|I had a large ivy-leaf cyclamen, 6-7" wide and very flat, that I had been growing successfully for the past several years. Last year it went into its normal leafless dormancy, and by Spring it had completely rotted out. Is it normal for these corms to have a limited 'lifespan'? If I had divided the corm a couple of years ago, would it have made a difference?
Luckily, I have 3 little selfed seedlings from that plant that are doing well after one year, and any insights would be appreciated.
(I tend to keep cyclamens shallow-potted with the top of the corm exposed from the soil. During late winter dormancy I keep them in a cool room with no water or direct light for several months.)
Follow-Up Postings:
|Found this at the link below:
Do not water the center of the plant or the tuber may rot."
". Once all the leaves have dried, a process that could take up to two months, the tuber may be repotted into a container that is 1 inch larger in diameter than the old pot. This is usually necessary only every 2 years."
Lucky you to have some little seedling left though.
Here is a link that might be useful: Getting the Most Out of Your Blooming Plant
|I've heard of cyclamen that are 40-50 years old and going strong. Dividing the corm probably would not have helped and I think it's kind of a risky move with healthy cyclamen.
|I've heard of cyclamen that are 40-50 years old and going strong.
Kato, are you talking about cyclamen as house plants, or about hardy cyclamen planted in the ground?
Sue...off to plant daffs....
|I am a bit puzzled. For me, C hederifolia is in active leaf over the winter and goes dormant over summer before ignoring drought and popping up in flower in later summer. It gets all the winter rain, and the rotting leaves under a plum tree. Impervious.
Sometimes the hybrids with the very decorative leaves simply collapse just as you've described. Doesn't matter whether you have given those wretched little tubers perfect drainage and gentle cossetting - they turn to inner mush. Meanwhile, others continue serenely toward a floriferous old age.
I think I'd leave C persicaria and offspring with their snoots above the ground. C hederifolia I'd snuggle up a bit more - and have excellent drainage.
Perhaps not the prolonged dry. Not in potting media - which might have introduced a pathogen as it dried/broke down over the winter. It can happen as you describe with begonia tubers as well. Could be a soil-borne fungus, though I've not been bothered enough by it to check.
Given that you've succeeded so well for so long it's unlikely to be something like excessive late watering or feeding.
Hope your two littlies do well for you.

|My rule of thumb for dormant bulbs, tubers, etc. is to start increasing water and light only when some new growth is seen. When they insist on going dormant, I let them, and with hippis, I sometimes have to force them into dormancy.
In the case of dahlias, I have had great success storing them deep in dry peat moss, and pouring about 1 cup of water over the peat moss in mid-winter. By April, the tubers are just about as fat as when they were stored.
|I've heard of both hybrids and hardies that have led long lives. I guess they are by nature long lived, but newer types are probably more 'bloom themselves to death' kind of plants.
rredbeard- is it hederifolium you have or more of a florist cyclamen? Like vetivert mentioned, the florist types seem to enjoy just rotting out for spite. But either way I've always thought of cyclamen as cool weather loving plants....(not usually dormant in the winter).
|vetivert - I was wondering about the name 'ivy leaved cyclamen' too. If it is C hederifolium, then I agree it would be evergreen in the winter, as it is in my garden. But I was thrown by the dimensions. I took 6 - 7 ins to be the diameter of the corm in which case I doubted it was C hederifolium. Mine don't get that big. Is that the diameter of the foliage rather than the corm?

|I don't know the proper name for this cyclamen, but the leaves were very small, maybe 1" long, zonal with the 'spiked' ivy pattern, and the little pink flowers were about the same size on short stems, very charming. I kept it as a cool grower and was careful not to get water in the middle of the corm. I'll see how the seedlings do.
|Rick, I have the feeling you are done with this post and we are kinda beating it to death LOL but one last thing.... do the blooms come before the leaves show or are the leaves already out when the flowers start coming? Hederifolium would likely bloom before the leaves are out.
Anyway the fact that you've kept it growing a couple seasons and even got some seedlings coming along makes me think you're having better success than I ever do!
You should try a couple of the hardy cyclamen outside, they should do well for you and are as easy as hostas... almost :)
- Posted by rredbbeard SE CT USA/zone 6 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Oct 28, 11 at 6:13
|Flora--in answer to your question, the corm itself is/was 6-7" wide and would be completely leafless in dormancy. Flowers would often appear before leaves. I suspect that a fungus may have been to blame.
I always like to hear what people have to say on these forums...
|Wow - that is a monster. From your description it does sound like C hederifolium which is hardy, at least in my climate. They have finished blooming for me for this year and are now showing the attractive foliage which will last all winter. Here are some white ones blooming outdoors in September. Notice that there is no foliage yet.
Rick, I am wondering whether the fact that you had yours indoors and were keeping them dormant in the winter might have something to do with the problem. They naturally bloom in late summer, leaf out in the winter and go dormant to avoid the summer heat.
kato_b - for me these are far easier than hostas. The snails don't eat them!

