Complete Comfort Bed
The miraculous metal finish of daybed with pop up trundle will add a class to any room of your home. This trundle bed includes metal slats for support. The collapsible trundle fits beneath the Daybed. It adds a lot of versatility to your home. Use it as a sofa in the home office or combine it with the optional trundle to get some more sleeping space. It is one of the most functional pieces of furniture you'll ever buy. People usually prefer Pop up trundles over the left up trundles because they can be setup quickly.
Looking for something better than twin beds? You would definitely like daybed with pop up trundle! It provides a king size sleeping place. It has foldable legs for additional support. Trundles can be found with box springs or link springs. Most of them are available with a bunk board or panel back which fits within the trundle frame and supports the mattress. The pop up trundle is expensive but much better than sleeping in a mattress in a drawer which is barely off the floor.
Daybeds are quite light looking. These Daybeds have been designed keeping in mind the problem of space. During non sleeping hours, you could use them as seating. The pop up trundles helps you when you want to give guest space but you might not have the guest room. Daybeds never go out of style. They do not occupy more space and improve the slumbering place. This is something that can be used as your child's first bed and yet appropriate in their teenage.
The benefits of using a daybed with pop up trundle are written below:
- It solves the problem of lack of space.
- The pop up trundle is easy and quick to setup.
- It occupies less space but provides king size sleeping space.
- It can be used as a seating.
- You can attach the pop up trundle to the bed and make your daybed a double bed, much more appealing than sleeping in a drawer.
- pop up trundle can be detached and used in two different places. This gives you more seating and sleeping options. This way of using pop up trundle is known to very less number of people.
- It is a perfect sleeping solution when your kids have friends who often plan to spend their night at your place.
The daybeds with popup trundles provides sufficient space for sleeping without using all the space available for walking. Everyone wants to have the comfort of sleeping on large mattress but having this much of space is not an option for smaller rooms otherwise. One of the major advantages is that when you do not need the extra space which this daybed allows you for, you can pop down the mattress to make it slide back beneath the real bed.
The daybeds with popup trundles can be a beautiful decorative furniture piece in the day and a comfortable bed during night by just adding an appropriate bedding and comforter.

|Hi Eloise
I took your advise, here's the new Forum, in the Morning I'll post a couple Pic's
Hope to see everyone over here
Follow-Up Postings:
|And, I get to be the first to post here! We had a bit of rain yesterday, yay!
Lenette, I don't have beauty berry, but assume it will grow here. I'll have to look into that. That 'chicky' is gone, but I have 2 bantams, 2 barred rock and a 'noid' (lol!). Never got my marans. I will never get another bantam because the barred rocks pick on them so much.
Here's a brug cousin, Iochroma, that continues to bloom. It's a good 7-8 ft tall!

|Was out of state for a couple of days. When we landed yesterday, we thought it was cold here last night! Isn't it a treat when brugs continue to bloom in spite of unfavorable conditions? I still haven't grown datura although I have some seeds somewhere. I love the red castor bean plant, and plan to plant some next season. This year us going by too quickly and I didn't do much in the way of real gardening.
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Thu, Oct 31, 13 at 10:50
we got up to 66 degrees Yesterday, we thought that was Warm, I got the rest of my yard Cleaned up.
Welcome Home, I hope it was a Fun Trip, Yes the Brugs are amazing, if you need Castor Bean seeds or Datura Seeds, Just LMK, I have tons, I still have to get the Rest of them of the Plants
I have one of those long trimmers to get the ones at the Top

|Do any of you still have the Shredded White Brugmansia? I had it about 6 yrs ago. It died mysteriously. I need to find another one lol.
Here is mine when I had it <3. I think it came from Logees if I remember right. It had a very sweet honey scent with light lemony undertones.
|Elizabeth, it was a pleasure trip of sorts -- my gd had an interview for grad school and since she is still not of age, she can't rent a car to move around. Wish I had all the energy you do and get my garden back to how it used to be. I would love to get some castor bean seeds from you provided they are the red ones, thanks. BTW, somewhere I read you were looking for prickly pear pads; did you ever get them? I don't have the green ones, but I can send you a pad from my small purplish one, PLMK. I don't have a recent picture of the plant, but this is when I first brought my pads from AZ:
Lenette, what beautiful plants. Those hibiscus are beautiful, and your nanners look amazing. I still have shredded white, but always heard it was hard to root. I might have a smaller plant if I can figure out which pot it is in if you want it, or cuttings. My labels faded and most of my brugs have become 'noids'. Bet those bantams are cuties. Mine are called cochin batams, one black and one reddish-orangy. My youngest gd named them Jasmine and Ariel, of course!

|That's a pretty pink brug. I bet your basement is smelling good now.
Diane I think that shredded white (least the one I had) was originally a seedling found in Mexico. That was the info on the Logees website when I got it. It was an excellent bloomer.
Eloise. Yes I do remember it being a harder variety to root. Totally had forgotten about that lol.
I love your Santa Rita (?) cactus. I used to have one like that in AZ. I remember they really liked to be dry. I had a pot of it here in FL and they totally rotted due to all the humidity. I need to build a shelter for succulents and cactus with a clear top and no sides. Some kinds do okay here out in the open and some don't. I have a pickly pear out in the yard and it is doing really well. Not sure what kind it is.
Elizabeth. I grow some different varieties of ginger. Some of the flowers are fragrant and some aren't. Most of them have fragrant leaves.
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 3, 13 at 23:18
|There is a shrub of the shredded brugmansia growing at the Naples Botanical Gardens, I just remembered That is in Naples, Florida
Gingers are good for sure. I find for myself, I am only in the south about half a year, the problem with having Gingers in the gardens, is that many of them bloom when I am not down there
I find dried up flowers on some of the plants when I get down so I know they have bloomed
For me an excellent planting is Bromeliads They seem to take care of themselves, which is great for me, and when I do get down to Florida, they, for the most part look as though I had been there tending them all the time.
Brugmansia in the gardens there, sometime manage on their own and I think they would be okay but it seems every couple of years I have someone new tending the gardens when I am away and they mostly don't know what any of the plants are and prune some to much, or dig them out or a variety of things. Not sure if sometimes they maybe just take a plant home with them As I do have some really nice stuff growing in these Florida gardens.
Sorry off the subject a little here.

|I love the datura pic.
That castor bean looks like a fancy flower/foliage/pod arrangement! Those things sure can be spiky when they are dry. I put mine in a paper bag and gently smashed them with my shoe to get the dry pods open when I grew them lol. Mine were dry all the way (brown) and they hurt!

