Is this a Hoya?
Is this a hoya or something else (like lipstick plant)? what kind if it is a Hoya? (please ignore the two small cuttings in the same pot).
Thanks a lot.
There can be a lot of variety in carnosa leaves depending on where it is grown. I agree with GT that this is probably what it is.
Unfortunately, 99.9% (fictional statistic) of the Hoyas being propagated are carnosa, so they're just what you're most likely to end up with unless you make a concerted effort to deal with a Hoya vendor or collector.
Where did you get this one?
Fwiw, one way to find out quickly if it's a carnosa, is to break off a stem tip. If the sap is clear, it's a carnosa, if it's milky white, it's not ! I find most carnosas have sap that smells a bit like chocolate, which is what their flowers smell like to me too. Most hoyas have the milky sap, but as has been said, carnosa is the one you are most likely to find in most stores. Some nurseries will have the odd one that's not.
Aw, your frown emoticons are breaking my heart.
Yeah, when you start out collecting Hoyas, you end up with a lot of dashed hopes moments regarding BBS plants. There are around 10 different Hoya species (+ some cultivars) that you could potentially find at a BBS.
You should check out EA's Hoya page to see what they look like, in case you or your friend bump into them in future.
Aside from the carnosa cultivars, none of them are easy to confuse with your carnosa. Probably the most similar one is EA's Hoya australis, but I don't think you'd confuse them.
I didn't know there were hoyas with clear sap other than carnosa, so thanks for the info. But carnosa can be rewarding to grow. Used to have two named cultivars, H. c. Krimson Princess and Krimson Queen, which I grew together in one basket. I'm not sure why they did so well for me, but for the best part of fifteen years both of them bloomed faithfully from sometime in February to late November, every year.
If I can ever find one of my pics I'd post it. Fortunately I liked their fragrance, they smelled like chocolate to me. Both of these culitvars have pretty strongly variegated leaves, with Princess being more pink and Queen more dark red. Flowers were pink and dark red, respectively.
It was rare for there not to be at least a few open flowers on that basket at any given time during the bloom period. I always enjoyed having it around and was very sorry when I lost it. I never repotted them, being afraid I'd mess with their flowering and having read they liked being pot bound, and I've always wondered if that is why they eventually petered out.
They are ridiculously easy to find, almost anywhere plants are sold, or so it seems. Four inch pots of the variegated types are almost always available and baskets of longer vines are in every nursery. BB stores often have them too. I have two garden centres I can get to that, on occasion, have odd varieties of hoya. I just got 3 new ones that I've never had before.. but carnosa will always be a fave with me. If I could get my hands on Krimson Queen or Princess again,it would be nice, though of course there's no guarantee I'd have the same success :-).

DEFINITION of 'Market-With-Protection Order'
A type of market order that is canceled and re-submitted as a limit order if the price of the asset moves dramatically after the investor places the order. The limit on the limit order is placed at around the current market price as determined by a broker. This type of order adds a protective measure, helping the investor ensure his or her market order will not be completed at a price that is far off from the market price at the time of the order.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Market-With-Protection Order'
For example, say you place a market-with-protection order to sell 1,000 shares at the current market price of $45. If half of the order is filled at this price but the price of the shares start to fall rapidly to $35, the original market order is canceled and a limit order is placed for the remaining shares at $40. If the price climbs back to $40, the rest of the shares will be sold. If there was no protection on the order, the shares may have been sold at $35, which is far off from the market price of $45 that the investor originally wanted.

In order to plan, control, and evaluate the software development process, one needs to collect and analyze data in a meaningful way. Classical techniques for such analysis are not always well suited to software engineering data. A pattern recognition approach for analyzing software engineering data, called optimized set reduction (OSR), that addresses many of the problems associated with the usual approaches is described. Methods are discussed for using the technique for prediction, risk management, and quality evaluation. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique for the particular application of software cost estimation

Column: Slow ride
A lot of people took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend to relax. To welcome summer by getting together with family and friends. To eat large slabs of meat cooked over an open flame, drink cold beverages and think patriotic thoughts.
Not me.
By 8:30 a.m. last Friday I had embarked along with my father and brother on a leg-deadening, butt-numbing and ultimately frustrating attempt to ride a bicycle from St. Paul to Chicago.