Vt. hikers rescued from NH mountainOctober 09,2013Vt. hikers rescued
from NH mountain
GORHAM, N.H. Two Vermont hikers are safe after being rescued from a New Hampshire mountain after a storm.
The couple were on the summit of Mount Madison in the White Mountains on Monday afternoon when a severe storm soaked them and their gear.
Then a dense fog made it nearly impossible to see the trail. With temperatures dropping, they called 911 for help at about 7 p.m.
Rescuers hiked about four miles up the trail and found them shortly after 1 a.m.
Twenty-eight-year-old Raymond Barnard and 27-year-old Stephanie Watkins of Brownsville, Vt., were cold and wet but able to put on dry clothing and follow rescuers down.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said the pair had used sleeping bags and tent rain fly to protect themselves, which probably saved their lives.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair.

They're not available, however if you were to gently take one apart, you could scan the white side of it and do your own artwork.
Just a thought on a better use of your money for each player's stuff:
* Gallon zyplock bag and a collectible card album sheet(s).
* Basic action summary sheet (instead of the stack of cards)

I've read a few posts about this, and I'm convinced that I'm going to use corny kegs for primaries and secondaries, but still have one question that's bugging me:
Does anyone use a corny as a primary, and how much wort do you put in there? I'm willing to modify my recipes for 4.0-4.5G batches if I need to, but would rather not. What I'd actually do is probably boil 9G batches, and use 2 cornies as primaries etc. I'm planning to use a blowoff tube attached to the Co2 QD.
If I can't find any recommendations, then I'll go forward and do a normal 5G batch and see how it works out, then post the results.
You're not going to have much headspace if you are doing 5gal batches. Plus you'll have a very dirty corny to clean. Not a problem if you have skinny arms but mine are fat enough I can't reach the bottom of the corny.
I'd stick with using them only for secondaries.
Beer, happy Produce of our Isle/Can sinewy Strength impart,
And wearied with Fatigue and Toil/Can cheer each manly Heart.
Labour and Art upheld by Thee/Successfully advance,
We quaff Thy balmy Juice with Glee/And Water leave to France.
Genius of Health, thy grateful Taste/Rivals the Cup of Jove,
And warms each English generous Breast/With Liberty and Love!(Rev James Townley, 1751)
I have not done this, but a bottle of Fermcap-S from NB will definitely be your friend in this experiment.
I'd remove the QD post and tube then attach the blow off tube to the QD treads
See this months HTB...article all about it. It didn't make me want to try it, but I would imagine there's a pointer or two in it for those that do.
do you not have any primaries? i would just use carboys and transfer to keg for secondary.
i've broken two carboys. both times it was because i did something stupid.
the weight sucks and the chance of breaking is higher. other than that, they are the best IMO. so much easier to clean, will last forever, and i still like to see what's going on with my fermentation.
start fermenting in kegs and i think you'll need to take them apart every few times you use them just to ensure they are clean. just seems like more trouble than its worth to me. if you're worried about shatters, i would agree with budbo on trying the better bottles.
keg for the secondary is great, tho. from there you can cold condition and tap straight from the keg, you could use it as a bright tank, or you can filter to another keg. it gives great options.

Unfortunately our last visit was next to ruined by a little incident that never should have occurred.
While gambling on a slot machine at the bar I accidently threw away a winning hand by failing to hold my winning cards. I admit that it was not the brightest thing to do I mentioned to a friend what I had done in a joking manner as the amount was not very significant.
One of the bartenders overheard the conversation & indicated that they could call someone to check the history & "possibly" get back my credits.
Being only $15.00 it did not seem to be a big deal but he was already calling someone to check it out.
First a lady came over & I explained what happenned & she said that I should not drink while gambling but I had only been there a short time after driving five hours & consumming only a couple of drinks. She also said that poker was not my game.
Then another lady came over who seemed to be her supervisor & when hearing about the ordeal told me that if I was too STUPID to hold my cards it was my problem & there was nothing she could do about it.
I had just showed up to the casino for a three day stay to hear someone call me stupid as I spend my hard earned money at an establishment that I had always been happy with & would still be.
If I was her boss she would have been reprimanded on the spot as my job is in customer service & words like that are not acceptable!!
As a long time customer of Terribles with a lot of great memories it is unfortunate that one incident like this can change my future plans as a loyal customer to your fine establishment.
That word she said rang through my head all three days & my wife, friends & people in the vicinity of the ordeal were as shocked as myself.
I never had the intention to recover the money in the first place. It was only the choice of verbage that marred my stay.
Thanks for listening!