My gardens in FLorida are a joy to me. But I am up north si months of the year and miss seeing the bloom on some of my plants
|The yellow double brug is very nice. Very nice pictures so
please keep posting.
|Elizabeth, beautiful display of arrangements! The red castor bean pods look amazing - can't wait to start some. I too like having flowers or cuttings of lavender in vases, but sometimes I'm just too busy that I forget to do this or to just sit and enjoy them in the house. Glad you are still able to enjoy some blooms in the basement.
Oh those chickies are soooooooo cute, Lenette! I can just see how they would be with muddy feathered legs! My Mojito is also doing well and I have it next to a black one so it really stands out. The Aristolochia is spectacular. I tried growing them, but failed miserably. I must say so as to not discourage others from growing all these beautiful plants, most times for the failure is my own. Beautiful brugs, and the pineapple sage is lovely. I was finally able to keep one going in a pot that is right outside my back door.
Diane, hope you are able to get to your Florida garden soon.
Wally, please resend your email. It went into spam and I deleted it since I didn't know who you were.
A great day to all!

Elizabeth, beautiful sunrise and that Tulip tree! Glad you got the cacti and will let you know when I get the seeds. BTW, did you check your emails -- I sent you the name of those prickly pear pads. I got to say this, I almost abbreviated prickly pear, but thought it would read funny :-)

|Diane- Where in FL do you reside part time? I am in NE FL so I am usually a few weeks behind in bloom time than the others further south of me. I also have to put my tropical stuff into the greenhouse durng the winter. They bloom in there but the yard looks pretty boring then lol.
CB your edible winter garden looks amazing! I want to see your fountain! lol. Is it swans?
Elizabeth- Love those sunset pics and the fall colors there.

|I have yard work outside to do this Saturday but being a bit of a weenie I guess As it is cold outside and even a bit of snow flurries So here I am reading garden web again.
Do have a fancy pumpkin cheesecake in the oven though (is made with squash rather than pumpkin from my garden)
I am down in Fort Myers Florida so is pretty fantastic winter weather.
I brought up this expensive dragon concrete pond feature from FLorida
Has been in my yad now about five years In the pond and works neat
My son and a friend lift it out of the pond and bring it into the garage, each fall They did so last week I think it could be just lifted out of the pond and sat beside it on the ground and covered. But I think my son, Graham, wants to ensure that it is not damaged for many years and he might at some point inherit it himself.
I am enjoying all the pictures as well I have to start doing pictures and get posting them I would love to see my pictures and show off

|Thanks Elizabeth, looking forward to the seeds. It was a beautiful day yesterday, but I didn't do any yard-work. Went to a seminar at our local nursery, then bought a few plants :-)
Wow, those gingers are fantastic, Lenette! I am so encouraged to take better care of my store bought eating ginger now that I see yours. I think mine is in too small a pot and hasn't thrived that much, but it is growing although it's not a very attractive plant, see:

|I do just so much enjoy the fragrance of Brugmansia
Some people do not like it
I am hooing that when I get down to Florida there might be blooms on some of my plantings of Brugmansia there.
Or at least that the plants have survived while I have been up north
Ladies and gentlemen when you bring your Brugmansia indoors do you not take the leaves off the plants. Or is white fly not a problem in spring.

|Good evening CB, always Great to see you
Great Pic's SJN
I sure hope you see Blooms when you get back to fla.
I remove most of the Big Leaves, some smaller one I leave one
but you do fight aphids in winter, I am trying something new, I am going to wash off the Leaves with a cloth, with Murphys oil soap
mix with a little water
|I love the jungle look, Lenette! You are expanding your garden, and here I can't keep up with my small lot. That rooster is so beautiful. Wish I could have one, but one of my neighbors complains too much. Sorry, no experience with how to paint/seal your elephant fountain, but perhaps an aquatic place can help, a nursery or google.
Elizabeth, got the seeds, thanks. To my surprised, I forgot that the seeds are actually bean-like!
Trying to grow lotus from a dry lotus pod. Here's one of the containers of seedlings so far. Hope I can keep them growing over winter.
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 13, 13 at 8:54
|Growing lotus plants from the seed pod, the dry seed pod boy that is interesting
I have wanted, for a few years to put Lotus plants in my Dragon pond. I would have to bring the plants in during winter though but would be willing to do so
Those tropical photos sure make me wishing to be down in Florida and see how all of my neat stuff is doing. You know we have had this spot south for 15 years. It took me quite a few years to learn what plants will manage without much care for six months and look good even when I get back down there
Yes, I am boasting. Sorry But I am proud and happy that I will be down there soon

|Here are some pics of our edible garden last year. It does have a wild tropical look to it.
This year it rained so much it looked terrible so I didn't take pics lol. Anyhow you can see that we were just using partial metal fencing and partial plastic garden fence and so the critters could easily hop in there and help themselves lol. We still havested quite a bit though and made lots of salsa.
Next year should be a lot better since we got the 60 inch fencing up.

I am so Glad you got your Seeds, DH told me not to get those Beans mixed up with the pinto beans, I have all the castor beans in a quart jar, they are so easy to clean, once they are totally dry
I do hope you'll Post Pic's when you're back in Florida, I would Love to see your Gardens
|Oh what a spectacular food garden! I too did better last year. Not sure what happened this year -- maybe I'm just older and slower, LOL! Lenette, have you had fruit from your papaya? I see trees around here, but I seem to kill my starter plants I get from our group. I thought I finally had one growing, but then it keeled over and the bottom was mushy -- maybe I over-water.
Elizabeth, I can see why hubby said not to mix the seeds. They do look similar, lol! I am really looking forward to next season for planting them.
Diane, I found a blog re. the lotus seeds. The person went to Holly Hobbie for lotus pods. I went to Michael's because there's not a HH close to me. I paid under $8 for a 'bouquet' of three lotus pods. It's easy to sprout the seeds; hopefully it's easy to keep them going. Here's a quick lesson on what I did: Pry seeds from pods with a knife. File the end until you see a bit of 'cream' color (filing is hard because the seeds are so darn hard). Put seeds in a container with warm water (I used a plastic soda bottle). Change water each day. When sprouted, plant on temp container until there are more leaves and ready to plant outside. I put my seeds in water on Oct. 17 and they sprouted quickly. If anyone is interested, I can look for that blog and post it here. Here's a picture of the bottle where I still have some seeds that haven't sprouted. Not a pretty setup, but hey, it's working!
|Oops, it's Hobby Lobby! No wonder there isn't one close to me, or anyone else for that matter, LOL!