What adhesive to use on wooden piano substrate?
An artist friend is taking part in one of those community piano projects where pianos are decorated then put outside where people can just wander up and play them. The theme she chose is the blues, and she wants to mosaic the Mississippi river on one side of the piano, and our local Connecticut river on the other. I've been tumbling dish shards (thanks again Calamity)because it has to be "touchable" clearly.
Should we use thinset on a wood piano? (It will be demolished after the "show" is over.) My concern is the stuff staying on. She also passed out a bunch of thin tiles of composite wood to people to decorate in the blues theme to attach to the back like a quilt. (I have 6 that I am decorating, 4 done.) So what do you think we should attach them to the piano with? The sponsors are supplying a heavy duty clear coat of something to paint over the whole thing when done. I'm assuming they did their research and it will work.
But how to attach?
I know. It is a lot of work, but we are doing it fast and furious without using long lasting materials. For the river, I am using mostly dishes that I had rejected for my mosaic project (too porous) but that I think will last a month outside in summer. The "tiles" for the back I am mostly painting and gluing on objects. Its kind of like the beautiful sand paintings the buddhists make then destroy. or the gorgeous chalk paintings in amsterdam and other european cities that only last until the next rain. My friend is hoping to get some of the innards to use in future projects when they are demolished.

What to plant where grass dies?
I have a mulch bed in my front yard with some Aboricola (sp) shrubs and foxtails and monkey grass growing. Here is a picture of the front of the mulch bed (notice the dirt behind the mulch bed? Nothing grows here! Help!):
Unfortunately, the mulch bed does not start at the house and there are 3 feet between it and the start of my home where, as I said, nothing grows. See below:
I had someone at the house that installs gutters and he says the grass dies here since I don't have gutters. Sounds fishy. Anyway, we did try and plant sod...but as you can see the grass died. We don't have a sprinker system in this area...so are looking for some suggestions for plants that are somewhat drought tolerant.
Now there is anotehr section of our backyard where grass does not grow either. We went to a nursery and asked them for advice and they suggested a plant known by the slang term "elephant ears"...they died a slow death over 6 months....I must admit probably because we stopped watering once they established. Here is what this section looks like now:
Finally, here is a section on the South side of the house where we can't get grass to grow:
Perhaps the only thing in common all these sections have is that they are adjacent to the home and we have no gutters on our house around them...maybe the gutter guy was right and the force of the rainwater coming down kills anything that is planted there.
Is there an alternative to installing gutters? I would love a recommendation of a drought tolerant groundcover for these sections.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Are there any groundcovers that can survive in Florida on rainwater ALONE without the need for supplemental watering?
New, if it's under the roof line, it might just be too dry and not getting enough rain.
I would tend to bet that it's something in the soil left over from when they built the house. Might even be too high alk from the plaster/stucco.
Try a real tuff plant. If it were me I would try one of the small evergreen ficus like "green island ficus"
Here is a link that might be useful:
Those are tough areas. The experts say don't put mulch up against your house because it can bring in termites, so that's probably why the front bed was done that way in the first place.
I would go with native shrubs, because they can handle our summer downpours without rotting, and our winter dryness without shriveling up. There are a few I really like, I'm sure others will have some good ideas. But my favorites are:
Spanish stopper, it makes a nice narrow, upright shrub. You could try that behind the foxtails. It's slow growing, but exceptionally hardy. It will get tall in time.
Cocoplum, under the windows, also a really hardy native, with pretty, copper-colored new leaves. It doesn't get as tall as the stoppers and it keeps its shape well without a lot of pruning, which would be a pain behind the bed, up against the house.
Coontie, another slow-growing native that's really pretty, with a lovely mound shape, no pruning required at all. But they're sometimes hard to get started. Once started, they're gorgeous, and mine took off after the first year. But I have friends who have planted them and watched them die. So I think I was just lucky. Mine are in dappled, bright shade, and like it there, though I've also seen them in sun. I think starting them in sun might be harder. Coonties host a native butterfly that is in trouble, so they have that added benefit. And they are tidy, gorgeous plants when mature.
With the coonties, I've had a bug problem. I've battled them a couple times, there's a specific bug it and the gardenia get at the same time. I was able to rub and wash it off the coontie both times, but I've been told you can just cut them down to the ground _ once they're establshed - and they'll come back up bug-free. Don't even ask me about the blasted gardenia.
For some color in those beds, you might try some crotons. They're not really native, but they're pretty hardy and like our conditions. But, as Ricky as taught us, they're actually small trees and they don't really like to be pruned into shrubs. That said, I have a mixed hedge with several crotons in it that I love. Once their treeness begins to show, you can put plants under them to hide the trunks.
Have you thought about a rock garden for the south-facing area? I'm just filling one in now, so I'm no expert, but the advice I got here on GW was succulents and desert roses. I saw a gorgeous one at Fairchild that really inspired me.
If it's a soil problem because of the stucco/cbs, I've been advised here on GW to put my coffee grounds on it to amend the soil. That's kind of a chronic solution - ie, you'll have to keep doing it. But it definitely helps where the soil isn't acidic enough. You might try that near the back door (I'm assuming that's somewhere near your kitchen) and after awhile, you could try some kitchen herbs there.
As for the gutter guy, I agree, his advice is pretty suspicious. But maybe someone else here can explain what he's...
We had the same problem...'bout the only thing that will grow there is Bromelliads..They don't need soil,can handle the beating from the rain, and store water in their cups.
I think they are ugly, but they are green and cover the ground...and interesting when they bloom
I would suggest keeping that area cleared to allow access for maintenance (painting, etc). Some Floridians put down small white crushed rock. The previous owners of our house did the same only used red rocks on top of weed barrier.
You could put plants(bushes)farther out to hide the plant-free-zone and act as a green background with shorter ones in front. Probably just my personal bug-a-boo but I don't like plants right up against the foundation (termites, etc) as previously mentioned.
I will have to go with brick chips against the house instead of white crushed rock.Since you already have RED mulch the RED brick chips match it nicely and will blend in
If you really want to grow things dig out and replace some soil.Between the brick walk and house is a great place for mints and mediterreanian herbs.The mint should stay there.
But honestly your soil looks dead. You have a hose there so things will grow if you water and give them some nice rich soil. Unless you like cactus and crown of thorns but crotons should work also.
We have rocks along the house and was thankful for that when the termite guys had to treat this year, when the roofers came through a couple years ago, and will be thankful again when the painters come in a couple more years.
I have found that Fountain grass (purple and white), plumeria, Bird of Paradise (orange), crotons, and dracaena right at the outer eaves line will grow in small pockets created in the rock bed for them and still left enough room for maintenance. (We do have oversized eaves.) Each of those plants is fairly easy to contain size-wise for me.
For some of my more "precious" plants, I have sunk 20" or larger pots in the ground filled with good soil to plant them in.
Good luck in whatever you choose!