Although I have always enjoyed Terribles before, our Dec '05 trip was another matter.
Terribles is in the process of adding a garage (sorely needed) and new hotel tower - meanwhile both hotel security and upkeep are suffering. Employees lockers are now located in trailers on the south end of the property - they tend to leave all the doors open to the hotel - but in reality, you can walk directly from the casino to the hotel corridors anyway! the other concern is that the rooms which I have stayed in before were usually clean, neat, in good repair - this time the window had no weather-stripping, the shower head had a leak that sprayed water on the wallpaper above (although I must admit both were fixed quickly once I notified them) and the room felt somewhat old and tattered - although Terribles was never fancy, it had always been better than on this visit.
The breakfast buffet and all the food at the Bouganvillea cafe remain well priced and good (basic food), and I did win a $100 bonus on a 18 line penny machine - but they no longer have good coupon books, and the casino, as always is very tight with machines, and usually quite smoky.
This visit I was out playing elsewhere, and went to pick up my husband outside the hotel - he had to stand there with two employees who had just been fired - was a bit uncomfortable! After quite a while, someone seemed to notice on security cameras, and came and shooed them away.
During my Jan '06 visit I did go to Terribles several times for breakfast buffet (buffet has 2-1 coupons, and they honour them at 1/2 price for buffet if you are dining along) as well as for lunch - low redemption values at a kiosk opposite front desk and great Chinese food lunch specials (weekdays), I think we will no longer stay there until the construction is complete.
It's a shame - they have shuttle to/from airport and some of the best prices in town.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Terribles Hotel and Casino
Great valuefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Terribles a real findfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The room was overlooking their pool courtyard. Very generous with their player club members offering many 2 for 1's in both the restaurant and buffet. Although it was about 1 mile from the strip on Flamingo, it was a very plesant experience.
Terribles-a good deal!from spanky132
Above average for the pricefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Loved itfrom A TripAdvisor Member
I loved itfrom A TripAdvisor Member
What a value!from magicfish
This is mainly a locals joint, so rooms are generally reasonable - no, I'll say it - they're usually CHEAP!!! I stayed almost a week in Dec.
2003 for $9.95 a night ! Check their website - buy one night, get one free - and other really cheap rates are usually available if you plan in advance; very generous slot club lets even a low roller like me take home merchandise, get free meals, etc.; one recent deal offered room nights for quite low points.
Don't eat the buffet except for breakfast, and make sure you have a coupon - 2-1, but also honored at half price for people dining alone; at that price ($2.50 per tax pp) you can't lose - made to order omelets are the hightlight.
Their restaurant, the Bouganvillea cafe, is another matter - good basic food, great prices - check out the lunch specials and the late night/earling morning ones. They feature Chinese food specials at lunch, and have a new Mexican section of the menu. Coupons are readily available online or in their monthly newsletter (not always in stock when you get there - get them online). They have even been putting coupons in the rooms for selected reduced cafe price specials. Try the house wine - pretty decent, but definitely inexpensive.
As for the casino, it can be a little crowded and noisy - but you'll find good odds on 25 cent and up video poker, a small sportsbook, and even a bingo room - table mins. start at $5, and there are tons of slots crammed into this space. The casino can also seem smoky at times.
The rooms are basic but clean - I did have a room once with water damage. I recommend the third floor to avoid noise from rooms above. I had problems with neighbors on my last visit, and I found security to be both prompt and efficient.
They have a free fitness center for registered guests, and it includes a full bathroom, as well as a computer station that has a PC with web acess.
If you don't care about being right on the strip (hotel/casino is on Flamingo at Paradise), and just want a cheap, basic room, this may be the place for you! You can always catch the Flamingo bus just outside for a cheap ride to the strip, and Terribles has a free hotel shuttle to/from McCarran airport.

Top Local Tips for Las Vegas
Rental Car Be sure to rent a car so you can see all of Vegas and the nearby attractions! The rentals are a good value and parking is free and it is easy to get around.
Buses Make use of the CAT & Deuce bus systems. Currently they're $2 for a one-way trip, but you can get a pass for $5 that gives you unlimited travel for 24 hours. Just avoid the Strip at the weekend as you're better walking due to the traffic.
You get what you pay for. First and last time staying at a budget property. Spend the money and stay at a pricier, Strip property.

Ok, we come in this morning adn find we can't remote login or directly login to the server. All that happens is it sits on the blue background with the mouse cursor and nothign else. The server seems to be OK, no problem with users logging in and had no complaints about anything not working. It just seems to be a problem managing the server. Disk space is OK, CPU load is ok, memory is ok. There looks like there was something funny on Friday evening as there are DHCP errors but these have stopped for teh past half hour after I stopped Indexing on the DHCP folder (something suggested else where)
Anyone nay ideas apart from Reboot? Of course the server is the forest root with all the staff user areas on so not going to be easy to restart during the day.

"The stars seemed near enough to touch and never before have I seen so many. I always believed the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, but I was sure of it that night." – Amelia EarhartIn Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. Pictures help bring the story to life, and the concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. During the early 20th century, groundbreaking technology revolutionized transportation both on the ground and in the sky, with new motors making automobiles and airplanes a reality in the 1910s. Around that same time, the feminist movement was underway in the United States, spearheaded by women seeking the right to vote, lobbying for the temperance movement, and trying to make their voices heard. It was at that crossroads that flight pioneer Amelia Earhart found herself in 1919, the very year President Wilson and Congress were trying to shepherd through the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote. That year, Earhart was given a ride on a plane piloted by legendary air racer Frank Hawks, and as she recalled, "By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground, I knew I had to fly." Earhart's unbridled joy for flying was only occasionally abated by a lack of finances, and a recurring sinus issue, but throughout the 1920s she was one of the few women licensed to fly, and she set an altitude record of 14,000 feet for women in 1922. In 1928, Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, but she was disappointed that she had to do so as a passenger, complaining, "I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes." Nevertheless, that trip made "Lady Lindy" the "Queen of the Air" in America, and Earhart was now the nation's best known aviatrix. With her fresh face available for promoting everything from luggage to women's clothing, Earhart was able to finance her own aviation and remain involved in promoting air travel and flying to skeptical Americans. In May 1932, Earhart finally made her solo flight across the Atlantic, for which she received the Distinguished Flying Cross from Congress, the Cross of Knight of the Legion of Honor from the French Government and the Gold Medal of the National Geographic Society from President Herbert Hoover.By the mid-1930s, Earhart had set many altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century's most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation's largest and costliest manhunts. Unfortunately, the speculation over exactly what happened to Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance have come to overshadow and obscure her many accomplishments. History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Amelia Earhart looks at the theories attempting to explain her disappearance, but it also humanizes the woman whose love of flying propelled her to unprecedented heights among both the clouds and her countrymen. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in her life, your kids will learn about Amelia Earhart like never before.

