.
Thanks again.
Hi Albert 135
Thanks for your quick response. The watts "hydro" for hallways is paid by landlords. They are willing to pay a bit more for more watts, which i think 27watts will not hurt the utility bill which is pleasant. They love me so much, and i am also a superintendent. Before the new landlords bought this building, all light bulbs were 40 watts chandelier type bulbs and when i became superintendent, i changed all bulbs to CFL and everyone loves how they look, and my Landlords told me that the utility bill were cut down dramatically and i'm saving them a lot of money. (They will be paying me back for the expenses).
To answer your question. The daylight CFL's has very high kelvins which is 6500K.
RIGHT NOW, the light bulbs in the hallways are 15 watts = 900 lumens each. 4 CFLs on third floor hallway, and 9 CFLs on 1st floor.
The ones i'm considering (for 3rd floor) converting to 27 watts Daylight which is also 6500 K, they are 1680 lumen each. Once the pot and plants are planted along with 10 foot totem (pine wood) and i will change the bulbs slowly so tenants won't notice with suddenly change of brightness.
The First floor hallway light bulbs don't need to be changed, i think it's bright enough downstairs because there is some sun source coming in from the front doors and back door.
I have already bought 2 CFL's 27w, 6500 k and at 1680 lumens each for my kitchen light fixtures today for testing. I have 5 pots of cuttings (pothos) in my kitchen right now to encourage them to get used to dirt/soil. They had been planted in pot of dirt last night from being in pitcher of water for almost 2 months.
Albert, let me know if this will be successful in the third floor hallway with the current light settings or converting to 27w.
Thank you so much.
I'm a bit concerned that the bulbs face up, away from the plants. How many feet from the fixture to the top of the flowerpot? I'm thinking that's a long way for the light to travel, light falls off exponentially as you move away from the fixture. However, pothos are fairly tolerant, it just might work, but I'm thinking your plants aren't good to be super full and lush.
24" is a HUGE pot for pothos, you will have to be extremely careful not to overwater. Can you go with a smaller pot?
If it were me, I would consider getting some tall, low light floor plants instead, dracaeanas would be good - corn plant, dragon plant, janet craig. Or chinese evergreens, or peace lilies.
Thank you for your response. The distance from the corner to the light fixture (3 light bulb chandelier-no shade lamps) is about 8 feet. There is one more near the staircase which is too far. If the leaves aren't growing as I expected, I'll be adding extra light by using a gooseneck lamp (place closely to the plant once in while).
I am reading a lot about Pothos, they like to be in somewhat dry side dirt. so I will be sprinkling water once in a while not the whole water pitcher.
Also, i'm thinking of placing pothos in 6" pots and place it in the 24" pot so i don't overwater. It will be packed densely, meaning adding by buying baby pothos every month. I've been growing pothos since 1989. The small pot of pothos goes between 3 and 4 dollars a piece.
Also, i'm so excited that I bought Marble Queen Pothos in a hanging basket yesterday at HD. They're hard to find.
Also your suggestions are fanstatic. I was thinking of buying Peace Lilys beside pothos (in different pot of course). I was shocked with the price tag of a giant Peace Lily, they go between 45.00 and 60.00 Canadian Dollar. Is that normal price?
thanks again
Yes, they can be very expensive, especially the giant varieties, which is a shame because they are stunning!
I think your idea of putting the 6" pots inside the 24" is excellent. Sounds like you've got a good plan - good luck!

Belo Horizonte possui uma rica produção artística e cultural. A cidade agrada aos amantes das artes plásticas, da música, do teatro, da dança e da literatura. Seus atrativos culturais estão espalhados por toda parte e alternativas para diversão não vão faltar.
Everything was great, I had my two friends stay at the apartment. Would stay there again.
Apartamento muito agradável, confortável, descontraído e espaçoso como imaginado através do anúncio, muito bem localizado, região com ótimos restaurantes e (website hidden) e minha família ficamos muito satisfeitos, retornaríamos e indicaríamos com certeza para qualquer pessoa. Fábio, foi muito atencioso e prestativo, nos deixou bem a vontade em sua casa.
This being my first time using AirBnB, I did not really know what to expect it terms of quality. However Fabio and Flavia were perfect hosts. Not only did they have the place in perfect condition, but they went above-and-beyond with helping us settle in after arriving. Fabio went through our tourist map outlining where was good to visit and what could be avoided. He was a great source for local restaurants, bars and clubs also. They even had provided lunch for us!
We encountered a mini-disaster at midnight on our first night when we broke one of the keys for the front door to the apartment. However after a call to Fabio (who was enjoying his own evening with friends) we had a 24 locksmith round in no time and crisis was averted. Again, I can only say thanks to Fabio, who provided us with a great place and was always there to help.
In conclusion, Fabio and Flavia were excellent, the apartment is stylish, open and in great taste and situated in the heart of the Savassi - we couldn't have possibly asked for a better location! Oh and Belo Horizonte was a cool place!