"This card is so pretty.. I actually ordered it in white and it's just a classic and elegant look! I changed the fonts a little to fit my style better, I just love it and can't wait to send them out. In person the font and writing size is more clear!"
"I ordered the black version of this card, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I'm using a lot of bright wildflowers in my wedding, so this invitation complements the theme very well. Another reason I gave them a five star review is because of their customer service. I almost freaked out when I saw that my venue had changed addresses but hadn't called me. They changed it after 4 days of submitting my order for invitations on here! I contacted Wedding Paper Divas and they were so understanding. They sent us 200 invitations with the new address free of charge. I will forever be a returning customer. Thank you so much Wedding Paper Divas! :)"
"Oh my goodness, these came out so beautiful! Shimmer was the way to go! I can't wait to send these out for our wedding, they are elegant, modern, and just stunning! It was so easy to order, and adjustments to the wording was so easy."
"It took me a long time to decide on invitations and once I had seen these they were a must have. They turned out gorgeous. I loved how I got to proof everything to make sure that it was exactly how I wanted. The foil is the perfect touch to these invitations. They definitely leave a last impression. I am more than happy with how everything turned out"
"We added certain things to the invitation to make it more personalized to us which was no problem at all. This company is great at editing everything to your liking. The purple is beautiful and the flowers on the back look awesome! I can't wait to send these out!!"

What Exactly is Wealth Management?
Two words signifying a far-reaching kind of financial care.
Todd Siffren, CPA | Apr 23, 2012, 6 a.m.
There's financial planning and then there's wealth management.
Think of wealth management as a step up from garden-variety financial planning. One office (rather than one person) provides a range of services for a client: personal financial planning and investment management, tax reduction and estate planning strategies, and occasionally in-house legal resources. Business continuation planning, tax preparation and even budgeting and bill paying are sometimes added to the menu.
The difference is really big picture.
Financial planning usually means creating a strategy for accumulating wealth for retirement and personal goals. Investment management focuses on managing financial assets with a performance level in mind. Wealth management, in comparison, considers the total net worth of a family, a couple or an individual. It weighs financial decisions in light of an investment portfolio and additional components of the financial picture such as real estate, insurance, a business, charitable gifting and more.
Yet it is also about paying attention to detail.
Every successful professional or business owner reaches a point of delegation — there comes a point at which you can't do it all yourself. Indeed, it can be hazardous to try and keep track of every detail without help. The same goes for your finances — your taxes, your investments, your various accounts.