(President and CEO)[1]
Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) is a subsidiary of the Honda of Japan for the production, marketing and export of passenger cars in India. Formerly known as Honda Siel Cars India Ltd, it began operations in December 1995 as a joint venture between Honda Motor Company and Usha International of Siddharth Shriram Group. In August, 2012, Honda bought out Usha International's entire 3.16 percent stake for 1.8 billion in the joint venture. The company officially changed its name to Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) and became a 100% subsidiary of Honda.
It operates production facilities at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh and at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan. The company's total investment in its production facilities in India as of 2010 was over 16.2 billion.[2]
HCIL's first manufacturing unit at Greater Noida commenced operations in 1997. Setup at an initial investment of over 4.5 billion, the plant is spread over 150 acres (0.61 km2). The initial capacity of the plant was 30,000 cars per annum, which was thereafter increased to 50,000 cars on a two-shift basis. The capacity has further been enhanced to 100,000 units annually as of 2008. This expansion led to an increase in the covered area in the plant from 107,000 m² to over 130,000 m².
The company invested 7.8 billion in Bhiwadi for its second production plant with an annual production capacity of 50,000 units.[2] It operates under the ISO 9001 standard for quality management and ISO 14001 for environment management.
Honda setup its Third plant in India at Tapukara in Alwar District of Rajasthan, spread over 450 acres with an investment of ₹3526 crores.[3]

Scouts Buzz: Bears' offense is flawed
Originally Published: October 26, 2009By Matt Williamson | Scouts Inc.
AP Photo/Tom UhlmanJay Cutler's confidence, usually an asset, can become a liability when the Bears' offense struggles.After watching the Week 7 matchups, Scouts Inc. shares its 10 key observations: 1. The Chicago Bears' offense has serious flaws: Because they have no semblance of a running game and thanks to QB Jay Cutler's nature, the Bears probably always will be very streaky on offense. LT Orlando Pace is not what he once was by any stretch of the imagination, and the offensive line in general has not opened holes for RB Matt Forte, who is not running with the same conviction he did last season. But Cutler has a remarkable amount of confidence in his arm and playmaking ability. Although that often works in his favor, you also get days like Sunday, when he simply makes throws he has no business attempting. This is a flawed offense.

|Hi, I just wanted to know if there are any fellow "Native Plant People" here in this forum. There is definately alot that I would like to say about native plants. There is definately more that should be understood, and more growers needed.
Any native plant growers (enthusiasts) out there?
Follow-Up Postings:
|yes we would like to be ; )
I have the space if you have the plants!
|Cyanea, I too have a very small collection of native Hawaiian plants but am trying to add to it! It is true that we need to do more to preserve our native flora. I too have some space, what do you have in mind?
|I have choke plants that I need to give away and want to distribute. I got a list of some of them on my memeber page. I am constantly propogating new plants some of them very rare in cultivation and in the wild.
Many coastal species too. These plants are beautiful, but also really tough when it comes to low nutrient hot substrate (sand, white coral), salt spray, and the xeriscape factor.
lmk. if anything.
|I am new to this garden web thing after seeing your message. This holiday weekend I planted two Ohia Lehua, two na'u, some palapala and a lot of Lauai. Looking for more variety that I can grow in Manoa (near the tea room), particularily a Koa and naupaka kuahiwi but generally anything native that will stay relatively small (the Koa and Ohia are the main plants in the garden, now need smaller edge dwellers). Any hints on where to look or what to look for. Thanks, Jim H.
|Man I have been growing plants for a while and Hawaiian plants are the ones that I never could get my hands on. I have looked far and wide for Hawaiian plants, but there are so few and not that many good growers out there with the right touch for these delicate plants. If you got some extra siting around, I will make the room for them. Thanks, B
|I'm looking for seeds of the Hawaiian Prickly Poppy, Argemone glauca. Does anyone know of a source for this pretty white poppy?
|How about ahinahina (artesimia)? It is a sorta silver white small plant similiar to dusty miller. I think it would be a good garden foilage plant and should be easy to get folks to grow it if they could just get some.
Here's a website that Matt has recommended before which has a lot of local plants on it.