|There is hobby lobby in Florida I know Have been in it
Will look for lotus seeds when I am down there for sure
yes do post about how to handle the seeds. WiIsh you would keep us informed of how the seeds or plants are growing
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 11:58
|Good afternoon
Eloise & Dianne
there a Huge Lake, that's about 45 minute drive from here that DD SIL I go to, to collect Lotus seedpods, for painting them to use on the Christmas Tree, a lot of them still have the seeds in them do you think they would still be good to plant ?or should we go back to get Fresh one's, note to self wear rubber boots, so you don't lose your shoe's & socks in the Mud, Like we did last year
|There are lots of sites to get info on growing/sprouting lotus, but this is the one where I read to buy pods from hobby lobby: http://chubbysgarden.blogspot.com/
Elizabeth, wish I lived close to that lake! Yes, those seeds are viable. The ones I got from Michael's came from china and some of the seeds were even glued in. I am certain the pods I bought are old, but they still sprouted! Would be interesting to see what color the bloom is, if I even get a bloom. A lady at UCLA was growing lotus from ancient days and the seeds still sprouted. Love your note to self, LOL!
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 17:50
Then, I'll give it a try, I'll go through the bag of seedspods, just to see how many seeds are in there, would you like some
I should have extra's, just LMK, I'll be more than glad to share with you
- Posted by pearlgirl 7va (email@example.com) on Fri, Nov 15, 13 at 9:26
|Checking out the pics, ladies and gentleman :):) They're
ALL so very beautiful...overwhelming!!
Jasmine..I want to play 'Hide and Seek' in you garden.
From CB's...I'll just take a few things. Eloise, find a chair
for me to enjoy the brugs. Keep posting 'cause I'll be
lurking around.
Jasmine, where may I order the Australian hibiscus??
To die for blue....love blues.
Eloise... I mailed your pkg on Wed. Have a great weekend.

|Elizabeth, yes if you have enough seeds. Have you seen the lotus bloom at the lake?
Thanks Margaret, will let you know when it arrives. Did you get my package?
Wish I was your neighbor Lenette. I would climb over the fence and partake of that papaya, lol! Just beautiful. I like to eat papaya with some lime juice on it.
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 10:36
I'll get busy & find them for you, I know I have some in the Basement .also some in the Garage, my DD only has Sunday & Wednesdays off, Hopefully Wednesday, we can make the Trip to the Lake, to gather more
- Posted by pearlgirl 7va (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 21:59
|Sorry.......Yes, I did get you package. I'm reviving it a bit before I try to root it. I cut it up a bit more and it seems to
be coming around. I'm going to try root tone.
Got your email....Thanks!
Jasmine, I'll use that seed ordering info.
|Elizabeth, don't rush, whenever is fine.
Well not much happening here in CA, but I will post these pictures of blooming b. Mountain Magic, MM with p. Incense and Lion's Tail (towards end of season) just for the heck of it. Happy Sunday :-)

Just Beautiful, I Love to see Blooming Plants, it's Gloomy here raining, but it's not Cold, so I'll just enjoy the inside.
I should be able to send you some Seeds, next week, they Bloom Yellow

I did find all my Lotus Seedpods, here is a Pic of them Before I paint them, Yes there are a lot of Seeds
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Tue, Nov 19, 13 at 10:08
|Whoa Elizabeth, wish I had posted about lotus before I went out and bought the pods, LOL! Those are a lot of seeds alright.
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 19, 13 at 18:52
|Great pics! I love seeing everyone's plants!
That red Passion flower is pretty amazing!
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 20, 13 at 10:03
You make me happy
Looking at the brug pictures and then the lotus pods and then baby ducks Oh what a nice morning treat it is.
I wanted to mention that at the beginning of this posting Elizabeth maybe mentioned the Beauty Bush plant. There is a mature plant of it growing near to me in FLorida and it is beautiful to behold. I have taken cuttings, but never had any luck in getting them to take. Must buy a plant but I do not have much room for more plants. It is a problem for sure Or maybe take something out
Love those Brugmansia photos for sure.
|Those baby ducks are so cute! Interesting coloring on the mom, what kind of duck is she? Here we only see the mallards and white (Pekings?) ducks. I like that brug seedling. Looks like the edge of the petals are a bit darker. Always wanted a red passiflora. There was a banana plantation by the beach and the fruit stand, which was a fairly large building, would be totally covered by a passiflora with large, red blooms. Wish I had thought about asking its name. They closed down several years ago.

|Good evening
what a Day, I have no Hot water, my Hot water heater, went out, I have to wait till tomorrow, to get the part to fix it. a Good thing though my hibiscus, Bloomed, I almost left it out, it didn't Bloom outside, but when I brought it in, it Bloomed, it's nice to have anything Blooming
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 21, 13 at 19:01
|seems there is always something goes wrong
I gave up on growing hibiscus in Florida
But, in Canada have a 60 plus foot long edge of various coloured Rose of Sharon that are for sure eye catching. and need no care what so ever
enjoyed to see the duck pictures and hear about them
|I have read that duck eggs are 'cleaner' than chicken eggs, but most ducks quack too loud and my neighbors would surely complain. I liked hearing that Muscovies don't quack, but then you mentioned that hissing and loud breathing. My neighbors would wonder what was going on in my backyard, LOL!
Hope you get the water heater fixed quickly Elizabeth. That's a beautiful hibiscus! The coloring is like Raspberry sherbert :-)
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Fri, Nov 22, 13 at 15:57
|Thanks Ladies
well the water heater is being fixed, I now Know why that one in particular, has a Class action Law suit, it ended up costing $431.00 to get it fixed, but now it's done, Yippee
onto other things. have a Great Evening.
I also love the Pic's of those Ducks
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 11:23
|I love that pink hibiscus. Do you know the name of it?
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 20:35
I wish I did have a name for it, I got it at the end of the Season sale at Lowes, no one there seems to know much about any Plants, I was offerred a job there Several time's. I had to decline, I am having to much fun being Retired.
I am surprized with all those Beauy's that you have, that you don't have one just like it
before I forget, Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving, that goes for Everyone else also
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 18:58
|It froze hard last night here. I wasn't able too do to much as far as getting everything put away. I just had to throw some sheets over everything. Some stuff got really burnt anyways. I did manage to get the small pots and seedlings put up.
Bad time for a first freeze -during the holidays lol.
Now the temps are supposed to go back up for a week so maybe most of it will bounce back. Stuff looked really sad out there this morning. I hate that 'wet kleenex look' where the leaves turn that dark green/black color lol. The stems look okay.