That Time My Kid Was Kicked Out of Daycare
By Arnebya on November 26, 2012
Because that one receipt wasn't found, we settled for an amount lower than what we'd overpaid. I still sometimes want to go by, but I'm not sure why. To have them see me and know that my boy is thriving in a "real" school setting? I don't know what type of closure I'm after but I imagine a scenario where the director apologizes and I accept but I also call her a petty heifer.
For weeks my boy asked to go to school. There were six weeks until the regular public school opened and he started the pre-K3 program. Nearly every day until then, he asked for his former teachers. I get their wanting to punish us (I don't really), but they hurt my son. There is no scenario I've been able to imagine that involves my being able to tolerate that. He's doing well in school so I'm trying not to dwell. His education is free now so I'm trying not to dwell. We told the truth, we exercised our right to prove the truth, and we prevailed; I'm trying not to dwell.
If I see the director at the mall I will try not to dwell, but I cannot promise that I won't kick her in both shins.

this stuff isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. at least not to me. i've never had problems with it stinging in my eyes, because i remove my eye make-up first with a separate make-up remover (almay oil-free eye make-up remover pads). i think that is key when you're using this product. i take about three pumps of this stuff and apply it to my dry face and neck, massage it in for a bit, then rinse it off with warm water and follow up with my olay cleanser. it did take some getting used to because it can feel a little greasy, but it does melt away the majority of my make-up. i wouldn't use this as a cleanser alone, but it's a very nice pre-cleanse. i probably wouldn't buy this again, this was a little splurge for myself. after i use this up i'll probably use baby wipes to remove make-up, which works just as well.

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I find this cleansing milk removes makeup really well. I apply 4 pumps into my hands then apply to dry skin, rub in, then rinse. After rinsing I do follow with my cleanser and Clarisonic. This takes off mascara, foundation, and lipstick. Yes, it stings if it gets into your eyes so be careful. My main gripe with this is the price. I just find it a tad bit overpriced for a simple makeup remover.

This is a facial makeup remover which didn't serve to its purpose. I just bought it and hoping it would remove my foundation. It did remove some of the foundation I put on but not thoroughly. I noticed my makeup didn't come off completely after using this. My biotherm cleanser can remove the same amount of makeup as this cleansing milk does. The Biotherm cleanser is just a cleanser, I don't expect it to remove my makeup completely. But I do expect this to remove all my foundations and concealers since this is after all a makeup remover.
So the bottom line, it does not remove makeup thoroughly and I will return it and will not purchase it again.

I dont understand all the negative reviews! This is a nice product, not sure it's worth 28 dollars. It removes my makeup in one swipe, which is what it's supposed to do. I cant imagine it working by using my hands though. I use one of those round cotton pads to take my makeup off. I used it on my eyes accidentally the other day and it didnt work so well and stung quite a bit. But for the face, this product is nice. Not sure I will repurchase, as I said before it's quite pricey (28 bucks).

Works fine for me but I don't think it's better than any drugstore brand cleansing milk. I just a milk, it takes off my makeup... And that's about it. It comes in a pump bottle, I liked that. After using this, I switched back to L'Oréal DermaGenesis milk and tonic and I like it far better. It's far cheaper, softer on my skin and it makes my skin look more radiant in the morning.
Not bad, just not worth the price tag.

Luckily I got a sample at Sephora because if I'd purchased this product, I would have returned it. I use actives everyday on my face and rarely have a problem with burning but this product burned my face all over like never before. Actually, I made the mistake of removing my moisture barrier by using Retin-A and BP together before I knew better and EVERYTHING burned after that -- which is exactly what one use of this product felt like. Soooooo disappointed!

I love Clinique products, but was disappointed with this one and will be returning...it really wouldn't take any makeup off my skin, but instead left and oily residue and some red bumps all over my face. This is surprising considering I have been using Clinique for about 10 years and never had a problem!!

So I have been using this for quite a while and found that it wasn't working, until I started following the instructions on the bottle. Before I used to use a cotton bud to remove the make up and then when I'd go to wipe my face after I rinsed it, I used to find foundation rubbing off onto the towel. However, I followed the instructions on the bottle and started using my hands to apply the milk to my face and it worked perfectly. The product melted my make up off better and found that it was pretty good. If you have issues with using your hands to apply the product, you can always add a drop of hot water to the cotton ball you have your product on to melt the product and make it more effective.