Fabio é um fotográfo muito talentoso e um excelente anfitrião. Minha estadia no seu estudio foi memorável. O espaço é amplo, localizado numa região excelente em BH e com um agradavel boteco bem em frente ao prédio. Fabio nos recebeu muito bem e me encantei com as suas obras espalhadas pelo apartamento. Alem disso, há muita musica boa em seus cd's, maquina de café e de quebra ganhamos um cafe da manhã. Este loft é para quem procura uma experiencia diferente mas sem abrir mão do conforto e da boa localização.
Fabio is a very talented photographer and an excelent hoster. My stay at his studio was great. The apartment is big and very well located. This is the place for a different experience, for people that love art and want a place that you feel at home. Also, you will meet nice new people.
Fábio e Flávia foram excelentes anfitriões. Além do local privilegiado, vizinhança cheia de opções e muito agradável, deixaram o apartamento prontíssimo para nos receber. Ótimos cd's, máquina de café, ótimas dicas Belo Horizonte, livros e dvd's de presente, entre outros. Foi minha primeira vez em BH e fiquei impressionado com a hospitalidade, recomendo muito! Obrigado por tudo e precisando de qualquer coisa em SP é só chamar. Grande abraço!
We had a great stay at Fabio's place in Savassi. Great location, lots of space; cool, artsy apartment. And Fabio went out of his way to accommodate us and make us feel at home, including meeting us at the apartment very late (as travel problems caused significant delays). Definitely recommended.
Fabio was specially kind and atentious during all the time we get in touch, including before I decided to book his apartment. He gave all the information I requested and also pointed out other relevant informations.
Regarding the apartment and my days there, was reallt great as well. The apartment is in the best place to stay in Belo Horizonte, near to cultural and touristical venues. An also have a lot of great restaurants and facilities in a walking distance.
Fabio and his wife received us and they were very kind and tender (they bought us some special groceries from Minas Gerais).
So, to finalize, it was a great experience. It worth it all the way!
Thank you Fabio and Flavia1
Ola , meu nome é Fabio , moro em Belo Horizonte , MG e tenho um ótimo apartamento , na melhor localização da cidade .

CA – Guardians of the Galaxy Signing
December 12, 2014 by Colin Solan
Filed under California, Comic Books, Movies, Other, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Signing and Appearance Profiles, Video Games
Press Release:
Director and co-writer James Gunn visits Amoeba Hollywood to sign copies of MARVEL's "Guardians Of The Galaxy" release on Friday, December 12 at 5:00 pm.
Signing will be limited to the first 200 people to purchase it at Amoeba Hollywood on Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray or DVD beginning on December 9th at 10:30am.
Limit of 2 copies per person for the signing. Must have receipt and attached signing ticket to attend signing on 12/12.
From Marvel, the studio that launched the epic franchises of "Iron Man," "Thor," "Captain America" and "Marvel's The Avengers," comes an unlikely new team—the "Guardians of the Galaxy." The Marvel Cinematic Universe expands into the cosmos when brash space adventurer Peter Quill steals a coveted orb and becomes the object of a relentless bounty hunt. To evade his enemies, Quill forges an uneasy truce with Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly assassin Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb, he must rally his ragtag band of misfits for a desperate battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy. Featuring amazing new characters and exclusive bonus features, this must-own blockbuster will have you hooked on a feeling… of pure adrenaline!
James Gunn Biography:
James Gunn was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri in a large Irish Catholic family. At the age of twelve he began his filmmaking career making a zombie movie with an eight-millimeter camera and an actor, his brother Sean.
Thirty years later, Gunn went on to write and direct the record-breaking Marvel blockbuster film Guardians of the Galaxy, which had the biggest August opening weekend of all-time, earning $94 million at the domestic box office. Having grossed over $700 million at the worldwide box office to date, the Marvel feature is the second highest grossing film of 2014 and has spent five weekends atop the box office, more than any other Marvel film. Guardians has not only been a massive financial success, it also garnered impressive reviews from top film critics around the world, cemented with stellar performances from Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Glenn Close, and Benicio Del Toro. Also featured in the film is his brother Sean, who played Kraglin, and was the on-set Rocket Raccoon. Knowing what an important part music plays in a movie, Gunn personally chose every song on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. The album, which featured pop songs from the 1960's & 70's, was highly praised by critics as being a secondary character in the film and is the first soundtrack comprised entirely of previously released songs to ever reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. Even prior to its release, the film garnered so much positive buzz and faith among Marvel executives that a sequel was greenlit weeks before it's opening. The Guardians of the Galaxy sequel is slated for summer 2017 with Gunn attached to write and direct.
Gunn also wrote and directed the independent feature film, SUPER, starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, and Kevin Bacon. It is the dark, comedic tale of a disturbed man who dresses up as a superhero to save his ex-wife from her drug-dealing new boyfriend. SUPER was an official selection at the Toronto Film Festival, was picked up by IFC Films, and is IFC's top selling film ever on On Demand.
Gunn's love for the comedy and horror genres coalesced in the humorous horror film Slither, released by Universal in 2006. Gunn wrote the film, which was his feature-film directorial debut, and stars Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks. The film is currently featured on Rotten Tomatoes as one of the "Top Ten All–Time Best Reviewed Horror Films." It was named "The Best Horror film of 2006" by Rue Morgue Magazine, and Gunn won a Saturn Award and a Fangoria Chainsaw Award for his work on the film.