I am sorry to hear That, I sure hope you didn't lose anything, it is so Early for you to get that Low temps this Early.
I hope you had a Great Thanksgiving in spite of the weather.
A Great Brug grower Lives in Florida, near orlando area, I think for the last 3 yrs, he had a field of Brugs frozen, even though he had the sprinkler running they still looked like cooked Spinach
it was so sad looking, I sure hope yours doesn't look like that
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 30, 13 at 13:51
|Yep cooked spinach sounds about right lol. Not all the leaves are burnt. Some are much worse than others though. Buds and all stems look good and some are still blooming with ugly nasty leaves. They will surely all survive.
I have been slowly digging up the smallest ones the last few days gradually making my way up to the largest. I usually leave some of the really large more established brugs in the ground.
I got all my vines dug up and moved except the huge pipe vine that is wrapped around Salmon Perfection. I am going to have to cut down half of S.P. to get it off of there.
Some of the plumeria leaves got burnt but none are turning yellow and falling off this year.
|Elizabeth, glad you got your water heater fixed although at a pretty penny :-( My oven went out so I need to call someone to come fix it. It has one of those electrical ignitors that lights up, but the gas won't kick in. I just hate dealing with this kind of stuff.
Hope your weather improved for your plants, Lenette. Cooked spinach doesn't sound too appealing in plants. We had a bit of rain here, and it sure was a welcomed sight, although we need more.
Ate too much for Thanksgiving, but I worked some of that off yesterday. Cut down to about 5 feet, a variegated duranta that had grown way too high past the roof-line. Now to get rid of all those cuttings, ugh. Still need to cut down other tree-like bushes so I can string up my Christmas lights around the house.
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Sun, Dec 1, 13 at 11:14
do you have seeds from that Datura,
? I would love to have some
I have never seen a varigated, Datura
I am so Glad you had a Great Thanksgiving, I was working my Dinner off also, got the Christmas Tree out of the Attic & Decorated it, now I only have 4 more to do. my DD can't beleive that I have so many Trees, but this is my Favorite season
|Sorry Elizabeth, don't have datura, it's a duranta. But, there are some seeds on that plant; just don't know how viable they are.
Christmas is a very special time for me as well. Unfortunately, I have now stopped putting up a Christmas tree. I love the fresh trees and they have gotten so outrageously expensive that I didn't put one up last year. My dd got me a huge poinsettia that I added Christmas lights to, will probably do the same this year. So you do 5 trees!
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Mon, Dec 2, 13 at 18:03
I use to have 2 big duranta's I sold them at a my plant sale
I had to many Brugs, that needed the Space, I'll get your Seeds out to you as soon as I find the baggies, to put them in a Bubble mailer. Here's one of my Christmas Trees
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 3, 13 at 16:29
|Pretty tree Elizabeth. You do a great job in decorating. I'm sure your family love being at your home and enjoying all you do in love!
Don't know if you have a Costco close to you Lenette, but that is where my dd buys the huge poinsettia. I planted last year's one in the ground and is currently blooming although the blooms aren't that large. Sorry the buds fell off your brugs and seedlings before they opened up. Weather is weird. Beautiful jasmine -- bet it smells divinely!
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Thu, Dec 5, 13 at 12:40
Thank you, I have Super Spot Blooming again, I brought it up from the Basement to put in front of the window in my Kitchen,
I am so Glad I did there was a Slug all comfy in the soil, well it went for a Swim. here the Bloom
|Spectacular color on SS, Elizabeth! Decorated anymore trees?
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 7, 13 at 18:33
|Super Spot is looking nice!
I will check out Costco for the poinsettias. Thanks for the tip!
I found a beautiful double orange bloom today on a tall seedling that I had behind one of our outbuildings out back. It was hiding under the roof overhang so it didn't freeze and fall off lol. I will try and get the pic of it up tomorrow. It has a nice long bloom, it is way above my head though so I can't smell it. Seems like almost every brug I grew this year got way taller than me lol.

I now have 5 trees decorated, was going to do the Cedar Tree out Front, I have most of the Seed Pods, drilled & painted.
but I now have to wait till the Snow on it melts to do that one
here is why
|Brrrrrrrr, makes me cold just looking at snow. I can see why you have to wait to decorate that one!
- Posted by pearlgirl 7va (email@example.com) on Wed, Dec 11, 13 at 11:10
|Elizabeth...that sparks an idea to bring a blooming brug
inside for a while. Every time that I open the garage, there
is always something blooming...only for a while, though.
Jasmine, what is the name of the dbl orange prize that
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Thu, Dec 12, 13 at 8:29
|Good Morning Everyone
after it warms up at least to about 32 today I hope to get that Cedar tree Decorated, I have almost all the seed pods painted

