|My H. rosa-sinensis is having a major problem. Its leaves are turning yellow overnight at an alarming rate and dropping like flies. It has been healthy otherwise, aside from the occasional aphid attack, which I take care of with a soapy spray. It is still blooming like crazy, yet I just cleaned up at least 3 dozen leaves from the ground. I don't think it is chlorosis, since the whole leaf goes yellow, including the veins. Some leaves drop while still somewhat green as well. I have fertilized it and water it well. One thing I did do recently was add sulphur to the soil to acidify it a little, as we tend to have soil with a high pH. But the leaves were yellowing somewhat even before this. Thanks in advance!

|You don't have anything to worry about as long as there's new leaves showing up.
Hibiscus leaves live about 8 months, then turn yellow and fall off. Sometimes they seem to do it all at the same time, I'm sure just to scare the crap out of us! They do like attention you know.....

|Thanks, Barb. Well, if it was trying to scare the crap out of me, it succeeded, lol. It had been dropping leaves daily, maybe 7 or 8 leaves a day. But the other morning I went outside and it looked like practically the whole plant was yellow and there were 30-40 yellow leaves lying all over the ground. Sure got my attention fast! Today it seems a bit better. I only cleaned up maybe half a dozen leaves.

Day Nine of search and still no sign of Baby Levon
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - Thursday marks Day Nine of the search for nine month old Levon Wameling, who went missing from the city of Utica more than three weeks ago and still, no sign of the child. Police continue to search what they call the high probability areas as well as some areas outside of the immediate Jay Street area where the child was last seen. Officers were seen near the Adirondack Bank building in Utica on Wednesday afternoon going through dumpsters, causing many residents nearby to question if they had found something. Utica Police say they are merely being thorough and following up on every lead they receive. In an off-camera interview on Wednesday, the baby's father, Jevon Wameling said the reason he waited two weeks to report his child missing because he didn't want to have to tell the mother that he lost their son. He also said he has been out looking for this child and hanging flyers with Levon's photo on them. If you have any information on the whereabout of Levon Wameling, you are asked to call authorities at 1-800-THE-LOST.

'Frugal Fashionista' Chic Behind The Berlin Wall
Fashion was inseparable from politics in former East Germany, with a one style fits all mentality. A sewing machine, needle, thread and "Sybille", a culture and fashion magazine supplying dreams as well as patterns, made possible a world of individuality and escape from every day grayness.
'Three Kings Day' Cake Recipe
Dreikoenigstag, Epiphany, brings to an end the Christmas season and in Germany one of many traditions for the day is enjoying a piece of King's Cake, with the 'crowning' of whoever is the 'Lucky One' and finds a Christkind figure, or dried white bean, in their portion.
A Beef Rollups Recipe - Rinderrouladen
Rinderrouladen, "Beef Rollups", slices of beef rolled up around a seasoned onion and bacon filling, served in a wine sauce. A delicious, and classic, "cold weather meal" in Germany, once considered so special they were saved for celebrations or Sundays, now a very traditional dinner choice.
Advent Calendars, a Countdown to Christmas
December 1 means time to open one of the Advent Calendar's doors and discover the first of its twenty-four surprises. The countdown to Heiligabend, Christmas Eve, has begun. For generations an Adventskalender has been one of Germany's much loved Weihnachtszeit holiday traditions.
Advent Wreaths and an Advent in Germany
Advent Wreaths don't decorate doors in Germany, they sit on flat surfaces or hang from a height and have four candles surrounded by evergreen foliage. One for each of Advent's four weeks. 'Die Adventskraenze', just one of many traditions that are a part of Christmas in Germany.
Albert Einstein Quotes
Albert Einstein was a humanist and theoretical physicist, sometime laborer at the Munich Oktoberfest, Nobel Prize winner and, as a 'genius', asked his opinion on many things. These opinions became 'Einstein Quotes'.
Asparagus Recipes, Specialties for 'Spargelzeit'
Asparagus with Orange and Lime Hollandaise Sauce and Schwabian Asparagus Soup with Pancake. These are just two of the delicious German recipes for Spargelzeit, Germany's White Asparagus Season.
Authentic German Gingerbread Recipe
German Lebkuchen makes delicious spicy ginger cookies, Valentines Day or Oktoberfest Hearts, a Witches Cottage, Gingerbread Men, spicy Halloween Ghosts, Christmas decorations, a Lantern giving light and aroma, but whatever you create with this Gingerbread recipe it will always be delicious.
Bavaria, Germany, A Winter Wonderland
Enjoying the winter months is a way of life in Bavaria. It has breathtaking mountain scenery, snow covered forests, castles, palaces, abbeys and ski slopes, mixed with culture, shopping streets and a regional cuisine designed to keep the cold out and warmth in.
Bavarian Donuts, an Auszogne Recipe
Bavarian Donuts, alternatively Auszogne or Kniekuechle, are a Kultgebaeck. A cult baked good that like many things probably originated in a medieval German monastery. Once something to look forward to only during church holidays and festivals now they are enjoyed all year.