Gunn also wrote the live action Scooby-Doo movie which grossed over $300 million worldwide and in March of 2004, he became the first screenwriter in history to write back-to-back #1-for-the-weekend box office hits, with the critically-acclaimed, re-imagined Dawn of the Dead on March 19, 2004 and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed on March 26, 2004.
Gunn got his start in the industry while attending Columbia University. He applied for a part-time job filing papers at famed B-movie studios Troma Entertainment, and was paid $150 to write the screenplay for the feature Tromeo & Juliet instead. In 1997, Tromeo became a cult hit, playing in theaters around the world, including over a year of midnight screenings in Los Angeles.
Gunn left Troma to write and star (along with Rob Lowe, Thomas Haden-Church, and Jamie Kennedy) in the 2000 feature film, The Specials, about a group of superheroes on their day off. In the same year, Bloomsbury Press released Gunn's critically acclaimed novel The Toy Collector, the story of a hospital orderly who sells drugs to finance his escalating toy collecting addiction. He also wrote, with Lloyd Kaufman, the non-fiction book All I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger, currently in its fifth printing.
In 2012 Gunn released his fist video game, Lollipop Chainsaw, with Suda 51 and Warner Bros, on Xbox and Playstation 3. In 2008 he created Xbox Live's first original content, producing seven comedy shows by horror directors, and creating his own, Sparky & Mikaela. Also in 2008, Gunn hosted the reality show Scream Queens for VH1, and began writing and directing the web series James Gunn's PG Porn for Spike.com. James Gunn's PG Porn pairs mainstream actors and porn stars in comedy shorts. It has received over 70 million hits online, has been remade by Canal+ in France, and is one of the most profitable web series of all time.
Gunn lives in Los Angeles with his dog, Dr. Wesely Von Spears and his cat, Emily Monster. He can be found on Twitter and Instagram at @JamesGunn and on Facebook at Facebook.com/jgunn.

MA – The Kitchen Signing
November 6, 2014 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, Massachusetts, Other, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Signing and Appearance Profiles, Webcomics
Artist Ming Doyle (Mara, Guardians of the Galaxy) appears at Comicopia in Kenmore Square on Saturday November 15th from 1:00 – 3:00 PM to sign THE KITCHEN #1!
About The Kitchen:
New York City, late 1970s. Times Square is a haven for sex and drugs. The city teeters on the verge of bankruptcy, while blackouts can strike at any moment. This is the world of THE KITCHEN.
The Irish gangs of Hell's Kitchen rule the neighborhood, bringing terror to the streets and doing the dirty work for the Italian Mafia. Jimmy Brennan and his crew were the hardest bastards in the Kitchen, but after they're all put in prison, their wives – Kath, Raven and Angie – decide to keep running their rackets. And once they get a taste of the fast life and easy money, it won't be easy to stop.
THE KITCHEN takes one of the most popular genres in entertainment and, like The Sopranos, reimagines it for a new generation to present a classic gangster story told from a fresh point of view.
Written by talented newcomer Ollie Masters with stunning art by Ming Doyle (Mara) and killer covers by Becky Cloonan (GOTHAM ACADEMY, Killjoys, DEMO), THE KITCHEN is not to be missed.

An incredibly sophisticated device and a quantum leap for many amateur observers, the Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium will change the way you view the celestial bodies.
Point the SkyScout at any bright star and it will instantly identify the object. Or alternatively, choose an object from the celestial database of over 6,000 objects and the SkyScoutwill guide you to it!
The SkyScout includes great information and stories about the most popular celestial objects, displayed in scrolling text and narrated with audio as well.
The SkyScoutmakes a great companion for camping and for explaining the skies to a child. It weighs under a pound and is smaller than a mini-DV camcorder.
Note: Batteries NOT included
- How It Works
- SkyScout combines GPS technology(which gives time, date & user location) with software calculating positions of objects for that moment and 3 axis sensors measuring gravitational and magnetic fields to determine the true orientation of the SkyScout relative to the earth.
- "Tonight's Must-See List"
- When SkyScout is activated, it tells the user the 10 'coolest' things to observe that evening-employing internal GPS to automatically customize the information to the user's location.
- "Constellation Lessons"
- If the user is looking at a star that is a part of a constellation, the SkyScout informs the user of this, shows a picture of the constellation & helps the user locate the other stars of the constellation.
- Updatable Software & Data
- A USB port is included for periodic updates of operating software, as well as the ability to download new data from celestial objects like the Space Shuttle or passing comets. SkyScout Update Programmer software is compatible with Windows only, and it requires an Internet connection to function correctly.
- SD SkyTour Content Cards
- An SD card slot exists for additional content offerings, such as "Astronomy for Kids".
- Tripod-Mountable
- The bottom of the device has a 1/4"-20 threaded socket so that it can be attached to a tripod, a telescope's piggypack camera mount, etc.