|Nice, Nice Nice, I really Like your Cross, I also like the comparison, that's a nice size Egg, I just got some Fresh Fruit from a Friend that lives in Fla, it was Great, you're so Lucky to have Fresh Fruit this time of year.
mostly I get mine from Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, oh, it's about 15 minutes from here, they import all kinds of things.
have to make a Trip down there tomorrow, get ready for the next cold weather, Today it warmed up from 1 degree to 17 degrees
- Posted by pearlgirl 7va (email@example.com) on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 8:18
|Jasmine...that is such a lovely brug. When it grows up,
the first cutting is mine...kidding :):). I ordered some
doubles for spring shipping. I'm always up for a good
trade, though. ...right Elizabeth??
|I am enjoying reading along and seeing all your photos. We have had unusually cold weather here but a heat wave of 13 degrees F today so will do some shopping. May pick up a poinsettia at the nearby Costco. We go there a couple of times a week for indoor walking.
Love the brug blooms. Mine all all dormant in a cool basement room. Had a few indoor blooms in the fall. Sjn, agree that is a lovely seedling bloom.
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 13:53
that's a Big Yes, Love to Trade, How are the things I sent you doing? we'll have to do that again in May, Next month I am shaping my Brugs, then in February I Start to feed them as well as keep them watered.
Today was a Great day, my DH had his follow up visit after his Eye Surgery on Wednesday, Everything Looks Great, he has his other Eye, done This coming Wednesday, hopefully he can get his Driver's Licenses Back, he doesn't make a very good passenger
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 10:35
|Thanks! I do think this will turn out to be a good seedling once the weather straightens itself out. I really should register some of my seedlings. I have many from 5 yrs ago, even, that I haven't done anything with lol.
Just too busy with work, kids and all the other stuff I have to get done now. Its nice having 4 acres of garden space to play with but then again, that just makes MUCH MORE yard work to keep up with as well. Seems like I am always behind on something!
Hi mnwsgal! You certainly have a challenging area to grow in (zone 4) but you probably have that great midwest soil too! We drove all over Minnesota and loved it there!
Elizabeth, glad to hear your dh's surgery went well.
- Posted by pearlgirl 7va (email@example.com) on Mon, Dec 16, 13 at 12:07
|Elizabeth...glad that all is well with the surgery. they're
indeed NOT the best passengers !!!
My blue hibiscus is leafing back out...keeping a good
watch on her. Have some brug cuttngs going on also.
It wasn't the plan, however, I just cannot toss them,
besides, I always have something to do over the winter.
The brug cuttings are doing well also. Think I should feed
them? They're still in the 12 oz cups.
- Posted by plantlover49 6B (My Page) on Mon, Dec 16, 13 at 20:41
it's so good to hear that you're Clippings are doing well, Thank you for thinking of my DH, he gets his other Eye done this Wednesday, so if that does well, I think he will get his Licenses
back, then he can drive himself, Yippee
it will be his turn to drive me around, then I'll drive him crazy for a change.
in the Spring I have one Brug, that I want you to have a clipping of
the tag got lost somewhere, anyway, that Brug grew well over 10 ft, the trunk was 3-4 inches in diameter, it didn't Bloom, so I am sure which one it is, I had at least 20 named Brugs, it could also be one of the crosses I have been growing out, anyway I took a bunch of cuttings from it, I had to otherwise it wouldn't fit in the Basement, so remind me in April
|Morning everyone! I haven't been able to get on here much because my computer is acting up -- always something falling apart! My gs said it's something? with the mother board. Of course I have no clue what that means other than I know the mother board is inside the tower, lol! With Christmas here, don't know how soon I will be able to fix the computer. Elizabeth and Lenette, beautiful flowers as always!

|thought some of you might be thinking , what happened to Diane anyway been here in Florida just over a week now
The man, Rubin, who was taking care ofmy yard and did well Only thing that did not do well that I have come across so far , are the roses and not Rubins fault No blooms on any ZBrugmansia but three are lviing yet will start a federalizing program for them
I an still thinking of how nice that Lakeland area was and how many people are growing Brugmansia there. For sure going to take a trip up there in January Internet upposed to be on by Friday at the latest. Now just typing under palm trees mind you, at a coffee sop in Ft Myers.
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 19, 13 at 10:29
|Hi Diane, good to see you posting again. I was wondering but figured that you were probably busy getting everything in order and resting after your long trip. Glad to hear most of your garden is doing okay. Maybe you will get some blooms soon.
I have a few brugmansia blooming still in the yard. I just found a whole bunch of blooms on Mountain Magic yesterday. There is a huge night blooming jasmine bush that grew up in front of it and I didn't see the blooms until I walked behind them lol.
In the greenhouse, there is rosalla and the yellow seedling blooming and the hawaiian bell vine is still going.
|I have been following this thread with interest.............you ladies have many beautiful brugs to share photos of. I just had to respond to this beautiful Christmas wish, and say I wish the same for each of you.

|Merry Christmas everyone!! I am posting between doing the cooking and visiting lol. A true addict even checks out the garden forums on the holidays haha.
Hope Santa brought you all what you wished for. I got a little baby black silkie when I went out in the coop to feed the silkie chickens their breakfast. I guess we have to name him "Christmas"or maybe Christmas Coal lol.
|Morning everyone! We too had a wonderful Christmas. My dd asked that I call before coming over early Christmas morning because my gd wanted to show me something. As I drove down the street towards their home, my gd and dd were on the sidewalk and my gd was driving "her car". Kids are so funny. We ate breakfast, opened gifts, and ate some more, LOL!
I like Christmas Coal :-) You'll need to post pictures.
|Quiet around this post. Let's see, we have been having such beautiful weather here so I spent the day doing some yard work and started pruning my Anna apple tree down to about 5-6 ft height. Margaret, the cutting you sent me has roots, see:
|Eloise, do your Anna Apple tree produce a nice crop of Apples for you and is this tree self pollinating.
|Eloise, Wow that's a lovely tree and since you are in a zone 10
and I live in a zone 9 I'm going to try to see if I can get a Anna
apple tree to perform for me here in Florida. Off to search for one. Now what's funny is if it attracts squirrels maybe that will allow them to leave me a couple of my Golden pineapples.
Every year those little rascals mow down my pineapples and if I get blessed I might harvest one or two before they consume them all. Thanks for the tip.
|Pineapples, yummy! I've tried growing one for several years now and it's never fruited. Of course, I don't do anything to it so don't know why I expect it to fruit, LOL! Around here, every fruiting tree/plant attracts those darn rats -- squirrels! Last year, I went out and there were tons of green apples on the ground. They've done the same with my orange tree, and I haven't been able to get one persimmon, apricot or plum because they try to eat them before they are even ripe. Every once in a while I also find an unripe avocado on the ground where these rats have tried to eat them. I dislike them intensely! CB, I'm sure the Anna apple will do great in your area.
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 1, 14 at 10:13
|Your Anna apples look yummy. I was looking at one at our local nursery about a month ago and wondering what they tasted like. Are they okay to bake with as well as eat fresh? We had a huge Granny Smith in our yard when I was a kid. I loved that tree.
Try giving ur pineapple a little bloom booster and fish fertilizer. Mine like it and set fruit even in a pot that way.
I think we need to start a #3 thread lol. This one is getting slow to load all the pics on my tablet. Does okay on the laptop and desktops lol.
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 23:18
|Merry Christmas I am to late for that
But best wishes in the eyar 2014 and I now do I believe have operating internet once again
The apple tree does sound interesting, but I think it might be simpler growing apples, in my case, up north
I do have an orange tree but it died last year. Had been tremendous in production
I cut down the smaller branches and left the trunk and some shapely branches. Painted the entire thing a sunny yellow colour, creamy yellow . It looks so terrific People forever stop by to say something about how neat it looks in the midst of my gardens.
Hated to lose the tree but still provides a purpose
|Where's Elizabeth? Hope all is well and that you are still celebrating Christmas and New Years! BUT, as Lenette mentioned, you do need to start Time to get this Forum Lively 3!
Lenette, I've used the Anna apple in pies as well as made applesauce and froze it for future uses. I don't bake much now. I do have a small Granny Smith, a Gala and a Lady Apple, which haven't fruited yet, but looking forward to one day eating one of their apples.
Diane, the yellow painted tree sounds great. I have an old lemon tree that died several years ago and decided to use it to grow dragon fruit on it after I found the wood very hard to cut. Wish I had thought about painting it first. Wish there was a way to reduce the size of the picture using GW's tools!