I do not think this product is as bad as the other reviews suggest. I have fairly sensitive skin, and this stuff is fine (okay, it needed some getting used to it and I did experience slight stinging, but just for the first time; I admit though I have not even tried to use it on my eyes). It removes my make-up, does not leave any residue, does not dry my skin out, does not break me out, has no fragrance (always a plus), and comes in a handy pump bottle. BUT it's incredibly uneconomical. I need at least 6 pumps to properly cleanse my face and neck, and I'm quite frustrated by the fact that a quarter of the bottle is already gone provided I only bought it two weeks ago! No way am I gonna repurchase although the cleansing properties are satisfactory; in the end it's really poor value for money.

Definately not something I would buy again. Struggling to even finish the first one when I bought it years ago. Break me out everytime I use it. (Took quite a few trials to realise this is the product which break me out) Feel greasy after each use, sting eyes when in contact, and the worst part is I CAN'T EVEN GET THE MASCARA OFF MY EYELASHES! ( Unless I rub my eyes for a couple of times which is SUPER harsh to my eyes)

Product description
In this deluxe commemorative edition, "LIFE's" editors focus on the publication's achievements more tightly than they ever have before: This is truly the best of everything "LIFE" has accomplished. In these pages are the ten best war photos ever taken for "LIFE"; the ten best photo essays ever to grace our pages (including the works of Capa and Parks and Smith); the ten loveliest pictures from Hollywood (in fact, the ten best pictures of Marilyn Monroe ever taken by such as Halsmann, Eisenstaedt and her dear friend Milton Greene), the ten best sports pictures, and, the ten funniest pictures we ever ran. The ten best pictures from the space race, and the ten most significant pictures to the human race, including Lennart Nilsson's "Life Before Birth." And, here, also, are our mistakes: Ten photographs the editors never ran. The photographs (including the sailor kissing the nurse!) that everyone thinks made the cover, but didn't. "LIFE" is renowned for its photography, of course, but we will excerpt, as well, great words that appeared in our pages: the ten best contributions from Ernest Hemingway, Jacqueline Kennedy, John Steinbeck, Theodore H. White, John Updike, Elmore Leonard and others. This is a premium volume of "LIFE", and beyond its 200-plus pages, which include a review of every "LIFE" cover ever published, there is, included here, the ultimate premium: The first-ever "LIFE" issue, with the Margaret Bourke-White photograph of the Fort Peck Dam on the cover, reprinted in its entirety, at actual size (which was really big 10 1/2" X 14") and able to be detached. We've come a long way: We, you, those places, "LIFE" itself. This book tells, and celebrates, that voyage.

Money transfers -- or remittances sent home by migrant workers -- is big business. Some $500 billion dollars circle the globe every year.
Money in Minutes looks at the business of money transfers in the context of global migration. Filmmakers follow migrant workers such as Brando Alvarenga, a construction worker in Miami who sends funds to his family in Honduras; Li Wang, a textile worker in Italy who sends money home to China; and Gauri Gurung, a cloth vendor from Nepal working in Dubai.
It Is a fiercely competitive business, and there are many companies providing the service to migrants sending money home.
But there is also a darker side, involving money laundering and smuggling rings. How do the authorities deal with this growing problem of misuse?
By Monika Hielscher and Matthias Heeder
Western Union and MoneyGram stores are scattered across the planet – almost everyone knows them. Their sight is so common to us we don't even give them a second thought unless we need to send or receive cash, as happened to me a couple of years ago in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso. Here I found myself inside a Western Union store, standing in line with dozens of locals, waiting to pick up money that was sent by family members working in the USA, somewhere in Europe or the Middle East.
Back then I wasn't aware that most migrant workers used money transfer services to support their families back home. For me, like most middle-class Europeans and North Americans, these money transfer companies are a convenient way of helping out relatives or friends in trouble, even if you have to pay outrageous fees for the service. But when talking to some of the customers in the queue of this store in Ouagadougou – mothers, sisters and grandmas - it dawned on me that migrants who sent money on a regular basis are contributing to a very lucrative business. That was the moment the project that would keep us busy for the next three years began to take shape.
In the past my wife and I have made films about the situation of migrants who face hostility in their host countries. Many films of that subject matter however focus on the migrant as victim, on the hardship of the individual in an effort to somehow touch the cold-heartedness of rich societies. Seldom do we see migrants as self-confident and courageous people determined to take their lives into their own hands for the better of their families.
The money transfer industry as a hook for a different look at the migrant population in western countries seemed a convincing concept to us, since it is the money that keeps people moving and the industry growing. So we invited the big players - Western Union and MoneyGram - to participate in the making of the documentary. But despite initially agreeing, both companies withdraw.
It was only later, after we learned a lot more about the industry, that we understood why. Money transfer is a yet unexplored territory of hidden profits, excessive pricing, money laundering, illegal financing and shareholder interests – to say the least. So why talk about it? Our initial idea - to shed light on the remittance industry as the financial infrastructure of global migration – came down to a most profane reality: it's an industry focused on maximizing return for shareholders. Period. And however effectively they can do it, they'll do it. As filmmakers we felt that it was time that we start talking about the business of money transfers - not about money transfer as an unfair and flawed system - but about fair pricing, transparent procedures and less greed of those running the business.