Macworld 2010: TUAW interviews Tim Hickman of Hard Candy Cases
Hard Candy Cases runs a booth right across from ours here at Macworld 2010, so when they offered to come on the livestream and show us their cases for laptops and the upcoming iPad, we gladly accepted. Co-founder Tim Hickman brought along a bubbleshell MacBook case to show us, and talked a little bit about the kinds of protection and style his cases bring to your favorite Apple gear (I offered to hit his MacBook with a hammer for testing purposes, but he said they were really meant for bumps and scratches only).
We also chatted about their iPad cases, and how you design and produce retail cases for a device that you haven't actually seen in person yet; apparently they took hundreds of pictures of the iPad keynote, measured the iPad dimensions up against a real-life wristwatch, and even "obtained" some manufacturing plans from somewhere in China. Very interesting stuff -- give it a watch below.

Do both Saline and Silcone implants only last 1 year?
Does anyone know the answer to this question? Do silicone implants last longer than saline? And do they really only last for 10 years?
I just had silicon gel implants put in last Monday (June 26th) and I had that same thought, that they would have to be replaced every 10 years, and I didn't really like that idea considering I am only 31, that would mean quite a few surgerys for me. When I discussed this with my doctor she told me that as long as there is not a problem with the implant or anything then you can wear the same ones for as long as you like. She says she has a lady that has had the same implants in for 25 years now and still has no issues. I hope this helps. :)
These older posts might help you:
In the title you made a typo and said 1 year :uh oh: I hope all of them last longer than that :p
According to a well-known website that I went through just a week befor "There is medical reply on how long breast implants last because available clinical studies follow patients for just a few years. Both saline implants and silicone implants can develop small tears in their shells, causing ruptures. Implants also can cause scar tissue, which sometimes hardens and squeezes the implant, causing pain and deforming the breasts.

Push to alter British succession rules nearly doneApril 23, 2013 @ 9:49 am
LONDON (AP) - Legislation that will end a centuries-old British rule that puts boys before girls in the succession to the throne has cleared the House of Lords, and now goes to Queen Elizabeth II for approval.
The change means that if Prince William and the former Kate Middleton have a girl first, she will become queen, and no younger brother will be able to jump the line and displace her.
The legislation also permits an heir to the throne to marry a Catholic, though Catholics would still be barred from succeeding to the throne.
The bill, which has been fast-tracked through Parliament, passed a third and final reading in the House of Lords Monday.
The government wants to change current laws, which date back to the 1701 Act of Settlement, before the royal couple's first child is born in July. The baby will be third in line to the throne after William and his father Prince Charles.
Kate, formally known as the Duchess of Cambridge, has kept up a fairly busy schedule of royal engagements since becoming pregnant.
On Tuesday, she visited a school in Manchester to launch a counseling project and meet workers from a youth mental health services charity.