|I have started a New Thread, hope to see you there, Great looking Plant Eloise
|The weather this year in Oregon was so bad! My brugs(salmon) and purple and yellow datura and white moonflower started great then it got cold and rainy for weeks and really wessed them up. Month and a half of summer, blooms coming on them several weeks of cold and rain again basically wiping them out (except for moonflower) got nice again,more buds then winter killed them. Then their was the mole and gopher plague. They tipped over and ate almost all my plants. They even tipped over all my sunflowers. Gophers pushed ALL the daturas out. ate the roots off the hibiscus and pulled the rest of the plant down the hole! Just spent a $100 on a mole cat after trying every trap known to man. Now I am woken up at night by a very satisfying boom almost every night. I highly recommend one.

These pants are flippin' awesome. What I like about Kuhl, is that I know that the money I pay will give me a product that lasts for ever. These pants are super comfortable, pretty light weight, and hold up to wear like no other. I have literally slid down a rock on my butt whilst wearing these and they barely show the encounter. The 3% spandex that is in them is also a major plus. It gives them a slight elasticity that provides amazing ease of movement and doesn't restrict motion in the slightest. I took them on a week long backpacking trip and didn't even need another pair. While being light weight, they also provide a great wind protection and and warmth. GET THESE PANTS NOW!

An upgrade to watch instantly on your PC – and Mac!
Hi, Brent here with some exciting news - today we started testing a new player for watching instantly. Based on Microsoft Silverlight, the new player works on PCs and Intel-based Macs and includes some nice new features such as faster startup and adaptive stream switching. We're testing it with a small percentage of new Netflix members so that we can conduct a thorough analysis before rolling it out broadly. Rollout to all Mac users will happen as soon as we're done with the testing, then we'll roll out to all users by the end of the year. I'll let you know the moment that happens.

In a sign that cruise lines still are struggling to fill sailings that include calls in the Middle East, Crystal Cruises on Monday dropped two 2012 voyages that touch on the area.
Los Angeles-based Crystal canceled a 12-night "Ancient World Wonders" sailing out of Barcelona, Spain starting on Dec. 9, 2012 and a 14-night "Holiday in the Holy Land" sailing out of Piraeus, Greece starting on Dec. 21, 2012 -- both on the 1,080-passenger Crystal Serenity.
The Dec. 9 sailing included calls in Beirut, Lebanon and Damascus, Syria. The Dec. 21 sailing included calls in Ashdod, Israel and Alexandria, Egypt.
RELATED: Crystal to offer shortest-ever Europe cruise
GALLERY: A look inside a Crystal Cruises ship
In lieu of the sailings, the Crystal Serenity will cross the Atlantic from its summer home in the Mediterranean to the Caribbean nearly four weeks earlier than originally planned. The revised schedule includes a new trans-Atlantic voyage from Barcelona to Miami departing on Dec. 9, 2012 and two new Caribbean sailings out of Miami departing on Dec. 21, 2012 and Jan. 4, 2013.
If I were a link I would live here If I were a link I would live here
The new Dec. 21, 2012 sailing will include calls in Tortola; Barbados; St. Lucia; Guadeloupe; St. Maarten; St. Thomas; Ponce, Puerto Rico; and Key West, Fla. The new Jan. 4, 2013 sailing will include calls in Tortola; St. Kitts; Point-a-Pitre, St. Lucia; St. Barts; St. Maarten; and Turks and Caicos.
Cruise lines have struggled to fill sailings that include calls in the Middle East and North Africa in the wake of this year's unrest in the region. The "Arab Spring" revolts in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, in particular, caused a sharp downturn in bookings for 2011 Mediterranean voyages that included calls in the countries, forcing a number of cruise lines to reroute 2011 itineraries on short notice.
Crystal is one of the first lines to make a change to 2012 itineraries that include stops in the Middle East and North Africa.

AP Sports Writer
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland is going to need a late-season surge to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2010.
Since beating Duke last month, the Terrapins have lost three of five. The latest defeat came Wednesday night, a 79- 68 disappointment at home against North Carolina that dropped Maryland below .500 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Terrapins (20-10, 8-9) went 3 for 23 from beyond the arc, took nine fewer free throws than the Tar Heels and got only one more rebound than a team that started three guards and two forwards.
Maryland needs to win at Virginia on Sunday night to break even in league play.
Forward Dez Wells says, "We have to finish out the season as strong as possible and do really good in the ACC tournament."