|I just moved to Kauai (North Shore so plenty of rain)and have land to do a nice garden. In California I focused entirely on native coastal plants and would like to do the same here. So please give me names and sources for any you recommend.
My first project is to complete the screening from neighbors so native shrubs or screening materials are much needed.
Also I want to support increasing native plant populations and reducing invasive foreign plant populations, as I did on the mainland. Is there any organization in Hawaii that protects and propigates native species? (If not, let's get one started!)
|There are many people growing native Hawaiian plants in Hawaii, and many VERY GOOD growers at that. It is good to see many younger people expressing an interest in native Hawaiian plants.
I good way to see native Hawaiian plants and speak with those who are interested in them is to volunteer for projects such as with the Nature Conservancy. You will soon find that your collection will grow very fast and you will have plants that you never thought possible! Aloha a hui hou

|I now grow a limited number of native Hawaiian plants but have become the grounds committee head for a non profit group that has beachfront property on the north shore of Oahu. We are interested in increasing the numbers of native plants there and eliminating more of the non-native species on the lot.
Specifically I am looking for salt tolerant trees, flowers and shrubs. The trees should be those that are 30 feet or less when fully grown.
I have had a lot of experience with Bonsai cultivation but not with native trees.

|I have just come back from the big island and brought back seeds from the Hawaiian poppy. Anyone interested?
|I definite am interested in those poppy seeds!

|I have just aquired a few (about 10) fresh Stemmadenia
seeds that I would like to trade for native plant seeds.
Stemmadnia litoratis is not a Hawaiian native but is a spectacular small tree with many fragrant white flowers.
|I would love to grow native Hawaiian plants, but they are difficult to find here in Los Angeles.
There are some species that I know will do well here in coastal southern California. The Mildred Mathias Botanical Garden at UCLA has several Hawaiian natives: Acacia koa, Hibiscus, and Wilkesia gymnoxiphium (iliau). And there are a few palm nurseries in San Diego that sell Pritchardia (P. hillebrandii and P. remota are two that I have seen for sale)
Do you know of any sources for native Hawaiian plant seeds? I would love to try propagating some for my garden.
I am especially interested in finding a source for Sadleria cyatheoides (Amau). Are they available from commercial nurseries in Hawaii?

|Aloha everyone,
I'm Dave, 18 year old entomology & photography student. I moved to Hawaii from Arizona in feb of '05, and lived on Oahu for two years before moving here to the Garden Island.
Anyone over here? Lol.
I've only seriously been gardening for the last year and a half or so, since we moved to Kauai. On the entomology side, I am working on a small set-up to breed local butterflies, which ties into local botany in general.
I know this is not completely pertinent to the thread, but being closely related, I thought Id give it a shot as it may also help to preserve other aspects of the Hawaiian ecosystem!
Aloha and all the best,
~Dave K. N.
|Cyanea - Would love to get some of the native hibiscus and some attractive low ground cover - preferably with flowers. Can you get them to Kauai ?
- Posted by johndp8888 Oahu, Hawaii (My Page) on Wed, Feb 13, 08 at 15:29
|Hello Dave and pueokai
I have access to Mamaki plant seeds in season and to the prostrate Ilima form as a ground cover. Live plants are harder to transport. If you have a home depot on Kauai, they will have all of this or can get them. If seeds would work, let me know and I will send.
|Hey john, would love the Ilima seeds. how do I send you my address ?

|Aloha! I live in Hilo and would love to have some plants too. I have an empty backyard that's just waiting for some plants. I would particularly love to have an Ohia tree, flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees as well.
- Posted by johndp8888 Oahu, Hawaii (My Page) on Mon, Feb 18, 08 at 10:47
|Native plants can be purchased on the big island at Home depot in Kona, at some garden stores in Hilo, at the state forestry facility just outside of Waimea and at the Amy greenwell ethnobotanical garden in Captain Cook. I get many of my native plants from the big island even though I live on Oahu. The author of this thread has been a real help to me on native plants.
On the Ilima seeds, it would be better that you get the plants locally, as they are available to you there. That prevents the mixing of plants from one island with another.

|I am a "Native Plant Person" however I'm in the Rockies.
We are looking to move to Kauai in the next year or 2 (Husband wants to go YESTERDAY!) and of course, I'll be planting native there.
Where on Kauai is the most ideal location for gardening? I know there is a dry area, a wet area, and areas that are right inbetween. Can anyone give me more detailed information?
Also, I see there are some properties that have well water. Is well water usually good there on the island or does it need to be filtered/corrected?
Would appreciate any and all information you can share.
Happy Trails!

|I'm in southern California and I have started a hobby nursery where I am growing acacia Koa among other things. The trees are doing very well, and after 1 year's growth my seedlings are reaching 4-5 feet in height with good thickness. They did not flinch at the slight frosts but they do want lots of water.
I can recommend growing koa from seeds as they grow quite quickly. There are sources online where you can buy the seeds (such as banana-tree, just google).

I know its a super real longshot, but Iʻve always been particularly fond of Cyaneas and Clermontias... are there any species that are somewhat more hardy? Hardy enough to grow in Hilo town?