Short bowel syndrome is a health condition in which nutrients are not properly absorbed due to the surgical removal of a large portion of the small intestine or severe intestinal disease.
When areas of the small intestine are removed due to surgery, birth defects or disease, usually there is not enough surface area left in the bowel to absorb enough nutrients for someone to survive.
The main treatment for short bowel syndrome is nutritional support. Treatment involves the use of oral parenteral nutrition, rehydration solutions, enteral nutrition and medications. Parenteral nutrition provides the patient with electrolytes, fluids and liquid nutrients directly into their bloodstream through an intravenous tube in their vein. Oral rehydration solutions involve salt and sugar liquids. Enteral nutrition provides the patient with liquid food to the small intestine through the use of a feeding tube.
Treatment depends on the severity of the disease. Patients who have a mild case have to eat small, frequent meals and take fluid and nutritional supplements. Those who have a moderate case of short bowel syndrome are similar to those who have a mild case, but have to undergo intravenous fluids and electrolyte supplements.
Patients who have a severe case have to use parenteral nutrition, oral hydration solutions and enteral nutrition. For those patients, where other solutions have failed them, may have to resort to intestinal transplantation.
Researchers are studying new ways to help the remaining small intestine function. A new multidisciplinary approach to the problem was developed called the Advanced Intestinal Rehabilitation Program. The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, is one of the few in the country that has undergone the new approach.
Treatment consists mainly of specialized nutrition management aimed at helping the remaining intestines adapt and absorb nutrients. Before this program was created, the only option for these patients was intestinal or liver transplants.
Research has proven that the multidisciplinary approach is the most successful. To that extent, the program includes board certified pediatric gastroenterologist, transplant surgeons, pediatric surgeons, nurse practitioners, social workers, registered dietitian, pharmacists and child psychologists.

I'm not sure if I was just in the wrong mood to read this book or if it really was as bad as I think it was. So I will probably try a re-read of this in the future and then amend my rating and review.
This is classic fantasy. A richly detailed world complete with culture, war and political complexeties. The story is good and offers intrigue, mystery and of course....conspiracy.
This book is fantastic and well written. Compelling and likeable characters. Giants and little people (Borrower sized), talking animals, magic and mayhem. And it all makes sense.
I am finding it difficult to wait to get to the next volume in the series.

Queen Anne's Revenge was the name of the flagship of the English pirate known as Blackbeard. He used her for less than a year,[2] but was an effective tool in his prize-taking.
In 1718, Blackbeard ran the ship aground at Beaufort Inlet, Carteret County, North Carolina, in the present-day United States.[2] In late 1996, Intersal, a private contractor working for the state of North Carolina in marine recovery, discovered the remains of a vessel likely to be Queen Anne's Revenge.
The 300-ton vessel, originally named Concord, was a frigate built in England in 1710[citation needed]. She was captured by the French one year later. The ship was modified to hold more cargo, including slaves, and renamed La Concorde de Nantes. Sailing as a slave ship, she was captured by the pirate Captain Benjamin Hornigold on November 28, 1717, near the island of Martinique. Hornigold turned her over to one of his men —Edward Teach, later known as Blackbeard—and made him her captain. Teach's first mate, Christopher Blackwood (known as Blackbeard's Claw), was feared as a ferocious fighter and led many of Blackbeard's boarding parties.
Blackbeard made La Concorde into his flagship, adding cannon and renaming her Queen Anne's Revenge. The name may come from the War of the Spanish Succession, known in the Americas as Queen Anne's War, in which Blackbeard had served in the Royal Navy, or possibly from sympathy for Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch.[3] Blackbeard sailed this ship from the west coast of Africa to the Caribbean, attacking British, Dutch, and Portuguese merchant ships along the way.
Shortly after blockading Charleston harbor in May 1718, and refusing to accept the Governor's offer of a pardon, Blackbeard ran Queen Anne's Revenge aground while entering Beaufort Inlet. He disbanded his flotilla and escaped by transferring supplies onto a smaller ship, Adventure. He stranded several crew members on a small island nearby, where they were later rescued by Captain Stede Bonnet. Some[4] suggest Blackbeard deliberately grounded the ship as an excuse to disperse the crew. Shortly afterward, Blackbeard did surrender and accepted a royal pardon for himself and his remaining crewmen from Governor Charles Eden at Bath, North Carolina. However, he eventually returned to piracy and was killed in combat.[citation needed]
Discovery and archaeological excavation of shipwreckEdit
Intersal Inc., a private research firm, discovered the wreck believed to be Queen Anne's Revenge on November 21, 1996. It was located by Intersal's director of operations, Mike Daniel, who used historical research provided by Intersal's president, Phil Masters and archaeologist David Moore.[5] The vessel is in the Atlantic Ocean in shallow water offshore from Fort Macon State Park (34°41′44″N 76°41′20″W), Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. Several of the cannon and more than 16,000 artifacts have been recovered; however, none appear to be of French origin, as would be expected from a French slave ship. They are mostly British, as would be expected with a colonial pirate crew.
For one week in 2000 and 2001, live underwater video of the project was uploaded to the Internet as a part of the DiveLive educational program that reached thousands of children around the world.[6] This project enabled students to talk to scientists and learn about methods and technologies utilized by the archaeology team.
Project Director Mark Wilde-Ramsing of the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch supervised recovery of artifacts from the site through the 2007 field season. In November 2006 and 2007, more artifacts were discovered at the site and brought to the surface. The additional artifacts appear to support the claim that the wreck is that of Queen Anne's Revenge. Among current evidence to support this theory is that the cannon were found loaded. In addition, there were more cannon than would be expected for a ship of this size, and the cannon were of different makes. Depth markings on the part of the stern that was recovered point to it have been made according to the French foot measurements.[7]
By the end of 2007, approximately 1/3 of the wreck was fully excavated. Artifacts are undergoing conservation. The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources set up the website[8] Queen Anne's Revenge to build on intense public interest in the finds.
In 2011, the 1.4-tonne (3,100 lb) anchor from the ship was brought to the surface along with a range of makeshift weaponry.[9][10]
On August 29, 2011, the National Geographic Society reported that the shipwreck had been confirmed as Queen Anne's Revenge.[11]
On June 21, 2013, the National Geographic Society reported recovery of cannons from Queen Anne's Revenge.[12]
On October 28, 2013, archaeologists recovered five more cannons from the wreck.[13] Three of these guns have been identified as 6-pounder iron cannons manufactured at Ehrendals works in Södermanland, Sweden, in 1713. Thomas Roth (Swedish Army Museum) has derived iron cannon to the origin by a mark on the cannon tubes.
National Register of Historic PlacesEdit
Queen Anne's Revenge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The reference number is 04000148. It is listed as owned by the state of North Carolina and near Morehead City.[14]