Hubby and I are currently on vacation in the eastern Sierra Nevada range. We are enjoying a break from the desert heat! We have traveled to Mammoth Lakes, Twin Lakes, Lake Mary, and Mono Lake, as well as Bodie, CA. On this particular morning, we woke up early and drove out to Minaret Vista to see the sun hit them early morning. That's where hubby took a tumble and his Canon smashed into the rocks. It broke his polarizing filter and now he realizes that his lens is sticking, but otherwise he and the camera are doing just fine. (I think it damaged his ego more than anything else!). After that, we drove out to the Twin Lakes area and I caught this beautiful reflection on one of the lakes. SkyWatch Friday for August 21, 2009. By the way, it was so COLD there that morning, I went rummaging through the car looking for my mittens! It has been 28 and 33 degrees in Bodie while we have been here! What a nice change, eh?
Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

"In Aikido as in every martial discipline, there are individuals who are clearly competent and those whose backgrounds and lineage cannot withstand even cursory scrutiny."
This editorial was written back in 1982, long before the Internet age. The proposals suggested here would be far easier to implement given today's available technologies. The problem is the lack of availability of this information to the public. I think an online registry with all the information available to the public would be the best. I would also post videos of all exams online. Then everyone could see everything that transpired and have a clear vision of the skills of the person promoted.
One of the challenges we constantly face in the publication of this magazine is how to maintain respect for the principles of Aikido while doing justice to our role as purveyors of information and opinions. For example, in the interviews we conduct and in some of the materials which come into our hands rather strong criticisms are sometimes expressed which we feel are not appropriate for the pages of AIKI NEWS. Our approach has been to reflect the fact in print that disagreements between individuals or organizations exist rather than to probe into the labyrinth of unpleasant details characterizing such differences. Where legitimate issues of concern to all do exist we frequently offer our thoughts and views and, even if critical, endeavor to express them in a manner intended to produce a constructive outcome. In Aikido as well as in life, we have discovered that "packaging" is every bit as important as "content". With these introductory remarks in mind I would like to broach a topic which is a matter of concern to nearly everyone involved in the practice of martial arts with an eye towards an improvement of the status quo.
The subject? Dan rankings. There are few areas which elicit as much emotion and comment as the topic of the recognition of the ability and service of practitioners through the awarding of ranks. In Aikido as in every martial discipline, there are individuals who are clearly competent and those whose backgrounds and lineage cannot withstand even cursory scrutiny.
Persons purporting to be qualified to teach martial arts almost invariably seek to provide some sort of proof of the legitimacy of their status. Typically, they will identify their teacher(s) and indicate the number of years they have trained as well as the names of the arts they have studied. Often ranking certificates will be prominently displayed in their schools or places of practice. In contrast, there are also individuals in the position of instructing others whose martial arts backgrounds are quite varied and who have trained for brief periods with many different teachers. As such they possess no certificates and can point to no specific instructor as the source of their particular method. Another reason for difficulty in explaining one's past experience might be a personality clash between teacher and student which in effect has cut off that particular person from the school in question. In this category of 'traditionless" individuals, you will at times find rather competent martial artists with unique and valid methods as well as out and out charlatans. What is fascinating is the seemingly universal need to justify one's present standing even by going to the extreme of weaving a false past. At least a half dozen names immediately spring to mind, several of them with successful dojos and scores of students, the latter training in blissful ignorance of the fact that the individuals in whom they have placed their trust and confidence have been untruthful to them.
To my mind, this is the crux of the problem and, in line with my initial comments, I prefer to emphasize specific steps which could be taken to make such activity difficult to engage in and perpetuate. Realistically, I don't expect the suggestions below to be adopted by any of the existing martial arts organizations but anyone involved in the future creation of such entities which award ranks might consider the inclusion of some of these proposals.
A giant step toward the elimination of abuses of dan rankings would be the design of a new type certificate containing supplementary information. What additional information ought to be included? To start with, a list of any previous ranks received together with the date and issuing authority of the promotion(s). Also, worthy of inclusion on the certificate would be an indication of whether or not the promotion is a "merit" rank or an "honorary" rank to distinguish between those who are being elevated based on ability and those non- or occasional practitioners who advance primarily due to their activities in support of the art. Here is an idea of how the information might look on the certificate of promotion:
"John Doe is hereby awarded the (honorary) rank of 3rd Dan, etc."
Date: September 15, 1985
Issuing Authority: Japan Aikido Federation
"Previous Ranks Issued"
2nd Dan
Rank Date: January 4,1982
Issuing Authority: Japan Aikido Federation
1st Dan
Rank Date: June 8, 1979
Issuing Authority: Japan Aikido Federation, etc.

Pristiq vs prozac
Common Questions and Answers about Pristiq vs prozac
But did you wean off of it as you introduced the
? If not you may be having with withdrawal from the
combined with the side effects of starting a new medication. Or it may just be that Pristiq is not for you. Talk to your doctor about these side effects, they're pretty scary and you need to know what to do at this point where medication is concerned. What works for one may not for another. I wish you all the best with this.

I just started
and Im also on ativan and abilify............wondering if anyone else has taken these meds together.I felt great after taking the pill last night now today im kinda scared and spacey feeling...any thoughts?

My doc wanted to switch me to
. I was told I wouldn't be as tired on
and that it might help me better with anxiety. I chose against it. I asked for Paxil. I have read that Paxil is good for anxiety. My doc was willing to let me try Paxil so I left with a script for Paxil. I wonder if I should've tried the Prozac. I had a doc tell me once that Paxil causes significant weight gain. Should I have tried Prozac?
Read More
Effexor-Xr, Cymbalta,
, older TCA's (Imipramine, Nortriptyline, Despiramine... I react very badly to all of them...). We try also the Prozac, Remeron and a lot of them that I don't even remember the name... The xanax became a big problem and I had too much memories problems as well as muscles cramps and pain all over my body... so I withdraw the Xanax with the same tapering method we used for the Klonopin...

I have been on nearly every med known to man for panic disorder/depression/sleep since I was 12 and I'm only 18. These include Largactyl, Valium, Deptran,
, Luvox, Lumin, Xanax, Serepax, Avanza, Stillnox... need I continue? In actual fact, I was prescribed Largactyl/Valium together to aid sleep/panic attacks.

I have been on Budeprion XL 300mg for 2 months but the first month I was taking it along with
and i was fine, then my doctor decided to take away the Prozac because it was making me sleepy, gain weight and have horrible nightmares every day.

Do any SSRI help with pain reduction? How is Zoloft, Lexapro,
, Celexa
Cymbalta in these regards? I am so confused with all tyhe med choices. I have picked up the Cymbalta at 1 tab 60 mg a day, but I want to make sure I should be on an snri as opposed to ssri prior to starting one. Is Cymbalta 60 mg dose safe to start? I have had some extensive tests to try & find a physical cause of my mid-back & chest pain/tight breathing sensations.
Read More
Just remember that relief doesn't come overnight (as much as we wish it did), and meds like Zoloft, Paxil,
, etc (SSRI's) and SNRI's (
, Effexor, etc) can take 4-6 weeks or more to really start making a difference...hence where the "patience" part comes in....a trait NONE of us are very familiar with, lol. For me, I have had great success with a few SSRI's...Zoloft, Lexapro and Prozac...all at different times in my life.
Read More
There really is nothing that needs being done about it. It's no secret that SNRI drugs such as Effexor,
, and Cymbalta do have a higher risk of what is called Discontinuation Syndrome. SSRI's can also be nasty buggers to discontinue. Paxil being one of many. I hear a lot of people complain about antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome, but I never hear then speak of the flip side. I used to take Effexor XR at 300Mgs a day for about 4 years.