One of the most popular cable identification applications involves marking Category 5 & 6 network cables. The CAT 5 and CAT 6 cables are used for high signal integrity in Ethernet, ATM, telephony and video communications. In the standard twisted 4 pair, these cables have the diameter of a pencil.
EIM offers two label sizes that work very well for this type of cable. The LJSL5 format is favored, but some users prefer the additional print area of the LJSL22 design. As you can see below, the white print zone on the LJSL22 is significantly larger allowing for more lines of text. The choice is yours.

@R.A. Thank you for a nice article.Could you spice it up a bit illustrating your points with numbers? BTW so many people congratulate you on your return...were you moonlighting?
@Fundamentalists: "That's because the world has never seen anything like the China of the last 40 years. It is truly remarkable."
Man, are you right! I looked up a few figures to back you up and after filling 5 pages I just gave it up to take a shot of tequila.
The figures are absolutely overwhelming. I will bore you some other time with them. Let us just say China has not only already surpassed the US in industrial production. The differencial, as they say in elections, is unsurmantable and irreversible.
@Tzimisces: "My analysis of China has tended towards interpreting their actions as seeing economic growth as a very useful tool but secondary to more traditional methods and objectives of attaining a "harmonius society."
Imagine that! What they have achieved is a historical milestone in human development, and yet you hint GDP growth could be just a sideshow of their ultimate plans.
@JGradus: It is hard not to agree with you, indeed thare are several rags to riches stories for nations.Several, but far from a plurality. Taiwan, Japan after WWII, Singapur, South Korea, Spain in the 1960s...
But China has a billion people and as of now 44% of the World´s steel production(that´s 361% more than the USA), produces Twenty-eight times more cement than the US (1802 vs 63), produces 45% of the world´s coal(3.13 times more than the US), has almost double the number of internet users and even surpasses the US in broadband.
China holds 2.6tr$ of foreign reserves. The US has 142 bn, just 5% of the chinese figure. This excesive trust in the power of the dollar,misplaced may be.
The chinese have three times as many cell phones as the americans, and produce 23% of the world´s motor vehicles(four or more wheels, we are not talking bykes here)- in total 18.2 million units as of 2010. American production for that year was 7.7 million. We could go on and on but maybe some other day.
Really, this GDP figures are misleading. First, often they are not PPP (and sometimes for good reasons). But most importantly, the service sector is quite overepresented, since the same tooth filling may cost you 200 dollars in New York or 3 bucks in China and the quality may not be all that different.


text: Many people are tempted to bring their own dryers, but most cruise lines don't allow it. I am not sure what Disney's policy is. The problem is that your big, powerful dryer draws a lot of current. While you might think that you little dryer is not going to hurt anyone, and that your hair is very important, you might want to remember that the biggest danger on a cruise ship is fire. Hair dryers, immersion heaters and other heavy current users pose a danger to you, and more importantly to others (including children) on the ship. Shipboard fires can be very serious. Generally, if the dryer in your room is not satisfactory, the line will give you a slightly more powerful one, but it will be one that they know is safe.

> Canada: GAP Program, free FSH?
I just found this link to a program called GAP: "GAP Program is a medication assistance program designed to help close the gap between considering fertility treatment and actually getting it. The GAP Program is provided through fertility specialists at participating fertility clinics across Canada."
Anyway, I did what it said and it sent me a form/coupon for $300 worth of "300IU of recombinant human FSH (r-hFSH) for a first time treatment with r-hFSH."
I'm not sure what that is (used for IVF maybe?) but saving $300 sounds good so I thought I'd pass it along. Maybe it's not useful, I have no idea, I haven't seen a fertility clinic yet but it's our next step.