Vickie Milazzo ads and truth - page 2
We have all seen the glossy ads indicating that you can make $150 /hr (altho her site brings it down to $125...I do not know why) and many of us have thought WOW this is it!!! I am bringing up this topic because I want to know... Read More
- 1Jun 6, '12 by classicdame Guideshe is not really lying - after all, SHE is making that money selling her idea!!!
- 3Jun 6, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RN"especially since so many lawyers work on contingent basis. it's silly to expect to be paid $125-$150 an hour if the attorney doesn't even have the guarantee of pay yet."
well, a well-run law office that retains exerts (and we're experts) should have a fund set aside for exactly that. it's considered unethical for a nurse expert to be paid on a contingent basis, because the idea is that we could be shading our testimony one way or another. i don't ever want to tell someone that my pay depends on the outcome of the case-- my expertise is a service to the court in its trying the case, and i can't be biased. i am asked to tell the truth. the atty who hires me indeed does pay me up front for deposition or testimony, and a retainer for work to be done in preparation. "so, nurse grntea, are you being paid for your opinion here today?" "no, sir, i am being paid for my time."
- 1Jun 6, '12 by KimberlyRN89, BSN, RNQuote from classicdameBut her ads seems to be a misrepresentation. The ads make it seem like 'Take my course & you'll be rolling in the dough!' If I were someone interested in this field, I would most definitely look around. I think it was pointed out on this forum that there is a cheaper alternative to the VM course.she is not really lying - after all, SHE is making that money selling her idea!!!
- 1Oct 2, '12 by GiGi223LindaRN--
I cannot PM you because I don't have enough posts yet.
I am interested in MSA, but don't know where to start looking for legitimate certification. You can post here, or PM me your email address or something. Whatever you are comfortable with (and doesn't violate allnurses.com's rules). I just posted a topic looking for career change advice if you want to look that up. It's got my experience listed, etc.
- 0Oct 3, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNMSAs are required for work comp settlements only at this time. There is no requirement to be "certified" in preparing or submitting them, although there are a number of companies who have invented "certifications" and then sell you the courses, the exam prep, the materials, the exam, and the recertification activities.
If you want good nurse-led MSA courses, there are links to two at the American Association of Nurse Life Care Planners website-- both of the people that teach life care planning also have courses on MSA. They will prepare you for the various credentials. Disclaimer: while I am an AANLCP member I have no financial interest in either of these courses.
- 2Oct 3, '12 by Havin' A Party!IMHO, Vickie's made a mint due to four things: a great idea, slick marketing, gullible nurses, and a nursing industry that overworks its constituency to the point that drives them to seek out other endeavors.
Many old additional posts on this forum on VM. Read them or proceed at your own peril.
- 0Dec 3, '12 by nurse_angelusI feel like a real fool, I fell for it hook line and sinker! Went all the way and chose her most expensive option, over $12000. I have the knowledge and the passion but can a LNC make it today?