Manchester principal probe tops $100k
Former Manchester West Principal Mary Ellen McGorry speaks during a special naturalization ceremony at the high school last May. (UNION LEADER FILE)
The district had paid $47,955 through October to an employment investigative firm, and it spent an additional $52,975 for services rendered through Dec. 23, when it finalized its report on McGorry.
The investigation by the Massachusetts-based Employment Practices Group has continued since then, apparently focusing on the secretary, Denise Michael.
These figures do not include the money spent by the district on its outside attorneys, James O'Shaughnessy and Dean Eggert. Those figures were unavailable on Thursday.
McGorry, who had been a popular principal at West, and Michael were suspended a few weeks into the school year for reasons district officials have not disclosed.
McGorry had been on paid leave until late last month, when the board accepted her resignation while agreeing to pay her through April and cover health benefits through June.
Michael remains on paid leave.
McGorry's salary was $103,700 a year, and Michael is paid $27.80 an hour.
Citing employee privacy laws, district officials have refused to reveal the findings of the investigation or the nature of the allegations against McGorry or Michael.
Employment Practices Group compiled a report on McGorry that is 167 pages long, with exhibits totaling 368 pages, according to documents released by the legal counsel. District officials have not released the report to the school board or the media.
The firm has been billing the district $250 an hour for its services.
The legal expenses come as the district faces a budget crunch halfway through the fiscal year. The district's professional and technical services budget has been overspent due to "the legal projection for year end being higher than budgeted," according to the district's business administrator January financial report.
As of Thursday, the district had not provided more detailed information about its spending on legal services.
The school board has also voted to allow the superintendent to move forward with the hiring of John Rist, the former Central High principal, as the interim chief at West, at an estimated rate of $90 an hour, a move that has been harshly criticized by a couple members of the board.

Yet another workshop around! Still at Warwick, organised by Simon Barthelmé, Nicolas Chopin and Adam Johansen on the theme of statistical aspects of neuroscience. Being nearby I attended a few lectures today but most talks are more topical than my current interest in the matter, plus workshop fatigue starts to appear!, and hence I will keep a low attendance for the rest of the week to take advantage of my visit here to make some progress in my research and in the preparation of the teaching semester. (Maybe paradoxically I attended a non-neuroscience talk by listening to Richard Wilkinson's coverage of ABC methods, with an interesting stress on meta-models and the link with computer experiments. Given that we are currently re-revising our paper with Matt Moore and Kerrie Mengersen (and now Chris Drovandi), I find interesting to see a sort of convergence in our community towards a re-re-interpretation of ABC as producing an approximation of the distribution of the summary statistic itself, rather than of the original data, using auxiliary or indirect or pseudo-models like Gaussian processes. (Making the link with Mark Girolami's talk this morning.)

Great poster session yesterday night and at lunch today. Saw an ABC poster (by Dennis Prangle, following our random forest paper) and several MCMC posters (by Marco Banterle, who actually won one of the speed-meeting mini-project awards!, Michael Betancourt, Anne-Marie Lyne, Murray Pollock), and then a rather different poster on Mondrian forests, that generalise random forests to sequential data (by Balaji Lakshminarayanan). The talks all had interesting aspects or glimpses about big data and some of the unnecessary hype about it (them?!), along with exposing the nefarious views of Amazon to become the Earth only seller!, but I particularly enjoyed the astronomy afternoon and even more particularly Steve Roberts sweep through astronomy machine-learning. Steve characterised variational Bayes as picking your choice of sufficient statistics, which made me wonder why there were no stronger connections between variational Bayes and ABC. He also quoted the book The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery by Tony Hey as putting forward interesting notions. (A book review for the next vacations?!) And also mentioned zooniverse, a citizens science website I was not aware of. With a Bayesian analysis of the learning curve of those annotating citizens (in the case of supernovae classification).

understanding complex and large industrial data (UCLID 2014)Posted in pictures, R, Statistics, University life with tags academia and industry, big data, England, Lancaster University, UCLID, workshop on May 15, 2014 by xi'an
Just received this announcement of the UCLID 2014 conference in Lancaster, July 1-2 2014:
Understanding Complex and Large Industrial Data 2014, or UCLID, is a workshop which aims to provide an opportunity for academic researchers and industrial practitioners to work together and share ideas on the fast developing field of 'big data' analysis. This is a growing area of importance within academia and industry where the potential for new research and economic impact has been recognised.
UCLID 2014 is hosted by the STOR-i Doctoral Training Centre, which is based at Lancaster University. STOR-i's unique position between academia and industry provides an ideal venue for this event, as this workshop builds upon STOR-i's philosophy of cross-collaboration and implementation of new research within the wider community.

After ABC in Paris in 2009, ABC in London in 2011, and ABC in Roma last year, things are accelerating since there will be—as I just learned— an ABC in Sydney next July (not June as I originally typed, thanks Robin!). The workshop on the current developments of ABC methodology thus leaves Europe to go down-under and to take advantage of the IMS Meeting in Sydney on July 7-10, 2014. Hopefully, "ABC in…" will continue its tour of European capitals in 2015! To keep up with an unbroken sequence of free workshops, Scott Sisson has managed to find support so that attendance is free of charge (free as in "no registration fee at all"!) but you do need to register as space is limited. While I would love to visit UNSW and Sydney once again and attend the workshop, I will not, getting ready for Cancún and our ABC short course there.