In the studies released so far, Pristiq just barely squeaks by placebo on the Hamilton Depression scale. In the U.S. study,
decreased the HamD by only 2 points (-11.5
. -9.5 for placebo), and in the European study, the differences was 2.5 points. And for the higher 100 mg dose, there was no difference between drug and placebo for U.S. patients." This is from the Carlot Report. I didn't read the whole thing.

I said I wanted the Cymbalta back (she suggested Cymbalta,
, Effexor- all SNRI's which maybe my body likes? Side bar- I took Prozac yrs ago (20 yrs) in college and it worked like a charm. Tried again in 2008 & sadly it wasn't working so they upped my dose from 20mg to 40mg & that sent me right over the edge like the Zoloft did this time! Both SSRI's- apparently I can't take those)?!

or Lexapro. But you answered your own question -- everyone is different.
does seem to have the least chance of the ssris for weight gain. With the tricyclics weight gain is rarer, though it can happen, but then there are other side effects such as dry mouth and constipation. Look, these meds are affecting your brain, they're all going to have some side effects. The question is whether they do more for you than against you.

My anxiety is helped by 10mg of
. These meds take a while to work. I use klonopin prn. Antidepressants help some people with anxiety. Even no depression. I think cymbalta might be stronger. Maybe just different because two neurotransistors.

A fascinating research study was published today by Irving Kirsch of the University of Hull, questioning whether or not 4 popular antidepressants are any better than placebo, and found that they weren't any better. Here's the study: http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.

If you have a panic disorder, you should be put on a SSRI like the Paxil, Zoloft,
, Luvox, Celexa or Lexapro... if you can't tolerate them or if the panic disorder don't improve after at 8 weeks at the maximum dose, you should switch to another agent like the older TCA's (Imipramine, Clomipramine)... since the TCA's have more side effects, they are harder to start and they increase a lot the anxiety at first...

Now she's suggesting Effexor,
, or Zoloft which aren't given to treat ADD. What is my doctor thinking? I guess I have a lot of questions for my next appointment. I have made one decision; I'm not taking Effexor, Prozac or Zoloft. I plan to ask for a higher dose of Wellbutrin but, I'd like to know how long it takes to start working before I do this. My doctor seems to think it should start working fairly early after you start taking the drug, but I don't trust her.

Hi, I have been on Effexor XR for 3 years and I have gained about 40-50pounds, most when my dose was increased to 225, now I am on 75mg b/c I'm getting ready to wean off the medicine in a couple of weeks,and I haven't lost anything yet. My eating habits have not changed and I exercise. I have always been underweight and I could eat whatever I wanted...I'm only 26 years old...I know my metabolism has changed some, but not enough to pack on 40 pounds.

the weight gain with effexor and then even more so with lexapro. I was on effexor for approx a year+, then on lexapro for only 3months...I started to gain weight and it's taken me 7 months after not taking any of the meds to lose 7 pounds. I've always been obsessive with excercise and dieting, yet none of this has helped....soooo frustrating. I just got back on prozac and the weight is starting to drop...

It has reportedly done as well in clinical trials as SSRI drugs like
, but unlike
, it doesn't block the reuptak (rabsorption) of serotonin, it actuall directly increases the amount in the body. The proper anti-depressant dose is supposed to be 100 mg. 3 times daily (or a total of 6 50mg. capsules). You might want to start out taking half that -- 1 50mg capsule three times a day and see how you feel on it, then increase the dose to 2 50 mg. capsules 3 times daily.

The last time the Angels faced Mariners right-handed starter Felix Hernandez, they roughed him up for 10 hits and two homers, including Alberto Callaspo's sixth-inning, pinch-hit grand slam, in a 5-3 Angels victory in Seattle on May 26.
That was when the Angels were really in a groove, turning around their season from an 18-25 start with their fifth straight victory.
Things have changed a lot since then. The Angels haven't won more than two in a row since June (a four-game streak in Baltimore and Toronto from June 24-28). Meantime, Hernandez, the 2010 AL Cy Young winner, is looking as if he'll give Jered Weaver some competition in this year's race. Hernandez is 6-0 with a 1.41 ERA over his last 10 starts (12ER in 76.1 IP).
When Hernandez takes the mound Friday night (7:05 start) to begin a three-game series at the Big A, he'll have the benefit of five days' rest. His last start was a true gem -- a two-hit 1-0 shutout at Yankee Stadium.
"I think any pitcher, no matter if they're in an elite class like Hernandez, (Justin) Verlander or Weaver or any of the elite pitchers, there's gonna be games where it doesn't click, and games where you get hit," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Hernandez in that May game that now seems so long ago. "But he's good. You're gonna have to earn every hitting count, you're gonna have to earn every base hit, and he's not gonna give in. He's gonna continue to do what he does as far as pounding good pitches. You just have to be ready for it."
The Seattle Times' Geoff Baker has more on Hernandez and how some of his wonkier stats compare to Weaver's.

Busy times
January 30, 2012
Contributed by Brad Fuller
So far, this semester is by far my hardest and I'm starting to feel the effects of it. I'm getting tired and worn down, but I can also feel myself acquiring a vast amount of knowledge. Yesterday was the first time in my life when I did homework from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed, only breaking for meals (this is not a common occurrence and it was partially preventable, so no worries). In my athletic training classes, we are learning how to do ankle evaluations, the basis of theory of rehabilitation, and different muscles of the body. Today is also the first day of my new clinical rotation, softball. They either practice at 5 in the morning inside or in the afternoon outside. Today they will be outside, so I got a little extra sleep! However, I am looking forward to what this rotation has to offer, since I have never worked with the softball team. This week should also be a nice slow down after last week(end), but I do have that research project to start… In other news, I'm looking forward to some new music in February. The two biggest releases I'm looking forward to are Grimes – Visions and Of Montreal – Paralytic Stalks. I will share my opinion as soon as its available!