Today the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) announced a new partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to improve care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees – sometimes referred to as "dually eligible individuals." Under this three-year agreement, Minnesota and CMS will improve the level of coordination between Medicare and Medicaid, better protect enrollees from premiums, help people better understand and receive benefits and ease administrative burdens.
"Minnesota has been a pioneer in developing programs for people with dual eligibility," said Department of Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson. "Today's agreement marks an important step on Minnesota's journey towards a truly integrated health care system."
Under the terms of the agreement CMS and the state of Minnesota will implement payment and delivery systems reforms to more fully integrate primary care, long-term services and supports and behavioral health services for individuals enrolled in the Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) program. MSHO currently serves more than 36,000 Medicare-Medicaid enrollees.
"Aligning payment streams makes it easier for providers to better coordinate care and improve patient health," said Jesson. "Many of those served by this program suffer from multiple or severe chronic conditions and will benefit from better care coordination and management of health and long-term supports and services."
More information about MSHO is available on the DHS website. Information about the Minnesota-CMS partnership and demonstrations in other states is on the CMS website.

Successful salespeople continue to be successful regardless of what they are selling, who they are selling for, when they are selling and whom they are selling to. These are the salespeople you want to model. Their success is always rooted in "how" they are selling. Successful sales professionals understand the definition of selling; uncovering a prospect's needs and then positioning their product or service as the best selection to fulfill that need.

New Zealand Herald: The Craft of CocktailsSeptember 6, 2012
From New Zealand Herald:
I like tequila. That means I'm excitable according to one of America's best bartenders.
New York-based cocktail maker, Steve Schneider, says you can tell a lot about a woman by her preferred poison.
"A tequila girl, she's peppery, she's spicy. And if she likes shots then she wants to party," says the former military Marine.
Vodka drinkers tend to be calorie conscious and gin women like to explore and aren't afraid of flavour.
Schneider is one of a bevy of colourful cocktail makers flown in to Queenstown to compete in the 42 Below World Cocktail Championships.
When I was invited to check out the week-long event I wasn't sure what was in store. I expected a lot of booze and my colleague warned me that things could get weird, but it wasn't until I touched down in the snowy city that I really believed it.
Men dressed in animal masks and lab coats sip cocktails, dancing to dub step as a bunch of bartenders are thrown off the second-highest bungee jump in the world.

The Vampire Diaries Opinion Article
Reasons why that Elena sire bond isn't real
This sire bond isn't real at all.
Why Caroline and Vicki didn't had any problems? Caroline tortured Damon a bit(hitting him with every wall possible) and Vicki almost killed Elena, and others(which C'mon would happen if there was a sire bond), and both were turned by Damon's blood. And I think there are many others examples that we can use. Again I repeat, this is first time in the show, and many people were turned there, when "there's" a vampire sire bond. Another example can be Jenna, which was turned by Klaus, and there was no sire bond, because Jenna fought against Klaus.
Pure and Simple, becoming a vampire, everything Elena felt for Damon went bigger. And because the Stelena broke-up almost existed since Stefan left in S2-S3, the feelings for Stefan couldn't grow up as much as the feeling for Damon did.
IT DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL. I repeat no sire bond.

Fernando Verdasco ended a six-match losing streak in ATP World Tour finals with a straight sets triumph over fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro in the US Men's Clay Court Championship on Sunday.
The 30-year-old won 6-3 7-6 (7/4) in Houston to claim his sixth ATP World Tour title and first since 2010 in Barcelona.
The fourth seed won the first set with the only break, but last year's runner-up Almagro responded, surviving four break point chances as he opened up a 3-1 lead in the second set.
Verdasco battled back - although he had to survive a tense game at 4-5, fighting off five set points for Almagro - before he closed out the victory in the tie-break after one hour and 52 minutes on court.
The victory was the perfect response after Verdasco and David Marrero had lost 4-6 6-4 11-9 to twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan in Saturday's doubles final.