There will be another i-like workshop this Spring, over two days in Oxford, St Anne's College, involving talks by Xiao-Li Meng and Eric Moulines, as well as by researchers from the participating universities. Registration is now open. (I will take part as a part-time participant, travelling from Nottingham where I give a seminar on the 20th.)

|We were dead set on getting a gas free standing range oven like a Wolf R304 30" or something similar.
But with a child in our future would it make more sense to get a Rangetop & move the oven to a wall?
I guess besides safety for the little guy, it maybe even be less expensive esp with cutting the Wolf in half & replacing the oven with another brand.
Another consideration is would a Wolf Rangetop lose cache for future home resell vs a Wolf full range?
So the questions for me that I would love to get some insights on are:
1) Performance between rangetop vs. range oven?
Thanks for any replies.

|It's really a matter of personal choice. I can't answer your questions specifically, can tell you my experience.
We had a wall oven and a cooktop. We recently replaced the cooktop with a 36" Wolf DF, and kept the wall oven (best of both worlds, and allows for 2 ovens--wold recommend it if it's a possibility for you.)
I absolutely love the range, and there's no way I'd go back, even if it meant having to give up my wall oven.
The wall oven has some definite pros:
1) It's slightly higher than the range oven, and this makes it much more comfortable to use, especially when taking frequent temperatures, lifting heavy pans of food, and stirring things in the oven
2) If I'm at the range, DH can be working on something in the oven (or vice versa), and we aren't in each other's way.
3) Some people (although, not me) find that the stove is uncomfortably hot to stand in front of while the oven is in use
4) Some people find the oven door bar on the range presses uncomfortably into their legs
5) The Wolf range oven door is heavy
I'm not sure whether there is a particular benefit to the range oven, per se, as compared to a Wolf or comparable wall oven. Some of the appliance gurus on this forum can speak to that.
Some people (and I'm one...) just *adore* the Wolf range. That could be a big selling point at resale time--a gorgeous, professional range. But as many a GWer has explained to me, the tastes of future buyers are hard to predict!
As for your little one, my range oven doesn't get any hotter than the wall oven. The handle is lower to the floor, though, if you're worried about your little one pulling the door open.
I think you'll be thrilled either way. Hope this was helpful!
|I prefer a range because of having it under the vent hood when I broil!
|Thank you Madeline616 for your nice & detailed thoughts.
What it ultimately boils down to is there is no right or wrong only what makes us happy.
@ eandhl - I guess I can see where you are coming from broiling wise!
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Mon, Apr 9, 12 at 15:35
|With separate units, you can choose each based on what you want from it specifically and independently from the features you may want from the other. For example, I love my Wolf L wall ovens, but my rangetop is from another company as I wanted open burners and none of the cleaning issues Rhome410 has with her Wolf.
It's really personal preference. Besides, with the Wolf rangetop you'd still get the red knobs. ;)
|I briefly considered a range top w/2 walls but then realized how often I transfer things from the cooktop to the oven. After that it was a no brainer to get the range, I can't imagine carrying a cast iron skillet from the range to wall oven. Still keeping the double stack too :)
|I have a range and I often use my burners at the same time as my oven and I like to be able to check things in the oven while I am cooking. I like to start things on the top and then finish them in the oven. I like to broil and use the vent. I have a Wolf and my door does not get hot so I do not notice any heat from the door.
I also have a wall oven and although it is small, I use it a lot as well.
So, the best of both worlds to me would be a range with good ventilation and a wall oven.
|Thanks for all your inputs!
That's another good point you've brought up.
Limiting any waist/lower back strain would be a true concern.
An alternative would be if the oven was in a close by wall @ waste height - no?
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 9, 12 at 17:29
|Hi Pbx,
Yes, oven in a nearby wall @ waist height is what I have (only now I have the range oven, too, but it used to be the cooktop, with the wall oven nearby, at waist height).
This is a great setup.
I'd really strongly recommend going to the Wolf showroom and pretending you're using the range. Ask them for a heavy pot, etc., and really spend some time without the salesman right there, so you can focus on whether it feels right. This is when I discovered the difference (back-wise) between my wall oven and the lower range oven. It's significant.
The other posters have brought up great points about checking the oven quickly and conveniently while cooking on the stove. But yes, if your oven is close by, it's just a few paces.
- Posted by cooksnsews (My Page) on Mon, Apr 9, 12 at 17:34
|A wall oven eliminates precious counter space unless you have a large kitchen. And separate cooktop and wall ovens are wayyyy more expensive than a comparable stand-alone ranges, if that means anything. Like eandhl, I like having my oven underneath the vent hood.
Don't worry about which one is best with kiddoes in your life. Children grow fast, and learn how to live safely within their environment. If range ovens were safety hazards, they wouldn't be allowed in family homes.

Europe's 'Paraffin Mafia' Is Punished
12:28 PM MDT | October 3, 2008 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
The European Commission has fined nine companies a combined €676 million ($974 million) for conspiring to fix prices of paraffin wax between 1992 and 2005. Sasol, Total, and ExxonMobil received the highest fines of €318.2 million, €128.2 million, and €83.6 million, respectively. The other fined companies are ENI (Rome), Hansen & Rosenthal (Hamburg), MOL (Budapest), Repsol, RWE (Essen, Germany), and Tudapetrol (Hamburg). Shell was also a member of the price-fixing cartel but its €96-million fine was rescinded because the company...

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Bonny Scotland
Paradise in Scotland
On Friday, I drove from Nuneaton, England, to St. Andrew's, Scotland, for my meeting. I very quickly determined that 1.) I was immensely blessed with perfect weather, and 2.) sunny Scotland in early spring is just about the most beautiful place I'd ever been in my life...and I've been to a lot of places! The best way to explain the weekend is to explain that I was immersed in green. Everything was green. And the air----the AIR was crisp and clean and just seemed to have more oxygen in it.
After my meetings were done, I wanted to take my extra couple of vacation days to do two things---drive around the country, and take pictures wherever I could. On Saturday, I drove from St. Andrew's on the east coast all the way to West Kilbride on the west coast. It did rain that day, but when I woke up on Sunday, the sun was out again!
For 10 years, I'd wanted to visit Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull because "Entrapment" was my favorite movie a decade ago, so I wanted to see Sean Connery's house from the film. I drove from West Kilbride up to Oban by way of Loch Lomond and Loch Lochy. I frequently stopped on the side of the road to get out and snap shots of the lakes and mountains. The perfect blend of clouds, sun, and hills were exactly what I'd been hoping for when I first determined I'd go on this trip. Once in Oban, I parked the car and bought a pedestrian ferry ticket to Craignure on the Isle of Mull.
The ferry ride was 45 minutes, and I think I took pictures for the full journey. Sailboats, emerald isles, lighthouses, and then, as you approach the Isle of Mull, Duart Castle looming ominously on the tip of the island.
I got off the ferry and hopped on the bus to Duart Castle. Once there, I spent a couple of hours on the property. The castle itself was spooky and musty, but the roofwalk at the top was such a highlight--you could see the mountains of Mull and the channels separating the Hebrides islands. So many people were taking advantage of the sun and wind that there were beautiful sailboats floating by as I sat in the grass beneath the castle and ate a snack. The trails below the castle were breathtaking, and I couldn't take enough photos. My favorite photo is the second one in the slideshow above--the sailboat, the clouds, the castle, the green fields---PERFECTION.
I took the ferry back to Oban, hopped in the car, and decided to go back to West Kilbride a different way. That was a great decision, because I happened upon the famous valley, Glen Coe. I'd been there 10 years ago, but it had been winter, freezing cold, and I didn't even stop to take a picture back then. But this day, I spent a couple of hours stopping and going through the glen...climbing hillsides, capturing waterfalls, breathing in the fresh air. 'Spectacular' is the best word used to describe it.
I made my way back down past Loch Lomond after that, spent the night in West Kilbride, and got up early the next morning for the 8 hour journey back to Nuneaton, England. They were some of the best 3 days of my life---I was so blessed by the people, the weather, the scenery, the nature, and the pure perfection of Scotland in early June.

Dramatic projected increase for county's mandatory retirement payments
ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKTV) - Oneida County's mandatory retirement payment is projected to increase from $1.7 million to $7 million, according to the Oneida County Comptroller Joseph Timpano.
Timpano warned that the 2010 retirement payment is projected to jump from $1.7 million to $7 million, and that in addition, the 2011 total disbursement is expected to reach $9.6 million, resulting in a two year increase of 80%, or $4.3 million. Timpano said that, in theory, this alone could result in a tax levy increase of 7.0%, assuming all other revenues and expenses stabilize during the next two years.
Comptroller Timpano's concern came about as he learned that the New York State Retirement Fund shrunk by $44 billion during the last state fiscal year, plunging from $153.9 billion to $109.9 billion.
"This fund currently pays retirement benefits to approximately 360,000 retired public employees and their beneficiaries," Timpano said in a Tuesday statement. "that includes state, county and municipal employees. These pensions are guaranteed by law, and therefore, cities, towns, villages, and counties are obligated to make up the difference between projected benefits and the plan's asset value."

see or do search on the forum.. first year good quote . three years later ooophs . major up set.and if you have an old boat don,t bother. if you have a 100k boat+ then less of a problem. its all the on costs you see. and sir you have a thirty year old boat. the german underwriters determine the premium, not my problem sir.

Sorry I realise rereading that it's not clear - in fact it is a private health insurance plan offered by Pantaenius (issued by Allianz) to liveaboards, it's not boat insurance.If the meek inherit the earth, that's going to be one hell of a tax bill.

I will sleep over it but my gut feeling is to cancel.
I was given the name of an Australian insurance company which also caters for the international cruising people but seem to have lost it, any advice on who insures international non-US sailors?Roger

I've just taken 6 month's europe wide health & repatriation out with Pantaenius for £155. Actual policy is with Towergate. Presumably cost increases with extent over cover - geographical & eventualities."Smell the sea and feel the sky,Let your soul & spirit fly" Van Morrison

Well that's interesting, ours is in pounds sterling and we reckon it's an increase of almost 50%! I think all policies are renewable on 1st March - it's a bit rich letting everyone know just 2 days before, especially as they take the annual fee automatically so you have no chance to say yes or no (ok they say you have 30 days to cancel but they take the money in the first place). Would also be very interested to know about this Australian policy, or any others around of a similar nature, as we too are inclined to cancel.If the meek inherit the earth, that's going to be one hell of a tax bill.
Cheers, Paul.

>I received my renewal policy today from Allianz Ireland (Pantaenius just market it) for payment on 01/03/2012! The premium went up from 1,1100 to 1,560 which is a 41.8% increase!
That's much cheaper than the likes of AXA PPP. But then I don't know the policy differences.
